I’m a long-time Dead by Daylight player from South Africa, and I’d like to raise awareness about the severe latency issues we face due to the lack of a nearby server. Right now, we are routed to Europe, resulting in ping ranging from 180ms to 220ms — sometimes higher. This high latency makes precision-based gameplay extremely difficult, especially for survivors who rely on timing for vaults, s36 comments 1,301 views last activity

The recently announced perk changes do not address the problems with the perks at all. In the interest of keeping it short I'll give 3 examples: Vigil had fans at 20% even when it didn't linger. This perk will always have supporters. The problem was never that the value was too high, but that it had no downside. It would be way more high risk high reward if it applied to all status effects ins0 comments 60 views last activity

Hello! My and my brother are in a steam family and we both own copies of Dbd. We recently discovered by accident that when we use each other copies of the game, after leveling up a previously unowned character and obtaining their teachable perks, even when you loose access to the character, the perks stay. To explain it simply: 1.I used my brother's copy of the game to play Jason. 2.I levell7 comments 182 views last activity

Totems have been impossibly difficult to find on swamp maps (without a dedicated perk or a map specifically with a purple addon) forever, but now with the popularity of Hex builds, with Thrill hardly getting nerfed, and most of all Hex Jason being in the game, it makes the problem that much more obvious. Without a dedicated perk/build or a map with one specific addon, the survivors could literall7 comments 180 views last activity

Which Killer Lore would be good as a movie? I felt Legion would make a great movie, great Lore etc, but then the Hag offers a lot of good back ground and story what do you lot think? what well Killer would be good as a movie?6 comments 91 views last activity

Perks like Sprint Burst + Vigil are necessary to deal with top tier killers. Yet because the loud minority of killer players complained, this combo gets gutted despite killers like Ghoul still being in a laughably broken state over a year past his release. And no, the “nerfs” that Ghoul got were not significant and he is still way too strong for how easy he is to play. Why keep playing survivor?27 comments 710 views last activity

I'm 99% they are shadow nerfing her. Last updates, each time I'm playing the Nurse and teleporting. The teleportation feels slower than usual. Did you guys noticed anything?10 comments 451 views last activity

Some killers have outdated moris from a different time when dbd was in. Maybe some reanimations are in order? However give an option to switch between the new and old mori as well for those that like the old mori?9 comments 110 views last activity

Am I taking crazy pills here? The amount of pallets that spawn on this particular map is beyond ludicrous. I'm seeing pallets literally spawn within two meters of one another. Not a single unfilled tile. What is going on?13 comments 401 views last activity

title “hatch escapes” should have its own unique icon at the end game screen and in game. i know it doesnt sound like a big deal but psychologically it plays a huge part, it would mentally add a difference between “last survivor getting a free win” and “survivors who did all gens escaped through door” because they really are different.13 comments 232 views last activity

Sprint burst, thrill, and vigil are all getting confirmed nerfed finally. They just announced it the livestream. I’m hella excited, finally changing the boring ‘you don’t get to play’ perks.53 comments 3,557 views last activity

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I tried Artist today for the first time and I don't understand how she works. I have 3 birds I can play and shoot. If I hit them directly it injures them and when it goes through a object or is too far away it just swarms them. I don't understand the swarming. Why do I have 3 birds if I don't have enough time to use more then 1? I placed 2 birds, sw2 comments 51 views last activity

So I'm interested in figuring out what people's playstyles are for killer. Because we see a lot of players complain about how weak the killer roll is and I'm wondering if it might be down to people sticking to a certain playstyles. There are several things to look at, game approach: what is your opening strat and the general theme of your play? Do you tunnel? Slug? Chase focused? Stealth? Cre20 comments 401 views last activity

Ever since the most recent event has ended, playing dead by daylight feels like being a dwarf walking knee deep through mud. It genuinely feels like my not 3 year old PC tower just turned into a nintendo switch. I never had problems with my connection before but ever since the banquet ended I've been experiencing lag, rubber banding, ping spikes EVERY game. It's gotten to a point where survivors0 comments 31 views last activity

