[@MrArkAngelz]

As a killer, I found myself playing over 70% my matches in lights out. I usually will play 5-10 matches with a different killer each game, then get off. I also found myself much more immersed, and not focused on the gens, survivor health states, etc, but just playing for the chase. It was much less stressful, and actually felt like I was playing a horror game, not a party game.

[@onezerotwo]

I absolutely loved it too, really fabulous mode for killer, that intense listening was really fun. It made injuring a player such an incredible death sentence if they didn't get far enough away I couldn't hear their whimpering, or if they stopped so early they were still bleeding. So happy not to have to deal with SWF or flashlight gangs or DS or whatever other garbage survivor "meta" is.

I don't know about you guys, but hearing Saga's scream makes me want to slug her. Or give her hatch. Or make her an obsession and run STBFL Literally anything to not assault my ears by hooking her

[@Lethal19]

I enjoyed how useful sound was in this event. Often I could hear survivors before I saw them. This gave a new utility to Plague, Legion and Huntress as they excel at quickly injuring and pressuring injured survivors

[@onezerotwo]

Legion was where most of my losses came from, a lot of people talked up Legion but I think that's false mostly, and they're going on KZbinr opinions and don't actually play the character. In Lights Out survivors were always so spread out I'd land the hit from Feral Frenzy and then realize there was nobody else around, so I'd have to cross half the map just to see another pulse and by then it was too late. I found the ability to be mostly useless. Cenobite was my king during this event.

[@Lethal19]

@@onezerotwo Legion felt strong because of their tracking and easy ability to injure survivors and keep them injured. I almost never was able to injure the whole team with the power but I think the strength came from how easy it was to catch one or two survivors by surprise with it. I agree with the Cenobite pick though! He seemed great with survivors not looping as effectively as they usually do

[@irregularassassin6380]

​@@onezerotwo That's Legion's basic weakness. Spreading out will always counter them. Basic positioning isn't a perk, lol, so the same tools that counter them in the regular mode will counter them here too.

[@Coulroperation]

I think it'd be sick, when a variant of this mode comes back in the future, if they allowed survivors to bless totems to create illuminated areas inside the boon radius. Just to add some kinda unique light vs darkness gameplay.

[@Foshling]

Xenomorph was the most fun to play as and against in this mode, just with the turrets giving some agency back to the survivors.

[@dogo7002]

Every single one of my killer games went the exact same: one person died early on, I catch two of them together and hook them both, and then I catch the final person before they got hatch. I played like six or seven lights out games as killer and only one of them went differently, and it was that the final survivor found hatch.

[@bigboi1068]

i mustve played at least 20 or 30 matches of lights out and every single one of them was either a 3k or 4k, no joke. Playing as some killers there really isnt much challenge at all. Blight moves too quickly for survivors to react and so doesn’t really have any downsides in the gamemode. Wraith is simply overpowered icl. His only pre chase counterplay no longer exists and its much harder for survivors to locate loops. Getting bodyblocked on a gen isnt even a survivors fault anymore because they simply cant see you coming.

[@IsThatDonnieDiddle]

Yeah the event was very killer favored not to say the survivors couldn't win but in soloq was hard as hell with a team it was a challenge I think the event was good though since it's a start for more stuff like this

[@raaaaawrbin]

got from bottom rank all the way to Iri 1 just by using this gamemode alone in half a day, coz I won every single one. not to mention there's entirely no MMR, I was getting a lot of 100-500 hour survivors as compared to the 1000hour and above ones in normal mode after i hit rank 1 I just used the mode to farm BP and let the survs go

[@AppleJackSix]

I liked not having to think about perks or addons, it was sooo nice. At the same time, I won almost game I played as killer and lost hard every game as survivor. It didn’t help that people mostly picked killers that are really strong in this mode.

