What I mean is, why do some survivors go around the map cleansing all the totems when they know there is a good chance one of their teammates has CoH or another boon perk? It's frustrating going to an area you know there should be a totem, and you find a pile of broken sticks and bones. So why do they do it?19 comments 741 views last activity

You see lobby with at least 3+ items. As soon as you hit someone and they drop the item, I noticed some Survivors will start to drop the items on spots (I saw the dropped items on the floor, etc.) There is no way unless they directly saw you hitting someone with M1 and item that they will hide item themselfs suddenly unless they know this perk is in the play (called out).2 comments 91 views last activity

Do you camp gens with it? Do you use it in chase (forcing Survivors to run away)? Do you use it to denie an area of the map or something like main building?34 comments 751 views last activity

I have been in a casual position at my job for 12 years now. I am a huge nerd, all I do is workout 1 hour a day, play videogames, go to work. This game is in such a bad state , its curing my videogame addiction. I have been working 60 hour weeks up from 30 because its so busy, my boss has noticed how hard I have been working and yesterday I was offered a fulltime position, with a pay increase,7 comments 241 views last activity

I tried to get some adepts in the 6.5.0 patch, but no adepts were given when I got a 4k. Is it still bugged? If so, I won't try for the adepts for the next week(s). Thanks!4 comments 111 views last activity

We’ve got the Legion and the Ghostface rework (those were pretty good btw) but where’s the twins? The twins are probably the most creative killer that BHVR has ever created. But, I know many people feel that Twins are neglected. Whenever the twins have a game breaking bug (we just had one recently) it takes longer to be patched than most killers. I know that coming out with a new killer, map rewa4 comments 211 views last activity

Context I got bored and decided to try out ChatGPT. And I was messing around and had it generate a Killer and some perks for the Killer in DBD. Also because Im dealing with a power outage (got a generator running) and my internet connection is not stable enough to play DBD (there was a huge storm and tornado warning but it's over now), so Im trying to find things to pass time.

I’ve played so many matches in solo Q with other survivors who bring medkits and then as soon as they’re injured, they run to me on a gen and want me to jump off the gen I’m on to heal them. Why? Now I understand in some cases you may have depleted your medkit and need to be healed but I’m talking at 5 gens when youre on your first hit or first hook. You obviously haven’t used your medkit yet.26 comments 811 views last activity

Is there a balance team at BHvR? They should release their MMR. LoL has a balance team consisting of mostly highly ranked players (diamond/masters so top 2%). This means that the people who balance the game are very passionate and knowledgeable about it. What is the average rating of the balance team at BHvR? Do they select for these things?93 comments 3,065 views last activity

Losing a hard won hook and just not being able to see is a miserable experience. Is there a Killer who likes being blinded at pallets? I'll wait for heavy flashlight users who say they are "easy to dodge."91 comments 2,883 views last activity

This post is gonna be a short one, I think they're stupid. Everybody shouldn't be sent to a map because one person wants to play on it, that's dumb. I love getting sent to the same map multiple times in a row because somebody brought the same offering, such good design behaviour. Now if I were to change them, I'd either flat out remove them, or I'd make them to where they'd decrease your chance7 comments 151 views last activity

Take out Overcharge for Dead Man's Switch sometimes and you have current DBD! I can win without this build like with my Weaker I use Sloppy Butcher/Clauropphobia/Unneverving Presence/Distressing and other non conventional but good killer builds with different killers but I get no where the consistency that I do with the build mentioned in the title!

Every time I start the game, I just can't play, it keeps giving error 8.024. I already uninstalled and installed again, I don't have any VPN, I already cleared the steam cache memory, and nothing happened, it's still the same error, how can I solve it?0 comments 61 views last activity

I think a lot of the killer powers have become worse (and therefore boring to play) than they previously were over time due to various nerfs and survivor buffs. Maybe a chapter dedicated to revamping the killers seen as underperforming/boring? I think the idea should be that each killer has 2 abilities instead of one. I think this is better overall that just changing addons or perks, it'd really0 comments 73 views last activity

Killer: The Warden A killer who once worked as a prison guard in one of the most highest rated prisons when it came to violence. Constant riots, violent inmates, and poor working conditions turned The Warden from a run of the mill guard into one of the most brutal guards at the prison, to the point even the other guards tended to stay away from him. During a night patrol, The Warden noticed t2 comments 131 views last activity

It’s been mentioned repeatedly but I have yet to see anyone on team BHVR respond so imma ask again. Is anything being done to make the pip system more fair? Just logged on and my first match was with a Legion. The other three survivors all stayed together taking hits while I did one full gen and found and removed the hex totem. After one hook, one survivor got downed again and suicided on hook.1 comments 61 views last activity

Back in October of 2022 I made a post about some data collection I'd done, with well over 200 games recorded. Since then I've taken a break but have been looking at starting again with a larger set of variables but am not sure what constitutes as relevant info. Any ideas?

