Are we not getting 2v8 ever then?

I dont think lights out was the survey winner?

People are talking 2v8 since years but we get lights out instead, why?

What you mean by that? how long can it possibly take them to get 2v8 done and why waste time on something else when the community clearly wants 2v8 for so long?

Other games can have multiple gamemodes just fine and the playercount is very steady too for DBD. Behaviour interactive is not a small indie company i think.

You think they can balance a 2v8?

they constantly balance a 1v4? its better than it ever was balance wise, thats not an argument against 2v8. its the same just anything twice.

Two words, code spaghetti. Even unofficial mod of 2v8 is quite broken and it would take too long to fix everything to how it should be.

then why they have it on the survey as an option even. Making false hopes.

A long time ago DBD had the choice to either make the game prettier or make it run better (this second option would have been necessary to have 10-12 players on a map).

The game barely runs with Nemesis with 2 zombies and 4 survivors. Consoles could not handle 7 mobile objects without adjustments. This is a problem because DBD is now married with consoles who are a large portion of their player base.

In one sense they can't balance 1v4 so they have little chance at 2v8; but it would be extremely fun.

Because Lights Out is a lot easier to make. I believe 2vs8 will happen at some point, but it may take a while.

Considering DBD's matchmaking woes the game cannot currently handle a 2v8 que. The waiting times for both modes would become ridiculous.

Lights out looks like it can be made in like a week of work with some lighting changes. Of course they choose the lowest hanging fruit. Honestly I'm pretty new player and really bummed I'm not getting a first lunar event or (hearing first time) 2v8 that would be so broken in the most hilarious ways and fun

[Meme do Galo]

The 2x8 mode is among the most voted, a behavior already knows that this is the most expected mode

Basically somthing they could whip up in like a afternoon... Why are we not getting lunar event again?

It'll come. There's too many people asking for it for it not to come. They're most likely just testing out how many people would like the lights out mode, and see how it works.
