Hey, this is an archive version of the official DBD forum that is set to go dark after the end of October 2026, since it was confirmed that they are not planning to make it view only, but it will be taken offline, I've created this mirror in case someone wants to go back and view something. This isn't it's final state, the data will be updated until the end of October. After the forum is fully do0 comments 0 views last activity

You've seen the news, our patch of fog disperses next month, marking the end of our little subcommunity. I've spent a bit too much time here, waiting for responses, typing out replies, or just reading what you all had to say. Now that it's ending, I honestly feel a little untethered, like a small part of my life was rubbed off a chalk board, but life goes on and on and on, doesn't it?

I know a lot will of already been said, discussed, shared etc throughout the forums, even myself has said a few things, but just to get some things off my mind and chest. Having not too long ago watched Paulie as well and his thoughts about the forum……. To some, this is just a forum, to others it is not, we each get something from here, other wise we wouldn't keep coming back and those who deci2 comments 49 views last activity

For players who mainly use controller, which of these two do you think is easier to get more value from long-term? The Oni Very strong mobility and snowball potential, but his power seems to depend a lot on precise steering/flicks during Demon Dash and fast camera corrections. The Dark Lord More flexible kit with Hellfire, Wolf Pounce, and Bat mobility, but Hellfire needs accurate line-up5 comments 49 views last activity

I know others have mentioned this before. Since the forums are shutting down. I feel that the forums should be archived for people who want to learn how the Dead By Daylight really works. While also remembering those who passed away. And I also feel that erasing those tributes and game information would be devastating to our community.2 comments 48 views last activity

Back in June 2023, the Twisted Masquerade event introduced us with a bunch on new mechanics. Such as the fragile pallet. With the introduction of Rick Grimes gave us the perk Apocalyptic Ingenuity. Which implemented the fragile pallet as a base feature. Along with the June 2023 came another cool survivor mechanic, the vault blocker. I just think it would be cool if a survivor perk co5 comments 39 views last activity

When a survivor uses a fog vial outside of chase I just want to reach through the screen and slap them. It's a giant "HERE I AM" flag.26 comments 329 views last activity

The title states it if you want to join send a request. You can do discussions on Steam groups like in the forums so at least that way you can still experience the same format. Thought to create one of these as same happened in another forum that closed down so at least you can stay in contact with the Steam users and have conversations of the game there. Here is a link to it. ht11 comments 226 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! For the very last time here on the Forums, I hope this discussion finds you doing well. By know I'm sure you are that the DBD Forums' days are numbered. It will remain until this year's Halloween, then it will be shut down, as per the recent announcement. And well… it would be an understatement to say that these are terrible news.

I have returned to the Dead by Daylight Forums after hearing the most recent news of it getting deleted forever. (By @PaulieEsther ) I joined these forums in September of 2018. Literally 8 Years ago. I have had many debates with other users. Heated or not. I have seen many bans before the alleged obsessive ban waves ridiculing these very forums. I've seen the downfall and the rise of the Gam2 comments 123 views last activity

About time to say goodbye to the forums. So I figured I'd make some posts I was putting off for the future. This is one. When I think of Ghostface, it's like this. His mark is simultaneously strong, and ridiculously weak. It's enough that once you feel stalked enough you have to respect it, and it will pop at any moment if ur not careful. But unless he's right on your back you're probably safe.1 comments 36 views last activity

Mine would have to be Dracula. Its kind of a big deal to be able to play as Dracula from Castlevania as he is only playing in 1 game out of over 25 ( not counting lords of shadow as thats an entirely different reboot Dracula) They also added the voice actor of Alucard from Hellsing, and his best version True form from circle of the moon, complete with one of the most brutal mori's in the game.

With the announcement of the closure of the forums, I'm wondering what will happen to all the posts here? Old stats articles, legacy tributes to valued members who died of cancer, etc... In my opinion this is part of our history. Will this all be cast to the wind, or is there a plan to archive everything here and just leave it all as read only?30 comments 637 views last activity

What do you guys think? I have been winning pretty much every game and playing survivor is just rought right now in 2vs8. Killers just seem to roll over not even needing really to guard gens. This wasn't case in iterations before which seemed lean more survivor sided. Just starting to feel too easy on killer. I have won even matches where one of us AFK for couple minutes or with bots.

Hello everybody, As you’re all aware, we are currently in our 10th year of operating Dead by Daylight as a live game. While the dev team is looking at numerous ways to update, improve, and modernize the game to carry us through the next 10 years, we are doing this on the community side of things as well.

