What Your Expectations for New Year of DbD

In the last satisfaction survey they had questions about new gamemodes, so maybe this is the year it finally happens?

I don't care about new survivors or killers - I want quality of life updates and improvements to existing content. I'll list the QoL changes I personally want but I'll also state why I know they would make a difference for everyone.

• Survivors see other survivors perks in the lobby and on the menu while in game.
  • This would allow all survivors who cannot communicate with each other to know exactly what role their allies intend to have for the duration - No communication needed just an understanding of what will happen during the game.
• The Tome allows players to select multiple challenges at once (On each side) and adjustments to values are made to compensate the fact that multiple challenges can be done at once.
  • Currently if you bother with tome challenges it's frustrating playing through an entire game and not being given the option to progress unless you tunnel vision your objectives throwing the game - This is mostly a survivor issue but this is why you have some very poor quality games
• Sacrificial Ward lowered to Uncommon Rarity
  • If BHVR doesn't want to do anything about map offerings then they should make their bandaid solution more readily available for all players - You're already sacrificing the ability to potentially get more bloodpoints that round by using your offering to veto a map instead of a BP offering or what ever else. The map offering itself is literally just a map veto for something that may not even be used by the other team - It shouldn't be so expensive on the bloodweb or Rare for that matter.
• Disconnections offer a concede option to all players within lobby when specific conditions are met
  • No one really wants to endure a game where the other side clearly doesn't care to play it out if it's already looking like it won't be a normal game - If there's an early disconnect allow a return / requeue option for the other players in lobby. Typically what happens is a survivor disconnects and then the others have to either play it out in a severely handicapped game, just let the killer kill them, or say ######### it and disconnect. Having a proper compensation for players time being wasted and a proper punishment for the Disconnect should be the focus here.
• Skull Merchant's Drones can no longer be placed when the scan overlaps a generator
  • I don't care to justify my reason other than I am ######### sick of 30 minute+ games where the SM focuses only on a 3 gen. I predicted the changes would only make 3 gens worse and more frustrating and guess what it did.

I could rant for literal hours about many other things but right now this is what is ruining my games the most so I'll complain about it.

Nothing special. i learned do not expect too much from BHVR, always the same, chapters, perks, maps, event, always the same boring things. Anything that is not crossprogression i will not matter about it

Swamp rework tbh

Edit: And a Twins masquerade item

Anti camping stuff and a new game mode that's just like 50 survivors and one killer and survivors get points for being alive the longest and killers get points for catching survivors within a time limit. No gens, no hooks, just find people hiding and smack them.

And Devotion level increasing iri shard gains so I don't get depression every time I level up and get a tiny amount of shards for 6 hours of being camped by skull merchants.

Swamp visual overhaul

A visually overhaul for all killers from Wraith to Oni (Excluding Nurse & Ghostface.)

DBD as an IP expanding into other game genres like Fighting Games, Narrative driven games or just appearing in other games in general as guest characters.

More preset slots for cosmetics and loadouts.

More AI related killer powers.

I bring up a old build since that's what would be meta with that change to DS, and having a longer than 15 min queue time is something any player should want to avoid.

OTR is objectively better at dealing with hard-tunneling compared to old DS. You can evade the killer with IW, and since it works on both hooks the value is higher. The only times it is weaker vs old DS is the passive threat for players not running it or a killer removing a survivor that is on death hook. DS is better as a single proc and OTR is better with both.

I mentioned SB with OTR since getting hit off hook with OTR isn't an issue if you are using SB. The only thing the killer can do is let the survivor farm you off hook and they can then body block while you speed off with the speed boost+IW. It would also make more sense to fix the restriction that OTR has rather than making survivors unable to be removed from the game and be able to abuse anti-tunnel perks as an offensive tool.

I think they could find something to make the devotion system somewhat meaningful. While not a priority imo, it would be nice if, I don't know, with each devotion level your max BP storage increased by some amount, or like Eelanos mentioned here, the iridescent shards rewarded became bigger (though I can see why they wouldn't be interested on making the currency easier to obtain since it could lead to less investment from the players in Auric Cells per say).

Also I wonder if they will at least mention or show some interest on implementing extra moris and further rewards to prestige levels.

Console optimization

I wish they just add the automatic bloodweb before going into prestige 1. I mean I know it’s supposed to be somewhat of reward. But it would be also nice to have not level up manually before prestige 1.
