Best Of

For those of you unaware, a few years ago, BHVR took over Red Hook Studios, the company responsible for the creation of the Darkest Dungeon games.

Despite this, there hasn't been any sort of collaboration between the two titles, despite one being extremely fitting.

Hoping this post might bring some more attention to this possibility, and show that there is (at least a little bit of) a demand for it.

survivor lately has been no fun at all. You get tunnelers right off the rip at 5 gens - you get slugged for the 4k (still in 2025) killers complained about the anti tunnel update and now the tunneling is even worse now. Myers can tier up in no time- leading to instant downs and giving us nothing to work with. Survivors aren’t having fun and many are leaving the game. What happened to actually listening to your player base? Look at dbd players on stream charts- close to 9k have left the game. Idk about you all but as a company you want to keep as many clients/players as you can. But seems like killers only get the upper hand which they should to a certain extent. If you don’t want to update the game can we just get rid of these toxic players tunneling on purpose for no reason? Slugging for the 4k? Maybe you need to bring back hatch opening when there are two left. We really need some QOL changes on the survivor side. Takes more survivors to start a match than it does killers. Queue times right now are horrendous as well…..

I don’t think encouraging actual crimes is a good idea.

couldnt agree more. do survivors care if im a killer not having fun being looped all match? hell no. do survivors care if im killer not having fun being blinded or hit with a pallet? nope. do survivors care if im killer and im not having fun while they all tbag at the gate? it doesnt seem like it.

if a survivor could and some can….loop a killer for 5 gens they dont care if the killer is not having fun, they dont think "ok let them down me because this cant be fun for them". Yet they expect a killer to think "ok the survivor isnt having fun being tunneled all match, so let them go".

ye survivor isnt that bad. the main issue with soloq survivor are the survivors themselves. as a soloq player its way more common to encounter a toxic team mate that throws the match or somone that goes next or DC's or afk from the start. And thats before we get into the personal challenges people might have like cleanse 5 totems so they refuse to touch gens or the people that only join the match to get chased and refuse to touch gens.

as soloq survivor these are the main issues not op killers or slugging or tunneling or camping. If anyone has any idea how to force players to actually play the game and do gens i would love to hear it but you cant make people do gens and play out a match that they dont want to do.

The player count is fine and survivor role is fine too. I play solo queue and have no trouble escaping fairly regularly. The survivors I play against as killer seem to be doing fine too. I have to work pretty hard to have chance to win in most of my killer matches.

The player count always goes down in the months after new chapter releases, and there hasn’t been any new major content recently. So the player count means nothing. Where is your data to show that survivors are leaving the game? My evening time survivors queues have been getting longer and longer recently, so that would indicate an increasing deficit of killer players, not survivor players. I’d honestly be fine if some survivor players left because with the queue times right now if I don’t want to wait a long time to play, I have to choose the killer role every time.

Tunneling is unfun for survivors but sometimes its necessary

yea survivor mains (the entitled ones) are always quick to express what the killers do that isnt fun for survivors but have no problem doing things that arent fun for killers and when confronted about it they say to git gud or say its part of their objective.

Exactly! The survivors fun isnt the killer's job and vice versa.

I dont ever expect survivor to play in such a way thats fun for me. They play how they want, just as I play Killer how I want.

People need to just stop telling the other side how to play
