400%BP is not enough to decrease lobby times for killers
I think its safe to say most of players don't really care about Bloodpoints at this point
Survivors need something to be added to these incentives, such as Double XP
In fact, double XP for the least played role in the normal game is also more than welcome
Please devs

Mandy already stated in another threat that there is no shortage on the Survivor side - Player who want to feel and play the new Killer experience won't stop that - even for 1000% BP they wouldn't switch sides, I suppose
3 -
They really should include XP bonus in the role incentive. Earning more iri shards and rift progress is a better incentive than just BP.

Not a shortage, but still a huge imbalance between killer and survivor. XP might convince some players who dislike the long killer queue times to switch. Personally, I haven't enjoyed 2v8 survivor much, so I'm back in the 1v4 queue (which is also not fast, I'm working on other stuff while I wait for matches) to see if I can get the Skilled Huntress achievement to pop. I'd go back to 2v8 survivor for a double XP bonus.
Allowing players to earn points by participating as survivor in 2v8, and those points going towards lessening your wait in the killer 2v8 queue, would also be welcome. As is, trying to play survivor in 2v8 feels like teammate-induced misery roulette with no purpose or reward.

It can't hurt though can it? I'm sure there will be some people that will see the bonus and switch to survivor, which would absolutely help.

No shortage? Alright

Sure, whatever (don't take this disregarding pls)
I can only speak for myself - when my Hubby and I are at home together we queue up as Killers.. And if it takes 30 minutes. You could offer us as much bonus for the Survivor side as you want - we won't take it. This mode is limited for now and we will suck up every second of it. And I'm 100% sure that we're not the only ones who think this way (and if he's not at home, I'll play with my friends as Killers.. Only taking the Survivor if actually NOBODY is available for Killer).

Might be. Everyone can play as and what they wish/prefer :)

I wish they could come up with something to entice people to play more survivor but as a killer player during this event I can say for me there is no bonus they could offer that would make me switch roles right now. We've all played with a swf before but nobody has played with a killer friend before. This is a completely new experience and it's possible this could be the only chance. If they decide not to make this mode permanent in the future then I would like to enjoy it while I can. I'm sure others have the same point of view so I'm not sure what they could actually do to fix ques.

Here’s hoping it does become a permanent game mode. They can make tweaks, but I think it should stay

400% is not that much really good match you earn probably 120-150K with it. But on killer you earn easily 100K+ when 100% bonus and using cake and if someone brings also cake you earn easily even more. It's not that much more either what I earned with survivor before with 100% bonus and cake. Also the fact someone usually brings cake too.

Double XP, maybe throw in some Iri Shards, you'll attract more experienced players to the survivor role. As a reminder, Bloodpoints are great if you're still relatively new to the game, or play very casually, but for more experienced players who already have most or even all, in some cases, of the roster prestiged the offer of extra bloodpoints just doesn't matter.

At this point i find surv matches instant as a solo, no matter when i play 2v8. But as killer i still need to wait 5-15 minutes. But i have so much more fun on both sides, i waited years for that. Really hope one day this mode will be a permament alternative with all killers to play. Might also help with the queue times. So we would have standard MMR DBD, but also no MMR 2v8. Something for everyone.

What I want is a fastpass
If you've played Survivor about 4 times, I'd like a feature that prioritizes matching on the killer side.
3 -
400% is good when the matches are shorter than standard ones, which these ones are. So it adds up really fast when I wanna play for an hour here and there. I can fit more 2v8 games in that time than regular. I've gone back to normal mode now though, had a 2v8 game yesterday that made me decide 400% wasn't worth it though lol I think everyone has a breaking point no matter the incentive
0 -
I'm finding it's also slow at finding other survivors, so I think the issue is the fact that team killers are being prioritized. On top of that, 2 of the same killer can't be picked and with a very small selection of killers, you're right. This was a bad design.

Thats a faulty system for dbd, people will just play a survivor match and die as fast as possible
2 -
they are never gonna do iri shards like that, but the double xp already helps with the shards anyway
1 -
It would have to be a points system based on participation, a combination of things, so the person has to play and be a decent teammate.
1 -
Probably because I've done my survivor challenges, and now I need my killer challenges. I'll wait the 15 minutes.
0 -
They should consider throwing in Iri Shards though.

man the only incentive they need to put in to actually make people play this game mode is make hook instead of cages which in turn give survivors some ells to do besides gens let them get pallets saves and such the mode is so boring because you can do nothing besides gens on tip of the killer be more op than they are but yet survivors can't even bring in an item or even if you can't bring in items buff the items from chest for this mode only their no reason not too it not a serious mode at all eather and killer be tunneling and proxy camping the cage spawn location so it also on killer to not resort to regulars DBD plays other wise most people just going to play regular were they can actually do something against the killer
1 -
They are not always short if killers camp 3 gen which can lead some really long matches in 2vs8. That stragedy has started to become more common. Normally regular mode bp gain is not far off with 100% bonus especially killer I had even many matches 200K bp. So yeah I think it should be at least 500-600% bonus or double xp also.
