so of course the objective of dead by daylight is to do generators and escape right...but do you think they should update the game to have more then just that? like why cant we do other stuff then just boring generators and running around unhooking people. I think it would be cool to be able to hit the killer while he has you on his shoulders to try to escape at least once or kick the killer or something. This prolly sounds really stupid but i just want dbd to be way more interesting and they have the potential to make it way better! Secondly i wish we could do other things aside of gens like finding some sort of key to escape or just something yanno. Just my opinion

    I think everyone's been asking for "anything but just gens" for years now.

    People already complain about the fact that killer gameplay feels stressful like a race against the clock. Giving survivors the ability to attack the killer with the intention to rob the killer of a hard earned hook would be a one-way ticket to slug-city.

    Killers would get more stressed out and slug every single match to the point where even anti-slug perks will become useless just so they can't get attacked while carrying a survivor to a hook.

    Not sure how that would make DBD "better"

    It's not a crazy idea. Friday the 13th doesn't beat DBD at much, but it has multiple ways for the counselors (survivors) to win. You can wait out the 20-minute match limit, escape in 1 car, or the other car if spawns, take the boat if there is one, call the police and wait for them to arrive. It's way more complicated than just holding a button and saying "gg ez" to the killer.

    The primary objective are gens

    the secondary objective is escape

    Totems are optional but still important

    Being chased, healing and unhooking prolong survival

    To introduce another objective would mean breaking the games core mechanics and rebuilding them around said new objective

    And that won't happen anytime soon

    Decisive Strike is a thing.

    The main issue with the objectives is that is is a race against the clock for both sides. As a killer you will eventually run out of gens and as a survivor you will eventually run out of pallets and hooks. Adding extra to either side could throw off the balance and make one side too easy. We have something to "kick the killer". It's called Decisive Strike. What you just described was old DS which was one of the most unbalanced things in this game at it's time

    I had a dream where DBD was a whole different game once. It was one of those crazy detailed dreams so when I woke up I was like "oh..."

    Survivor was in first person, the game looked like a high quality first person game.

    Survivors had to work as a team to stop various killers, but the killers changed the entire game each of them had their own mechanics. Like freddy you had to trick him into the real world and then trap him in the boiler room where you would burn him to death; and Demogorgon you had to seal all the portals to the upside down and activate the big machine in the main room when he was in it to stop him, things like that.

    It was crazy cool, but DBD will never be that kind of game.
