Really getting sick of Coldwind farm.
I honestly hate this map. It was better when it was dark. Why would anyone want a map during daytime? It just doesn't fit the theme of this game at all. Either put it back to the way it was or delete it.

No.

It is no secret that I hate The Realm Beyond with a burning passion, but Coldwind easily takes the spot as one of the worst. A daytime map doesn't even make sense to begin with.
It looks bad. It is bad.

I always thought I was truly a ######### killer. (I still am, but that's different.)
Every single time I got to Coldwind there's just no winning for me. I can't get a single kill and I have no idea why, but on literally any other map such as Haddonfield for some ungodly reason I can get 4ks. I'm just happy if I get 2ks, but any other map I can get a solid kill streak. Unless the team is exceptionally well coordinated.

I like the new coldwind because I can actually watch videos of dbd on that map, some other maps make it so dark you can't watch the videos of them out and about which just sucks

Ya I don't know I wish the killer could veto any map he wanted to but the survivors could veto any killer they wanted to. Kind of like other games. It would mean the killer can change their killer during the lobby screen but that'd be a cool feature.

I don't really like coldwind as both sides tbh

Coldwind is ass

I'm colourblind and literally cannot see the red auras through the corn, of gens or downed people etc.
I still have trouble tracking people by scratch marks with all the crap on the floor.

Are y'all still on that "daylight in Dead By Daylight" argument? Dude, it's just a map. It's not unplayable just because it's daytime. This is "Trickster doesn't fit" all over again.

I have been on that map an inordinate number of times over the last two days. Played 5 straight farm maps as a solo survivor yesterday, with no offerings to influence it. Played 4 killer rounds today, with another 2 on the farm (one of the two non-farm matches had a survivor map offering to go to Midwich). I've seen so much corn the last 48 hours, it's ridiculous, lol.
I have trouble seeing auras as well. Multiple times yesterday, a survivor was downed and I couldn't see where they were until they were hooked.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is like the number 1 influence for DBD as a whole and most of that movie takes place during the day.

I seem to get Fractured Cowshed so often these days when I'm playing survivor.
How they managed to not fix such a fundementally broken map is beyond me, it's so unfair for killer
0 -
If that were the case than why aren't all of the maps during the day?
2 -
Because other stuff exists? What kind of question is this. They obviously take a lot of inspiration from movies like F13 and TCM but that doesn't mean DBD is a straight up F13/TCM game. They do a lot of their own stuff and take inspiration from other stuff.

I'm sick of coldwin farm for sure. I hate the corn it's such BS. and the fact that I get put on it pretty much every other match right now makes me hate it even more. there has to be something off with the map spawn likelihood right now. I hate it as both killer and survivor.
######### Corn.

I hate it as Killer AND Survivor now.
Never thought i'd see this day.

I'm starting to dislike this map since I cannot see anything clearly on it. Scratch marks blend in the ground too easy and auras are too hard to see most of the time.
5 -
The worst thing about this map for me is: They finally got colorblind filters, and i got myself a good setting, and this map is so different from the rest that i again cant see any auras on this map. And since i can´t change filters during a match, i just use the penalty-free disconnect i enjoy at the moment.
2 -
I quite like the visuals of Coldwind, but I still don't like the map overall.
0 -
You can change colorblind settings in a match.
I'm colorblind too and love the new settings but hate the corn. I can't see any auras as killer even with adjustments. If I can get 1k ill be happy

Look at the comment above yours. There's a reason why some people have issues with this godforsaken map. I too have a hard time seeing some colors on Coldwind as well. Something just messes with me. Not every issue is "wha! I can't use my power effectively on this map!" While it's common, other people have serious personal issues that map just causes. I can't see scratch marks at all on this map either.
It's poorly designed. Before I read "just use the colorblind settings heh" you think I already hadn't? I had to Day 1 once it was released and Coldwind is still a poorly design map. On paper, it's gorgeous. 10/10 to the design team, but it's just a really difficult map for some people.

While i enjoyed the realm beyond i agree on coldwind, it would have been perfect if the map had a harvest moon

stopped bringing items and when i get coldwind i make myself a target by making a lot of noise. i'm not tanking i'm taking the heat off the others

Idk Coldwind became one of my favorite maps mostly due to it being daytime. I think it looks great and I hope they do more daytime maps in the future

That's not an unplayable map. Maps that are OP for survivors like Haddonfield and the farm maps may be a pain in the ass to play on, but you're not having issues like invisible walls and the game crashing. Scratch marks and auras are not that hard to see on those maps for me, but if they need to brighten them up specifically for that map, they should do it.

"Scratch marks and auras are not that hard to see on those maps for me"
But for others they are hard to see and that's why they're voicing their complaints. Just because it doesn't bother you, doesn't mean others aren't allowed to complain about it.

I wish they introduced a killer with a fire ability. So I can burn all the corn in the map.
2 -
Are the colorblind options in the options menu of no help?
0 -
I get those maps at least 40% of the time and I hate it. It looks pretty but I liked the old atmosphere much more, the daylight makes it too yellow. It's so bright and yellow that I can barely see anything red. It's like a new Ormond.
0 -
The new update Coldwind Farm maps are terrible for colorblind people or ones with bad vision, they are also the most common maps because they are very bad for killers.
They are maps that I have never been on more than a few times in 2 years and have no idea how to navigate them because BEhaviour does not know how to make good map designs so they put them behind a RNG percentage (just bad game design)

How does that boot taste?

I know a bootlicker when I see one (not you btw)

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the last person you'll see defending the devs, except for the new survivor animations that got shot down by a baseless cancel culture.

Ormond at least has the sense not to mix reds, yellows, browns and oranges. It’s white and a bit blue so even though it’s pallet city I’ll at least be able to tell where im being epically looped at
1 -
The map is huge with the most problematic tiles in the game (Long loops to Jungle Gyms + Shack)
Add corn and scratch make visibility problems, yeah it's a gross map.
1 -
I just accept a loss on this realm as killer, absolute garbage realm, all the other maps are dark hey lets make a map that is bright and completely contrasts the color pallet of all the other maps
1 -
Seems like everyone hates the map lol
0 -
It expands the horror of the game by giving it a texas chainsaw massacre vibe. It is too bright for early morning, but even before it wasnt at nighttime. Coldwind has always been in the dusk it is just slightly too bright. Honesty it looks great imo, its just op for survivors
1 -
I manage to get this map all the time...
I hate it.
0 -
The game's tracking is fundamentally balanced around bright auras and scratch marks contrasting with dark environments.
Tracking on those maps is nightmarish as its so bright that its really hard to see some auras and scratch marks making killers lose survivors for no reason.
0 -
Well, let me answere your question even thou it was rhetorical.
I want a daytime map because "horror" is not just "something dark" for me. A bright map can also be scary and with the corn, the house and the slaughterhouse they made the right move. I think the map is decent as getting hunted by Hillbilly or Bubba through the corn feels just right. Light gives you a false hope while there is still no escape. Also Myers and Ghostface fit well here when they stalk you through the Corn.
Maybe some fixes to scrachmarks or auras would do it well but aside from that I like that map.

And I cant see the gen auras. its kinda annoying :/
