2023 needs to be the year BHVR grabs my interest again. Dead by Daylight in my opinion is becoming boring and the same old gameplay loop won’t save it. Let’s discuss.

About Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

You are basically talking about DbD 2 we should push for that rather than these hypothetical things the could retcon into it.
Completely agree. Being a monopoly and the lack of competition in the asym genre has caused BHVR to become stale and incredibly lazy. This game needs to innovate and expand content wise, instead of repeating the same cycle over and over. I dont think DBD has many years left of repeating this same trope. I dont know about anyone else, but I can't even watch DBD on TTV anymore, its just incredibly boring.
I think a 1v1 mode would be pretty fun. You q up and go against a random player, first you go as survivor, you try to loop him as long as possible, when you go down the roles change and now you go against the same player on the same map layout and you have to down him quicker than he did. Not only would that be fun because it focuses on the most entertaining aspect of the game(looping) but it also would increase the empathy for the other role, because you have to play both.
I don’t know, but o would absolutely love a 1v1 mode.
As much I as I agree with you. I really want more added to Dead By Daylight. But it’s Behavior soo.. Do I really need to say more?
I almost slapped my screen when I saw the face on the thumbnail lol 😂
BHVR is busy with Meet Your Maker, I don't see any new modes entering the game soon. I think it's more likely they'll add PvE side-games, especially given the recent survey questions. Good suggestions though and food for thought.
DBD is boring!? BHVR hears you loud and clear. More Feng cosmetics incoming.
They did work on and release a new game mode! Its called Hooked on You! 😉
That's why i stopped buying dlc. No matter what i buy…i still felt bored because its the same thing regardless. I want a new mode:(
New game modes, new objectives, update some archaic killers with dull powers “Myers, Twins come to mind”
I haven't played since before Christmas. I got so annoyed with DBD I bought the last few tiers of the rift pass and just stopped playing, didn't hold my interest. Feels like the game is wrapped, there's nothing more to it, especially after The Knight got released and his gameplay just didn't feel engaging in any meaningful way, just a hyperbolic anti-loop and a few alright perks.
I want a hardcore mode. Adept and general perks only for both sides. Gens naturally regress and can still be kicked, but get capped at 25% markers (so if you get it to 25 it wont go below that). Items have to be pulled from chests, not brought in. DS is basekit, but if you took a protection hit both borrowed time and ds is nullified. No map offerings from either side. Staying within 8 meters of a hooked survivor for more than 8 seconds reveals your aura to all survivors despite any status effects until youve left the area for 8 seconds
Theres probably more but basically, make the game harder/sweatier BUT all scoring events are doubled and total bp cap is doubled as a trade off.
Boring you say?! =tosses bp to appease the masses= "sir it isn't working!!" ……………..Impossible. MAKE MORE FENG COSMETICS
It is more boring when you’re solo survivor because it is rare for me at least to have a fun game where the killer won’t camp or tunnel the first person they down or just in general playing scummy like Myers always having tombstone piece or Sadako condemn build.
DBD's simple design is what makes it a good game. Counter strike has the same repetitive gameplay for 20 years but people still play it. If you grind DBD as your main game it WILL get boring. Behavior needs to have community marketable skins like rust. The FOMO of weekly shop skins will flood BHVR with cash ($4.99 bikini outfit for Meg? I would buy 10 and sell the other 9 on the market when the shop rotates) . Speculative skin investors would take interest in the game. Adding game modes or additional objectives will clutter the simple addictive gameplay loop, unless it's done really really well.
rework offerings 80% of them are useless and the maps are OP
I’d personally love to see custom mode be more, well, custom! Let us mess around with survivor and killer movement speed, gravity, how many gens, survivors and killers there are.
