A question about the game's past and present

Not really, not now that Wraith's really awesome.

If i'd consider what's overall the best, i might reconsider.

But my choice there was completely personal.

Some bugs were pretty funny and there were so many of them, that you couldn't tell whats a bug and whats dbd. I had the scariest moment during buggy games, where you loaded in as a survivor into a completely dark world. No lighting, you could barely see anything and then you see the red light from the killer coming closer. You dont know where you are, you couldnt see pallets or windows, you could just run in the dark while a red light was coming closer. From the killers POV, there were survivors joining your ongoing match. A 5th, 6th, 7th survivor would load in, sometimes you find them and kill them, but the game would always crash.

In retrospect those bugs were funny, when you forget about the wasted time. When you got stuck in the hill...again.

But my favorite version was 1.0.4 when they removed some infinites. That was the first time survivors played with pallets and other windows. Seeing how palletlooping slowly developed and spread through the small playerbase until it became common knowledge.

I'd go back when curtain call was the latest chapter, Because after that we had 4 events that were ACTUAL events and not a cash-grab

And the look of the game back then, The maps were dark but you could actually see the survivors and killer and they were not just invisible like autohaven the game and macmillan now are really dark i cannot see anything while playing both killer and survivor

And the events god the blight one was beautiful same with all of them obviously but the blight one was the best, Hopefully they come back

They can bring the fog back in the game and make them a bit brighter and make the blue tint come back into macmillan and reduce the amount of pallets in the game too

The events can come back too If BHVR wasn't so greedy..

I can go on and say what i want the devs to do But i feel like this is too much lol

-Your local feng main (That isn't toxic :D)

To be honest so much stuff has changed throughout DBD's life I can't pinpoint an exact patch I'd want to return to in terms of the games balance, besides for nostalgic reasons.

But I do kind of wish the game could be reverted back to pre-crossplatform. I always used to see the same faces... people who have been playing like me for years. I used to recognize people's steam usernames and have a silly chat before the game started.

But now I hardly ever see the same players and it's even rarer to see the older players I used to see a lot. I also used to play against streamers a lot before crossplatform - it was a lot of fun seeing their perspective of the game afterwards. Nowadays half the players I play with I can't even interact with in post or after game chat. No one is familiar. Makes me sad.

Edit: Also just to clarify I realize there is an option to disable crossplatform. But I imagine it would take a very long time to find a game and that hardly anyone else uses that option.

Things I want back/to come into DBD:

How the old maps looked

Old events

Old billy

Old Freddy (He could teleport out of ANYTHING like gens pallets hooks etc.)

Spirit rework

Myers addon pass

Hag addon pass

Old sabo (I miss that tbh Sure it took a while but it was fun for me at least)

Legion addon pass (With a rework)

Key nerf (I know that's coming but we don't know when)

Haddofield rework

Bloodweb rework

NOED rework (Throw in the token system there)

Dead Hard nerf (Make it so you can only avoid basic attacks and not the special ones)

That's pretty much what I want in DBD If they do all of the stuff I mentioned Everyone would be happy :D

The bloodweb currently is kind of grindy tbh It shouldn't need a FULL rework I have an idea which is: When you prestige a character the perk is ALWAYS available to all the survivors for example Let's say I have plague P1 Corrupt will be available to all of the killers and when you get her to P2 infectious is also available to all killers same with P3

I'm going to be the outlier here and say that I actually wouldn't go back! I started playing in late 2018 and was active up until a recent hiatus for about 7 months (unrelated to the game). I'm back now and I have honestly never had as much fun with the game as I am having now as a solo player.

Now I'm very rusty and I lose more matches than I win (though statistically that is usually the case for Survivors, especially in 2020 where for red ranks it was shockingly low to have any escapes) but I just feel like there is an uptick in balance to the game. Killers feel oppressive and challenging but not impossible to counter (save for a few, and again I'm rusty), Survivors feel disadvantaged without wits and cooperation, it honestly feels so differently from how it was right before I left.

Maybe this is just from personal optimism but I can't wait to see what the future for DbD holds and where we are in another few chapters! 😄I think that some features will be even further polished and that we could have some exciting new Killers/Survivors, maps, improvements, etc.

Thanks for the fun post, GeneralV!

I started right between Ghostface and Demo, so mid 2019 here, personally I woul never go back. The only real events I've had were 4th year anniversary, Halloween gens/hooks, and lunar new year gens/hooks but to me big events bring out the FOMO which is bad enough when the rift gets close to closing and I haven't finished it yet.

As far as balance goes most of the killers that have had "negative" changes have been ones I didn't enjoy playing in the first place so it doesn't effect me at all. There are some things that are currently frustrating but I think a big part of that is that the game is becoming more balanced so some(most) players are clinging to those powerful perks, builds, add-ons, etc. that are incredibly strong and cover their lack of ability in certain areas.

Yes, because I miss the old maps.

May I ask what's wrong with Ghostface?

I wish you would've been there, just by seeing how nice you are here I coule tell that you would've had a blast in that event.

But hey you were there during the winter event, that one was also a great event, I too miss the music.

I’d go back to around cursed legacy or stranger things. Both fun chapters and that was about the time I really got into the game.

Breakable walls weren’t a thing and the maps were fairly balanced.

There was always a new map to look forward too and the new perks were usually pretty decent.

Here since release.

Even though I don't agree with certain changes, for me the best overall state of DbD is the current one. I wouldn't want to have this game reverted to any of the previous versions.
