  • I've read the description of the perk as well as in the patch notes, and I can't tell if the stacks remain after the obsession dies. It only states that you gain stacks as long as the obsession is alive. I haven't personally gone against anyone using Dying Light as survivor, so I can't really tell if it does or doesn't.

  • I got the game about 6 months ago, and when i bought it, i enjoyed the gane for awhile, then i burned out on it really quickly. I just wanted to know if anyone else really has this sort of burnout, how long are those periods and how do you avoid it?

  • I haven't seen anyone mention this but the offerings look so different now. They look like the lines have gotten thinner. I prefer the old offerings tbh.

  • I think it's pretty clear that the reason for developers making ######### perks is because they stack, which could easily break the game. That's especially noticeable on the killer side, where perks like Surge, Dying Light or Huntress Lullaby are purposefully made garbage, as to not break the game when stacked. On the survivor side this problem is non existent, since Exhaustion perks are the only

  • Ive seen cosmetics like legacy and the hound huntress mask, and was wondering if there are gonna be anymore exclusive cosmetics like these in the future.

  • This is my biggest problem with the game at the moment, every other match i get atleast one survivor rage quit (as killer and survivor this messes the whole match up) my question is this. Why do we not have a punishment system for players who pause the game and hit the "quit" button in the middle of match. You should have to play a certain amount of low priority games or something to get back to

  • So how often are you getting body blocked in the one man gen room on Hawkins? Honestly this room in particular seems to just be one giant troll On that note if you have https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/d8rltb/it_keeps_getting_worse/ Here is some justice

  • After reading endless posts complaining about game balance I've thought of a new idea that I think could work. What if each individual survivor's objective action base speed was adjusted each match based upon relation to the killer's rank. Here's my thought. Base speed could be +/- 3% per ranking tier disparity relative to killer rank. Here are some examples: 1. Red rank killer - Red rank surv

  • I have a very small group of friends who casually play this game. They are potatoes. If they go beyond rank 15, it's a celebration. Then there's me. I'm also a potato, but play the game often enough to know the different knicks and knacks. I reach red ranks quickly. Nedless to say, the new matchmaking makes SWF a no-go zone for us. Before you jump your guns, I'm not saying the new match-making

  • I think this should go in suggestions in feedback, but something sounds like it should go into this forum. I know people can hit skillchecks, but what if when your at red ranks, skillchecks are smaller. at white ranks they are bigger. then the question pops up. "what if high rank people go to lower ranks so they can hit the skillcheck for ruin?" They need to make a reason to stay at red ranks

  • Recently, the Hallowed Blight offering was changed so that it had the generic rinse and repeat feature of doing generators and hooking Survivors for the tokens required to purchase the cosmetics that will come with the Hallowed Blight DLC. In my opinion, I honestly see this as very...Lazy..? Now, don’t get me wrong, the last Hallowed Blight was awful in the sense that you had to focus on doing

  • I'm just playing Leatherface with Insidious, Agitation, Mad Grit and Iron Grasp, all the Survivors come over to that spot and I wait with my Carburetor Tuning Guide with the Primer Bulb, walk up to them with my insta charge chainsaw and down them both, hook the one that was hooked and restart the process again and again?

  • Just unhooked another survivor with Freddy closing in. He then stood still there for a moment, then smacked her down again. BT doesn't work on him anymore? All-Freddy perks + NOED + Kid's drawing, but we hadn't even fixed all generators yet.

  • Hello, I made an account solely to ask this question. Since yesterdays 3.2.1 patch, anytime that I play Killer I am getting at least 2, but usually 3 survivors disconnecting from each match. In the post chat I try to talk with the remaining survivor since they are usually in a SWF with someone else and almost always they say that the game dropped them and that they didnt DC on purpose. This ha

  • As quoted from the news thread: "some Chapters ARE unavailable? You are right. The Leatherface and The Nightmare on Elm Street aren't available on Switch. The perks that would be coming with the chapters are included in the base perk pool." Are these chapters unavailable due to a licensing matter or hardware limitations of the Switch? I am guessing the dream world is quite graphically demand

  • It fixed killer lobbys :) but now players say survivor lobbys takes 10 mins to find a match really it's 10 mins:) it's not that bad at all:) just for waiting 10 mins it's not that long. I really don't understand players when they fix one thing then they complain about another thing-:(

  • Basically the title. I have DBD on all platforms except mobile. And have been enjoying it on the Switch since it came out yesterday. However, while everything else thankfully saves, my rank will always get reset back to 20 upon each start up. Not sure if this is only happening to me or everyone else too. Figured I'd try to figure that out here.

