If you could create your own DBD event, what would it be?

Something fun- I’d say something like a map creator, and people can play it. It’s totally unoriginal, yes, but it would use the steamworkshop pretty well! 

Something like Octoberfest, maybe? (Sorry for butcher).

A Valentine’s Day event would be fun!

One of those community challenges we used to get- remember, it was like a big number of hooks, and a number of escapes for an item? That’d be fun.

If I could create my own event it would be something like infection from the CoD series. Where you play as survivor by default. However one random person is selected as the killer which is random on who you play as. That one player has to hook a survivor to 'kill' them, the 'dead' survivor comes back as a random killer who has to hunt down other survivors. The last survivor alive gets the most points, and the killer who had hooked the most would get the most points as well. This could be like a week long event and if it works, a new gamemode.

How many survivors? 20-ish maybe? This gamemode could have a timer so that survivors have a chance to win

16, since there is [currently] 16 killers (I will not be counting Bill as a survivor since there is 17 with him being his standalone survivor). The time could be like five minutes in between kills, so if no one is killed within 5 minutes, the survivors automatically gain points. And the killer gains half the points if he hasn't actively participated. Also survival isn't really important in this event, just having fun. But I imagine being as immersed as possible with like eight killers around could be fun.

Items are found in chests and automatically have two random add ons, killers start with random add ons [in cases like Hag, two add ons that contradict each other will not be used together]. You gain blood points normally in addition to actual survival or killers.

The end reward would be cosmetics for the original four survivors, and the original four killers. You can earn these cosmetics for simply playing the event and earning a special currency called a token, the tokens will be easy to get due to how much cosmetics there would be available. (Obviously numbers can change, but my idea would be to make the event fun and worthwhile. Not the grindfest some of them turn out to be.)

I honestly would like this as a base gamemode.

Oh yeah, bigger map I imagine

Of course. I can only imagine the horror show it would be if this took place in a small game like The Game. Also heartbeats would need to change. Jesus they would become annoying fast.

Something that gets the survivors working together rather than screwing each other over. Also the killer should have their own separate challenge going on.

Hide and seek event. Something to encourage people to try stealth.

Me and my friend @fcc2014 were spit balling ideas the other night. Like what if there was a vessel (lamp, coin, idc doesn't matter) that spawned into the map, but only 1. 

The survivors objective would be for one of them to get and keep the vessel away from the killer and escape with it. It doesn't matter who escapes with it (kinda like the bug that happened with someone taking a lamp and everyone getting the points) and the killer would have to break it. Since there is only one vessel the killer would have to hit it like 3 times before it gets completly destroyed
 
I feel like this would be more like capture the flag and survivors would work together instead of trying to sandbag each other for a lamp. 

Edit** and maybe the survivor who is holding the vessel will get a slight boost in healing speed and gen speed. Or the survivor who is holding it has a Leader type effect that helps other survivors who are close enough 

@Giddawid

Here's my attempt at it!

New Event: The Wonderwaffe
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/46239/new-dbd-event/p1

Something that should inspire real teamworks among survivors, and making killer even more exciting while creating tense end game scenario's

A mode where nothing changes but the survivor and killer models swap. 

Have the Entity randomly appear around the map and change things (like placing or taking event items) thoughout the match. Making it so the survivors have to find the item and work on it while the entity moves it around randomly. Maybe make it a special dark hex totem that takes 160 seconds to complete and gets moved every 20 seconds. The totem will disappear even when survivors are working on it. Multiple survivors can work on it together and each get full points for the amount of time and there is no speed penalty. This means it will always give the same amount of points no matter how many people work on it. Then the killer can get event points by forcing the item to move with a 5 second long interaction and hooking survivors who had worked on it. If the totem happens to disappear before the killer finishes the action, they still get the points for it as if they had finished. The more the survivor had worked on it, the more points they are worth. They get a dark aura around them as they gather more points from it. They lose half of the points when they are hooked and the killer gets exactly that amount. The points are awarded post-match. 

There is a UI widget at the top right part of the screen that shows how many points you currently have in the match.


I think this event promotes proactive play from both sides. It encourages the killer to go and move the totem, but also  allows them to collect hook rewards for just protecting the gens and killing survivors. It also means survivors will never get zero event points as long as they worked on the totem, since they lose half every time they are hooked. 

