Things BHVR should add to DBD(Updated)
Removal of disconnect timer:
Right now, people are still quitting early via attempts and afk skill check fail. Removing the timer for Survivor would cut down on those types of cases. Remove it from killer when Killer bots are introduced.
Reduction in price/include original chapters:
Right now, anyone who's just purchased the game has only 5 killers(7 if they play on console) and 7 survivors(9 if they play on console). Some of the best perks are only available on chapters that you have to buy, and they're from chapters that have been out for years.
I'd suggest adding the original chapters up to Chapter 14: Cursed Legacy for console.
For pc, I'd suggest adding the original chapters up to Chapter 10: Darkness Among Us.
For Ultimate edition, add original chapters up to Chapter 26: Forged in Fog.
I'd like for something like this to happen. The idea is for people that are new to be able to compete with Pay-To-Play players by including/reduction-in-price-for certain chapters.
Please be civil in the replies.
Btw, I am speaking as someone who has probably spent well over $300 on Dead By Daylight.

They should not remove the dc penalty. Instead, they should remove hook suicides. You make it harder for people to ragequit and ruin the game for everyone else, not easier.
I do agree with lowering the cost of the oldest original characters.10 -
why should DC penalties be removed? So that person can ruin match for their 3 other teammates in order to go for next match where they will very likely ruin match for another 3 players?

So they'll be replaced with a bot instead of killing themselves on the hook.

The only way to do that would be adjusting how the skill checks work in the second stage.

Bots are only a replacement for a bad player. Any half decent player, its a downgrade. Also, no killer wants to play against bots, as they're just boring to play against. If they wanted that, they'd be in customs. Plus, that's only for survivors. Are you fine with any match you got an advantage in ending early when the killer decides to leave? Or, if they added them, always playing against a bot killer in any winning game?

It's better than no teammate, and as for killers, keep the DC penalty till we get killer bots. Also, no survivor wants to be down a whole teammate because someone is having a tantrum. Are you fine with any match you got where the killer got a advantage because a player decides to kill themselves on hook? If I wanted to have a miserable experience, I'd play an unfair game like Halo 2 Laso.

If one side gets no dc penalty, both sides need to. Also, if you read my first post, I said they should remove hook suicides. I'm not fine with survivors ruining games, but you make it harder to ruin games, not easier.

Removing hook suicides wouldn't make it harder to ruin games, though. They'll just start sandbagging, or hiding in a corner, or maybe they'll do objectives and leave you to die on first hook. I've been seeing that a lot lately. If someone wants to get out that badly, it's best to just let them.

i would rather want to see more harsh DC penalties and kobes removed + griefing in terms of giving up being a truly bannable offense
1 -
@CrypticGirl that's exactly the point, hook suicides aren't bannable because you can't know if surv killed themselves on hook or not, while sandbagging is bannable :D
2 -
@NarkoTri1er But you can't know if the sandbagging is intentional either. Plus the report system is crap, so the devs aren't likely to take those reports seriously.

Yes, I also think it would be better if there were no more DC penalties BUT then the system has to be adapted like in games like e.g. in League of Legends.
If you leave the game for whatever reason (connection lost, ragequit, etc.) you will be replaced by a bot. However, and now the change comes, you then have the option to rejoin the match and can no longer enter the queue until the match is completed.
When you join the still open match, you logically replace your own bot.
So even players who had a real disconnect due to internet problems (which is definitely the absolute minority of all discornnects in DBD) have the opportunity to rejoin.
For all those who think they have to intentionally ruin the gaming experience for the other 4 players on a regular basis, a permanent punishment should be given at some point.
If the game bothers them so much, they can switch to single-player games.
Remove hook suicides or at least limit it to 1 try only is also long overdue.

The DC penalty would be removed for killer when they can be replaced with bots.
As for Attempt escape, there's no reason to remove it, as they'd just go afk at the hook so they get Crows. Removing the penalty on the other hand, let's them leave the match, let's you have a teammate still, and the match to continue as normal. Killer's DC penalty should only remain until Killer bots are introduced, that way, a salty killer doesn't end the entire match. As for idea of being able to rejoin a match you left, that's a pretty good idea, considering players can get disconnected due to bad wifi. That's also another reason to remove the dc penalty. DBD can't tell if it was a genuine rage quit or a network issue.

Going afk intentionally is classified as unsportsmanlike behavior.
1 -
Yeah i think that bots are in the game maybe making a leave match option for people in solo queue might be a better QoL, I'm tired of people using attempts and missing skill checks to move on.
1 -
Removing the dc penalty would give you a bot in their place. If we don't do that, people will keep unaliving on hook to avoid the penalty. Also, some people unalive on hook to give the other survivor hatch.

Also, removing the timer would help players who have bad/unstable internet. I have a friend who cannot the game at certain times because of his internet.
