New game mode

Hey guys, I would like to discuss an Idea about a new game mode.

Its just fun, but I would like to get some thoughts on the outcome.

So heres the Idea:

Same objective as always (Gens and hooks)

BUT:

both sides have nothing.

No perks, no add ons, killers dont see gen auras, survivors and killers dont see hooked people, survivors dont hear terror radius, Killers and survivors get no notification if a gen pops or the exit gates are powered.

Only things that are there still: exit gates nearly open sound, red stain, survivors screaming when hooked. etc.

So basically your HUD is gone completely. You dont see if someone healed up as both sides etc.

Oh, and NO SCRATCH MARKS!

Blood is still there of course

I would call it BASIC MODE.

And I only would like to see if its killer or survivor sided.

But IMA i think it could go both ways. It would encourage a more stealthy way for survivors.

A last note: This should be a solo modus for survivors.

So what do you think? would it be balanced? would one role dominate the others?

would it be boring because some killers would never find anybody?

Tell me :)

    I think it would be very boring in my opinion. Perks are what allows us to switch up the outcome and make the game more interesting.

    Without scratch marks, I think I'd be afraid to play most killers, including Nurse who relies on scratch marks to find survivors during fatigue. Spirit would also be very difficult when travelling from long distances as her base speed in Haunting is not that special.

    I think saving your teammates could be difficult too. You don't get alerted when a teammate is saved so it could end up with 3 survivors hooked and the person is carrying on with a gen.

    This mode would make Ghostface and Wraith be pretty pointless. Nurse and Legion would have too much trouble with fatigue.

    Survivors could leave a loop and the killer could never know. Blendettes would gain an unreal advantage. Survivors would have far too much of an advantage.

    Many structures would also become useless - no one would go near high structures meant to activate BL, the killer shack could be very troublesome for killers, infinites like Ironworks could be an issue as you may not know where they went. The Game map would be absolute hell, Lery's and Hawkins too.

    Without a HUD, Nurse would have trouble with blink charges, Trapper would have trouble with traps, Hag would have to guess her traps, same with Freddy's pools and pallets - he could be reusing them over and over. As Pig, you can gain a huge advantage by patrolling boxes yet that can be a huge waste of time if they already removed their bear trap. Legion would be affected too, if they activate Frenzy on a healthy survivor but all others are injured, their power would effectively be wasted.

    It would rely on sound a lot too, knowing when perks are back from cooldown, which can be difficult amidst the janky, loud chase music and the SCREAMS of Nurse in fatigue.

    I could see the frustrations of killers becoming so unbelievably high that the queue times would skyrocket and nobody would play this mode. Essentially, you would be seeing Billy's gliding around the map not being able to find anyone, Nurses blinking to infinity and beyond, Spirits popping out on the other side of the map and Demogorgon would be completely lost without scratch marks with his portals.

    A very cool and original idea however, props for that!

    thanks for the comment :) I know it would be MASSIVELY frustratin, i just like the idea of a realistic mode just for the lulz. These kind of gamemodes will never be implemented because they are nieche gamemodes, but i think some people would enjoy it for a little while.
