Like flashlight and using add-one Odd Bulb and Intense Halogen, will the killer's blindness last longer, or will diminishing returns affect it and reduce its value?1 comments 63 views last activity

I haven't seen anyone bring this up, but am I the only one who feels like “Play While You Wait” isn't working right now? The EST time on the Killer's screen shows, for example, 15 minutes; I've played 3–4 games as a Survivor, and the counter has clocked over 40 minutes of wait time. To find a game as a killer, all I can do is wait. In previous 2v8 editions, everything worked fine—sometimes I’d ge3 comments 67 views last activity

I’m glad that the devs have tried to add fun/interesting things to the survivor side in 2v8 mode. However, despite their efforts, the killer queue times are worse than ever, which tells us that either way more people are playing killer or way fewer people are playing survivor than ever. I’ve been trying to figure out why survivor side popularity seems to be at an all-time low. It’s not beca44 comments 919 views last activity

Title. I don't know if it's the denuvo thing or something else, but it takes my keyboard several seconds to respond to any input now. I play survivor with a controller, but I play killer with KB/M and now killer is unplayable for me.26 comments 1,829 views last activity

I've been testing Surveillance recently and I'm curious how other Killer players feel about it. On paper, I really like what the perk is supposed to do. A regressing generator is shown in white, and when Survivors stop the regression it turns yellow for 16 seconds. The problem I'm running into is that 16 seconds can be very easy to miss during normal Killer gameplay. If I'm outside of chase an17 comments 307 views last activity

Honestly, not hyperbole, serious question. This invoking salt thing is such an absolute curveball of a timewasting mechanic. Idk who pitched that particular idea or why literally anyone else agreed and thought it would be a beneficial addition to 2v8. Compounding that by making one of the challenges to place 10 salts? Encouraging people to waste time rooting through chests to do this absolute gri58 comments 1,768 views last activity

I find it slightly odd as I would have from a technical standpoint, having both killers the same character would have made power management a little bit easier as they could both use their props (Trapper traps, Xeno tunnels etc) without much issue. I kinda hope in future iterations of 2v8 they change it.12 comments 343 views last activity

I am genuinely baffled by the decision to buff Judgment after the previous patch. Judgment was already in a good spot! I think buffing Divine Light once again was just too much, 0.6 seconds was already in the perfect spot, but 0.8 is way too much. The curve on Non zealous mode and the exile rescue changes are good and can stay as is but the curve buff on zealous mode needs to be reverted asap, or231 comments 4,751 views last activity

Anyone else play while you wait for killer in 2v8 a server error happens an you have to wait 45 mins again?3 comments 60 views last activity

Previously the devs have said that the reason that the curve window was shortened from the ptb was because they made consistent. For people that don't know, on the ptb you had a longer curve window in zealous if you cast it instantly, and you had less curve time the longer you charged it. When Judgement came to the live game they said they changed the curve window to be the same no matter how lon7 comments 193 views last activity

2v8 it's super fun, but Nemesis zombies ruin it, it's like I'm playing a PvE game, not a PvP one, it gets worse as there are less generators to make, and less survivors left, depending on the match at one point its basically makes doing generators impossible there are multiple ways to make the zombies more interactive and fun, as it is now I think a nerf on 2v8 zombies should help8 comments 200 views last activity

Many skills have long since become obsolete. Now, those skills have finally been enhanced and updated. I hope this helps players who prefer to enjoy the game rather than compete. This is a horror game, not a competitive game. It should be about both players having fun, rather than sacrificing the experience of one side.0 comments 54 views last activity

Ptb owners, do you know if they fixed the bug where you’d m1 while using snug? Was a massive problem when redirecting snug leading to losing a lot of distance. In the patch it wasn’t mentioned in the fixed bugs or known issues list.3 comments 58 views last activity

I am wondering if it is just me or has anyone else noticed any bugs. My first bug is when I click que up as killer and then play as you wait survivor, I will end my survivor match and my estimated wait time for killer somehow cut in half. That seems weird but then it as an example it also shows I was expecting 20 minutes but I am now on 28 minutes and from what I read it is a bug they have not ad3 comments 251 views last activity

It’s about time we get some perk changes, it took way to many years for an update like this and we should get something like this yearly. I’m glad bhvr finally looked at some older and beginner perks like distressing and This is not happening and actually have them some buffs (and nerfs to other perks). However there are some perks that would have deserved some attention like Jason’s perks who0 comments 43 views last activity

Ok so I am happy to trade Thrill for Shoulder, that's fine I guess. They're both strong & I'll be honest Shoulder doesn't see that much play anyway except in those unique situations or in certain swfs more to the point. It's fine to let this exchange happen so that two strong perks each side have been made very much weaker than they were. All that said though, WHY THE STAKE OUT REWORK!?

