Is it just me or the killer queue time in 2v8 takes forever? It's been like 20 minutes and I'm still waiting for a match.

    yeah, I’d mentioned the same thing on another post. Some one suggested using The Nurse as she may be a less popular pick. Tried that too but still waiting an eternity!
    Can get into a match as a survivor pretty much instantly!!!!

    Survivor queue blood point bonus is 400%… Waiting 30 minutes as nurse and can't find a match, I have no idea how other killers get in. This is like my 4th attempt.

    There is no point in queing up as Killer as it takes way to long, waited so long to play Killer duo just for me to not be able to.

    And no, I know many people think the same way as me and that's why it's taking so long.

    If it's anything like my experience, Survivors are just not playing the game mode. I seem to notice that despite the number of survivors doubling, the number of survivors actually completing generators did not change! :P. Back to normal mode for me unless I can pick up an SWF squad.

    How can you be tunneled by a mechanic that was copy/pasted from one of the best tunneling killers? In a mode where you'll get "scout mode" teammates urbaning away after uncaging you? In a mode with zero anti-tunnel perks? Yea this will go about as well as lights out mode once killers figure that out.

    400% of 5k is still less than an average killer score so I'll stick with that role thanks.

    I don't know if you could relay this feedback to the devs, but would it be possible to enable pipping in the 2v8 mode? I would be glad to fill out the survivor queue if it allowed me to work towards my monthly grade rewards.

    Castlevania is my dream chapter and I want to bank blood points for it! But I don't have any incentive besides blood points I can spend now to play survivor now that I've finished all of the survivor tome challenges.

    Apart from the fact it wasn't really copy-pasted was it? Because the Killer cannot see where you were caged, nor can they see when you are taken out of the cage, nor can they stand around your cage because you simply move to another part of the map.

    Have you even played 2v8 yet? I've been playing all afternoon, and it's heavily survivor-sided. Almost every game has been 6+ out. Do you have an offensive name that's getting killers to go out of their way to tunnel you? It's extremely detrimental to the killers to try and tunnel someone in the mode.

    Thanks I'm so glad you were watching my match to see what happened. Enjoy coping with those 20 min queues wondering why survivors won't want to play this mode.

    This is how Pyramid Head's cages work, though.

    The only difference is that he can hear when you get rescued from a cage. I don't know if killers get the notification in 2v8 mode, I haven't played a killer match yet in it.

    But otherwise yeah, Pyramid Head can't see the aura of his cages, and if he manages to find a cage and tries to camp it, it relocates the caged survivor to a different part of the map.

    They don't get a notification, this was showcased in the Dev stream/reveal. I apparently have not played against enough Pyramid Heads as I was unaware that you can be moved if the Killer comes near you.

    All I know is normal lobbies have 400% bonus switching between either side and just played a killer game in normal lobbies as Singularity and couldn't even use my power. Button input wouldn't work but somehow got 3 kills against a flashlight swf!

    • I'm not joking, on my server(europe) the surv incentives reached 400%. no one wants to play surv🤣

    When it comes to solo queue, I actually find the 2v8 mode to be much more fun than 1v4 for survivor. Which is odd because I thought it would be really unfun for survivor.

    Killers can't camp you, if they tunnel you it's just because you were unlucky or careless, it's hard for them to do obnoxious playstyles which are prevalent in the 1v4 mode like hit & run. There's no gen regression or blocking constantly interfering with your gen progress. No busted add-ons. It's hard for the killers to slug all the survivors to death due to there being so many. Don't need to worry about 3gens due to there being so many generators.

    You also don't have to groan and roll your eyes when a survivor gets on a generator with you because it's costing the team efficiency (unless there's 1 gen left, of course). There's so many survivors spread out that working on different gens is impossible anyway.

    The 2v8 mode solved every pain point that the game has which usually makes solo queue survivor unfun for me. I would gladly play more 2v8 survivor if I could pip from it.

    honestly the idea of 2v8 sounds way more fun on the killer side will have to see for myself

    I was talking more about powers like becoming invisible, placing traps, teleporting around vs watch progress bar go up slightly faster or run fast for 3 seconds.

    I think zooming around the map permanently and whacking a survivor that got caught on your buddy's trap is way more fun than the ability to heal a caged survivor a little bit faster and then essentially playing perkless.

