2 killers versus 8 survivors
This is just a wishlist mode for the developers and I even had some bare bone thoughts, it’s not like this will even be implemented so I hope everyone will give the idea a chance at least.
i personally believe that a 2v8 mode will bring much fresh air to the game and I even had some thoughts on how the mechanics could play out or even just some ideas to brainstorm here with everyone. 2v8 would be a good excuse to raise the BP cap to 50k for survivors and 60k for killers to combat the tedious grind, without a BP rework the BP grind is just going to get worse with added bloated perks let alone in TIERS ( lol )
when thinking about the the foundation of a 2v8 and trying to balance it I thought back to a MMORPG of WoTLK expansion for WoW in one of the raids called Naxxramas that had up to 25 people join together.
In one of the boss fights the layout of the boss room is in rectangles similar to the map sizes and the room was split in middle with a gate throughout the fight splitting the raid team into 2 different groups to work on objectives ( this aspect right here if implemented right would do wonders for dbd especially in a new game mode and bring a new meaning to working together)
in my version/thoughts of a 2v8 the killers would be split into the 2 separated map ( it would justify making bigger maps or maybe making combinations adding flavor/lore to the entity) with a GATE in the middle as a MID to LATE game objective for survivors ( would solve everyone being bored of just gen simulator repair and dull totem cleansing)
the survivors would have built in VC channel that has a option to leave/mute like over watch and the channels are specific to ONLY each side of the gate until the gate is UNLOCKED.
as far as gameplay goes I was thinking keeping the generators except instead of powering the gate it powers a mysterious entity device/box/whatever that RNG like the hatch on either side of the gated map. The box/key would work like the pig boxes ( yay reusing already implemented game mechanics!) and once the survivor had a key then the gates can be powered on triggering the end game collapse. There would still be 2 gates but only 1 gate on each side of the split map ( this will get rid of the cancerous doors spawning next to each other on the same wall or it spawns just barely on the other side of the wall!!!)
maybe for this mode if there is only 1 survivor left the hatch only spawns with 2-1 gen left to further add to the urgency to be a good team player instead of just handing the hatch to anyone that makes it as the last one standing ( that is aggravating, you gave a free handout to afkers/sandbaggers that don’t want to contribute to the team)
make the timer 1 minute for each survivor to choose their loadout, maybe no stacking perks together killers/survivors once a survivor has chosen a perk it is greyed out for the next person or maybe a perkless/addonless mode?
killers and survivors can choose at loadout menu a possible ban system up to ONLY 3 perk bans for that match ONLY and a map ban system only banning 2 maps 1 for survivors to choose and 1 for the killers.
why I feel like with some tweaking and editing my rough draft would be a wonderful addition to the game is PERSONALLY for myself I would be way happier taking the L knowing I had a decent timed match even though I died but I would be more of a team player rooting for my team, when you’re placed into a 1v4 game mode with a ranking system it BREEDS resentment when other players make mistakes ( especially in a game that is not good at teaching new players) and it makes me have the “ everyone for themselves and their BP’s”
BBQ and WGLF was a good step in the right direction but it also feeds into this negative system. A new game mode with possibly no ranking might help take the edge off of the ranking discussion/debate because some players play more casually while some take the ranking more seriously just because of its base design.
let me know what everyone thinks and sorry there is no TL;DR this is just for any BVHR employee that likes reading wishlists and why I would like it.

It won't happen until Dedicated Servers go live and even then.. there's a pretty low chance that the developers would like to make the game more exciting and/or fun with new gamemodes.
I'd love to play a 2v8 mode though.
