Hi. Is anyone else getting Error Code 14 when they try to boot up the game? I’ve been getting it ever since I updated windows. I’ve searched far and wide and I’ve yet to find a solution that’s not temporary.0 comments 11 views last activity

I'd appreciate it if the community gave me some insight into the appeal of playing survivor. I'm curious. 🤓42 comments 452 views last activity

I'm pretty much used to spirit and how to play against her at loops. Although I have to guess a little when shes phasing, there r plenty of things I can do to avoid her in chase. I'm an advid iron will user so this can come off as biased since I use her counter many times I end up playing against her. EVen without it tho I can counterplay at loops However with the other 2 I honestly just find th7 comments 211 views last activity

Now that cross-play is becoming a thing, I’ve got an idea for in-game communication. I think survivors should be able to talk via their mics as long as they are close enough. I doubt the Entity would allow walkie-talkies in her realm, so having to be in close proximity to communicate with others makes sense. To make the communication mechanic a bit more challenging, the killer could hear the surv4 comments 41 views last activity

I’m so tired of getting downed while I’m dead harding away from a basic and yet I still get downed and exhausted. btw this ain’t even in laggy games. My ping is ranges from 40-60 when I join a killers lobby. So why am I still going down?4 comments 41 views last activity

Breakdown is a experience why you don't know how fun it is till you use it Seriously it feels like jesus coming out the lazorous pits... No wonder it's a Jeff perk. So where does breakdown shine Well I've got the perfect scenario.

Not that i have complaints, but its already 9 am and im still rank 3, why? The rank reset should be every month on the 13th, no? Am I missing something, or its just a bug?3 comments 71 views last activity

I’m honestly getting bored of seeing the same perks for killer and survivor over and over again, and when you want to try something new you realize it sucks because it’s not good. The devs need to do a heavy perk balancing update for some really bad perks. If they buff perks to be actually viable maybe the Meta will change from seeing DS , UB , BT , SB, IW and we will see a variety of different p5 comments 31 views last activity

So, now the mmr is deactivated but switching killers is not possible... I can understand that the devs lock killers if every killer has his own rating, but this lock is one of the biggest disadvantage of this mmr: It doesn’t make sense for a killer to see the survivor lobby if he can’t react on these, he only can dodge the lobby... there are so many reasons to switch the killer: see flashligh0 comments 41 views last activity

Okay I am about to suicide on every hook for the next 20 games. I'm about an inch close. One more insanely out matched game and that's what I am considering. On one hand I feel bad for my team to do that but on the other -I'm not exactly much use to them if I'm playing at the wrong level for me anyway. so.... Thoughts?

Anyone else think that, whenever a new chapter drops, that week, at least one of the teachables from the previous killer and survivor should show up in the shrine? I this would help with the possibility of potentially new Meta perks still being available without being locked behind a paywall1 comments 21 views last activity

Posting screenshots showing the ranks of the players in your match is meaningless. Ranks as you know them are no longer used in matchmaking and will be replaced with something else in the distant future. Ignore your ranks if you're talking about MMR and matchmaking. Put your focus on how the match felt first and foremost. Ideally start worrying if nothing feels different after 10+ matches147 comments 12,541 views last activity

Why is that a thing? Why is killer subjected to kicking a gen for ten seconds but a survivor can cancel that kick in the killers face by touching the gen and running away? My suggestion the moment you get on a regressing gen get a skillcheck that if you miss it (or get off it) you automatically regress the gen 2-5 percent. I know thats overcharge in a nutshell but gen tapping seriously shouldn't53 comments 2,951 views last activity

I just wanted to take some time and say thank you for your great work. You are running fun and addictive, sometimes frustrating, but one of the best on-line games in 2020. Thank you for listening to the community, your desire to make a better matchmaking and your readiness to rollback the change based of the negative community feedback. Thank you for making the changes and adding new killers0 comments 31 views last activity

I usually play PH or Doctor, and sometimes i find myself in the 3-gen moment when the 3 are nearby, but there are 4 or 3 survivors left. If i chase down a single one, the rest will finish a gen, if i stop chasing and disengage they will heal. If i slug, they will wait till he self heals to 99 and have a healed survivor pick him up when i'm not there. It usually happens with survivors going 1-3/13 comments 191 views last activity

So I was thinking about who would be next in line to be featured in the rift. And I realized that each featured character has a backstory you can unlock. I noticed Feng didn’t have a backstory to unlock. Does this mean Feng might get featured in the next rift?2 comments 51 views last activity

