We have temporarily disabled Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater Cosmetic (all queues) due to issues affecting gameplay.

Is anyone actually playing Chaos Shuffle?

My queues on either side are kinda long right now. Easily double that of the normal queue. Was watching a streamer earlier today and they commented that the queues feel bad too.

Don't get me wrong, they're nothing like 2v8 levels of bad. But it's noticeable and I'm left wondering why?

    It does feel like it's much less popular this time around. My queues for Survivor are usually pretty long (even with the incentive at 50%) but the Killer queue is typically instant with no wait at all.

    I also find myself playing either against or with the same players fairly often. I think my local server is probably one of the less populated ones though, player number wise (UK/Ireland).

    Edit: But I couldn't tell you how that compares to the regular queue because I don't play standard DBD during events / modifiers.

    I only played until I had all the challenges done, will play again when the next one unlocks but that's about it for me.

    There's nothing really new in Chaos Shuffle

    Yeah I was kind of disappointed to see they didn't add random items and add-ons this time around. Would've given it a little more edge I feel.

    Me as I'm sure many others do is just play for the event tome, then go back to normal mode.

    I haven't had any issues with the times.

    The issue when queues are long is not really how many people, that's only a factor if its a very small amount, but the proportion per role.

    A lot veered away from the event due to rampant toxic and unfun behavior for both sides. As survivor I experience non-stop slugging and tunneling. As killer the survivors usually bring super stacked items that are just really annoying.

    " Because they don't know how to properly apply map pressure on the survivors or generators"

    False. They do. Why bother though when tunneling is such an easy option that bhvr allows for killers to do? Especially in Chaos Shuffle where all the perks are random.

    Killer queues are short though atm from what I have noticed. Took 10 mins to load into a survivor

    So the survivor queues are long for me as well but they also have a bonus of 100-125%. I’m wondering if they’re longer with the bonus because it takes more survivors to fill a queue. They’re faster on killer but there’s no bonus on killer for me.

    Its actually pretty good during the day. Hardly a wait at all.

  • Ayodam
    Ayodam Member Posts: 3,257

    And I don’t think it’s malfunctioning because late at night the bonus switches to killer in normal queue for me. But it’s still on survivor in Chaos Shuffle.

    I waited so long to be a survivor last night I got bored, so I went to killer. Thankfully I enjoy killer so I didnt mind.

    Unlocking this portrait is the only reason I played the modifier. They finally made a badge that looks cool!

    The badge is awesome. I really like the Dragon charm too.

    I can't tell you actually? My games feel pretty balanced for the most part, both sides don't have anything usefull often and therefore it's just looping/power-controll and the other sidefactors you can't take away.

    The only thing that destroys this balancing is matchmaking that is horrible, it's not even funny how weak some survivors are xD

    I havent touched it at all after 1 game. The most fun thing in this game for me is using a variety of killers with their addons with perks that synergies together to make a cool build. Killers like freddy, myers, bubba are really boring and a pain to play without certain perks or builds. I played 1 match with myers on chaos shuffle and i regretted the minute i loaded in the match. No haste build or undetecable build or obession build or vault build just base myers who is super boring to play. This mode is good for killers that are already able to get downs without needing to crutch on perks. I cannot play bubba without bam or myers without PWYF because to play without them is to load in knowing that you lost. I can imagine blight, nurse, dracula, spirit players are having a blast with the mode.

    I played 1 game as Myers on the mode before i stopped and the 4 survivors i got all had hemorrhage syringes and gel dressings. Insanity especially on myers when all i got was Shattered hope, genetic limits, septic touch, and hex 2 can play. I guess you can say that my hope was shattered

    I haven't found the wait times too bad on Chaos Shuffle so far and I haven't played normal mode during it's availability

    Bruh, such true. I always say how bad MMR in this game, but holy, playing modifiers makes me realize that MMR does at least bare minimum, because survivors there are so bad to the point it's not even interesting to play killer and no point to play survivors because of matches are throwed as soon as you loaded into trial.

    My survivor queue on CS was way longer, but I didn't play it for 3 days. Maybe will play some matches today.

    Whenever they release a modifier, I pretty much only play it until they remove it. The queues have been pretty normal for me and the games have been pretty fun. Temporary modes are definitely more enjoyable than the base game.

    KatsuhxP Member Posts: 1,034

    I can't say to this, I'm basically only playing survivor if my girlfriend wants to see me play. Otherside of this case I can only tell you from killerperspective that the matchmaking itself is fast but bad xD

    Playing right now. The queue times are almost instant with survivor

    I only did the challenges and that is it. I have no interest in this mode since day one. Also the fact I had a match where two people had innovations and wasting time doing them while am getting chase by a doctor for like 3 mins with 0 gens pop, no ty

    I've only played it infrequently the past few days. As others have said, it's not unique this time. For me some perks seem weighted more than others. I get a no mither in the lobby almost every other match. I've had fogwise, self care, babysitter, built to last, counterforce, and exultation WAY more than seems random. I swear one of those almost every survivor match. Add to that, two out of three killers are tunneling the first survivor out or at least to a 2nd hook state so they play defensive. It's just not fun so I go back to the standard queue where people play the game.

    I wish "perk randomizer" was just a loadout button for a single player challenge on normal games at this point.

    no i have fun with using strong perks and builds

    chaos shuffle removes that

    also killer needs their perks way more then survivor

    far far easier to win with 0 survivor perks then 0 killer perks

    My survivor queues are super short, like a minute or less. Killer for me is a little longer

    It's not really chaos since you just stack best items as insurance. This is simply too undercooked for a 3rd iteration

  • HerInfernalMajesty
    HerInfernalMajesty Member Posts: 2,069

    Why yes actually. I just queued up and got lucky that I found a match right away. I do have a 25% Bp bonus. Map is Toba! Wish me luck! 😂

    It was the Unknown and I got finisher mori’d 🤣 We almost finished the last gen! I did run the Killer for two gens at first though, that was nice.

    Now that you mention it, the tunneling and slugging is rampant and it makes sense why. I'm not even sure the rewards in the Tome are incentive enough to put up with the experience, more than likely they'll be available next year via a code for everyone to instantly redeem anyway.

    The game mode has been brought back the 3rd time in a year.

    It’s kinda getting stale by now.

    I've been playing it and having a great time overall on both sides. The game is 10 times more fun when you don't play against the same small group of perks every single match.

    Every time chaos shuffle has been available I've played it exclusively (as in, not playing normal mode at all) until it's over and this time is no different

  • BorisDDAA

    70% of survivor matches have been hardcore tunneling. Killer matches are okay though

  • tjt85
    tjt85 Member Posts: 1,042

    I feel the same way. This is easily my favourite modifier of them all and I usually have loads of fun playing it. There may be some players that seem to want to spoil the fun for everyone else, but when it's good it's really good.

    I hate these modifier and we have this everytime now, because these event segregate MMR and divide players. Plays as SoloQ is horrendus today and during these events and modifier when we have 2 matchmakings is much worse . They need to step back to rank system and just 1 select mode. This game doesnt have players enough to maintain 2 queues at the same time decently

  • Langweilg

    I play it, but no mither shouldn’t be part of it (except they gigabuff it).

    Literally every match I get a no mither, be it as killer or survivor and depending on which side I am, it is a struggle or an ease.

    I wouldn’t deny the fact that no mither got a 25% pick rate or higher in that mode. Either I got multiple people broken or at least one.
