Invisble walls and most of them should get removed
Everyone should have encountered multiple instances of invisble walls, which feel quite weird and out of place. You notice them especially on certain killers that have some form of jump or rush attack, but also at certain locations as survivors. I think there is no reason for killers to have invisble walls aside of the map borders and for survivors invisble walls should only exist at places that are only reachable with a fast vault.
Demo, Billy, Blight and kaneki could do so much more cool stuff if they could land next to survivors when jumping of high places instead of hitting walls and the game in general could be so much more dynamic.
Examples of unnecessary invisble walls (survivor&killer):
At the green spots you should be able to stand (if you can reach them) and walk on. They are reachable for both killers and survivors equally, so they can‘t be abused.
Spots only reachable by a killer power, but blocked by invisble walls: (especially main buildings)
(Side note: At the brown point you could add the small wooden planks from last years haunted by daylight to create another path)
(I should be able to jump over there.)
(Not sure whether or not it would be physically possible to get on top of there)
(Zirkus Map)
(Nurse map)
There are a lot of these situations where it should be possible (from the looks) to jump over stuff or on top of it, but you hit an invisble wall which is frustrating (especially on demo).
Stairs and Dashes: It feels like I can‘t get of the ground like I‘m stuck on it. There are instances where it should be possible to jump over fences, but you don‘t start flying. Therefore I can‘t be sure whether or not there are invisble walls. This would also be fun for survivors if the killer jumps over them. Maybe make it possible to jump without staying attached to the ground when looking staight forward and when looking down at the survivors it works like it does at the moment.
Spots where you can actually walk on top of loops or objects as killer. This should be possible on most of the loops if you can physically get on top of them.
In this one you can stand in the window, but not go through it. You see its location in the first picture.
As counter example I show one instance where invisble walls should exist for survivors, because the killer is unable to reach the survivors (because they don‘t have a fast vault).
Summary: We should be able to jump over or get on top of objects when it looks like it should be possible. The only exception are places that are only reachable by fast vaults (which the killer can‘t do) and map borders. Killers in general should not have invisble walls and survivors should be able to land on everything the killer can reach as well. The places where you could get stuck should just get fixed if that is the reason why we have them.
This took ages to make! (Especially the pictures)

That would only be fair if survivors can do it too… then you open a whole new can of worms. I know some pro loopers that the killers rarely ever catch, they would have a field day with this.

What do you mean exactly? Survivors would not have invisble walls as well except at locations the killer can‘t reach at all (locations only reachable with a window fast vault).

I just think survivors would abuse it…. really good loopers would at least. And the killer would end up giving up. I've seen it happen several times in games without the walls removed… imagine if they could loop and vault anything… omg that would be crazy and the killers would not have a chance against my friends.

Do you have any examples, because I have only included stuff that the killer can reach as well, which means they can all do the same stuff?

They can do all the same stuff now, and about 30% of the games I play with my friends, the killers DC. It's because they can never out loop my friends. I can only imagine what they'd do if they had other places to vault or climb on top of.

Survivors can‘t get on those places I marked.
There are no new places to vault to (I excluded the places the killer can‘t reach) and the killer can climb on top of the same things as survivors. It would just be little bit more chaotic and allow for a more dynamic game design.

Yeah I really wish dbd would add some form of verticality to the gameplay, like some kind of killer that can fly. I just put a concept for sinister invincible on the creations forum but his power there would need a lot of invisible walls to be removed. We have killers that can rush fast but none that can actually properly leave the ground.

I agree. I think draculas bat and vecnas fly ability should be able to actually fly instead of hovering. They could also allow kaneki to pull himself into the sky. This would be awasome. The only killers that can somewhat fly for a short time are kaneki and demo under the right conditions, but even they are forced to stay on the ground when they don‘t jump from a very high place.

They said recently their coding limits what they can do vertically for killer designs. Everything say above the height of the bats for example is top they can have apparently.

Yeah that‘s sad. Dbd would be so much cooler with such abilities.

yeah I had a feeling that'd be the case. Still sad tho.

There's just no getting around the original 2016 coding of this game, no matter what engine it is now running through.
In a fantasy world a DBD 2 is made from scratch, completely recoded from the ground up. Imagine with all they have learned by now included in. Maybe a match replay system for players to learn from and make reporting less barbaric? Maybe a reconnect feature? Maybe a truly airborne killer power? Maybe a thorough optimization? 🤔

maybe no chance of nancy floating into the sky when she leaves a locker. It'd be magical.
