I feel like DBD should add proximity chat it would be a whole new experience to the game adding that the killer could also hear you would make it such an intense game

    Please no. I don't wanna hear how little Jimmy pleased my mom last night.

    Seriously tho, I am not a fan of proximity chats. Even typed chat is a breeding place for toxic behavior.

    Any form of communication still creates opportunities to turn solos into something equivalent to a SWF. Someone running OoO could easily relay information to nearby teammates, making a feature that SWFs often abuse now commonplace, albeit to a somewhat more limited extent.

    No it wouldn't. It would make it a clown fiesta and add to toxicity. People will just use it to trashtalk the killer while they tbag and start cussing out teammates. It completely removes immersion

    If you ever played Friday the 13th when it came out and joined a public lobby you'd know how garbage this feature would be. Semi good idea in theory, horrible in practice

    Yeah, really intense experience to get yelled at by 12 year olds with 5 Dollar-microphones.

    Would disabloe it 100% of the time.

    I don't want to listen to randos in my game with their pimple-faced voices polluting my audio waves.

    Context menu for gestures, tagging waypoints, etc. is way better.

    Proximity chat is foolish.

    As @MadLordJack put it,

    Find a clip of someone saying transphobic, homophobic, bigoted racial slurs on constant loop.

    Raise the pitch by 150%.

    Play these on loop whenever you're within 10m of another player.

    Add in some politically charged hate.

    Congratulations you've got proximity chat.

    It would kill the game. It was meant to be a solo experience, swf breaks the game. I would refuse to play killer if this was introduced

    I would like something similar to TF2's premade voice lines.

    If you haven't seen it, I'll explain. You press a key to pull up the menu then press 1-9 for different voice lines to be played. It has a cooldown to prevent spamming also.

    Each character could have there own spins on saying the same things and it adds a lot of personality to each character.
