The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Devs need to extend the event due to how bad killer queues are.

I don't have time to wait for so many lobbies. The devs shouldn't have required us to play both killer and survivor in the first place.

    Well you have till the 2nd of November, so how about you try a bit more before complaining on forums? If you;re a higher rank, then it should at least be expected.

    I do agree they could have done this a bit better, because you really can't even play the game because of all the people farming.

    Don't we all? ._.

    And yeah, it could have been handled a little better, like that you get half of your progress in the other category - like if you play survivor you get half of your progress towards your vial for Killers and vice versa.

    Still, there is a lot of time left and we shall see how it goes from here instead of immediately going ape cheese again like the cheese storm they got about the cosmetics.

    Wish the grind wasnt so extensive on killer side, or so short on survivor side.  Its causing bad match times.

    Ive been playing survivor 2 days straight now, never get a group when i try killer. Wish i could derank out of red for the event at least.

    Just make is so after 3-5 minutes of waiting those killers get priority regardless of rank. this shouldn't not be expected this is the fault of poor matchmaking, Reward killers for ranking up don't punish them. Institute a casual mode or something I'm getting sick of waiting.

    It's certainly annoying waiting nearly 10 minutes every time I want a Killer game. It's dragging this out to an absurd length for me.

    Worst part is the dread you might get hit by a really good team who will stomp your ass I'm starting to see why their was so many nurses when i played survivor. XD

    I get about 20-25 minute waiting times (R3). But please consider this too: this event is aimed at players who only play one side to try the other. There's no way to do that and avoid long lobby waits for killers. Still, I really like the idea that everyone grows a little more sympathetic towards the other side :)

    The main issue is that Killers can actually keep farming after they get their 30 vials. Add in the fact that you get way more BP as Killer anyways and most people who are done with their vials are playing Killer for dem BPs.

    I am done already, please end the event such that we can go back to playing normal
    Thanks

    I'm farming at absolutely every chance I can get because there is no way i'm not filling a Vial each match (if enough Petals were played) with these awful queue times.

    I did not even consider playing any other killer but nurse for the event lol.

    They really do need to extend it. These wait times are ridiculous.

    Not to mention the fact that getting petals costs a fortune on any of your main killers. So you kind of need to level up low-level characters, which means going into games against high level 4 man SWF all armed with toolboxes and you've got a character with a few basic low level perks. Since it takes 10 mins to get a full lobby you can't afford to be picky either.

    Let's get to the day before the event ends to determine if extension is necessary..

    Longer you leave a problem the worse it gets. My advice make it so survivours can harvest flowers however it will not be turned into serum this will make point gain as survivour favourable and encourage survivours to continue post getting all their serum.

    This thread needs all the up votes it can get! I am tired of waiting 10-15 min for killer lobbies. It doesn't matter when the event ends this issue needs address by the devs!

    While yes the wait is annoying I'm only 2 vials or so away from ym 30 so it's not unbearable and Iv'e not been pushing as hard as some that're doing there's now on survivor side.

    This is why they made us play killer for 1/2 of the vials. They wanted survivors to get a new perspective.

    Could a done that by making killers require earning 20 vials and survivors 40 vials. Hear me out a killer needs a lobby of 4 people a survivor only needs one killer. We should make earning vials based of player count not game play preference of survivor or killer. The required players can not be satisfied by preference alone.

    I agree, even though you have to share plants, the survivors are usually done well before the killers.
