  • This would be a cool killer in the game he could pull people into darkness kind of like the nightmare and the survivor would coved in darkness and would be highlighted for eyeless jack for 5 seconds after the survivor gets out of the killers terror radius. Also the survivor will be free from the darkness after 60 seconds.

  • Can someone explain to me what exactly "efficiency" mean? Because for me it sounds like it's either faster or consumes less charge. But in both cases we already have addons for that, so it seems redundant

  • Hello people of the fog! Lately when playing survivor, I have been conflicted as to whether or not I should 99% the exit gates. I mainly play solo survivor so I cannot let the others know I am doing it, which could potentially hurt players being chased by the killer (since they don't know they have a way out). Any advice as to when—or if—I should do it? Thanks guys.

  • I really don't know what lag switching looks like, but this is the worst case of lag I've ever dealt with in DBD. Looks questionable to me. Link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iio7y1fux84

  • Prologue As we all know, the game can flash before our eyes if your killer is not tremendously effective at applying pressure, or is not using perks to slow the game down. Therefore, we reach a point in the game where both sides aren't happy such as the killer not having enough time to get hooks, and the survivors are forced to hold M1 for God knows how long. Base Changes These change

  • I don't understand your reasoning to include such a large map with generators so spaced out apart, there's no reason this should be so huge. If you're not playing one of the few killers with good mobility you are mostly screwed on that map. You Reworked The Preschool, this and Haddonfield need to be next in the list. Also, get rid of map offerings. Too many times these are abused by swf who f

  • Today I wanted to work on getting my achievements, which includes the grab survivors on gens achievement. I played spirit with prayer beads and every time I would go for the grab, it would play the beginning animation of my grab but then it would cancel and count as a normal hit. Even when I try to grab when I'm pig coming out of stealth. I've tried different methods of grabs too, like waitin

  • The lag on console is terrible. No matter what we survivors do the killer always lands his hits. Every match I experience this. Getting hit when I 360 the killer. Hit when I vault. Hit when I drop a pallet. Hit through walls and other objects.

  • So I don't see why this game doesn't have a system in which a survivor chooses their role prior to the match starting. For example, you can have the team medic, a "gen jockey", a distraction/chase guy, or something along the lines of all that. You could have a whole new ranking system in which you can only rank up if you perform well in your chosen role. This doesn't mean survivors who are medics

  • I'm a killer main, but I'd like to start adding more to the survivors web. I tend to play altruistic, and the only teachable I have is DS, that I bought with shards. Level all survivors to 40? Dont bother with some? Maybe Nea/Meg/Claudette first? I'd like my main skin to be maybe Tapp or Quentin. Probably overthinking this. Thx

  • So every day, I browse this forum to keep up on what's happening behind the scenes in DBD and what players can expect in future updates/releases. I've come to notice that there is no shortage of discussion threads regarding bugs, exploits, game imbalances, and other in-game issues that players encounter. Now I understand that a large portion of these posts are from people who are complaining just

  • Can someone maybe help me out by telling me how I can get the most bloodpoints with what I have? I mainly use hag or doctor for grinding bp because if I use anything else the entity gets displeased. Or I'm dead. And I want to use other killers but I don't have the perks I want for them yet...

  • I'd really like to know what you guys think about the design contest winners. I honestly feel a little robbed (even tho I didn't even participate). Yesterday someone posted some killer designs here and they were incredible. The winner on the other hand...

  • they should nerf gen times to 100 -120 and give you a notification if the killer has noed at the beginning of the end phase. Do you guys agree?

  • Is the game Killer vs survivors? Or killer vs volunteer sacrifice that should just start the trial on the hook? Why does it seem like most people who are active in the general discussion section of the forums see the game this way? Should killers getting a 4k with 30k be the acceptable and expected normal outcome of a game? Thusly accepting survivors expected game is for everyone to get 12k

  • Yeah right, usually when it comes to this game I always have behaviors back but this is unacceptable. To say something is coming in the summer when play slots are used up the most then bring it in late summer is honestly the dumbest move I could think a company would do. That is if it ever happens because it sure doesn't look like it especially with the ######### show that was the dedicated serve

  • You pair it with up the ante, it is basically a free deliverance. It is especially helpful at endgame if you haven’t been hooked.