I am going to be honest. Hex thrill of the hunt was the problem. I'm glad they are hitting the actual problem rather then hitting every hex perk. Reminds me of a certain card game always hits everything but the key part of the combo. It is a step in the right direction and I'm glad the devs are at least trying to hit the problem rather then the mechanic itself10 comments 330 views last activity

The Pig has remained one of the weakest killers in Dead by daylight since her release. So as a P100 very dedicated Pig player I want to voice some changes that would help her out! The Pig: Crouch time has been decreased to 0.12 seconds (was 0.8 seconds) You gain the ability to use Ambush along with undetectable if the Pig is crouched for more than 1-seconds While The Pig is charging Ambush th8 comments 202 views last activity

He gets value no matter how you play him, his projectile is by far the best and easiest to use in the game with no cooldown, he has far too much map pressure, far too much chase power and he can get value out of damn near every single perk, Hex builds are cancerous on him, regression builds are cancer, chase builds are cancer, and the worst of it is that he has to do NO work for any of the reward7 comments 261 views last activity

Guys i’m really considering to main Yoichi (i’m at p13 rn), bur i wanted to ask like will he get cosmetics in the future or not? like what are your thoughts and expectations (if one of the devs is here pls give us the final answer) Cuz i’m really confused between making Yoichi, Jake, or Tapp p100 (i wanna choose one of these 3 to main) of these 3, i like Yoichi’s movement the most then Tapp the0 comments 20 views last activity

currently auras work off a proxy system, the closest aura will cover up any auras behind them. lets say you are playing as survivor with windows of opportunity and there is a survivor on the in dying state, the aura of the pallets will completely obscure the more important survivor aura behind it. Solution? Aura priority system. dying state survivors would have the highest priority with pallet2 comments 41 views last activity

As the title says, ping is way too much of a determining factor to skill / what a player is capable of, at the very least on the survivor side. At least on the killer side, even if you have 200ms it doesn't matter because the way it's coded will always favor you, but on the survivor side if you have anything above 40ms it starts getting noticeable. I for one am right in between all the coastal se3 comments 150 views last activity

It happens mostly at pallets when trying to drop them but you get m1’d through it, or when a survivor hops in a locker and you try and search it. For the pallet when healthy you usually vacuum stutter then keep running, or when injured and going down it’s super noticeably as you have a small seizure on the ground. For the lockers you usually have to spam the interact 4-6 times before it registe0 comments 30 views last activity

Many people explained why Vigil is problematic. Now it get's nerfed from 66% quicker recovery from almost every negative Status effect to 40% I would say a nerf is better then nothing but...why are we again just getting a stat change instead of a proper rework? Yeah it isn't as strong as before but it still doesn't fix why this perk is so broken. There5 comments 170 views last activity

So what do we think and expect? I personally think the killer mmr should be based on how long your avg chase lasts and avg time to hook a survivor They confirmed the kills wont be accounted anymore as the only or main thing in the game which is a big plus. I personally think they are adding the changes or some of them in the game that i suggested a year or two ago15 comments 890 views last activity

I played a match a little bit ago and I was running Inner Strength. So at one point when injured I stepped into a locker to heal. It was the one and only time I got into a locker the whole game. Apparently there was another survivor nearby that I hadn't seen. But shortly after I stepped into the locker I did notice a survivor that fast vaulted the window next to me twice. Of course he drew the ki25 comments 462 views last activity

Ive never really cared about survivors as they are just skins at the end of the day, never really cared to go in and look at their backstory or want to learn about them etc. Then Aurora, her design is awesome, she's the first survivor I'm actually interested in and am looking forward to learning more about her. 100% going to be my main from now on when she releases.

