Alternate DBD Endless Mode idea

yobuddd

First of all, mad props to @TheDuhJ who’s recent thread was the inspiration here. Fantastic idea over there! I just didn’t want to hijack his thread for my own idea.

Anyway, it’s simple. DBD Endless is essentially a training mode.

• The map is tremendo-ginormously huge! Every main building is there, and multiple shacks. Doorways lead to portions of indoor maps.
• Each session of the map can hold max 20 killers & 40 survivors
• The game mode is drop-in/drop-out. No winning or losing. Play as long as you want and then leave.
• Practice chasing, looping, flash-lighting, killer powers, skill checks, etc.
• Activate one of the numerous shrines around the map to change your perks and loadout (does NOT consume inventory items, and all options are available)
• Totems/pallets/breakable walls will respawn overtime.
• Toggle on/off proximity voice chat so that people can train with each other. (Some people may decide to become “Trainer-mains”, helping out the newbies!)
• Add players to friend list during the session.
• Earn bloodpoints at a reduced rate, but no maximum. Unranked. No experience/shards.

Even if this were technically possible (I imagine a ton of lag) ...this would just be a massive joke.

Everyone would just load into this to dick around all the time while they earn unlimited Bloodpoints.

Hardly anyone would play ranked matches except streamers.

I love inspiring other peoples creativity. MAD LAD over here.

The idea sounds incredibly chaotic, Idk if dbd servers could hold such a big map, but lets assume that they could handle everything you are mentioning with reasonable load times and que opportunities, lets talk some pros and cons and additions I would make

PROS

• This sounds like an area for a lot of positivity in the game, proximity vc is an excellent idea for having people help others learn the game and in my opinion is the best idea you got going for a training mode, but not the only good one.
• Experiencing all the scenarios you could find in DBD in a small area would be pretty awesome for testing purposes.
• Alot of the essentials for a training ground you thought of here so good on you (love the shrine idea).

CONS

• Most things here are just pointing out areas of detail that needs clarifying
• What would exit gates/hatch do?
• Would it be too small that it would get crowded?
• Would there be a relatively fast way to get to an area you want to check out on the big map or would there be a set location and you walk there?
• Are there gens and what would the do?
• Does loadout changer include killers?
• Why earn blood points?
• Could there be private training grounds?
• I don't know how I would feel about a killer survivor ratio. So you have to re-que for a new training ground if you want to switch between killer and survivor? Or maybe you would have a way where if you find a killer who will trade places with you? Seems like a bad

THINGS I WOULD ADD

• I would have a killer type limit. Like only 3 of any one killer, but with proximity voice chat you could get killers to participate with you so it would be a self managing community.
• Maybe have a bounty board where a group of survivors or killers can go to be a "Trainer main" to fulfill trainees requests. So They post to the board what they want help with and a trainer who accepts the request can be warped over to the survivors to fulfill that requests and a survivor can rate their trainer and stuff like that upon completion, and the rating gives the trainer some in game bonuses. Emphasize the community building aspect some more.
• I would add a compass where people can find where a specific killer is on the map so they can create their more ideal training scenario more efficiently.

Good idea overall imo

Do you really think that even hypothetically this would happen ? how many ideas on this forum whether to improve the game and/or make it more fun fall on deaf ears ? you're just wasting your time , people may click on the topic to disagree , but itll be forgotten .

Alternatively, its fun to fantasize about stuff that probably will never happen, and you can meet fun and creative people by engaging their ideas instead of dipping into toxic madness. Be a sport

Sounds fun and cool on paper, but ultimately it would break the game.

One thing people aren't even considering is all the different terror radius/chase music going on would make any platform totally ######### itself and crash your game almost instantly, it would take alot more than you realize for all those killer powers to be in play at once also, if they can't even add a patch fix without something else breaking then I couldn't imagine what would happen if this were implemented
