    That sounds like an awful idea. I keep comms muted in every game I play, and would certainly do the same if it was implemented into dbd

    The community is annoying enough, I don't want to have to hear them whining in game too.

    No thank you lol I dont want some entitled survivor thinking they can tell me how to play. They boss killers around enough, it would end uo leading to me leaving them on the hook to die because they are telling me how to play lol then I would get them talking crap 😂 I would just mute everyone if they did add coms

    Honestly, I don't have a good justification for it. Just giving solo Survivors comms would help a lot in paving the way for actually balancing the game. Make it opt-in for people who don't want to deal with it, and add some in-game pre-written messages similar to Identity V so those who don't opt in still have a way to communicate to some degree.

    Why don’t solos have voice comms:

    1) Because on all platforms you have to ability to voice chat through another system.

    1.5) While BHVR can’t rip SWF out, the game was never intended to have voice chat in any capacity. Unless the core of the game changes, this won’t happen.

    2.) As much as people say solo survivor is super weak, I think people are forgetting that survivor gameplay is practically hand holding at this point. At this point if you’re having a hard time pipping as survivor you legit need to have someone analyze your gameplay cause I can literally black pip by camping every pallet I encounter and recognizing at least one strong structure to dry hump and the killer will ignore me, resulting in at least two gens getting done.

    3) [big shock incoming] most people aren’t exactly very pleasant to talk to in this game. If my DM’s are any indication of survivor entitlement I don’t wanna hear it all game. Not to mention people who play music, have screaming kids, are screaming kids themselves, and just draining.


    4) If all survivors had free voice chat (wether it was auto opt out or not) this makes a large handful of really fun and useful perks blatantly useless for both sides.
