well, I know it kinda is bad to get this game modded since it sometimes DOES give advantages over the other players, but how about we make it like some other online games, I KNOW it would take a lot of time and effort but how about putting a tab in game where you can download and publish mods, and mods MUST be verified by devs3 comments 201 views last activity

Because matchmaking has been screwed up since the last reset done for MMR, about a year ago, which is also when the Go-Next epidemic started to happen. Now that the Go-Next epidemic is mostly resolved by the new system and encourages Survivors to stay in rounds, it's apparent that people going next have boosted MMR for some people and lowered it badly for others. I think we deserve at least a par9 comments 141 views last activity

Like the title says why is scamper fine for for the 4.6 killer with insane mobility but not the 4.4 killer? Don't get me wrong I think scamper was a cheap ability that needed change but they shouldn't have removed it the way they did. All that was needed for Chucky was for his power to instantly go on cooldown either you scamper or slice n dice. Ghoul on the other hand is a 4.6 killer than can va24 comments 531 views last activity

As far as I know, blocking someone only prevents you from interacting with them in the post game chat.I want the option to fully block certain bad actors: Toxic killers (excessive tunneling, slugging, etc.) “Sweaty” killers using full-meta builds/playstyles that give solo survivors little to no chance Problematic or unfun killers (usually the Kaneki types) Bully squad survivors So that I21 comments 273 views last activity

seriously if u gonna quit the moment u play against a killer that isn't to your liking just don't play the game, i would rather wait few more mins to not play against cheating bots and sore losers literally had a P100 with 7K hours quit on in the first 15 seconds of the game a spirit, and there is no way u gonna tell me that people play against a spirit every game cuz i know that's not true lol16 comments 263 views last activity

I just had a game on rpd where it came down to endgame with the main gate open and an ace as last survivor. We started chase from around the basement (deliverance unhook himself), went into the offices with the god loop, up the stairs and out of the front gate and I swear to god he was gaining distance even when running in a straight line. Like wenn we came down the stairs he made at least like 58 comments 1,002 views last activity

For the last ~7-8 hours i cannot connect to dbd rebooting router, game, steam, PC doesnt help. tried to turn off exitlag/goodbye dpi or try different configurations, nothing helps either.

Why should I have to sit through survivors intentionally prolonging the game instead of just escaping? It is literally just the same thing as killers bleeding the survivors out except the survivors "bleed" the killer out. Like bro, what are we doing? These abandon changes just seem so one-sided. The survivors time is SO important that we have to add an abandon system, but god forbid a killer be173 comments 3,153 views last activity

I can’t tell you the amount of times this has rendered my Unbreakable useless. I’ve now had 5 matches… yes 5, where the second to last person was on hook struggling. I was slugged and I was trying to use unbreakable soul guard to pick myself up and make a hatch attempt. But nope because the killer came to me and moried instantly. Again I don’t know why this was implemented or who asked for it10 comments 201 views last activity

Imagine a Jigsaw comeback of a new killer Jigsaw himself! New K1ll3r: The Jigsaw (John Kramer) Description: John Kramer doesn’t chase. He waits. The Jigsaw plays mind games with the survivors, testing their willpower and coordination. He lays silent traps no noise, no warning, just the ticking clock of survival. -Gripping Mechanism: Set a silent bear1 comments 41 views last activity

Enough already with pointing to a locker your teammate is hiding in it's pathetic. Four games in a row last night someone was not doing gens and pointing to lockers, shack or basement. I thought it was maybe a tactic to distract me but no, up pops someone from basement or runs out shack. And trust me your the one going down not the person you ratted out.

Recently in my games, I’ve been randomly disconnected and given a connection error message. It’s happened like 3-4 times since the anniversary started. I’m wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a similar issue? I’m positive it’s not a network issue on my end as I haven’t experienced anything remotely similar in any other online multiplayer game I’ve been playing recently.

For a while, I've been using a build like Franklin's Demise, Mindbreaker, Pain Resonance and Weave Attunement or the generic build from Otzdarva's website for Springtrap, but i feel like some of these builds don't do well against good survivors, what are some general builds to run on Springtrap and what are some perks that fit well on him?1 comments 221 views last activity

So behaviour changed spawns so all survivors start together, that's fine, I don't really care all that much either way but I feel its an overall positive for the game. Problem is its still not working right, its almost always 3 & 1 or 2 & 2 (without offerings to change them) But worse than that 2 games last night as killer I spawned in with a direct line of sight on a survivor!

