I am pretty new to DBD with around 60 hours on the game, and a vast majority of them on killer. I've only started playing survivor in the past few days. Beforehand the rank system was not good for matches. As a rank 11 killer I'd get put up against red ranks every few games. With this new MMR system it is every game. I know what you're going to say, "I need to play more for my rank to be calibr5 comments 121 views last activity

Has something changed with Huntress projectiles, or am i just getting vpn abusers? I know she throws beach balls and can hit around corners, but 4 steps past the corner is a bit much to still be taking damage. I am still being hit after i crouch behind cover I am being hit after clearly dodging the hatchet and it is travelling the opposite direction to me.

...the killers in my games (on PS4) are either rank ones or new players. For example I just finished a game where there was a rank 17 Wraith with one perk, and they camped each hook they made while being cloaked. The rank one killer prior to that game however absolutely dominated because some of the survivors were clearly newer players as indicated by the perks they had available.

Billy felt really boring to me before the update, I played him for his adept and he turned out to be a boring mess that felt too easy to play, with half of his add-ons being borderline useless and the other half being borderline overpowered and little to no restrictions to his power. Now with this new overheat mechanic + no more charge/cooldown add-ons he feels like a reasonable challenge. His n1 comments 41 views last activity

Anyone that owns both Adam's new Herald of the Gods outfit and his OG Mid Length Locs and Fade headpiece (the one that wasn't on a rift), would you mind combining them and posting pics so I can see what they look like together? Please and thanks.1 comments 121 views last activity

A quick update function would be really good for the games health/custom addon tweaker/perk tweaker.If there was a way to quickly send patches out, on a fortnightly basis, in the way of just micro perk value shifts based on community polls and feedback, i feel like that would be super impactful in terms of game health. ie they hold a weekly poll of the most wanted perk buffs (in terms of number changes, not perk reworks) and then send them to the live servers a week later, to see if they work w0 comments 11 views last activity

Has anyone noticed that Huntress lullaby continues to build tokens even after it's been cleansed? I'm wondering if the effect still persists too because gens continue to be done very slowly even after it's been cleansed. Has anyone else experienced this or is this working as intended and the tokens still build without the effect taking place after it's been cleansed?

I think they should revisit the mori's of Trapper, Wraith & Billy. People are saying many thoughts about their moris's. Like Trapper mori would be, He puts a trap in front of the survivors face & stomps their face on trap & the trap grabs their face while Trapper is stomping them. Wraith's mori should be like, Survivor trying to search for him, then he bing bong in front of them &11 comments 91 views last activity

and this new patch makes me want to quit I legit haven't had any fun since the new match making system. It's just non-stop stomps. Teams are insanely imbalanced. I'm literally 5 minutes away from uninstalling and it makes me sad because before this patch I was having such a good time. And in case you're wondering. I've played about 40-50 matches with the new MMR system and they all h3 comments 41 views last activity

I know it's an MMR-like system now. I know it takes a while for things to get started. I know all of this. So why is the game putting me up against sweaty, try-hard red ranks as killer when I'm still green rank and don't play as often because the matchmaking was broken before and is even worse now? I mean why bother playing killer? I am red rank survivor as well and I feel bad every time I get a0 comments 31 views last activity

The waiting time is very long. It is much longer than the CS version. Killer side waits 10 minutes. Will it be fixed?0 comments 31 views last activity

if you come across nubbies in the trial, don't message ######### to them after. We all started off as noobs, we didnt jump into dbd at instant nurse marth level.

So when I started playing the game I missed out on blight nurse and that skin still isn't avaliable. So I wanted to know if we will ever be able to go back and earn those Keychains and special costumes. I'm willing to pay $10 for the extras path but we just have no way of accessing it. Do you think we could have reruns of those in the future for those that missed them?1 comments 51 views last activity

I played a couple of games now, both survivor and killer on the Pale Rose map, and there... just was no hatch. At all. traversed the map in all cases, and in one case the killer confirmed they didn't come across the hatch. What happened?4 comments 301 views last activity

To the point now where the only consistant perk in my build is BBQ for killers or WGLF as survivor. The meta is so stagnant and boring that I run terrible perks just to freshen up the experience. Ive been playing since 2017, and Ive never quite experienced burnout like I have recently Has anyone else been experiencing feelings like this?3 comments 51 views last activity

I know that you're gonna say that rank doesn't correlate to skill and bla bla bla, but it definitely correlates to experience, and these guys should absolutely NOT be playing with me, as they are just starting to play the game. This ruins the fun for them and for me.2 comments 41 views last activity

This is an honest question. With MMR being used to determine matches whats the point to ranks?6 comments 51 views last activity

Ok, let's completely ignore the previous 'Ranking' system for a second. Supposedly, "MMR has already been running in the background" (Almo) and "MMR has been tracking behind the scenes for a while." (MandyTalk) Even if this Rank 18 Killer with 2 Perks (that he starts out with) is so new that he has almost no MMR score for this new system to have kept27 comments 1,062 views last activity

I don't know why there was such a commotion about the original DS. They had it to where it was only used once per match only. Now with the nerf the killer just leaves you slugged until the timer goes down. I don't see why that's even necessary. Because you have killers that either facecamp or constantly tunnel. I feel like there needs to be a penalty for those who camp the hooks or tunnel. I play5 comments 81 views last activity

