Modes, Events, and Permanence. What do you think should be Permanent?

I'm curious what the hivemind thinks here. I personally think the modes have been good, healthy changes of pace for the game that allow casual players like me to experience the game in a new way. I also think putting events in a separate queue has been much healthier for the game overall during events. They've really allowed weaker Killers a chance to shine and given different gameplay styles more attention, highlighting that this game doesn't HAVE to be a sweatfest to be fun. So, what are your thoughts on this? If any of these options return, what do you think is best?

I also have included some hypotheticals here. Thoughts on these are appreciated.

Lights Out - I really enjoyed the tense horror feeling in DBD again, and the challenge of locating people/things with lack of info!

Joke Modes - I liked My Little Oni and would like a rotating "goofy gimmick" random effect queue.

Chaos Shuffle - I liked the challenge of not being able to pick my perks, and the lessened overall reliance on meta in this mode due to it.

2v8 - I think it will be healthier for the game overall to have an alternate game mode like this.

No Gain/No MMR Queue - A space for casuals where certain perks/items/Killers have been banned.

Comp/Ranked MMR Queue - A hardcore space where you compete for prizes or glory and can see MMR.

Event Queues - Every event should change the game significantly and be in a separate event Queue, so people who don't want to participate do not have to.

    A different event/mode queue per week, and have that permanent, and where you gain no pips or rank ro anything. Extrictly casual so people dont go to tryhard there

    2 v 8 will be permanent, or at least is confirmed to come more than once.

    I would also like to see Chaos Shuffle and Lights Out return sometime.

    About Chaos Shuffle: A good QOL change would be to allow a free choice to ban one perk from their personal loadout. Many complained about often getting No Mither and other unfun perks.

    About 2v8: At least make the normal gameplay more balanced before trying to make 2v8 balanced.

    I am not sure if anything should be permanent at this time.

    I think the limited events are a good thing to keep things fresh.

    I guess if a mode is permanent it would become boring. You already saw even the limited got boring after a short time.

    I randomize every trial already, even as everybody else chooses, and do well.

    With "Chaos Shuffle", it levels the field and makes things a lot more relaxing for me, so yes I am biased towards this mode. It's the most fun I've had in this game and when reading the comments then the response was overwhelmingly positive. Even the 2v8 mode has had its fair share of detractors (although, plenty more like it).

    Chaos Shuffle is the way forward for me, albeit I'm all for BHVR to keep experimenting. The more options, the better.
