    Support, but only if there are 2 teams and killers compete with each other

    Well what do you want? dog crap piled on top of horse crap on top of chicken crap? the game has so many issues as it is and you want to spilt the community even more between 2 game mods that would both be full of equal problems? think before you speak.

    Only way they can do 2 killers vs 7/8 survivors would be only after dedicated servers

    yeah i know the only reason i posted this is because i have been asking about this for a while now and have never got a dev or someone important on dbd team to answer the question

    Maybe that should tell you something then. Like maybe it's a bad idea.

    Oh look you posted the usual response without even acknowledging they've got a valid point.

    Legion imbalance issues.
    SWF balance issues.
    Solo balance issues.
    Totem balance issues.
    End Game balance issues.
    DS balance issues.
    Map balance issues.
    Unreal Engine issues the whole lot of em due to Epic's update like peoples games crashing causing 3v1 or even 2v1.

    I mean it's not like any of those let alone the last one are more important than a new game mode.

    Ok you just lost any credibility in this debate then if you actually think game breaking stuff shouldn't be fixed before a pet project that would suffer from same issues.

    i think a 2v6 would be better honestly. I think there would just be to many survivors if it was 8

    1. A mode for friends to play killer together is a good idea. Think of how many mention they main survivor simply to play alongside friends. 
    2. Nobody is asking for a bugged out new mode. I would hope the Dev's if ever would release a polished working version. And yes after addressing current issues.
    3. A who can kill the most mode would also be fun if incorporated after a co-operative mode. God knows sharing the carnage would be more enjoyable than a 5th competitor to stress your ability.

    no i am not say that they should not fix the base game but it would be fun to have a new. now feel free to ######### off

    Yet that's how you cam off with your response that they shouldn't fix the base game 1st however and if you go back and look at what you posted you'd see that.

    Oh and didn't you know I'm the resident fossil and I LIVE HERE WORM !!!!!!!!!! 😁😜

    Now just to be clear I'd like a new game mode as well and if you were to go look at the various other threads where this has been discussed Ad Nauseum.

    You'd see how many pro's and cons there really is and how much actual work is required to make it functional since it's not as easy as just adding more gens, you'd have to have way bigger maps. There'd have to be a very specific set of perks that're allowed and same for killers etc.

    Identity v has a team killer mode with some additional rules. God i shouldve put the somwhere i can copy them from.
    2v8

    7generators to open doors, 10-11 on map. -30% repair speed.

    Only the 2 biggest maps in rotation available

    3hits to down a survivor, instantdowns count as 2. Dunno how that affects healing, but effectively 2 injured states.

    Both basements spawn.

    Survivors cannot be unhooked for 30seconds dunno if that counts as sacrifice time or a delay before.

    Some special item shop spawn all over the map, survivors can buy items and killers upgrades.

    Survivors can carry 2 items.

    I think that was all.

    While killers are in the same team, there arent any coop-bp-scores,
     The game also counts the hits, downs and "grabs"  on score screen.


    And lol to needing to balance 2v8 differently than 1v4, the difference is in the rules.

    Not to mention a better matchmaking system overall since right now the host for the 2v8 game could be the one using McDonalds Wifi.. and that crap cannot handle a normal 1v4 to begin with.

    This so much.
    The devs have so many points on their to-do-list, thinking about a 2v8 mode is super low priority.

    Sad truth is a different game mode would be a welcome change, sadly all that is on the to do list for the devs is next killer, map and survivor and what new cosmetics will be next. I can really see no effort from the team to make real fixes / balance changes to the game. I think if people would boycott buying any and all cosmetics that might pressure the devs to actually fix stuff and put a hold on new content / cosmetics.

    why do people want a 2v8 mode?

    Because killers need friends too.