[@theredgamer211]

If this is what bhvr considers to be their "gold standard" for LTMs, i think we're in trouble. If thid is just them findng out whst they can and cant do, then im cautiously optimistic

[@Shiokishisan]

i feel its more like a test. its a mode thats rather easy to implement and will cause the least amount of bugs. its like putting the toe into the water to check how warm it is. Lets be optimistic :)

[@its_saber1525]

@@epicphail2926 yeah I'm not trashing on the game mode or behavior at all? I'm just pointing out that if this is what the standard is I think that would be a miss in the long run

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

I played this mode entirely solo and I loved it, in fact I had pretty much given up DBD until this mode (I played maybe 1-2 matches a month if that) and I am now back to playing DBD daily due to this mode. I get why people hated it but for me it was refreshing and gave me a reason to actually play DBD again even if I died pretty much every time as surv

[@piralos1329]

Whilst far from the strongest killer in this mode, I was a HUGE fan of playing Myers!! Getting to check where survivors are by stalking (since you could stalk beyond your view distance), and being able to be in T3 with no terror radius really gave it a jumpscare feeling! I really enjoyed this event overall, I'm excited to see what else comes next! (Also I hope they add the lights out modifier to custom games!!!)

[@joemama-xg4qs]

honestly if they released it permanently and allowed it in custom lobbies i would've enjoyed it so much more, it felt like a gamemode that'd be so much better against friends

[@bradypahl]

Is this gamemode perfect? No but i do hope it returns with some slight tweaks. Like say every minute or so you get a flash of aura reading for both sides. Killer sees the survivors while survivors see the killer & teammates. Its just TOO much stripped info and the no perks just is asking for killers to tunnel. Also BHVR, please you should not be able to pip or lose pips in alt gamemodes.

[@nytecrow6452]

This mode feels good as a Survivor and a Killer. Long as the Killer is playing for fun and not Tunneling/Camping it brings the Horror aspect to life once more. No more teabagging. No more Locker Stun into Flashbang locks. No more bodyblocking with Endurance. No more 23rd 2nd chance perks. The stress and fear is back baby. Is it Killer-sided? Yes. But it is meant to be. You are called a Survivor for a reason and this mode reminds you what terror is.

[@NoreMakOfThe3]

I know that there's some problems and Otz and this team worked together to make this a fun game, but this video honestly looked more fun then normal DBD. Like, besides removing all the annoying meta shit of waiting out dead hard and decisive and all that shit that makes DBD more tedious than intense, I just noticed that the game is so much more quiet. Without a loud noise notification every 5 seconds, the game's audioscape becomes a million times more intense. Just music, screams, pallet drops, and killer noises. It sounds so much more scary. If the base game/killers were more balanced, they spruced up the darkness to be a little more visually appealing/spooky, and they gave survivors a unique tool that only exists in this gamemode (maybe a mode exclusive item or something) I would legitimately think this is the better version of the game (and might actually make me tempted to reinstall).

[@Thecarterstevens]

I thoroughly enjoyed Lights Out. I’ve played DBD for 3 years now and I felt it was a refreshing and simplistic way to play the game. And I actually had some jump scares which felt good. I hope it stays!

Honestly, by far the best part of lights out for me was the simple lack of flashlights, being able to pick up a survivor in the open without looking for people saving was so freeing.

[@slashie101]

I really enjoyed playing both killer and soloQ survivor, even if I didn't escape often as survivor. I think the community just seems to be burnt out and jaded in general, I think I was the only person I knew who enjoyed it

[@Blake_Stone]

That final survivor might've been going for the achievment "Left For Dead" which is very difficult to get under normal circumstances, requiring you to complete the final generator and escape after everyone else is dead. Very unlikely outcome unless the Killer takes pity on you and lets you leave.

[@razrPAIN]

[@kacperhagedorn2932]

Sadly this time I can't agree with you Otz. This game mode was great for me as solo survivor. First time for a long time I experienced DBD as horror game. I think the biggest issue that people have done (and that's why they disliked this mode) was to experiencing it as regular DBD but darker with no loadout. WRONG. If you treated this mode as new game at all and feel the fear of unknown as survivor you could be really spooked and excited about every match. From k1ller side, my girlfriend for the first time tried new k1llers on this mode and really enjoyed it, because she could try them without counter perks or bots that know everything, only pure power, knowledge and experience that she gained without worry about anything

I really liked the game mode, I haven't played dbd in a couple years or so and it was nice not having to learn all the little perk interactions I may face as killer. It was also a horror game again, and I quite enjoyed that aspect.

