  • Just wanted to say again thank you devs for ruining Ghostface, you really know how to keep me invested in the game with these educated changes. There was no reason to nerf GF right out of the gate you never even gave the community time to test him at the only ranks that matter the red ranks if you balance for casuals or low rank then every killer will get destroyed by the red ranks.

  • Will everyone automatically have them unlocked or will we have to unlock them again? Because everyone on console had Bill's perks by default.

  • My last game all the survivors run at me, the moment the got down they dc'ed and the last took the hatch. Total game time 1 min, waited 10 min in the lobby...waste of addons and cake... In the after game chat the survivors spammed "ez game lolz" so they clearly didn't lost the connection. Is this really how things should be in DBD nowadays? Do I need to stop playing until the servers are onli

  • I've been running We'll Make It + Empathy + No Mither for a while now, and I've healed a lot more than 50 health states (keeping track) combined. No Mither is supposed to count as injured for all trophies, so it's not that (people on Steam also say they have gotten progress this way). So what's the problem preventing me from getting this so far? Does it need to be complete health states and no

  • Just a rant, but I just finished the shortest game as survivor ever. Going up against a billy, someone is chainsawed within a minute, they DC. Next 2 people found DC once they get chainsawed. I get found and chainsawed and die on hook. All in all, about a 4.5 minute game. People DC'ing because the killer is trying to KILL them is just ridiculous. It sucks to be the first one found (especial

  • Honestly I’m usually playing survivor and I still think the dream world might need a little buff. I believe when we are awake we now hear his heartbeat right? I honestly liked hearing his lullaby as survivor. Maybe a new rework could be that survivors hear his lullaby even while awake. They see Freddy flickering in and out of the dream world but when he’s within 16 meters of you, you fully s

  • As the title says, I feel gatekeeper badge needs to fixed. ATM it's got a ridiculously high threshold hold. A 32k point game (max bp's) with a remaining gen and 4 sacrifices with the full 12 hooks should be a double pip. This is at rank 10 as well I might add.

  • pretty much a broken record on the topic at this point, but being a lower rank player, still farming up every killer to lvl 40 for the teachables... being placed against SWFs with red/purple rank players is absolutely ruining this game for me. I know this game is nearly impossible to balance, and the matchmaking is impossible to get "perfect" .. but come on.. there is no way a person with 1000+

  • hello there! I am a survivor main on ps4. I enjoy running non meta perks/builds for fun,but there are some perks that are not good or need small changes,IMO. Here is the list: - Autodidact: The concept is cool,but it is RNG based,and this can screw you up. My idea: Add a 10/15% higher chance of triggering a healing skill check. - Boil over: this perk can save your life and I relize it can b

  • If you get 8/7/6 hooks before the last Generator is completed a broken totem will be rebuilt into a Hex totem granting you a 4% speed boost and gives Survivors the Exposed status effect until the totem is broken. Once the totem is destroyed the Collapse begins. If no totems have been broken during the trial a random dull totem will be selected. No One Escapes Death is a problem for Solo Survi

  • I think we're due for another Chapter in August? What sort of killer/survivor do you hope we get? As far as my hopes go I'm hoping for: KILLER: A scarecrow sort of character that can use the ravens on the maps in different ways. Similar to this character I made a few months back - https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/46739/killer-creation-the-effigy#latest

  • Be honest. And some tips when dealing with it. Sometimes nothing affects me but other times it does. It doesn't matter if I play survivor or killer I am either sensitive as snowflake or cold as a psychopath.

  • Since Freddys snares now do the same thing as the bottle there is no real reason to play Clown anymore considering Freddy has other advantages to him too. Clown buff when?

  • I tested the new Freddy and he is not that bad. But we need to make him great, not just "ok". He was one of the worst killers (if not the worst) for a long time. This ICON deserves better! 1.) If you hit a survivor, he'll be dragged into the dream world immediatly. That way you can actually use your traps (Dream Snares) in the chase. But sometimes it can be hard to get the first hit against good

  • Once more everyone is circle jerking over reacting. His traps will be just as good as a gas clown slow as they are the same. This teleport takes 3 seconds, the same time as a wraith uncloak. He can hit survivors to make them sleep and has base line stealth, having the same TR has a Myers. The cool down on teleport can literately be about 15 seconds. Survivors waste time waking up and sl

  • I have been questioning for some time why we have these status effects in the game when they do nothing to the game or the surv game play. I apologise for long post but i feel it does need working on to actually mean anything also giving me more to do as a surv that makes it feel more like im trying to stay alive. Really would make me happy to see peoples thoughts and ideas 🐖 For example the

  • In the Freddy rework stream, Horvath is talking about something and he says "I was running around a car, I think I was playing as Pat" sounds like a new survivor, nobody's named Pat currently that we know about, check it out for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ypdDN388Xg&t=46m18s Maybe we could get a new character alongside the Freddy rework?

  • Everyone has been talking about this Stranger Things crossover into Dead by Daylight and how it could be the next chapter, but as the title says, I don't particularly find this interesting. I never watched the show because I never found a reason to so I don't know a single thing about it and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Of course if they add in a new survivor and killer I will be excited to see

  • Couldn't the Freddy rework just be a new killer who uses the same concepts, but is just re-themed somehow? It seems like what was described on the stream could be the basis for a good Lovecraftian sanity-based killer. We've had all kinds of buffs and nerfs and adjustments since the game started, but this is going to be the first time a killer has been effectively removed, and replaced with somet

  • @Peanits Maybe I missed it if it was said somewhere but do all skill checks wake up from the dream or only generator skill checks ? I think that since now there is that special wake up table that only generator skill checks should wake up from the dream. Since healing takes priority before wake up action it would make it so that self care would still hard counter large part of Freddy's power.

  • It's incredibly underwhelming. Sleeping means you're in Freddy's realm, you're meant to be scared, and you SHOULD feel that waking up is your most important goal. Instead there are now 8 mediocre traps on the map, and Freddy has a 20 second cooldown blink with way too much warning that he's coming. Wowee. If this is what actually ships, Freddy is still going to be incredibly mediocre, and yet a

  • I find it annoying and also a bit distracting how survivors can just jump over pallets/windows a million times far away from the killer to cause noise disturbance. It happens with SWFs or survivors intentionally trying to be chased for me. I usually ignore it but sometimes the sound of it messes with me trying to hear someone I'm chasing or looking for. There needs to be a limit on these alerts h

  • Freddy is already looking super mediocre, so he'll probably get a buff, and then a hotfix nerf, just like Nerface. So why are we still having hope that the devs want lethal killers? Why are we still living in this lost and broken dream (haha) that we'll ever feel like a power role on any killer that isn't Nurse and Spirit?

Aside from the most recent 4, and excluding licenses on both sides, every Survivor has equal or more. Now i'm not saying to drop Survivor cosmetics, and then only make equal amounts. I'm just wondering if there's another reason for it besides Kil