I mean playing different games is healthy and helps you appreciate the simplicity in some and complexity of others. To answer your question tho, while I enjoy DBD. A lot of diversity in perks and characters, which enjoy most about the game. I do feel like DBD could be just as popular as Fortnite, if they were creative enough and put more effort with perks/events. Like as a player since Silent Hill Chapter, how many events are just going to be collect this and do gens? 😅 and while I’m grateful for free stuff and the enjoy the the core gameplay, kinda bothers me that they don’t go above and beyond (that’s just coming from a place of love for the game and wanting it to succeed). For example, when AoT skins came out, that was totally a missed opportunity to implement a new game mode where you can play as DBD character and titans around the map. Or even test to see if having perk where you use gear to scale you up as survivor (like in AoT). Damn that would’ve been amazing… so many ppl in the community have creative ideas, and aren’t scared. It’s just a shame on treasure the devs are sitting on.🤷🏽♂️💯 Sorry if this a long comment, I just wanted to give a solid statement.😁
They really should add a new objective it would change the meta greatly.
Dragonball Breakers has nailed multiple win conditions and objectives in my opinion. Killers are always having a chase, but I totally agree survivors need more objectives (which could also help gen speed balance).
IdV game modes: Chasing shadows (Mario kart with survivors), Rhapsody: dodge ball, duo hunters (duo killers vs 8 survs), Black Jack: survivors gather cards to get a black jack, the person with the highest card turns into the killer. There are power ups that let you steal cards give cards and trade cards. Tarot: each team has 4 players, 1 hunter on both sides, 3 survivors one of them is the king the goal is for the hunter to eliminate the king before exit gates Are powered.
Items in IdV: flare gun: stuns killers for a short time, hypno watch, cause the hunter to see a delayed image of the survivor they are chasing, perfume bottle: sets an after image saving the state the survivor was in the survivor has 6 seconds to return to the image. Football: allows a survivor to charge forward a short distance before entering a short exhausted state. Hunter traits: blink, blinks a short distance 140 second cool down, teleport: allows the hunter to teleport to cipher machines (gens) or exit gate panels, 90 second cool down. Peeper: places a peeper that reveals the aura of survivors that enter a 16 m range of it, 3 charges 30 second cool down per charge. Patroller: hunter controls a small dog thing that moves at a fast speed, can attach to survivors to delay their actions every 2-3 seconds. Listen: any hunter that uses this reveals a survivor interacting or moving to the hunter, 60 channel time can cancel at any time to regain it back, just don't move to counter play. There are so many things they could do to change up the game
I feel exactly the same. I'll get on and play one match and quit cause I've just done and seen everything the game has to offer. There should've been a new game mode added a year or two ago imo.
u got an onlyfans? how big is your butt?
New game mode, obviously 2v8… SWF and KWF, who wouldn’t love this!? I mean its been done at least like 2 times I’ve seen on YT.
I think more people should play prey instead
The gen meta for both sides is what's killing my interest in the game. I want to bring fun perks, but getting stomped by Overbrine Eruption/Stake out + Hyperfocus and BNPs over and over again makes me want to main another game tbh
here is a quirky idea, this would be for when survivors are not doing well in a game they can summon a mechanic spirit. the spirit of a old dead mechanic they can summon through the power of a ritual to the entity. so if survivors are falling behind lets say no gens have popped and the killer has 3 hooks or something idk the requirements before you;re able to summon the spirit guy but once survivors are falling behind you go to the shack or if the map has no shack to the area in front of main and you will see a circle on the ground. the survivor will look up and say some satanic stuff and the spirit will spawn into the realm. from there the spirt will follow you and if it is near a gen it will repair it as a normal survivor would. there would be little black boxes 3 of them max hidden around the on objects like tables, low objects etc… these little black boxes hold ruby's which would heal the spirit of 50 health. the spirit has 100 hp points and if the killer swing at it then it stops do whatever it is doing and is sliced in half glitching out until you give it a ruby. this mechanic seems complicated but I didn't know how to explain it the best so. the entire point in this is to help survivors who's games are going bad, the conditions that would have to happen before survivors are able to spawn him is complicated because when should you do this? since it is only mechanic to help you get back on progress not make the game easier giving you a extra person you know.
A big part of this for me is just burn out and new content not being exciting.
After wesker released I was staying pretty engaged because even though it was a LOT of wesker it was new content and content I for the most part enjoy playing as and against, that helps with burnout.
