  • I'm rank 1 as a killer but today I have played since 10 am. But I just got survivors yellow rank.... Also, I take this opportunity to say thank you for the new killer and the map, they are perfect, only the map would be good if you can clarify it a bit because the fact that each Claudette map is invisible in some points is not fun or fair

  • The amount of games I've played when theres me and someone else working on a gen. The terror radius starts BUT the generator is about 3 seconds till its completed. Whilst you stay to work on the gen the other runs and hides, leaving you alone on a gen which will now take 6 seconds because its slower on your own. Eventually the killer is 3 meters from you and you are forced to run leaving th

  • Well, sometimes I sit on Youtube, listen to the PTB chase theme of Pyramid Head and I still ask myself why did they change it, the PTB version sounded so much better. @Peanits Was there a reason why you changed the chase music for Pyramid Head. You could at least put the PTB version for the Killer PoV like you did for Oni.

  • If the game is realistic Sensible moves (Killer): You are not suppose to walk faster than running, your movement speed is reduce by 50 %, you can press the power button to run with a 125/ 130/ 135% speed. Be scared ( survivor ) You are suppose to be scared, when you are in the killer terror radius, you crouch 150% faster and enter locker 200/ 250/ 300 % faster.

  • Why it even exists? It's really really useless. It doesn't counter anything, don't create, don't summon, don't help to do something, it's just a show off. There is just a scenerio where you can use it: "You got 3K, waiting for the hatch to open, closed it, and saw survivor opening exit gate. Exit gate opened. You down him and you realize: She had Decisive Strike, so the gate is open and he is

  • It would be nice to do SWF with friends that are on a different system and have the same progression on 2 systems. Also how will cross-progression work?

  • I truly believe bbq is only the best perk because you get double bloodpoints with it as well. If it didn't have the double bloodpoints I believe there to be better perks out there like thrilling, infectious, pgtw, discordance, and corrupt.

  • So I am a new player who started playing 1.5 months ago, I have maxed 3 survivors and have 2 killers on lvl 40. And I thought I post my feedback because it may be different as to what the veterans think. Maybe some of these things are wrong because I lack the experience but here it is: Positive : * Core gameplay loop is great - no, it's godlike. That's why the game is so much fun! * Pla

  • So, why as survivor i always get less points than Killer? Do i play less? Do i have less to do? If anything, playing as survivor is more stressful experience. I dont see any reason to get less rewards in bloodpoints. I will say even more - playing as survivor i got 2 fixed gens alone, 2 totems, saving few people from hooks, Killer didnt even know i exist to the very end, when only two of us left

  • How are we supposed to report people with no ability to get to someones profile on steam? BHVR has said they can't do anything without that information, so if we're being prevented from getting it does that mean we're not supposed to report stuff anymore?

  • flashlight can be very powerful but much like 80% of everything that exists in dbd it's highly situational and has perks and counters that make it unusable, flashlights aren't in a terrible spot but they aren't really worth bringing compared to medkits, keys, or toolboxes

  • So is this a thing now? Randomly lumping survs together with no metric to measure skill? I guess the only two groups that will play this game from now on are killers and SWFs, seeing how if this is the heralded MMR at work, you just killed solo survivor.

  • So this isn’t new keys have been a issue for a long time now so I made some changes that could happen to keys here’s my ideas when you go to unlock the hatch with any key it takes 5 secs to open the hatch. During those 5 secs you will get a very hard skillcheck if you succeed it the hatch will open for 30 secs but if you fail the key breaks. -broken key Can now unlock the hatch but only the u

  • I feel that the community has come around and now sees how OoO can be ultra strong used in coordination with a team. So much so that it utterly shuts down COMPLETELY killers like Hag, Trapper, Huntress, and many m1 killers. Even where it may seem a detriment say against Nurse, it can help you create distance forcing a Nurse to spend multiple blinks catching up to a survivor which can cost anywhe

  • Honestly until about 3PM CST I constantly get these types of games. More than likely due to the lack of killers at red ranks on at the time but I really cant wait for this new matchmaking system to happen. Like I want to keep playing but i don't want to ruin a new players experience with a situation like this :/ (Also before someone asks why I was using selfcare and blah blah blah. I was doing it

  • So the new mechanic where all survivors die if everyone is hooked and no one can get off was implemented to "not waste time" or whatever. Cool. So when are we going to address killers slugging people and waiting 2-3 minutes for them to bleed out. And not just slugging for the 4k. I'm talking about being the only one left, hatch closed, and the killer just sitting there watching me bleed out bec

