Twice in a row, I had a survivor disconnect right when the match hit the 5 second mark and the match was confirmed. WTH! I'm trying what a person would have to gain by doing this. I can't see how this was accidental. Has anyone else run into this?6 comments 121 views last activity

One of my most anticipated features tbh assuming it isn't a disaster. Seems like a much better experience than playing against most killers these days. Have they said anything recently on the topic?25 comments 1,231 views last activity

I don’t care how bad the game starts please stop giving up on hook either because you got found first or whatever the reason may be. Y’all are the reason why some of these kill rates on certain killers are as “high” as they are if you looked at the recent data from a few days ago. Why do you continue to even play if this is how you’re gonna act you know what I mean? And if I’m able to I alway11 comments 171 views last activity

Since 3 genning is no longer possible, do you think it's safe to buff these perks into a useable state again? As it is right now, even if you combine the perks you are still left with only an increase of 55% on regression speed.... and considering it takes 4 seconds for 1% of regression, that's not much of a difference (that's assuming my math is right and it knocks the time down to two seconds,28 comments 1,011 views last activity

Survivor gameplay is so stale, most of the perks are situational, the good/decent ones get nerfed into the ground. With each new killer they have new mechanics for their power and addons. Survivors get... a skin with 3 mediocre perks most of the time. Survivor gameplay has been practically the same for the last 7 years, the only new thing that was added was boons... wow.

I don't know if this is intended or not, but I assumed highlighting Gens would put them on the green map, like with detectives hunch. Given the Gens highlight in Blue, and I haven't been up to date with DbD for a while, is the colour showing it wont work this way, or is it a bug or oversight?2 comments 81 views last activity

Look at what could have been: The reduction of his cake was uncalled for. It needs to be reverted. It is imperative that this happens sooner so Survivors and Killers can have more fun. The fate of the game depends on it.23 comments 3,062 views last activity

killer meta so fun with the grim embrace buff. Every game is just pop, res, grim embrace and some fourth perk which will either be regression or something for chase. Not even gonna worry about how the adren tweak will affect the game since the odds of seeing endgame with this dog ######### meta will more than likely be lower (heavily survivor sided game according to many btw 🥴)4 comments 131 views last activity

Well, just a random theory I got in mind by watching some times the latest teaser they revealed. It's a fact that BHVR always gives us a twist on what we expect from their Teasers, and that every detail matters in them, so here my theory: What if the creature we see in the "recording" is not the killer but a human distorted and manipulated by the actual killer? As long as we know from previous3 comments 161 views last activity

Recent statistics from nightlight shows that she has been far over 60 % for the last months. Current status: I personally do have issues to play against this killer as her speed boost is unpredictable and makes it hard to greed pallets. So looping is limited. She has basekit undetectable when placing a drone which is also hard to embrace as (in my rece51 comments 1,651 views last activity

I started maining him recently and every match I've had people either DC or kill themselves on hook. Why? If his power is annoying survivors just need to stay separated and he basically has no power.26 comments 1,141 views last activity

I've been keeping track of my own games as survivor, and my escape rate is 38%. BHVR may consider that number fine because it fits in with their 60/40 target, but it doesn't tell the whole story. I put the es c apes in two categories, when the killer is trying to win or when the killer is messing around/trolling/afk/or lets me escape on purpose out of pity. 43% of my escapes fall into the latter36 comments 1,672 views last activity

Taking Steam data, the player base continues to decline. I know Steam doesn't count consoles and I'm not saying dbd is dying. But why? The game is much more balanced now than 2-3 years ago, killers are very solid and viable (except for a few), there are many balanced maps (except for a few), many "broken" strategies no longer exist... In theory the player base should increase and not decrease.112 comments 4,505 views last activity

I recently had a game I had to take a call before game started. I forgot I'd pressed start to search for a game. I returned to find all gens done and all 4 survivors bobbing up and down, fast vaulting a pallet and opening and closing a locker. Must have been a good few minutes I watched them before one left and opened exit gate which had been 99'd. Why? What do you get out of that? They could19 comments 261 views last activity

So yesterday when I played survivor, I got killers hard sweating as if they were scrumming against comp teams at 10 in the morning. Most of the matches, the match was decided in the killers favour before the first gen popped mainly due to being matched with soccer moms that just discovered lithe as a perk and abandoned their sprint burst ways. Today on the other hand, MMR seems to have the p1 comments 91 views last activity

I recently came to my epiphany about how DBD worked, and that is that survivors are NOT a team. They are 4 players who individually trying to survive, but also rely on each other. This is reflected in the bloodpoints reward system, the grading system and the store page itself. I've maintained for a while that MMR is working as expected in line with what the community asked for (Prioritise queue15 comments 501 views last activity

Been playing less and less DBD and haven't fired up the game in a couple months but was pretty interested to actually play a new game mode and without all the perks and stuff.... I bet getting back to basics was refreshing. Just logged on and realized my error, it's already over. The first new game mode in what, 8 years? And it's finished in a week?!

