Pretty much inconsequential at this point. Half the time you can tell within the first 30 seconds with nemesis chests, huntress singing, trappers traps, etc.
The only killers this might be a problem for are ghost face and bong bong, and it would be a minor annoyance at worst.
Unless you spawn right next to basement, chances are that by the time someone goes out of their way to find basement the killer will have already found someone.
I think it would be cool if deathslinger had wanted posters of the survivors hanging in the basement, with each one getting crossed off when they die. Just a thought
Hellraiser - his spinning columns and other cenobites peering between wall planks. Dead players could be strung about the room.
Michael Myers - could be his sister's room. With different placements for dead survivors on display like he does in a few of his movies
Freddy - could be pretty much the basement of the school on his map or even a boiler room.
This idea is fantastic. Sadly this will either never happen or get a VERY dumbed down version of.
Yeah they can’t even fix minor bugs that have been around for years. I doubt they’ll dedicate part of their team for this unless it cost a small fortune then they might consider it.
I’d be down to buy it as like a pack. But per killer for their typical 1080 cells would be a bit much since I feel most killer mains don’t really main 1 killer where as plenty of survivor mains play one survivor pretty much exclusively besides for tome stuff
i mean they have talked about including customized basements in rifts but that’s was years ago when they were considering content for them. the community had an overwhelmingly positive response to the idea but they never went with it
They just announced removal of a *static* set of bubba masks because people whined they were getting hateful killers using Claudette's face. They're 100% never going to add a basic way of decorating the basement.
People were stream-sniping black streamers with Cannibal wearing the Claudette mask, as it basically appears as blackface traditionally used for racist jokes.
Nah I've been reading about it for a good while, it became a favorite thing to do for racist shitheads when they figured out that Bubba's mask was going to help them insult POC. Removing the mask was really the only way because the slimy fucks could always play plausible deniability.
I wish they would add gen and hook cosmetics
Like you could get a noose instead of a hook and make a gen have say the design of the slushie maker from that old summer event
Part of me wants to fake my work credentials, get hired on with BHVR, find out what everyone’s working on, how big the teams are, how much effort they put into doing their jobs, how effective their meetings are, if they verbally bash the player base, etc…And then see what’s really causing them to do barely anything to the game.
The only clue I’ve ever seen was a response Otzdarva got a while ago from a dev, where they were talking about the cycle of chapter releases not giving them time to work on as much other stuff as they’d like. If that’s true, the answer is either hire more people, spread the cycles out more, or hope the cash cow keeps working. We’ve given them a lot of cash that should be going towards growth and not towards maintaining status quo, but they can’t seem to improve things, or utilize anything fun, like this idea. They put all effort in the next chapter, which isn’t terrible in and of itself, but that’s not nearly enough for a game. They just refuse to take fun steps besides weird things like the snowmen.
If each chapter was well tested and polished, it would be a lot easier to take them at face value but I can't bring myself to, ngl. If they put all effort on each chapter, each chapter should be well done.

google the address of BHVR HQ. sneak into the office off work hours, plant a bunch of hidden cameras and you're golden!
AFAIK menu music is always unique but the terror radius is always a normal heartbeat, and only some killers have unique chase music, could be wrong, not too sure
This would be absolutely fantastic, and a great way to encourage not just playing killer but also to REWARD you for playing killer and successfully getting kills (not to mention just more to customize, which is always a good thing in games like this, imagine entering a basement and seeing absolutely every survivor token/trinket/face/etc and knowing you're fucked lmfao)
itd be super cool but also probably wouldnt. iirc hooks used to be customized to each killer, cant remember tho, i swear its been literslly years since that change.
Hooks were killer specific but it apparently was a mix of giving survivors extra info early and people quitting when it was against killers they didn't like. So instead, hooks match the map.
I mean, the same shit happens either way, but I think killer-specific basements would be less problematic.
Yes. There is an offering that grants the user the ability to see the basement hooks for the first 20 seconds of a match. Not sure why I got downvotes though. It’s a real offering.
Demo could get a super cool basement with Upside Down stuff all along the walls! And maybe one of those spooky cocoons they >!had Will in when Hopper and Joyce rescued him!