One of the issues I have noticed in dbd is how fast it deteriorates your controller/keyboards and I really hate it. So I want to see how this could work by changing the second stage to work almost EXACTLY like second stage in cages WHILE still keeping the idea of the survivor doing something to keep them active during it. When a survivor enters the second stage of struggle, you will get a23 comments 181 views last activity

I'm fairly new so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but... Okay let's be real leveling up characters is a chore... Not to mention you constantly get flooded with stuff that never gets touched...So why not have a recycle system for offerings, items & add-ons? Character progression isn't tied to monetization in this game soo shouldn't be a bad return...In Bloodpoints of course Common:7 comments 61 views last activity

Ive got an idea for a killer. The Marionette, could do one of a few of things, or maybe pick like Freddy can. First it could have charges for its ability, for each charge, it breaks a piece of itself off on a generator and locks the generator down, until a survivor can remove the piece, or after a certain amount of time, this could help counter genrushing, also, maybe the ability to teleport t1 comments 11 views last activity

As the title states, would you like/want any of the classic monsters to join and if so which one? I'd personally love Gillman to be added and, more specifically, his look to be much more like the Monster Squad's Gillman then the classic one. There was always something so cool and badass about that version to me. I also wanted to say if this discussion is in the wrong place, I'm sorry, feel free40 comments 962 views last activity

The devs needed to be more upfront about how the MMR actually ranked games. For example, what does the MMR consider a win? How does it define skill? And while it is easier to get to rank 1 as a survivor since you're working as a team, it's much harder to get to rank 1 as a killer since it takes a lot more skill. And going up against a rank 1 killer as a newer player was happening far too often un17 comments 231 views last activity

I feel like MMR can work but it would need to be reworked for killer categories Set up killers like Hag/Trapper/Demo would share the same MMR due to sharing similar skills sets but don't share it with stealth killers like Wraith/Michael/Ghost Face/Pig. So I'd say the MMR categories should be: Set up: Hag/Trapper/Demo Chaser: Leather Face/Legion/Doctor/Spirit/Clown/Freddy/Pyramid Head. Stealt3 comments 51 views last activity

With MMR being turned off, it seems as though the team have recognized that the MMR system failed in some aspect. Is there any chance in the DBD team sharing what went wrong with it? Was it a numbers problem? Was it the individual MMR per killer? Was the whole thing just flawed from the beginning? What was the reason it didn't go over so well? Also, will it be coming back after more work is done7 comments 61 views last activity

I've been playing this game since release and the one thing I've noticed is the evolution of how killers and survivors can pip. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy the grind to rank one a lot but there are some games where I put my all into it and have fun in the process and barely safety pip. I am speaking of course about the killer side of pipping. On the other hand, as a survivor I do practically0 comments 31 views last activity

1 generator start to finish - 80 seconds - 1250 points. Average another 300 for skill checks - 1550 points. That's less than 20 points per second for what should be the primary objective for a survivor. 1 totem - 14 seconds - 1000 points or 1500 if hexed. That's over 71 points or over 107 points per second depending. Hook removal - say an average of 10 seconds by the time you factor running to26 comments 282 views last activity

In case you forgot... -People can play what they want. Just because they don't pick perks that are on-meta or in your loadout, doesn't mean that they are throwing. -Killers can let you find the hatch, or kill you. -Survivors, you can loop to your heart's content. -Perks are meant to be used. There are broken perks on both sides. The trick is not to enable not just one side to have broken p0 comments 31 views last activity

If the game had a better ranking system and rank rewards would MMR even be necessary? This isnt meant as a negative criticism of the devs - in fact i'm thrilled they were willing to take a step back to reassess the situation - even after funneling countless hours into trying something new. My question is just this: Is something new needed if we just fix whats broken? Rank rewards have been requ6 comments 92 views last activity

Okay, so... I've played DbD for about two years now. From day one I always talked about how hard the community is on the devs. I always tell people that BHVR is a small company and we need to cut them some slack, etc. I still feel this way to this day. HOWEVER... It is REALLY hard to keep siding with the devs when the only thing we get, no matter how many or how severe the bugs, is, "we are lo15 comments 341 views last activity

This has been the only time I've had fun and not been stressed as a killer. Every game with MMR off is a bunch of sweaty red rank toxic ######### swf's. Get your ######### together and pick a good matchmaking system. It's unplayable as killer vs red rank swf's, especially with a less than stellar killer like Pig.11 comments 291 views last activity

I'm done being nice to this community. This place is filled with "killer op" "survivors op" "nurf this" "nurf that" If you're a casual who thinks this game is balanced and or think killer is the power role, you obviously have less than 500 hours in the game. So go somewhere else and let the players with 1k or more hours talk about balance. People with 100 hours complaining about nurse being op.11 comments 221 views last activity
