  • Hello all, Throughout my play, I have encountered survivors that have refused to end the game. Yesterday, I spent 1 and a half hours trying to find the last survivor. Turns out he was in a locker on the opposite side of the map from the hatch writing an essay and making dinner. I just happened to check it out of where the heck else could he be. He said he would have done it til he was don

  • No ego, no bravado...just trying something new and very difficult for me. Killer main, Billy. Love the Doc though. I, unapologetically, use the 3 gen lock down method, where a match can take over 40 minutes. There is a TON of info on the Nurse...problem is, I haven't been keeping up. Not sure what's changed if anything. What is still relevant, what isn't. Not to mention, within these forum

  • Whats your favorite map and why is that your favorite map? This can be any map that you just feel stands out to you. My favorite map is the preschool map because of the detail put into the preschool. It looks exactly like the one in the movie and I always have fun getting chased in the map. The map is the average size of most maps but looks huge because of how everything is layed out.

  • Is anyone having any issues at the moment for PS4? I tried searching for a match for at least ten minutes but I keep getting errors or it just takes longer than 2-3 minutes. Or is it just me?

  • Hello all, I am trying to get a better feeling for whispers, but have no idea how large a 32meter radius is. I don't know what a meter looks like in game. Can anyone help me? How far out is 5meters, 10, 20, 30? Anything would be appreciate as I have no point of reference. Thanks!

  • Just so you can get genrushed and looped to death? When you are going to realize that survivors are NOT the problem,but SWF is? No survivor nerf will be enough if you dont add a secondary objective,each nerf is just gonna make a solo survivor experience even worse.(wich is already HELL due to DCs)

  • I know I could probably look it up...but some people here just know, I'm lazy, and that's easier. Was it shelved, forgotten, or discarded. I mean, they had the entire system working, showed it off in a video and everything.

  • If you could only run one perk what would that perk be and why? For killer I’d probably run Save The Best For Last. Its pretty effective for getting hits in quickly and ending chases. For survivor I would run Self Care because its really a pain to rely on your teammates to heal you. Also self care is just a good independent perk to run in order to be less reliant.

  • You get 4 perks plus 1 of your own. It could help killers with their work load, and make killers more unique. And no, survivors don’t need a 5th personal perk. They have enough going for them in this particular department.

  • I had recent discussion about roadmaps but what found interesting is alot of people fine with no more killers added. Got me thinking do we have enough killers. We got 11 original killers and 4 licensed killers. 4th licensed killer might also be the 5th with the evil dead chapter coming up soon. Do you think we got enough killers? Does working on current killers sound appealing? Have you found

  • hay guys, there are alot of perks in dbd now and there are alot that are underused be it because the effect they have is not enough, its to situational or there is a perk that dose its job better if you could change or buff one perk what would it be? personally mine would be beast of pray i would make it an active perk where after 20 or so seconds in the chase the perk becomes active and aft

  • Wouldn't you like to see Survivors have another option or 2 besides windows & pallets related to the environment? I know i do, i'm getting bored of the same loops over and over again. Granted, such an addition probably won't change loops as we know them, but it'd be a refreshing addition. So now the challenge, is this... What BALANCED tools would you like to see added to map generation

  • Is it just me, or has this game just been no fun at all this past week. I'm a killer main, and since this event has started, it feels like all the survivors in the game have collectively switched into tryhard mode. Nearly every match I play, a generator gets completed before I even see a single survivor. I've all but given up on this game and accepted that I'm not going to pip at all. This is by

  • today i watched some dbd streamers and they literally played more 3vs1 games than 4vs1. Maybe you guys should start balancing the game around 3vs1. Since 4vs1 games are rare nowadays

  • So, hear me out. Her hatchets fragment on impact, sending iron and wood shrapnel flying everywhere, so I thought, wouldn’t that injure survivors that are close to said impact? What if, we gave her frag grenades? Eh? How bout that? Don’t like a loop spot? Blow it up. Don’t like that gen placement? Blow it up. That guy using metal of man? Blow his legs off. You want to quit the match early? Bl

  • So during the dream transition, what if there were two or three other freddy’s following the player and doing things like kicking gens or vaulting windows, sometimes moving towards the player to scare them into turning towards the real killer. Survivors have to guess which one is the killer and try to keep track of them as they disappear and reappear in their line of sight as the dream trans

  • During one year and four months I played dead by daylight and during that time I played with all the killers equally, and I needed help to choose one as the main one plus I could not climb any of my level killers because I am giving prestige to my survivors ( i got all prestige excluding jane and ash) could you help me?

