Exact release date of the new 2v8?
I'm tired of 1v4 already, I want to dive into my favorite 2v8, the wait is unbearable! Make it permanent already, but limit it to 10 matches a day

last 2 v 8 was misrable for both sides, on one hand oni and legion were a match made in hell and on the other survivor sided maps with 8 chaining pallets against a ghost face or any killer was just so boring
uneless they change something about it, its gonna be the same boring exprience and i don't think anyone wants that
and its coming next month after chaos shuffle which should be dropping later this month
edit : nvm chaos shuffle got canceled

Plague - Nurse
Legion - Nurse
Oni - Legion
Literally anything with Legion and dashes with closed map offering. Enjoy survs suffer.I'm really curious is it even possible to avoid Meyers get his stalk level with so many people around

I'm not sure how BHVR will balance plague, but I have a suggestion. Only 4 survivors can be infected with maximum infection at a time. Once the cap of 4 is hit all other infected survivors will not be injured and can cleanse (but it will take slightly longer) and this cleanse will not corrupt the fountain, but also won't contribute to a hypercleanse and force plague into corrupt before she is ready. Once a maximum infected survivor is caged or cleanses the next survivor who was infected hits maximum infection. I think this makes her viable while not making it a free stomp. Although, any match with a nurse is practically a free stomp.

IF you nerf Plague this way, she will be unplayable. I'm as Plague main not even going to play her. Why do I need half-gutted killer if I can pick something else?

Next month, if I recall correctly.

the roadmap says it’s planned for august. hopefully in the livestream on tuesday before the update, they tell us more about the upcoming 2v8.
also ps: if i were u i would edit the post to remove the tagged dev. it’s against forum rules to tag any member in a post that they weren’t already actively in. just a quick heads up so the mods don’t soft ban you.

I also hope that they will add it at the beginning of August, the end of August is like an eternity for me)
P.S. Well noted, I'll edit it now1 -
Realistically no they wouldn't do this instead they would just add more fountains along with buffs to her kit.

Watch the whole play while you wait thing not solve the queue time issue
1 -
I agree, they need to add many killers, slightly buffing them, let there be many of them for variety, otherwise it is not interesting to go against the Legion every match😤

I think instead of infecting survivors with vomit (not everyone likes to constantly listen to coughing) she needs to be given several red fountains from the start (apple addons) but with a reduced power timer of 30-40 seconds and with each repaired generator she will also receive red vomit (iri addon) and also more fountains will turn red after each gen
-1 -
thats also possible. as someone who played her quite a lot (before blood moon killed my enthusiasm for her) I didn't think of that as a nerf I just thought of it as a way to stop s-tiers from using her support for easy wipes. Plague absolutely doesn't need a nerf.
1 -
Yeah, otherwise she will be another Legion power that can easily injure survivors and that constant coughing can easily help to track uncaged survs so killers can easily tunnel them out. So for me there her power should only rely frequent corrupt purge🙂

I do foresee the copious pallets in 2v8 being an issue for that tho.
0 -
yeah wouldn't it just make people who otherwise just wanted to play survivor be enticed to play killer since you also play survivor.

I really hope the next 2v8 adds springtrap and ghoul

"Kaneki! They've already activated four generators! What the ######### are you doing?!?"
In all seriousness though, I would like for the next 2v8 to have Skull Merchant and Knight. Watch someone DC after getting claw trapped while getting chased by a guard.
Alternatively, Freddy and Dredge. Watch the game collapse trying to mix the Dream World with Nightfall.

I don't think I'm the reason for the long queue times just because I tunnel.
(I'm really tired of always being blamed for everything that happens in the DBD world just because of the way I play)
and.. two huge DLCs just dropped, both were highly anticipated and massively hyped. Personally, I didn’t enjoy the last 2v8 test at all, but hey—tastes differ! :D
A permanent mode would definitely be great, but there's always the issue of splitting the playerbase too much. And what happens when they want to introduce another new event or mode? Three modes at once? That would get really complicated.
Maybe better bots could help. But the real question is: do people even want to play against bots?

Well I suggested 10 matches per day in 2v8 so it's not a big deal and won't affect that much regular mode/modifiers
0 -
y… It would be great if that actually worked… that mode could really help separate the "sweats" from the casuals a bit, and overall make the game way less toxic. Sure, personally I think the current 2v8 has a lot of issues, but it’s nothing that couldn’t be expanded on and improved..
..
But I guess something like that will never become permanent, because they’re probably too afraid of splitting the playerbase too much, idk.

Y, but it’s mostly just frustration — and some trash talk that comes with it. I mean, I get it. I play killer pretty hard, and I know some casual players probably aren’t having much fun in my matches.
With a lot of groups, you just know — okay, we’re not even two minutes in and yep, sorry, the match is basically over. You’re dead. The rest is just going through the motions. Nothing left to do but clean up. Nobody enjoys that, on either side.
It just kinda is what it is.
So y, the frustration is definitely understandable for me.
That’s why I think having a separate permanent mode (or at least a better MMR system) could be awesome.
Not to split the community in a bad way, but just to give everyone a space where they can enjoy the game how they like.
The thing is,idk.. I’m not sure if 2v8 is really the answer — and how it would even work. It comes with a bunch of issues you gotta think about, like longer queue times and extra work for the devs who are already trying to fix a ton of stuff.
a permanent 2v8 mode would need a lot of love and extra work
Like some have already said here, because the way it is right now, it’s not really that great.
And the biggest problem I see with that is: Killers would find the most efficient way to play (in this mode too), and survivors would do the same… then we’d just end up right back where we started with the normal mode. Efficiency would dominate the game again, and casual players would just get pushed aside — just like it is now in the normal mode.

its more about the fact that bhvr needs to make it fun for both sides tbh
bots were disliked when they were added but they did make the queue time a bit faster
and maybe they need to buff m1 killers, ghost face made no sense in 2 v 8 when 7 chaining pallets
1 -
here I agree about Ghostface, yes the server can make adjustments to the maps (like a little less good pallets) depending on the killers during loading🤩

Next one needs to be the chainsaw boys. Bubba and Billy side by side as the Entity intended.