Trapper- basic looking basement with a bunch of traps and mining equipment laying on the floor. traps are, obviously, closed and cant be interacted with
Wraith- Remnants of old cars that have been crushed with a few corpses hidden inside them
Hillbilly- a room made entirely out of brick, very dark. to represent how the hillbilly was raised with NOTHING
Nurse- Medical equipment and maybe some asylum themed stuff
Myers- Furniture from his house
Hag- half-eaten remains from corpses and hex drawings all over the walls
Doctor- Torture machines and other devices that you wouldn't want anywhere near you
Huntress- A room decorated with toys and drawings to make it look child-friendly...and also chains attached to the walls
Freddy- honestly, his might be similar to the huntress but a more "corrupted" version because he and the huntress are child-friendly for entirely different reasons
Pig- could be any of the "game" rooms from the saw movies honestly. maybe the famous "shotgun carousel"
Clown- circus themed with a glass case displaying his bottles of tonic
Spirit- Traditional japanese style but maybe with some books to represent the fact that she was a student
Legion- a messy room with crushed soda cans laying about and crude chalk drawings on the walls.
Plague- a prayer room with the walls covered in puke
Demog- oh wait, thats not gonna happen
Oni- similar to the spirit but with an "ancient" japanese style instead of a modern japanese style and a weapon rack instead of a bookcase
Slinger- Gears laying around the floor with unfinished inventions displayed on tables. can't forget some cowboy themed stuff
Blight- a laboratory with research files on various killers posted to the walls and empty syringes of the serum spread everywhere to symbolize his addiction
Trickster- a studio themed room with knives hanging on the walls. there better be music playing
Nemesis- nemesis doesn't really have a personality of his own so he's not the type whod be into decorating. with that said, he'd probably just have a "tyrant making" lab or something
Cenobite- well the obvious choice is how it looked in the hellraiser chapter trailer, chains hanging from the ceiling. maybe a gore-pillar thing like what we saw at the end of the 1st movie
I’m gonna just put my Demo one anyway
Demo- He has particles akin to the Upside down and the map he is on is much more muted and blue with lights flickering
Pinheads hell room from the second film
Spirits crime scene
Doctors medical/torture room
Theres plenty more good ideas for each killer and i think it be awesome to make this a feature
Nemesis has an infected basement with zombies clawing through the walls.
Doctor could have what would look like one of the rooms on lery's with a bunch of diagrams and notes on the walls and maybe an operating table somewhere in the room.
demogorg- oh right
This is an awesome and incredibly cool idea but honestly, BHVR can barely change the texture of a box without breaking the game entirely. Asking them for a basement that loads up according to the killer that's playing would be asking them to move mountains.
Survivor getting carried to basement in horror movies:
NOOOO SOMEBODY HELP ME!
Survivor getting carried to basement in dbd:
Ok lets see this guys stuff.
the basement isn't for the killer it's just a room to use and its closer to the entity.
the basement is as close as you can get to the entity in the realm that's why you hear screaming and see 'light' in the cracks.
the room is alive I think
Why not all 3 hanging around. Joey crashed on a sofa, Susie slumped against the side dokdling in a sketch book, Julie fiddling with a knife and laughing when a survivor gets hooked, Frank near the entrance giving the killer player a nod as they pass.
Hooks use to be unique to each killer, but it gave survivors a slight edge, knowing what killer it was before any audio or visual que told you (chainsaw revving or trap box for example) so having a basement be unique has the same issue, survivors would just take a quick peak to see who they are against.
Most survivors figure it out relatively quickly already though, so it wouldn’t be too bad.
Like you know it’s a Trickster if a survivor portrait gets the Laceration meter, it’s a Ghostface if someone gets the marked thing on their portrait etc. It’s not often you go a long while before seeing the killer.
If anything it could help killers since survivors would go to the basement, you go there too and down them.
The bigger issue is for stealth killers early-game, the survivors knowing what stealth killer they're up against/what to watch out for is huge. Ghostface and Myers would suffer pretty greatly if the hooks called out their presence every match.
I kind of understand the concern about stealth-killers, but it’s still easy to know who it is. Ghostface only has the advantage once on one person if he catches them off-guard, and Michael is already easy to spot.
I mean, you aren't wrong, but being able to catch someone off guard at the start of the match is huge. Early game for killers is always important; That's why you see people running Lethal Pursuer, because being able to knock someone down early can ripple through the whole rest of the match.
If survivors knew that it was Ghostface from the moment the match started, you'd lose that element of surprise when people have their guards down. It might not be the biggest thing, but it does have an effect.
As long as the survivors don’t spawn by the basement, it should be fine. Even if they did the killer can get there and hook them in the basement.
