  • As of this half an hour, I'm on about 9 because every lobby has 4 flashlights, 4 toolboxes or 4 medkits and it's 50/50 chance of being a SWF. Wouldn't mind going against some proper survivors and not toxic ones, please. Or a game which doesn't end within 2 mins due to all the toolboxes.

  • Before this gets too far down the pipeline I feel this needs to be said. Rank mode will do nothing. I've seen it before and it will happen again. People will just play unranked and still run all the "unfun" perks and strategies. Ranked mode will not help balancing the game, for both sides, and fixing SBMM will.

  • Boons you can continuously replace after them being snuffed and keep giving your team a "extra perk" and the Killer just looses there hex perk for the rest of the match after being blessed or cleansed. Well how about this for an idea the Survivors can keep on continuously placing Boons and Killers keep snuffing them but, with a more risky reward for the Killer to go find that Boon and Survivors

  • The survey adressed some critical stuff the game is suffering from. Such as the MMR,Hackers,Survivors communications especially soloq,Bots And Sadako which a lot agree she's dissapoingly weak as of now. I hope this survey is indicating that these issues will get taken more seriously in the near future and I do hope the next patch will be the starting point of change. Dead by Daylight has the

  • I know its been said so many times before but the amount of hackers right now in the game and the stuff they can do is enough to ruin everyone games on a daily basis. No matter how much I love this game and its concept,there's just no game to enjoy if it keeps being ruined by hackers and other issues dbd is suffering from but I think the hackers are the biggest problem right now. No one wants t

  • Players Numbers - How to analyze it So, there are a lot of topics about player base numbers from Steam. So, I got really annoyed how people doesn’t understand how to analyze numbers properly. You can only compare things that are identical or at least similar. Example: Can you say if MJ (Michael Jordan) is a tall? To answer that you must compare his height to someone’s else. Mainly, the c

  • So I was reading through his tome again since I needed something to do and was thinking was always able to talk because in the tome clearly he did when killing his mom but my question is. How did he learn to talk was it by his parents or by the TV they gave him to keep him distracted. If it was by the TV how would he know how to ask questions since in the tome he asks what his name was. Anothe

  • Apparently if you're good you're a sweat, knowing how to loop well and efficiently makes you a "sweat" and people try to use it as insults. Well guess what, I can loop insanely well and play well without sweating or trying as much as you claim. Running in a circle or holding a button on a gen isnt hard... Now every game I'm just repeating "I'm a swwweeat" over and over while just chilling bare

  • I swear the more I die, the sweatier the games get. It goes on until I get nothing but sweaty builds and fast boring games that all end the same way. When I took a break from DBD 3 weeks ago I was at a 37 game loss streak. I jumped back in today thinking I'd try some funny builds and just have fun but man. Blight, Blight, Blight, Blight, Blight, Nemesis etc all running the same builds and playin

  • Title. The more strict it gets the harder and harder it is to have any form of fun or enjoyment especially as killer. By no means do I want 0mmr (which would be better than strict mmr imo) but having strict mmr does nothing but make the game boring. Why boring and unfun for survivor? Well survivor you see so limited amount of killers, blight, nurse, camping bubba. Sure some others may pop up o

  • So I was facing a pig and the match goes ad usually ambush attacks,traps what have you then the exits are ready I 99% one and NOED pops so I think maybe I could search for it I don't have any hooks so it's worth it until a Dwight with an active trap opens the gate and leaves but I don't see this until I make it to the exit he's dead on the floor. I sat there thinking either this guy is so new to

  • I feel like dbd would be WAY more newcomer friendly if also the perks from the base game Killers would actually be decent. Yes Billy, Nurse, Dwight, Claudette and Meg actually have all pretty decent perks but the rest of the perks are horrible. Most survivor perks are actually fine like We'll make it, Bond, Kindred, Spine chill and resiience still see play today. However on the Killer side you

So the change: Activation causes the "incapacitated" status effect for 5/6/7 seconds. Then, change incapacitated to also prevent survivors from dropping pallets and vaulting while it is active becau

  • 5 players per match. Ban the maps each of the players previously played last match. BOOM, new map selected for current match. The only other factor which would influence map choice would be offerings, but that would not affect the RNG of maps if no one brought one. But no , thanks for swamp map (grim pantry) 3 times in a row. At least give me the OTHER swamp map.

  • In all the DH threads, survivors have most graciously pointed out that SB is so much better for them than DH. I never realized how 70% or 80% of survivors are deliberately using an inferior perk, to give us killers a chance! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Or...wait. How many of you own monocles and Victorian fainting couches? Hold them tight and pull them near, respectively, becau

  • Hey Guys! I think most of you know that for many years, people are theoryzing about a Conjring Chapter for the game. Personally, I love the Conjuring movies and I think that it can find its place in DBD. Long story short, I made a concept for what is could look like and I thought I share with you and ask for opinions. So here it is (Note: I'm not proper in english so there might be a few grammar

  • I bleed them often if I manage. It is scummy but so is denying my objective in that way. If they refuse to go on hooks they want to be on the ground I guess. Sorry for another thread in such a short span, but I just wanted to ask since I had a match like that just now.