Background Player got buffed significantly and is actually a pretty good and fun perk now. It has a very respectable use rate. However, the rest of the Tools of Torment Perks are left severely underpowered and underused. 3 of the 6 Survivor perks from the chapter sit in the top 10 least used perks overall. 2 out of 3 of the killer perks are also in the top 10 least used. All 3 are in the top 154 comments 82 views last activity

Yes, like Salt and Pepper said lets talk about sex. (Adults only.) Lets have a grown up discussion. I want to start about by saying at the end of the end this topic doesn't ultimately matter of effect the game and how anyone plays or enjoys its. But I'm kinda curious about the sexuality of the survivors. And I want to know your thoughts and figures crossed some insight from the devs. I am a h17 comments 1,381 views last activity

I just want to echo the sentiment that the teasers for this killer are really good. Leaning into the internet creepypasta aspect is doing wonders for it, especially that recent JP DBD Twitter video. Uncanny valley vibes where it obviously looks fake, but has a similar vibe as internet horror stuff. Good stuff, BHVR. I just hope the killer lives up to the hype.18 comments 2,611 views last activity

Hi just an observation but the perk balanced landing, if you’re not sprinting and just walking can you make it not activate upon drops. I mean do other survivors want those effects outside of sprinting and using it? I don’t want to be selfish in asking for it to not activate and not cause exhaustion with the other bonuses if you’re not holding sprint at the drop.3 comments 131 views last activity

I do really enjoy the new and updated stat spreads, they are super interesting, but one thing that leaps out to me is that "High MMR" isn't actually defined in any way. What percentage of players is being counted for those stats, how exclusive of a club is that? Obviously, knowing this won't change the general caveat of stats not painting the full picture, but it would be a little more illumin3 comments 121 views last activity

One simple reason...I hate when he's injured it. It's not how it is with Jane where you uncomfortable but his voice actor actually makes it sound like he is in a lot of pain the man is sad and that makes me sad. I know it sounds stupid but listen try hearing a recent survivors injured sound I'm not saying Dwight as people will say "It was long ago they didn't have all these voice actors" so liste2 comments 261 views last activity

Why was this event tome so short? Like 7 days and that's it. A one part event that has exclusive banners and badges, 2 extremely limited things at the moment. Like I was literally gone for a week and missed the entire tome. When I logged on this morning I had 1 hour to complete it and the first challenge I only got 1/10th of the way through.

Just had a game of no looping on hawkins. I just want to know what are you supposed to do when he just puts on guard on one side and him on the other? I tried leaving the loop when he was putting the guard down and it just resulted in me getting hit.1 comments 91 views last activity

Played against a bubba in Lerys map and 2 basements spawned. I've never seen that before. Is that an actual bug? Or is this some type of hack? The killer wasn't hacking during the match from what I could tell. This bubba had a basement build and their name was "Basement bubba" or something with basement in the name. Really curious because I don't think I've ever seen 2 basements spawn before in3 comments 511 views last activity

Here is my guide to save as many bloodpoints as possible, while also completing the archives, This level seems to have a total of 290k that you can save, while earning 205k . In order to complete the red path, you do not need to own any DLC. To save all of the challenges, you'll need to own Alan Wake and The Deathslinger.

I've learned one simple rule. No matter how many gens are left if it's down to two people and one is down stop repair the killer most likely will pick them up and hook them or if the killer for whatever reason is slugging still the same thing if I'm the one being slugged I'll of course recover for the BP but after that I'm crawling to a corner because I want to bleed out to waste the killer's ti4 comments 141 views last activity

The new cooldown movement speed feels more fair towards the Survivors, but the biggest update is this little piece of text: Increased Initial Turn rate adjustment duration to 1 second (was 0.75 sec) This is huge! Thanks to those additional 0.25 seconds you can actually do way more stuff around loops! It also helps during overdrive due to the increased movement speed!

Whenever a thread about tunnelling comes up, usually from the perspective of acknowledging it as a problem and attempting to come up with a fix, there's a particular rhetorical trick that some people will use. I have some issues with this trick, and I'd like to lay out why I think it's misleading and unhelpful.

After I hook a survivor if there is another survivor that's injured far away, which there usually always is with Legion. I use my power to rush to that survivor cancel my power and down them.

This game mode has succesfully allowed us to witness DBD's issues in an amplified manner, as someone mentioned here on the forums. With multiple discussions being formed regarding the unpleasant experiences people have encountered, one thing seems to repeat the most - tunneling.
