What old things do you wish returned?
Overall I think most changes have helped the game go in a more positive direction but there are some changes that haven't really been that great. What are some old things you would like to have return?
Some examples of this could be (not saying any of these should come back):
Old freddy
Old hatches
Old hillbilly
Huntress's Old iri heads
Hawkins map
Old ruin
Etc

I'd love to have Old ruin (either original or the other one) since it's such garbage now.
Hawkins was fun despite being problematic
Old freddy while weak was much more interesting than he is today.
Hillbilly...I tried him last night and the last time I touched him was pre big nerf...what a sad difference for him:/

I would die outta happiness for the old animations like back in the day the characters movement was just nicer and visually alot of the maps have lost there charm like autohaven is so sad compared to the old also old loop walls ifykyk

Most things i'd rather stay buried and forgotten, only things i kinda want back are the first reworked version of Lery and Oni's ptb chase music.
Out of all the things i despise the most and don't ever want to see re-added to the game, these are my top 10.
- Old Freddy (I feel nothing but scorn and disdain for your existence.)
- Old Billy (Genuinely pleased that he was removed.)
- Original Hatch Mechanic (Nothing but a time waster when it came to hatch standoffs.)
- Hawkins (Worst indoor map.)
- Old animations (Looked utterly clunky and bad.)
- Old graphics and aesthetics (Hated everything about it, especially the map tints.)
- All reworked Killer's original kits or powers
- All of the older versions of perks
- Original mori function
- Moonlight Offerings

I'd love to see Old Freddy return, he was (well, still is) my favourite killer by far.

I wish for the old hatch to return some day, but that will be impossible without heavy nerfs to swf and itself.
I started playing dbd like 3-4 months before hatch was nerfed and loved those few moments where i could pull a 2-3man escape through hatch with randoms.
I have always believed bhvr could have tried several nerfs to the hatch instead of just nuking it in a single patch

Old POV chase music for Myers, Doctor, Demo and Oni
Old Huntress' Lullaby
Old Freddy but modernized to fit todays standards
Hawkins
Cut Thru U Single + Edge of Revival combo for the Trickster (it was busted but god was it fun)

The old strong Billy
5 Sec DS, however still deactivates at endgame
old spine chill
Strong ruin and pop, killers need some love (saying that as main surv)
old Coldwind Farm and Autohaven maps if they only stay for Halloween each year would be nice.

Hawkins
Night time on Coldwind
The mature attitude of other players and the ability to accept a loss without blaming everything except their own performance, and ability to move onto the next game without taking out their frustrations on entirely unrelated players.

I totally agree with you on missing some of the older features and maps. I particularly miss the Hawkins map and can imagine how fun it would be to play the dredge on it. As for the Ruin, I think bringing back the old version where it keeps going until found could make the game more challenging and exciting.
On a side note, I do wish they would make some maps darker and scarier to enhance the atmosphere.

For the second part, that was a thing at one point and just about everyone hated it

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Never existed to begin with. Saying anything else is mostly looking back through rose tinted glasses. There always have been whining and complaining about everything from the beginning.

Old Hatch, Jigsaw Box Camping Pig.
No basekit Borrowed Time.
Things like that.

Hawkins. Hands down

- Old Freddy
- Old Billy
- Nighttime on coldwind
- old ruin (the gen regression one that was good not the skillcheck one)
- Old pop
- Old self-care (or maybe buff it so at least healing speed reduction doesn't work on it at all, make it the "thing" it does)
- Old maps (pre breakable walls, silly mechanic)
- Old spine chill + Resilience fast vault build.
0 -
Being able to spin on the ground when slugged.
I don't miss how long hatch standoffs were and I hate hook grabs but there was something about hatch grabs that I miss.
I miss old hatch mechanic because it made 3 gens less likely to go on forever. I'd take back old mori for old hatch.
I miss there being less perks in the game. I'd take back old versions of perks if we removed couple years worth of new perks that have come into the game.
Hawkins
Night time Coldwind
Old graphics - they felt more gritty. New graphics feel too clean/pretty/generic.
Old Quentin face.
Maps not having breakable walls.
Huntress song not playing on repeat whole match - only hearing the laugh when she hadn't found anyone for a bit.
Killers all having the same original chase music.
The old HUD being across the bottom.
1 -
Hawkins for sure, I'd take it even without a rework tbh; I'd just bring back the ST chapter so Demogorgons aren't so rare to see.
Also old Iron Will & old Stridor.

