Well, I did say I left twitter, not the forums! Anyhoo, here goes Stats | October 2024 By Mandy Last Updated: 2:56 pm We’ve been flooded with requests for 2v8 data, so we’re happy to deliver! For starters, over seven million matches of 2v8 were played during the event period. (For context, this is a lot!) We’ve been hard at work on the second34 comments 1,542 views last activity

Between the slugging ,the tunneling, and all the other playstyles that inherently make dbd so much easier for killers,how is it that that this game is survivior sided? Did research and -the escape rate of iri-1 -swf-4 survivors is 48%,anything below this exponentially depletes the escape rate -the highest survivior escape streak is around 50-60, yet killer streaks with competent people get to90 comments 2,725 views last activity

High MMR at a killer who can't compete at that level has to single-handedly be one of the most exhausting experiences in Dead by Daylight. I've played 13 games in a row, of which 9 had map offerings used, and no joke, every single game had styptics or syringes in. Every. single. game. What makes it worse is these aren't even difficult to get in the bloodweb, at the higher levels they appear ever42 comments 791 views last activity

Is the entire selling point of chaos shuffle not "all perks whether they are in your arsenal or not at tier 3"? This would've taken literally 1 game to playtest and see it wasn't working properly3 comments 81 views last activity

I thought of a solution that could make killers scared of slugging, just like the anti camping system. The anti-camping system is flawed, but the fact it’s in the game has prevented killers face camping. So no matter what mechanic behaviour adds, having one in the game would reduce the amount of slugging that happens I propose that there would be a second recovery bar that you would fill after2 comments 51 views last activity

Hey I found a Bug on Garden of Joy which renders a Loop useless for Survivors. I made a Video on it on Youtube that I will link. I tested it out an dthat Tile spawns pretty often on this map so it could be abused in some situations. Also please keep in mind I am not High MMR so I understand that high MMR Survivors/Killers dont need this info since they dont play around this Tile Here is the1 comments 31 views last activity

The perk just isn't good enough to warrant a perk slot in your build. It has several flaws, for example your teammate can leave before the gen is finished, or they just won't come at all to work with you, or they prefer working alone and spread out to apply preassure to multiple gens in the match. I think it needs a complete rework, repair speed perks are a delicate thing, and I think if you buf5 comments 192 views last activity

DEEPL translation is used Management removed the simultaneous attack on the killer as a “problem” within the first week of the event. However, the survivor footprint disappearance bug, which had been reported numerous times since then and had a significant impact on the game, was not fixed after a week. Some may argue that since it is a bug, it is only natural that it takes time to find the ca0 comments 31 views last activity

I like both, but I just wanted to ask when and why were they changed? The old one sounded maybe a bit too like a tts bot, but I really liked it's glitchy effects, current one sound better, but the glitchiness isn't as good sounding, any ideas?5 comments 371 views last activity

As someone with over 127 days played in this game, never have I been this annoyed with Solo Que. I play solo que Survivor by far the most and honestly its gotten pretty annoying bad. So bad so the first time in 6 years I dont care to have all survivors and killers. Mind you I was red rank Survivor in my first two years. Don't know if just sweats play these days. But DBD is just done for me. Fr29 comments 761 views last activity

I keep getting targeted by the same weak-hearted individual over and over and nothing ever stops it. And the worst part is that I get penalized for it with an ever increasing matchmaking lock. Why can't you guys buy these hacks as new packages are released, dissect them and alter the system so they DO NOT work? Why is this not a systematic practice for you? You should be on these hack releases3 comments 81 views last activity

You know how some folks say survivors should have basekit Unbreakable or killers should have basekit old BBQ? Well, what perks do YOU think should be basekit? They can also be mechanics that do not currently exist as perks. Personally, I vouch for basekit Corrupt Intervention and Unbreakable. I think that survivors having access to one (1) instance of self pick-up would alleviate the slugging is47 comments 861 views last activity

As expected DBD has attempted to balance SWF communications by buffing all survivors, when are we getting what is what usually is expected of a multiplayer game with friends? Communications ! People are already using communications and the game can't be expected to be balanced for solo or communications as someone will always suffer a terrible game.27 comments 471 views last activity

So I was bored and wanted to troll and have so fun and decided to play blight but my only source of mobility would be his rush, basically mouse only game. Fun game survivors noticed I was trolling and we had fun. But u have to be kidding me cuz I got leaver penalty after the game cuz I didn't touch my keyboard you ppl can't be fr… how lazy can u be in designing an anti-afk mechanic that punishes3 comments 91 views last activity

Isn’t Putting something new on instant discount illegal in most places? yea it’s not real currency but it’s very clear that the intended price is 1080 why bother saying it was 1200 other then to make people think they’re getting a deal when they’re not at all.

Ya boi is now the newest member of the P100 Zarina club! It is now a dream come true, as I started maining this character back in May of 2023 and have enjoyed every second of her since.

