What if they added in a perk that made it where you had a boost per generator completed that was significant like a bunch of haste for the duration of the match , but had a counter where if you find the killer at any point in the match , the perk is disabled . i’m talking like borderline OP effects that can make the killer almost unstoppable if ignored .1 comments 30 views last activity

And this time they allowed people to submit questions in advance before it starts. I've always missed out by being a nightshift worker and having to sleep by then But now i finally might have my question answered! But they might also notice its me and skip my question.

These 2 maps use to work in older dbd times but in 2026 the flow of these maps is felt so poorly in 2026. Both these maps are designed in a way where as killer you literally have to just ignore half of the map and pretend it doesnt exist otherwise you essentially lose. BHVR specifically avoid making loops interlock in modern designed maps and both these maps have every jungle gym squished tog8 comments 170 views last activity

When Henry came out I thought we were making progress. Both of his attack powers—Undergate and Vine Attack—are heavily delayed not only near a hooked survivor but for a limited period after the unhook. The great thing about this design is that it isn't a dead stop. The power can still be used if the killer gets the distance or timing right, or gets lucky, but it's thoughtful enough that he can't19 comments 500 views last activity

Im just a casual player, but it’s clear to me that Dbd doesn’t get enough balance changes. We finally get some in the next chapter, but how long did this take? And yes we got perk changes along the trickster rework, but they were bad: Self Preservation is extremely unhealthy for the game since it counters only Perks like bbq, Alien instinct and friends till the end (wich are healthy perks sinc33 comments 542 views last activity

Like does anybody actually enjoy this game mode? Chaos shuffle and 2v8 definitely both have their issues but at least they are enjoyable. Killer or surv lights out is not particularly fun for either side. Killers have a nightmare tracking survs down and gens absolutely fly. And survs put themselves at huge amounts of risk by just trying to do gens. And honestly who thought basekit franklins wou19 comments 441 views last activity

So the Corus of Sin Chapter dropped and I’m gonna be so honest this is one of the best chapters I have played in a while. I am not even kidding and I think it’s best to start with the main attraction of this chapter. The Judgment: now as a controller player I genuinely thought this killer was gonna be the equivalent of trying to eat with chopsticks for me, but honestly, the controller specif0 comments 100 views last activity

Judgment's exile mechanic is a very present thing in lobbies, you get the heresy somehow, and exile them. Having so many perks nullified because of a 4 second button press, is really wack. ( Stuff like this exists for both sides, but those are both bad and should be addressed. ) I believe, SOME unhook perks should carry to the exile unhook. Especially, We'll make it or DS.13 comments 221 views last activity

With the constant back and forth of the anti-tunnel and its abuse but necessity this could be a fun status they could try. Basically combining the 2 anniversary effects of immortality (your weapon completely phases through them as if they arent there) and invisibility (they become completly invisible and leave no scratch marks or grunts of pain), Incorporeal would remove the endurance,haste,and s7 comments 150 views last activity

I was originally quite interested in this chapter, but as time went on and I saw the PTB any excitement I had quickly vanished. I will say that visually this chapter is a home run both of the characters are visually interesting and the exile looks really cool. The perks are also a little underwhelming but we voted for them so what can I really say other than meh. HOWEVER I really feel that t0 comments 71 views last activity

Upon my first time seeing the judgements power in action I was shocked, why you may ask? Because survivors gain heresy upon being hit with power. Now this sounds like I'm against it but I'm really all for it, I just want to point out the double standards. Why can pyramid head still not have the same thing, when torment is an objectively weaker version of heresy? It simply makes no sense. I don't7 comments 181 views last activity

I was thinking about it, I understand why we can't pick ourselves up. Sometimes it is better to slug so you can apply pressure around the map. However, why does it kill you? Does it not just provoke people to not hook, which is a gameplay that is not intended? They added slug timers as a detail to prevent killers from holding survivor hostages when there weren't any other way to progress the matc42 comments 420 views last activity

so I left the game as my main game around 2-3 years ago. I hop in from time to time but I still keep up with the game on YouTube and other social medias.

