1 week with perks/add-ons/items/map offerings being disabled
Would you be here for it?
Just for the devs to collect the data and see how it would impact the overall kill/escape statistics
I just came down from watching the newest Coconut and Otz videos where they talk about meta and tunneling and honestly they were super pessimistic about the game and when it comes down to it, what do people complain the most about these days?
Broken OP killer perks, 2nd chance perks stacked, gen speeds that are influenced by perks and items, OP killer add-ons, Eruption, Dead Hard
I personally think that this would just prove that without perks the game can actually feel fun, Nurse and Blight players would actually have to be good and not rely on the crutch add-ons, and Survivors would actually have to have map knowledge and game sense
I think this would minimize the situations where killers are carried by perks against good solo q players and 4 man team would not be able to stack 4 bnps hyperfocus and conveniently placed boons, Ormond offering and 1 dead hard per player
What I am trying to say is your skill in this game would matter a little bit more and that's always satisfying
Last year in December me and my friend decided to do the power moves achievement together (so escape 8 times in pubs with 0 perks and 1 gen repaired) and even though it was hard we did it and it was one of the most fun times I had in DBD

I like the idea, I wouldn't mind at all

I think it should be a separate option so players can choose to play this way or not. Otherwise, I think less people will play for that week.

No, I will not play DbD if I can't throw a rock to the killer's face!

I don't see it happening, people would moan a lot. If they ever do it, will probably be in PTB server

I’d be down.
One comment though… somebody who isn’t good at blight is not going to be made good or carried by his addons.. just gotta point that out. 😂

Would defiantly be a fun test run

Same goes for nurse

2nd chances stack is weaker than before. As the old one you have to push through BT, DH, eat DS, to down again. Now you can hit BT off hook and DH disable, DS is too weak for people to use it.
Im so sure that without any addon, Trapper & Myer will be absolutely destroyed. Low tier killer almost need Corrupted intervention to have a decent start.

Yeah I'd be down

I can't imagine playing wraith without addons, but sure. For data's sake.

DBD would 100% benefit from having limited time game modes like this for a weekend every few months or so. Just an optional, opt in mode that is only around for a short time, and goes away before a hard 'meta' can emerge completely.
But the core game is far too unbalanced for these kinds of game modes to be around very long.
Just like 2v8. It'd be fun for a day, then people would just run Nurse/Nurse all the time and the mode would die.

No perks can be pretty boring to play. No addons/items added to that, yikes.

100% agree.

The game would just get boring with no loadout items. I think it would probably be killer sided because if survivors have no loadout that means they are completely predictable.
I think, at the end of the day, people will always complain about something. That's the point Otzdarva's video was trying to make.

They tried a vanillla experiment iirc. In general, the game is 'balanced' accounting for loadouts. Take those out of the equation and you'll just get hardcore camptunnel by daylight vs immersed gens-before-friends by daylight.

Yes, though maybe a PTB idea more than live servers but hell yes I would love to try a raw DBD experiment. I often play killer with no perks just for the hell of it... even win sometimes on perkless Trapper which is a ######### to me haha

People who play as nurse are just good or decent, people who don't play as nurse are not good
Like I suck with nurse , and I have a ton of killer experience and some what streak of genius
0 -
I don't really see the point of that. They aren't actually going to remove perks/offerings cause that would dull the game down massivily.
So you're just getting useless data.
Killing variety for balance sake is not the way to go. A unbalanced game with variety is better then a balanced game where everything is always the same

I'd be down to do it if accessibility perks like Shadowborn and Spine Chill were still available

Survivor without perks sound like a real chore.
I'd probably play for the experience, but might switch to killer pretty fast as that way I'd at least have a fun power to use.