Team Perks or perks that benefit the team over one's self, such as Kindred, For The People, or Leader (just to name a few), have been around for a really long time and normally (but not always) provide insane value where they are used IF they can be used. At the same time, Team Perks are only as strong as your team. Their effects can be insane… but they can also do nothing. The Survivor meta wh6 comments 101 views last activity

Been on a break from DBD for many months and back now seeing Knight was reworked. And also seen people having diffrent opinions about if he was buffed or nerfed, what is it? This guy Wolfe on youtube are on a 227 games win streak and said Knight is S-tier just that people don't understand how to play him. Now I guess any killer could be on a high win streak in the right hands but where would you10 comments 542 views last activity

I've been seeing a lot of posts about how the nerf to Distortion is problematic, or how Distortion has been "killed" or what have you, so I decided to test it out. I equipped Distortion for a good chunk of games, and tried to get a feel for how accessible tokens were and how much impact Distortion had on the trial. My conclusion, broadly, is that Distortion is still a good perk. It still does t117 comments 2,202 views last activity

For those who don't know, the Flesh Eater Courts are a playable faction in the tabletop wargame Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Their whole lore has a lot of depth but to summarise them they are cannibalistic Ghouls who are under a grand delusion that believe themselves to be Noble Knights with their way on viewing reality. Basically what if Pyro (Team Fortress 2) and Leatherface fused and formed an ar0 comments 13 views last activity

As you know , this perk will receive changes soon. However, I wanted to delve deeper into why Pharmacy receive changes. 1-Usage rate In update 6.1.0, Pharmacy has been changed, so that it will always guarantee you a green med-kit when you are injured when opening the chest. While the developers considered it a "Buff" it actually killed the perk identity and killed all synergy with Pharmacy an4 comments 111 views last activity

I feel like The Killers are a bit to much the same stat wise, so in order to help some weaker characters, I came up with the idea of attributes. These will help killers that struggle and some might stop op killer (nurse and sometimes blight) from being to oppressive with no kit nerfs. THESE ARE NOT ALL OF THEM Good Attributes: Brute: -25% stun time(half enduring)(Killers like Oni and Nemesis)1 comments 31 views last activity

I wanted to start out by saying that, in the end, there are really three different versions of Dead By Daylight, there's swf DBD, there solo DBD, and there's potato DBD. And each version has its own things going on and what you can and can't get away with. And you have to learn how to identify which version you're in and alter your gameplay accordingly. When you're starting out solo q DBD, you g1 comments 61 views last activity

I had some free time this morning and thought I’d play a few rounds of survivor… I played 6 games and EVERY single match was 4 slowdowns, tunnels, camps, and slugs at 5 gens… and then the last 2 survivors bled out and “humped” the entire time. 6 of 6, without fail (4 of 6 were Dracula). No wonder survivor bonus is at 200%! Is it always like that in the morning?? I play killer the vast majority4 comments 111 views last activity

Because I'm sure it will screw up normal game queue times like before. Since the first split up queues for normal and evt we realized that this game cannot handle this and 2v8 makes it way worse. One of these days the waiting was SO DAMN long in normal that I ended up matching with a professional surv squad just to show how long I've been waiting and we are talking about a evt with a modifier,32 comments 761 views last activity

Title. Inner strength heals you significantly faster and requires less to activate than moment (or less perks if you use appraisal). It doesn't work with second wind. In fact it breaks you before second wind can heal you so you spend +20 seconds to get the healing AND both perks deactivate. It should at least be 45 seconds if you don't want it to be a meme perk that only works on a chest12 comments 472 views last activity

Second Wind was never a good Perk, due to all the requirements it has to become active, but at least it had it's own niche, but ever since Resurgence got buffed, the Perk just doesn't have a place anymore to be honest. Please buff the Perk finally :(15 comments 382 views last activity

So I know a lot of people have asked for more moris for killers, such as a type of cosmetic you can equip, and since this is very likely to happen at some point I had an idea. What about an option to see the mori in first person the way the old moris worked, something about the up close and personal aspect I think would be a cool option.

Why do most survivors find it so hard to win in SOLOQ? Is it they're own lack of skill, perk choices, or because they are paired with "bad" teammates? What have I encountered? Well…I'll give you a number list but there is more to it. The game starts…… Survivors cleansing totems that are not lit for BP only.

Nothing else says pay to win like having a power to catch up to a survivor 2 seconds later after hitting them. With slow down / time wasters that constantly make them run around unlocking chests. With extremely large grab hit boxes that makes missing survivors actually hard to do with the attack.

Is it really the best move to use your toolbox charges at the beginning of the match? If you get caught first, the Killer can undo all your progress. There's the potential the Killer has FD though. I'm just curious, do you all use it as soon as the match starts? Do you wait until someone is in a chase? What is the best way to make sure your Toolbox was worth bringing?14 comments 271 views last activity

So I don't like Sable for the sole reason of her lore and cosmetic lore just makes her super unlikable. So I came up with an outfit not to long ago to at least give her a decent thing or a small redeeming quality. This outfit as nothing to do with her parents since clearly she hates them or anyone lore wise. Enjoy. New Home(cosmetic) Sable would see a black cat wander around her place.
