    just played Chucky and the survivors hid and just always disappeared. Most boring match of dbd I’ve played in a long time it was on dead dawg aswell genuinely not a fun experience.

    I kinda liked the first games, but now you can already see that more and more ppl play cheesy killers like ghostface, bubba, legion to detect or oneshot survivors easily. There is always exploitation, which is why chaos shuffle is much more favored.

    You get literally no bloodpoints

    No rift fragments in the tome

    Boring and slow paced gameplay

    What exactly is the reason anyone should play this mode? The fact that you can't even bring bloodpoint offerings is ridiculous. The gameplay needs to at least be good if you want people to play for effectively no rewards. This entire mode is just a miss and I don't think there is any way to make the concept work. It's just not fun. Put more energy into improving 2v8 instead. Going through the tome just feels like an obligation more than anything else. It's not something i'm doing because I find it enjoyable.

    I did one game. Played against a Bubba. Don't see a huge reason to play it again. Not sure why Bubba would be included in this mode. Only one way those games are going to go.

    are perks still disabled in this mode is my issue with these side modes if they keep doing them without perks the gameplay is absolutely boring as survivor

    I played back to back games against Bubba. In both games half of my teams rage dc'd. There just isn't much counterplay to this at all. A huge oversight on Behavior's part IMO.

    Yeah, I don't like it either. I didn't like the first one particularly — this one I'm finding easier as killer, because people carry a light around, but as solo survivor it feels impossible. But, even when I'm winning as killer, it can turn into a long, frustrating match because the survivors just disappear and I have to keep patrolling gens. Every match becomes a 3-gen and not because I want it to.

    Having very little enjoyment as survivor. I know they probably pitched this as a part of the Castlevania chapter release to the license owners but I really wish they just brought back Chaos Shuffle a week earlier.

    I'm not really digging it either (though I'm not entirely sure why as i had liked the original Lights Out mode).

    I was going to give it a few games just to see if I would settle into it or not but I just realized that you need to have The Castlevania chapter bought to get one of the items in the Lights Out Tome, which is super lame. So I probably just won't even bother since doing the Tome doesn't really get me anything like previous special event Tomes would…

    I haven't gotten on to try yet but it pains me to hear that apparently, my Main is still cheesy in this mode and matches are either SWF genrush or Killer stomps. :(

    Why on earth just not bring back REGULAR Lights Out for those who want it, and no BP incentive? None? Why?
