NEW MODES or DBD2? - Devs Thoughts
Just some of my ideas for new modes in the future. Would be interested to hear the developers thoughts as well as anyone elses.
Some of my ideas:
- 2 vs 8 (like a lot of people suggest)
- Infected (like on COD - start as a killer vs x amount of survivors and each sacrifice they join your team as a killer)
- Hide & Seek (Loads of different objects to hide in instead of repairing generators, and there's a time limit. If you're found and hooked you die, if you last the timer the entity kills the killer)
- Kill the Killer Mode (survivors objective is to build a weapon instead of repairing gens which allows you to kill the killer. Parts of the weapon would be hidden around the map and you would need to build it in a specific location)
- Safe by Sunlight (Killer has to protect survivors from the entity. There are 5 ritual items on the maps which survivors need to locate and summon. As they summon the item an entity enemy appears which attacks the survivors. The killer needs to protect them and fight off the enemy until the item has been summoned (the actually mechanics of this need some though - please suggest ideas). One all have been summoned they can perform a ritual which kills the entity.
- Snitch / Sabotage (Not entirely sure on this yet, but the idea would be to have an extra survivor who is actually on the killers side helping them by decreasing gens, causing distractions to alert the killer, etc. But if the other survivors find out who it is they can all vote for that player and have them sacrificed. This idea if very fresh so I need more time to think about it, but I like the idea of a mole and an aid to the killer.)

i dont want them to make a DbD 2 yet .. i mean they would have to get the licences for that again then. i would like them to add them as normal modes and do the mode now as a classic mode. save by sunlight sounds interesting ^^
First get confirmation for DbD2, then we can talk about this.
Also, you tagged not_Queef 🤣
Haha whoops, my bad! 😂 @not_Queen
I agree with you, think it would be better to keep building on Dbd and introduce new modes eventually. I'm happy with the format of the current mode but would love to see them mix it up and try something different.
Some of the modes would be ridiculously imbalanced and apparently players like balanced games.
I mean, people are BEGGING devs to nerf the nurse because handful of players can use her good enough to have actually fair games against best survivors which apparently is bad. Survivors always should have a power role.
More killers won't equal twice as many survivors.
Currently if survivors are efficient and killer won't end first chase in ~60 seconds 3 gens will pop. If then that survivor gets hooked and another is being chased other two can finish last 2 gens in a meantime essentially ending the game.
With 2v8 mode we would have probably 7-9 gens. 2 killers chase 2 survivors = 7 gens get popped in first 60 seconds...
I'd rather have devs actually address the problems of their only game mode first and then add additional ones.
I'd like for them to switch up objectives from generators sometimes. Maybe some games it's generators, maybe other games they have to find relics through the map and put them on pedestals. Other games it's a simple game of hide and seek, and perhaps one where the survivors have to find the hatch which changes location every 10 seconds.
They can't make new game modes (except for short term ones for an event maybe) because they don't have enough players to fill both queues. It would result in queue times being ridiculous. Red rank killers can already have to wait 5+ minutes per game depending on the time of day. Adding another game mode would just make queue times even worse.
New game modes would introduce new players to the game and would most likely bring back old players.