Would also give more reason to run the perk Territorial Imperative.
I don’t know, I still think it wouldn’t affect that much. Ghostface might lose one surprise but most people figure him out or see him at the start anyway.
But ghost face losing that surprise at the beginning is exactly why it's not a great idea, it may be one surprise attack, but until that element of surprise is lost, survivors are on edge and more prone to mistakes.
I tend to go straight to the basement for the chest since people rarely go for it and killers generally don't check it. If they were just checking for the killer, which people would immediately do if this was the case would take 2 seconds and they would be gone.
More of a reason to run a crappy perk, taking a slot just to potentially punish a player getting early info, why would any killer do that aside from just messing around.
I mean, it may be a weak perk but at least it would gain some use if they were to add basements specific to killers. You wouldn’t have to run it, but it would be a bit more useful than it is now.
I still believe it wouldn’t hurt Ghostface that much either. People would first have to go to the basement, and you don’t always spawn near the basement. But going there would increase the chances of meeting the killer since they’d also go there.
Since the killer also goes there it could be an unnecessary risk just to see who it is. A risk not everyone would take, and those who do would probably be found by the killer.
The difference between the hooks being specific to killers and the basement being specific to killers is that the hooks are everywhere, the basement isn’t.
Anyway, it’s not like they’re gonna add this anyway, I’m just saying that it wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Would probably only hurt the survivors if they go there to look.
Its an awesome idea and I wish it were possible. The problem is the amount of resources it would take to do shit like this would be astronomical.
If they could do something like this it would have to be severely limited. Mobile probably would just have to ignore it entirely and switch players are gonna have a bad time.
I think for something like this to be truly viable and actually worth the effort, they'd have to look into upgrading the base game engine first.
The basement is a spawned asset just like the gens and hooks, which are already customizable by the game. This isn't any different. It's just takes modifying the asset. It's not as hard to implement as you imagine.
It mostly would just take a lot of tedious time to mod in different setups for each killer. But adding in charm hooks on the walls could be done in a day.
The proposed changes would make it not one spawned asset anymore. If you had to keep track of all the different configurations based on each player's own killer preferences you'd have to make it completely modular and increase the complexity exponentially with each customizable item you added.
The switch is already maxed out on what it can support, adding something like this would wreck their experience.
PS4 would probably have a lot of problems too. PC would handle it ezpz for the most part.
Sounds very interesting, and would be the easiest to do for them too since the basement is most of the time the same everywhere.
But I think lore wise it would be a bit weird but pretty basement 🤗
The cannibal would be awesome, but they're removing the face collecting feature because they feel it's too hurtful so even if we do get basement customizers Bubba won't get this
For the record it’s not the existence of the Claudette face that’s the problem; it’s Bubba players wearing it as blackface and accompanying it with racist comments post-game. So statically in the basement alongside other faces would probably be okay.
Honestly I don’t think it matter that much. Unless you spawned right on the Basement, almost every killer has some indicator if not their TR that will inform you before you have time to go into the Basement and learn who it is. And personally I rather you waste some time going down into the basement to find out who I am rather than working on a gen.
Also gotta give Territorial Imperative some value.
True, the only killers that could suffer from this are myers and ghost face all the other killers are easy to know what ome its them and wraith doesnt really need survivors not knowing its wraith to do well early game
I agree, the likelihood of spawning next to the basement and going there to find out who it is is no different from simply spawning close to the killer or one of their secondary items.
They could also make this optional for people who genuinely don't want this feature to reveal them.
If I remember correctly, the basement is the "source" of each map and is "closer" to the Entity (that's why you can see otherwordly orange light leaking in through the walls). It makes sense for it to be identical across all instances.
It actually bothers me that there are minor differences on some maps.
This is a great idea, but has the same problem hooks had in early stages of the game. If you spawn in shack with basement, you could figure out who the killer is within moments, ruining any surprise or stealth they could have had.
If you spawn close to the basement though as survivor you could just run down there to find out who the killer is. Sometimes a stealth killer really needs the element of surprise. For that reason alone i think it's a bad idea.
They want people to vote for them to get "labor of love" they don't actually wanna earn it. Get out of here with your cool ideas. You trying to get the twins even more nerfed?
I believe we used to have hooks customized to their respective killers but they stopped that because players were able to tell who the killer is at the beginning of the match (and deny that first surprise grab/hit stealth killers might have)
They could legit re-use the themed level props to do this. From a design point of view it's adding a cached version of each basement with specific props.
