In the first 2v8 each killer had unique killer specific abilities that would affect both that killer and the kilelr they would be teaming up with. I personally really liked this and made it so playing each killer felt more unique and affected the combinations of killers even more. I think it'd be really cool if those killer specific abilities could come back.2 comments 51 views last activity

killer is now at its worse in years and will only get worse next update. Want to kill a survivor? Nope! you'll get punished by not being allowed to kick gens. Want to kick gens? Nope! you're limited on gen kicks and gen kicking is barely impactful. Want to get someone out quickly? Nope! the rest of the survivors will be buffed along side you wont be able kick gens. Want to camp? Nope! Survivors c16 comments 382 views last activity

We now have anti slugging, anti tunneling and anti face camping. Hopefully the generator speed will be reduced to help the M1 killer after the latest patch.36 comments 621 views last activity

I'm going to preface this post by saying that we don't have the full details for the 9.2.0 patch and things can still change. I know this probably won't be a popular post. That being said, I think the game design mentality for 9.2.0 is completely flawed and completely ignores deeper game issues - and I don't care about tribes, I want the game to be engaging and enjoyable for both sides.

So admittedly, I'm a survivor main and really baby at playing killer (prior to this I stuck to Trapper when playing killer), but during the 2v8 event, I've been trying out Spirit while duo-ing with my friend and I've found her really enjoyable to play. Problem is I know that Killers in 2v8 receive pretty buffed kits and the whole game mode is different, so I have no idea where to even start for2 comments 31 views last activity

Like I'm glad there fixing the Kidnap Tech but why isn't he getting more nerfs? He's easily the most hated killer in the game due to his free hits, short cooldowns, getting grabs hits threw objects and walls and generally unfun to go against. Like c'mon devs you can squeeze in an extra nerf or two to him.32 comments 954 views last activity

Is it just me or is it absolutely absurd how much ######### killers have to keep track of and jump through hoops to just be able to play the game without being punished at this point especially compared to survivors? its completely exhausting. yes killers are getting some buffs but the amount of power is not even comparable to the survivors, The killers will get a semi bbq but it only shows p37 comments 711 views last activity

Is BHVR going to address survivors that bring a Sabo build? When they do these type of builds, they tend to bring unbreakable or boon exponential because they know killers will drop and slug to try and counter this game play. Now a survivor just needs to be slugged for 90 seconds once in order to always have built in unbreakable (90 sec timer doesn't reset - confirmed by dev) With killers being12 comments 161 views last activity

i was just playing on The Game. (unfortunately not recording so i can't provide a clip) and when i tried to throw the FotD at a raised pallet i was a little closer than i meant to and got stunned at the same time as i pressed activate. the skeletons flew off mid stun in a raised diagonal and then that power was completely unusable for the rest of the match. i could use the other spells but that o0 comments 31 views last activity

Some of you may remember that a former dbd balance dev (Almo) has left the company this January and with the knowledge of the next patch I can confidently say that ever since he left the game gone down hill. It´s been a revert after a revert this year, first it was xenomorph, than artist´s addons, than after that the knight nerfs and now, from the looks of it, the clown changes.

It's clear to everyone that the updates included in the next PTB will significantly change the game of DbD. Therefore, I believe it's necessary to collect even more data than ever before. This is because the behavior of literally every killer will change dramatically. Early reduction in numbers and DbD (or rather, asymmetrical competitive games) are inextricably linked, and there are even playsty1 comments 51 views last activity

The recent anti-tunneling and slugging changes seem to punish killers, but I believe they could be a hidden opportunity for a healthier game. By clearly defining what they don't want (slugging/tunneling), BHVR has essentially forced themselves to address the root cause: some killers need those tactics to win. If the changes are effective, it will blatantly expose which killers are underpowered6 comments 121 views last activity

There's already a lot of systems that have been introduced to the game that simply are not explained in the tutorial or anywhere diagetically (in-game). I don't think it even covers hexes, and they've been in the game since like 2017. Add in the proposed changes and there's a lot of new basekit information and events that aren't clearly demonstrated or elucidated for new players or players who0 comments 11 views last activity

Sense Killer is now being punished for doing there Job and morely I play is killer its obvious that the Devs don't want Killers in there Game. The Gens Already go Very fast as it is and honestly my Main Unknown being Buffed isn't enough Unless there is gonna be a huge change to how Killer doesn't need to tunnel and Slug im not touching this game.50 comments 822 views last activity

I watched a known streamer react to Myers upcoming well, on the road map his changes are road kill. His rush just looks like he hopped on a keyboard, isn't Myers meant to be stealth, stalking etc? I mean have changes really worked well for other Killers?

So, if you have ever seen me around these forums, you know that I'm the biggest advocate for killer rights, and 9 times out of 10 I have criticism to how the devs have been handholding survivors all the time since Skull Merchant got her first rework. That being said, I actually think that the update the devs announced might actually be good for the game overall, but it will all depend on a single35 comments 803 views last activity

Go for the points Don't need to go with details on how it should work, but basically: -Killer spread hooks and all survivor escapes They get around 40k to 50k points from the match -Killer hard tunnels survivors and kill everybody They get around 5-7k points So it's all about their choice. They pick which type of fun they want to have. Also, anti-tunnel survivor perks should be drastical3 comments 51 views last activity

Tunneling is essentially the best way to progress your killer grade at the moment, and now that getting kills this way is harder, can it be switched to be based on accumulated hook stages instead? (Reward evenly hooking)5 comments 81 views last activity

