  • This is an idea for a new queue in addition to the regular play as killer, survivor, swf. I'll also preface this by saying the idea comes from the moba Smite I used to play several years ago. The idea is based on a "rolling queue" So my idea would be for players that don't have a strong preference to playing as just killer or just survivor. It would be a random queue that takes 5 players and ju

  • Basically I just wanted to say my thoughts of the state of this game now. It is survivor biased and to be honest right now this is the shits and unless they fix it their numbers will keep dropping until this game is 6 ft under figuratively. -nerfs to killers a select few used and basically lies about why they do it. -laughably useless survivor nerfs that do nothing to mitigate the actual probl

  • I'm having a lot of fun with the buffed Dead Man's Switch on Freddy. I managed to block 3 generators using his Class Photo addon last night lol. Has this perk found it's way into your builds?

  • Dear Devs, I see you did not address the Michael Myers add on where he is able to Mori a survivor with only a single down. There is no counterplay when a killer can one shot, then insta-kill every single survivor without even hooking them. For the record. I'm a killer main that plays 2 hours of killer for every 1 hour of survivor.

  • Who else would love it if for april fools there was a fake trailer for the new killer The Crapper? The chapter could be called "Bowels of destruction." The killer being Devon McMillan, The Trapper's shorter and more portly cousin. The crapper can take a crap wherever he wants and any survivor stepping on it will gag from the stench and lose the ability to sprint until clearing the crap. He could

  • When I get back from school and then when I start to play dead by daylight as survivor as usual. It takes a long ass time, I don't know why this is taking too long and when I play as survivor I play normally because I don't wanna play as killer first when I get teabagged and then I have to run lightborn because of that crap they keep on using like flashlights and the clicking. I have to get blood

  • We added Escape Based MMR which nobody likes, everyone opposes it and demands to rework it at best or to scrap it altogether at worst. We ignore it, because this game is similar to hockey, and one lead designer knows better than thousands of experienced players. We added the disastrous map of Raccoon City, which almost nobody likes. People suicide and AFK on it, people "crash" on RPD offerings,

  • So fun. You'll lose more than likely but who cares?! Why would you want harder matches anyway? Go in as Bubba, run speed limiter, BBQ, enduring, and spies or some other form of tracking perk and drop your envelope. As long as you get a handful of saw hits, 5 or 6 hooks, and grab someone else's envelope you'll rack up 80k to 100+ every match. It's funny. Last game all four got out, I depipped,

  • ...and if you can't win with Blight, Artist etc. right now i have to tell you that your MMR level is too high. Everyone is going for envelopes, this event isn't fun as solo survivor because your team isn't doing gens and is running into the killer straight from the beginning just for a stupid envelope. DMS is insane on high mobility killers, i mean the recent Scourge + Pop meta was already good e

  • We have these Legendary characters in the game , who we seen completely annihilate individuals single handedly. If they plan to add more legends of horror,they need to be rightfully powerful.In some ways the original killers are stronger than the license character's rightfully so.I just hope future killers are balance but powerful.With mass boon totems,Leader,Resilience Brand New Part and now th

  • I really love this game. There isn't really any game like it to be honest. Since I love this game, I find it sad to see many people stop playing for certain reasons. Sure, there are imbalances on both sides of the game. Sure, BHVR could be more considerate of feedback from the player base. Yes, there are probably better cosmetics we could get other than emblems. (lol) But I've personally experien

  • Okay, so I decided that I wanted to play Wraith. And then I realised that I owned the "Withering Wines" cosmetic for him. But the thing is, I never bought it, at least I don't remember buying it so now I don't know what to do. I just wanna know if it's okay if it stays there or if I have to contact BHVR or something to get it removed?

  • Thought I would jump on a try a few games with the even going. Anyone else getting insanely long queue times? Been sitting here trying to get a game as killer for about forty five minutes and counting. Tabbed over and been doing other things while waiting but, going to have to call it quits soon.

  • After watching the trailer for the next Tome, I wonder why Pig still doesn't have a unique theme song. Most licensed killers that came before the Demogorgon and after Myers (Bubba, Freddy, Pig and GhostFace) did not receive a menu/chase theme (excluding the GF that received a menu theme at least). She received buffs and nerfs during her long time in this game and now, she will have her own

  • So from what I understand in order to unlock the cosmetics someone has to interact with my envelope in order to unlock a reward. So does that mean I get nothing if nobody interacts with the envelope?

  • So now survivors are using this perk with RPD or Eirie offerings to stay in a high area and wiggling out with Boil over, then coming back up and staying there. Why isn't this reportable as taking games hostage? "ooh why so angry we were just memeing" shut up And if I slug them, they will spam my steam profile by calling me trash, slugger, and a lot more insults. On the PTB there was a lot of fe

  • Now that it's official that Tome 10 is based off of the saw chapter what dose this mean for the future of saw in DBD? What I and many other's want is more cosmetics for both tapp and Amanda. Perhaps Legendary skins with separate voice SFX.

  • I just wanted to say that the new cinematic is great. The graphics and attention to detail are amazing BUT I think there is a huge lack of realism. There is a definitive lack of teabaging, flashlight clicking and generally disrespecting the killer. I am also baffled by the fact that at least 2 survivors don't have toolboxes/or medkits so they can either heal in 5 seconds, finish that gen or sabo

  • Lets hypothetically say survivors brought me to rpd and i was pig, and they were doing the boil over cheese, and one of them happened to trap themselves up there because my controller magically died and they had an active hat on, which kills them Would i be punished for my controller acting up?

  • What are the typical queue times for players lately? Killer matches I can queue up in like 30 seconds but solo survivor is usually 5-10 minutes. I'm also central US playing around 6-10 pm, on Xbox with cross play on. Is this about the same for everyone else? I want to play survivor more but would rather keep getting into games instantly.

  • I like Clown. I love his laughter and jiggling his belly on helpless survivors. I think healthy fix to 🤡 would be: The Clown has a new mode. At the start he simply has his basic M1 weapon. You toggle the button of choice to switch to “Tonic Mode”. The Clown now has 3 bottles of each tonic. M1 becomes the Afterpiece, and the second ability button is the Antidote. In this mode the Clown can gas

  • I was penalized several times today after the update. in a game playing it goes to the main menu and says host disconnection, or else in the lobby waiting to join a game. It makes no sense to unfairly penalize and punish when I got worse with this latest update. I'm from steam and I already uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

  • In the last few weeks i saw a increasing amount of survivors running into me at the start of the match and then kill themself on Hook and killers just afking in a corner of the map. I saw a lot of new players playing against very experienced players, not because they're so good or not (only) because MMR sucks, but because a lot of good players purposefully derank to have easier matches.

  • If anyone still thought it would be 4 s delay for self-healing, this video demonstrates that it's only 2.29 s (16 to 18.29). For co-op healing it's only 1.14 s (8 to 9.14) after nerf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfNVU3O1g7A Mikaela must be selling really well, so we'll have to wait more months for (maybe) a solid nerf.
