Fragrant tuft of hair is one of those add-ons that just gives the killer their old power back… kinda? I say kinda because with a good example being Freddy‘s blue dress, which I will get to one day it only allows you to place one dream snare instead of five and for Micheal it’s the same case. And for those who don’t know pretty much this used to be an add-on that made tier 3 last indefinitely, bu2 comments 381 views last activity

Something that I just about never ever EVER see discussed online is the prevailing issue of players (and seemingly the game) undervaluing hook counts. It isn't uncommon for players to be seen upset they "lost" the match because they failed to killer any survivors or perhaps only killed one after having achieved around seven to nine hooks. At least to me is feels like a serious detriment to bot28 comments 642 views last activity

Vee is becoming one my favourite survivors and I really want to buy a FNAF shirt for her. Since she is an original survivor do you think it will ever happen?3 comments 171 views last activity

I stopped playing a lot but today I have had three Myers’ with absolutely no terror radius and silent until after they hit you. None went into third stage. So three games all completely silent and you can barely see them with the fog. then I played a few others same thing, different killers and it is almost as if they staked a no terror radius build and the hound master is just incredibly br2 comments 171 views last activity

The Ghoul is still the lowest skill floor most reward killer and has been for an unacceptable long time for a live game that still gets updated so frequently. A killer with that much mobility and control should not have a free hit or such a fast pallet vault or give you 50% hindered while he vaults a pallet. There is no counterplay to first hit and it feels soooo frustrating, just like when he va1 comments 131 views last activity

I mean I'm sorry but fog crystals are so much better designed when compared to fog vials. They aren't map dependant. Because instead of working with opacity they just make you not see (crazy idea that the item that is supposed to make it harder to see does that I know) you actually can rely on them. They aren't as big. This makes it so finding the survivor /evading the killer is more of a 50/7 comments 191 views last activity

With all the talk of slugging, since they introduced the killer being able to mori the last person on the ground after the the third survivor is on the hook, that s were i see it the most. Ill be on the ground, killer goes searching for the last survivor, and i lay there until i bleed out or the survivor is found. Get rid of this and you lose the incentive to leave someone on the ground. Ive been45 comments 632 views last activity

Hey Behaviour Team, I’ve been playing Dead by Daylight for a while, (7 years killer & survivor ) to be exact and I’m seriously frustrated with how unbalanced the game has become for survivors. We barely have anything that genuinely helps us just a flashlight, medkit, or map and even those barely function. The flashlight? It’s pointless unless you use it at a perfect frame o11 comments 293 views last activity

So Legion have been removed from November's 2V8 and as they're my main, of course I'm a little sad about it. So I'll be playing whatever number of Survivor/Billy trials I need to to unlock the collectables before taking a short DBD break (since match-making goes to hell in 1V4 whenever 2V8 is live). tl;dr version: What do you think Legion will be like when they return?

My wife went onto dbd last week for the haunted event and notices she was missing survivors and killers. Me and her have played DBD for almost 8 to 9 years now . She's bought cosmetics for these characters and now its saying she has never purchased them even though she has skins for them as well as add ons , offerings and even legendary skins .

In the recent livestream BHVR said they have 3 definitions of tunneling. Only going for one Survivor. 2. Hooking the same Survivor twice in a row. ????? (They blanked out in it.) This has lead me to have a series of questions and concerns regarding the term. What is the third definition? Some people told me 1 kill before 6 hooks, but it's not official and if that was the case I'd have don10 comments 291 views last activity

I'm wondering if Albert Wesker's son could ever make it into the game as a survivor. His relationship with Sherry Birkin could make for a really interesting duo, maybe as a two survivor chapter or even a skin collection. Do you think Behaviour would ever prioritize them, or would they focus on more popular characters like Ashley Graham?16 comments 211 views last activity

this is the survey that you get after uninstalling DBD and also where the devs got the information about slugging being the main reason for people uninstalling. The problem here is that the only role specific options here are against Killers only. So no wonder they never mentioned why Killers uninstall because it apparently isn’t even a priority for them41 comments 1,031 views last activity

Houndmaster is a PRIME example of WHAT NOT TO DO in making a new killer, and updating them. The state they are in make me actively and violently angry. Not just because of how buggy they are, but how PREVALENT AND COMMON these bugs seem to be. Kaneki's overpowered state came from the PTB being so buggy you couldn't use his power at all- meaning you got NO meaningful feedback until we actually0 comments 61 views last activity

I decided to run a test to verify whether abandons actually affect escape rates and yes, they do. Matches where you abandon or disconnect are excluded from your stats. Since my last session, I've played a total of 27 matches with one survivor, but only 19 were counted. Why? Because 7 were abandons and 1 was a disconnect, which aligns with the missing 8 m36 comments 1,372 views last activity

Don't know if this was already discussed before, but BHVR could balance killers a little bit by increasing or decreasing the number of pallets depending of the killer's tier. Let's say that X map comes with 10 pallets by default and then if the killer is Trapper or Ghostface the game adds 3 or 5 more pallets, but if it's Blight or another high tier killer 10 or 12 extra pallets it is.

