I’m going to keep it short and simple.

1.Adding more characters.Along side with new skins

  • Joyce Byers.
  • Will Byers.
  • Jim hopper
  • Max Mayfield.
  • Lucas Sinclair
  • Papa
  • Karen Wheeler

2.Updating world breaker to where when it takes place the visual it is from like season4 where the sky was red,lightning,demo bats and maybe screeching from demo bats and gorgons,world breaker could also have Vine on surfaces,walls,trees etc,and when causing a token upon a survivor the mind flayer could appear for a brief moment while in a upside down atmosphere.

3.Add an outside map of Hawkins.

These are just suggestions.if it is deciding it could be put into section/chapters.

    still baffled that the Mind Flayer isn’t present in the sky during worldbreaker mode. seems like the most obvious way to implement the Mind Flayer into dbd but they somehow fumbled that one😕.

    If we couldn't even get a new skin for Steve, Demo, and a proper Nancy skin (I love Robin but yk what I mean), I doubt Netflix is gonna be that much more generous that what we already have.

    As a P100 Steve, my first true surv main, not having his War outfit, his brown Wrangler jacket, his shirtless look, etc etc etc, it is all so exhausting. Also his face needs a fresh coat of paint and don't get me started on Jonathan.

    Gonna have to wait until bhvr do a Stranger Things theme'd 2v8 most likely, they did after all mention during a livestream that there are almost enough Survivor characters to make a full Stranger Things 2v8.

    Yeah that would be cool. It's a real shame that The First would be so difficult to add to 2v8.

    Having him and a demo running around chasing a full team of ST survivors would be such a vibe.

    Ngl not particularly. Will and mike are pretty uninteresting characters.

    I'd rather see hopper and joyce added or maybe lucas and max.

    I don't agree on it being so difficult to bring in ST Vecna, while some interactable items are harder to implement than others, they are ultimately not anything near impossible to actually include.

    Vecna's Grandfather clocks gets used very quickly by Survivors in 1v4 anyway, it wouldn't make the biggest difference in 2v8. So if anything, it would actually be relatively easy to add him.

    probably an idea declined by Netflix, or they weren't interested in adjusting the Worldbreaker filter to only have the mind flayer on original maps due to possible conflicts with other licence holders (New Line might not want it on Badham if it isn't an actual function of the power and instead merely aesthetic), still a shame though

    Except there wouldn't really be any conflict with any other license holders, when it's for original maps & Hawkin's Lab only.

    If anything, it feels more like a creative choice on bhvr's part to not include the Mind Flayer.

  • HoodedWildKard

    I think it's more about how much they can put in the map. Currently the only killers that add interactable objects to the map are nemesis and wesker, and they had to almagamate them if they're both in a trial. If you have henry and wesker or nemi in the same trial you need 2 sets of static item spawns, plus the extra chests and the tonics.

    Also I think henry's base kit would be very difficult to balance for 2v8. Double the number of survs causes big issues when it come to adding tokens on individual survivors, like 4 tokens per person would be hard to reach for his mini mori with so many survs to deal with. Does it get dropped to 3? They'd need to look at worldbreaker itself too, 2 hits would be much easier to manage with so many survivors knocking about so he'd be almost constantly in worldbreaker mode.

    Don't get me wrong, i really want to see him in 2v8. But i recognise he'd be a difficult killer to add and balance.

    yes that's what I'm saying, they would have to go and change it to only do show it on original maps which would require a lot more effort to go back and edit, while not breaking it so it somehow appears outside of Worldbreaker. It's that effort that is the issue, probably why if it was their decision that they didn't go through with it.

    It would be a lot more difficult than with Dracula's castle which is a static model in each map it can spawn - for the mind flayer they would have to go and make a custom skybox that displays during Worldbreaker for each map to position it somewhere noticable and worth the time adding it, which they might not see as a good way to spend resources.

    Yeah I agree it would be tricky to add him, as much as I'd like it. He has a lot going on. I often use the survivor who's worst at dodging me to farm stacks to be almost constantly in World Breaker. Matchmaking being nonexistent is 2v8 would make that very easy to do, and with so many of them running about, it'd be near permanent.

    I also feel like World Breaker going on and off would be annoying as hell for the other killer. It's satisfying to me as Henry but if I was just trying to play Wraith I feel like it would aggravate me.

    I would like the game to remain Dead by Daylight and not Dead by Stranger Things.

    This is the issue with licensed content: the people that play the game only because of their beloved franchises wish to pump as much of said franchise into the game as humanly possible. Resident Evil fans, Stranger Things fans, now we have Alien fans. No appreciation for the game or what the game's gameplay loop is trying to do.

    And to the people that consider dbd the "Fortnite of horror," keep in mind that Fortnite got Jason before dbd did. Keep in mind Myers was not "permanently removed" from the Fortnite shop rotation. If dbd really was the "Fortnite of horror" to justify the constant collab and pollution of licensed content approach, studios would be flocking to dbd for a free cash grab, not going to the actual Fortnite game nor removing content to make their own asymmetrical game.
