I hope this mod makes game more fun, we need it. I was hoping for 5 v 5 mod but i will take anything fresh.

I don’t get it?

Looks cool!

But is the objective the same? I don’t understand how the lights work.
1 -
everything is dark and that´s it i guess
1 -
We have to wait Jan 30 for details. Trailer does not tell us what we will need to do, it's just shows how it will look.

Looks really cool, not something that will ´´change the game forever´´ but it´s nice 😀

I hate games and movies that are too dark. I mean I guess I'll try a game or two to see if this is fun, but I have my doubts.
0 -
Seems like it's literally just dredge's nightfall but the killer can't see scratch marks and the map isn't illuminated for them. Honestly, that sounds incredibly underwhelming but maybe (hopefully) there's more to it.
1 -
I mean we’ve only seen a small portion of it so it still might be fun.

OMG... Nintendo Switch players will suffer a lot🤣

Ok but, what about filters? the light will turns on back with them
1 -
I think it's a substantial reduction of the drawing distance of the environment. Filters won't help you there.

That is pretty cool, I like the idea.
But I do wonder what happens if you play Dredge. Or how this is going to look on Freddy's Dream World.
1 -
i hope so
0 -
Gonna be running this mod as much as possible b/c the current atmosphere of maps absolutely sucks & this brings the 'horror' element back. Glad they're doing this finally.
4 -
I was thinking the same thing. Isn't that the 1 thing about Dredge's power that survivors basically universally hate. It's weird seeing ppl excited about it.
3 -
ghosty will be fun af to play as/against

We still have to hang on a hook not being able to do anything at all... I want the hook mechanic removed, it's so boring
1 -
Looks absolutely boring.
Was hoping for a game mode that actually changed the way we played the game, like 5v5, giant, zombie infection or just anything that just changes the main way gameplay enough to actually spice things up and not just be ''same game mode but with this little twist added'' or ''Copy and paste Dredge's Nightfall for everyone to be affected and call it a day''.

ugh, Ghostface matches🫣😭

I'm good with anything new in this game. Hope there will no scratch marks and TR, and it will be literally mode I've been dreaming about.
1 -
Think aura reading will work? I'm thinking scratched mirror Myers on normal maps...
0 -
How would you implement that? Do survivors just die? The hooks work as afew things all at once. It's not only health states, but also a time out while also giving an objective to teammates who have to unhook you. Quite abit of the game/perks wouldn't work if it was discarded.
1 -
I am already down for a future extremly rare offering which triggers the Lights Out event. At least the Art Style aspect of it.
3 -
I'm really interested to see how it's going to play !
I have always been upset to see that new reworked maps were too bright, loosing their sinister mood when getting reworked (and that's when they were not during actual daylight). While it's not exactly the same, at least we get something darker that has the deep and black fog which is always mention in lore.
It looks both eerie and unnatural, which is kinda what DBD's world should look like imo. I'm definitively going to look forward this !
2 -
It is really a pity. There have been suggestions for new game modes on the forums in the past, but why did they choose this mode, which is the most boring? We have already experienced this mode with Dredge and it is not interesting. Also, the fact that it's dark means it's not suitable for streaming, and it won't be exciting for streaming.

Additionally, BHVR has said in the past that splitting the matching mode could split people up and slow down matching, and that they have no plans to split the matching mode into two: casual mode and ranked mode. However, now that the number of active users of DBD is decreasing, why do we divide the mode into two? If this is possible, it would be better to create an unranked mode and a ranked mode for a limited time, and give titles to the top players in the ranked mode, which would increase motivation.

The same concept in recent horror games like RE7, adjustments to Hue and Brightness to add the element of creepy and jumpscares to the max.
0 -
common behavior W im hype!! This is just something to wet the beak before the other crazy modes.
1 -
That is NOT how filters work, specially if they reuse dredges nightfall as it obscures your loading distance not your brightness, what might be percieved as obscure brightness is a hud thing that was implemented after dredge ptb, that even filters do not change.
0 -
I'm hyped to play this. If it's fun i'll probably play dbd loads in the time it's available.
1 -
I hope it's not just Dredge's darkness mechanic. That effect gives me a massive headache and I have to DC or take chances on hook to not have a severe migraine the rest of the night from it.
0 -
They did it because it was the easiest to implement, or because it was the most popular choice on the surveys (doubtful.) It was a mode I was not interested in at all of course.
1 -
Limited?
As in time?
That would be awful because the trailer made me contemplate playing again.
0 -
Will probably help their framerate.
1 -
Just a small first look at what to expect:
Basically Survivors will be shrouded in Nightfall permanently (either that or there will be a new fog/mist effect used for this, but generally the same concept regardless, limited visibility).
Im honestly excited for this since I think the limited visibility will open up Killers to more stealth oriented playstyles instead of relying on regression, which means we could see a bit more build diversity. Either way, even if it is a simple gamemode, I like that it just mixes things up.
0 -
I dont believe this was one of the most voted game modes, there was just so many other betters ones listed.
I feel like they did this one because we know we can do it because of Dredge darkness
2 -
This could be an experiment to see if the game can support multiple game modes. Slapping together a limited time game mode sounds like a great way to check if multiple game modes can exist in this game at the same time.
0 -
I'm curious to see how it will work with Freddy's Dream World.

This is gonna be awesome, can't wait to see what kind of modifiers they come out with in the future too!
Post edited by EQWashu on1 -
Oooh can’t wait 😊😈
Post edited by EQWashu on1 -
If DbD could create enough alternative game modes to create a rotating cycle of them, even if it's just three modes and you get to play as one a month, that could add a lot to the game and help spice things up for the players who find the normal gameplay loop is getting stale.
If it's not too blinding, I'm interested in trying this one out.
1 -
I hope it's not just Dredge's Nightfall and there's some more elements implemented to spice up the gameplay.
Post edited by EQWashu on2 -
Why would a survivor ever want to play this?
Post edited by EQWashu on1 -
Looks like the darkness applies to the Killer as well. It's not just a Survivor debuff haha.
0 -
Not a debuff. Killer just use aura reading and scream perks like ultimate weapon. Then we have the add-ons that give aura reading outside of perks.
And worst of all is scratch Mirror Myers. Sweet christmas...
Wait a minute limited time modifier? So a FOMO game mode? Le sigh.
1 -
Because its a horror game 🤨
3 -
I really like the Nightfall ability for the Dredge. It'll be cool to see this idea implemented in the game. It'll make certain maps really scary like RPD and Midwich.
0 -
they want to try something not that big like 2v8 to see how the matchmaking feels and if players actually want to play anything besides the classic 5 gens vs 12 hooks
0 -
Horror, of course. All of us here love horror.
0 -
Looks pretty good. I only hope that we won't have the same situation as in the GoJ main building again, where there will be areas that are pitch black. I am fine with the dark but if I can't make out the wall that I'm running into then that is an issue.
