  • I cannot take this unbalanced, one sided game anymore. Any other killers tired of the utter lack of balance, the poor development and overal bias this game has become. This game is a load garbage now.

  • Keep listening to those Killer main streamers. It's working out really well for you. Enjoying those survivor queues? There's a lot more where those came from. You think 10 minutes is bad, then you'll love 30+ when survivors are finally entirely done with your bullshit.

  • Hey there, new to posting on the boards but have lurked since I purchased the game during the Halloween sale. I've seen a fair bit of discussion and complaints that there is almost no incentive to achieving high rank because getting high rank just means more difficult matches, often against cookie-cutter builds and perks. This leads to much more of an incentive to disconnecting the moment some

  • To clarify one might make more camping but for those wraiths that don't it can be anmoying having to unlock as soon as you cloak due to a hook rush and then losing the rescuer or them both from it

  • If its not a toxic experience you've had then its someone (Survivor or Killer) being a jerk. For me, one game me and a Claudette finished a gen in the Groaning Storehouse building i ran and hid in the locker (I had a reason for doing this) She kept opening the locker and in my head i was like, man just go and do your thing let me be, smh Another game the Killer was in terror radius and a Claud

  • Title. How would that Idea be? Whenever I feel tired and not trying hard, I just dodge SWF lobbies. It's not their playstyle that is annoying to me but mostly the voice communication advantage just makes every experience as killer worse. That feature wasn't the point of this game at all.

  • I don't watch all the dev streams, nor have I seen this statistic anywhere. What is the average chase time? Disregarding insta-downs or anything else I'm talking survivor and killer both playing optimally what is the average amount of time it takes to hit them? If this information doesn't exist sorry.

  • I wonder why it doesn't skip people who are already on the hook. Say 2 Survivors are already dead. You put a Survivor on the hook in phase 1. You then hook another who gets sacrificed. The first Survivor still gets to waste time with phase 1 and then skips phase 2. (Or, y'know, escapes.) Again: 2 Survivors dead. You put a Survivor on the hook in phase 2. You then hook another who gets

  • I'm going to be honest i might have to uninstall this game as for the last 2 days i can't even have any sort of fun playing killer anymore. Survivors in my opinion are just way too strong with the "Meta Builds" they run such as Self Care, We'll Make it (which completely negates the healing nerfs), Decisive Strike, Adrenaline and just lately i am coming across commonly SWF groups running Objec

  • Seriously when are they getting fixed some of my games I get hit from across the map lol. Love the devs tho they do a great job with balancing the game

  • Why is there not a concussion effect to survivors when they get hit by the killer? Kind of the effect the clowns bottles gives off. I think it would be a good addition and some new perks could be made to strengthen/weaken it.

  • Hello people of the fog, First thing, there is a little explanation on my actual gameplay because this guide can't fit everyone. Have a good read I am definitly a rusher and I almost never stay under a hook, my gameplay is essentially filled by two tasks. Research+ and Destruction+ . Since survivors always try to escape whitout casualties at rank one they are using all kinds

  • _One Survivor and one Killer. Map: A horror themed mansion scaled down appropriately to fit the two players. Killers: The killers with AoE and instadown powers will be limited. (Billy and leatherface will have a permanent Speed Limiter effect, Doctor's Static field will be HEAVILY decreased, Freddy can be seen flickering in and out, etc) Survivors: The will not have access to perks that

  • As a Rank 1 Survivor main, I think these stats prove the game is in a healthy state. Survivors should lose more than half of the time. This preserves the terrifying nature of Killers and creates an atmosphere full of fear. Killers like to kill and Survivors like to be scared . Winning as Survivor is great, but I know the games I enjoy most are the ones where my heart is constantly beatin

  • It seems like it has been abandoned, the last update was in June. https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/765/beta-forums-public-changelog-and-wip-stuff Can someone even confirm if there is any work done at all? So far it looks like the shoddy result of a temp worker that honestly doesn't give a #########.

