What do you think about comms ?

Yeah comms is kinda cheating. I've played some survivor with friends and if we are on comms the game is incredibly easy compared to running around without info. I know where the killer roughly is at all times, I know where my team mates are at all times, we're pointing out totems and areas where pallets are used up. Its kinda broken before we even add in any perks.

I'm a potato survivor but I've never been killed in a comms match. This is not due to my ability and its a low level game given how rarely I play survivor so maybe better killers do well enough to counter the huge advantage comms gives but it really is the game on easy mode against anything but high tier/experienced killer. I kinda prefer not knowing my heart beat is a lot higher when I try solo survivor. That intensity makes the game a lot more fun even if I get killed more.

Although I've only played around 20 or so games as survivor even at that level I feel the difference and I know enough about the game from playing killer to know the difference too.

Still I won't berate anyone from wanting to chat with their buddies while gaming. As such I just try to have fun regardless of outcome.

VOIP is now more important to be implemented than ever before with the MMR news. Say you have two solo q'ers, one has a map and the other a key. While there isn't much synergy there imagine if it's SWF. As soon as the black lock spawns the team knows right where to go to get out. When MMR is actually used they need to be able to condition for this. BHVR officially supports Discord with an official channel so they really need to get off of the fence already and just add it.

100% correct, they need to add VOIP to where it would act exactly like discord. Only the team can hear it, unlimited range.

I think you're missing the point of balancing the game :/

I would rather have that then the developers trying to balance two separate games. The only type of person who wouldn't is a swf player.

And they do....on a consistent basis in red ranks. This game's been out for 4 years and it still hasn't been fixed. Hopefully now that they are actually taking small steps to get this game on track with balance we can finally get it done so the dev's can balance the game properly.

1. If Comms were not intended in the game, the developers were raised under a rock. People are on comms playing everything. Heck, you can even get on comms to play online solitaire! Solitaire is a one-person game!! Seriously, there is zero chance the developers did not sit there at some point and say, "You know, people may jump on Discord, or their phones or some other communication media and talk while playing survivor." If they did not, you are looking at the most incompetent development team since Wile-E-Coyote's research and development department.
2. Comms are strong, but to be expected. If you don't anticipate a team communicating while playing killer, that is your own mistake. I am always considering the likelihood they are talking. If one of them hit a trap, I make sure to move it, or leave it and place one nearby as a trick. If I hear a gen being worked while I'm in a chase, I let them break LoS and quickly dip to the gen to throw them off. Mess the faith in their comms up some. Make them nervous.
3. I do not, in any way, want to see comms built into the game. The last thing I want as a killer or survivor is to hear a 10 year old going off in the game. Or, for that matter, a 20 year old with a 10 year old's mental capacity going off. Nope, post game chat has that covered. I would like to see the OPTION for the killer to converse with the survivors before the game. If you don't want to, so be it, if you enjoy chatting and trying to make the atmosphere less angry/frustrating, then go for it. Entirely voluntary. Some might say, "That will encourage farming." Umm, no more than me walking up to a survivor pointing at a gen and then pointing at me. If I want to farm, I nod yes. If I don't, I smack them. Same goes as survivor, the killer smacks the gen and nods yes. If I want to farm, I respond, if not, I run off.

Comms were never intended for DBD (SWF wasn't even in the first release of the game, they just added it cause people would constantly dodge lobbies until they finally matched with their friends anyway). That being said, there's not a lot that can be done about them, and honestly, while they do have the potential to be unfair, 90% of SWFs are just shooting the ######### with their friends. They aren't super tryhard and the most hardcore info they tend to give out is "hex totem is over at this location!", but hex totems are usually found quick anyway.