But knight? Don't play knight, and I groan every time I face one. His power is boring. You press 2 buttons and the survivor walks away from the loop or they die. Nor did any of his perks spice up the meta. The best one (NTH) is just a further enhancement to the absolute snore fest that is walking in circles in a 3 gen with COB OC and Eruption. Does not help burnout at all.
If BHVR were more consistent about making powers that are fun to use as well as face, I think it'd be a big help. Dredge artist, and knight were all kind of failures in that regard IMO. The onryo isn't totally unsalvagable, but she's just kind of underwhelming.
If you look at all the killers released in 2019, those are killers that are very fun to play and face: plague, ghostface, demo and oni. I think many people see that year of DBD as a pretty big success.
Even 2020 was decent. In 2020, we got deathslinger, pyramid, blight, and twins. Twins has a lot of baggage slowing them down, but the concept actually has potential to be fun. Deathslinger and pyramid are just average, but blight is a lot of fun and that was overall a decent year.
But you look at 2021 killers, and we have Trickster, nemmy, pinhead, artist. Yikes. Best killer of the year funwise was probably nemmy who is okay, but overall a horrible year. The other 3 are all pretty universally hated when it comes to playing against them, and they're mid with how fun they are to play. I think most people who were playing before then consider that a bad year, even if more people played because of the pandemic.
2021 and 2022 being pretty bad overall (with the exception of wesker and the meta shakeup) I think contributes a lot to this burnout
I recently started playing among us again and found they have a new game mode which is a hide n seek mode.
Basically the imposter is invincible and crew must survive by a short amount of time and doing objectives shortens the amount of time they must survive.
And I got to thinking this could be the rework dead by daylights game mode needs.
Instead of completing 5 generators to escape there’s 20 minutes survivors must stay alive and completing any of the generators at any point in the match shortens the time by 2 minutes.
This way even if 5 gens get tunneled in the first 3 minutes survivors must do a minimum of 10 minutes of chase assuming no other generators get done.
Killers have more room to commit to chase, more room to patrol, and many of the maps will definitely become far less survivor sided and require more of a brain with when to use pallets.
I know what can do bring back the old animations then it'll be more fun
I’ve been playing on and off since patch 6.1.0. DbD doesn’t feel fun anymore; I feel like bhvr got so lost in the balancing sauce and the new “competitive” mindset that most games turned into sweatfests. At the end of the day, when I come back home from work, I want to sit down and relax with my favorite game not play two matches and be reminded why I don’t play it as much anymore. It’s kinda sad to me ngl. I hope it’s just a phase but the longer this goes on the less I feel like it’s more than just a phase or a break from the game
I'm just bored of playing the same match against the same killers using the same perks.
Coming from someone who's played every other asymmetrical horror game beside DBD, I agree the game needs some sort of updated shakeup, whether it's a new game mode objective something to keep people interested. I think another reason why people are bored and leaving the game is that the horror identity that made people come to the game in the first place was destroyed by overbalancing and sbmm it seems that modern day dbd in a nutshell is a wannabe esports game trying to become a horror game and the devs don't know what they want their game to be🤔
It's saying alot that people are not interested in dbd anymore myself included, I'm just sick of the metas, the gens (which hold this game back) they need to innovative, learn from f13 even tho that game died it was still unique
If they don't start adding new stuff this year this game is going to have a new name.
Dead by Boredom.
i start playing dbd from 2017 5000 hours my opinion on dbd is the whole mmr system killed the game its used to be fun and and chill times. now you play the top tier killers with 4 slowdown and top addons vs 4man swf with medkits and map offerings sweaty stressful games for both sides with endless loop matches. if you play low tier killers againts swf with no weak link you pretty much lose as soon as the match start. now with mmr its more common to see nurses blights op addons maps swfs etc…
2 killer mode vs 8 survivor's with lager maps would be fun
It's boring as always ,they should introduce a 2 v 8 mode
So many great games on the way. Playing DBD is a waste of time right now if you ask me. Sadly there is no pot of gold at the end of that buggy rainbow called DBD.
