Chaos Shuffle Has Been Extended

Nope! I count myself lucky that I haven't had to pay the high price of reviving a team mate for an entire health state 😂 who would want that?

This is awesome. People were really enjoying it and there's nothing going on gameplay wise for the next 2 weeks so extending this until D&D chapter is awesome.

I wouldn't be opposed to making it a permanent mode, but i'd like to know what the devs think about doing that.

It's very nice to see the community enjoy this modifier enough for BHVR to extend it. Personally, I'm enjoying addon-less M1 only Knight in this mode, so I'll probably keep doing that.

HUGE W

now make it permanent :3

I’m very glad they took the feedback from us, I generally love this mode a lot, them extending it is proof that they do listen, which is promising!

I’d love for them to make it permanent if possible!

MAKE IT A PERMANENT MODE, IT'S WAY 2 GOOD TO NOT BE PERMANENT. IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO RANDOMIZE PERKS, LIKE A NEW GAME EVERY MATCH.

Chaos Shuffle is the most fun I've had in DBD for years. Great the event has been extended but I will still be very sad to see it go.

Big brain decision made here! Thank you so much!

Please make this permanent. It's clearly amazingly popular, it's a great advertising tool for people wanting to try out certain perks, it's almost the perfect casual mode for those wanting to escape the usual meta and - at least in my experience - because it's more chilled people are a lot more friendly and agreeable in chat.

This mode would be a huge for the game. Even if it becomes permanent in this state, with changes towards more randomization later down the line after the 2v8, I would absolutely be spending more time on this game. The best thing you guys have done in some time, and you have done some great things recently especially, so that says a lot!

I don't think you'd want an extra perk slot to do that.

We need a robust, base system that prevents tunnelling from being so effective.

Same. I'll be in Chaos mode forever if it sticks around. It's literally breathed new life into the game for me. People have been asking for ranked vs unranked mode for so long, and I've honestly been against it because I know what this playerbase is like and plenty of competitive players with meta perks would play unranked just for the chance to steamroll casual players. This mode is probably the closest we can get to separating competitive and casual play without people ruining it.

I'm fine with a true chaos mode as long as it's temporary. But if they add a permanent chaos mode then it should not include random add ons. First of all, add ons are consumed on use. Players should never be forced to consume things they don't want to consume. Even if they were willing to make it so that add ons wouldn't be consumed if they were randomly assigned it is still super problematic since a lot of killer addons can negatively effect the player. For instance, I'd be pretty mad if I was playing Hillbilly and I got the add on that makes it so my chainsaw doesn't down survivors but gave me more bloodpoints.

I think what most people want isn't random items, addons or offerings. What they want is the most broken things to be restricted to make the experience more casual friendly. There is a much easier way to do this than making things random. Just make is so players can't bring anything over green rarity to the match. That would be much fairer, simpler and easier to implement.

There's a lot less stress and responsibility while playing since you don't really get to decide your kit before going in, I'm hooked tbh

Really? I found the mode more stressful especially as killer. Alot of my matches as killer while I was trying to finish the challenge felt just as stressful and sweaty as normal DBD. Sure I didn't have to deal with some of the annoying survivor perks but most groups still came in with the best medkits and toolboxes. Gens still felt like they flew by. I was so stressed out honestly especially when I got perks like insidious...

Maybe I've just been getting more favorable matches, but I think the lack of gen slowdown is balanced a little by survs not being able to control whether they have exhaustion perks or other strong options like Deli or Unbreakable. 4 Toolboxes is always scary, but I honestly feel like I've got more going for me than before considering I hardly ever run more than one or at most two slowdown perks at a time.

But yeah, sometimes you have your bad games where the survs bring out the big guns itemwise and get good perks, meanwhile the game gives you Shattered Hope for the third time in a row (seriously what were the chances of that) although I'd say the fact this is a more casual mode has generally just decreased the feeling to rush all the time. It's part of why I'm slowly warming more and more up to the idea of a casual and ranked que.

I think you might just be burnt out on the game tbh. Regardless of the random perks, this is still DBD, with all the boons and curses that come with it. If even just a match is enough for you to call it a night, maybe it's time to take a break? I've been here since launch, and ended up taking a somewhat substantial break when Twins released. After returning the game has felt fresh and I don't feel as inclined to take things as seriously as before, because it's simply the nature of the game.

So in short, "maybe you are just tired, play something else for a week. Try Civilization or something."