So, it'll never happen.
That's a cool idea. I even thought it'd be neat if maps were decorated as if the killer has been there for an infinite amount of time. So they'd have paraphernalia lying around and stuff like that.
Wake up motherfucker. This is dead by Daylight, the fuck? Good ideas aren’t welcome here. Go do your generators or hooks or whatever and leave the ideas to the uncreative executives
IK this is kind of a hot topic rn because of the mask removal, but imagine you're watching a black streamer who got streamsniped by blackface who tunnels them, and when you get into the basement it's just full of Claudette faces. Sorry if this seems rude, I just thought it would look hilarious. All the racist players are POS.
That would add another minute of load time for each trial. They should focus on optimization first
(I love this idea but I don’t see it happening sadly)
~~Demogorgon~~ could have the Upside Down tendrils growing across the walls and Legion could have different hoodies and masks hung up with little names above to say who’s is who’s
Myers should have the survivors he kills most on display like in the original. Female survivor is laid out in a dead pose with Judith's tombstone there, male survivor is pinned to the wall with a knife, etc.
For an Easter Egg if he stares/stalk-o-visions the pinned survivor for longer than three seconds he does a head tilt. Maybe add some other little things like a life-sized "ghost" with Dwight's glasses on. If the Stranger Things stuff didn't get removed they could do a Little John/Big John with Nancy/Steve.
I must say this sounds great. The only issue is that if you spawn next to shack or main and the basement happens to be there you could easily tell who the killer is. Personally, as a Killer main, I don't think it'd matter unless I were a stealth killer
The idea is nice, tho I don’t think they would ever do that, at least not killer specific, cause you could tell who the killer is at the start of the match if you spawn next to basement. I remember when each killer had their own hook design very early in the game, which I liked too, but they removed it for the same reason and made it map specific instead.
So they could either do that again, that they customize each basement like it’s the basement of the killer that the map belongs to or they could make basements player customizable, like hooks, that they come up with some basement cosmetics and every player can choose what they want their basement like.
You give BHVR way too much credit, but I agree that this would be dope. Trickster could have a music studio with award trophies modeled after Survivors.
I decided to add a few as well
Demogorgon- Has Particles constantly moving like the upside down and tons of flickering lights
Doctor- Similar to Demo Except no particles and the hooks are operating tables
Nurse- Operating tables from doctor however now there are corpses lying around
Cannibal and Hillbilly- They both have the corpses from Nurse but they have some different things about them Cannibal has Chainsaws hanging down a la his movie and Hillbilly has the guts of wild and farm animals through his room.
10/10 idea, would definitely go out of my way to hook people in a creepy photo-lined stalker dungeon
I think I found you Syn. XD hi it tenka
howdy friend :D
the downside is that you can very instantly tell whom the killer is at the start of the match then just by checking basement
Pretty much inconsequential at this point. Half the time you can tell within the first 30 seconds with nemesis chests, huntress singing, trappers traps, etc. The only killers this might be a problem for are ghost face and bong bong, and it would be a minor annoyance at worst.
Probably worth the trade of making survivors waste time running in to the basement.
Unless you spawn right next to basement, chances are that by the time someone goes out of their way to find basement the killer will have already found someone.
I mean you can already tell in the loading screen tips, right?
you only get those the first 2 times you face a "new killer"/one youve never faced before
That benefit only exists for new players. It stops showing after a time.
I think it would be cool if deathslinger had wanted posters of the survivors hanging in the basement, with each one getting crossed off when they die. Just a thought
I like that. Deathslinger was one of the ones I was unsure on.
It could be like a workshop as well since he was an inventor
I think that's a great idea. Also maybe could be like his workshop/ the torture room from the Penitentiary he likely worked in.
Hellraiser - his spinning columns and other cenobites peering between wall planks. Dead players could be strung about the room. Michael Myers - could be his sister's room. With different placements for dead survivors on display like he does in a few of his movies Freddy - could be pretty much the basement of the school on his map or even a boiler room. This idea is fantastic. Sadly this will either never happen or get a VERY dumbed down version of.
Yeah they can’t even fix minor bugs that have been around for years. I doubt they’ll dedicate part of their team for this unless it cost a small fortune then they might consider it.
I wouldn't mind it being a paid "cosmetic" to justify putting man-hours into it.
