Just hear me out. While you are in 1st person, you know how as ghostface in stealth mode you can tell when survivors look at you? why not that and having the sign get more clear the closer they are for survivors? it'll obviously need some tweaking but it would be cool as an option since the way you can sense killers will be similar.

Yes, inclusing the option to have it on.

    It'd be scarier, I'll give you that. But it would also make everything extremely more difficult, also unbalanced. Stealth killers would be unstoppable.

    The base game couldn't support this.

    Killers with a 3rd person POV I could see, but Survivors with 1st person POV just wouldn't work. Stealth Killers would be unstoppable, stealth as a Survivor would be a complete gamble, and mind games at high wall loops would be a nightmare.

    Maybe a different game mode could have 1st person for Survivors, but not the base game.

    I was kind of thinking that. i mean imagine using decisive and it actually looks like from your perspective you used a little sharp object and dug it in their back it would look do cool.

    For now, it'd be healthy to make it as an option. Survivors who have common sense and true skill shouldn't have too much of a problem with it. Spine Chill exists to make stealth plays by killers practically useless, so making survivors use their brain more would be nice. Currently there's no mind games at safe pallets (unless the survivor is a potato and fast vaults the pallet every second, and that isn't a mind game, now is it?) since the pallet with surrounding objects make the survivor unreachable. Even before the pallet is dropped there's practically no mind game since the survivor can always see you with 3rd person point of view. If this were to be implemented as a permanent change however, the game would need some changes of course, plenty of balance tweaks and tons of bug fixes. I'd love to play survivor in a 1st person pov, it'd be more challenging and exciting. But sadly, most survivor mains would cry since they don't like challenges and want the game to be an Ochido simulator (ruin nerf is a clear example, and everyone complaining about the new updates thinking that they're killer sided buffs when they're actually just QOL changes). Killer mains would only support this idea because they'd just want things to be easier, and wouldn't look at the balancing issues. As someone who plays both roles frequently, this idea seems solid. But as stated previously, first it'd need to be optional, forcing it on survivors wouldn't be fair, like forcing new ruin nerf on killers without proper warning. It should be an option at first. Then after some time, the results should be reliable to determine whether or not it should become a permanent change.

    I think it would make it more immersive as survivor

    only if the survivor can activate or deactivate it by himself.

    I would definitely activate it to try it at least once.

    Would just add to the "it's too hard!" complaints, probably. Also, let the devs work on things that deserve more attention, like balancing. Honestly, if the game were better balanced, 1st person survivor probably wouldn't even be necessary.

    It already isn't necessary it would just make it more immersive to be a survivor. which dbd is lacking a lot. holding M1 for 80 secs is not a very immersive experience.
