I have 2 stories(as killer): blood warden: I had a player complain to me how the timer of blood warden was “ too long”. I told that person to file a grievance for a nerf on the forums. They said they will. If you saw a blood warden grievance, that might’ve been me. xd lightborne: (believe it or not) I had grievances from a flashlight squad going: “zzzzzzz” in the post game chat; which I thou8 comments 91 views last activity

At the current moment there's 22 killers with various powers. But the devs have done similar powers Evil within similar to night shroud, wailing bell similar to yamaoka haunting, Chainsaw similar to Blood fury, not the same but similar. But there are some openings left a killer who can fly or climb walls. A killer who can disguise as survivors. So what openings are left?52 comments 681 views last activity

Lots of survs forget that the killer is a player too, not an npc. I play both sides and 100% agree that both roles should have fun. I don’t want to sound like a crybaby, but Jesus Christ. Killers just seem to have the most unnecessary nerfs/changes. Hoarder for example, got a nerf when the perk wasn’t good to begin with. To think that there’s players who genuinely thought hoarder needs a nerf blo41 comments 561 views last activity

Personally, I am a huge fan of the OoO changes. It was never a perk I liked running or playing against. But for those of you looking for old OoO value... run Mettle of Man with it. Once you're healed with 3 stacks, you'll have infinite wall hacks beyond 16m from the killer.2 comments 181 views last activity

Ok, sure the killer can still slug you to avoid it, but would you rather be hooked or slugged and picked up? Being slugged means that your team can come and pick you up and the new DS will still allow you to avoid a hook state even if you are slugged. Currently, DS allows you to have the protection of it even if you aren't being tunneled and while you work on objectives (generators and healing55 comments 711 views last activity

I guess I know why I can't play survivor since my only playtime is after 10pm 🤣 Santzuz - "Can you address the longer [survivor] queues during nighttime?" The biggest limiting factor in terms of DBD isn't actually the system, it's the lack of players. Throughout the day, the ratio of survior:killer fluctuates pretty wildly. In a perfect world, for every 4 survivors there'd be 1 killer, howe18 comments 411 views last activity

A lot of players use DS to counter tunneling, myself included, the thing is that most of the time it's used as a free escape, I've done things like that a few times too, go in for a risky unhook while the killer is near by, Why? because you have DS and know that you're going to escape the grab. Or we as players will just do objectives right in front of the killer knowing we have DS and agai50 comments 971 views last activity

Expect to see an increase in BT users because another downside that no one is realizing.. This essentially means that if a killer has 2 people hooked in the basement it's now a death trap for them. Survivor A goes down into the basement for the save but gets hit before unhooking; Survivor A saves Survivor B but then gets downed. Survivor B attempts to unhook Survivor C and then gets downed.

An eye for an eye. And good for balance. Survivor's who complained about Undying don't worry it's done. Killer's who comaplained about DS don't worry it's done. Just wish the devs did this more often to keep both sides happy.11 comments 171 views last activity

SWF itself isnt a bad thing, in fact it does make the game better as it allows you to play with friends. the matchmaking however is the problem. If you're in a SWF party it'll matchmake with the highest ranked survivor. this in tern means if your red rank with a rank 15+ in your party you will be put with a killer close to the rank 15 which ruins the game for the killer.

In the below picture I was standing (purple x) behind a dropped pallet in front of the killer. He turned and swung at the survivor behind him and hit the metal barrel marked with a green x. Look at that distance, somehow even though he was swinging in the wrong direction and we were separated by more than a pallet distance the swing downed me. Think about that, far away, wrong direction, solid ob10 comments 141 views last activity

This post was originally supposed to be about either Alert or Leader but seeing all those threads regarding DS, I've decided to make this one instead to show you that there are alternatives to anti-tunneling perks for yourself.

If the entity were to let him, which survivor would he pick? What part would he eat first? What dish would he make out of it? Lean meat like David? More marbled like ace or jane? We all know he likes chili, but maybe he occasionally craves a nice healthy liver from someone like nea or Jake. Heck maybe even a boozy liver out of ash or bill, idk how they'd7 comments 151 views last activity

I made a video, where I ranked the best exhaustion perks in Dead By Daylight. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb8siE-8oog Exhaustion is a status effect that prevents a survivor from using multiple sprint-inducing perks at the same time or in quick succession.

Man I am over it this evening. I turn off crossplay and have great ping no issues, turn it back on and its a spiky ######### storm. Are console connections really that crappy to completely ######### up lag time across the game, people teleporting, vanishing, ping spikes its just awful.

Bit of a rant (ish?) post I guess. Been having an awesome and fun time playing Survivor tonight, however I decided to play a game of Killer because Survivor Queues are quite slow in the evenings UK time. First off it gives me Azarov's Resting Place, a map I very much so dislike when playing killer, but hey-ho, it's RNG, i'll play it.

Being a big fan of the Halloween series except 3 and redemption just don't they will make you dumber having seen them, especially redemption its like a bad low budget fan flick that makes no sense and has some of the worst acting you'll ever see but I digress...