I noticed that for a while now here on the forum that most Discussions where the topic has something to do regarding the Killer side it always has like at least 2-10 Downvotes. I saw someone just asking if older killers that didn't got touched in a longer time (Artist for example) are planned to get some quality of life changes in the near future since the game changed a lot the past few months26 comments 790 views last activity

Lights Out and Chaos Shuffle, one of the most unique and fun game modes DBD cooked up. Lights Out going back to DBD's old roots and actually try to make it a scarier game. No Perks, no BS, no Terror Radius, nothing but a dark fog covering the entire map. Chaos Shuffle, gives killers and survivors random perks and addons that it feels like gambling for a specific loading out or perk you want,11 comments 2,557 views last activity

As above, what do you think of Diminishing Returns? Personally, for the most part I dislike it. There are so many perk synergies / combos that got nerfed and became unviable / a waste of perk slots, a lot of which really didn't need nerfing. Like if I want to waste all my perk slots on getting blazing fast heals with no chase/second chance/gen perks then damnit let me do that! The only thing I t33 comments 601 views last activity

For those unaware, a post from the creator of Marble Hornets, Troy Wagner, was made earlier today on Bluesky. As a childhood fan of Creepypasta's, Slenderman, and the Slenderverse, this is a pretty big disappointment to hear.

I would like to know why. Genuinely I don't think I've seen anyone actually explain it. It's not like bringing in Tokyo Ghoul means something like Naruto is coming, which really doesn't belong in dbd. They may both be anime, but they're on different planets entirely. Seriously though, why doesn't it belong in dbd? What are the actual reasons behind it?43 comments 1,281 views last activity

I would aim to teleport at a teleport position like a window thats right infront of me, see the preview jason vault through it, and the game sends me to some pallet or window outside of my field of view that I didnt even aim at, sometimes behind me or through several floors. Why does it do that? Also has anyone else been experiencing major lag since the event ended or is it just me because my pin1 comments 40 views last activity

TLDR: GIVE RIFT OUTFITS TO THE OGS WHO DON'T HAVE THEM Like this kind of shocks me that they said they were going to do this, then after a couple tomes/rifts they completely stopped. I know they mainly did this for lore and most characters still have had rift cosmetics at this point, but let's be real, there's no reason the same survivors need to be getting outfits over and over and over again3 comments 102 views last activity

Killer is in a simple permanent loop: Everything that works gets nerfed, you must pay to win on the latest not-nerfed content and everything else is screwed. The average survivor is insanely powerful compared to the average killer, with some specific paid killers being hilariously strong (And of course, nurse). Survivors have literally absurd amounts of chase-prolonging, ways to punish you, and4 comments 190 views last activity

I have been grinding DBD during the anniversary and playing the Black Banquet only because there are more bloodpoints to be had in the event mode. However, it gets so miserable. The little I played on killer I had a very difficult time getting kills with the all the event powers. When I used the poison a bunch it was somewhat manageable, but there was still a noticeable difference in balance. Whe34 comments 961 views last activity

as we know additional variants if maps were disabled. this included badham 2-5. PLEASE replace Badham 1 with Badham variation 4. 4 was MUCH more balanced than the others as it is the only variation with an isolated main building, also 4 is the map with the most reasonable gen spread of the 5. BADHAM 1 is ASS.2 comments 70 views last activity

I would really love to see some meta shake up. Some QoL changes like decluttering the bloodwebs. Some killer changes, perk changes. Some tweaks, some buffs maybe. Is anything coming?

I'm mostly a killer main and in almost some of my killer matches i end up going against toxic survivors or survivors who constantly tea bag, try to blind me with their flashlights, or say extremely hateful things in endgame chat, it gets on my nerves sometimes to the point where i just view myself as a bad killer player if every generator gets done, survivors escape and i either get one kill or n26 comments 361 views last activity

I wanna use filters to make the game look more like old DBD or horror, but I've heard I risk a ban if I do that, and if I get banned for this reason they won't unban me cuz it's a "use at your own risk" type thing.

I'd eaten 5 pallets just before this by the way.