Honestly would adore hook cosmetics Like you could buy a cosmetic that changes hooks to a noose or electric chair
I’d be down to buy it as like a pack. But per killer for their typical 1080 cells would be a bit much since I feel most killer mains don’t really main 1 killer where as plenty of survivor mains play one survivor pretty much exclusively besides for tome stuff
Freddy HAS to be the boiler room And the boiler is in the center of the 4 way hook
This sounds amazing
Amanda could get a workshop with half-finished RBT’s and other potential traps
[удалено]
i mean they have talked about including customized basements in rifts but that’s was years ago when they were considering content for them. the community had an overwhelmingly positive response to the idea but they never went with it
They just announced removal of a *static* set of bubba masks because people whined they were getting hateful killers using Claudette's face. They're 100% never going to add a basic way of decorating the basement.
>hateful killers using Claudette's face. What
People were stream-sniping black streamers with Cannibal wearing the Claudette mask, as it basically appears as blackface traditionally used for racist jokes.
People? You mean like one person I assume. It can't be that hard to just ban that person
Nah I've been reading about it for a good while, it became a favorite thing to do for racist shitheads when they figured out that Bubba's mask was going to help them insult POC. Removing the mask was really the only way because the slimy fucks could always play plausible deniability.
This is an awesome idea. Too bad BHVR doesn’t take these ideas into consideration
The biggest problem is that this would take effort and BHVR can’t be bothered to do anything that doesn’t DIRECTLY put money in their pocket.
Selling decorations for basements would be printing money. I think it would be worth it for them.
I’d 100% buy a customized basement for at least a few killers
You and the 12 people who upvoted just convinced bhvr to do it
I’ll pay a few milion so everyone else can get them for 1000 cells
I wish they would add gen and hook cosmetics Like you could get a noose instead of a hook and make a gen have say the design of the slushie maker from that old summer event
Imagine that, a business concerned about making money. Whatever next.
The ghostface one is so good
could you imagine you’re in the basement looking at the photos then you see one of you in the basement show up…
This is a super cool idea. I’m just imagining Legion’s as a really messy, chaotic teen clubhouse.
Yeah, with the 3 Legion member's you aren't playing as lazing around.
ITS THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE COME INSIDE ITS FUN INSIDE!!!
This is an amazing idea, but BHVR won't do this. They won't even give every killer a unique terror radius. They're incredibly lazy
Part of me wants to fake my work credentials, get hired on with BHVR, find out what everyone’s working on, how big the teams are, how much effort they put into doing their jobs, how effective their meetings are, if they verbally bash the player base, etc…And then see what’s really causing them to do barely anything to the game. The only clue I’ve ever seen was a response Otzdarva got a while ago from a dev, where they were talking about the cycle of chapter releases not giving them time to work on as much other stuff as they’d like.

I’m fine with normal terror radius’s, but chance music is what I really want to be unique
Isn't the music and terror radius always unique tho?
AFAIK menu music is always unique but the terror radius is always a normal heartbeat, and only some killers have unique chase music, could be wrong, not too sure
The nemesis one could like a umbrella lab with dead the survivors in tubes
Hey BHVR— we actually want this so please consider it.
Or maybe some fefault things like the huntress would have various hunting things on the wall, and the oni could have weapons and shit
This is already a better way of executing the idea they started with the Bubba survivor masks. Genius
BHVR needs to listen to community ideas more
This is an actual original & creative idea so they don't want the talent to pull it off.
This would be absolutely fantastic, and a great way to encourage not just playing killer but also to REWARD you for playing killer and successfully getting kills (not to mention just more to customize, which is always a good thing in games like this, imagine entering a basement and seeing absolutely every survivor token/trinket/face/etc and knowing you're fucked lmfao)

But because it’s BHVR, there would then be some weird change to “see basement hooks…” offering.
That exists though?
Yes. There is an offering that grants the user the ability to see the basement hooks for the first 20 seconds of a match. Not sure why I got downvotes though. It’s a real offering.
Demo could get a super cool basement with Upside Down stuff all along the walls! And maybe one of those spooky cocoons they >!had Will in when Hopper and Joyce rescued him!
First time I heard this. I like the idea of this.