  • Killers shouldn't be able to close the hatch. All they have to do is close hatch and run between the two exit gates that are right beside each other.

  • Art contests just dont seem fair to me anymore. People with true talent draw on pencil and paper and use their hand to put in effort. But instead of their dedication to their art being shown to others, it gets put in the shadows by art that people make on computers. You know...the people with no skill what so ever and they have to have a computer to make their art nice because they dont know how

  • Just hit me in the head. Why don't devs just give Pig deviousness points based on how much time survivor spent with a bear trap on his head similar to the Bleeding score event, this would be such an easy solution.

  • I'm gonna start off by informing you that I play both roles so that you won't assume that I only favor one role and start bashing me for it. As a player who's been playing Dead by Daylight since it launched on console (yes I don't have a pc unfortunately) I can say that the role of the killer is no doubt the most stressful role to play as at low ranks (I can assume that the majority of you can ag

  • Currenly the ban system is: if you break a rule you are banned for 24h -> 48h -> 1w -> Permanent. This seems reasonable, until you consider that recently, people are not getting banned for using the recent exploits. The problem is that anyone could reasonably argue that they didn't realise that were performing an exploit. Many players are not using the forum and I would imagine that

  • First, i'm a Killer main. And yes, i really think survivors should make more bloodpoints from the match. I'm not going on a long explanation with data, just putting it simple, with killer is far easier to reach 20-25k points just with 2 or 1 survivfor killed if you play good. But i see many survivor (or if i play survivor sometimes) even winning can grant you no more than 15-20k. I mean, i

  • I think gens need a new mechanic besides pressing m1 and space occasionally. Make it more of a tetris or puzzle game where we move objects around to fit in place to get more progress on a generator. If the gens were more interactive it would also make it harder for survivors to focus on a gen and keep an eye on the killer.

Now when I try to upload it here, it says that "the uploaded file did not have an allowed extension". It's not just this video though, I tried the other videos from my PS4, and I get the same result.

  • I was in a match recently and received some "friendly critiquing" from another survivor after they died. Basically the survivor wanted to inform me that it was my fault for "our team's" lack in performance. to which I replied... "this isn't a team game". The way I see dead by daylight is that there is "you, them, and it". You want to survive. It wants to sacrifice you. They exist. Si

Someone used a cake in the lobby, so I thought I would grab some points and try my best at bbq stacks. This surv I'm chasing keeps dropping pallets, so I was farming the pallets. On the next pallet I thought..."I will let him stun m

  • When running whispers does the entity say "yeeeeeesss" when you're approaching a survivor and blink on? And does it say "noooooo" when you go another way? I thought it did do that. I know it blinks on when in range but I thought it played hot or cold so you could find survivors.

  • Maybe its just DBD burn out rearing its head again but I'm noticing survivors have it so easy objective wise and I blame the devs for this issue. Its 2019 and you still got survivors doing gens because you can't come up with a logical way to extend the game long enough to do anything. Don't the devs have any idea how frustrating it is for a killer to be on the clock as soon as the match starts be

  • Recently was in a match where i trapped ghostface in a pallet, he used the gruesome cake thing and no one wanted him to disconnect because we just wanted to play and get points. A long time ago i saw a trapped freddy, and i think i know how killers can get unstuck from pallets but it will require testing. In the freddy match, people slid across the pallet repeatedly, and eventually the freddy wa

  • Just had a killer game where I noticed an Ash kept getting bursts of speed during chase. At first I knocked it as lag, so in post game I asked him about it. This player told me it was not lag, and in fact was a sprint burst exploit. He told me how it's done (won't post here in fear of people trying for themselves.) His whole team had sprint burst on so I am assuming they were a swf all using thi

I was a finalist in the art contest and came up short. I was hoping for a runner up spot since there was so many fantastic entries! But just being a finalist was great! I didn't have much time to finish my entry so I was just glad I got something done.
