its not a big deal but i feel like they should allow 3 survivors to heal 1 survivor and they should also allow 2 of the same killer Edit: i also think you should able to change ur killer after finding a match cuz i wanna pick the killer that goes best with whoever my random is playing
Yeah, give the survivors ENDURANCE when the Killers are near each other. That would just make Killers not want to play at all, is that what you are going for?
With the amount of chests I've seen opened and that I've opened myself because you can't bring in items, A Plunderer class would be awesome. Something like rummaging through empty chests, open chests faster, getting better loot, maybe some sort of built to last or killer aura reading if they go near a chest you've interacted with or something.
I think the most annoying part about 2 killers on me is that I initially don't know the other is arriving because the terror radius doesn't change, I think it would be beneficial if they added a special terror radius when 2 killers are within a certain range of you instead of it just using one of them while they chase you. Some sort of slight haste would also be nice but I enjoy the game overall either way.
I feel it's been an unmatched disaster. I've stopped playing because regular dbd is now empty, and 2v8 has 2 people (at most!) doing gens, and all others running about blindly or crouching by the boundary. If it returns, it needs brutal penalties for a survivor not participating. Make it more fun if you contribute, and make it actively unpleasant if you don't.
While I enjoyed playing 2v8 on both sides, the biggest issue I faced with the whole experience was not earning any kind of grade towards the monthly "rank reset" rewards. I understand why it may not have been a part of it, but trying to play both game modes was just not happening for me. With queue times, you really have to commit to one or the other. This past month was the first month in forever that I didn't hit Iri 1 on at least survivor. I would like to see the mode contribute towards grade, even if it's a bit different than the core mode.
The only part that I think is actually bad with 2v8 is how long it takes for your hook to move once the killer's terror radius gets near the hook. The amount of times I have been pulled off of the hook then immediately chased by the killer and then 2v1'd immediately to go back on hook became more and more common as the game mode went on. When everyone gets chased evenly I LOVE 2v8 but when they go after survivors one by one I feel like its severely unfun for the person whos turn it is to be chased into another lobby. Like THAT is a unfun situation to be in because with 2v8 I cant even waste time I just get downed if they get close enough to clap me into oblivion. Everything else like the other killer appearing mid chase is fine cause they have to work together so its not shocking that they would do that when allowed to.
they could also better the reward for playing surv. I'm a new player, but I would've played the hell out of surv if any other currency was offered other than bp. Becauses it's like bp's aren't easy nor are they hard. And honsetly I didn't even notice the 400% because I'm just shit as surv. But if there were the purple, blue, or yellow things. Now then I would've played a lot more of surv. Because I only got like three killers. two from a pack many years ago when I bought the game. And one from building up enough rewards.
2 v 8 would be more fun for everyone if they just added perks on top of classes. i think all the classes are okay but would be more fun with perks, so you pick your class and pick 2 perks as well, and the killer side would be more fun with perks obviously. each killer could bring 2 perks and each survivor can bring 2 perks.
One thing I really liked was the status effect whenever the killer had aura on you. One thing I find exhausting in regular games is wondering if the killer has bbq, nurses, nowhere to hide, etc.

If 2v8 becomes a mainstay, I'll actually redownload DBD. I missed it this last go around, seems like an absolute blast.
2 v 8 is so fun im sad its leaving
Ninja class(stealth) and inforcer(specialices on stun)

If you're going to add the endurance while killers are close thing… they probably shouldnt have killer's powers revolve around being close together.
2v8 is popular because we don't need to use brain.
just like playing wraith.
But if they add more things we can do, it ends up being the same as 1v4.
personally i found both sides fun
the only reason i preferred killer was because it was MORE fun
i think to some degree that's the problem
survivor is still really fun but KILLER is so much more fun
that and finally being able to play killer with a friend

Maybe give different killers a BP bonus judged by how little of a certain one there is.

I greatly enjoyed playing 1 of the 2 useful classes and having nothing to do to the point of watching Netflix while playing 8-surv. So fun.
The Surv side needs MAJOR changes, nobody I know was still playing it after the first 4 days

Double hits are fine the way it is right now

More killers. Unknown, blight, dredge, doctor, slinger and clown would all be so fun
