I miss the old dbd *serious*

Your profile picture

Oh, I see.

Well, I decided to give my "number 2" a chance to shine!

Some is Nostalgia, some other things not

Please tell that,

Those icons in the hud look better than :

This...

It looks way more classy and true to the old design

the cheap looking survivor pictures in the hud and that the maps lost some of their darkness are the only things I miss/ would like the see chsnged6

It's really just nostalgia. I get nostalgic over it every now and then, but we'll just have to accept that change happens.

There are some things I miss, some I don't. Past DBD has old DS and the 5-blink Nurse. I miss old base-kit Billy though, and I even miss old Bubba and wish he could be playable as a brown add-on. I liked charging up my chainsaw with freedom, and then releasing my chainsaw. Plus Nemesis PWYF was fun.

Love this idea OP! If they would give us the choice between old version & new version, then I would definitely be playing the old version.

go to the polls section of the forums.

There have been a lot of good changes but I did hope some thing would remain the same. I was disappointed that the original maps were changed as well as the HUD, movement etc. Even more disappointed when I heard the original survivors (and more) were getting a graphical update.

But I'm actually alright with the changes now but it took some time. But it is nice to look back on how the game used to be. I have to leave some screenshots here now btw...

Old look of post game lobby:

DBD Halloween theme:

Winter theme

Dunno, looks cool:

I prefer the more dark style maps of the original, actually made it look like a horror game, but the changes to everything else was needed.

Feel like alot of changes were kinda needed. There was alot of cases originally where youd have 2 windows directly next to each other and no entity blockers. This just led to a safezone where it was impossible for alot of killers to ever land a hit there since the survivor would just vault a window, then vault BACK using the other window while the killer is in a vaulting animation. It was a total braindead move where the only way you were getting hit is if you werent paying ANY attention.

I guess it kinda depends on what you mean by "old dbd", cuz the original release was pretty damn broken.

I feel less alone to appreciate the changes. I play only since October 2020, tho, I didn't live as much changes as OG players.

Not everything is perfect, but I do like how it is.

Pretty much this. I like the old HUD better as well as a few other things, but DBD seems to be getting better, in fact I think it's more balanced than it's ever been. Sure it's still not balanced perfectly, but I'd rather have this than no exhaustion status effect (which means constant SB and DH), old DS, more infinites, 5-blink Nurse, and old Self-Care.

I prefer some of the old animations they completely butchered the injured running animations

Compared to most other online games dbd has gone above and beyond over the years ya sure some dont like every change but for the most part it does feel like the community is being listened to on alot of the issues. Behavior at least hasnt let the money goto their heads and who knows maybe dbd isnt that profitable because of all the licensing fees or whatever but i do think they truely listen to issues that the community has at times. I just wish they would add in a little bit more variety so it wasnt just repair 5 gens and escape like some other means of escaping the trial or at least a new weapon so its not only flashlights. Sometimes all the issues we have with a game are often because we dont feel developers are making the right calls or the right choices and its usually because we are playing this game way too much and we think back to the simplicity of dbd 1.0 which back then was the opposite we wanted more characters and more maps.

I wasn't playing DbD when it first came out, but one thing I always wondered is why were lighting and fog changed?

I checked some old videos and having the map all foggy looks super cool.

Old DBD is better than now graphically, I really miss Nea's pink bobs nice physics and Feng's/Meg's Floppy Skirts. Though the health is way better than before.
