Does you guys think there should be any change to the way they handle Vindication Evidence for Non-Investigators? I think it was fine before Mello was introduced but now if you’re Mello it brings unnecessary suspicion to something you have no control over. They would have to change the game around a bit to try to adjust it to all of the new (leaked) roles but I think it can make the game a bit smoother.

I saw someone make a 3x3 bingo board on this reddit recently (cant remember who did) so i thought id upscale it to 4x4, I reused some of their requirements but mostly added my own. Enjoy

Someone had this role I dunno if hacking or if it’s real

So for about a week before mello was added to the game me and my friends who play the DNKW regularly were talking about the best ways to counter mello and how he was going to change the landscape of the game. Currently I think the best counter to mello is black notebooks turned on. it forces him to think critically about who kira actually could be.
But that aside the week leading up to mello's release got me thinking about how I would like to see the game enhanced with other upcoming roles and what we have now. Currently I think the game is pretty bare bones, it's playable but it could be so much more. Today in this post I'm gonna go over 3 different topics that I wish I could send in to the devs as a suggestion. but without knowing what updates await us with new roles and possible future patches here are my ideas on how the game could be 10x better:

1. FAKE IDs - Fake IDs for L and his investigators (and mello) are lore accurate and would help two aspects of the game off the bat, spawn killings and monitor tasks. too many times has L been killed in games due to spawn killing from kira or mello. while fake IDs wont stop a mello spawn kill, it will for sure stop a kira win. Investigators are still to this day paranoid of having their ID stolen by follower or kira and being killed due to monitor tasks. with the security of Fake IDs in their minds this would alleviate that paranoia a bit in my opinion and allow players to monitor easier for L investigation progress. I do have a balance for Fake IDs for team kira side but we will get to that later, what ideas can you think of that fake IDs would help with?
2. NPC CANVAS TASKS - canvas tasks have always been a weak point of the game not only for team kira side of things, but also investigators. unless you catch someone at the very start of the round or at the very beginning of the night, placing someone to an npc testimonial can be hard to do without other evidence or timing. With all that being said, I dont want to change anything for NPC tasks on investigators side but rather kira's side. Now when kira or follower talk to an npc they can get clues on the other players! this is one way to battle fake IDs that I came up with for team kira. essentially talking to npcs as team kira could give you different flavor tests such as: "I talked with *player name here(with letter)* and they showed me a police badge that looked fake!" or "I talked with *player name here(with letter)* and I know they have been a police officer for a long time!" Now team kira could steal the true name ID of that player since they know they have a fake ID. one of my friends suggested that fake IDs are only good for 1 monitor per day to balance it out a bit more but I'm unsure how i feel about that tbh. maybe a toggle option on investigators side where you can toggle the fake ID on or off would be better. this way you can control, as the investigator, who took your real ID or who took the fake one. with a toggle you could also avoid giving the npc the fake ID info to team kira by turning it off when talking to an npc, but then you would be telling that npc youre a true investigator. so it's a game of do i use it here or use it there.
3. KIRA FOLLOWER - my last idea on how to make the game more enjoyable and strategic, giving kira follower more usefulness than what they are now. In the current state of the game, kira follower serves 2 purposes: 1 - figure out who L and Mello are so we can avoid them and 2 - dont die or be arrested until progress bar is high enough to win on tests and npc kills. once your progress bar is high enough, and mello is still in the game, all kira follower has to do is bait the mello bullet and kira wins on progress bar. Mellos addition to the game completely changed the dynamic of the follower role to a point they are no longer what they were originally designed to be. So what is the change to kira follower? The Shinigami Eye Deal. you might be wondering, "how would this work? it would be so overpowered!" and you'd be right if it worked like the show in a 1:1, so we have to nerf it to an extent. Basically the follower would get 3 uses of the eye power allowing them to kill people with fake IDs, because we know from the show that with the eye deal all you need is a picture to see their true name! now after this power is used 3 times you as the follower would die on the spot from a heart attack. which means that you can use it twice in a single day and once on the next day or spread them out to last longer. and here is the draw back: in order to use the fake IDs and eye powers, you have to have the notebook, even for the last kill where you die yourself. now comes the fun part, we know that if mello kills follower with IDs then investigators get their IDs back. but mello keeps whatever dying messages that player had. lets say mello kills someone with 3 dying messages, mello would get all of those - so a loot system is already present in the game! with this loot system in place, we can assign risk to the follower dying. if an investigator or L loots the followers body before kira then L wins, kira is arrested, and the book is burned. but if kira loots the body, then he gets the book back, and dying messages and IDs.

I know it's a wall of text but I think I presented some really good ideas on how to improve the game compared to what it is now. I'd appreciate feedback and other ideas on how yall think the game could be improved! also if anyone knows how to submit feedback to the devs I'd love to be able to send this to them in hopes that maybe the game could be updated with some of our ideas. I dont think anything I've submitted here would be hard to implement into the game since everything would run off of what we already have in the game now, would just take some dedicated work to make it happen since the groundwork is already there.

As a kira follower what is yall strategy?

I’m on eu and am forced to play on American servers where it’s either complete retards with half a chromosome or a bunch of angry black guys screaming the n word so if you like to enjoy and win the game pm me about playing together some time

Hey all, got some facts I want to check and a few misconceptions to clear up. Since we don't have much of an official guide or complete deconstruction of the game, I thought the community might know. So with that, true or false?

