Things I Like About DBD (plus some things I don't) 

The community is something that you might like sometimes and you might hate sometimes

An Idea I've had for a while has been for additional survivor obstacles they can vault depending on the player character height. Dead Dawg Saloon shack has a knee high gap on one of the walls so why not let players crawl slowly through it? Shorter models can essentially slide through it at rushed vault speed when running with tall characters restricted to slow or medium crawl at best. Add a bunch more like that to other maps. Short/Medium height killers follow the same interaction with Tall being restricted to a lunge grab or hit. For tall kings we can add small ledges or gaps like a missing AC on the wall for them to leap through with the same restrictions applied to short/med survivors and killers. Add a feature where instead of the routes being blocked by the entity just have them take limited uses before breaking and becoming inaccessable for the remainder of the trial and killers can remove 1 "health" from them per break animation too.

I entirely agree with dislike #2 about Survivor being too simple. I feel like if they made it so we had to gather gasoline/wrenches etc. but then decrease gen repair time, it would make the game feel much more refreshing and potentially stop 3 gen killers. I would also love if they added more interactive elements, similar to how the bell in the gas station goes off after entering. Maybe like a pet Maurice animation, and something interactible with the carnival itself.

1. All of your likes mirror my own, ARoberts. You have such a humble yet strong appreciation for everything. 👏 2. One thing I love about DBD is how it immortalizes/revives licenses. There are the ones like Bill and Tapp who sadly died in their franchises and then you have others like Cheryl and Yoichi whose stories ended with them losing their parents and you're left wondering what became of them after. Quentin gained a fanbase because of DBD and is now considered to be the only true gem of the 2010 Elm St reboot. I love that these characters aren't alone anymore. They now have a second chance at family, even with the suffering. It's so fun to imagine how they would interact with one another too! I bet Ash flirts with all the Resident Evil ladies!😂 3. One dislike I have is that the devs struggle with delegation. Balance shouldn't just be a nerf dependant on usage rates. They should buff unpopular perks or addons based on community feedback. They started changing the graphics of the maps three years ago but it's only now that they're actually messing with the structures. Map design is still a present issue so it feels like a waste. They stubbornly refuse to remove things like MMR and Billy's overheat. It feels like DBD has become more quantity over quality over the years. Thank you if you read. ❤

I think a big problem that also ties into getting mad at perk picks and rulebooks, is the prisoner's dilemma: the killer and survivors can choose to either bring meta and play mean, or not bring meta and go easy on the other side. The most fun would be had if both sides just went in to have fun without stacking annoying meta perks, but both sides are aware that the other side is very, very likely to stack 4 adrenalines or use heavy gen slowdown which effectively forces everyone into picking meta and creating a less fun situation, also making people feel like they can't risk messing around a little with a niche perk or strategy as it could easily lose them the game. This is definitely frustrating, even more so for people who thoroughly enjoy certain non-meta picks (i.e. trapper mains). Also, the feeling of being out-perked is awful, as there are simply times when you played better than the other side but their perks won them the game anyway.

I was thinking earlier it would be cool if every survivor had an item unique to them.

I’d like to see a game mode where the trial plays out as normal but both killer and survivor perks are completely randomised by whatever ones that character has available. You wouldn’t get meta builds unless you were lucky and it keeps it interesting seeing what set up you’re given.

It would be interesting if survivors had a “class system” where instead of each survivor having their own ability, survivors are classified as “stealth based, healing based, scavenger based” or whatever lol, and every survivor within that class share the same ability. That way it’s less of a nightmare to balance but it makes a certain pool of characters feel a little different than another

for the longest i wanted what you mentioned at the end of the video. something for survivors that would make them feel unique! like each one of the survivors teachable perk become basekit on them. i think it would easy and quick. for example every new survivor that comes out, come with 3 teachables and 1 special ability ( a perk but not so overpowered ) like that one perk Tapp has that allows him to see every generator and totems and everything each time a generator gets done. or like Jill having blast mine. those silly and fun perks that don't have huge impact on the trial would be great

Another Banger!

compleeeetely agree!!! Especially with introducing something to make survivors more unique, even if it was just a small bonus added to each perk if its assigned to its original survivor.

One match the endgame chat will be the most wholesome thing after the survivors got a 4 man out, the next game the endgame chat will be more toxic than cyanide and it was a 2 kill 2 escape draw. I always find that funny, I love this community sometimes and can't stand it other times.

They had to add MMR, because many players treat it as a competitive game. With MMR you aren't even really safe from competitive opponents, but its definitely better with MMR, because back when there was no SBMM you were forced to bring certain perks instead of having some fun. At a point the game became so unfun to me I didn't touch it for over a year until SBMM was added. And now my longest break was a few months. So in my opinion MMR helped the game by a large margin.

