  • Right now, matchmaking is all over the place, and the devs haven't said anything about changing/fixing it. If the leaked patch notes hold true, ranks will be hidden from post game. So, seeing as, at the moment, ranks mean little with matchmaking, and knowing that nobody will be able to see anybody elses ranks, both before and after a match, does ranking even matter anymore?

  • While the Ruin changes still come at a terrible time in the game, Lerys is outstanding, and the Doc is much more smooth to play. All that needs to be done is a slight delay reduction after he uses shock therapy, and maybe some music tweaks. It 100% feels like it's missing something. Oni is also a good killer again now that he has his 90° turn back. The Ruin change in my eyes is the only bad t

  • No this suggestion is not being made as a "you nerfed this thus you must nerf this as revenge" I am suggesting this because the recent ruin changes allows for these changes to become possible. And i think it would be better for the game. Anyway... Hello all, Dirty Survivor Main here! Here is my idea to change toolboxes! Instead of toolboxes giving a flat bonus to repair speed, they will

  • So, many months have passed since the moment when the winners of the competition for the anniversary of the game were announced. And more than a month, when there was a stream of Q and A, where progress was shown.. We will not see the next month of this outfit, since we know all the skins that will be released in December. So then? January? February?

  • Besides all the negative feedback (justifies imo) I have to admit that the Lery's map is insane... In a positive way! I'm really impressed! The map design is very good, the colours are well picked (finally not super bright burning my eyes at night), super good high quality textures and it feels very well balanced even tho indoor maps tend to be killer sided. The loops aren't super safe like on b

  • I keep seeing people defend the Rujj nerf ad, “Devs are planning to adjust gen speed but they couldn’t do both at the same time.” What are you guys smoking and where can I get some? What gives you an indication they would make players hold M1 longer, supposedly that is sooo boring. If anything survivors want gens done quicker.

  • I used to be one of these nice killers who always thought that you can have fun as the killer without the need to ruin the survivors’ game with BS (OP) stuff. Now that Ruin is gone, and the devs and survivors mains clearly don’t give a damn about the killer’s fun (as you can see in the forum), so why should we care about their fun? I will replace Ruin with Noed and bring Moris whenever I feel l

  • Okay me and my friend were arguing whether the new ruin should be a hex or not, and I had a brilliant idea. He responded with an idea complete rework of the game. If you didn't catch that, the first idea I'll present is a buff of Hex perks in general. The second idea is a complete overhaul of perks as a whole. Idea 1: Hex Perks become weakened after being cleansed. So this idea comes from the f

  • I'll keep it short and sweet. The main point of this thread is to say that the underlying issue with the killer role is that it's the most stressful role in an asymmetrical horror game - not because of how strong a certain killer is, but rather how good survivors dictate how a game goes. Not to mention that the time it takes to pick up playing as a good survivor is not too long by itself, bu

  • Please can we have a perk that functions similar to Adam's rock throwing perk except it's literally Ash saying one of the lobby select quotes and the sound indicator is directly on his location of course or at least have his quotes used whenever he gets hit.

  • One change to a perk and they lose their minds and meanwhile the game lacks solid fps smooth gameplay without game breaking glitches like not being able to wiggle and survivors finding ways to get places killers cannot reach and the main part of the game is so busted and frustrating on both sides. The chase. Hitting and knowing it hits and knowing you got hit, the grabs the windows and pallets th

  • It's not even high risk high reward, more of legalized gambling, you really just roll the dice and hope it is a good enough spawn and no survivors just glance in the wrong direction to easily find it, the newer maps have better spawns at times but half of me thinks the devs keep the really stupid totem spots because newer players. Honestly balancing the game for new players is so veteran toxic, l

  • Before I start I want to make it clear for some people that I am not a survivor only player and I do not favor survivors over killers ,I play both sides equally. With this ruin change I was as shocked as most people because it didn’t make sense that the perk that killers need to have a good match got nerfed but, although this change may hurt some killers that relied on it , it will also show us

  • I always knew this game wasn’t balanced. I knew the devs were incompetent. But for real, how low can they go? How easy do they want survivors to have it? Why are they STILL balancing their game around rank 20s? I have played other games over the last few months where the skill ceiling & cap is MUCH higher than what you do in dbd (both roles). It really makes me wonder how bad at video games

  • Your ineptitude makes it look like you're trying to sabotage the game. And the players, especially to legion/nurse players. Just, delete the game, and don't let yourself get mad at a bad game. It's not worth it, bro. You don't need to buy a new monitor, like me, because the game and the devs are unfair to you.

  • It would really help the matchmaking and survivors want easy matches against killers anyway You can pick keys and purple toolboxes out of the match boxes easy and work as a team against one guy and yet the killer always gets nerfs ? Just make a bot already or have ghost matches with no killer at all.