And a link to Reddit, where had already discussed a similar topic, but the developers apparently did not view it. https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/86ih8h/bring_back_the_old_pallet_breaking_animation/ Alpha animations.gif New broken a

  • Played my first match today as survivor and we all finished the generators This Steve runs to one of the gates and gets trapped (haha) But the exit gates are super close to each other, and when I saw that the Steve got trapped I turned around and saw nobody at that other exit gate. The Steve was left nearby one of the exit gates, while I see the door just randomly opens only seconds after the

  • I had a game where me and my friend where waiting at the opened exit gate to make sure we can hopefully save 2 randoms with the endgame timer counting down. As it was a quarter of the way till death. The game decided to kill us when we still had the timer counting down. Has anyone else experienced this? The entire match was confused why it set off early, all 4 of us were killed.

  • Swf is bugged beyond belief atm not only are que times ridiculous long, when you do find a match and killer leaves you get glitched lobby, to where you have close app down restart game, this also happens after a match at less one person has to close game down cause it glitches the party so right now swf (ps4) is bugged to high hell.

  • This post only applies for the new players on Switch, not returning players from other platforms. If you are encountering a lot of frustration not being able to escape a lot, not getting many kills or getting killed quickly please do not be put off sticking with the game and maybe thinking you have wasted your money. Once the rank system is working you will have much fairer matches than you curr

  • Post what Killer you use the most often, and when enough people post then I will make a graph on the percent of how much each killer is used. In this way we will know what killers are fun to play as and are good as is and which ones might need a reworking. If this goes well then I will have one for the survivors. Please try posting, it takes 5 seconds to type in the name of your killer and press

  • Is there a way for me to change how I wiggle off the killers grasp? It's boring and it damages my controller's LS... If there ain't: Devs, can you at least make it so that we need to press different buttons as the killer is carrying us instead of moving the LS like a lunatic? It could even ad more fun if you had to be aware of what button you need to press repeatedly and you could even make it s

  • Somebody made a chapter for a vampire and a new survivor called Holly Wu. This was one of her perks (I know it looks blurred) This was made a bit ago, but this perk is actually the perk Better Together. so the devs actually used this perk for Nancy. Or maybe coincidence? I don't think so.

  • It’s a lowball move to your consumers to release a much anticipated event during bug galore. matchmaking bugs are a absolute mess with SWF from hidden bugs not noticeable at first glance like friends joining SWF from my screen but they are getting error’d out. or I will join lobbies without my friends or they will join lobbies without me. then there’s waiting 5 minutes in a SWF group ju

  • Just a couple of days ago I could find a match in a matter of seconds, now it takes many minutes not counting the lobby doesn't appear instantly full but it takes other time to have 4 survivors join. Am I the only one?

  • I feel like I struggle on these maps the most due to the size of them and having difficulty applying pressure with killers that don't have the best mobility as it feels like I take a while just to get across the map and pressure a generator (Rancid Abattoir doesn't feel as bad in this aspect). On top of that, I'm not really sure how to stop the loops on this map and that costs me a lot of time

  • SS - Broken with addons. Can be borderline OP even without addons, if played correctly. S - Can be OP with certain addons. Top tier without addons. Don't rely on survivor mistakes most of the times. A - Really good killers. Fairly consistent, but somewhat rely on survivor mistakes. B - Can be really good with addons. Mediocre without addons.

  • Ok I agree with the match making changes but these wait times are outrageous ,40 minutes for a game!! I see alot of people starting to drop the game for other titles because it's constantly broken, If you don't fix the wait times this game will die on console , I don't care how much fun the game is because I can't even play it half the time it's either the wait time, lobby gets bugged, or killer

  • So are they ever gonna fix where the survivor can't wiggle, recover , see HUD and escape through the gate in game? This bug has been going on for like three patches now with no fix even brought up or even being addressed. It's unfair when you escape the trial only to learn you've been BHVR'D and have to fall off the edge land back in the map and pray the hatch hasn't already been found even thoug

  • Dead by Daylight patch 3.2.1 has just gone live. The two major changes following this update are: The Demogorgon's 'Shred' ability now breaks pallets by default. The matchmaking algorithm for Survive With Friends now uses the highest ranked player's rank to find a killer, instead of the average of all the ranks. Now this is my very first time in my 2,332 hours of playtime that I have taken t

  • Every game has a hillbilly and is an unstoppable killer His map control is absurd, he with BBQ is just ridiculous. yes there is distortion but still it is completely broken He has no cooldown with the chainsaw (except if it hits the wall) His ability to walk with the saw on is very depressing he holds the time he wants Hillbilly is one of the reasons that makes me tired of playing DBD

  • So mettle of Man is garbage. You waste all that time getting 3 stacks and your whole team is probably dead. How about just make it a reverse borrowed time? when you get unhooked, you get resistance for 30 seconds (reason for 30 is because you can only use it 2 times compared to borrowed time which you can use 6 times) and you get mending when have t for 10/15/20 seconds (or 15/20/25 seconds I
