What are your DBD pipe dreams?

A pipe dream is something that is very unlikely to happen but I'll broaden it to include stuff that you wouldn't expect to happen for a year or longer, if ever.

Mine? A map rework (the item). Make them track more things, like other survivors, and allow you to mark objects of interest so other survivors can see its aura for a certain amount of time (for instance a gen, the hatch, or a totem). Yes I know about the beam of light, I'd like them to improve upon it.

And secondly: a luck rework. Let's give those offerings an actual use! For instance, increasing your chances of a better item or even an add on in a chest without Ace in the Hole. (And I'd also like the base RNG of finding keys in chests to be much lower)

How about you? I'm fully expecting meme answers lol but hopefully some serious ones too

    Make it so that keys turn into a troll face when you try to use them and then literally explode.

    Also give Bill a shirtless skin. Give every male survivor and killer a shirtless skin.

    Yes please!

    Kinda similar but I'd also like poses and new animations for survivors in the lobby. I'd love to have my character filing their nails or something lol

    1). Change "Slippery Meat" to reduce the time the killer has to get you on a hook, instead of the marginal chance of jumping off a hook.

    2). Have a chapter based on "The Magnus Archives" or "Alice Isn't Dead" - both great podcasts!

    3). More dynamic maps that change the layout considerably.

    4). An extra objective for survivors.

    5). Blood Warden to get a rework to combat 99% doors.

    6). A "Silent Hill: The Room" chapter like "Stranger Things". That is to say 2 survivors (Henry Townsend and Eileen Galvin) and 1 killer (Walter Sullivan, a.k.a "The Orphan" or "The Eleventh").

    A chapter for The Thing with both research bases as a realm. And R.J MacReady and Kate Lloyd as survivors. And the default skin for the Thing having multiple options. Eventually after say RE and FNAF and others I hope others will start asking for The Thing to join DBD.

    For BHVR to actually start giving us the content we have been paying for, also establish a clear communicative system for the community.

    It's a pipe dream because people eat it up even though it's obnoxious.

    I have too many, but one of them is voice lines for Killers and Survivors to give a bit of flavor to these blank canvases.

    My dream would be that they make a big patch for the ptb that adresses the balance of the game in a big manner(certain mecanics/killers/items)

    Remove Keys, Nerf spirit, nerf noed, nerf iron will, nerf freddy, remove all instant kill addons, remove bloodlust 2 and 3 for a starter

    There are so many things that are completly busted balance wise but nothing gets done. It is so frustrating, they have ptbs, why can't they not try some slight adjustments to the problematic things in question, there are so many ways to improve, but it will never happen, or it will take them years to adress these things.

    Killers can throw there M1 weapon out of anger at Survivors in the exit gates. 1 hit down if lands.

    1. dynamic maps etc that adjust to the killer (for both sides), like, denser grass for trapper, different trap colours for hag, smaller maps for low pressure killers (but more hiding spots) etc
    2. the game punishing camping, tunneling etc
    3. better dailies and general challenges structure
    4. the ability to sell items for BP.

    New objectives/different options for escaping. That's the only thing I think FT13 really had over dbd. I can't play more than a few matches anymore before I get bored of just working on gens over and over and over and over... Or defending said gens if I play the other side

    1. The end of looping and the rise of stealth as the main way to survive.
    2. The end of toxicity (or at least toxic ######### being heavily punished).
    3. More players taking responsibility for their actions (for example, survivors no longer blaming NOED for their losses and instead owning up to the fact that their refusal to cleanse totems is why NOED activated in the first place).

    Custom Games/KYF being truly and ridiculous with the customization available. Extra perk slots? Change base movement speed? Hell, even change how perks themselves work? Specifying a specific map seed? Restrictions and rulesets? All of it. Essentially a workshop to make up all sorts of wacky game modes no matter if that's making prophunt in DBD or making some sorta ProMod for competitive matches.