One of the worst events that we had. The only incentive to play was the rift rewards (if you care about them), but other than that, it's just been awful. Poor BPs, no rewarding powers, extremely one sided void. The main game mode was more fun than this.39 comments 961 views last activity

The tunneling, camping and slugging aren"t the only reason why people are quiting the game. Its also because gens are flying way to fast, the meta is stale and repetetive and the reason why killers are tunneling, camping and slugging is because those are strategies to win And IT DOESN"T ALWAYS MEAN THAT KILLERS ARE ######### JUST BECAUSE OF IT. Killers for example are slugging because cause of th12 comments 211 views last activity

I think it's honestly pretty obvious majority of killer players wouldn't last a day as killer if they weren't able to see where every generator is and had to go find them and the survivors working on it manually. Same for finding a hook while carrying a survivor and it's pretty funny how strong Boil Over it's at that. Again the same thing with being shown where gates are, where basement is, etc.10 comments 161 views last activity

It's been just over 3 months since the release of The Walking Dead chapter, and while it came with some really fun perks, some of them are really not powerful enough. This is how I'd personally like to see them changed. Apocalyptic Ingenuity Reduced the Chest Search requirement from 2 to 1 .

There's been a lot of discussion over the past day about the all important exit survey. There seems to be substantial concern that killers aren't getting the same opportunity that survivors are. I'm going to change my tune. I think it is very important that we treat killers and survivors the same on this.

So in the proposed changes for the ptb one of the changes they made from the previous ptb is making it so that survivors have their hitbox again after unhook. They say the reason they did this because before survivors were using the anti tunnel changes offensive which wasnt meant to be used this way but I dont understand this one bit. If survivors get unhook and have 30 second of endurance and t24 comments 702 views last activity

This is because dead by daylight is not the kind of game where the average player is going to be some 5k hour pro who plays the game like they're a comp player. The average (read MOST) newer and casual players are what many people in the fandom would call "bad players." People who don't play the game in the smartest way humanly possible.

The perk went from great to unusably bad in a matter of one patch, can you please just rework it already? If you want to improve the new player experience giving them general perks that are not complete trash would be a good start.20 comments 281 views last activity

The devs keep bringing up that tunneling, camping and slugging are unhealthy parts of the game, but never why they accure. A big component as to why these situations happen is because the killer role just doesn´t have enough tools to combat things like fast gen speeds, rapid healing speeds or just purely unbalanced maps. When are tool boxes going to be addressed ? I think the biggest reason325 comments 6,348 views last activity

The changes that where made a while back to not allow self unhook has took away player choices when everyone is down, if everyone left in match is slugged you can abandon, but you cant attempt to unhook yourself if it was your first hook. in my opinion if the game is giving the abandon option it should also give the self unhook attempts if it is your first hook. I understand why you cant do any0 comments 52 views last activity

When I say "bad faith arguments" I mean the people who like making them know these arguments don't make sense to the most basic levels of scrutiny but yet seem to dominate discussions about DBD across social media. Particularly whenever topics of "tunneling" became the center point for everyone to give their opinions. Number 1: Any of the "get good" varieties.

Sounds effects. Recently there was (maybe still is, though I think I saw it was fixed in the patch notes) a bug with Pyramid Head that made it so you didnt get a sound effect when successfully hitting somebody with your power.

I went through Steam stats and found the 10 rarest achievements in dbd right now. With 288 total in the game, these are the ones barely anyone has unlocked. Not surprised to see Jump Scared (0.2%) at the top — grabbing survivors in the Security Office is insanely rare unless you farm it.

I am trying to remember the ideas, projects, and powers that BHVR put into DBD, that sounded good on paper but in reality they were rubbish.

There are many things in this game that can attribute to the game not being fun on either side, weather it be tunneling, camping, t bagging, taunting, griefing, slugging, bullying etc. But what do all of those have in common? There is a player on the other end, choosing to make another person miserable either as their entertainment, or simply for their benefit.

When a perk is very situational, useless and non viable, people often ask for reworks. Of course I support the idea that all perks should be viable and have some use. But I feel like we're in a weird situation right now. Many perks have very similar function as other perks, but are more situational, have stricter conditions or gives a less useful reward.

Why don't people enjoy playing him? I've been playing him since the day he came out, and I think he's the only fun killer in DBD. No other killer has appealed to me as much as him, but why don't people like playing him?

Here is an example of a player feedback survey that's not rigged to be survivor sided. The reason why I'm posting this, is because the official exit surveys were rigged to be survivor sided, and therefore the survey results are invalid.
