Here is my suggestion in great part thanks to @Condorloco_26 cause our settings could always be better.

1. Streamer Mode: Hides names of people playing against and own name. Helps streamer not get sniped easier and also lets players enjoy no toxicity from fans towards other players on there behalf.

2.Convert Voice Chat: You let voice chat turn to text. Then those with deaf or with hearing problems can still connect to other players as well online.

3. Color Blind Mode: Lets those who see visually different enjoy the experience the same as everyone in game.

4. Sound Tracking Enviroment: This hard to impliment cause not a small setting but making enviroments reactive. There is perks than can help track but in brief small windows. The audio will never alone guide you away from killer or towards a survivor. I think it be neat if everything in maps had even small noises. This way a person completely blind can navigate the game with maybe even more ease and comfort then rest of us.


If you could put in a setting. Which one would you enjoy? Also is there anyone more ways to make things accessible beyond my initial thoughts? Also kinda happy xbox made the adaptive controller cause opens up more gaming. Wonder if any of those controllers have been used on dbd.

    I enjoy most of these options the only problem I have is #1 hiding streamers names the problem I have with this is there is/are certain content creator(s) who may be banned and could use this as a way to make an account without being banned.

    @KillermainBTWm8 They're using the interface for Apex Legends as an example. Now, the one thing I do like about the Streamer mode in Apex Legends is that it also allows you to automatically hide the names of your teammates and opponents to not appear.

    That, for me, is a huge thing that every game needs to have. Right now, I will just lobby dodge in DbD if I get into a lobby with someone with a TTV name, or without TTV but I know for a fact that they're a streamer. I don't want my name broadcast out there, and given the nature of some Streamers' communities, I'm not opening myself up to attacks on Steam or other places simply because their Streamer-god got outplayed.

    @Kilmeran I agree with that part of the streamer mode just wanted to point out a way it could be abused, getting hunted down is a thing that happens a ton and needs to stop I had a run in with a streamer on another game once and he accused me of hacking almost got banned because of their fanbase that was sent after me to report me.

    @KillermainBTWm8 Yep, I've heard similar stories from multiple DbD players that had the misfortune of getting into a match with the wrong DbD streamers.

    Like with Overwatch, there are just too many toxic streamers in this community. Now, in a game like Realm Royale with streamers like IdiotMouse, Gentle_Giant. Aero_TV, Krippler, and the like, I have no issue playing with the streamers. It's a shame that game is so damned small, because its community is amazing. It really shows you how toxic the DbD community truly is. Shame.

    I agree they should impliment something, but the devs have said streamsniping IS NOT bannable, so I doubt theyll do much for it.

    There's definitely a lot of room for improvement in all those areas, some of those requests have been in the wishlist for a very long time now.

    I just hope something gets done in the near future.

    Agreed feel like we as gamers should be happy when everyone can enjoy in on the experience. I may be a sony fan this generation but damn do i respect xbox for thinking about who else can be gamers. We are developing as humans to more adaptable technology. I just want something small added even if its small. I feel like without options have less people to connect to. Could meet more people whose company enjoy if all games had accessible features.

    Glad you brought up color blindness in that one topic cause is amazing feature that really wouldn't take alot of work compared to rest. Warmed my heart to see one game care about this but don't even know if its only one. Probally not but its not common trend like it should be.

    Streamsniping is not bannable but making it less accessible would be nice. Your name not showcased to killer letting them know streamer but not which one. People names beside stuff makes getting it much easier. Just giving the stream sniper extra steps instead of just easy one.

    It just be easier to sift through stream bullshit if there using it then turn it off to send there army. Then they can't follow excuse i did nothing they acted on own. Which is an excuse be harder to hide behind cause of option to censor all names out. Some asses can litterally send people from fandom against them and then act like they didn't do anything.

    See if oprah said kill anyone in this world betting 90% that person wouldn't make it out alive tommorow. Fans scare me like celebrities that are worshipped by them. Britney spears could break my neck and people could wonder was i major threat that needed that.

    Sorry some ######### used there fans to mass report you.