  • Just played a game as Hag, completely destroyed the team, 5 gens left, 3 dead in 6 minutes, I closed the hatch, and the last one, managed to open the exit gate, and then teabagged me, and said ez afterwards, and that she won. Would you consider it a win, if it was you exiting in that way. Just curious, as I wouldn't. Have fun in the fog

  • I assume there is some sort of algorithm that determines map generation when there are no offerings played. I'm curious if there is something built in to that algorithm that makes certain maps much more likely for a time and then switches. I went 3 or 4 months without hardly ever seeing backwater swamp or Lery's. The past week if a map offering isn't played I am seeing one of those 2 in over half

  • Anyone else finding it very difficult to get tiers in the rift? I've found it difficult from the very start but i mostly put it down to being very occupied with college and work and not having much time to work to it. Now though I have neither and even though I've been playing so much more than usual (at the very very least an hour every day like teh devs recommend) it still take way too long to

  • Well..here's why I dont think it is..this killer thrives off making well timed pushes and getting the edge on the chase through her unknowns..her vaulting mind games are gone and her ability to collide on survivors is too..which I'm fine with (but seriously that vault is horrible just have her slow walk through the wall or something, much cooler) anyway...I dont think giving anything more than a

  • This is just my opinion. Not that it matters to most but i still want to know. Why is the 5s sprint burst that adrenaline gives an exception to the exhaustion status effect. I mean, i should still give the instant health state but if you're exhausted you souldn't get the longer sprint burst.

  • Am I the only one who MEH's at new content? There is no quality (anymore), the forced schedule of 4 DLCs per year and 3 perks per character are just pushing the quantity to high and leave quality behind. Same with rift, to many meh cosmetics and to many recolours.. Imo devs need to stop with this. They should tone down to 3 DLCs per year and see how quality increases. Bugs need to be attacked

  • not gonna lie, I really miss the red skill checks. Hitting greats was never more crucial. Nowadays, if I’m feeling lazy I’ll just go for the goods. Wish they’d come back for red ranks. Make staying there more of a challenge.

  • Yep you just can tell that by looking at matchmakings as a red rank survivor.There are red rank killers but rare for real.Everyone switches to survivor or just de-rank to gray-green ranks.I am rank 5 spirit main and face with rank 1-2 survivors all time and most of swf teams.Actually the red rank killers problem is SWF lol.It is unfair and frustrating.

  • With cross platform play coming I'm wondering if you will be able to import your character's settings from one platform to another? I've played on PS4 for two years grinding a little more each day. I have Prestiged level 3 all survivors which came with the game and bought tons of perks from the Shrine. All my characters are maxed out with every available perk. I recently got a PC which could ha

  • Wouldn't it be a lot smarter to show them after the loading screen so that people won't just leave the game because of a mori or a map they don't like? It would be such a simple change that would solve a problem that's been in this game since day 1.

  • I hear surveillance counters the terrible down side to trail of torment and turns off the yellow aura for survivors. I was wondering if this intended? I personally like it but at the same time the downside that shouldn't have been there in the first place. It needs 2 perk slots though and they probably should just get rid of the gen aura since it has a 60sec CD already. The arguement that survivo

  • This was an impossible game, couldn't catch people and when I did 2 gens had popped before I could hook. I almost lost without a single kill but they got cocky and I had blood warden and noed to turn the game around and at least get a 3k. Spent the whole game chasing never landing hits.

  • Truetalent is (in my opinion) the best player in dbd along with otzdarva. True streams dbd for 8 hours a day,and plays every killer to a very high level (besides the hag). Some months ago he did 2 experiments. 1: He did a full day of playing ghostface and claimed he was the third best killer in the game after spirit and nurse. 2: He did a full day of wraith and claimed he was the fourth best kill

  • So over the past few days I've seen a lot of posts about how killers are being toxic. Personally when I play killer I try my best to play as fair as possible, even when there isn't an obsession. However, sometimes I'm forced to use scummy tactics to turn the game back in my favour. These include tunneling the weakest link or proxy camping to get a survivor out of the game. I say this as someo

  • Lots of people complain about how the game "forces" them to play SWF (and I do SWF, too, on occasion), but I enjoy playing solo more. The stakes are higher (you can die in 1 hook if no one wants to rescue you), randomly bumping into the killer/other survivors has more weight/entertainment value, never knowing if someone else is finishing that generator while you're being chased can be pretty ten

If we do a quick math here; 800 exp for 1 fragment 10 fragments for 1 tier level of rift 62 to 70 is 8 tier levels 8 tier levels needs: 8 levels x 10 fragments each = 80 fragments 80 fragments needs: 800 exp x 80 fragments = 64000 exp 64000 exp / 500 exp = 128 games total (I've explain
