I don't play survivor very much, but the few times I do, the hatch is a huge relief--it lets me know that in the not-so-unlikely chance that my team is a total flop, I still have a fighting chance. I play killer much more often, though, and I don't think there's any sort of similar consolation prize for killers. Would it be necessary for killers to have one? What would a killer hatch look like?51 comments 811 views last activity

So this teabagger that thought they were getting away got downed and then I hit them down and they were standing again I'm like ######### 3 different times. Then I get disconnected from host at that very given time, no internet drop no where else and at that time is little strange? I got no points for the 3 ppl I downed nor the 180 sec I had to chase survivors being the huntress this blows. This3 comments 131 views last activity

Title. Playing during the event felt so much more rewarding. Bad match? Oh well, I got a full Rift Fragment out of it, two if I'm lucky, and I'll get even MORE next match! Now that it's over, a single bad match makes me go "why even bother?", especially since I've finished the Tome challenges pertaining to Ghostface and any others that are reasonable to complete without throwing.8 comments 301 views last activity

No one wants to sit there and stare at the ceiling after their character dies. As soon as you die you should be taken out of the game. It's a waste if time and it always has been.18 comments 331 views last activity

If this is so, then why when i'm cloaked and coming up behind people hidden and behind objects they start to run when i'm out of line of sight? I never read I was undetectable until now, I just figured I was hidden but they could still hear heart beat because they all start running b4 hand? Ty guys..20 comments 801 views last activity

Every time I get one of these TRASH dailies to have to play as this useless character. Why is it you need to shoot AND hit 5 times BTW? When other easier killer powers have dailies with 3 uses sometimes. SO OFTEN what looks like a DIRECT shot to me is a clean MISS. I am so tired of it. I know they gave this super weak killer a huge nerf awhile back but has there been MORE? I am missing on PALLE4 comments 161 views last activity

(Before I start, note that this isn't a post to whine about Survivors--okay, maybe a little about some subtypes--because I play survivor mainly 4/5 of the time. This post is about why the ratio isn't more even.) So, this has been building for a while, but every now and then, you just have one of THOSE nights. Levelled up the Clown today, thought he seemed fun to give a try. Brand new killer. Ga17 comments 302 views last activity

So, decide to play some killer this morning - long queues so MMR was a bit borked I'm guessing. Get a trio, all extremely good with their comp stuff in their profiles. Like...hard to even get a single hit on them good, perfectly running loops, not falling for any mindgames, nailing gens out in minutes etc. Now, most of the time I'd be up for it - just to see how I can do.

I grew up in the 90's where I was subjugated to many horror films not sure how, i ended up watching these movies but they always seem to be board casting from my screen.When my dad brought my playstation in 1996 ,we had the demo games, which me and my brother played non stop. So 1997 comes around, i had no idea they had horror games on PS .I go to pick out another game with my father and there i6 comments 111 views last activity

Hatch exists solely to prevent the game from turning into a rule-breaking hiding fest at 1 survivor left. However, in its current form, it is bad for both sides. On the survivors’ side, it still incentivizes breaking the rules by hiding until everyone else dies anyways. Something that can lead to a ban, because it takes the game hostage and is refusal to participate in normal gameplay. On the k4 comments 91 views last activity

Hello everyone, idk if im posting in the right place or of this was already suggested, but i really wish we could skip the dying animation as its really long before we can get into a new match... Who else agrees?? Would that be possible??5 comments 92 views last activity

At least at the old ruin undying tinkerer days killers had to chase u to make ruin effective and also they were still cleansable. Now it's a fest of detecting a 3 gen in the first 30 seconds of the game and protecting it with the broken kicking meta, which u can't cleanse and is not earned cause u don't have to get a down. good job BHVR, it's really fun getting 10 games in a row with killers us21 comments 591 views last activity