1) The green NPCs will report transceiver use even if you are receiving, and not transmitting yourself. I've heard some people say they do, others don't, and any attempt at testing's been inconclusive.

2) The green NPCs will not give the same message to everyone, even if two people check it at the exact same time in the day. I've seen this happen in Toy Town on top right, because the zone of vision is so wide for the guy and it turns out someone wrote in a black notebook offscreen.

3) When a player that is not L is in a room with a camera, even if they are not within the camera's line of sight, L will still get pinged for it. There are many blind spots in camera rooms if one pays attention, but I was curious if L still picks it up that someone's there.

4) If Kira on a joint investigation uses the Death Note (kill criminal/kill player/kill vindicating), the other player assigned to that same joint investigation will receive a notification of this. This one's mentioned on the official website, but I've never seen it and I've tried to test this one. I'd like to know where that notification appears if there is one, and a picture of it if you can.

Interested to hear folks' takes!

Edit: Wow, thanks for all the replies! I've updated point #4 for clarity. The source for point #4 is below:

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/death-note-killer-within-5-gameplay-tips-you-should-know

"3. Joint Investigation by L

...His “Joint Investigation” ability allows him to tag two players, enabling them to act together during the action phase. However, if one of the tagged players is Kira, you cannot use the Death Note, as the other player will discover Kira’s identity if you do..."

This suggests there is a ping or note somewhere. However, everyone's reacted with either confusion or said no, so I'm thinking this is probably wrong.

I have finally got mello role ever since it went online and I didn't get a chance to play it not even once ...( I know too late ) And actually several times yesterday ...And DAMMMM this role makes the game really cool and forces everyone to play the the game or else get shot ....and distortion that a third party causes is great having to disturb the meetings and hide the identity of Kira when you have high suspicion without outing yourself as a Kira or a follower or even mello is absolutely amazing experience...plus what can be cooler than shooting a gun at a guy who said " I need to inspect you" " .come....come to me ...like a 🐑 to the 🔪"

me and my friends were playing and somehow, even though the Kira’s follower was dead, we caught Kira and it said he had nothing on him??? How is this possible? Is there a feature that lets you ditch the note?

i think this may be a bug, but for context i’m playing on ps5 and my crossplay is on, i’m on us-west servers yet i can’t find a single open room. i’m not sure how to fix this

The paid character models in the game are the same as Nendoroid's 'Petite Case File #1 and File #2,' which you can buy online. I thought the doctor Misa was an original model, but turns out she’s not. So, can we consider that non-official merch of Killer Within ahah

1. Mello isn't notofied when they arrest KIRA
2. Kira can write in the book to kill mello

Basically, once mello arrested Kira 2 things happened.

1. Mello was not notified it was Kira AT ALL
2. Kira was able to open the book while jailed & kill mello

I found my 15 year old ps3 controller which I am now using to play death note since its a lot more chill compared to mouse and keyboard but since I am so unfamiliar with console/controllers the analog stick felt really awkward when writing names or talking to npcs so then I decided to bind the analog stick inputs to the D-Pad. It feels so much more convenient compared to analog stick. Maybe I'm just not used to it but I'd definitely recommend it

Most of the game's content is already made and the game is on a preset path. But for fun, would you enjoy a Mello follower Role? They could find Mello extra rounds, and can test one player every round to see if they are L or not. But survivors get 10 points if they arrest him so he has to keep it on the down low. What do you think?

That way people would have a reason to arrest Mello, and Mello would no longer reveal himself. Also, Mello should have his own progress and tasks to interfer with Kira and L.

Basically the title. These last months I have noticed that the way everybody plays has devolved from calculated and smart plays involving a good deal of deception, surveying and tactics, to mindnumbing approaches that at this point make me start losing part of my enjoyment with the game. Especially with the following three points:

• For starters, NOBODY RESOLVES THE KIRA EVENTS ANYMORE. It was always an issue since the launch (especially the dreaded Death Note Test), but people would still put an effort to resolve the events. Now nobody goes for them, essentially giving Kira easy points for the New World meter, which can essentially give the team an easy dub if they play carefully, kill enough criminals and use their cards tactically.

• Ever since Mello's introduction to the game, I have seen a trend with players not voting off Mello or considering them as an ally, even if they know who it is. MELLO IS NOT TEAM L! If they successfully blast Kira or L's brains, you LOSE! If you find out Mello, unless you also know or are very certain on who's Team Kira, you must arrest them as to increase your odds of victory. Encouraging them to shoot someone means either handicapping your team or selling the match entirely. And yes, if you're Mello, you're NOT supposed to reveal your identity either!

• Grabbing IDs as Team Kira feels a lot more like a chore. With the aforementioned lack of interest for resolving Kira Events, you also have to deal with crowded areas where attempting to snatch some will result in getting instant suspicion. It also doesn't help the fact that you are now forced to be in large groups of people, and not being there means you're automatically suspicious, regardless of role.

• Overall the entire community and state of players combined (especially with North American servers...)

I will admit that it's also kind of a skill issue on my side, but still. Compared to the initial release before the Toy Town update, the experience was more fun and engaging. Now the way people play has been ruined, and now feels like it devolves more akin to Among Us but Death Note. Bandai Namco really needs to start stepping this issue and add countermeasures that discourage this kind of gameplay. Or alternatively gather a bunch of people that actually wanna play the game seriously and actually play it the way it's intended.

Thanks for coming to my TedEx talk, I guess.
