So I know it can be really annoying to be sent to a map you don't like. If I see an offering for Haddonfield or Badham, I pretty much just accept I'll lose. But GD, it love the Swamp. Swamp is the best map imo. It doesn't feel too killer or survivor sided, so I don't think it's toxic to use the offering. It's the only one I've ever used. I don't see Swamp too often in rotation anyway. But,11 comments 111 views last activity

To me it seems very obvious that playing against spirit is absolutely 0 fun. Majority of the matches I play when a spirit is in it someone either dc's or kills themselves first hook. Isn't this a big indicator that changes should be made to this killer? IMO killers should not only be fun to play, but fun to play against and if people are willing to take dc penalties and depips just to avoid39 comments 481 views last activity

I think it would be neat if you could see which platform crossplay players were playing on, instead of the generic crossplay logo. There could be an Xbox logo for Xbox, Playstation for PS4 or PS5, a Windows Store logo for Windows Store, Switch icon for Switch, Steam logo for Steam. What do you guys think?1 comments 21 views last activity

Since the bloodlustless weekend is over, are you paying more attention to when BL1 triggers in your matches? I'm about to fire up some DBD and try to be more aware of when BL1 kicks in.22 comments 531 views last activity

So i played a match on swamp. Nothing special at the beginning. I downed someone and let him on the ground bc he was on deathhook and 4 gens were remaining. Then after a minute i killed the second survivor. Searched for the last two but i couldnt find them. No gen was touched. I found the first guy and let him wiggle out, bc killing him after 3min of slugging would be not fair. After a while of18 comments 531 views last activity

I am asking because it seems like the results are very mixed from what I've been hearing from people now that Bloodlust is disabled. Maybe keeping tier 1 but removing 2 and 3 would be a better idea than removing the whole mechanic?34 comments 681 views last activity

As a killer main I can assure you bloodlust needs removed or fixed. Bloodlust is a minor speed increase that does nothing for decent killers because they’ll never even see it activate. Any decent killers will have someone downed in a maximum of 30 seconds which is the same time you need to get Bloodlust tier 2. That’s 2 hits in the same time it takes to give you 0.4 m speed. People who say “skill1 comments 101 views last activity

I've seen several people make the argument that removing bloodlust hurts new killers, but what about new survivors? You don't understand loops, you basically just hide, and if you do get to a pallet, the killer can just bloodlust that survivor around the pallet to force a down. Bloodlust is a hand holding killer mechanic that needs to go. This game requires snowballing as killer or survivor26 comments 451 views last activity

Don’t think I spelled that right, but seriously there are five maps at the preschool but are they different from each other at all? I’m seriously asking. The wiki for each one is identical and I have perceived no difference when playing them3 comments 41 views last activity

Well its been 4 years since this game came out and I think we would all appreciate some kind of new items. Only thing that has been added is firecracker which has been nerfed xd. I think we would all appreciate some kind of new items. And my next idea is that every survivor should have something special about him like killer... because when u are playing killer each has special power. But surviv1 comments 11 views last activity

Whats your opinion of perks which change the playstile of a player because they could be there? For example the existence of noed encourages survivor to waste time to cleanse dull totems or unbreakable lets killer slug less.15 comments 191 views last activity

I haven't played that much in the last few months, so I probably missed the one or other patch. I've been playing for a few days a bit more again, and I swear now I can't hear the footsteps of running survivors at all. Like before it was already really bad, but there were a few times were I was still able to hear footsteps a bit. Now there's absolutely nothing. Now the sound in this game has be0 comments 21 views last activity

How do you feel about the rift cosmetics you've earned being buyable? I earned nurse a year ago. through the god awful first tome.

