James Sunderland in Dead by Daylight is starting to feel outdated and could really use a rework, especially the face. It’s not just that it “looks off”, it’s that we’re talking about a Legendary skin, and those are supposed to have a higher level of quality. This isn’t just any character, he’s the main protagonist of Silent Hill 2. I understand that James was added to DBD in 2021, but now we ha1 comments 304 views last activity

As someone who mainly plays survivor, I feel like what I do hasn't changed a lot in the past couple of years. But when I started trying to play killer again after a couple years of not playing it, that role has changed an awful lot. For the worse. I mean, it's bad. Really bad. Everything from there geing five million extra pallets on the map to gens flying by if I take two extra seconds to chase8 comments 291 views last activity

Hey. Just wanted to know if devs are planning to increase BP gain? I mean for new players its very hard to start to get the meta perks etc. Currently we have 42 killers and 52 survivors which is crazy amount. I understand that its not necessary to prestige most of survivors, BUT cant say it about killers. Any plans regarding BP? Anyone knows? Don't mention events please.2 comments 61 views last activity

Has there been a YouTube video on slugging billy or something? I keep getting matched with killers who slug at 5 gens, like that's the goal of the game. Anyone else getting them? I've just started going AFK now, cause trying to deal with that in solo queue is a nightmare.57 comments 1,011 views last activity

I thought about this when theorizing about a brutal Pyramid Head build centering around using Hex: Third Seal, in which one could send a survivor to a cage of torment and potentially never be found until the blindness is removed. Then, I learnt that key killer-object auras are NOT hidden by blindness, basically nullifying what could have been a game-changing threat posed by the debuff, and I can'7 comments 211 views last activity

For those of you who don't know, beHaviour is planning on adding a new update to deal with "Problematic Stacking Values". The sad part is, the current way that it's implemented doesn't even properly address the problem. In cases where the 2nd perk only adds a tiny amount, even that tiny amount will get nerfed massively, even if it's nowhere in the problem39 comments 9,794 views last activity

I’m actually at the point where I don’t understand what the anti camp system is supposed to be doing anymore. Just had a match where I get hooked, killer “leaves” for like 5 seconds, realizes no one is immediately there, and then just hovers the area the entire time. Not close enough to fully trigger anything meaningful, but close enough that nobody can realistically get a safe save without trad10 comments 251 views last activity

so what incentive do killer mains have to not slug at this point? Like fast tracks existence alone is a valid excuse enough to just start slugging all game every game. Gens already go really fast and theres no real viable counter towards fast track so why shouldnt killers slug at this point?45 comments 501 views last activity

Made an account just to expose these AI cheaters. This ai cheater was in my game, can't believe they even make their name including the word "cheats" for advertising.

I recently came up with this whole concept and the Rookie fits so well with the whole survivor concept. I also love Halo and DBD so it would be so cool. I included all the backstory and perks/abilities for both survivor and killer. The Rookie.pdf1 comments 12 views last activity

I started my DBD account on steam and wanted to cross it with PlayStation because I have a ps portal and wanna play on the go. I linked Botha counts and turned on cross progression, adding both, and even got some charm on the new PlayStations count. But the ps account didn’t add anything of my stuff. No prestige’s I earned, dlcs, skins nothing. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!1 comments 31 views last activity

If I'm not mistaken, recently, someone from Behavior said that it's not in the company's interest to turn DbD into a competitive game, they kinda like it the way it is, more casual. (I just can't recall who said that, but I'm not mistaken, it was an interview with 2 people.) But is "casual" the correct word to define the DbD of nowadays?

Favouriting: allows you to favourite add-ons and offerings so when using the autospending feature it will ignore it's regular pattern to go prioritise a favourited add-on / offering they will be prioritised in the order they were favourited Universal Offerings: survivor offerings bought on one survivor should be available on all su4 comments 41 views last activity

IDK if it's just me but I've stayed playing in dbd for 7 years now cause of new content and Build Variety but now with Diminishing returns coming Meta perks will be even more common and off meta and meme builds will now just be useless and that's what helped kept the game fresh for me and I'm geussing others too.

Between literal cheaters, to the people in this community BHVR is not doing enough to police it. If I have a bad game whether it's on killer my team mate/ opposition when tilted will take their anger outside of the game. The SHEER amount of times that I had to clean my profile of horrendous comments or had my auto mod catch them saying slurs on my stream is crazy.

We need an ETA, guys. The cheaters are running rampant. Ever since Self-Preservation got "reworked", I've been using this perk, and 5 out of 10 matches, Killers "magically" find me in the most unsuspected places ever, after hooking a survivor, after kicking a gen, while my perk is still active and hiding my aura, grunts of pain, marks and blood stains.

While playing a match today, the thought occurred to me, “What if there was a throwable Fog Vial?” I love how the Fog Vial can mask our sound and scratch marks, but given that the fog vial centers on where the survivor was when they released it, even if you release it to obscure the killer’s vision while far away, they’ll still know a survivor was nearby.

I think we should be able to see what killer we may be facing in killer lobby before entering a match. There's alot of people with phobias, like vomiting, doctors causing seizures to some, clown, dredge nightfall, etc. I don't know if they will ever put a option to turn certain stuff off in the menu setting but if not, I really do think seeing the killer name (example, the spirit right beside the19 comments 351 views last activity

What's wrong with you? I just had a girl crash out because I went to the bathroom during because I knew I wasn't going to find the hatch before the Kate that was left.

If there is one horror game that stands out, it's Dead Space. I played all horror games and nothing scared me more than a bunch of necromorphs and total darkness with the best and the most creepiest sounds to date. Easily we can get USG Ishimura map, with Isaac Clark as the survivor and a bunch of legendary USG Kellion crewmate skins.

a pain point for me is springtrap because he feels lacklustre. I have a great idea that could buff him more! so hears what i am thinking, when you throw your axe away he gains a 10% break speed increase and his lunge is increased by 20% and same with his lunge speed, i feel like that would make him better in chase with out over doing it4 comments 91 views last activity

I literary had a survivor duo throw an absolute fit today in endgame chat and later in steam chat cause one of them (the obsession) died at 7 hooks vs an endgame build with remember me on pig. When I pointed out that it's kind of the point to have the obsession dead in endgame cause of the perk, I got a long essay on how it's not about the perks but about dirty playstyles.

Let me be clear: I’m not saying survivors are at fault here. But let’s look at the scenario. The killer chases one survivor while the other three each work on a generator. If the chased survivor has decent skills—and maybe some luck with map RNG—the first chase often determines whether the killer will win the game or not as this will help him get pressure if he can hook someone. And still, surv16 comments 313 views last activity

Before you downvote me into the dirt, please do hear me out - I've no interest in ye olden us vs. them arguments. That being said, having looked into the recent arguments for pro-slugging which baffled me so much, I did hear some compelling arguments. Ultimately, they boil down to a lack of incentives or reasons for a killer to actually hook a survivor. To the most common point, most hook perk33 comments 502 views last activity

I just had an idea I wanted to drop out here. My idea is showing in the lobby before the game starts, a button that marks you as a "tryhard" that game, to show that you are going to take seriously so other can agree or not. I think this is solution to the different queues that other games have because it would be a pact between all the players in that single lobby.

I was just wondering if it would be possible for androids from the aliens franchise to be brought in as survivor legendaries for Ripley someday? Such as Bishop or Analee Call.