[@0marcus]

this game mode was fun when the killer understood how much of an advantage they had and that they could chill and go for silly plays that would otherwise lose you the game. in my survivor games i mostly hated it and played chill killer games instead that, i think, were fun for everybody

[@makashika]

I remember my best game on survivor was the very first one i played - Duo Queue with ignorant teammates vs. Myers. I beleieve i flashlight and grab saved one of them 3 or 4 times 😂. It was all in good fun though; i ended up getting facecamped in the end because the killer wasnt too happy about me playong super altruistically, but i was his only kill. Best match on killer was one that came after a long string of demo matches on yamaoka (i got the same map 6 times in a row and just stopped playing nicely- primarily by just playing in a comp playstyle because i was bored). It was a group of comp players that i recognized some of the people on their friends lists. Ended up playing it seriously and having a great back and forth with them, and in the end i got everyone. It was a pretty nice boost in confidence that we all took each other seriously and played well, and obviously because i had fun and so did they, i ended up letting the last two survivors out after downing them.

[@eliasar5051]

Lights out was far from perfect but I honestly believe that a lot of criticisms are based on people treating it literally the same way as the normal gameplay, including the sweatiness and antagonistic tribalism. Those types of arguments are simply as ignorant as their basis. Lights out actually made me play more again and have fun instead of coming out of many games with a bad taste in my mouth (after which I will return to my current state of things). I was having fun on both sides more often than not, (solo or 2-man swf) no matter whether I won or lost. The only times I had a miserable experience was when survivors or killers were not yet introduced to the concept of "fun" and treated it like sweaty main mode. I hope to see a more refined version of this as a periodic event, and more complex, harder to make and unique game modes in the future, however after seeing the "feedback" above mentioned people shared so passionately, I don´t think the actual new game mode is ever going to happen.

[@retrohero5475]

I kinda wish that, after a bit they let you add 1 perk or something like that. It would have been pretty neat! I also feel like the boosted spawn rates for some maps were a bit much. I would have loved to see a couple different ones but I kept landing on Lery's and Borgo

[@epicphail2926]

Easily the best game mode they could’ve added. Much prefer this over the base game ✌️

[@ItlsWhatltls]

You know what, I think they should put in terror radius. It’s still scary cause you don’t know which way the killer is coming from, but it helps reduce the amount of free hits and free down killers get that just flattens the match. If anything the terror radius will make it scarier cause with no terror radius you have to just play normal until you get a shock. But with a terror radius you could hear it but have no idea where the killer is and your on edge, and at least then your more aware and can react to the radius coming really close

[@4thChairMan_Dream]

Adding a terror radius will just make it a normal dbd match. It'll eliminate the jump scares because you know the killer is close

This game mode shows just how dependent survivors are on 2nd chance perks. I didn't lose a single killer match and tied very few times. With none of the meta perks the survivors HAVE to loop well and from my experience, if I have to guess, I would say 90% of survivors have zero clue how to loop well enough for a gamemode like this. That made Lights Out sooo killer sided.

[@LilithMalkah]

This gamemode was so annoying from survivors' side. I played a couple surv matches and every time it was a Legion who went for 4k.

Guys, girls and everyone in between. Let's think of new gamemodes! 🎉 If you have an idea (even a silly one😋) reply to this comment 📢 Let's share ideas for what we want to see in our game

[@fir3haz4rd50]

I'll go first. 🎊😛 There are fragments of energy 🔆 (like the archive fragments) scattered around the map. 🔪🧍‍♀️💨 Killers and survivors can pick them up. Energy fragments give +300% movement speed for 5 seconds. 🏎 I think this will be fun because instead of running for a window when the killer comes, you would run towards an energy fragment. 🎉 Imagine running super fast and then frantically searching for another fragment to keep your speed boost. Killers have they're own seperate fragments so they follow you at full speed chaining speed boosts! 🚗🏎✨

[@Alcadeias90]

Maybe it would be even better if there were no HUD elements whatsoever? No auras either. No hooks, gens, player icons, nothing. For survivors either, no timer for hooked survivors.

[@ultraleitor]

Is this gamemode an event? I hope not.

[@torei9261]

The single point I don't understand: why are people so afraid of challenges in dbd? They do everything to make their game as easy as possible which ultimately led to tunneling at 5 gens. In "Lights Out" people complain it got boring real fast? Really? After just playing Legion and Bubba you think it got boring? Maybe it's because you made it boring by trying your hardest to avoid challenging yourself. Who puts a game on easy mode and then complains about it being too easy? Lights out showed beautifully that some killers and survivors have absolutely no idea how to take the most value from the killers power. If they can't pain res and tunnel they loose quick and then complain about it. The only bad matches I had in lights out was against tunnel killers. Every other match felt good. Dbd was finally scary again.
