The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Does anyone else agree we need new content that isn't just new killers?

I feel like we haven't really seen any new content that really changes up the game and makes it feel refreshing. It's just new killer after new killer after new killer, and a lot of them are quite poorly designed in my opinion (Twins) or just straight up boring to play against (Trickster).

I know each killer has a different power and everything but it's starting to feel like new killers are just 'skins' as the gameplay is pretty much just all the same at the end of the day.

We need something like a 2v8 mode as many people have suggested. I don't expect it to be balanced very well but at least it will be something different to the main game.

    I am okey with new killers. Maybe all of them are not bringing new mechanics but they are still fun. I mean Nemesis was another anti-loop killer but i loved him so much. Sadako is different version of Wraith but i also loved her too.


    If they won't balance game poorly, new content is alright.


    2 v 8 probably will never happen.

    2v8 has been explored in other games, including a BHVR title where it was 2v10. I don't think it's out of possibility, just not a focus at this current time. Keep in mind, they want to make money, and I'm not saying that in the money hungry way. I simply mean, they're a company, they have to make money. There isn't much profit on something that wouldn't have a currency lock on it, and a game mode being locked by currency would probably split the player base, so that wouldn't work.

    What I'd love to see is an improvement to the generator mechanics that require survivors to do more than just sit and hold M1. I remember making a mockup of a new Generator system that required doing (amongus) wires, filling a gas canister then returning with fuel, even doing welding to keep the killer from destroying your progress.

    2v8 would be fun. But there's not really much you can add other than new killers/maps

    More maps. Slap a new map on every original realm. Especially ones with only 1 map.

    I feel like the main thing that would breathe a little bit more life into the game is if some maps in realms had different variations in the time of day and the weather such as rain or snow for example.

    I feel more offerings would be cool too - although I'd like to see the map offering bloat in bloodwebs removed and instead map offerings take up a special randomized box like the mystery box where there's less on the bloodweb but it gives you a random map offering so that way the new offerings BHVR added to the game a bit ago like the Sacrificial Ward can appear more since it's the same rarity.

    I like the 2 vs 8 idea. Or even 1 vs 8 with slower gens. Having only 4 survivors with 1 killer is why survivor is the power role in this game.

    I know it flopped, but Friday 13th had the right idea in that regard.

    They announced in this anniversary chat custom matches with bots in the anniversary as well as an overhaul involving some basic gameplay and 40-50 perks are coming this year.

    I think 1v8 would only work if the killer was able to bring more perks and required less hooks per survivor.

    We're going to get a massive change to the perks and base mechanics of the game in the near future, and we're also getting a new map.

    Nah, they first need to fix their game properly. Another mode on this broken gameplay is makes no sense.

    Clearly the wrong time to post this when they just claimed they are shaking up the meta with 40 perk changes and frigging base game changes. Also today i learned that playing against the nurse, twins, huntress, cannibal and trapper is basically the same thing. Boooo i say op, booo.