  • Use only Static Blast to tier up survivors madness, but try not to let them hit T3. then play the game as an M1 killer while taking advantage of your hallucinations. Don't even attempt to use it as a tracking tool until there are only 2 survivors left in the match. Shock therapy is pointless now: If you catch a survivor in the open, you're better off hitting them than shocking. If you have th

  • I mostly play as a survivor, sometimes as a killer. I just played 4-5 matches as a survivor. It was boring, so boring that some survivors stopped doing gens and just kept teasing or following the killer when 1 gen was left. As a killer the same thing happened, survivors trying to find me hoping I would chasing them when 1 gen was left with 3-4 survivors alive. The few times the killer got a 3-4

I though I'd share my noob perspective on the changes if anyone cares, let's try and keep it polite and civil in here :) I can see the Killers are really really angry but from my noob survivor perspective these changes are much welcome. I just started playing this game having found in on xbox live game pass and I actually thought it was a compl

  • All of the reasons for nerfing ruin, that the devs have given are straight up lies or is wrong. so wrong in fact https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINyQWt4Db4 these were identified by 4 facts about ruin that was stated about the perk. "80% of red rank games had ruin in them." "45% of all games had ruin in them" because of how fast gens can go at the start of the game

  • Now that killers will have no real early game delay every toxic add on is fair game and if DBD is too die let it die in a rain of the most powerful add on's killers have. Insta down hatchets,mori's,insta saw billy,noed,tombstone myers,camping its all fair game now. With no game delay early this will happen and it will drive more players away

  • Nerf the Hillbilly. I assure you that the killer playerbase will drop to negative numbers if they nerf the hillbilly. He is the most balanced killer in the game, powerful but at the same time loopable as an m1 killer. He is the perfect killer and this game needs more killers with a high skill cap like him. Most of the people at red ranks, killers and survivors, love him. If you ever touch the h

  • Hello, I’m new to the forums as I just wanted to ask a question, why do killers face camp hooks? Even when I didn’t do anything to him, I don’t run any toxic perks or a flashlight as my team mates do yet I’m the one who gets face camped? All I did was do the gens and he messaged me calling me a toxic gen rusher? Maybe if he had of applied pressure before the exit gates were activated he wouldn’t

  • Ruin is bad Hex perk (like every late game hex perk that can be immediately seen. Ruin was supposed to be Hags perk, but it gives her no profit, instead its good on killers with good early pressure. Ruin was early game slower, now its late game slower, completly diferrent roles. Ruin is very strong, but then again, wrong role and bad as a Hex You just broke a crutch, the only thing that was

  • The new Ruin is a much better version of Surge. The only difference between Ruin and Surge is ruin is a hex perk. However, the cool down of Surge is more of a trade off than Ruin being a hex perk. Both perks regress generators, though Ruin does it to every generator on the map as long as the totem is up. Surge affects a 24 meter radius from a downed survivor with a basic attack and has a 40 secon

  • In light of the Ruin nerf, people have been talking a lot about map size. I'm going to talk about it again. I agree with changing Ruin. It's bad design, plain and simple. It punishes lesser players while being a minor annoyance to good players who can hit great skill checks all the time. HOWEVER, there's a simple reason why people run it at a high level. Even though good survivors can hit great

  • As a survivor, which killer do you loathe going up against the most? Freddy and the Pig are the two I hate. Freddy because you can't see which way he is coming at you, even when you hear the lullaby. He gets a free hit on you when he puts you to sleep because he's usually right on your ass as soon as he puts you under. With the Pig, it seems to be more a case of people who play her rather than

  • Yes ruin is obviously different than it was before but I think it is still viable just not mandatory. I think the majority of people are forming opinions before even seeing it in action. the devs have been coming out with other generator stalling perks lately that there are some replacement perks for ruin ready for their time to shine. I will say now that I am a survivor main, however I do play a

But no, they nerf balanced landing instead. And whats gonna happen when every game becomes a slug and camp game with noed. Survivors are gonna complain some more and killers will get nerfed again.

  • Devs said: Ruin is better for late game and ... what it really feels like is a perk crap, in general it has been very bad perk because its duration is 1-2 minutes, the big problem with this perk is that it is Very easy to find since the spawn of the totems are a joke. The new ruin is going to be that the killers without mobility are not played and we will only see billys, nurse, spirits with str

  • Title. Ruin is used as a small advantage in a game where it is a four versus one. Ruin is a perk where you have to learn to hit great skill checks, work through it, or find the totem.I play both sides a lot, and yes. Ruin is hard to new players, they'll have to figure out how to hit those skill checks, or find the totem. Maybe new players working with veterans wouldn't happen so much if the match