  • You all know it, deep down, that it’s not being tunneled that makes you mad, it’s the fact that a few minutes into the match you’re mashing a button while just sitting there hoping for rescue. Wouldn’t it be way less upsetting if you just had to hold a button to give up? That’s the only thing that makes playing survivor so unappealing to me when I play, is the struggle phase. Even if I only

  • As of right now, it is damn near impossible to pip. You play a game and do very well, expecting to pip, but you only safety pip. As a killer, you are punished for trying to put pressure, if you leave a chase to initiate a new one and spread out the pressure, that counts as losing the chase. Late game killers such as Myers and Pig have no chance to get gatekeeper emblems because 2 or 3 gens get d

  • You really need to do something about this people who disconnect from the game cause they want to win easily.. Is becoming really frustrating and annoying. I’m really fed up of this situation. I play on ps4 and everytime i’m close to do 4/4 with killer someone disconnect and ruin my game! Please punish those people! And of course the same for killers who dc.

  • NoEd is getting really annoying... I’ve read plenty of posts regarding how to counter it, why it’s hated, why it’s needed, etc., but when I played killer, I rarely used it because I just found it as a cheap crutch (I typically end my games before all the gens are done anyway). But now that I play survivor, it’s as if basically every killer is using it game after game after game after game and aft

  • I saw another thread about changing iron maiden and had an idea. What if instead of giving the notification when the survivor leaves, how about when they enter it? That way the killer has a head start and actually has a chance make use of the perk.

  • So that they can't open the hatch, but moreso, increase their aura reading power. I'd love to use a key to see where the killer is for a while but blood amber doesn't last long. It would also be nice if we could use keys to instantly open chests I say we buff the aura reading power of keys, let them open chests and give them a new function which allows the survivor to use a key to get a hook

  • You want to smack people? Yeah, "LEGION IS A NO SKILL KILLER WHO JUST HITS YOU AND HITS YOU OVER AND OVER, IT'S ANNOYING". Uh huh. The Spirit and Nurse is a lot similar in a way, Spirit has a 20 second cool down with no fatigue, Nurse can use it all the time with fatigue, you can't see scratch marks with Spirit, with Nurse, doesn't matter, just teleport. Legion's power is a mixture of both who is

  • You know what I mean, the Speed Limiters and Padded Trap style Add-ons. A large number of the killer roster still lacks add-ons of this variety so let's help the devs brainstorm. Legion: Butter Knife - A rather dull blade. Deep Wounds timer is longer and survivors mend faster. Gain 100% BP in the Deviousness category. Doctor: Joy Buzzer - A small hand held buzzer, it tickles more than it act

  • Why did the devs revert the pallet distribution amount? There are TONS of pallets now. It's not even funny. It's like the amount of pallets during 1.5.0.

  • Survivor Mains can complain about camping and tunneling all they want, but I will take that any and every day compared to the sensory control survivors have over the Killer. Tonight was seriously one of the worst and most toxic play experiences I've had in this game in a long time. Nothing but a constant barrage of audio alerts triggered by survive with friends systemically switching off so at no

  • Currently bloodlust gives 0.2m/s additional movement speed every 15 seconds in a chase, stacking to a maximum of 3 times. All stacks are lost after certain actions, such as getting stunned or hitting a survivor. Given that survivors can finish the game under 3 minutes (5 gens can be done in 2 waves of 80 second repair, for a total of 160 seconds), killers should be balanced around getting 4k

  • People with an actual fear of clowns I mean. I know the devs really thought about the Clown before actually releasing him (due to fear of clowns actually being a thing) but ultimately thought the benefit of the clown would be a greater reward to the company. Should those types of DC’s be justified?

  • You nerfed it when it was needed to have less pallets. you removed the LT wall pallet. Now you have those pallet spawns where a pallet can spawn or not. Why isnt the LT wall one of those spawns? I really miss them. it was so good and created some spicy jukes and mindgames. Would really like to see them back as a possible pallet spawn, not an extra pallet ^^ Edit: I clipped this from an very

From balanced mixtapes to 110 speed mindgames, here are the four biggest categories on the tragically small spectrum of Legion mains.

  • I'm getting a bit annoyed by my teammates using the pools when facing a Plague.. just stay sick and do gens, it's so much better than giving her corrupt purge (which has no counterplay). It's the same with Legion, you don't heal and rush gens. Same tactic.
