New "Lights out" mode is hot garbage

This mode is just not meant to have any amount of visibility.

I found it also fun as survivor with a friend even tho I lost a lot. I haven‘t played it as killer yet.

I'm sorry, but why does it seem like BHVR can't do anything right? What is going on? When some killers have to be restricted from the mode that's how you know it's not balanced, fair or fun. Anything built on a faulty foundation is going to continue to be faulty by design. Lights out is too survivor tilted. It's four against one with accelerated generators, an the killer has no way of tracking survivors while they speed their way through these gens. I'm good enough to at least get two survivors, but a 4k is out of the question unless survivors mess up. I deal with it though.

When you try and control fate you mess u your destiny. Every time BHVR try to appease the balance god they screw over the natural order of things. There is no such thing as balance. Stop trying to achieve it. The natural order is someone is ALWAYS going to be better than someone else. This boils down to character, and most of the DBD community don't have the honorable countenance to accept a fair 'L' so they rather come to forum to moan about the odds being stacked against them. I get so many players rage quitting on me its insane. They challenge me to chase them because they fancy themselves master loopers, and when I catch within the first 15 to 20 seconds they quit. Or I kill so fast that layers accuse me of tunneling despite the fact that I left them alone to get two other survivors and returned within 2 minutes. Somehow because I'm not gracious enough to give them breathing room or I strategically intercept the other survivor attempting to take them off hook, I'm toxic and tunnel.

News Flash: It's called an obsession for a reason. And even then I don't focus on the obsession. I'll give the illusion that I'm pursuing so that the others will come to their aid. Works every time psychology.

Instead of encouraging players to think, BHVR caters to players asking for a hand out in the win department.

I like it more than the last time but i prefer chaosshuffle so much more :)

They greatly improve it from the first iteration but i feel the devs should end it here. The mode just not that appealing compare to 2v8 or shuffle. At it core the game mode is just extreme stealth which eventually get tedious. Again behavior did a decent job here but nah it not for me

I think it would be fair to note that survivors didnt just complain about the mode, no one was playing it resulting in long queues among the reduced amount of players that were in the modifier. Obviously, changes were directed to try and incentivize players to queue survivor since killer queue didnt have any issues getting people to play

They give you info. When you hold them up, you not only see the next gens aura, you see what your mates are doing (the hud action icons). So you can quick check whether the others are doing a gen, and it's your turn to rescue someone, for example.

Agreed, Chaos Shufle and 2vs8 were more fun. But compared to regular soloQ experience, lights out is leagues better!

It's so bad. Theres no BP incentives, tome challenge BP rewards are non-existent, no rift fragments from the tome, can barely pip and earn BP in matches because you can't see what's going on. It's a hot mess. I'm only playing it to get the badge and banner then i'm out.

I agree 100% they should have left this mode alone, this version sucks and is ZERO fun for both killer and survivor!

It's been alright for the most part. Dracula is very fun to play as in this game mode. I just creep around in the shadows using Wolf form and pounce on unsuspecting survs. I like the aesthetic of the candelabras. They did a good job on their design.

I see how much people dislike this mode. Hm. Its so strange. I loved Light’s Out when Bhvr first implemented it, and I am really loving it again now. The bats and eyes in the darkness are so cool and spooky.

It’s always so curious to me that I’m playing and loving the same game that so many others seem to hate.

The mode is a metaphor for the current playerbase. Unable to see two feet in front of them.

No pop or pain res or nowhere to hide so this is A+ mode thank you bhvr

played a handful of matches and the game is a campers and sluggers paradise. I’m over it and won’t be returning.

All I want is the return of the fog. Why is that so much to ask for? Womp womp.

I thought those filters were considered cheating. Anything that modifies game settings or performance outside of what comes directly from BHVR (so any third party apps).

Thanks for the info Solarjin 😊 You know me, it might be an mmr issue 😏

But for reals, you’re right about everything. Especially the Killer powers. Thinking of Legion for this mode makes me laugh lol. OKAY Solarjin I see now okay??? Lol 😉

Hope you’ve been having good games 😊🔦🩸

I've powered through (Dredge) to get the rift collectibles.

Nobody had any fun (neither me nor the slugged survivors)

Winning is certainly possible as I won almost every match. (Lost one, got one draw, won all the rest.)

Bro please re-evaluate your opinions when you're legit upset that NURSE of all Killers is invaludated in this mode. Let weaker Killers like the Stealth ones have ONE mode that lets them be strong. Why is it bad to have a mode that allows some Killers to work better than others? I will never understand that.

Can't you just have fun being jumpscared like everyone else?

🤣🤣 poor nurse. Fatigue after fatigue unable to catch survivors. If u can win with her in this mode then god damn.

This is why I was Ghostie, Myers, Pig, and Onryo all Lights Out. I actually let several people go as Ghostface because he has it so easy in this mode.

Because jumpscares. :D