    And to go with that, a map creator/editor. Don't really care if it's in-game or done in some sort of mapping tool.

    I think this is possibly even beyond pipe dream territory but it's technically possible or so I'd assume. So yeah, that's my pick.

    Alien chapter (Xenomorph killer, Ellen Ripley survivor, Jones as a simple KI based perk/pet, Amanda Ripley as Legendary Skin)


    New Items for survivors, I even made some concepts: Sling ShotSpray Paint CansSalt PouchSmudge SticksSmoke BombVoodoo Doll


    Working Skill based Matchmaking. I know MMR is coming. I have high hopes for it. But it will not be perfect (as it can’t be with way too many variables..)


    Toxic playstyles shouldn’t be as rewarding (both sides)


    i would also say Accessibility options, but I guess that’s not a pipe dream any longer (colorblind mode, struggle rework).

    Jeepers Creepers. Apparently, the next movie will have a new director, so maybe BHVR can hopefully avoid the controversy.

    Since this is *supposedly* a F2P game, I would love to see daily rewards that don't require a grind or specific characters. Honestly, gacha games are great at this- the daily rewards are accessible to EVERYONE, and take very little time.

    I might not have an hour to play, but I probably can spare 15 minutes. And if the matches are going well....I might actually TRY and find time to play longer 🤷‍♀️

    The return of legacy skins to people like me who lost them. Definitely a pipe dream.

    I’d like to see the basement get bigger and killer specific, have another entrance/exit, add traps that are killer specific, ( traps for trapper, exploding wall vials for clown, electric shocks intermittently for doctor, etc...) and finally, better loot for survivors who risk going down there.


    Second pipe dream, bikinis for the girls.

    I have a killer idea that I've been working off and on for the past couple of weeks. I was thinking of messaging some streamers to review my power/perk ideas to really help me refine it (I expect to be ignored, but I'll try anyways.) I'm really proud of the story I wrote for her too and I intended to post the idea here on the forums once it's complete. I have this weird fantasy in my head that maybe they'll take some of the ideas I posted and implement it in a future killer. Maybe the devs will never acknowledge that they even read my concept, but I'll see a character in a year that is almost identical to what I suggested in more ways than could be mere coincidence.

    I know the odds are astronomically low for an insane amount of reasons, but it's something that I guess could count as a pipe dream.

    Lobbies where we can pick a few perks or certain things we dont want in the game. For example no slugging. For me slugging is a part of most of my games and usually happens when theres 3 gens left for whatever stupid reason lol. But the killer will still get mad if one gets out cause hatch is cheating even though they failed to hook everyone. That also includes killers being able to start matches where they dont want to play SWF if they cant handle it or no hatch or no flashlights whatever. So everyone gets games they enjoy. I dont mind dying id just like a decent fun game and that maybe happens 1 or twice out of every ten games. Just bought HSH and its better i will be switching.

    Other pipe dreams:

    • More settings so we don't have to change them in the files, like turning on/off VSync.
    • Recurring developer Q&A stream at least every 1-2 months.
    • Fewer bugs.

    A working game, reduced grind, secondary objectives for both sides, new game modes, like coop killers vs x amount of survivors

  • Adjatha

    Throw out every Pyramid Head add on that is not "extend range of shockwave" and redo the lot of 'em. The increase duration, increase recharge, and increase amount should all be on one add on, as each of these individually makes as close to zero impact as can be perceived. From there, all the new ones should be things to help Pyramid Head with his biggest weaknesses (mobility, slow down, tracking), or should provide minor quality of life improvements (reduce duration of missed shockwaves, all survivors start off tormented, survivors no longer remove torment when saving others from cages, your shockwave puts down torment trails when it is used, your trails of torment power makes no sound and does not slow you when it is used and you are not in a chase, etc).

    Basically, it sucks playing a killer with ONE viable add on.

    Another objective or more to do as survivor. Also I would love to have the Alien as a killer. Dont think it will happen but i would love it so much!!