The totem shoild be worth a total of 20,000 bloodpoints for the 160 seconds. That means it is worth 80 points per second. This is given in full among the survivors working on it if multiple are working on it at the same time. This way it will always give out exactly 20k. Killer can get a max of 20k as well. 

BlOOD SPORT

KILLERS: Whenever a Killer hooks a Survivor the blood from that Survivor pours into a funnel below them and feeds into a fountain somewhere on the map. A set amount of blood is poured in perk hook so the time a Survivor is on the hook makes no difference. Every 3 hooks the fountain fills up and must be emptied, if it is not emptied and you hook another Survivor then their blood is excess and pours out of the fountain. Emptying the fountain rewards the Killer with Bonus Bloodpoints, emptying a full fountain also imbues them with faster movement speed and causes your hits to inflict the Broken status effect which lasts 30 seconds.

SURVIVORS: Boxes similar to Jigsaw boxes appear around the map, sacrifing blood to it rewards you with Bonus Bloodpoints and fills up the Blood Vats, Survivors can only activate 2 Boxes each. When all the Gens are completed and you open the Exit Gate, as you run towards freedom the Blood Vats empty and shower Survivors with their sacrificed blood which is imbued with power and rewards even more Bloodpoints. The Killer can also benefit from this Blood Shower.

Cosmetic Currency is tracked by the amount of Blood is in your personal Blood Bucket, 3 Buckets for a full outfit. The cosmetics would obviously be blood themed so they would be alternate versions of Prestige outfits but noticeably different than Prestige.

A gamemode where there's 16 survivors and 14 killers in a match. But you can't have two of the same killer. It's a huge map and the survivors have to repair 30 generators since there's more of them and gen time remains as it is now. However every killer is in the match which means pure chaos. Mories are not allowed. Survivors take 5 hooks to die. There are many hooks in a match all close to each other. 4 exit gates. Survivors take 4 hits to down. All perks available are active for both sides. There are 25 dull totems. The Map is huge and lots of pallets are scattered around the map. The map looks like a dark forest and appears to be corrupted by the entity and has a ton of fog. I call this event/ game mode "Chaos"

Imagine if you're that 1 guy and you take the DS 16 times...
That seems brutal xD

Yeah but, built in enduring so it wouldn't be too bad I guess, plus you have the other killers to help out if their nearby. Friend goals

This sounds super fun but I'd hate for them to implement this while the game is p2p. Some people crappy mcdonalds WiFi can't support 4 people. 

That's what I was thinking of as well. Perhaps when dedicated servers arrive it could be a possibility

(Video from an unfinished post about map generation in DBD: See 2:44 map sizing)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQka-Hbsdgk

Is this about the size you're thinking about?

April Fools event would be good, the chests could have joke things in them, the survivors could use snakes that burst out a can as to blind the killers, sort of like the firecrackers. I did like the Hallowed Blight event the best....i liked gathering nectar and seeing the story unfold. I liked someones red and blue team idea, maybe during the ame, teams use paintball guns to hit one another, gain points, stops gen rush, or capture the flag while evading the killer etc. Coloured hooks, each one has a different amount of points, red-5 points, blue 10 points and yello 15 points, i made a pajama event, could collect candles/bears for prizes. A reversal thing? maybe with colours, shades.....different surivors wearing other sirvivors clothes, hair.....killers can set mines which when stepped on puts surviors in the injured state, but they can disarm them if they find them.....killers using funny weapons.....different sounds for like hitting....gens etc...just some of ideas tossing in there

RELIC HUNT... There are Relic Peices scatered through level. Number of which depends on offerings base spawn of 4. Each 5 peices completes a Relic each Relic Ties to Lore about the entity as Unlocked and also awards shards and BP upon each full relic completed. The Killers being linked to the entity protect the Relics and gain Shards and BP  based on number of Relic Peices they protect which can be done like in the Lunar event when a lantern is destroyed.Except the relic Peice once got by killer isn't destroyed but Placed by the Entity in a special chest in the Basement.Once A Relic piece is in the chest in the basement the killer automatically gets that peice unlocked however the Survivor can also extract that piece from the basement and leave with that peice number of pieces gained are tied to each individual player and all lore unlocked will be the same for each player killer and Survivor alike. I think this would give a great opportunity to expand lore and change up gameplay what do you guys think?