Practically speaking, if the PTB changes go live, all generator perks other than Corrupt are permanently dead. That means a shift to NOED and gate blocking meta for all non mobility killers, since, with the new changes, you will effectively be unable to regress gens for most of the match if you are playing remotely efficiently. Many perks relevant to survs being unhooked are now also going to b0 comments 31 views last activity

behaviour did a Q&A in 2021 where they said that a killer killing a survivor counts as a win while if a survivor escapes that counts as a win for that individual survivor. In this same clip they say that one dbd match is basically 4 1v1s for the killer. If that's how this game works then why are we getting the antitunnel changes? These chanegs now directtly go against the killers win conditio3 comments 131 views last activity

With these changes, survivors can simply force the killer to tunnel. Off the hook? Chase the killer. Follow them literally everywhere so that you're always in position to flashy save or pallet save. If the killer downs you while doing this, they wont pick up because they get punished for it. And then you get up thanks to base kit unbreak. If they down someone else, they can't pick up because you'18 comments 301 views last activity

So as we all argue over how the next patch will destroy DbD for ever and ever, one of the big things is we don't have any numbers. This most likely intentional on BHVR's part to stir interest over the weekend. Now we could do the reasonable thing and all calm down and wait just a couple of days for the actual numbers. But that's boring. Let's all lean into the pandemonium. Cards on the table ti6 comments 61 views last activity

Hi everyone, My name is Bleak and I am a Dracula main that has devoted so much time into this character to the point where I only have mained this character since his release and even PTB alone. I wanted to cover the Dracula changes and I know we don't have the numbers yet until the actual PTB notes but I did want to raise some concerns I have about what is going to happen.

Across the internet in the discourse that is the PTB changes a common argument against the changes is that every killer except the top 5-10 will be unplayable as they cannot win games without forcing a 1v3. This is a confusing point because it's a 1v4 game. Being able to consistently force a 1v3 is inherently unbalanced and unhealthy for the game.

Patch 9.2.0 is madness, so in order to find a smart solution to the slugging and tunneling problem, we decided to completely punish the killer by giving two perks as a base kit for survivors: tenacity and umbreakable, which can always be used after exceeding 90 seconds in a dying state. Furthermore, the killer is punished for killing survivors. Congratulations! Now no one will play low-tier kil2 comments 71 views last activity

5 times, 5 TIMES IN A ROW I've had a Legion-Oni duo, and 5 TIMES IN A ROW I've been tunneled out instantly. 2v8 is still riddled with toxic killers as well as survivors who would much rather throw you under a bus than be decent human beings. For a company who has been saying that they've been listening to feedback, it surely doesn't look like it.7 comments 152 views last activity

I have a question , what can we do to not get this update , because this looks horrible. And you know people played this game for 9 years , i am too spent a lot of time in this game.

That was the only thing that kept my playing this buggy mass of spagheti code, where the devs cut every corner . But2 comments 71 views last activity

This is coming from a killer main, but one who is for the goals behind the new PTB updates. I think making it so slugging/tunneling/camping are less viable is good, and while I do think they need to tweak survivor perks that can make this super exploitable (Flip -flop/Boil over which can make it physically impossible to hook someone you downed), I'm not going to add to the arguments against t10 comments 261 views last activity

If a Survivor dies before 6 total hook states, all remaining Survivors gain a repair speed bonus for the rest of the Trial. If the Survivor that was last hooked is Sacrificed or Killed, generators cannot be regressed or blocked.

I dislike being treated like a kid with these obvious psychology tricks.

I play mostly survivor and it's just so much more chill, goofy and funny even with the killers. So many funny head bops and funny 2v1 interactions xD. I just love this mode man.

I just got done reading the August developer update and just had a question about the repair speed bonus that'll be granted to survivors if one dies before the killer gets 6 hooks. I hope a dev can answer this.

Since they mentioned that they want myer players to get both of both worlds so stealth + lethality in a simple switch from one to another. They also mentioned they want to keep OG tier 3 with Tuft addon but thats about it what has been mentioned.

We saw this in many game, game devs will try to push for easier accessibility to new players. Based on steam daily players, many inflood of new player as well as returning players. The job of content devs here is to keep those players in, which mean majority would be survivors. I think for this patch, they will try to buff this kind of way, and later on, will buff killers back.

Yes, it is a bit early to jump to conclusions before the PTB gets revealed and had a proper test with it, but I have been growing very worried about these changes the more I think about it.

Sooooo they're basically nullifying like 20 perks both on survivor’s AND killer's end?? This upcoming update is going to be INSANE for the meta and while I appreciate trying to lead the community into a healthier state of the game, I think this was way too drastic. Though, I must say, I don't mind the Myers rework.6 comments 141 views last activity

The PTB is adding both the Slugging Reduction and Tunneling Reduction updates. These are big changes that will create a lot of feedback, and keeping them in the same section will make things harder to follow. Devs/Mods, please consider opening separate feedback sections for each update so the discussions stay organized.2 comments 41 views last activity

Think about it, it means as soon as it gets to 2 survivors it means auto 4k. As soon as killer hooks one they see aura of remaining survivor, so no chance of a save or getting hatch. It means stealth is dead.16 comments 231 views last activity

Well i guess Killers have a Survivor rule book at hand now while playing The Game now. If you as Killer see 3 Gens Pop on ur first Chase and you need to get a single kill before 6 hooks and you need to get a Kill Quickly you now will be punished for doing ur job. Its like telling a survivor they can't do 3 Gens before the killer gets 6 hooks the Killer will get mega Buffed because they are doin10 comments 251 views last activity

After reading the developer update, specifically regarding the anti-tunnel measures, it's hard to make a general opinion on how they'll play out, due to being such a complicated system. However, one thing stands out to me as immediately problematic: the fact that the anti-tunnel measures suppress Killer Instinct.