I don't understand these survivors. They get unhooked, take the endurance hit or block a hallway for the unhooker. So I hit them or wait out the rest of the Endurence timer when they stand still infront of me blocking my way and then they insult me in the Endgame chat for "Targeting them"6 comments 190 views last activity

A solution for badham actually already exists, its called Badham Preschool III. 3 was MUCH MUCH more balanced than 1. since you already have the map completed, why not just retire badham 1 like yous did the other 4 and reinstate badham 3? its quiet literally a reworked badham already there. just switch the map weights. i GUARANTEE if yous replace badha6 comments 190 views last activity

I won't be commenting on if this is good or bad design or whether it fits DBD or not I'm just stating some observations from watching a ton of gameplay the past couple days. I think the reason Judgement has been considered so hard by so many people so far is because she's like Nurse in that she does not play normal DBD. It's kinda been established already her chase is fairly weak and you kinda32 comments 711 views last activity

I always had this idea of a Dramaturgy random effect perk for killer, so it would work like this: Scourge Hook: Bloody Dice At the start of the Trial, 4 random Hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks : The auras of Scourge Hooks are revealed to you in white . Each time a Survivor is hooked on a Scourge Hook the killer gains 10% haste for 5 seconds, followed by an unknown effect: E1 comments 40 views last activity

I’ve been playing this game for a really long time and noticed here recently that we have a big problem with some killers. No matter if you’re in a swf it’s still hard to beat them. Ex: chucky, knight, trickster, these killers that are stated are so awful to go against I always get 4 manned slugged no matter what and just lowers the fun I have for the game. Playing against a knight is so mindless11 comments 190 views last activity

Upon rewatching this movie, I reeeeally want a survivor pack of Tucker and Dale. I threw together some perks for each of them just a moment ago as well... Maybe they're great? Maybe they're horrible?

So long as achievements are tied to specific characters, maintaining 100% of the achievements everytime a new chapter arrives kind of forces the player to buy every DLC that comes in with the game, even if its something you don't want/like.

Why does the spirit need to fade in and out when she walks? How am I supposed to win mind games when I can’t even see when she turns directions?

So… Dead by Daylight turned 10 years, 1 month and 21 days old. And somehow, in 2026, we still have a hard 120 FPS limit. Amazing progress. Mouse sensitivity is also capped for some reason — want it higher? Too bad, you can’t. Are the developers ever planning to remove these outdated restrictions, or should we just mark our calendars for 2036? Would love a real reply from someone on the team.

Is it just me or is everyone abusing Jason in light out to win? About 90% of my matches has been against Jason and ive won against him once.

Today almost every single match I've played, I've been put on a server where I and most of the rest of the lobby are on 150ms or so. It feels like dogwater to play on, and it usually isn't this bad.

How exactly are we supposed to do the trophy when we never get the map. I used like 10 billion offerings and got the map once and got chased the entire game so I couldn't get any gens done.

I've been playing a lot more killer lately and I still don't get why some killer players will slug for minutes on end, often times going to such lengths as repeatedly picking up the 3rd survivor to prolong the game for a chance to find the 4th survivor. Like, I get it if you know where the last survivor is, even if they're halfway across the map, and you want the 4th kill. I do the same thing. Bu95 comments 1,798 views last activity

You cannot access the whole loadout menu because perks and items are not fit for this modifier but at least burning bloodpoint offerings would be good. Since it is possible to disable perks and items/addons (and also offerings) in custom games. Also disabling certain offering types such as map offerings was used in the map showcase queues so it would not be that difficult to limit more types (luc1 comments 71 views last activity

I think that's a more accurate name for this event be what was the thought process behind these changes "Let's take an event where the whole point is it's dark and you can't see anything and neither side gets perks, but give survivors basekit windows so it completely defeats the point of it being dark" I don't really get into balance discussions but I can't keep quiet over this like cmon man, i11 comments 440 views last activity

In the current PTB survivors get punished for toxicity against the judgment. This works like: being in a range of 10m I think when you tbag 3 times or emote 3 times and it makes the survivor heretic (Judgment special status effect) and blocks exit gates. This is a nice feature and fits the character of the killer, but …. Why can’t this be basekit for all killers? Becoming heretic doesn’t do an17 comments 370 views last activity

So I'm a killer main with around 23k hours, and when I first saw Lights Out 2+ years ago, it was the goofiest, most thrilling thing (at least for me) when it came to playing as a killer. Several times, I would play horror icons just to scare people, whether they were random people enjoying themselves or Twitch streamers, to get those AMAZING reactions. A good example is Michael Myers. I didn't6 comments 441 views last activity
