We've had enough of the high ping killers destroying the matchmaking system. It ruins the quality of your game. This need to be fixed ASAP. You're no longer a indie company. It's 2025. More than 9 years later and you still haven't changed 1 bit. What a disappointment.0 comments 31 views last activity

Now I'm not going to complain saying oh their over powered and blah blah I find their just a major double edged sword. You bring it and if the killer thinks smart they will know where it will spawn. Example: Played a match as huntress and a Haddie brought a offering for hatch to spawn at shack. I saw basement was in shack so I know it will spawn on the outside also following the layout of basemen3 comments 61 views last activity

I remember when MMR was first added how stressful my games of Killer were compared to Survivor since the matchmaking was a lot more precise with the MMR-ranges allowed within matchmaking. Overtime, BHVR has tweaked the matchmaking by reducing the MMR soft-cap so high MMR players could find matches faster and tweaked the MMR matchmaking range to be wider to allow for more relaxing Killer games an15 comments 1,484 views last activity

Skull Merchant is confirmed getting another rework and Trickster is getting changed too I think. I heard from a lot of people asking for a nemesis rework. Who do you think should be next for a rework?26 comments 413 views last activity

Would any of you like to have a map that is a graveyard? It would work so nicely with dracula, nemesis and zombies. It's made for horror.24 comments 332 views last activity

At least in solo queue, "Chaos Shuffle" isn't referring to the random perks lol its referring to the shuffle of teammates…This game mode really brings to light how (it feels) like majority of players are really unskilled/have no idea what they're doing…I can see why survivor has the bonus most of the time. Does anyone anyone else see this when solo queueing the game mode?1 comments 41 views last activity

Has anyone got their stats email and thought it was kinda incorrect? Here's mine As you can see it claims I played as Ace the most but that definitely doesn't seem right in 2024 as I cannot even remember the last time I played as him. I feel like the chosen survivor and killer are a complete overall not just for the year. Excuse the rest of the medio12 comments 261 views last activity

I really wished myers was enjoyable to play. He’s so iconic and a modern game that lets you play as him and although the stalking is cool and it does feel like him it’s so irritating that hold w is so effective on him and it gets old holding down the joystick on my controller especially how bubba who also insta downs people has slight movement and anti loop without needing to stalk.

Thrid edition for Chaos Shuffle and still the same. I faced against hard tunnel EVERY SINGLE MATCH AND u didnt nothing about this even after 2 editions every single player report this terrible style every match, congratulation. Nothing new, segregate MMR ( 2 modes online now), poor matches every single time. Another boring tome to play, ALWAYS we face it of the same challenges every event, and p26 comments 641 views last activity

Got off work Friday and just wanted to chill and game. I played 4 games. Slugged and bled out 4 minutes in all of them except 1 where the killer DC'd. Okay maybe tonight is not the night for DBD. Saturday morning hell yah gaming time. Same thing. Two games now slugged+bled out in both… Is slugging really this prevalent in Chaos Shuffle for everyone since killers know you won't have anti-slug1 comments 51 views last activity

Conclusion: The “October Curse” affected Dead by Daylight until the Halloween Event and Free to Play Weekend in 2022. Future Halloween Events increased traffic to the game and raised the player count. Traffic is naturally expected to cool once the school year begins and drifts into the holiday season.4 comments 101 views last activity

DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. I have played DbD since summer 2017 with Adrenaline sitting there for so long. Though I don't see it every round and it's been nerfed over the years, when Adrenaline comes into play it can literally kill the killer's game sometimes. Last chance for at least one kill near the end and then they have Adrenaline, healing the survivor and giving them a boost ahead. And that31 comments 541 views last activity

I think the stats are pretty off and I’m not talking about loading times and stuff that steam and Xbox count to their hours. I started playing on Xbox dbd on December of 2023 and got my first achievement 12/31/23 so I started playing in the beginning of the year so from 12/31/24 I am at devotion 5. Devotions are estimated to be 200-250 hours so in the low end I got 1000 hours through the year. X1 comments 81 views last activity

The language used to describe the upcoming personal statistics email implies that we are being shown "happy" statistics, or good-feel statistics similar to Spotify Wrapped. Does anyone think BHVR will be more stern and include statistics like "Number of Disconnections" or "Number of Deaths Within 60 Seconds" to force players to be aware they perform negative behaviors on the community?

I honestly want to know how a killer with 3 powers and all of them are strong is fair. Vecna has 4 spells but are balanced around it not being as good as its main power it was taken from (skeletons like artist, fly like blight/billy/oni) and then we have Dracula that has technically 3 chase powers that are all really strong. Hellfire is a easier to use punishment of the damned, wolf is like weske20 comments 472 views last activity

Bloodrush got reworked recently into an anti tunnel for exhaustion and it was a good rework but the perk still is barely used. A buff I would like is this: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Blood Rush activates for the next 60/70/80 seconds. While blood rush is active, press the active ability button 2 (so it doesn’t interfere with dh) to recover from ALL NEGATIVE status effects insta3 comments 101 views last activity

The reason being: Slugging the last person out of spite should not be a thing. Having this effect doesnt really add to anything it just ensures that the killer cannot simply slug forever.4 comments 71 views last activity

Honestly, most are likely inconvenient game crashes, but I think a few are too angry to die so they just DC when they are about to; I have learned that a lot over my years in DbD (I've played since summer 2017). Why not just take the bloodpoints?29 comments 482 views last activity