In my opinion, Dissolution was one of those perks that was just there. A good perk, not bad, not overpowered, just good if you needed it. It did its job just fine, was easy to counter and easy to get value with. Edit: I am ONLY talking about the timing window nerf. Not the activation means via special and normal attacks. The 20-second time window was a perfect balance between being too long and5 comments 191 views last activity

I figured I'd make my own post since the thoughts here are a little rambling to be on anyone else's thread. So, Steadfast's preview has some rather worrying elements to it, and I've been thinking about how to potentially prevent the perk from being a huge problem once it's actually hit the game. The sticking point here is that the perk has two problems, and one of them is both far easier and far15 comments 667 views last activity

The Judgement literally destroys so many builds, items, offerings, and perks in this game. Builds have become extremely limited with the only builds I have found to be decent are the gen rush builds and healing builds, especially with skill checks being more frequent. I don't care how strong this killer is in a chase, what makes them awful is limiting playstyles. Just to name a few perks that206 comments 6,321 views last activity

don't have much to say about one of my favourite perks, but darn, people really don't value altruism, huh? This perk used to basically just be about auras. The 10% heal was merely a cherry on top but nobody was using this perk so BHVR turned this into Old Botany with 30% heals. Now we are just straight up Botany at 50% speed. Will people use Botany 2: Electric Boogaloo now? Or is this perk sti4 comments 110 views last activity

it is sad to see that survivor barely got changes. most of the perk changes are for T1 and T2 values and considered it a "change" this on top of all the annoying killers being released i think it is time to only ever return for 2v8 and even then it got ruined by 1 survivor item…0 comments 83 views last activity

Like the title says… I refuse to install Denuvo on my machine because I'm not an unpaid guinea pig, just an occasional paying Pig player. I got hit with the request to install Denuvo last week.

Killer ques are long and you keep finding odd ways to just nerf the funnest surviour stuff. This is a absurd change, you have giga nerfed the perk for no reason. Ive seen people have concerns over hook shuffling which is a valid concern. But nobody. NOBODY was asking for people to be broken rather then exposed.

Obviously Nurse has been S tier since her launch 10 years ago, and she is way too powerful in comparison to a lot of the roster. However, I'm not entirely sure how to even nerf her without her feeling awful to play and possibly being terrible. Many people have suggested removing her ability to see auras, but while I think that might nerf casual Nurse players, I think Nurse mains would be pretty77 comments 1,279 views last activity

Hi everyone, First off, I want to say thank you to the development team for your continuous work and for pushing out the fixes for Wesker. However, it’s been quite some time since the major Wesker changes in Patch 9.5.0. While it is great to see some of the massive issues addressed, a significant portion of his mechanical toolkit remains heavily bugged or clunky. Wesker Community would greatly15 comments 1,387 views last activity

TL;DR: Ever since the 9.5.0 PTB over 5 months ago, Wesker’s power has been full of severe mechanical bugs. NO techs were removed, but his entire movement has been broken. Most of BetaHub reports have been stuck "Under Investigation" for over 2 months with 0 updates. I'm attaching a mashup video of these if you don't want to go through each report separately.10 comments 184 views last activity

Hello everyone, In DBD lore, the Entity usually wipes or alters Survivors' memories over time to keep them compliant. However, for Tristan and David, the Entity chooses to do the exact opposite. With the expansion of DbD's original lore, I would love to propose a new Survivor concept that ties directly into David King’s backstory: Tristan , David’s ex-boyfriend and piano player from his pa2 comments 78 views last activity

Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest a new Quality of Life (QoL) feature that I think would be super helpful for both sides: an inventory filter or search option for Offerings and Items. Currently, if you want to use a specific offering (for example, an Anniversary Cake or a Hatch Blueprint), you have to manually click through each character's loadout to see who actually has it in their inventory.0 comments 22 views last activity

The most noticeable things here: STB already had so many arbitrary limitations making it mid. Now it’s just straight buns. Why nerf Windows and FMA? Those are like two of the most balanced perks in the game. Windows is what taught me basic tile knowledge. It’s one of the best perks in the game for beginners.

So how does everybody feel about the Invoking salts in 2v8? Is it a waste of time, overpowered, or just right? Could it be made into a future item or Invocation perk?

this is what I get for trying to play a m1 killer nowadays…. there was a TTV in there that roasted me in their twitch and said some *unpleasant things that are not appropriate for this forum post.

I probably am going to get heaps of hate or push back on this subject but I don’t understand how the wraith is allowed to be on 2v8, countless times he has body blocked me up against a gen or cornered me while being “invisible” then hooked me.. or how nemesis has his little zombies running around.. gun slinger with his gun but the plague isn’t allowed to be one of the killer options.. to say she4 comments 154 views last activity

It's really fun when you wait half an hour in the queue for Killer in 2v8 only for your duo to be AFK the entire time and ruin the trial. I'd take a bot Killer over that. Can the devs implement a feature that can remove a Killer after a certain amount of time of doing nothing? I mean this mode has already worn out its welcome massively but if we're going to have it every five minutes anyway some5 comments 173 views last activity

Thoughts on the new update increasing the frequency of QTEs Repairing generators should naturally involve more QTEs. Healing should also trigger more QTEs. I support updates that increase QTEs like this; it can also boost the usage rate of certain skills. But you can't just do it without saying anything. Making stealthy changes isn't right. Also, the frequency of QTEs is i6 comments 211 views last activity

Every time I try to queue with my friend for 2v8 as killers our party times out after about 30 min or kicks one of us from the lobby, when there is always a 30+ min queue. This makes us have to start the timer over when this happens, leaving us trying to queue for hours and getting no matches (they refuse to play surv games while we wait) and we just get 0 playtime together. Super disappointed.2 comments 107 views last activity

The one size fits all models for male and female survivors doesn't really make sense when we have licensed survivors that don't fit them. Sigourney Weaver is 5'11 and Gaten Matarazzo is 5'3 I believe so Dustin being taller than Ripley is honestly goofy. I know it might look a little weird with the skeletons we have but I don't think specialized skeletons for licensed survivors is a crazy idea.4 comments 155 views last activity
