  • By that I mean the UI, animations, gameplay loop and core game systems in general. I understand adding new chapters is fine but all the map overhauls, cosmetic and item updates is not only fundamentally changing how the game looks but soon I fear we will be in an oldschool Runescape/WOW situation where half the fanbase will want to play an older build of the game and I feel the Animation/UI chang

  • I hear all the time that forums are survivor/killer sided. Depending who you ask decides the answer. But i wonder. Considering the game NEEDS a majority of survivor players, there does seem to be an over representation of killer players. What would cause this? Is it true that if you are coming here to the forums you are heavily invested in the game? Is it true that we as (mostly) human being

But i live in Texas and was without power for a couple of days and have been without internet for even longer because of the blizzard and all i can think about as a i lay under a sheet of ice and snow is how i could have got my P3 Laurie to level 50 by now with the login bonuses alone....its a cold winter

  • I've had several games on Haddonfield where the window and pallets spawn so close that you cannot control which one you're using. It had me performing unwanted actions, several times, instead of using the window. I have never seen this before. Did you change something in the patch? Where Nancy is standing is the middle of where the pallet was.

  • I installed the latest patch that announced the pip bug after matches had been fixed but it hasn't. I've had since got either survivors or killers disconnecting while the match is loading and got - 1 instead of going back to the waiting camp. And that's on top of getting - 1 when it shows 0 or getting a +1 and having no pips added. I don't understand what's going on. Has it happened to

  • I keep hearing about the killer hit box being crazy but im seeing like the opposite in my games. Idk if anybody else is having the same problems. The survivor will be inches from me and it does not hit. Or even standing right in front of me while I got them blocked in and I swing and it does not hit lol Didn't have this issue before the update so idk.

  • I'm pretty new but have been playing a good amount the last couple weeks. I recall seeing a developer post (maybe?) that they are looking into ways to improve the bloodpoint grind but have nothing conclusive in the works. Have there been any mentions of making it so when you earn BPs, you could use your entire BP pool 2x - once for survivors and once for killers? Example: Earn 300K BPs

  • I think I’ve about reached my limit. I binged and try to push through this update but it’s getting to be too much. This is my first rift event and I wanted to go all out and win everything but it’s getting tough to push through as survivor. With all the de sync issues and millions of others I’m also encountering broken spawn points a lot too. The match will start, I wouldn’t even have moved yet,

  • So with the escape emblem broken, its a lot harder to rank up now. Before rank meant almost nothing bc everyone could get to red rank, but now its different. My experience the last days were that rank 5 and 6 survivor are better then before (compared to other rank resets). Bad players had most of the time a bad rank. Ranks matched better the skill of the survivors then before the bug. What is yo

  • I have 6 Chinese toolboxes in my inventory and I have been collecting more since then. I have gotten an extra 4 already but the inventory count isn't rising. I am fishing them from maps, not getting in bloodweb. Don't know if bug or intended, but it's a pretty lame ass bug or feature because I want to hoard event items.

  • Look, i have no Idea on how this works, so i ask you guys who maybe have a little bit more knowledge on that topic. The recent update broke many things, mostly for survivor but also for killer. We can agree that it wasnt a very good patch regarding fun in this game. In my head i am like "isnt there a back up file?" just reverse the update and work on it until its not game breaking anymore

  • At the start, I wanted to say: Treat this post more like a joke than serious perk ideas. After a long break I came back to dbd and I was surprised by the new perk Dragon’s Grip. The exposed effect can be triggered by more and more actions so why won't we get crazy today. Life for a Life Survivors who will successfully heal others survivor suffer Exposed status effect for 40/50/60 seconds. Du

  • ... Why that when it’s just myself and ( usually a Claudette ) left in a match, I go heal them, then they purposely drop a pallet and proceed to follow me once the killer comes!!!! Seriously?! I don’t understand this. If you - or anyone - doesn’t actually want to play then don’t! Why do you have to ruin the game for someone trying to get better and have fun? I don’t understand this.

  • You know why? Because prior to the patch my Survivor queues took 5 minutes. Today thanks tot he patch my queues are now instant , like they were 2 years ago. BHVR finally did something right after a long while. Thank you BHVR for improving my Survivor experience signficantly.

  • Chucky is one of the most popular killers. And i really wanna see him in Dead by Daylight. Could be an interesting killer. I know he is so small. This may be the hardest issue to add him to game. But he can be one of the silent killers. And he can be fastest killer. I have hope see Chucky as killer and Andy (teen version) as survivor. Playing as Chuck would be fun. What you guys thinking about

  • Im starting to see a large trend with unfair patches sided towards killers for example the autohaven survivor exploits were fixed in honestly a record speed (about 2-3 days), while bugs like the unthrowable pallet and unbreakable totem on coldwind haven't even been acknowledged by bhvr since they were added in the Twins Chapter

  • My current favorite underrated perk is repressed alliance. Most people don't think much of this perk but it can really save a generator in some situations. Since it is a counter to pop and ruin, which are often run so it feels useful in most matches. If the killer is coming to you and you know they have pop just use that and they can't do much without wasting time. Or if you need to go for a save

  • When you pick up a survivor, THAT'S when you can be flashlight stunned, using the flashlight for what how it was intended. And this way, lightborn isn't completely thrown away (although it seems I'm the only one that ever uses it, lol)

  • To be clear not every killer is meant but the ones i mean always rage they lose and wants everyone to know it´s always 100 % 4 man SWF with flashlight and DS,BT,unbreakable and old ooo. Calm the f*ck down. I read this so much in the after chat and even on this website, the last time i haven´t played solo was late 2018 because everyone i played with left the game.

  • I'm having a really hard time with this one right now. I'm not a great killer to begin with,, and I'm just trying to get the Adept achievements. It's almost impossible with how rampant toolboxes are from the event, and certain killers really have no form of gen slowdown, so nearly every match is over in minutes, typically before I can even get a third hook. Any tips on trying to get these? It's

People have provided a ton of proof that this is happening but get laughed at, go look for yourself theres even videos that show you how to use the cheats some people hide it well and others can't help but get impatient and pull you out of a locker while hiding in there with iron will after they hooked so

  • Personally for me, it's when the killer is so bad they resort to either slugging/facecamping while frantically shaking "no" at you. It never fails to make me chuckle.

  • In a lot of my matches lately the second I spawn in the Killer is nearby or right on top of me. I managed to catch a clip of the latest spawn point mayhem. Though I’ve had killers be even closer. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can barely move before the killer is on me most times lately. If you noticed he had a direct line of sight to me. Came right over. https://youtu.be/1

  • I’ve noticed that every Spirit player I’ve gone against has one thing in common, they all try to be as annoying as possible. Such as extreme tunnelling, hitting people on the hook over and over, slugging the last survivor and just following them around instead of hooking etc. I’ve noticed it more with Spirit than any other killer. What is it about Spirit that attracts these type of players? 🤔

  • Are the devs going to acknowledge how game breaking not being able to hear survivors or even the terror radius sometimes can be? It honestly should be one of their main focuses right now. I’m sure a lot more people would enjoy playing killer if footsteps weren’t completely silent and survivors didn’t go quiet after he getting hit even without iron will. Gotten to the point where I even run strido