Hey, all. It's been a minute since I've been on these forums. Just got back on today and saw the post about it closing. Don't really know what to say about that. Anyway, for years I've been unofficially petitioning BHVR to get an official The Mummy (1999) chapter. And now that Brendan Fraser is officially doing another The Mummy installment (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22408968/?_ssoLoop=1), it18 comments 123 views last activity

So like, ever since the judgement came out, we gonna end up getting a backrooms killer using the exile ability that just sends us to the backrooms? Because I know that they love to reuse powers and that legit makes the most logical sence. Or maybe there's some generates that are in the backrooms that we and or the killer have to enter in to go do them? Like going in springtraps doors but BOT0 comments 14 views last activity

BHVR can you guy's do something with the new MMR system it's not working… I get good/sweaty players one game then the next game… I get people with level one perks and are brand new to the game…. This is so unfair for new players to be placed with a Killer with 9 P100s and over 10+k hours…….1 comments 60 views last activity

So why do I have to deal with a killer that's seeing my aura at all times, can attack from anywhere on the map, has been buffed to make aiming even easier and on top of that, denies the use of a lot of perks cause of his non hook power???

On the anniversary stream the graphical rework was revealed partially, and you guys promised a livestream dedicated to it at the end of summer, and now we are at the end of september, is there a reason why that stream hasnt happened yet and do you have an estimate to when thats gonna happen?0 comments 38 views last activity

Listen up, community, and hopefully, someone at BHVR is actually reading this. I’m NyxVaultX , and I’m writing this because let’s be totally real for a second: most of us have a massive love or hate relationship with this game. In fact, let’s lean closer to hate right now.

Upvote this post to tell BHVR directly that the community does NOT want to lose these incredible discussion forums, for the following reasons: 1. A lack of equivalent platforms offering the same services or level of usage There simply isn't another platform that provides the same combination of accessibility, organization, community activity, and long-form discussion that these forums curre8 comments 403 views last activity

Ever since I've started playing Dead by Daylight, i have the really bad habit of taking the game so seriously and taking everything that happens in a match to heart if i ever go against toxic survivors or toxic killers and i just blindly assume that everyone that plays this game is toxic or has beef against me if i have one negative experience against another player if they are tunneling me or te26 comments 385 views last activity

If the maps were really all maps have the same chances, you would get about c.a 14x per map (some maps more, some less). most maps which has only 1-2 maps have the same amount as ikonic maps (Farm, MacMillan, AutoHaven maps) bc its 5x, but not all maps like Fallen Refuge as example 1 offering but way less chances to come then indoor maps, why RPD is so high its just 2 in 1 (they make it like RPD0 comments 44 views last activity

A couple days ago I tried playing 2v8 and my game crashed literally three times by some game issue. Every single time I got a ban and I sent a report, until I got fed up with the matter. Now I logged back after more than two days and I got a ban BEFORE even attempting to play a first match??? What the actuall hell is up with the game? Does anyone have this issue atm? What´s going on?

I've been playing the game a long time now but I've always been more of a survivor main. When I do play killer I tend to use ones that are relatively simple to control but every now and again I'll try and improve on a killer I don't use (mostly for trophy hunting) yet no matter what I find it so hard to blink to where I want to as the Nurse.

I want to give the community a thread to express why they have stopped playing or why they plan to stop playing - from both killer and survivor mains. Personally, when 2v8 ends, it is very unlikely I will boot up again until the next 2v8. While 2 killers 1 survivor is not fun, the mode IMO is still more enjoyable than 1v4. I am scared to see what these 57 perks they are changing will be and w108 comments 2,556 views last activity

Just moved into a new country, went from 40 ping to 80 ping and i noticed a huge difference playing as survivor. I wasn’t aware of the problem but just went down a huge rabbit hole and i am pretty convinced the game needs a fix. Killers with 100+ ping destroy lobbies and survivors with 60+ take questionable hits. Has BHVR ever addressed the ping issues?1 comments 32 views last activity

I’m thinking about learning The Dark Lord on controller and wanted to hear from people who have actually played him a lot this way. I know he is a strong Killer overall, but I’m more interested in how well his full kit translates to controller at a high level. My main questions are: How comfortable is Hellfire once you build muscle memory? How difficult is Wolf Pounce, especially the second43 comments 337 views last activity

I recently had an idea, an idea of what if a killer's whole gimmick is injury. Therefore, i came up with the following idea: a killer named "The Mutilator", it would work like this: Traditional survivor health is now changed. Players now can break bones, be left bleeding, and maybe even concussions. The mutilators power? Traps… well, kinda. The idea is trap types, such as a bone trap, would work2 comments 23 views last activity

@CountOfTheFog Our dear Count, friend and community chief for all things updates, was recently in a serious accident. When I was able to briefly speak with him, he was in a lot of pain and facing surgery. He was also really upset about not being able to attend the event in Canada today.

Sorry this took so long folks! I wanted to do slides for every killer to make sure all your comments went to use and had a purpose, but it ended up being a much bigger undertaking than I thought and it was difficult to motivate myself to get it done. But I've finished the last of the work the last couple of days, just as BHVR announced the end of the forums LOL. For those of you who simply want11 comments 262 views last activity

Sorry for ranting so much but I played my first match this morning as Ghostface two people died, and they were just t-bagging at the gates and wasting my time refusing to get out. Second match I play my main ghoul and it was a swf that was running gen rush builds on all four and got three out and they wasted my time at the gates. Make so killers can abandon when all gens are popped. Again not5 comments 144 views last activity

When this forum shuts down next month will you be over there or on Twitter or elsewhere interacting with the community?