If possible the mmr system should use 2 measurements for match making to move players to where they should be faster by using 2 factors together Individual killer mmr ratings General killer mmr ratings This would mean that as you play one killer their mmr contributes a little to the general killer mmr making it so all killers have small increases to mmr and small losses to mmr by playing oth0 comments 11 views last activity

"Moderately increases the Chainsaw's rate of cooling when a flashlight is shining on you. (-5 charges/second)" ... Okay? How many times are we going to try to do the mini lightborn thing, huh? Do you still not get it? The effect it gives is useless too, now that overheat is so inconsequential.2 comments 211 views last activity

More people are experiencing errors than the developer thinks. But We're just waiting because of the word you're working on. I have no reason to play the game because of an error, and I can't even proceed with XP and archive. You have kept us waiting for two weeks even though you are aware of this, and we want compensation. Please fix it as soon as possible.6 comments 61 views last activity

I've noticed the last several days that scratchmarks spawn really inconsistently. I'll be chasing a survivor and even if I have them in my line of sight their scratchmark trail has weird gaps in it even though they didn't stop running.1 comments 31 views last activity

Was bubba's chainsaw duration increased and his tantrum duration decreased with his change? I feel like his chainsaw last forever now and when he runs into stuff he is almost immediately back on me. He's a lost stronger now and actually more fun to play because he feels like an actual threat.0 comments 31 views last activity

You will still be put up against stronger survivors in areas where killers aren't queuing up. I was just asked by my Brazilian friends to queue up with them and I, as a Red Ranked survivor in America get queued up with Red and Purple ranked killers got a Ranked 17 killer in Brazil. Since the implementation of MMR has been available, I have not once been paired with a brown ranked killer in Amer0 comments 41 views last activity

So as you guys all know, most licensed killers are eitger from TV shows or Movies (1 licensed game killer), what if we added more stuff, like let's say creepypastas (Nobody has to agree and before you jump out and say no, hear me out!) Creepypastas has been around the internet for a little while now, I don't say Slenderman should get in but what if devs did an idea about it?? Wonder if it could w2 comments 21 views last activity

In normal circumstances where the pig doesnt camp the box or tunnel you without downing. Have you actually died from her power. Unless your swf is gen rushing, I've never seen the power actually apply pressure and I've yet to get a kill with it despite now reaching prestige 3 pig. Should the trap be remade to activate based on the next down instead of gens?39 comments 1,011 views last activity

Why can I not hear gens on Haddonfield like I have to go right up to gens in houses to hear if they have progress you never had to do this before so why is it that now the gens in basements or in rooms of houses are impossible to hear unless you are in that room like when I went to the house with a gen in the basement I was by the stairs and heard no progress 2 seconds later it was finished3 comments 71 views last activity

Hey, it’s awesome to be on this forum it’s great to see the community doing so well. I’m new to playing killer and I was just wondering about a few things. Firstly veteran players if you were starting fresh today what are some things you wish you would have known? Also I was just curious is lunging worth it or is it a mistake? Thank you for your time guys!! FreeXpGaming7 comments 91 views last activity

Some here probably wonder, how the MMR might actually figure out how strong a player really is. Is there a way? Is the system just the same like before without the rank but rather with % of successful double / single pips? When you mow down all 4 survivors within 2 minutes, is this still a loose as it used to be or can we expect this to be a stomp now? How is the matchmaking knowing i played30 comments 581 views last activity

Since entitled survivors think there so good time to nerf them Speed boost given from receiving a hit is now reduced by 50% Throwing down a pallet take alot of energy so giving survivors the exhaustion status affect for 30 seconds Windows now get block after vaulting once so do pallets Healing speed reduced by 50% Bones now are a main objective can't leave without finding and destroying all39 comments 521 views last activity

I wasn’t alone, as soon as MMR was mentioned countless people said... it wouldn’t change anything, or if it did it would be worse because matchmaking would become totally random everything being hidden would mean they could just say whatever they want and we have no way to prove otherwise They won’t ever release how it works because MMR can’t work for a game like DBD that has so many factor2 comments 31 views last activity

So I've been testing this add-on, and you need TWO SAW to down a survivor at ANY GIVEN MOMENT, even when you are not breaking pallets, but from the add-on description below, it should only apply after I break a pallet, and only for 5sec, unless I don't understand English "Survivors hit with the Chainsaw within 5 seconds of breaking a Pallet or a Breakable Wall are only damaged for a single3 comments 81 views last activity

Devs, what's up? You basically did 3 changes to Hillbilly in the span of a few weeks(+Leatherface addons changes and only killer perk changes in the PTB) but you can't seem to be able to find time to fix some of the garbage survivor perks after they've been bad for years, not even the changes you announced like 6 months ago for perks like Any Means Necessarily, Vigil, etc. It's very refreshing t32 comments 571 views last activity

so i played my first game after this new update and the killer dc's as im about to exit and at the end of the match it showed everyone exited even tho non of us did. I didnt get to see if we got the points like if we exited without the dc but yeah I kindof like this.15 comments 271 views last activity

A meg did it to me and saved my life. If a survivor gets knocked just short of the exit, you can start healing the downed survivor to prevent them from being picked up. The killer has to smack you which gives the downed person enough time to leave.7 comments 131 views last activity

Hey all, i haven’t had a chance to log on yet today and download the new update. I didn’t see flashlights mentioned or the plague’s vomit angle in the patch update. Just wanted to ask in case I missed something. Thanks!11 comments 261 views last activity