    Maybe it's because I already play mostly perkless. I only ever run information and anti-tunnel perks. So survivor feels about the same to me.

    Also another thing I didn't think of: having a bad team mate or losing someone early in 2v8 is way less punishing. In 1v4, losing a survivor at 3-5 gens basically makes the match unwinnable unless your team plays extremely well and the killer throws hard. Even losing an ally at 2 gens in 1v4 can be very difficult to recover from.

    Every killer has basekit Nowhere to Hide, but there's no Distortion rats on the survivor side, either. So you're not stuck in those infuriating situations in solo queue where your ally with no hook states is hiding in a corner avoiding chase with Distortion.

    I’m loving the mode - I hope it gets made a full time alternative mode.

    Like the mode, hating going against a Huntress every bloody match.

    Making it where you can play the same killers would probably help a lot. But might throw balance out the window. Huntress has the highest pick rate on average so it takes me 15-20 minutes on average as well to find a match.

    alright survivor feels really bad to play in this mode stick to buddy killer guys

    Here too 400%. Killer wait over 15 minutes - and you need it for the challenges.

    I have to say i got some very unfair situations.

    I am not sure if i like it that much.

    And it is heavily killer sided if the killers are decent and the survs are not.

    A lot of killers are likely duoing since it's the first time you can do that.

    Plus you can't duplicate killers and there's only 5 to pick from. So if you want to play a killer that many others are queueing for, you are going to be waiting longer.

    This isn't really surprising is it? Of course more players are going to want to play as killer compared to survivor in this game mode. You could give survivors a guaranteed 20k bloodpoints plus 400% bloodpoint bonus for bloodpoints earned during the match and you will still have a discrepancy.

    It's not just that two killer synergy is a bright new shiny toy, it just feels powerless on survivor when two killers work together to down you and because they get aura reading it's super easy. Not saying its killer sided or us vs. them garbage like that, in pure game play balance terms there's a cost to using this strategy, this isn't a balance concern (talking about balance in something like this is silly of course). This is a 'is it fun' concern and I like to have a bit of agency and decision making in my games. Getting two tapped when there's nothing I can realistically do is just awful.

    Even more then that survivors are perfectly used to working with multiple people. There is very little new in this mode for them aside roles which are basically on the most part modified perks. So yeah. I'd have been extremely surprised if queues weren't massively tilted to killers even if survivors didn't need four times the players.

    Really should have had some survivor bots for people who just want to have a go now. There's really not much new for survivors in this mode, is it honestly surprising the queues are that titled? Make such modes give bloodpoints too. Lesser of course but yeah, more single player/vs. AI modes please.

    It's giving me sensory overload tbh. I finished the Tome and got a horrible migraine. I'm sticking to normal mode. I wonder if others are experiencing the same? It could be putting people off

    You'll probably need to crank that incentive up to "a million bloodpoints a match" to even out the queue times.

    A lot of survivor players seem to be returning to the normal queue now. =/ That won’t make it any easier for killers to play 2v8.

    It's because the new game mode is incredibly survivor sided, which is why nobody is playing survivor.

    Yeeah almost like this is another game mode tilted killer side XD

  • Rawrbot5k

    Possible way to amend the queue times. Killer players choose at the same time. RNG Priority pick first, so person A. gets to pick first, then person B. gets whats left. Then the next game person B. may or may not get priority picking up to the RNG gods. At least it will make game queues go faster for popular picks. I personally dont care really which killer i get to play as long as i get to try it out a few times.

    I gave up trying tbh… survivor BP bonus is 400% so I guess I will just do that!

    I don't think that's a logical conclusion to make.

    If anything, it'd be the other way around.

    This right here, I've done some simple test. For me huntress has the highest, followed by nurse, then billy, wraith, and trapper

  • tjt85

    That's not a bad idea. I wonder if making the choice of Killer totally random might speed things up a little, too. I wouldn't play as Nurse or Wraith by choice, but I'd be fine with it if it meant for much quicker Killer queues.

    But this could be a little over whelming if you're just trying out Killer for the first time ever because of the new mode. Imagine playing your first ever Killer game as Nurse. Oof…
