In the quality of life roadmap in the phase 2 section, the devs mentioned they will be doing a map & key item rebalancing sometime from July - December. Since it will be a while until we see what these changes will consist of. What are your predictions/ideas for the balance for these items? I personally have no idea what to do with these items to make them compete with the other items like me20 comments 241 views last activity

A while back, the cypress mori was made basekit for all killers to use. While this was a harmless, QOL change that spiced up the end game, it really took a lot of the spice to moris away now that you see it every game. This also really made slugging for the 4k far more common, as it guarantees you'll get a nice way to end the match if you do so. Really kills your mood for the game when this ha23 comments 662 views last activity

Based on their stats the escape rate was 45%, which made it much more enjoyable than 1v4 as solo survivor. Then the devs decided to gut survivor classes and add bots which is another massive nerf. Why do the devs want the game to be so easy for killers when survivors are the majority of the playerbase?46 comments 1,071 views last activity

Does anyone else experience this? You are trying to vault a pallet or window while in chase but you end up picking up someone's left item from the floor making the killer hit you. I think you should be walking or stationary to pick up items.13 comments 211 views last activity

Hello! I'm a main Killer in DBD, and I'd like to know if there are any official "data" provided by BHVR that show the number of Survivors/Killers playing at any given moment for the following reason: As we all know, most people play Survivor—"or so they say." If I search for a match and leave the lobby three times in a row, the average wait time to find a game as a Survivor is between 9 to2 comments 141 views last activity

I’m not going to say EVERY time it is but a lot of the complainers in the community don’t take the time nor the effort to get better. I doubt the person saying “Killer is OP cause me and my team have lost 20 times in a row” or the “Survivors are OP cause they blew through all 5 gens before I could get one hook.” Will tell you that they were trying to get YouTube clips to show off how good they3 comments 71 views last activity

I have been playing wesker in 2v8 ever sense he came out but there are a lot of bugs that come with it, i have grabbed survivors just for them to somehow end up on my shoulders which should not be possible, along with that there also an issue were both me and the survivor i bound to will be frozen in time leaving me to just dc, at this point playing wesker in 2v8 there’s a 50/50 chance is okay or0 comments 32 views last activity

Which one do you think is better/gets more value in matches? Which one do you prefer? I personally prefer ds because it gives the killer more of a chance thinking they can hook you and wastes more time than just a weapon wipe and on hit burst like how otr is. But I personally think OTR is better since it lasts 20 seconds longer and can be used 2 times AND 66% of the perk stays active for the whol38 comments 641 views last activity

This round of 2v8 is full of exciting new features! Being carried by Wesker the whole match just because he hit you with his power Being carried by any killer the whole match because someone was late on a flashlight save Going against a Wesker with zero cooldown on his power for the always-enjoyable two-tap Anti-camp cages stay in place with a killer nearby And of course, the always excitin4 comments 101 views last activity

Once active you can delay the inevitable by a few more seconds but while this is happening why don't we encourage you to not touch a Gen, heal anyone or even heal yourself or this perks will be deactivated. Oh mind you, DS has a difficult skill check and although we know you are getting tunnelled if you fail that skill check then your DS perk slots is wasted...great Job.

Don't be a coward Play with Headphones so you can hear the gens that are being done. Do Gens as a priority, I am talking to you medics, Scouts and Escapist) If you are not doing Gens makes sure that you are being a distraction for those players doing Gens. Make vault noise far away from incomplete Generators so the killer can waste time looking for you. If you are a guide, start different g10 comments 503 views last activity

There are several Dead by Daylight survivor perks that can unintentionally work in the killer's favor, either by giving the killer more information, wasting the survivor’s time, or rewarding the killer for certain actions. Here are some notable examples: 1. Decisive Strike (DS) How it benefits the killer: Many killers will eat DS early and then freely tunnel the survivor afterward without worry18 comments 353 views last activity

The issue is map design, actually. The ability to ensure you go to a specific map itself quite literally is perfectly fine, in my opinion, there are many reasons to go to certain maps. Accessibility, or sending yourself to a map where you can see better, is something that some people tend to do, as the color schemes on some maps can be unfriendly to colorblind players.

Back when I heard that Clive Barker had regained the rights to Pinhead, I wondered how that would work with Pinhead being in DBD. Yes, I'm aware of the other thing that went on with Pinhead, but I think the development with Barkers rights is probably the more pressing of the two things. After all, it's his sandbox and he gets to decide who plays in it. I do respect that, though the idea of having4 comments 964 views last activity

When thinking about chapters we think of Jason, pennywise, candy man etc all horror icons.

