We need something new to freshen the game up.

Right now the game is feeling very repetitive and boring - it's the same thing every game, repair generators, loop the killer, potentially escape. Down survivors, hook survivors, sacrifice the survivors.

Playing Survivor, especially solo is getting boring because of bad teammates, and I also seem to be going against a Mori/NOED/something really strong like Iri Heads like one in every 4-5 games now.

Playing Killer is getting boring because of going against consistently strong teams, 3-4 man SWFs, and I also seem to be going against toxic survivors more often now.

We need a new gamemode or something to freshen it up. Even new chapters aren't exciting to me anymore because the killer always turns out mediocre at best and we usually get meme perks or perks that have potential but then get nerfed (Gearhead).

Anyone else also feeling this way?

    The game certainly needs something. Survivor is boring and killer is frustrating. A new killer/survivor every 4 months breaths momentary life into the game for a week then it dies down again. Id rather they fix the core mechanics of the game before adding anything else.

    As for your comment about solo survivor running into noed, mori, ultra rare add on killers. You can thank SWFs for that. If I had to guess that killer got bullied their previous match and put on their try hard pants for the next group unfortunate to come across them.

    I think the problem is there's no real competition. There's not many games like DBD and the few that are didn't last long. Friday the 13th died shortly after the law suit. Last Year was okay. The upcoming Predator and RE Resistance look cool but I don't think they will keep people interested after a month. I think the devs are too comfortable to make drastic changes to the core game play because there isn't anyone taking their customers away. The only thing driving their customers away are themselves.

    Honestly i agree i think a new game mode would be great one of the things i give friday the 13th the game over dead by Daylight was the different ways you could escape i mean you could escape by boat by cars on foot by killing jason and there were various things you had to do you might end up starting work on the car but escaping on foot it made it harder for the matches to feel repetitive because you didn't know what you would end up doing not only that but there were different ways to play and while people mock it and the ai isnt the best they added a single player mode which was a good thing

    Something that'd freshen up the game for me is not getting dedicated.

    Considering DBD is literally at it's peak average players ever right now, I agree they definitely need to add a new mode. If devs still didn't want to divide up the playerbase they could have the gamemodes rotate, or have them tied to the killer/map

    100 survivors, 25 killers, battle royal.

    Will the killers be capable of sacrificing all survivors or will the survivors power 125 gens first? How exciting.

    Sure something like a new gamemode would be cool,but i just don't see that happening anytime soon at all.

    They are already extremely busy with balancing and fixing the main game.Only if all the important problems from the main game are fixes i could see a new gamemode happening bit not before.That would be a very bad idea.

    I like this guy. Screw balancing, just make this and slam like 15 maps together and let ridiculous chaos ensue. I feel like it would be amazingly fun. I’d imagine Q times might pose a small problem though....

    lmao imagine how quickly gens would be going off and how many auras, notifications, and killer power sounds would be happening. I’m slightly drunk and dying laughing right now.

    Imagine 25 Killer players agreeing to all use Billy, LF or Demodoggo and spam map wide sound effects.

    I think we just need a massive re-balancing patch for perks. Buffing/reworking all the bad perks on both sides would add so much more variety and would make the game so much more fun. Some nerfs for the currently meta perks would be nice too, but the only one that I think needs one is DS.