  • I've seen a lot of people mention putting boons on a token system where after being snuffed out or placed X number of times, you can't bless totems anymore. While I agree this could be a potential solution, I don't think it's the best. I think when people mention this solution they tunnel vision only on Boon: Circle of Healing. Yes, this boon is a problem, but if you put boons on a token system,

  • I want to say that I am sorry that your killer is being used to be such a troll. To anyone who thinks that putting the traps and then standing in front a box to try and get a 1k is fun I ask why? I feel bad for the pig mains because this will eventually cause something to happen where she nerfed. I hope that the trap on head addon is not removed but instead for all the idle afk pig turds cause th

  • I just had my first killer game today and it was just miserable. A premade team of rank 1 survivors that bodyblock me and taking hits for eachother. Gens rushed in under 10 min with me chasing them all the time. The game was so stressful and unfun. I think I am starting to understand ppl that use cheats when playing killers. SWF parties should be eliminated from this game and the game would final

  • Guys, i wanna start this thread by saying that i am not a killer main. I PREFER to play killer, but i play both sides equally. After playing this game for roughly 3k hours i've managed to understand many things. One of the most unsettling and unfair of all is that survivor is way more enjoyable and chill than killer and it's not even a personal thing. As survivor: you have the chance to play wi

  • I do atm. I got a little bit tilted about Meg entering lockers all the time with ds and I did it. But wish I didn't because I feel bad now and she wasn't toxic or anything :(. I deserve it I guess. It was early game and no one was toxic that is why I feel bad.

  • Just putting out some numbers, because I love numbers. Also, since we are having a Circle of Healing nerf, I wanted to go through and just calculate how inefficient each type of healing is, compared to gen speeds. Every second of time used in the game is 1.25% of a gen that could be worked. After calculating it out, I'm actually surprised at what I found. If you are an SWF, Booning a Tote

  • Ok, so my hopes for the chapter I wanted has died down. Since this chapter might be an original chapter, here are my top guesses of what the new killer would be. Original killers -spider beast. A giant man spider would be terrifying for players who have arachnophobia -vampire. I'm dracula and I want to suck your blood bluh bluh bluh (I couldn't resist making that joke sorry!!)

  • I recently picked up Sadako (by recently I mean like yesterday LOL) despite the nightmares that girl gave me as a kid. And as survivor I don't like going against her at all, but I found out playing her is actually really fun to me ... go figure. Any killers you guys love playing but hate going against as survivor?

  • I see this perk 4 times every game and every game it is so incredible annoying. Just press e dodge the attack and get to the pallet and make the loop pointless. Nice Perk Devs, you did an awesome job to give the Survivors a perk without counterplay that bullies every killer and takes away the fun of playing the game, because winning mindgames is pointless if the survivor just presses e and every

  • Hey so looking at all of the perks (survivor and killer), it seems like a lot of survivors hate NOED and killers seem to equally dislike Boil Over (as well as Boons). I feel that I always need to point this out but I'm a 50/50 (killer/survivor). Personally, I don't care if a survivor is using BO or even DS for that matter because dropping/ not picking up is always an option that still allows you

All these other days have been horrible, survivor is stomp on any killer who isnt nurse or be face camped. And killer has been just a sweat fest to the point I dont wanna play most of the killers. I want fun, variety. Whether that's perks or killers. Most of these tests just highlight what I d

So my question is this what build and addons with the incoming changes do you think will be the strongest? I should also say that its been a few years since I played as them and I am finding myself getting getting looped and pallet stunned a bit to easily so I need some wor

  • The three I think are the three most annoying (not most effective, annoying) are, in order; 1. Plague with Plaything, Pentimento, Dying Light and Thanatophobia 2. Legion with a similar load out 3. Doctor with Huntress Lullaby, Distressing, Unnerving Presence, Overcharge and two Calm Add Ons. If you're booning Honourable Mention would go to any killer with Haunted Grounds, Thrill of the Hunt,

  • I'm still genuinely confused as to why survivors get a head start by spawning right on top of gens if you don't run corrupt. There are times when I question why the game doesn't just start at 3 gens to complete because the first 2 gens will almost always pop regardless of what you do (unless the survivors are absolute potatoes). I could understand if one survivor always spawned within the line of

  • So...the more I play this killer the more I realize how weak she is, especially as more survivors figure out how to play around her. While I know BHVR aren't willing to help her out right now, I do hope that she gets the love she needs eventually. To that purpose, here are 5 easy fixes to make her better. Get rid of the silly lullaby. There's no reason for her to have it, especially with her
