Dead By Daylight 2 Should Come Out
I'm fairly new to the game, so many can brush this aside. What I have noticed good about this game. This game is active with new killer's coming out and each have interesting ways to kill you. Survivors have one solid meta: DS, Adrenaline, Self-Care, Iron Will or Balanced Landing.
There have been some good discussions about the issue with NOED, Keys, Ruin, and Insta-Heals.
Why I think a new game needs to come out:
Gives opportunity to the devs to start clean. I might not have much experience making a PC Game. I have only made one, but one thing I learned from that experience is the coding could have been better. My hope is that devs realize this and it's an opportunity to stick with what worked and what didn't (everyone dislikes certain nerf or whatever).
- In the new game, nerfs shouldn't be so drastic. The nerfs in this game can be extreme which sometimes warrants a whole new playing experience ( a new game). Do you Devs even test out the changes? Sorry to say that, but it feels like the changes goes through a small group of testers and they just say it's good so they can go back to playing other games.
- Take ranking out of this game if it is meant to be casual. When I first bought this game it was fun. Despite getting hooked or being pallet looped. The queues were not that long either. Nowadays, as killer I see an hour long queue. Survivor queues are increasing. Regardless of rank this is happening. Or introduce casual quick match.
- The penalty should fit the crime. I played a different game where you got reported for leaving a game you would get stuck with other leavers. Based on the number of offenses the player could get stuck with an entire team known for DC'ing during a match. This would be something neat in your new game.
- Add some fun modes: Catch the killer (Scooby-Doo style).
- With a new game, you can take away the useless perks or totally revamp them to be useful.
End of my rant.
TL;DR Make a new game. Build upon the good things you made. Take away rank, add quick match, penalties should fit the crime, and add fun modes.

Self care is meta? LOOOOOL

Or they could add all those suggestions to the current Dead by Daylight and not make people pay for every dlc again. Plus, with a second DbD, the community split would be even bigger.

While i love the fact that dbd is 3 years old, i do think there are problems with gameplay that may not be able to be fixed with numbers and patches.
A growing number (majority?) Of survivors hate generators. Killers hate gen speeds. Cant fix one side without pissing off the other. Adding a secondary obhective creates all sorts of balancing issues that would require a rework of most of the game.
Now is it all bad? Nope. But trully fixing this game would absolutely require a full redesign. In terms of workload, starting from scratch may be easier.
And if you make the base game free. Charging for cosmetics and dlc and battlepasses, they would make their money back. Especially if they improved on the systems that make this game enjoyable and reworked the rest.

Game modes before new games altogether.
Times aren't how they were before. Games tend to be continuous rather than "here's the next installment" Dbd is in my opinion a great fit for that continuous hub of horror characters.

Actually, they have admitted they built a rubber-band powered plane and are now trying to put jet plane parts on the game.
I sometimes think we'd be better off wiping the slate and starting clean. However, it can wait a couple more years.

Let's get real. I don't think they will do that. There's still a lot of money that can me made with this game; dlc's, skins, rifts. They will make a new game when people stop playing and paying for those. When do you think that will happen?
1 -
They already said in many interviews, that there won't be a Dbd 2 in the next coming years.
2 -
I would rather they just rebuild the game from the ground up and then transfer save data.
New graphics, new engine. Same content, but rework the code so it's much easier to add new things to it. And isn't, well, made of spaghetti code. (The game's coding is, I think, a internal issue that makes updates very hard and if this was fixed the game would become much healthier overall.)
I don't mind going completely devoid of content for a few years if it meant getting a MUCH more modern and powerful DBD that is easy to update.

Overwatch 2 would like to have a word with you. >.>

Overwatch 2 seems to me a way of keeping itself relevant with it being new once again.

Srsly not a bad idea, they can make their own engine for DBD 2 then and that would fix ALOT of issues.

I think if they’d just add a relay switch to power the gates once all the generators were done that required a small minigame like connecting wires or replacing fuses it would fix a lot of the balancing issues and it would give survivors something to do besides hold m1 on generators.

I have to agree. Starting with a clean and new, based with the experience Devs made over the years, would be quite interesting. You could adress quite a few issues, that are basicly unfixable with the current game.
But on the other hand, we are in the gaas era, and DbD is one. Starting new just doesn't make sense yet. We might see DbD 2 one day. But we aren't there yet.
What I think is much more likely is, that BHVR might decide to do some spinoff game based on DbD gameworld and Lore. Maybe a PvE-focused-coop multiplayer title or something completely else?

But then NOED would become even more clutch...
Maybe a second objective that has to be done besides generators would be better.
1 -
But that IS a second objective. And NOED really isn’t that big of a deal

No.
Too many hours invested here, cant be going through that again!
