Suggestions to return DBD to its former glory.
Hi everyone, I don't expect this to blow up or anything because its one of thousands of discussions and threads that will be seen or skimmed over while you scroll to read the forums. If you do read this, just drop a suggestion or let me know what you think. Thanks!
Gamemodes: They should add a playlist a gamemodes that do certain things. One day may be "1 Perk Only", the next day may be "Randomized Perks". Hide and Seek would be a good one too. Develop maps and give the community a little more to play than just the same thing over and over until we get burn out.
Overhaul: On top of new things to do and experience and get good at, we need some balance changes. Balancing the game is one thing, but fixing the game so you don't break half of the game when releasing a patch is ESSENTIAL. Fix and organize the game so its easy to fix! This one is crucial to keeping the game alive, so I hope this one comes sooner rather than later.
Matchmaking: Replace SBMM with "Unranked" and "Ranked" queues! You will cut queues in half, and give the player an option to queue for both to cut the times even more. The option would be with cross platform settings. This is also crucial, people don't want to wait 15 minutes to get into a 8 minute game!
Community Testers: These people are like the Fog Whispers, but they play the game and give the developers suggestions as to what needs to get fixed, this will help with meta changes and bug issues that need to be brought to light. The forums are NOT enough, like this thread here, it won't make enough traction to move the game forward. We need people to give accurate results and not "data" they collect from a few matches.
Those are some suggestions but that doesn't mean it will go anywhere. If you feel like this is a good start to move DBD, share the thread. If you have any comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. We can make this game better together. Thank you for your time.

BHVR uses surveys to check stuffs ingame. I don't think that they (BHVR staff members) are reading forums to pick ideas or to fix something. I am not even sure that they listen Fog Whispers neither. Just a thing, we have some (almost 1 *sob*) Fog Whisper in France & no dedicated section with this language in this forum (as on Steam forum btw...).
Now you have an idea how useful are these 'statuses' & how much important is it for BHVR.
A 'community testers' ? Good idea but good luck for it... Look how many bugs are reported by common players as you or me & check back how much bugs are solved/fixed... Who wants to help & to improve more this game ? What should be the results in your mind ? And what will be the end goal ? To fix entirely or to balance the game ?
You are just a dreamer hyped by the game. I'm sorry to write that but the the hype finally will dry. It is relentless...
Each update <=> new bugs. So this game is a perfect vicious circle = more introduced bugs than resolved bugs... Imagine now your 'community testers': they will give up after 1 month... Everyone should do it. Even BHVR has given up on this point !... The core of the game is too broken to be fixed.
