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

Can we *please* finally have an option to disable voice lines for our own game?

I've asked for this feature since Pinhead- Trickster doesn't speak that much and so it's really a non-issue with him- but the voice lines get very old and very repetitively very quickly. Three games? Fine. Ten games? Kinda annoying. Thirty five games in a row?

Good god they're boring.

So- with the implementation of more characters with voice lines (we now have Trickster, Pinhead, and Wesker), and the probability of more of these along the way (Ghost Face seems like one to get some, and I doubt you'll leave Freddy silent when you inevitably rework his power again), can we please, finally get an option to disable the voice lines for our client and our client only?

    Yes voice lines and if possible the sounds killers make when you're waiting in queue it's annoying, we can only disable menu music not the weird noises

    Bumping this to support it as well. Nothing makes a bad game worse then wesker tauting you with voice lines that you can turn off. May as well turn on the mic so other players can taunt over mic as well.

    I can understand the current hate, since we're clearly gonna have a ton of weskers rn.

    But other than that I think it's such a welcomed addition, and with time and the diversity of killers we will have, it wouldn't be as repetitive.

    Now, if nearly every next killer talks as much then yeah, please.

    They'll never do this as the voice lines are part of the dlc people purchase. They're a selling point and if you can turn them off it diminishes the value of them.

    I agree that Wesker's lines are excessive. Not even Pinhead talks that much. In the lobby a little quip is fine, but over and over with every action the killer takes? Please let us turn it off.

    I can agree with more options for controlling the audio/visuals in the lobby. Some of the ambient noises and repetitive voice lines get annoying. I imagine spending bloodpoints on Sadako is such a joy with her giving you the creepy eye every thirty seconds.

    In game though, they have to stay. Being able to remove them would make it easier to hear that creeping Jake with his Iron Will nerfed.

    knew this was a karu thread,haha.

    if previously I didn't really agree,with them adding voicelines to every ######### character now making the game...just a weird annoying clusterf*ck for no reason they should give us the option to remove it.

    You'd still have access to those lines. That's why it's a client-sided only option, so every other player would still hear them even if you as the killer switched them off.

    Also, one of the major reasons I don't play Pinhead is because of him yapping. I'd find it a lot more fun to play him if he'd just shut up for 3 seconds honestly.

    There's an option to change the size of the HUD which allows players to see more because there's less HUD taking up the screen, which is especially important given the fact the new HUD is still larger than the old one ever was at default. Yet nobody complained that killers could suddenly see more.

    If every player has the ability to do so, then it's hardly an issue because everybody can do it. Alternatively, don't just turn down all other audio by 11 whenever a voice line plays, BHVR.

    They won't disable them for every player in the game, no. But a client-sided option that allows all other players to still hear them doesn't impact this whatsoever.

    If the voice lines are inticing you to buy the DLC, you won't switch them off.

    Yeah, it does. People like to show off their shinies and annoying people like you with their Wesker lines is part of the package they purchased.

    It's like folks wanting the option to turn off cosmetics in Dota, LoL and Overwatch. It's a lot of visual clutter and the game would look cleaner if clients could turn it off. Yet they will never ever do that, because showing off what they bought is what keeps people buying that garish trash.

    I can understand people wanting to mute characters.

    I for myself wanted to mute Ash many times. I'm just glad that you don't get "Look who's shitting in the tall grass" everytime an Ash joins the lobby.

    But I really like all the Wesker taunts.

    Oh I forgot Ash spoke, nobody plays him.

    At least it isn't in-game