Conclusion: July tends to be a reliable, strong month for Dead by Daylight in terms of Steam player count. The only exceptions were caused by community reaction to DC penalty rule enforcement (2019), community burnout from the generator kick meta (2022) and game-breaking technical bugs caused by Unreal Engine 5 (2024).1 comments 61 views last activity

First it was changing skins, but now not even the daily rewards are automatic, you need to go through a few menus to claim them. I feel like everytime I come back to dbd after a taking a pause from the game the UI takes more and more clicks to do anything that I want. An user interface should be clean, simple and take as few steps as possible to do something.6 comments 81 views last activity

Hello there, everyone on the forums! I am a big Dead by Daylight super-fan. Dead by Daylight is a big part of my life. When I am not playing Dead by Daylight, I am watching Dead by Daylight YouTube videos or watching Dead by Daylight Twitch streamers. At this point in my life, I feel I have gained so much knowledge about Dead by Daylight development, lore, community controversies, meta-s, etc. t12 comments 472 views last activity

I was testing Marvel Rivals and I noticed that they have a system where if two characters with lore connections play on the same team, they get a slight buff. I was wondering how cool it would be to add that to DbD, now that the universe is expanding. You could have, for example, Sable and Mikaela do invocations 5% faster if they do it together, or if David gets a protections hit while injured fo2 comments 72 views last activity

The audio queue doesn't matter if the survivor knows the timing and with the split queue I'm getting Flashbang users EVERY SINGLE MATCH in normal queue. This thing is uncounterable even with walls and Franklin and sweep takes too much time. Do I have to put Lightborn in my build for every single game now?30 comments 451 views last activity

I dont know if bhvr Sees this But it would be nice if you guys could fix some cosmetics wich have Capes.

Killers are extending games by 5-10 mins by refusing to hook survivors. Having to sit there bleeding out waiting for the killer find the 4th or camp your body until the 4th comes to pick up is the dumbest and lamest gaming experience in the world! Seriously just hook me and let the last guy have a chance to escape through hatch, you absolute killer losers, stop ruing the game for everyone just be45 comments 961 views last activity

Now that ds has had time to settle since its buff last year and the immediate nerf after the buff, I just have a question. Was it really necessary to nerf the stun duration from 5 seconds to 4? I understand that 4 seconds is the base stun time of a survivor wiggles out or if the survivor gets flashlight/pallet saved but ds is supposed to be an anti tunnel perk that punishes the killer hard for go43 comments 1,232 views last activity

I was playing a match today as killer. I downed a survivor, was carrying him, and all of a sudden I got blinded with no sounds of flashbang drop or explosion. Are flashbang sounds still bugged? Didn’t BHVR say they fixed this in the latest patch notes?5 comments 82 views last activity

I am a big DBD fan and have been playing the game weekly on my Xbox for years now. DBD has grown with me, and I have grown with DBD. Playing on console, I never had access to NightLight or other statistic trackers. When I saw it was announced in an email that statistics were going to be released, my jaw dropped. I have been waiting in anticipation ever since it was announced. Playing a strategy7 comments 181 views last activity

they should make a chaos shuffle event offerings that would make your offering be either a: 100% bonus bp for all players and stacks (basically bps), random map offering, hatch at shack or main building, or a white ward that lets you keep the item you get from the event items. (Maybe could not include map offering since the game already randomizes the maps by default) Chaos Shuffle event items:1 comments 22 views last activity

Can be any changes you're really glad it's not in the game Here's mine: Never have been this angry over a change like this, one of if not the worst changes from last year given how much of a positive feedback she was given during the ptb And I am so glad nerfs she got were set back heavily and hope she doesn't12 comments 202 views last activity

I really hope not, the first time people just didn't bother learning the easy counterplay and got a already very bad killer nerfed but his original kit was bound to get changed eventually but regardless he was still gutted. The second time was similar to this time, people were saying he was strong and eventually he ended up having more nerfs than buffs or even QoL changes, now yes I can admit he6 comments 131 views last activity

Once upon a time I could play this game solo and have a great mix of good and bad games, even without being able to communicate. Now, I can't survive a single game in over 10 matches for tunneling, proxy camping hooks, lethal pursuer, increased hit box, and an inability to communicate with anyone in game. My friends used to play but they refuse to play anymore because of the same reasons. Once u26 comments 621 views last activity

I personally have like 5 types. Maps that favor the survivor side Maps that favor the killer side Balanced maps Maps that can go both ways Maps that I simply can't decide on Let's start with the first category Eyrie of Crows Despite their claims to have shrunk the map, it's honestly just a different shape.

Played against a streamer(killer) as a surv, 2v1 situation and im playing for hatch, after a while the streamer gets ask "yo the other surv is my friend, can you kill the other (me) surv and let him live?" and turns out they were friends and well, i get screwed because of an arbitrary streamer bias towards his chat, what an incredible and fair experience5 comments 271 views last activity

Between everyone being able to bring OtR, Styptics, DH, and BT if survivors actually realize all the endurance perks you can bring it can sometimes feel like you're not allowed to hit anybody and situations where survivors are just constantly bodyblocking and tanking hits for each other. I guess that's the real issue is endurance is good for stopping tunneling but when survivors realize how effec16 comments 331 views last activity

It's not exactly much of a secret that DBD matches frequently have one person who has zero intention of actually playing the game, matches get ruined by one ######### with a chip on his shoulder who either get found first, don't like the killer, don't like the perks, don't like the fact that their teammates weren't on gens for 0.5 seconds, I could keep going.