Here's something I do that might help with your Dislike 5: I like having different builds and loadouts on each of my survivors, allowing me to think of each of them as a different 'class'. Like if I want to run a healing build, I'll select Claudette or Yoichi, who have two different healing builds that emphasize different things. If I want to run an item build, I'll choose Ace, who I've build entirely around Plunderer's Instinct (I try to build each character based on their lore so it fits them more and really lean into the pseudo class system). I have builds for everyone. Jill has an endurance tanking build. Nancy has an endgame build. Bills is all about unhooking. Mikaela has an anti-totem build (I like the irony). Building each Survivor into their own identity really helps me differentiate them without there needing to be an actual game-changing system in place.

One thing I love about the game is the licensed killers. One thing I dislike about the game is none of said licensed killers are Goku

Not a real suggestion for next video, but have you considered collabs or directly having viewers be a part of the video? Like having a channel member be a guest speaker or something

I agree about the community its one of the things I hate the most. Some ppl are nice. But the nasty ones are extra nasty. I voted on a poll that's asked ppl if they had a bad match if they would take it out on the next group. The majority said yes... I was so disappointed at the maturity levels. Nobody should be getting mad at anybody for playing the game as intended. I may even shake my head at other survivors for bullying the k1ller t bagging etc. But as k1ller that does not trigger me. I literally had a k1ller tell me that protection hits and getting a 4 man out was toxic. I'll even shame survivors who say negative things about the other side. It's just so chaotic and high emotions. I'm just glad I don't have chat. I definitely agree with the music. I do love it. I remember the ominous feeling waiting on a lobby as claudette and the music giving me such an anxiety and melancholy at the same time. That's back when I was scared of the game. It's still really cool imo

The one thing that interested me most from the video was that last idea of giving abilities to survivor. I feel they should think about this in the future when it's possible cause it is a really cool idea. Maybe like a small boost to something based on that survivor or a certain thing they can do in game sort of like this masquerade event. Definitely agree with these picks even if it is for different reasons sometimes or I don't agree with some of the thoughts to it.

Okay so here is an idea I’ve heard - unique(ish) items that can be found in the trial (for ex. Dwight has a key that finds survivors and buffs the others, or jake has a sabo box better than the Alex box)

I just play survivor for the most part, though I do my killer dailies usually. I think gradually removing looping as the central interaction in the game would fix a lot. It was not the original intent. The horror is gone. The immersion is gone. There is no hiding and many players openly mock others players that play that way. It is a horror game that looping has turned into tag.

I think survivor stats might be interesting. Mikaela can boon quicker. Meg can run faster Claudette heals faster.

Totally agree with the chase music updates. It's sad though, I want Bubba to have his own twisted chase music. Give me some in the woods banjo with metal influence lol

One thing that's bugged me lately is dc's. I'd say a good half of my games on both sides, somebody disconnects after going down. I dont wanna be the killer that kills everyone after a DC, but it's every damn game. I dont get how being hooked once is too much for someone to handle. I get hooked and get face camped and still don't DC. AM I alone here?

I’ve never really been one to tell someone what perks they should run except for one time. Starstruck Nurse on Midwich. That was my only exception 😭

The trial does end. It takes an hour and then it just ends

love your content, keep it up 🙌

I think there should be a timer, with 35 minutes max for how long match should last. Said timer starts after the first gen is complete or after the first survivor is hooked, when all gens are complete and thrbexot gate is open said timer becomes shortened to 5 minutes, no ifs and or buts server cuts out and the game ends.

I think you should do a vid tier listing every killer locker animation when they find a survivor in there. I'm sorry if I'm being like the most demanding viewer you have, but your just my #1 dbd youtuber

12:04 I was in a 3 person SWF w my friends. I died first as usual, but the killer tunneled Friend 1 out bc they thought Friend 2 was hacking healing when Friend 2 was just running 2 perks that make healing faster. You dont need to play the other side in DBD to know what the others perks do, and its doubly dumb to assume malice in a trial that is going your way lol

I had an idea, that from 3 perks that every survivor brings, two of them are teachables and one is unique only for them. Also, survivors cannot unequip unique perk.

i agree with everything you mentioned,especially the survivor uniquness (sorry if i wrote it wrong)

BHVR needs to give us a 5 perk loadout for killer/survivor 🤣🤣. Also they should stop trying to balance each side out, let both sides be broken in their own ways 😈. Having strong perks is dope if both sides have it. For example, circle of healing was dope against a killer trying to 3 gen, but they gutted Circle of healing, buffed deja vu and got rid of some 3 gen perks for killers. It’s nice trying to find a broken build that will prevail against another broken build. Everybody having some weak perks makes the game feel boring and stale. But just my opinion 😁

The cut off for the time limit is a hour. Your right its way to long as of now.

