Miss 2016 dbd

Oh my. Meg's scream was different. A pallet around LT wall. Infinite 4 lanes. Can run 2 exhaustions. It seems much more fun to play as a survivor

    Your idea of fun is invincibility?

    Sure, enjoy your infinites and perk stacks until a killer hits you once and you instantly die from old moris. Lol

    I miss the old map graphics sometimes. Imagine offerings for that.

    I mean if you had any idea what you were doing, it was ACTUALLY impossible to get downed

    30+ pallets being the norm, no entity blockers, no bloodlust. Out of all of these, only entity blockers would be introduced later in the year.

    Not to mention the majority of main building windows were MUCH stronger. Ironworks didnt have a hole in the wall next to its window and outside there was junk in the way, in the front making it possible to loop it from the left and right. Wretched Shop had 3 windows next to each other, and another window on the other side of the main building. Any of the coldwinds were absolutely busted, since the old wall textures could easily be seen through. Not to mention stronger main buildings and Cow Tree being much longer.

    The only killer able to deal with these (of course until Nurse came out) was Trapper. Who took roughly 8 seconds to set down 1 trap which could not only be disarmed faster, but also permanently sabotaged using either a toolbox, or Saboteur.

    Oh but wait, Im not done yet. Perks! Sprint Burst having just a 40 second cooldown (was 20 at one point). "But wait, isnt that what it is now?" Well yes but actually no, it gives 40 seconds Exhaustion. Before it was just a flat 40 second cooldown. Self Care healing you in 24 seconds allowed you to heal mid chase, We'll Make It increasing healing speed by 300% and also applying that to self healing. Paired up with Self Care and you could deny a killer a hook by simply standing underneath it since you still had collision after being hit and you could heal yourself faster than the killer could recover from hitting you

    On top of all the other broken ######### Survivors had, gens only took 60 seconds to complete with gen kicking not being a thing yet

    I could go on about other broken ######### Survivors had, and if youre still not convinced Ill offer you to 1v1, you as killer and me as Survivor on an older build of the game. We'll see how much fun it seems then :)

    Miss 2016 DBD? Gotta be Meg, honestly.

    I miss the gameplay from 2018, but not the balance then. I miss the stealth aspect of the game, back then, you could juke killers, nowadays you mostly hide before they see you.

    Only thing I miss from old DBD are maps and animations.
