If You Had *3* Dead by Daylight Wishes...?

So, you're walking through Yamaoka and find a lamp. You rub it and out pops the BHVR development team!

They offer you 3 wishes, so long as those wishes are related to Dead by Daylight.

What would they be?

For me:

  • An Artist skin that turns her into an anthropomorphic crow.
  • Being able to see my MMR, the MMR of my opponents and all gains/losses postgame.
  • A substantial buff to half the killers/addons in the roster.

    1. When not using him, an AI Victor would roam the map like a naked baby purple glyph and use his Killer Instinct to detect people. He could be recalled anytime.
    2. A killer who can pretend to be a survivor. I don't know how a doppelganger would work, its not my problem. I just want one.
    3. That I could change / select archive goals from the lobby screen.

    Tough choice for just three, but I think mine would be...

    • More consistent survivor spawns, whether it's always grouped up or consistently 2/2. Also don't let them spawn on the same tile as a totem.
    • Reduce the BP grind by making new killers/survivors start with three open perk slots instead of one, and removing perk tiers.
    • Vriska Serket as a survivor. (gotta throw one pipe dream in there or it's not fun!)

    • Buff Pinhead's chains/chain addons
    • Unlock perks once, use anywhere
    • to never have to play on The Game again

    Seeing MMR and knowing what percentile I stand at

    Actual skill-based matchmaking instead of matchmaking to achieve contrived kill rate/escape rate targets. Don't stick me with brand new players when I've escaped too many times in a row and don't put me against hackers when I 4k too many times.

    I guess better ethics overall from BHVR. Reduced grind, more dialogue about their decision-making and how they arrive at balance decisions, fewer blatant money grabs. We're often told "the data says this" but we're met with radio silence when we ask why they think the data is saying that. And then we end up with bizarre changes to characters (Hillbilly) that make zero sense and it's frustrating. Granted, they were pretty transparent about the "why" behind the Spirit and Deathslinger changes, so credit where it's due.

    Actually, I have another wish. Kindred basekit. It's well past time for solo survivors to have information that SWFs get for free.

    -Revert the Realm Beyond entirely and delete everything related to new maps.

    -Revert Freddy to his on-release version with one or two additional QoL improvements.

    -Grant me command over Dead by Daylight so I can continue the reversions and additional changes in order to reach a perfect game. Or, you know, as close to a perfect game as possible.

    Jeff? How about some Twins skins. Give me a giant Victor with a tiny conjoined Charlotte that snorts and roams the map.

    I'll bite.

    1) A survivor exhaustion perk that creates a smoke screen cloud over ~10m radius that the killer cannot see through only. A defense for all the ranged BS they keep adding to killers.

    2) Camping is no longer possible. Hooking a survivor transfers them to a random hook without informing the killer of where, similar to Pyramid Head's cages.

    3) Crouching three times within five seconds inside of an exit gate, blocks that exit gate for 15 seconds for the survivor that did it. Call it the 'Karma effect'.

    1) Revert the Realm Beyond (including the animations and HUD)

    2) Unlink sets for original characters at least

    3) Lara Croft as a Survivor

    • Don't show opponent's Grades, they're irrelevant. Instead show a rough MMR bracket (e.g. which 5% or 10% percentile the opponent is in among the MMR scores). Show your own Grade on the load out screen since it's only used for you winning Bloodpoints at the end of a season.
    • Random Select options in the character select and loadout screens
    • Either make Daily missions dual survivor/killer (e.g. "Either hit with 4 Pig Ambushes or last 200 seconds in a chase as survivor"), or have two Daily Mission tracks, one for killer and one for survivor.

    • make the first four hooks shared be the entire survivor team, to make camping and tunneling right out of the gate an ineffective strategy.
    • large killer buffs across the board, making "must have" addons into base kit and then making most of the "%" based addons and perks significantly more powerful, since many of them would make more sense speeding things up by 100% or 200% than by the current niche %5 or %9. Recognize the difference between a 5% move speed increase (which can easily mean increasing the important attribute, your speed advantage over the survivor, by 25% or more, in a scenario that will take up a lot of time each match) and a 5% increase in speed performing some specific action like "the speed at which you pull a shot survivor towards you as deathslinger" or "the speed at which you create portals" which has no multiplicative effect and doesn't use up a ton of match time to begin with.
    • Make perk "levels" global or do away with them completely.

    1. Delete the ######### MMR entierly.
    2. Have the game sold to a competent company.
    3. If nothing works, remove the game from steam and refund all the purchases ever made for everyone.

    Revert both survivor/killer models.

    Revert most maps' appearance how they used to be in 2017~2018.

    Ultimate reduce of grind.

  • GentlemanFridge
    GentlemanFridge Member Posts: 5,801

    Rebuild the game from the ground up.

    Include Emblem scores into the MMR assessment at the end of the match.

    Stop the content cycle and just focus on the game's health. We have enough killers for the time being.

    -Springtrap from FNAF

    If I could wish for anything? Well then I'd have to go with:

    1: New gamemodes. Doesn't even really matter if they're balanced at the start or not. Variety is the spice of life and having just the same old same old grows tiresome after a while.

    2: Console cross-progression (it's something people have asked for, for ages).

    3: Third one is much more selfish, but personally, I'd love a Bloodborne chapter. Doesn't even really matter who the characters are as long as they're semi-recognizable (By that I mean, they're not just a random enemy that you fight in one area of the world).

  • DragonSlayerX67
    DragonSlayerX67 Member Posts: 36

    1: nerf boons so they are actually a survivor hex and not able to be replaced

    2: balance changes to weaker killers

    3: a karma effect for toxic behavior

    these i feel are reasonable

    1. Bring back old Freddy where he couldn't hit you unless you were in the dream world but make it more difficult to wake up
    2. Cut Blood Warden's time by half. 60 seconds is far too long.
    3. Fix the broken lobbies

    I wish the trickster players could be killed by survivors somehow. Also I want to be able to punch the clown. And just get rid of the gunslinger with his chain then whack attack. But then again, I don't deserve any wishes because of all the bad choices I make in the matches.

    That's literally it. Would solve multiple issues with one change.

    • Don't allow BHVR to ever touch Blight again, maybe nerf Alchemist Ring a bit but still allow them to remove unfair exploits like lag flicks.
    • Revert Freddy to his original power because in his current state, he basically just doesnt exist.
    • Buff Michael up to atleast High B Tier, don't care how, just get him up there, he's Michael Goddamn Myers and he deserves to be considered a threat.

    Fix the unknown error that is unknown. I wouldn't actually waste a wish on this but god damn do I get that error more then I'd like.

    Actual Wishes

    -No more Perk Tiers

    -All survivors have a shared inventory since they're basically just skins anyway

    -Prestige doesn't get rid of add-ons/items, only Perks

    I think there were other things I wanted more then those but they're ones that came to mind first.

    Edit: Loadout slots would also be a big one. Don't know if I'd trade it for one of the other three though.

    -Rewrite the spaghetti code into an actually organized system

    -Create a cross-progression system between every platform (besides mobile, they’re quit different)

    -Have the development team be more transparent with the community
