I honestly cant enjoy 2v8
Ive wanted 2v8 ever since my best mate started dbd
But this isnt fun
The que times being 20minutes i could look past
However games lasting 5 minutes cause gens are just popping constantly is not worth the que wait
Instead of running around with my killer friend doing fun things i feel like we have to rush everything otherwise the games over right as it started,right after waiting 20 minutes
Maybe lower gen speeds or add more? Surely people arnt enjoying quick games after a 20 to 30 minute wait time

I really don't get people saying killer is hard in this mode. From my experience most of my matches, especially the ones I have played with my buddy, are complete curbstomps. Survivors don't do gens and go down extremely fast for the most part.

Agreed and you can't blind or stun a killer to free other survivors I have only had one game where it was less then a 6k and survivors get in instantly so it doesn't bother them as much. I fund it really hard on the survivor side personally and find killer much easier in this game mode.

I think the novelty has worn off for me. I've played a fair few trials on both sides and I certainly get why people like it and the potential.
However, recently I've gone into more and more trials where the killer tactic is to slug and leave. It's become rather repetitive as a result. As for the killer side, the waiting time is too long and doesn't give me the enjoyment back in such brief trials.
Obviously, people will have different experiences. Maybe I'm just unlucky, and I certainly will advocate for this mode to stay as a good alternative as many do enjoy it. However, it's not for me. I'll wait for Chaos Shuffle.

It's just not fun on the survivor side unless you feel like being slugged for the majority of the time. Killer side I can see how it's fun because you can just roll over people almost instantly. Mode came out without much thought IMO.

Fundamental balance being in favor of survivors and steamrolling majority of survivors are entirely unrelated things, in every PvP games you'll stomp everything that is vastly lower than your skill levels, even as an absolutely weakest role

Same here, though I strongly believe MMR is off for matchmaking in this mode, if the team mates I have are anything to go by.
As survivor it seems pure RNG if I get lucky with team mates, as some games its a depressing stomp where nobody does gens and half of them hide as soon as they hear the TR, or its a gen rush and the killers are uncoordinated and low skill…
For that reason I feel I personally am done with this mode, it was fun for a few games but the RNG as far as team mates go is too frustrating for me

They should bring back generators time to 90 (or 80 seconds).
70 seconds Generators are kinda fast… but the mode is very fun, so I don't care 😅

I should’ve clipped where I chased a guy with hillbilly 4 gens popped in less than 14 secs was insane

Just focus on playing alongside your friend and have fun doing things that you could never do in the regular mode. Sweating in this mode is pointless.
There's no way to fix the queues. The killer experience is fresh and interesting, and the survivor experience is just a more restricted version of what they had already. Even BP boosts won't fix that problem.

If you increase gen time or do anything to make survivor more frustrating then don't be surprised if killer queues go up to 1 hour.

"Instead of running around with my killer friend doing fun things i feel like we have to rush everything otherwise the games over right as it started,right after waiting 20 minutes"
The sense of killer entitlement is real. You're saying you want to relax and just goof around with your friend as killers, and STILL expect to win. Killer mains got way too used to devs catering to them for years, now the tables are turning.

They didn't say they wanted to win, they said they wanted time. They waited in a 20 minute queue, and when they finally get a chance to play and have fun the match is over before they can do much.
2v8 is a mess. I try playing survivor and no one touches gens, the matches are awful. Play killer and now you find where all the gen-hugging survivors are. It's the same problems of 1v4 magnified.

I can understand OP to a certain point. Yesterday I saw a game where the Survs finished all gens in under 3 minutes without losing a health state. Imagine waiting 20+ minutes for this.
On the other hand the Survs doesn't have any other objective than doing gens, no hexes to worry about, no flshlight saves, no Pig traps, no Pinhead cubes etc.
This gamemode is new and will stay unbalanced for a while + MMR doesn't excist

Bro did you even read what i posted?
I didnt mention anything about winning
The post is about games lasting long so the wait time is worth it
Idc if i dont kill anyone if ive had a fun game chasing someone that lasted 10mins+ i would be happy
I get its a new mode and its to be expected just surely some little changes would make it better for now

You asked for slower gen speeds which would be a direct nerf to survivors, and would make the game easier for killers. If your only concern was game length you should have also added to your post that you want survivors buffed or killers nerfed in other ways, in order to maintain the same balance we have now but with longer games.

You lose in 5 minutes? That's kind of a feat.
I've yet to lose a match as killer and I've only played with randoms so far.
In my experience, matches last about 10 minutes.

I’ve played 3 rounds of 2 V8 and that’s enough . It’s a cool idea just poorly executed. This seems to be a pattern with this game. Every issue that the base game has on both sides just double it. Slugging still happens camping still happens now there are just two killers doing it. The killer wait times are over 10 minutes and if they need to offer a 400% incentive to play survivor that’s a sign of a problem .

I have escaped every single match as a survivor, killer ive had some rough matches. Biggest problem for me is the queue times. Maybe you should have put US/EU servers together for this mode… honest i dont mind having ping if it takes my queue times back to normal.
Also i havent gotten slugged yet once nor has my teammates as a survivor. I havent done it as a killer eather so people saying they are getting slugged and bled out every match… X for doubt.

That's a huge mistake, a pretty huge mistake
That and the fact you have only 8 gen and not ten (since we are 10 player and not 8)0
