  • Yesterday I discussed with some friends about how they just cannot play a Killer game without using Ruin at the higher ranks, deeming that otherwise they would just be rolled over by how quick some survivors can repair generators. So, let's do a survey: From 1 to 10, how much is ruin important in your main killers' build? Remember to also state your rank for more precise informations. I play

  • Among the notes of the 2.6.0 PTB patch we read: <<Added the matchmaking queue time display for both roles. This change follows the backend matchmaking changes (addition of queues) that were recently deployed.>> @not_Queen @Patricia Could we have some official information on the new features introduced by the new matchmaking system, and on the benefits it entails? :)

  • Survivor: Decisive Strike Iron Will Killer: Overwhelming Presence Hex: Devour Hope For Survivor, Decisive Strike and Iron Will are not the worst or best perks and it depends on your play style so I would say either or is okay. For Killer, I would not go with Overwhelming Presence, Franklin's Demise does a better job and is more rewarding, survivors won't usually use their item in your T

  • So i've been around for about 2k hours now. I've encountered cheaters twice? Thrice? And those were all in the first half of its current lifespan. But just now, i had a Feng (can't use their profile name obviously) who was completely fine, then starts lagging forward, never able to catch up to them with normal speed. I was in luck though: I was playing Spirit for a Daily, and managed to ca

  • Is this something considered as lag switch or lag spike? I keep reporting these type of games I have been in, but I am not sure it does anything or even if this is reportable. Because if it is either of those things I wouldn`t waste so much time to crate those reports from now on.

  • I saw a few posts in a thread recently talking about the more rare or common perks ran by both sides in a match. And I wanted to know what perks you all usually run on both survivor and killer. And any suggestions you have for a fun build leave them here and I'll try them out. Here are my most common perk selections: Calm Spirit, Iron Will, Urban Evasion, and either Quick and Quiet, or Diver

  • And call me "black" "noob" "n*gger" after the game ends even though THEY'RE WINNING and start harassing me anyway because i suck at killer. No screenshot but i have his steam link and found out is a japanese kid. Does report system also work for ban racist player? Edit:remove link and is very shame we can't name toxic behavior. I hope dev reading my report

  • This perk is actually really buggy, some maps the blood will actually not appear with this perk, believe me, I stopped running this perk because almost half of the maps I played Blood marks did not appear off of an injured survivor Just wanted to say this, if you think its bait and think "this is not a fact its an opinion" I will play legion and get a clip of the blood marks not appearing

  • What I mean, is that when something fishy happens because I saw you from across the map, saw scratch marks from across the map, know most spawns by heart, and it happens to be the streamers. Seems like a weird rule imo with the ways people could be falsely banned.

But in my head when legion came out, hey derange pursuit dost look that difficult. ooooohhh boy i was wrong . this who you guys said how to get it: Patricia said: To achieve Deranged Pursuit you need to *Choose The Legion *Activate Frenzy *While in Frenzy Hit a Survivor to activate Killer Instinct. *Hit

  • So the rank reset had just occurred. I still have that accursed ritual to escape with Min Feng (I never play her and have pretty bad perks on her). I say in the lobby: "We've got this team!" Then in the offering screen I see all of the offerings come together when the farthest right offering is a Jigsaw Piece. "Oh god is it one of those Doctors?" The game loads and three people scream. I trie

  • Yes, I know this topic has been discussed a thousand times. Yes, I don't care if it's annoying. So, we have new ranking changes, if they are going to be implemented. These changes greatly increase the difficulty of ranking up. We know that quite a high amount of the player base purposely avoid ranking up due to the multiple problems that come with it. Longer que times, more difficulty and all i

  • I'm on the PS4 so I have not played the PTB nor have seen what it's like. As most people who have played at Rank 1 will get to the point, where they actively try and avoid getting to rank 1. As personally, I prefer to play at purple ranks as when I play survivor I find most killers in the red ranks just play like yellow rank killers but are just better at the game (camping, tunnelling, etc).

  • I just had a game versus Legion. Green ping in the lobby, game was going smooth at the beginning and suddenly a chase starts and lag went crazy. Jake is downed and lag disappears. Every single chase, lag. Together with Meg and Claudette we finished the 4th gen inside the chapel. No lag at all. I jumped thru the open window and Legion saw me in the distance and ran towards me. I saw him running t

  • I'm not sure how else to describe it. I admit I haven't played the Killer role much (and I had only just returned to this game after a long break, not having played a lot back then either) -- but I was in a game where I was swarmed by Survivors and they evaded me by running straight into me and pretty much disappearing from the screen, then either continuing to circle and repeat or running of

  • Hi! I like a lot Huntress and i would like to know about players that have mastered her. I don't play to much survivor so i have never faced a really good Huntress. I'm curious to know players that also love this killer and may have dedicated lots of hours into her. Do you know someone that matches to this description, do you remember a Game against some insane Ann? Write It here. I specify

  • To keep the story short: My setup: "Bloodpoint Billy" (Thrill of the hunt, distressing, BBQ, Ruin) + offering for more bloodpoints Their setup: 2 decisive strikes, offering to spawn together, brand new part, multiple toolboxes (green), 3 adrenalines. Result: 4 kills only 1 gen repaired. How? They saboed my hooks forcing me to slug which is obviously easy as Billy AND they found a cor

