    I miss old MacMillan and Autohaven! Literally brings me back to those days when I was a baby player.

    Ideally I'd bring back most of these, but if I had to chose, I want the og Dream Demon.

    Updated graphics are well and good, but throwing out the color identify for the core stages just trashes so much of the game's original, spooky atmosphere. These don't need to look like Call of Duty maps. They should be weird, twisted, ethereal nightmare realms.

    This was such a close tie with old events and old map looks/layouts.

    I gave it to the old maps solely because it would affect the game more.

    Everything you've said, to be honest. But, among the treasures of the past, one of them easily takes priority:

    "Death won't accept him and thus he remains, a calamity, indisputable master of his victims' nightmares.

    Dream Demon allows The Nightmare to pull Survivors into the Dream World."

    • Survivors who are awake do not see or hear The Nightmare.
    • Once targeted by The Nightmare's Power, Survivors enter the Dream Transition for 7 seconds.
    • During the Dream Transition they can see The Nightmare intermittently.
    • When the Dream Transition has elapsed, the Survivor is pulled into the Dream World.

    Once in the Dream World:

    • Survivors' Auras are revealed to The Nightmare whenever they are outside of his Terror Radius.
    • Survivors suffer an Action speed penalty of -50 %.
    • To exit the Dream World, Survivors can find other non-sleeping Survivors to perform a Wake-up action.
    • Failed Skill Checks can wake up the Survivor.
    • Getting hooked wakes up the Survivor.

    Old Freddy was although not that strong he was really unique, which has been seen lacking ever since Trickster. But Freddy would have been really perfect if instead of a full on rework, they could have instead tweaked his power to be even stronger, but instead of that we all ended up getting an although strong killer, he just wasn't unique and became pretty boring.

    Old Hillbilly was fun incarnated in this game, why the changes, WHY?!

    Besides killer powers and all that I really miss the old maps, they were this game's nostalgia at it's finest.

    And even though I didn't know the events that took place in Dead By Daylight before May 26th, 2020, I did watch some gameplay and read some of the gameplay back then, and they actually seemed pretty fun.

    I just overall miss everything at this point.

    Holy ######### the power you made is a good change for freddy tbh But I have a change, Instead of having the "miss skill checks to wake up" game I think alarm clocks would have their aura revealed & be interactable after being in the dream world for a while like 1 or 2 minutes

    And honestly Everything in the past (The Good stuff) needs to be back

    Thank you, my friend, but this is not my concept. What I posted here is actually his power on-release. My idea has one or two small differences.

    Jump Rope:

    Tremendously decreases Survivors' Action speed when in the Dream World.


    Blue Dress:

    Moderately decreases Skill Check chances in the Dream World.

    Moderately decreases Dream Projection cool-down for each sleeping Survivor.

    I had to keep you awake long enough so when you finally slept… you would never wake up again” -Freddy Krueger


    Pill Bottle:

    Survivors do not see The Nightmare during the Dream Transition.


    Paint Thinner:

    Tremendously increases Movement speed after successfully pulling a Survivor into the Dream Transition.


    Class Photo:

    While I love the Realm Beyond updated maps graphically, there is sometbinh atmospheric missing in the updated maps (which is not the colored hue); maybe it’s the fog or something else.

    i don’t want the old maps back, but that feeling of the old maps in the new maps. If that makes sense..

    Beautiful and unique treasures of the past, which allowed Players to try out the Killers of paid DLCs they did not own for one Trial.

    For example:

    If you don't agree with me, why do you insist on calling me out every single time I voice my opinion?

    I never did that to you, I respected your wish to not press that one discussion any further, and yet you maintain this less than desirable habit.

    It is okay that you don't like Old Freddy, but that doesn't matter to me. I want my old main back, and so does the majority of the community. I will keep voicing my opinion, whether you like it or not.

    So please, stop doing that.

    Clothing Packs, they were a great bundle of great cosmetics that I enjoyed using

    With not many to talk about, my personal favorites were The Charity Case (for being for Charity and giving us in-game merch of Content Creators we like) and The Headcase (gave us Ace's Panama Hat, Nea's Hilariously bad Melonade head, Jake's Beanie and Bun, Dwight with Cool Glasses and then a Great Flatcap I still use, Meg and Claudette, overall nice package of heads if one of these survivors were your main for $3.99).


    I think they should come back for charity cases, with this time not being around content creators but fast reskins that still look good and you would purchase just because they look cool (while also giving to charity to make you feel better, even though you got it for a self-centered reason).

    (an example of a possible Claudette Fire Rooster recolor that completely changes the cosmetic into the charity [this example, it's for an environmental charity for trees] that can be used for the charity pack) (pretend this looks good)

    I completely agree. 2016-2017 looks were, by far, the best we've ever had.
