    Zero.

    That would be a very, very terrible thing to implement for the game.

    Splitting the playerbase is an extremely risky thing and if it was going to be done it would need to be for a very good reason IE the SWF issue.

    Doing it just too add a new game mode would not be smart whatsoever.

    Idk, but i hope 0 chances.

    There's still enough to complain about in this mode, a lot of it will more than likely carry over to the new mode.

    This sounds like exactly the sort of thing people will say that they want until it's actually in and then they whine about the balance of it. The question was what the chances are of it and from what we've seen already I'd say they're pretty low.

    @ApeOfMazor Don't get me wrong, I would want nothing more then a 2v8, so I can engage more with my buddies by butchering survivors together. However, the chances are so low, that if they do announce a 2v8 mode, I'll.... Uh... I dunno. Celebrate?

    I hope we get it. Nurse/Billy vs 8 meta survivors would be very interesting!

    U really try to compare identity V and DbD? I mean yeah they have similarities, but DbD is for me completely different. As if anyone would care about balance in a mobile game anyway.

    DbD is a mess, creating g a new gamemode with 2 killer will be just unbalanced af.

    Imagine 2 omeganurse or one Billy, one Nurse or one Nurse one spirit. It's straight up bullshit.

    People will whine about everything. Devs might as well give up if thats the basis for adding things.

    A 2v8 mode will never happen until the Dedicated Servers go live and even then.. there's a low chance for it.

    I really like the 2v8 idea. But at its impossible atm :(

    If 8v2 comes out, make it limited time only or a just for fun mode the devs occasionally put out to keep the game fresh.

    I would personally love a 2v8 game mode, but I also understand the devs are very unlikely to implement it. So my guess would be 5% or something.

  • GenSim12345

    i'd say a 1/4 chance. It be a fun addition to add to the game especially with how many people ask, but at the moment 1v4 is already hard enough to balance. 2v8 would probably be twice at hard to balance.

    Some of the reasons I think Identity V has less issues with 2 vs 8 mode, Is because the game is free.....On several accessible platforms....and the 2 vs 8 mode is only available during certain hours throughout the day.

    If dead by daylight were to implement something similar, they would have to make it available only at certain hours or rotate it out with other modes like certain first person shooter games.

    Just my random thoughts at the moment. What do you think?

    Tomorrow? Won't happen. In the future? 1% maybe, though if not done properly could kill the game.

    8v2 would be a sucky nightmare. The game is not meant for that. If you want an 8v2 mode, you have to change everything about objectives. You need 4 exit points, and something other than gens. Imagine trying to stop 6 survivors from hitting gens while you chase 2. You depend on the other killer being good. You face the possibility of 8 coordinated players in swf vs you and some other guy who runs Freddy and sucks. No thank you.

    The devs would sooner remove pallets than they'd add a new gamemode. Just look at the game. How many years has it been out and we still don't have anything but the same regular gamemode that we have now. It has been changed some here and there but there is no way they are adding another one

    Exactly this /\.... the game is still bare bones AF... theres nothing else to it aside for the 1 game mode and a store..... it needs new game modes in order to attract more people (needs more in general) ... the idea of being able to go into the fog with a friend sounds fun AF and would bring people to the game.....

    It took years to create a game almost balanced, and although we still have many issues. You cant just invent a New game mode by just doubling the number of players. There are so many reasons why 2v8 would be broken:

    -in a game where 3 survivors out of 4 can easily rush a game, making it last 6 minutes, 6 out of 8 could do even worse;

    -map have been designed to have 8 gens, where are they gonna put the extra gens?;

    -even tho i give you that people could come with some cool killer combos, this could also lead to a even harder tunneling/camping;

    -what about killers with in-map mechanics? like fountains or jigsaw boxes, it would be a mess to have both of them;


    Maybe we could have this game mode in the future (like 1 year), but they need at least to create survivor secondary objective.

    I'm hoping for 2v8. I'd love that so much.

  • BACKSTABBER
    BACKSTABBER Member Posts: 1,809

    I guess you guys are understimating the skills of the devs to implement a cool and balanced 8v2

    I believe they can make it but probably when the dedi servers are live, for technical reasons

    If they don't implement cool feats like 8v2, the DCs will keep going on with bored users

    New players are quickly discouraged by toxic killers and survivors. They need to figure out the horri le balance and toxic playstyles to attract new people.

    I convinced 4 people from work, all of whome play pvp games, to try DBD the last free weekend. They all said the same thing. Horrible game management feeds toxic players feeding on new players. Bad balance, and not worth 10 bucks. New game modes will not help this game. New management with a focused vision is the only hope.

    The split queue times would still be too much. It'd likely drive people away too much. Dead by Daylight doesn't have the luxury of having that big a player base to split, especially since it's already split by virtue of being asymmetrical. Any new game modes would split the playerbase twice, not once.