So I was thinking about how when you're playing killer you only see the survivors and if they're injured. But you don't see how many books the survivor has. I'm a survivor main and I've seen killers forget how many hooks they have so if the killer would be able to see how many hooks the survivor has it would lower the chances of tunneling and would help new players be able to balance their gamepl3 comments 81 views last activity

...On what is going to be in the "DBD Movie?" Original post BHVR made: https://deadbydaylight.com/news/dead-by-daylight-movie/ Yes, BHVR themselves released a post signifying the collaboration with Atomic Monster and Blum House to work on a potential DBD movie. This being said, a lot is in the air, and we know literally nothing about what is going on behind the scenes. So I think it would be25 comments 481 views last activity

Even though the de-pipping threads have been a staple in the "recent discussions" tab I'm not aware of the issue ever having been addressed by the devs (/a mod relaying their knowledge). Could we please change that? There is an abundance of players pointing out that de-pipping isn't healthy for the game since more often than not de-pipping is entirely out of the players control and leads to frust10 comments 181 views last activity

As you know, Resident Evil 4 Remake will be launched this month. So, hows likely we will another collab happen? I feel like Capcom are very generous with the usage of their IP so far in term of scope and character.

Hi people of the Fog. I didn't want to make this post, but ultimately I feel as though it is the only course of action I can take given what has transpired with this game over the course of the last year. Some of you may take offense to what I am about to say, and for that I am sorry (skill issue). I hope that with this post I can raise awareness about this glaring problem that has no doubt sho7 comments 691 views last activity

This is my favorite killer just because of the movie and the lord tied into it, and I love the aesthetic but OMG the amount of times I hit every single chain hook and it gives me 0 value because there’s walls everywhere is so annoying. and don’t even get me started on if you hit your chain hook on a survivor who is opening the gate, they aren’t even cancelled out of it, they can just still d15 comments 371 views last activity

Not sure what I would like to see on a DbD movie... but here's something that I think would make the fans happy and be overwhelming for people who never played the game: New survivor protagonist, we get some time to know them and their life on Earth Protagonist suffers some kind of terrible fate, abducted by the Entity moments before death Protagonist wakes up on the campfire with some quiet0 comments 51 views last activity

Let me start off with saying that I am a killer main, (Blight, Spirit) but have played a ton more survivor over the last few months. When the new hud update came out for survivor it was a welcome change to buff solo queue. Solo queue needed it. But now that it has been out a month or so I've noticed some things that have me worried. First, for my region killer queue has the incentive for most of26 comments 1,251 views last activity

I ran an experiment within 50 matches and these are my results! Link to paper The conclusion: No. Don’t run this perk. On average, this perk does more harm than good. Yes, it has the potential of being really useful, but it just doesn’t cut it. Killers don’t run enough slow down perks/addon to healing for this to be worth while. You might have a match like #30 where I got 12 heals against a 311 comments 1,232 views last activity

Sometimes the BP bonus is at 100% for one of the sides. When I queue up it can take up to a minute to find a game. If I switch to the other side, I can get into a game in seconds. Such incentivizes are supposed to balance the population for each side, so I think it would stand to reason that the side with the BP bonus has shorter queue times because less players. But sometimes this doesn't ap2 comments 1,711 views last activity

I’ve been playing Survivor more than I have killer recently and It’s been nothing constant toxicity match to match. I get tunnelled out and camped which okay it’s a strategy I guess but getting that every single match when you didn’t do anything toxic is not right. This match I just recently had was the last straw and it really sucks because I actually like this game.. I was going against a demo71 comments 2,122 views last activity

Good luck trying to get me to play 90% of the killer cast without corrupt. Some other examples I could think of is Bamboozle on billy, wraith, and bubba. Enduring on Legion. Save on slinger, doc, spirit. Iron maiden on huntress and trickster. Etc. Now that I think about it I really don't like using a variety of perks, like at all.48 comments 691 views last activity

There are no lack of threads complaining about the game so I wanted to do something different. This is a game I had last night that was just plain fun. Survivor on RPD, not sure which wing. Against a wraith. I really only play solo. Wraith downed a Kate and hooked close to me. I unhooked and he came back. Kate took the bt hit and we both ran. Wraith tunneled Kate.

I say this as someone who's been with the game since 2017, but right now feels like the point in time when I've been the most frustrated with the game. It would be one thing if it were just me being frustrated playing survivor or killer, but it just feels like playing both sides is frustrating in their own way now.

Hey, I was just in a game with some streamers, and they did something weird that must be a bug and prevented me from getting a hook. Got my down and was walking to a hook. This survivor walks up to the hook for a Sabo, but I was too close and knew he wouldn't make it. However he simply started the kneeling animation and the got up and left immediately. He did not finish the sabotage. However4 comments 151 views last activity

I do not understand so looping a killer for 2-5 gens, healing, double pipping etc but getting facecamped after means mmr goes down, so worse teammates and harder games like can anyone explain how the hell this was ever considered something smarter than a dead squirrel could come up with? the game literally rewards ######### survivors who hide all match and do not have skill while puni35 comments 1,242 views last activity

I wanted to stir up the Tools of Torment discussion again. Because the absolute hivemind of hatred pushed towards it was extremely unfair. the only genuine glowing bad things about it were the Mori being awkward, the wall break animation looking a little goofy and the lore being mediocre at best. and may i say: VISUALS AND ART IS COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE.

I just had to get a new tv. My last broke. This is a much better tv. Why does changing my pc display size affect DbD. It’s recommended at 300%, but this game looks messed up. Others do NOT. I changed to 100% display size . Now DbD looks great, but everything on the pc is too small now I started on steam a few years ago and had graphics issues. The game looked terrible compared to my ps4. Someone0 comments 61 views last activity