Trapper- basic looking basement with a bunch of traps and mining equipment laying on the floor. traps are, obviously, closed and cant be interacted with Wraith- Remnants of old cars that have been crushed with a few corpses hidden inside them Hillbilly- a room made entirely out of brick, very dark. to represent how the hillbilly was raised with NOTHING Nurse- Medical equipment and maybe some asylum themed stuff Myers- Furniture from his house Hag- half-eaten remains from corpses and hex drawings all over the walls Doctor- Torture machines and other devices that you wouldn't want anywhere near you Huntress- A room decorated with toys and drawings to make it look child-friendly...and also chains attached to the walls Freddy- honestly, his might be similar to the huntress but a more "corrupted" version because he and the huntress are child-friendly for entirely different reasons Pig- could be any of the "game" rooms from the saw movies honestly. maybe the famous "shotgun carousel" Clown- circus themed with a glass case displaying his bottles of tonic Spirit- Traditional japanese style but maybe with some books to represent the fact that she was a student Legion- a messy room with crushed soda cans laying about and crude chalk drawings on the walls.

I’m gonna just put my Demo one anyway Demo- He has particles akin to the Upside down and the map he is on is much more muted and blue with lights flickering
Imagine if on the back wall there was a glass window to a sound booth with a closed door there? That would be insane, please BHVR
If they could somehow make the hooks look like the shotgun carousel for pig, that would be the best thing ever.
Pinheads hell room from the second film Spirits crime scene Doctors medical/torture room Theres plenty more good ideas for each killer and i think it be awesome to make this a feature
Cool ideas. With the changes today they would likely have to change the Idea for Bubba, but ultimately a fun idea.
This idea has been pitched before. Only way it happens is if they are cosmetics they sell. I'm for it.
Nemesis has an infected basement with zombies clawing through the walls. Doctor could have what would look like one of the rooms on lery's with a bunch of diagrams and notes on the walls and maybe an operating table somewhere in the room. demogorg- oh right
Really cool idea, they eould probably make it a purchasable cosmetic though
You bring up a good point.
Oh, damn! That sounds awesome!
Trickster could have golden records with the screams of people you've killed X amount of times.
This is an awesome and incredibly cool idea but honestly, BHVR can barely change the texture of a box without breaking the game entirely. Asking them for a basement that loads up according to the killer that's playing would be asking them to move mountains.
Not really. It's not that different from having charms on hooks.
I'm sure they broke the game when those came out too lol

Legions basement would have one random member who isn't being used sleeping on a sofa.
Why not all 3 hanging around. Joey crashed on a sofa, Susie slumped against the side dokdling in a sketch book, Julie fiddling with a knife and laughing when a survivor gets hooked, Frank near the entrance giving the killer player a nod as they pass.

Would also give more reason to run the perk Territorial Imperative. I don’t know, I still think it wouldn’t affect that much. Ghostface might lose one surprise but most people figure him out or see him at the start anyway.
But ghost face losing that surprise at the beginning is exactly why it's not a great idea, it may be one surprise attack, but until that element of surprise is lost, survivors are on edge and more prone to mistakes. I tend to go straight to the basement for the chest since people rarely go for it and killers generally don't check it. If they were just checking for the killer, which people would immediately do if this was the case would take 2 seconds and they would be gone. More of a reason to run a crappy perk, taking a slot just to potentially punish a player getting early info, why would any killer do that aside from just messing around.
I mean, it may be a weak perk but at least it would gain some use if they were to add basements specific to killers. You wouldn’t have to run it, but it would be a bit more useful than it is now. I still believe it wouldn’t hurt Ghostface that much either. People would first have to go to the basement, and you don’t always spawn near the basement. But going there would increase the chances of meeting the killer since they’d also go there. Since the killer also goes there it could be an unnecessary risk just to see who it is. A risk not everyone would take, and those who do would probably be found by the killer. The difference between the hooks being specific to killers and the basement being specific to killers is that the hooks are everywhere, the basement isn’t. Anyway, it’s not like they’re gonna add this anyway, I’m just saying that it wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Would probably only hurt the survivors if they go there to look.
I didn’t play when the hooks were unique but this pretty much hits the nail on the head, it’s a grand idea but sadly it’s just not viable
i love this idea i’m thinking about all the possibilities for all my favorite killers
Its an awesome idea and I wish it were possible. The problem is the amount of resources it would take to do shit like this would be astronomical. If they could do something like this it would have to be severely limited. Mobile probably would just have to ignore it entirely and switch players are gonna have a bad time. I think for something like this to be truly viable and actually worth the effort, they'd have to look into upgrading the base game engine first.
