New "Lights out" mode is hot garbage

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.

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.

One could accuse you of basically the same, being salty for not being able to 4k every time like it has becoming the norm for sweaty killers in the normal game mode. Survivors can't see the killer too and you often get a free hit as killer. I think gen-speed bonus could be slowed down a bit, but the last time it seemed to be almost unplayable as survivor. The Freddy argument makes no sense to me, his dreamworld seems to be the reason why he got killswitched and i get that, it probably wasn't possible to implement this somehow.

I just see this game mode as what it is, a fun casual mode made for doing challenges and changing the routine. I don't really care if i 4k or not, or if i escape.

Sadly, it is allowed, I remember someone from BHVR saying something like, "It’s allowed, but you use it at your own risk. We (BHVR) can’t reverse it if EAC bans you." I don’t recall the exact wording, though.

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.)

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