I can only agree with that, if Red Ranked people could only encounter Red Ranked people, it would make games more fair for low MMR Killers.
0 -
Seems like some people forget how busted old Iri head was. It can stay gone.
2 -
Old Spirit.
She was the only killer who made me genuinely excited whenever i went up against her but now? Not so much as it’s very generic and dull and it’s so ridiculous the amount of free information i get from her phasing as a survivor with ease.
i do miss old Spirit dearly…
2 -
No way. That low bellybutton pov was horrible. With a controller he was impossible to run on console.
Nope nope nope

With Wraith's lunge coming outta cloak?
Yasssssssssssss

* Coldwind
* Billy (Not a player but he was menacing to face)
* Old fog (Current fog is mist) infact, they should call the experts Mist Whisperers.
* Hawkins
* Old rank system (If I wanted sweatfests, I could go get them instead of being given them every game regardless)

I want all old busted things back.
Give me old OoO, so i can make killer run for infinite at Midwich.
Give me old mori, so i can end survivor after their first hook.
Give me old Dead Hard, so i can greed loops again.
Give me old Nurse, so i can use Starstruck build on her again.

80 second gens
The game was much more intense and thrilling back then imo

The first and third points are refused, the second and last one are accepted.

Nah, you will take all or non. Deal or not, can't wait all day Sir.

Old Hangman's Trick... on top of what everyone else said

I want OG Freddy back to some degree because the power was really unique and fitting. The current Freddy doesn't really portray the aesthetic of A Nightmare on Elm Street very well. I say to some degree because OG Freddy did need some buffs and changes in some areas. They should keep the teleporting and dream clock aspect of the current power. Changes from the older power could include making the survivors that are transitioning into the dream state suffer from the incapacitated effect, and make the transition only last 5 seconds, and I'd say he'd be improved from before. He had such a cool tracking power that I miss from back then. Also the animation of those orange souls that appeared around his hands whenever he pulled a survivor into the dream world was amazing. His dream world was an actual hindrance to the survivors too compared to the current Freddy.

The atmosphere. I remember back to the Scorching Summer BBQ event years ago. A time when the game still felt genuinely balanced (or as well as you could get for a game like this) and people weren't constantly at each other's throats, constantly complaining at every little thing. The game was a lot of fun to play at the time and it was something I didn't mind rushing home from what I was doing to hop on for a bit with friends. Now it feels more like a chore I do to keep up with things

The only thing I want back is nighttime for coldwind. That's all that matters to me because it's so bright.

I miss old Quentin tbh. He actually looked sleep deprived and had more accurate hair (Plus his P3 head had Freddy claw marks)

even though i do not want them back, my survivor matches with my loot build felt like adventures before the hatch rework. (never played in hatch stand-off times, i mean after that)

SkyBilly and SkyDemo
Seriously, they didn't give an advantage to the killer they were just plain fun - and most times when you did pull it off the survivors loved it too!

Ah yes, leaving the map!

They should bring back time-limited cosmetics and remove that restriction. It's stupid and anti-consumer.
3 -
last patch DH: cause even jesus use dead hard.
flashlight spamming: was toxic but very fun.
old freddy: way more true to his movies.
Orginal eruption: before it got buff.

I like playing sneaky boy, I'm rather new so I never got a chance but the moon thing sounds awesome for me.

Wow... I... I can't believe we all forgot about old BBQ and wglf bp stacks.

Those were the days. Perks and addons giving extra bp was awesome

5 second DS stun. It's pointless to run in it's current state, and tunneling has gotten out of control as a result.

The one steve cosmetic i never bought

The ability to leap off of buildings as Demo without hitting an invisible wall.
And old Freddy.

Flashlights. They keep ruining them since last year for some reason.
