    It is also interesting to play for the survivors. But the fact is that many survivors have become interested in playing for the killers, and not just for the survivors. Therefore, the total number of killers has increased due to yesterday's survivors.
    I used to only play for survivors, but now I play for both sides in this 2v8 mode.

    In general, I see no reason to be outraged, because now I find the game for the killer in just 3-5 minutes. The excitement subsides, because few killers and the same locations get bored. I hope to see 2v8 mode with all the maniacs and locations. Playing for Ghostface and Pig will be fun)

    dbd is not a horror game AT ALL. It's a party chase/hide and seek game

    II'd Like to see thus maybe as a Blood Hunt or Blood Feast game mode maybe for a week ever 2 or 3 months.

    2v8 will become even more stale than 1v4 once the novelty wears off. There just isn't nearly as much strategy or mechanics to work with. 2v8 is fine for a casual mode but for most who like to engage with the game at a deeper level, it will quickly become boring.

    It would kill the game because its better! Its less sweaty, competitive... more fun and somehow more balanced.

    Keep the 1v4 for the sweaty competitive players and let us relax in 2v8

    Removing 2v8 is fine. Freaking out and boycotting the game over a mode that we asked for, and got (TO BE TESTED) is like saying you wont play the game anymore until the next snow man event because the (UNFINNISHED) and said to (PERMANENT ONCE FINNISHED) game mode, isnt complete enough to keep in the game for now. We are lucky we got it at all and it is coming back with more stuff to enjoy later.

    Queue time sucks, no incentives for killer meaning you end up with maximum 40k bloodpoints out of a match.

    Waiting time is 20 minutes + 10 minutes match time means you get 60-70k bloodpoints average per hour. It's not worth my time.

    If more killers were allowed for this mode, I would also love if it stayed. BUT as this is not the case, I would rather play normal mode than get the x's time Wraith with Huntress.

    It reminds me of one of the worst eras in the game, where you would see nothing else but Nurse once you passed Rank4.

    One of the devs or mods (can't remember who) mentioned that the long queue times for killers in 2vs8 are because there aren't enough survivors.

    A lot of players want to play as killers with their friends. I'm not sure if this is why the queue times are long in 1vs4 too, but they have definitely gotten longer for killers since 2vs8 was introduced.
