Opinions on the new 2v8?

[Igris]

Played my first game, 5 of the survivors DC'd upon first down. Classic.
Played my second game, 4 of them DC'd the moment they got gang banged.

The only gripe I have is that I don't think these indoor maps with narrow hallways are ideal for 2v8, if we are gonna see more and more of this mode, they should either just use og maps or start making ones with 2v8 in mind. I mean, none of these maps were made with 2v8 on their minds.

Other than that, I'd say I like the rest.

game starts with 2 bots -> survivors will quit playing 2v8 based on that fact-> killer queue will be even longer cause there wont be as big of a surv pool -> mastermind behind this idea will continue thinking it was a good idea

CHRIST ON A STICK, I just realised there's TWO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ levels to this archive. I think I'm just gonna pass on this. It is not worth this ♥♥♥♥, suffering through this ass of a game mode just to get the rift fragments. God, it's so terrible.

I think I'm going on a 14 day vacation. DbD is absolute garbage right now. Queues are forever while this disaster of a game mode is running.

I really liked the first 2v8. The pacing was fast since Killers did not need to stand in one spot for like 7 seconds doing nothing while they waited for the pickup and hook animations to play out. They stomped the Survivor and that was that, everyone got to get back to playing the game faster. The generators could be completed very quickly, but as Killer I did not feel so pressured as in the 1v4 mode. Most games in this mode ended in 4-6 kills.

The second 2v8 mode was really bad in comparison to the first. Nothing to reduce Killer queue times, and Killers now had to wait for 7 seconds whenever they wanted to hook someone. Additionally, Survivors got "basekit" Unbreakable and they could rebuild pallets. Nothing like breaking a god pallet on a map for the 7th time in a row. Most games in this mode ended in 1-3 kills.

This version is only slightly above the previous 2v8, but still nowhere near as good as the first. And the only reason this one gains points is because I can now play Wesker or Nemesis with another Killer on the big RPD map. And Nemesis gets to keep his two zombies that provide next to zero value in most games aside from sometimes a hint of where a Survivor might be. That's it. The rest is basically the same as the previous 2v8 and therefore it still has the same problems. Bad pacing that slows down the gameplay due to not being able to stomp Survivors to send them to a cage anymore. Breaking god pallets 7 times in a row. Overall only slightly more fun than last time because of the RE theme, but still WAY less fun than the first 2v8.

Additionally, the Survivor players are still just as rude in the end game chat as in the second version. First 2v8 was nice because if the Survivors weren't being nice in chat, they just didn't say anything at all. But now its just like playing the regular mode, people are acting like sore losers AND sore winners.

give survivors something more than only +200%

There's a lot of very valuable feedback on this thread; it means a lot to us that you care enough to share your thoughts.
I'll be making sure this all gets back to the team, the positives and the negatives alike.

Just rip the cord, cancel the mode, nothing to scrap.

ITS kinda sucks as impossible for survivor. the point of the game is not to escape but hunting spree for killer only. Survivor will never escape period. play for the points only

[blowup]

it's really fun

[oOMeowOo]

Please make bots prioritize doing generators. Even bots with the Guide class keep running from cage to cage, taking the easiest points from players.

Also, bots shouldn't have access to the Scout class – even without it, finding a bot as a killer is difficult.
Often at the end of the match, I realize that the survivors controlled by real players are dead, while the bots escape through the hatch. Or they just escape first through the gate, and I think it should be the other way around.

I think bots doing gens would actually improve survivor gameplay.

long story short, i LOVE it minus the queue times for killer. i'm making a big dent in some lego building and reading my book during my waiting times though lol

Played a few sessions now and it’s unbalanced and demotivating. As a killer you have to wait for an eternity to get your chance to play & if you are a survivor you don’t stand a chance. I really think it needs to be balanced like less gens or killers need to hook up

[アウトコールド]

i prefer the indoor maps. 2v8 in outdoor maps is way over played. I like to change things up.

For Killers it's total bs. it's just a waiting for lobby simulator. i doubt next 2v8 will be any different 'cause you won't improve
