what do you think the best generic perk is for each side? I'd say spine chill and sloppy butcher21 comments 271 views last activity

If the survivors are exposed to the hit when the killer is carrying the survivor to delay it, that's fine. But why hasn't the mechanic been removed when the survivor sits under the hook and the killer cannot hang the survivor next to the hook?9 comments 172 views last activity

Been having a lot of fun with this lately when faced with obvious SWFs. Down and hat the first person you see (ideally not the obsession). Allow an unhook (late) in the first hook stage, ideally a couple gens have blown by now. Don't get stunned and show your nemesis perk. Tunnel the unhooked person and wait out a possible DS. If not the obsession, make sure you get stunned once to make0 comments 91 views last activity

It was good during testing then it's like they just hit it with Sloppy butcher and ruined it what happened it was good sure a bit wonky but rare to see it happen then just this.12 comments 141 views last activity

This post was made during my 30 minute penalty for disconnecting. If I'm not wrong, this is the length for leaving 5 times, and I'm disconnecting only when facing a hacker. For the past few years (early 2018 until ~mid 2021) I've never faced a hacker even once. But that changed around the time the MMR system got fully released. If I am estimating it right, I should be placed above the average in16 comments 461 views last activity

Is this new? The killer was spamming something which stopped me from being able to recover or crawl on the ground. He did that for a whole minute thinking I had decisive. I only recorded the end of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL3Mne-PFnI but you can see the whole think at 04:24:00: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1288371038 He even mocked me saying he was "pretty much ready" whe32 comments 401 views last activity

Storytime thread: share a story about an interesting game you had recently. Bonus points for unexpected endings and tactics you previously didn't know about. I had one of my luckiest games ever this evening. It started off badly: The first chase I committed to was a Visconti - turns out he was an Iridescent I and an excellent looper.

When talking about best killers in the game it's always Nurse and Blight and then Spirit but no one talks about Hag, ever. She is my #1 most hated killer to go against probably but holy moly is she powerful. She is probably the only killer that does not need perks to actually 4k even in higher ranks, and once she sets up her 3 gen perimeter or has a basement hook it's mostly gg.

What on earth is happening with skill based matchmaking? I play survivor and get a consistent 6 to 7 match win streak and yet im still being put up against literal babies, then i go onto killer and proceed to loose every single game to 4 red ranks who whoop my butt each and every time, yet the matchmaking refuses to stop giving me red ranks.

why some survivors have a lot of cosmetic sets, and some have very few. Feng Ming almost always gets sets of clothes, and my beloved Jane Romero very rarely. Will the developers be giving away cosmetic packs to everyone, not just a select few?1 comments 41 views last activity

I mean, please someone tell me a good reason for this. With all the things outside of our control, RNG, map offerings, tombstone piece, SWFs, afk pigs, etc. I have always thought, the biggest disconnect between survivors and killers were the words, "Entity Displeased. " As if a bad game wasn't enough, you had to rub it in a person's face. Which often led to sweaty play to avoid those wor42 comments 731 views last activity

So I can't put images in for some reason but SWF all have DS,BT and DH vs someone with Bloodhound,Franklin's and Lethal Pursuer how is this fair matchmaking in the slightest tell me how is it fair. Let me guess it's your mmr skill level yeah no it's not it's because they made a sorry excuse for a new system that barely works what happened it worked fine during testing now this.6 comments 141 views last activity

I mean the devs give the survivor choice for que with friends, then shouldnt other party can have a choice to not vs them unless they want a real challenge. I mean its already been proven that SWF is very efficient in making gen fly. I8 comments 81 views last activity

Flashlights useful...kinda hard to master but easy to understand but in the wrong hands they become a tool of an easy kill. Why do people click their flashlights they don't even try blinding or anything they just click and end up dead so why bring a flashlight.10 comments 91 views last activity

Really? We are still debating on if this game is killer sided or survivor sided? There’s clear proof killer is in an unstable situation where it’s too difficult to play killer lets start listing them off shall we? ~ RPD ~ Boil over ~ half the killers are straight trash ~ 99 the exit switch with 3 minutes to leave ~ hook counts going down ~ pallet counts going up if anyone thinks killers a13 comments 331 views last activity

We can see the survivors ping after the game starts, so clearly they have the ability to show us the survivors and the killers ping before the game starts. But instead they force players into horrible games against vpn users. I am tired of getting killers that hit me through a pallet gap after i have turned the corner and taken 5 steps behind the wall. I am tired of getting team mates that dc4 comments 91 views last activity

Survivors have it, they can also start far away from the killer.... But killer only has the option to have them start separated... which is the most counter productive offering there is. No killer wants the survivors to start the match with a huge advantage lol9 comments 201 views last activity

The most rage inducing thing in the game, is when survivors exploit game mechanics to do dirty #########. Playing the killer is bad enough during normal matches, but then to have to deal with broken game mechanics adds salt to the wound. Nothing more annoying than when a survivor who hides somewhere or just happens to be near when you get a down and gets the stun, and they get off your shou35 comments 561 views last activity

