If they added comms to dbd...

I would shut it off. I like soloq, I don't want to coordinate on comms.

Thank you very much.

    Maybe both system can coexist

    The cool part of this is that MMR would separate the people who would and wouldn't want to communicate. That is your choice to make, and it should be opt in not opt out.

    considering that the game is designed around information we are supposed to get from perks, non verbal communication like emotes, and overall inutition, I'm still thinking that voice communication is not something they will add or the game is supposed to be played. That being said, if there is a general balance issue between the experience as a solo survivor and a swf, the only way to balance the game around solo players is to remove swf from online matches, and playing with friends should be restricted to custom games only. If not, the game will never be balanced around solo players.

    Just basekit kindred would help a lot and I think that would be pretyy easy to add. Also making ability to mark generators being repaired would be fine. Both these information swf has available. Then some low tier killers could gets buffs and killers could get maybe basekit BBQ and grim embrace.

    Same here, I prefer the ambient sounds over static and chaotic background noise.

    Me too. I’d turn it off.

    Also could you imagine the tantrums, some giant man baby screaming in your ear because they aren’t getting exactly what they want from the game.

    MWO has voice comms but that makes sense you are in a sophisticated mech as part of a coordinated lance, but I do individually mute people because it’s still online pvp when means man baby armchair general Jo often makes an appearance and he likes to be heard.

    Also the moment players hear a girl it’s like some horny teen date fest, it’s brutal sometimes.

    You won't even need to turn it off, the overwhelming majority of players won't even use it

    Honestly, it's not necessary. Base-kit Kindred would be more than enough. SWF already have that information anyway so it won't change much. But Solo Q desperately could use it at this point.

    They openly said multiple times voice comms will not be added

    It would solve so many solo queue issues, but survivor mains rightfully know that their kind is not to be trifled with and they are justifiably afraid of communications from fellow survivors. I do not blame them one bit.

    Id like if they added proximity chat with the option to turn it off/mute specific people. Most games with comms have this and honestly I think itd be great as some one who usually likes to screw around. In fact screwing around in a solo q game is how I met one of my main friend groups that Ive been talking to for about 2 years now.

    Now what I think would be even better is if it was proximity chat. At the moment I can only dream of uncloaking behind an unsuspecting Survivor and play the Bad to the Bone riff...

    Game evolves and if players says they want comms they should and balance around it

    No because;


    1/ having played Friday 13th before DBD it can be an absolute faff.


    2/ BHVR would sign and seal it as a solution to all the soloq woes, despite the majority of people clearly not wanting to use it.

    Yeah i wouldn't want it either

    If i can't turn it off i would rather mute the entire game then hear somebody screaming in my ear the entire time

    Especially as console crossplay is a thing it'd be 10x worse than anything we heard in DotA. I get tumors just listening to console surv streamers in my games.

    random survivor: (incoherent screaming) WHY DIDNT YOU SAVE ME OFF THE FKING HOOK?!?!?!

    Kindred user: looks at survivor in the basement with Bubba in the corner

    Yeah, comms are gonna be a no from me.

    If I learned one thing from that video, it’s that Nurses should run Spirit Fury. 🙂

    Same. I'd rather not be screamed at by Nea because I didn't shave 0.01 second off gen times