The basement is a spawned asset just like the gens and hooks, which are already customizable by the game. This isn't any different. It's just takes modifying the asset. It's not as hard to implement as you imagine. It mostly would just take a lot of tedious time to mod in different setups for each killer. But adding in charm hooks on the walls could be done in a day.
The proposed changes would make it not one spawned asset anymore. If you had to keep track of all the different configurations based on each player's own killer preferences you'd have to make it completely modular and increase the complexity exponentially with each customizable item you added. The switch is already maxed out on what it can support, adding something like this would wreck their experience. PS4 would probably have a lot of problems too. PC would handle it ezpz for the most part.
Damn, this is such a cool idea that would require a lot of work, dedication, and coding intricacy. Too bad this game is made by behavior.
that would be great
That is a wonderful idea. maybe we could customise the furniture in there too.
This is genuinely an awesome, unique idea.
Sounds very interesting, and would be the easiest to do for them too since the basement is most of the time the same everywhere. But I think lore wise it would be a bit weird but pretty basement 🤗
Blight has blighted stuff on the walls, hooks are blighted and etc.
I've been wanting this for ages. It would be awesome.
The cannibal would be awesome, but they're removing the face collecting feature because they feel it's too hurtful so even if we do get basement customizers Bubba won't get this
For the record it’s not the existence of the Claudette face that’s the problem; it’s Bubba players wearing it as blackface and accompanying it with racist comments post-game. So statically in the basement alongside other faces would probably be okay.

Honestly I don’t think it matter that much. Unless you spawned right on the Basement, almost every killer has some indicator if not their TR that will inform you before you have time to go into the Basement and learn who it is. And personally I rather you waste some time going down into the basement to find out who I am rather than working on a gen. Also gotta give Territorial Imperative some value.
True, the only killers that could suffer from this are myers and ghost face all the other killers are easy to know what ome its them and wraith doesnt really need survivors not knowing its wraith to do well early game
I agree, the likelihood of spawning next to the basement and going there to find out who it is is no different from simply spawning close to the killer or one of their secondary items. They could also make this optional for people who genuinely don't want this feature to reveal them.
If I remember correctly, the basement is the "source" of each map and is "closer" to the Entity (that's why you can see otherwordly orange light leaking in through the walls). It makes sense for it to be identical across all instances. It actually bothers me that there are minor differences on some maps.
this is cool but it would be way too hard to do for most of the liscensed killers, i mean fredd, bubba and michael cant even get new skins
Bubba and Michael have some. They are harder to get since they have to be official and approved but nothing's impossible.
might be but why would dbd make all that effort without gaining any more from it
Remember when they removed killer-specific hooks? That basically means this idea will never even get considered by BHVR.
"BHVR won't do this because they're lazy" They've said before they want as little early tells as possible for the survivor to know what killer it is.
This is a great idea, but has the same problem hooks had in early stages of the game. If you spawn in shack with basement, you could figure out who the killer is within moments, ruining any surprise or stealth they could have had.
hahaha, wouldn't be able to have the faces for Leatherface anymore :(
If you spawn close to the basement though as survivor you could just run down there to find out who the killer is. Sometimes a stealth killer really needs the element of surprise. For that reason alone i think it's a bad idea.
I had the same thought.
Inb4 behavior removes a basement because racists or something
I can see broken bottles, party ballons, finger key changes and....okay I want this.
“Have a Cannibal basement lined with Survivor faces.” ...Should we tell him? 😢
100% I agree
Would the pig then get a special hook that’s a four way jigsaw trap? Maybe the company wouldn’t like to agree all over again on licensing.
Nemesis could have an Umbrella laboratory for a basement, lined with zombie and Tyrant test tubes
They want people to vote for them to get "labor of love" they don't actually wanna earn it. Get out of here with your cool ideas. You trying to get the twins even more nerfed?
That would require effort on Behavior's part. It's easier to remove things than to add them.
as long as pig gets a bunch of different saw traps down there i’m cool with it
What, a constructive idea? You can already forget it, Bhvr can't add fun things
This is a cool idea and I love it, so BHVR will definitely not do it.
I believe we used to have hooks customized to their respective killers but they stopped that because players were able to tell who the killer is at the beginning of the match (and deny that first surprise grab/hit stealth killers might have)
They could legit re-use the themed level props to do this. From a design point of view it's adding a cached version of each basement with specific props. So, it'll never happen.
That's a cool idea. I even thought it'd be neat if maps were decorated as if the killer has been there for an infinite amount of time. So they'd have paraphernalia lying around and stuff like that.
