Yesterday, a big DBD youtuber named "Dowsey", released a video where he attempted to get 1 million bp only using survivor, and finished it around 5h 22m 04s. Personally, I believe I can beat that easily. Granted, he counted loading time and didn't do it according to standard dbd speedrun rules, but I think he sparked an interest with me and possibly a bunch of other players to want to do this. maybe rules for survivor would be no items or offerings and with killer no offerings, but I think it would be quite entertaining to see a longer format to a dbd run than the typical 1 round runs we see now.
As a DbD Player speaking, Yes. Its sounds great. I enjoy the idea of the challenge, and have done this before numerous times. I was also watching it yesterday when he did it on Twitch. He doesnt show the bit where the servers crash around 30 minutes in :p
Moderator wise there are numeorous issues.
-
We are running out of space for new categories (Its why Mobile Speedruns were removed and with new killer coming out today its getting even tighter). Having a Solo Run, SWF Run Killer run etc would mean no more room for new Killer categories.
-
All the best runs will be during BP events, or Festivals which makes WR runs potentially unbeatable a majority of the year. (Yesterday was the last day of 1.5x BP bloodhunt)
-
As mentioned above, it would take a LONG time to verify.
-
Save editing is a thing.
-
I potentially would not be able to verify runs on stream due to copyright issues. If im watching someones videos for 3-4 hours then said streamer could report me to Twitch for breech of T&Cs (I could do it offstream, but you get the point). A 5-10 minute video is generally fine to get away with, but not if its 3-4 hours.
Long Story short, great idea on paper, but practically impossible.