Finally someone really talks about it, about the music in dbd has to be talked more. It's just so incredibly great everytime and I love the classic Dbd Theme And about the license I think they should really add Alien or Pennywise (or both) in the next time to the game if that's possible. They would fit really well

The next time you do a stream, can you do one with playing as a survivor?

I always thought of how its weird that killers are unique while survivor is basically just cosmetic, especially because i prefer varieties on the characters on games i play. I keep having this idea if survivor got like unique unteachable perks or unique items for each survivor or unique addons even, anything's fine for uniqueness. Then again there is identity v where each survivor is actually unique so sometimes i play that instead

The game is meant to have a simple gameplay loop, bro half my team can’t even do gens in solo q. The last thing they need is more objectives, that’s why The Texas Chainsaw game has more to add. But I like the ideas.

yeah no i've been in games as killer where i sat there facing the corner for like 30 minutes cause they hid from me constantly and I literally could not find them so i afk'ed and played/watched something else on the side

MMR is definitely an issue and something that should not be in a casual non fps game imo. Ive had games where survivors give up then next couple are sweaty p60+ survivors against my p2 killer lol Also this is just my hot take but i do feel like alot of the maps are survivor sided. I know good killers can do well on them but im an average player and it can be pain sometimes. Why i like nemesis cause hes not really map dependant like other killers

I agree with everything you said except for not liking mmr I actually think it makes the game more fun I feel like with random mmr the game would be too easy but I also don’t feel like dbd is a party game anymore

There is actually a time limit but it's set on 2 hours. If you manage to get there the trial just ends. It looks like the killer just disconnects, so you don't even get a visible timer. I think the timer was only built in so killers couldn't body block a survivor in a small space forever.

my opinion on mmr is that is fundamental BECAUSE dbd SHOULD be a party game, but it isn't... thats the issue is at the same time we removed MMR claiming it to be a benefactor, we've also now hit a point in DBDs meta where it feels competitive everytime you play just to win and this idea that dbd isn't about "winning" or "surviving or getting enough kills" is absolutely blind imo as thats one persons experience. to sum dbd down to blood points being your objective sounds like a desperate attempt to cope with the fact that DBD is just simply not a winning or losing game anymore anyway because you always sort of lose....

The idea about gens is disgusting. Imagine a huge map. On such maps the killer usually forgets about distant generators and patrols several nearby. Now imagine that the survivors will be able to "break" one or few of them. Disgusting If you add unique abilities to the survivors, there will always be some dude in the lobby who will say: "Hey, don't take Meg, her ability is bad. Take that character". Disgusting

I think 45 mins is a good cutoff because I've had 30 min real games

Are you coming up with the idea now bro ? For survivors that could beat killers

A comment for supporting the video

I don't mind how someone plays they can even camp and I don't care, but tunneling is just wrong because you're purposefully ruining someones game

so first of all. i'm going to say right off the bat that i am not at all saying identity v is better than dbd. it's not. and i'm sad that i have to make this disclaimer but it needed to be said however, about dislike number five: in identity v, survivors do have unique abilities like hunters / killers do!! for example, one survivor is able to heal herself or another teammate gradually over twenty seconds. another is able to disappear for a short time and leave behind an "afterimage" of himself. a third can connect ciphers (the game's version of generators) and transfer progress between them. most of them are unrealistic and a little goofy (esp. the later ones) but they definitely serve to keep the game interesting, especially since every survivor also comes with their own unique buffs and debuffs relating to their characters and backstories!! every survivor is unique, and they're just as fun and interesting to master as hunters / killers - there are plenty for every playstyle. it makes games so much more interesting

1.The game itself

I don't like about the game is giving survivor a perk that gives him second chance or you need hit 3 time to down a survivor just a help of one perk and I don't like the killer can camp 3 gen the genarator should be so far then each other and I like about dead by daylight is behaviour bringing the monster type of original killers which is the game needs and other thing I love about DBD is dbd can't not be balance forever there will something will stop to balance the game like Gabriel soma bring mind blowing perks in the game which becomes meta like David so if behaviour bringing one side unbalanced perks then I think dbd will never ever be balance so yes that's it

I actually like survivors being "skins". Lets me play who I want to, instead of trying to game some kind of an advantage.

I agree that survivors should be a lil more unique. I think it would be cool if every survivor had an ability they could use once per trial, a little bit like the event abilities (blocking a window once, creating a pallet etc.) or like rummaging a chest for a unique item once per trial. Things of that nature.

12:04 oh hell nah im not going to respect the “skill” that survivors have in our current W key meta. people instead of looping are just holding w with made for this. im not going to respect people for bringing brand new part cus round end really fast, faster then 10 mins ( everage match ) edit: lightbron is only anoying cus you get no value from flashlight, there js alot of fun in saving your friends with a flishlight or making a build that works only with flashlight.

dislike 5 ..is really a genius idea
