Myers "stalking music" return when?
When did they get rid of this? This is a sound that would play when Michael is stalking you for a prolonged amount of time. Why has this not been put back in the game? I mean you payed to use this music so use all of it that you can. That is really creepy. I never even got to experience that as I didn't play DBD when Michael was first introduced. Bring back that stalking tune damnit.

It was removed a couple of patches after Myers was released, in the early days.
But yes, they should absolutely bring it back. It is awesome, not to mention an excellent contribution to the horror atmosphere. Can you imagine that on Lights Out? It would have been amazing.
And please let me access that map on the video. I hate reworked Autohaven so much.

I love this sound design as well, but I think it was generally agreed upon it gave survivors too much info.
Michael has a smaller or non-existent terror radius in T1/T2, in order to allow him to approach without being noticed and stalk survivors before they can hide out of view to get to use his power. Having a loud audio cue kind of defeats the purpose. Especially with certain add-ons, it's really beneficial if survivors don't know if they've been stalked yet.

Only if it's Myers only who can hear it when it plays, otherwise it'll just be a nerf to him.

I never experienced it because I started to play in 2018, but I'm glad it doesn't exist now. It add to the horror atmosphere and it is cool, but the trade off is nerfing Myers which is already a weak killer, not a good deal imo.

Good idea… Let's just get it back in the game in any form. I wish a dev could shine some light on why it was removed to begin with… Even if only the Killer can hear it, I feel it deserves to come back.

Oh my gosh please bring this back in some form. That's one of my favorite music themes from the original movie. Its so eerie. I distinctly remember it playing at the infamous Myers in the bush moment

Myers is already set for a change, it would hardly be an issue.

Ah, tier up imminent. Would be a nice thematic addition and wouldnt have that much of an effect on balance since Survivors have lots of info on the killer nowadays, and this would barely make a difference. If anything it would help deal with tombstone which I dont think anyone would argue against that.
While were talking about thematic changes.. can we please have the following come back?
Doctor Madness Effects (Make a photo sensitive option)
Spirit Shatter Blade (Was only on the PTB)
Huntress' Lullaby being replaced by heavy breathing while in chase, (helped synergize with stealth perks back in the day)
Ghost Face Shrouded SFX
Pyramid Head PTB Chase Music
Myers, Doctor, Demo, Oni POV Chase Music
Trickster PTB menu theme
(pretty pls BHVR?)

Listening to that just unlocked a long forgotten memory of mine from DBD Year One.
Good times.

I don't remember 100% the reason why but iirc, the reason it was removed back then was because it alerted Survivors to Myers presence whenever he tried to stalk, which would cause them to run away immediately and thus making it harder for Myers to generally stalk, especially during Tier 1.

this is so good and I get goosebumps when I hear that (thank you for that short clip). Michael needs a complete overhaul, and not just of his abilities, perks and add-ons, but also a model overhaul with additional masks and such. I know this is a license thing, but I think it's about time. This killer is so old now and I think Mysers made Dead by Daylight what it is today. He deserves a lot more love.

Doctor Madness Effects
This one is a MUST.

Huntress losing her lullaby when in chase actually makes her synergize with Beast of Prey hahah.
0 -
It wouldnt of synergized back then tho since Beast of Prey only got rid of your red stain :)
But yeah it would actually make sense on her if they brought it back

Bring it back if Myers has been stalking a survivor for an extended period of time at a distance but as a tradeoff give him a bonus for doing so.
I would love for it to make a return in any capacity though - Great tune.

That would be a nerf to one of the weakest killers though (if we ignore the tombstone piece)

And Unlimited T3. And Mirrors on indoor.

Wouldnt say that ascends him as much as tombstone piece. As in tournaments he only gets played with unlimited tier 3 on Hawkins with heavy perk and item restrictions for survivor and he still gets outed

Or make it to where that's the sound que for him leaving tier 1, I definitely don't want to nerf Myers but this sound needs to be brought back, you could even make it like a small buff where when he leaves tier one this sound plays to all and he stays undetectable until it's over but during that short time he has his tier 2 benefits and it leaves survivors wondering if he's right there on the other side of the wall or not

It would still be a nerf to Myers in the end.
Regardless of how you do it, if you give Survivors a sound cue that alerts them to the killer's presence, they will check their surroundings and quickly run away as soon as they see you looking at them since it's not hard to spot Myers in the distance, it doesn't matter if you make it into something that all Survivors can hear regardless if you're actually nearby or not, the outcome will be the same no matter what.
It has to be audible only to Myers no matter what, it is the only way you can bring it back in anyway without turning it into a nerf in the process.

But there's already a sound there for the tier up so how would it be a nerf? That other music would be way cooler for a tier up and then leave the tier three que the way it is, I think you're misunderstanding what I mean , I don't mean stalk music I mean use this music as the sound when he hits tier two instead of the sound that's already there
0 -
Yes, i misunderstood you, i thought you meant have the stinger play for all Survivors to hear whenever Myers is stalking a Survivor.
However, i'm still gonna disagree with the idea using the stinger over what we currently have as the current tier up sound is perfectly fitting enough as it is and doesn't need to be replaced but something that feels less fitting for when leveling up a tier.
Again, just use the stinger for when Myers is stalking Survivors and have it be audible only to him, that's all they really need to do, anything else is completely needless.

It's definitely wonderful, I hope they have a use for it somewhere such as a custom TR.