Otz just released good video and I bet most players can learn a thing or two from it. So give it a try if you want to improve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbX0b8S9njQ You can try to ask here for additional tips against specific killer and I am sure either me or someone else will answer.0 comments 31 views last activity

For the past month or so, it seems like I’m getting a lot more cheaters in my lobbies than I used to. I am so sick of playing with cheaters. It makes the game soooo not fun when you see someone run way too fast and clip through walls, vault at max speed then run away with sprint burst and never get exhausted and do actions instantly when they think you can’t see them. Oh and the times they can j0 comments 32 views last activity

Saw on the DBD newsfeed that the first 4 old tomes will return starting this month, the community outfits aren’t included because you get those in the store for shards only. I know BHVR said the deep rift cosmetics will never return but do we think maybe there’s a chance they will return once they start bringing back those tomes???4 comments 521 views last activity

Here’s a more organized version of your write-up: The Illusion of Choice in DBD Perks In Dead by Daylight, survivors have the most conditional perks, creating an illusion of choice. Most survivor games follow a predictable pattern: Got tunneled? You should have brought Off the Record (OTR) or Decisive Strike (DS). Got slugged? You should have brought Unbreakable. Faced Doctor? You should hav2 comments 72 views last activity

well I’m mostly a killer main I do play survivor (at a low level for sure. I only play well when it’s me and my friend due to us coordinating and my love of Odzdarvas videos giving me knowledge on basic things.) My survivor style is mostly stealth due to me not being able to do much in chase due to my skill being less then favorable. However I do try and counteract the “stealth survivor hiding a2 comments 41 views last activity

Is dbd a game of hide and seek? Well I just came out of 10 match were I escaped twice. My blood points is so low, I can't say it's because I am bad at the game or the killers are too good. Something feels off. Yes 2 killers are engaged with one or two players at the time, what are the remaining survivors doing? They are not doing their jobs. Runners are hiding and not doing gens.

A couple years ago BHVR released some trivia/stats on the game, and included the maps with the highest and lowest escape rates. At the time, Midwich was the most killer sided map and Rancid Abattoir from Coldwind Farms as the most survivor sided. Having been keeping track of my own stats as a solo survivor main, and in my experience Midwich is one of the more survivor friendly maps. Of the las5 comments 471 views last activity

It seems that BHVR has settled in adding 3 new killers per iteration of 2v8. Also, it seems that they have been adding mainly killers that are very popular or that are simple in design and don't require much adjustments. If they want to be fair, they could add 2 simple chase killers and one more complex macro killer. Based on that, if I were to guess the next killers, it would be: Oni: Very pop29 comments 1,201 views last activity

In this post I will not discuss aspects that would affect the quality of gameplay, game balancing, abilities, perks, or items since these topics are sensitive and very difficult and often provoke many reactions. Instead, I will present a few feature ideas that I personally needed at one point and find very useful.

Let me explain further. I doubt Frank Stone deluxe in order to get rewards for it , since I'm saving up points for the next chapter. Instead of the Frank Stone game being normal, it needs me to connect my PS account to a BhvR account. My PS is linked to an BhvR account I do not own or know and has prevented me from getting any rewards at all, taking 50 dollars from me :(. If there's anyway you ca0 comments 2 views last activity

Apollyon would make SUCH a good Knight legendary. Especially if she had voice lines too.

Is it because I’m being put with low ranks or do people just not pay attention to the HUD? I keep being either left to go to struggle state or left to die as people just stay on gens or stand there healing in groups of 4.

Hi, I have a question. I’m planning to buy a magnetic keyboard, and I want to know if using it to play Dead by Daylight could result in a ban, like in the case of CS:GO .

I doubt there will be a point where survivors and killers are satisfied. No matter what there always is "tunneling is toxic" "slugging is toxic" "genrushing is toxic" everything is bad for both sides. Constant war of who gets what and who will get more changes. "Game is killer sided" "Game is survivor sided" and so on until one side gets a change and then the other side will cry and it doesnt sto26 comments 711 views last activity

Pretty much just the title, but to elaborate a little bit— when people talk about the state of slugging in the game, one of the things you'll see brought up in passing is the notion that hooks themselves are weak now, and not worth going for. What I find curious about this argument is that very few people really attempt to explain it- they just skip straight to slugging being strong because of th7 comments 281 views last activity

Not a nerf as that can screw her up dearly but a change with hit validation and her. Every other killer hit validation works...sorta it's not perfect but it seems to make sense but Nurse has the problem of nonsensical hit validation due to her power. Since she teleports and the killer can swing and hit me on their screen but I'm getting hit before she even appears which makes no sense to me due t2 comments 71 views last activity

One Perspective- I feel like when you're stuck in a match where people are cleansing totems and opening chests while someone is about to go into the second hook status, it's tempting not to struggle and just let the Entity take you. Another =Perspective- At what point does slugging for the 4K count as using the game's mechanics to hold people hostage? Killing yourself on the hook could have15 comments 521 views last activity
