We need a voicechat system for survivor

[Astrostars2025]

Swifs such as mine just use discord anyways, in game vc would go a long way in helping solo queue (if people feel like talking). An indicator for when other survivors hide in lockers would also be useful as well since VHS has that.

Text chat would be enough. It would close the gap to SWF a bit.

"Claud, can you go for the unhook, our gen here is about to get done?"
"no"

I'd rather see an extension of commands, maybe pre-set messages for things survivors can't portray yet. Maybe just a marker next to the survivor's icon and name on the list like the generator icon is. Things like a totem with an exclamation mark to state they see a Hex, being able to state the Killer as a text when they get in chase with them to announce what it is.

I like the vague display of information towards eachother, but as it stands it makes it really hard to balance between four randoms that don't know eachother and a full team of SWF. Allowing for some form of communication I think would be good for them to be able to properly balance with a little less obscurity. Obviously even a 4 man SWF would do a better job since they wouldn't have to fumble with buttons and call some things out sooner.

I don't know, I just feel like there's such an issue with playing with my friends that there should be some means of equilibrium.

the most comms i will tolerate with dbd randoms is a scroll wheel of prompts (like others have mentioned) like "i'm going for the save!".

Yes! That is literally all we need.

I know we can not have VC because people are so toxic.
But every time I think of it all I can hear in my head is Dwight walking by behind me. " Maybe it's a nice killer?"
1 minute later Dwight running back by " it's not nice! It's not nice! aghhhhh!"

Who would have thought, talking to strangers is the horror aspect for survivors in this game.

proximity chat would be awesome i would genuinely love getting sh*t talked by the killer on hook lol.

Oh yes give the survivors their 5000th tool to use. While you're at it just nerf killers to only have a squeaky hammer as a melee weapon that does no damage.

That's what survivor unironically ask for.

I really don't understand this perspective; survivors already have this tool and the game isn't balanced around it. It's the worst possible configuration for you.

Balancing the game around voice chat would be terrible for survivor. Many people - myself included - would disable any in-game voice chat immediately. Now you are playing a game balanced around survivors being able to talk to one another with many survivors not using this feature, making solo queue even more of a mess.

No thanks.

Your pov is fair. All I will say is that this already happens. Bhvr lumps this into "swf" advantage and swfs treat solos unfairly on occasion. If implemented lightly, it wouldn't matter whether solos used vc or not (pre selected call outs would be fine). People will be "toxic" either way but one way removes the gray area that complicates balancing the game.
