Casual matches that aren't for ranking purposes.
So I get the purpose of the ranking system and the competitive nature of it and I definitely think all of that should stay the same. However, it would be great if there were a way to add a 'casual' option-- matches that don't count for or against your rank and are more for trying out characters/perks you might not want to try out when you're running in matches with players who are really serious about ranking up.
I know there is a 'survive with friends' game mode, but you need to have enough people to make it like a real match, and it's not the same thing as being matched with random people (which is honestly a lot of the fun). I'm sure there are other people out there who are playing the game casually that would enjoy a chance to just have some fun throw-away matches every now and then and mix things up.

They have mentioned a non-ranked mode before. I think it would be cool to have the casual mode be perkless and the ranked as is (with perks).

This would be a great addition; If only there weren’t trolls though.
I like to roleplay as killer (dramatic actions and movement) but it’s hard when survivor teams don’t appreciate the horror aspect of Dead By Daylight. I still get jumpscared by my own illusions playing The Doctor...

You do realize that as killer you have more worries/fears than a survivor? just saying....0 -
I’m talking about the “original” core (and still central) aspect of the game.Master said:@TheTimeMachine said:

Mathieu Cote explained in the dev diary: “We don’t care if your character is scared, or not. What we want to know is; If the player is scared... excited.”
With the recent “ideas” the Devs shared in the QA; it seems they’re shifting some of this back maybe? With the change of certain survivor perks, perks that can have strong effects on a trial; It’ll be nice to see perhaps more interesting/healthy chases and stealthy gameplay.
Survivor players seem scared of the changes- and so am I! But this is a GOOD fear.0 -

That's fair. I mess around with different perk loadouts anyways, especially in the lower ranks. Okay, guys, THREE MODES: Casual, Ranked, and Hardcore (perkless).

I actually like the idea of a hardcore mode, haha. That'd be fun.
On that note, why not a mode where you can only use the perks associated with your character? That ups the challenge a lot imo.