The oni chase music, menu music, p head's menu music, p head's terror radius music, the demo's chase music, the demo's terror radius music, and many other soundtracks all just sound so good. They all manage to keep the main DBD theme in the menu as well with some other elements to give each killer a feeling of uniqueness which I find very cool.

So, the fact that the proposed change to OOO is basically now anytime your aura's reveled to the Killer, their aura is revealed to you AND it just randomly shows your aura for a few seconds every so often actually now makes this a pretty balanced perk. That and I can see some serious synergies with it now. As someone's who's really wanting to become a game dev and is studying game design, I real21 comments 202 views last activity

Mostly a survivor main but I’m starting to dip my toes in killer. I honestly think survivors and killers need to play each other and understand really that both sides have it rough in the match but I digress. What killer instantly kills your morale and makes you want to quit when you face off against them? Personally for me it’s either the Doctor or Leatherface.

How to use DS as a toxic perk? Just run it, it's that easy right? Not really, in order to understand why the changes are without a doubt the best thing about this perk, you need to understand how to really make DS a toxic perk. So many people think running DS and Unbreakable together is the toxic format, but it really isn't the MOST toxic way you can run the two together. The absolute most toxic23 comments 152 views last activity

Why does his reel work so much faster when he backpedals? Is that not an intended mechanic? The reason I ask is it's impossible to break his chain if you're not near something but if he's not backpedaling, you have a chance of getting free.9 comments 231 views last activity

Hello, DBD players. I spent over 1k hours playing this game and I learned many cool things about the game mechanics. I made a video about things I learned in 1000 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOOxGKGw41c&t=118s Now I have 1300 hours in this game and still discovering new things :)0 comments 51 views last activity

I agree DS needed changing as it was easy to abuse in it's current state, however I do see some potential issues with the new way it will be implemented. In my eyes it seems that the new version of DS would only be able to be used if the killer tunnels instantly from being unhooked (so pretty much they were camping), but that's not the case nowadays killers proximity camp so you may get unhooked11 comments 172 views last activity

I've heard these posts saying it's dumb DS will deactivate if you're doing gens. Well guess what you're not getting tunneled if you're fixing a gen. Sorry you can't abuse you're precious crutch perk anymore. It'll still do it's job of scaring tunnelers. But what if they slug me. Did you people all lose your brains and forget about DS+UB? We all know you were running it before so stop complaing it2 comments 51 views last activity

You think survivor times will get short since DS can't get abused anymore and that'll give people a reason to not fear playing killer? Possibly.7 comments 91 views last activity

Why are y’all freaking out about this change so much? DS is now going to be solely used for just anti tunneling. I’ve heard people say that killers will be able to tunnel easily after this change. Umm, no that is not true. If killers tunnel off hook, then you’ll be able to use DS for its intended purpose. You can’t be tunneled if your working on gens. If you think killers should just let you work7 comments 81 views last activity

Each time a generator is completed, gain a token up to a maximum of five. I will try to make fire up useful towards the endgame by rewarding the killer for performing well throughout the trial.

For each token, gain a 5% increase to vaulting, picking up survivors, dropping survivors, break actions, and decreased missed weapon cooldown for misse1 comments 51 views last activity

DS is not an anti tunnel perk, if you believe that you are just bad at the game GGEZ and all that. DS is a second chance perk. It's another life state. Its important to understand that as a survivor, to know how to get the most of it. And as a killer, to know how to counter it. How do you counter DS? You tunnel. Its important to get their DS out of the way as fast as possible because it will6 comments 101 views last activity

I'm getting sick of nerf BBQ people all they say is killer clutch. A perk with 4 counters. I'm sick of people not going into further depth on why they say it is OP.

So, usual story: I 4K'd what I assume was a three person SWF and was rewarded with sweet, salty tears. In case anyone's wondering, I sure as hell did not camp or tunnel. I go out of my way to do neither of those things, but two of the survivors just swarmed the damn basement when I hooked one of them, I can't be expected to just ignore them all.

Hi guys, I dont play for so long and I just want to know how offerings, especially map offering are working? Do they increase the chance additional by x% or is it just 100% then? And If two survivors or more bring the same offering the killer can't do anything against it because they stack? Does the green hand offering only block one of them?

With the upcoming nerf I think I will start using OOO more and enjoy it in its current form while it's still around. I'm gonna miss a the things I used to do with this perk, so even though I haven't really been using it much lately I'm gonna dust it off and give it a nice loving run around the block before it gets retired to pasture.

We all know there are perks on both sides [Killer/survivor] That we as a community consider to be GOD TIER. Survivors have perks like [DS, BT, Iron will, Lithe] Killers have perks like [BBQ, Infectious Fright, Ruin, A Nurses Calling], The problem is there is so many perks that are flat out garbage. Tell me survivors, when was the last time you used perks like [Open handed, Diversion, Buckle up]6 comments 131 views last activity

This is something I've encountered sometimes playing killer and I'm never sure what the intentions are. I don't do this while playing survivor so I can't give my own experience from the opposite side.