  • No more DS so legion can gain alot of momentum no matter who he goes for. Thanatophobia so you will have to heal against a killer that can easily injure you Corrupt Intervention so survivors come close to each other for the first 2 minutes of the game. Infectious Fright so there's absolutely no hiding. OR Nurses calling for M&A combo Monitor & Abuse for that sweet Infectious Fright te

  • Dude, I have Bond. I can see you there doing next to nothing; hiding while I’m risking myself to fix this last goddamn gen. You know, we can fix it a lot faster with both of us on it! Sure, we’re the last two survivors in the fog and I know you don’t know me from Adam,but I’m 85% done with this gen and the killer will be here any moment. Now I’m starting to get resentful of you as I look at yo

You just say a week, no "Ending on 3/12 or whatever date at such and such o'clock whatever standard time" (It was still going on like 2-3 am PST early this morning when I was playing, when did it end exactly?)

  • I feel that over time prestige has lost its meaning as something that shows off a players dedication to a specific character and has just become a novelty. I believe that there should be a better way to show off that you are truly dedicated to the character which is why I suggest a new prestige level after 3, Uber Prestige. In order to obtain this new prestige level you will need to have a certai

  • I'm a rank one killer. About 33% of games, I have 1–2 survivors DC'ing. Popular reasons: I'm playing Legion There's two survivors left in a match. One disconnects to give the other a free hatch. The DC'ing survivor then goes on to BOAST in the post-game chat about how they will NEVER, EVER be banned! BHVR... DO SOMETHING! YOU SET THE BOUNDARIES ON WHAT'S CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE.

Any school outfits would enjoy personally yourself? 1. Goth Dark hoodie with goth makeup on mask. 2. Preppy Golden mask with diamond engraved and ruby handle knife in cashmere hoodie. 3.

  • A message to all killers. I never understood why people are afraid to fight any sort of survivors. Are you not a confident killer? Do you think you're bad? I don't get it. I understand killers have almost instantaneous wait times but survivors do not. I can't tell you how annoying it is to wait 10-15 minutes to find a game just to get dodged, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. Stop being afraid of

  • https://youtu.be/XYVjvXq-CKQ?t=450 ^Fog whisperers opinion. Now that it's almost rank reset I've faced so many killers today who have no idea how to play the game. In the example above it's a Pig who only tunnels the person with the trap on their head, which is what happens in low ranks. For me it was a spirit who couldn't use her power in a chase at all, so instead lik

  • Every additional totem past your first adds 5% to cleansing time, Haunted grounds only adds 5% despite adding two totems. that means if you take 4 totem perks (ie ruin, devour, haunted, thrill and third seal etc) you'll have up to 15% extra cleansing time (excluding thrill of the hunts already increasing cleansing time. Also offerings should be made that give you a one off use of a hex totem.

  • First of all, when is the Plague be released ? Kinda say she's broken but looks awesome as a character/gameplay. Second is ... what's next ? i think roadmap is done and this is the last killer... will the game end as well ? will they keep creating content on it ? i really love it and hope it continues be played / supported but i'm afraid people lose interest or devs and game dies...

  • So when you play high rank killers. People tend to use SWF to swing the advantage in their favor. If one of these guys camps the SWF team will punish. 3 gens can easily be done in the time it takes to chase and camp ONE survivor for ONE hook status. I am so tired of playing with other randoms. Is this game unplayable random at high rank? I don't understand why they never punish camping killer

  • I think it would be very interesting to have a map near the ocean in a future DBD chapter. I mean an underwater map/ killer has been requested multiple times for a new chapter, and if we were to have a Fisherman's Wharf/ Pier map, then that would be an easy and creative way to blend both a creature from the water or at least associated with water with land and buildings nearby. I think it would b

  • For me its Doctor and Pig. I really don't understand how so many people place them that high. Both easy to loop, both don't really have abilitys to anti loop. Yeah Pig can use ambush to mindgame at pallets and Doctor can block vaults with the shock. But smart survivors won't struggle with that at all. I do 5 gen runs against both at high ranks tho. Who do you think is the most overrated killer a

  • The pig needs a buff and I think these ones would be perfect! So after placing a trap on the survivors heads and a gen is done it activates. Once the timer starts ticking each gen done while the timer is active removes 10 seconds off the timer. If someone has a trap on their head and the exit gates are powered failing a jigsaw box will result in a 5 second penalty. Traps apply the

  • How many new players know that, while crouching, the phantom traps do not trigger? Who knows that the Spirit phases at 176%, Hillbilly runs at 230% and the Nurse blinks at 300% speed? How many people are aware that the killer's FOV is 87° wide and is increased by 15% from Shadowborn 3? Who is able to calculate the healing speed resulting from SelfCare + Botany Knowledge + Spine Chill +

  • Its amazing that this game isn't review bombed because of this, larger games get a worse treatment for less things. Will the hitboxes in this game ever be addressed. No its not always because of lag, I will not accept that, theres been plenty of acceptable latency games I've had among many others that have that quite frankly bullshit hits from killers. It just comes across very sloppy, and for
