Genuine question
Why do you personally not play Hysteria? I'm curious to hear the opinions of those who frown upon it or those who want to play but shy away.

hysteria has a dark spirit. i just think shes evil. she is twisted and unkind.
you don’t ask me to 🥺
People on this site can't handle social games cause they get too heated or throw a fit when they cant just sweat thru the comps like race lol
The layout gives me a headache
Premades, the drama in the comments is overwhelming every time I check one, and I just can't with that.
Thats the only issue with a Hysteria is its literally the exact same format as frenzy but with comps. Theres absutely zero incentive for people who aren't good at challenges to play. We can play exact same game with random hoh/poverty
Axel I disagree. If you make the right relationships with people you don’t have to rely on the comps. Plus you have a choice on what to do for HOH or POV so if you play your cards right you can still win it.
NicoRobin fair, social game will always triumph. But at the point i may as well play the exact same format but have a chance to win power, in frenzy
Not good at comps, would rather play the same exact game in frenzy where I have a chance to win hoh and veto at random
because it takes forever to fill, fills when i'm not looking, and then i'm kicked out for being "inactive"
i feel its far too much work and the frenzy/social players are so tight, theyll never save an gamebot/gamebot wannabe
honestly i do find it can be a bit draining race/arena are relatively light hearted and it never feels like anyone is upset with me if something goes awry LOL but hysteria has higher stakes that i just don’t have the patience for most days. people can be insane
While I know I can do well in Hysteria in most circumstances (given I don't get random HOH'd out on day 1, i will likely win power for the next 4-5 days and secure a good placement. That is 1. not engaging to me. and 2. I piss off like 4 people if I do have to be social and actually play the game, and it has gotten me harrassed like 2-3 times by 2-3 individuals and it just does not feel worth it with how unhinged some people get.
It seems like one of the games where you SPECIFICALLY need a premade to do well. On top of that, and this is noah fence to anyone but im not really in the mood to play a game where the top 10 of the HoF is going to just trade HoH's and POVs
I enjoy the game, but I don't have any motivation to play when there's no ranking system attached to it. Race/Arena I am fine playing because there's almost certainly a guarantee I won't have to backstab friends. Hysteria I will 99% have to backstab a friend in order to win and I no longer think it's worth it if I won't gain any ELO.
I enjoy the game, but I feel like if you don’t play it regularly those who do have so many preexisting relationships there’s only so much you can do. Kinda like the frenzy games. At least in hysteria you have comps to save yourself, but I feel like the game has the same few ppl in it over and over.
Goomybear I just got 10th because I tried to play in a game where I knew no one and started fresh. But since I was late in everyone already had their alliances. Then the HOH gets picked random so you can't really do anything about it then.
I've been wanting to play for so long lmfao, however, the games almost never fill and when I do have time to play a game, they are at like 3/11
i like playing 1 a day. but the premades are annoying
Its never filling when im looking and i only join games if its close to filling
Excellent blog wish it filled 🫶
I think of it as playing Frenzy except I have no chance of getting HOH or POV
1. My friends don’t join 2. Never anyone in it that I know 3. I miss ranked
If I’m playing hysteria i can’t be a nuke so I only play them when i know i can give the competitions my best effort.
I play it whenever ones filling
Cause there are always the same people
tbh my biggest issue is the layout. It's so ugly, I get irrationally angry that the avatars have boxes around them and that the game chat is on the right side and game info on the left. I don't like how the PMs look in there, and the whole thing just feels OFF to me
Cherry actually this
im too cutthroat and ppl get mad
because my undiagnosed mental illness makes me go absolutely feral anytime someone nominates me or doesnt save me. so for the sake of us all, i avoid it! similar to you not saving me in golden star! FERAL!
brookie you’re insane
my reason prob isnt relevant to anyone else but it just stresses me out having to choose between my friends/people i like in games like that. i also feel like the casts are too small if the casts were bigger and i had more options of ppl to target id probably be more willing to play then too