Personally I like using dead hard, deliverance, decisive strike, and adrenaline. Most of the time i get tunneled so ds is a good perk for me to use. I use dead hard like this: the killer is chasing me, i run at them then use dead hard, they swing then i go to the nearest loop or they lose me in general. I run adrenaline because at end game if someone unhooks me i get healed and can run to the ne8 comments 61 views last activity

This may seem counterintuitive because there's less players, but console players almost exclusively play survivor (why survivor wait times are so long). PC players play more of a mix and I noticed that disabling crossplay actually makes finding a game as survivor significantly faster. That being said, if you want to play killer leave crossplay on and you will find a game instantly.31 comments 932 views last activity

Personally for me nothing has changed, i feel like it will only affect bad killers who overcommit to there chases which if you do that you will loose games as killer anyway. Im pretty confident it shouldnt affect killers who have basic knowledge on killer and when to let go of chases. even dowsey thinks bloodlust is dumb and should be removed, hasnt affected him at all either according to him.47 comments 862 views last activity

Cant actually ask this anywhere, no im not creating a twitter. but this is my question so devs, mods can you move it over to the right place etc. or just answer it in the Q&A lol. Reason for asking is ranks a joke and meaning nothing of skill, youll have rank 2 players not doing objectives and cant lead on chases. My suggestion cap altruism and escaping at gold medals, escaping through hatch1 comments 51 views last activity

Standard Build- Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer/BBQ Variation Build- Ruin/Undying/Surge/BBQ (Killers that down with an M1 only) This build is overkill most of the time with mediocre Survivors. But in the case you encounter some actually skilled players, this is what will give you a chance at winning on Killer.52 comments 1,681 views last activity

I've seen like 4 extremely obvious bait posts stay up and mods refuse to commit any action to them. Yet the mods here decide to arbitrarily move good posts to feedback to kill the good posts. These forums need better mods or better moderation directives. Idk which.10 comments 121 views last activity

Yeah im not saying this from a killer point of view but from a survivor point of view, im honestly just getting tired of loading into a match where players arent doing gens. like i dont expect everyone to be amazing but way too many people arent doing gen, at least i know a bot would do the objective... couldnt be worse than some of the players iv been seeing that cant do a chase or objectives.3 comments 41 views last activity

Every other killer in the game has an ability that can help be used to down survivors except Legion. His power to cause injury is great against bad survivors but against good survivors he's an easily loopable m1 killer. I ain't sure how to rework him though to get this his ability to down people without being to OP, anyone got any ideas ? 🤔10 comments 92 views last activity

Frank mixtape worst add on in the game. Come on even brown addons better then frank mix tape. My idea If Legion in feral frenzy hit 5 times, fifth stab immediately down survivor.

I enjoy this game a lot, I've played from very early on starting with ps4 to Xbox and finally PC where I started back up to recently. The game has evolved many times to fix and even add things to make itself better. Obviously there are many more things that can change for the better. I just have a few ideas off the top of my head to talk about. First- I feel like endgame chat should be a thing6 comments 61 views last activity

I had just joined a match as survivor when the game froze after a few seconds. Then the game completely closed and I had to restart it. When I got back on I was locked out of matchmaking. Not very fair to me for losing out on my items. This was on xbox. Also something is messed up with the making a new discussion the options are bugged.0 comments 1 views last activity

I've been seeing a lot of killer mains posting their annoyance about the lack of bloodlust this weekend and I only have one thing to say about that: If you are experiencing survivors escaping more often this weekend and feel no bloodlust is the issue, you're finally seeing the skill-gap those particular survivors have compared to you.

Instead of having Victor hold lockers closed to trap survivors, he should open the locker and climb in with them, and then there should be a sequence of cartoony sound effects that don't fit at all with DbD's theme while the locker bounces up and down and squishes and stretches, and then the survivor should burst out of the locker with Victor on their head. The cartoon sound effects are crucial,6 comments 191 views last activity

What’s the word on asking other survivors ranks in the lobby? Is it ok? Bad etiquette? Seems like behavior are quietly testing out their new matchmaking system again as I’m getting a lot of 17-19 rank team mates, I’m rank 4 and it’s putting me against rank 1 killers. In my opinion it generally makes for a bad experience for survivors and killer.14 comments 152 views last activity