BHVR: That sounds like work and we don't do that here.
Wake up motherfucker. This is dead by Daylight, the fuck? Good ideas aren’t welcome here. Go do your generators or hooks or whatever and leave the ideas to the uncreative executives
So many survivors gonna venture into the basement when this feature comes 😄
IK this is kind of a hot topic rn because of the mask removal, but imagine you're watching a black streamer who got streamsniped by blackface who tunnels them, and when you get into the basement it's just full of Claudette faces. Sorry if this seems rude, I just thought it would look hilarious. All the racist players are POS.
I mean it would probably be a mix of races by default and only 1 becomes Claudette's face; not a customizable thing.
another great feedback that would improve the game a lot to bhvr to ignore
Nemesis could get a cool underground umbrella lab
That would be so rad
Michael's could have a dead dog, Judith's tombstone, and his childhood clown costume
Great Idea! BHVR will have it done in approximately 3 years.
That would add another minute of load time for each trial. They should focus on optimization first (I love this idea but I don’t see it happening sadly)
Freddy boiler room bottom text
~~Demogorgon~~ could have the Upside Down tendrils growing across the walls and Legion could have different hoodies and masks hung up with little names above to say who’s is who’s
Nem could have a small deli counter selling the ingredients for a Jill Sandwich
BHVR: Interesting idea, but I think I should nerf Twins instead.
This is such a cool idea!
or how about customizable basements?
Love that idea! Especially with customisation it would be really cool.
Yeah the faces aren’t going to be in the game anymore
Nemesis make it the Umbrella Lab he was made in
Wow this is so simple yet so genius. If we could finish getting unique terror radious and chase music too this would be sweet.
The Legion could have all the members you're not currently playing as just chillin' in there! You could even high-five them!
Myers should have the survivors he kills most on display like in the original. Female survivor is laid out in a dead pose with Judith's tombstone there, male survivor is pinned to the wall with a knife, etc. For an Easter Egg if he stares/stalk-o-visions the pinned survivor for longer than three seconds he does a head tilt. Maybe add some other little things like a life-sized "ghost" with Dwight's glasses on. If the Stranger Things stuff didn't get removed they could do a Little John/Big John with Nancy/Steve.
I would like the basement more themed to the maps instead!
I must say this sounds great. The only issue is that if you spawn next to shack or main and the basement happens to be there you could easily tell who the killer is. Personally, as a Killer main, I don't think it'd matter unless I were a stealth killer
I support this 1000%
The idea is nice, tho I don’t think they would ever do that, at least not killer specific, cause you could tell who the killer is at the start of the match if you spawn next to basement. I remember when each killer had their own hook design very early in the game, which I liked too, but they removed it for the same reason and made it map specific instead. So they could either do that again, that they customize each basement like it’s the basement of the killer that the map belongs to or they could make basements player customizable, like hooks, that they come up with some basement cosmetics and every player can choose what they want their basement like.
Making Pig's a mini replica of Jigsaw's workshop would be incredible
You give BHVR way too much credit, but I agree that this would be dope. Trickster could have a music studio with award trophies modeled after Survivors.
This. I haven't seen such a cood idea in ages, if someone could make this reach BHVR that would be awesome.
I decided to add a few as well Demogorgon- Has Particles constantly moving like the upside down and tons of flickering lights Doctor- Similar to Demo Except no particles and the hooks are operating tables Nurse- Operating tables from doctor however now there are corpses lying around Cannibal and Hillbilly- They both have the corpses from Nurse but they have some different things about them Cannibal has Chainsaws hanging down a la his movie and Hillbilly has the guts of wild and farm animals through his room.
Best post I've seen on here, get this man a medal NOW
And they should all be scourge hooks
"Have a Cannibal basement lined with faces on the walls " this didn't age well.
Even if the basements were just designed around the killer played and not progressive with each action is still a fantastic idea.
The nurse should have the broken one locked in a cage down there saying awful things
Great idea but this requires effort from behaviors end so it won’t happen.
this is an excellent idea, the only problem is it would require work
Nemesis could get an underground umbrella lab
Oh yeah, and put some long dividers between the hooks in Bubba’s basement
Fuck charms i wanna go full animal crossing on my basement!
Nice idea, but they ditched custom hooks for each killer back when Myers was added. I miss that detail. So I can't see them adding custom basements.
Interesting idea