  • DC
    when I am playing a match wether it be survivor or killer and the lobby gets disconnected from the host at the beginning of the match why do I get penalized and lose rank. I find this to be a big issue when reaching the higher ranks. I also would like to know why there is no chat during the match I have to invite people to a party to talk not a big deal but still. I feel like there should be a cha

  • You can still get safe unhook points if you unhook in the Killers face with BT, and still have the guy get tunneled immediately after, getting hit and all. I would like to see this change as it can reward poor behavior. Perhaps towards the end game, the safe unhook points through BT can be rewarded as it’s the only shot to get them off of the hook

  • Playing the pig, and I have a ritual to complete 2 sacrifices with her. Got it after getting rid of a nurse ritual. Don't really play the pig much because she's underlevelled for me. 17 or so, no decent perks (I'm running insidious on her. That should give you a hint) Pretty sure two of them were SWF, potentially two 2-mans. Not too concerned about it, took 3-5 minutes to get them, so wha

  • 1.) What is the killer doing in this clip? https://xboxclips.com/NMCKE/ccae1a94-dfc9-4c82-87c9-2fe0c8fdebb9 A.) Trying to fake where the hatch is at AKA doing a mind game. B.) Giving up the match and letting me find the Hatch. C.) Camping the Hatch. Answer: C is the correct answer because as you can see, I'm doing generators to punish the killer for camping the hatch. A isn't correct becaus

  • There is a bug that is still not fixed for whatever reason and it's making me lose games. If I grab a survivor there's a high chance my killer will just freeze mid animation then after 1-5 seconds of just being frozen in place it just does a basic swipe attack. Every killer player knows 1 mistake can instantly lead to a loss but survivors can make 10 mistakes in a match and live in this case this

  • I find it kind of upsetting that the cannibal is able to unlock claudettes face as a cosmetic. I understand he is able to do so with the entire original 4 survivors; but being able to wear claudettes face is actually pretty problematic. We already deal with a lot of toxicity in the community, especially racism/homophobia, so the fact that there is a white killer that is able to actually paint his

  • So I was thinking, what makes a killer more powerful? It's best addons or its perks? It can really depend on what you run but what do killers rely on more? Some rely more on addons while others rely on perks, heck some dont need either. So what would you rather run? Addons and no perks or perks and no addons, what killer would you run them on too? I'd run addonless hillbilly with perks

  • Someone want to explain why killers get a leaver bonus but a killer can disconnect when they are about to lose to make survivors not get their 5k exit points? I've seen it time and time again but yet when survivors d/c killers get bloodpoints for it.

  • Dying Light Situation (For The Obsession) If you played this game for a while and you play both sides, there would be a time where you was the Dying Light obsession. 1.) You was tunneled 2.) You was downed 3.) You was hooked 4.) You was unhooked 5.) REPEAT STEPS 1 & 2 6.) You was mori'd This isn't fun for the killer since you are not getting involved in many chases. This obviously wasn't fu

  • I've lost to bloody party streamers because the killers just decide to dc before the match even starts. I don't think we should lose our offerings if the killer disconnects.

  • Is there an Add-on or Add-ons that you consider should be standard? Maybe you want Glass Bead on the Map Item or Rules Set No.2 on The Pig . I personally want Bloody Coil on The Trapper to be standard.

  • I'm sick of teammates not doing gens, not doing chases, not going for the unhook and just waiting for everyone else to accomplish 2 gens and die, so they can escape through the hatch, it's toxic and not fun. If you can't be a good teammate and contribute towards winning you deserve to lose and the hatch existing makes this not the case.

  • The Game plays how it sounds, your goal is to be the last survivor in the trial and escape through the hatch without being caught by the killer. General Rules! There will be 10 survivors and only a single killer in this game mode. Every survivor will suffer from the exposed status effect for the entire trial and once they are in dying state, you can kill them with a mori. Killers cannot pick u

  • I've noticed that, ever since the reset, the Blink speed of the Nurse has been drastically reduced. Is this an intentional nerf or a bug? And if it was intended, why wouldn't they devs say anything about nerfing the Nurse? Anyone else encountering this problem or is it just me?
