  • I was thinking about something.. All the chapters have a code name, and all the dlc/content with a code name has map, survivor and killer. The last was " Mali ", the chapter on the Plague. Instead, the folders of paragraph/dlc with a single character, has as the code name simply have the name of the character in question, in fact Ash's dlc have codenamed " Ash ", and Leatherface's dlc has as

  • Before throwing a rock at me, please read carefully. I know Endgame Collapse was designed to end the hatch-standoff and time-wasting survivors and I agree with that. However, now I experienced a few games where killers use EGC to waste a survivor's time instead. For example, I was the last survivor and was being chased by the killer (Plague). I found the hatch but she managed to down me be

  • Having three gens pop while chasing and downing a survivor is very balanced and clearly shows the direction in where this game is heading. Even with ruin three gens get done in a minute.

  • Disclaimer: this post is in no way meant to be any sort of flex. I've been getting matched with survivors in the 15-20 range all weekend. I'm a rank 10-11 survivor (generally purple by the end of the month). I'm obviously not great at the survivor side, but survivors at that range are typically well below my skill level, which is what matchmaking is supposed to avoid. My concern is that this is h

  • I think that generators are a problem since the game came out, same mechanics, that many will seem "fun" after 3 years, only holding the M1 .... and get more than 2.5k to repair a generator. .. Simply with this you are encouraging the survivors to repair (I understand ... it is the only objective and they must do it to escape) but why so many points? Since the ranking system was "balanced" ... w

  • I have been wrongfully banned on the dead by daylight steam forums because the moderators didn't know I posted a sarcastic comment with a /s on it and because of it, I got permanently banned because I "admitted to cheating on the forums". I have already submitted a ticket to the devs about it but I just wanna ask, Is it that hard to find sarcasm, especially when someone literally put a /s there?

  • The only killer that isnt boring for me right now is Legion (wich may suprise some people) But why are there no changes towards killers ? i dont understand. Behavior only makes mid chapter updates and chapter updates when new dlc comes so why are there so few changes. Do the devs acually want some killer to be trash and some OP with zero changes at all ? For how long will Billy and Nurse be

  • -insert name here- (Rarity: uncommon/rare/very rare) You are determined to escape your foe's grasp. If your wiggle meter is beyond 97/95/93%, within 4 meters of a hook, you will instantly break free from the killer's grasp. You are able to wiggle during the hooking process. If the wiggle meter is at 99% during any circumstance, you will escape their grasp but be Broken for 60 seconds.

  • Beacon * After being on hook at least 10 seconds, this perk activates. Timer will start: For each 3 seconds that killer is within 16 meter range from hook, all Survivors will gain +2% Repair Action speed bonus up to maximum of +24 / +26 / +30 % bonus. Being unhooked will remove all that action speed bonus. If any Survivor is in chase within that 16 meter range, timer will sto

  • Her endgame builds don't work anymore. She has no map pressure, no way to end chases quickly (well, you can try to mindgame with the ambush but that doesn't work in a lot of loops), and an unreliable way to slow the game down because it depends on the RNG. When 2-3 survivors remove their RBT on the first attempt I want to kill myself, and that happens too often. Pig should be buffed to compensate

  • Mettle of Man has always been a touchy subject for most of the community. When it was first teasered in the Ash vs. Evil Dead trailer, the community created an uproar demanding it was too op. Personally, I wanted to wait to give my opinion on it before deciding if it was good, bad, or even, op. Seeing as how the perk has been released and might be changed, I figured it's the best time to talk abo

  • I was thinking about any possibke win streak rewards for both killer a survivor sides. There is my thoughts. Survivor side: For every escape in a row, that counts 2+ escapes, you gain 5% BP bonus for each performed escape. BPs ll be gained aftermatch. Dying during the match will drop off the current streak, but you still will be able to get BP bonus after current match. Example You hit the

  • M arth on twitchtv. He even adds a DC-meter on his stream when playing as killers and usually it's 2 digit numbers for every stream. This implies that survivors in DBD are getting more toxic, either they bully killers and escape or rage quit vs good killers.

  • So I’m talking about the useless perks that nobody really uses. A couple examples would be: Vigil Wake up Sole Survivor - I think this is useless compared to the newer perks, just run distortion. OoO - Let’s be real, the only reason people run this perk is to bully killers as SWF lol. Stake out - Rewards you for being bad at the game and not being able to hit great skill checks. Detectives

  • I would love to play around and make my own take at this game, for example: survivors have only 1 health, meaning 1-hit = down remove 60% of the pallets from the map increase walking and breathing sounds of killers by 50% change killers walking speed to 101% reduce volume of terror radius by 25-50% (chase volume should remain the same) And continue tweaking from this. My idea is to remov

  • Love to use vigil but it's kinda a gimmick for me and my friends. If there were anything I could change about the perk I would add: Recover from the 'broken' effect faster. IE: Legion Pin and Deliverance And obviously, recover exhaustion at anything as low as 15% while running. That's all.

  • After stunning the Killer 4/3/2 times with a pallet, Mettle of Man activates. Once activated, the next occasion that would put you into the Dying State is ignored. If you die and you are the Obsession , then the killer get a 25%/20%/15% decreased cool-down on successful attacks for every "Mettle of Man" in the game. Mettle of Man will deactivate the next time you are put into the Dy

  • Okay... I play half and half so I play killer and Survivor. When it comes down to it. I always hated the hatch standoff because it was just a colossal waste of time. Either you were going to grab them when they jump through the hatch or they just slid on by. Now with the endgame killers are Downing the last survivor closing the hatch and watching them die to the in-game collapse like it's goi

  • killers who just wait for the timer when they find the last survivor is just really an issue, making the timer longer could prevent this issue, or hell simply PAUSE it when they are down, so if they want so badly to have the animation they will literally have to pick up everytime so they get back up and down them again and do the 3-5 seconds of recovery and hit the survivor so many times, so fun

  • At this point the amount of people disconnecting for every reason it's huge. And I still see a lot of them still playing and doing it over and over. As surv or killer it's kinda annoying; ruins the fun for both sides and apparently there's not punishment for that (althought they said they really punish disconnects). I hope devs really fix this in a future. It's ridiculous, I saw a lot of streamer

  • So since the newest patch 2.7.0 auras are now obscured by the notification bubbles. This makes Kindred and Bitter Murmur much less useful. Kindred is not as affected by this as much as killers can go back into the area of affect, but when they just leave the area after they hook the survivor then you cant see where they are going being the aura is obscured. Bitter Murmur on the other hand is made