I don't mean the actual proper tactic I mean dropping something and literally just staring at them from the match no exit gates are powered or anything just standing there not doing anything what do they get out of this. I've escaped through hatch because they slugged me this kind of slugging literally just shows you haven't ever won.9 comments 101 views last activity

Why, after I am sacrificed, am I not allowed to see the perks and add ons the Killer has been using? If I want to know, I have to wait for the match to finish... I play solo (sad times...). I get that an SWF could then share this info with each other, but the game must know that I'm not SWF. Besides, I don't like the fact that SWFs can communicate anyway, but it is what it is, I get it, but nobo58 comments 821 views last activity

2 of Spirit’s add-ons ( notably Senko Hanabi & Mother’s glasses ) need a rework for them to be actually useful in chase. Currently, what the former does is, it blocks all vault locations within a 4-meter radius of Spirit for 5 SECONDS! when the husk “ explodes “ .... how is that useful? Either increase the range from which the vault locations can be blocked or increase the time they stay2 comments 101 views last activity

After I got my first down in a match, right beside the shack, I tried to take Mikaela to the basement. Boil Over made me waste a little more than I should while going to the door, but then I started going down the stairs, directly from the top to avoid falling from a height. But then... I "jumped". While she wiggled and I tried to walk straight, I was suddenly propelled forward, into the air, an11 comments 211 views last activity

Hi! Made an account for the forums to try and get a feel for what people think about mouse & keyboard being added to consoles? Whilst BHVR have said it's not currently planned, I know that I personally prefer using mouse & keyboard inputs on a lot of the games on my Xbox - and DBD would be a very very welcome addition to this. The only potential issue I'd see would be having an advantage1 comments 11 views last activity

Boy I sure do love queuing 5-10 minutes for a survivor game only for some salty player to DC and ruin the match for everyone else I wish this was a rare occurrence but survivors DCing is so common it’s practically become a meme at this point Maybe it’s time to rework the DC penalty because it doesn’t seem like the current system is working, perhaps if there was a harsher punishment/ longer ti26 comments 281 views last activity

Playing survivor this morning with a friend. She escapes, we both escape, she gets 28k points, two iri emblems and two gold, she did gens, cleansed two totems, had two decent chases, and two saves plus healing. No pip. Very next game, 28k points, same emblems, did one less totem and gen, pipped. Fast forward, I'm playing killer now. 3 kills, 11 hooks, about an 8-10 minute match, one escapes3 comments 61 views last activity

As a killer, I love it. It rewards hooking and synergizes well with PR. As a survivor, it's agonizing at first but once you know it's in play you can avoid it altogether. With the devs announcing changes to boil over that was buffed at the same time as DMS, but not saying anything about DMS, does that mean they're happy with the changes?

My new sad record today. 5 killer games, including 3 tickets with video evidence because of hacking.Sorry, but this is really no fun anymore (5 matches and on 3 ...only hackers) and today I thought about hanging up Dead By Daylight for the first time after more than 5 years. I'm really sorry for the developers, but if this continues, I don't want to support the game anymore. Don't be mad at me, but I'm just frustrated and in a bad mood after all this crap. This can really no longer be true suc0 comments 41 views last activity

How come it's super toxic for a killer to slug,tunnel, camp at 5,4,3 gens but it's OK for survivors but it's OK for survivors tobstop the killer from even getting there first hook? I can't count how many times survivors have made sure I cant even get 1 hook. If you tell me it's only swf that do it then lime 70% of my matches must be swf because it happens alot.47 comments 681 views last activity

Even with my in-game graphics settings (graphics quality and resolution) turned to the very lowest they can go, I get a terrible framerate and awful lag, plus my game freezes for a few seconds whenever a generator is completed. If I turn any of my graphics settings above the minimum, my game crashes when I try to load into a match.

Hello there ! The reason why I made this post was to give my ideas on how to improve Pinhead’s weaker add-ons and address his broken add-ons along with making him less annoying to go against when it comes to using the Lament Configuration during a Chain Hunt.

I just find it strange the devs have no issue at all throwing in massive perk changes for survivors that literally change the game or are very strong like COH changed the way killers play it was so strong. It ruined entire builds and playstyles. They change boil over, and again it breaks the game. They immediately respond to it further showing it really was a big deal.

First of all, the new wiggle mechanic. The new beta tab allows you to hit skill checks to wiggle out. Is it possible to wiggle out faster with this new mechanic? Because there seem to be great skill checks within the skill checks, and whenever someone hits one of those, the wiggle bar turns yellow, which normally indicates an increase in action speed. But that would be quite bad, balancing wise37 comments 2,381 views last activity

I played on Léry's Memorial Institute the other day and I was thinking about the operation theatre center. There are at least 5 or 7 screens hanging from the ceiling, and that gave me an idea / thought that might happen. Sadako might spawn with 3 or 4 small screens hanging on every gen. She might be able to keep away survivors from a specific gen otherwise they will get cursed, Similar to Fredd0 comments 31 views last activity