Hey, Just wondering how people feel about the extension of the Twisted Masquerade event, taking over Chaos Shuffle which was supposed to occur. Personally, it ticks me off a bit. I have already earned all the cosmetics and whatnot from the event, except for the three banners and charm, which is hardly worth anything. I don't need more time in the event.

Some of the people that play this game make no sense to me. Just played a match against a Clown with BBQ. He was obviously going right towards people after every hook. It got down to me and a David who were working on the last gen, and someone who was on death hook getting chased. That person got downed, so I pre-ran a little after they were hooked because I knew Clown was coming. He ended up1 comments 121 views last activity

Returning player (stopped around 8th year with a small stint playing again with unkown launch) who's been back a month and stuff feels good. Perk variety is generally high bar those who just run 4 slowdown perks as usual (although I see less of them) and as killer I also see a large variety of perks from survivors with more interesting builds.

Ever since skull merchant got gutted they just can´t stop themselves from trying to gut every other killer. First it was chucky, then it was xenomorph, after that it was artist and now it´s clown and pyramid head. Like it genuinely feels like one of the devs had a bad match against those killers and now wants them to be barely playable. The only killer that got a flat base kit buff in a long time2 comments 111 views last activity

Now almost every killer starts with power like chucky,vecna can dreadge finnaly start with it too. Yes he can go across map but same can do springtrap, or at least lower his 12 seconds to like 6 at the start he isnt that strong. He should get more lockers across the map for better mobility like random locker spawns because thats his power and maps like coldwind are terrible with lockers.54 comments 984 views last activity

Just had a match I was dinking around on nurse. Look at the two videos. One its EXTREMELY foggy and ambient with like darkness and a bunch of bloom; as if someone is altering the match with this. This is the same match. Before normal vision. Not really cloudy or any god rays, no ambience or bloom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxwpCvCRpAk After cloudy vision3 comments 91 views last activity

I was playing today (survivor) and out of my first three games I got kicked out of 2 games with a "dedicated server is not responding" message. So I lost my accumulated points in both games. Then I got a five minute match making ban. And I just noticed I got demoted a rank (iri 1 to iri 2) Seems pretty unfair to me. Any chance you could add a few more sanctions for something out of my control? T5 comments 312 views last activity

People who complain about tunneling obviously don’t play killer at high mmr and it definitely shows. Especially when survivors have a plethora of perks that help prevent it. Like decisive strike, dead hard, off the record, even base kit borrowed time. Killers should be allowed to go after the weakest link in order to win.

This is for all the players—*cough cough* killer mains, who ignorantly believe that the 60:40 kill to escape ratio is "balanced" gameplay and that it should stay this way because killer is "supposed to win". This delusion is a confusion about what the word "balance" means, which is essentially the equal and right distribution of something. Imagine you have a scale which weighs gold coins.

A spider killer would pose some.. complications. Based on the game's mechanics it would be a mash up of Trapper/Singularity hybrid, Plague, and Executioner. Web: Random webs that cause hinderance. Ability to place webs. Random without iridescent add on. Poison: M2 ability similar to plague. Thus having to choose between M1 and M2.

I had a scenario where, while playing a low tier Killer that lacks mobility, I was keeping close watch on a hook and nearby gens. But when I came back to chase the unhooker, the Survivor that just got off hook rather than try to leave when I came for their friend, stood under the hook and waited. Now, I understand this is an invitation to let them leave by killing them, so I took it - because to12 comments 181 views last activity

Why should we have to spend 3250 bloodpoints on a map offering that does almost nothing at this point or a sac ward that is absolutely useless now. Sac wards should be completely removed from the game or reworked completely and map offerings should be lowered in price at the very least. There is no reason for map offerings to be blue.2 comments 61 views last activity

If you have seen in the PTB, the new add-on philosophy for items is 5 add-ons of each rarity, but I'm not really sure if that would work for toolboxes really… Toolboxes have two components to them, repairing generators faster and sabotaging, with only 5 add-ons I'm not sure if the variety would be really good enough for both use cases you know.

Title. For me, Id personally add Exhaustion perks/add-ons to Killer. Not add them as in "you get a Speed Boost after X time" but more like the Blight Serum where after hooking a Survivor you get a mini-power that you can use, it would be cool to see something like this to give some of the weaker Killers a bit of a boost. Finally, Id remove/change the "Universal Exhaustion Timer", or the 60/5018 comments 271 views last activity