I know this is a little late as I just got back from being banned but, here are my thoughts about Knight. I was one of those people that said Knight was the absolute worst killer when he released as his power was very clunky, his guards would not spot anybody, and they would get stuck a lot and sometimes they still do. However, I gave the Knight a chance and played him non stop for a couple we2 comments 61 views last activity

What is the best way to get your team to unhook you? Most games I get hooked once and no one comes to save me and I die from one down which is usually due to a game malfunction like Deadhard not working. What does not work is unhooking other players hoping they repay the favor. I've tried both twitching and grabbing the hook while hooked, but neither seems to get players to notice and come resc3 comments 71 views last activity

or snuff out a boon totem with the guard from knight? They can break pallets or walls but they can't interact with boons or hatch? Also cannot open the exit gate with my power? It feels pretty limited if you ask me.1 comments 41 views last activity

Big picture question : Why do I need to tunnel to win and how do we prevent it? The answer is : survivors need to be less efficient at finishing generators & killers need to be less efficient at killing survivors. Mathematically there is nothing wrong with the survivors having two gens done if one survivor has lost two health states. That is a bare minimum that is fair for the killer. But th145 comments 3,369 views last activity

In DBD there’s 3 major problems with the game Tunneling, Camping and Gen regression. Survivors hate tunneling and camping and killers hate having to run gen regression to deal with the pressure. It feels almost mandatory to run these perks. I came up with a idea to fix the issue at its core without changing the base game to much and will adjust the perks accordingly. Here’s my fix Tunneling,23 comments 372 views last activity

I always see "most survivors arent that good" used for reasons of so many balance changes in the game and I dont get it. Sure there are alot of bad players in DBD, there is in most games you just dont tend to notice because they have a far better SBMM system in play and you wont have bad survivors verse a good killer etc. But even if theres more bad players (like any game) why does that mean s83 comments 1,723 views last activity

Played for a couple hours earlier today and all was good then had three matches in a row where I was getting horrible rubberbanding but all the player’s connections were showing as fine. Checked my internet and all was fine. Now it’s been a few hours and I’ve just tried a killer match as I didn’t want to risk losing any pups on survivor and it is still happening.

The Cenobite, a killer I often only play to knock out his daily and if I wanna be a real nuisance to the survivors. Well today I was playing some survivor with my daughter and we ran into a Cenobite match, here is my story.. So the match begins hitting up a gen and we get a good idea where the Puzzle Box is just before finishing said gen and getting ready to break the chain hunt....

Seriously, the Perk is not fine. And I mean the Perk and as a Boon. Ok, let's just say this: A Perk that grants entire team a "double-buffed" Self-Care, due to it using 50% Self-Care instead of 35% one, that grants a Healing boost similar to Botany Knowledge, stacks with Med-Kits, unlike Botany, it doesn't have efficiency penalty. Would've been more managable if it was one-time use, right?10 comments 212 views last activity

I opened a thread pointing out the bug about a month ago and I thought the perk wasn't working for everybody. However, I have seen some people using it, mostly streamers and youtuber. I talked with some other players on discord and they said the perk is fine. But why is it not working for me? This is a game I had today.

It seems like every other match, at least one person disconnects. And it is becoming an increasingly demoralizing factor for the game. Simply put, it makes the game NOT fun. What more can be done to mitigate DCs? It seems like the current system of progressive timeout penalties isn't much of a deterrent; if it were, we wouldn't be seeing as many DCs as we are.

Been running the perk the past few days as part of a meme build but it's actually been not bad. It protects from the eruption brine meta and lets other survivors know what gen is being worked on. It's funny because I've seen a few killers waste so much time staring at the gen waiting for it to time out while a gen or two pops in the distance. It also combos very well with blast mine and wiretap4 comments 131 views last activity

For me, it honestly has to be Mr. Wesker. The slowly progressing intensity of the music as he makes his way towards you can make for some tense and frightening moments, and his exuberant, loud, and banger of a chase music is always enjoyable to listen to as you're dodging bounds and forward knife slashes (especially with the accompanying heartbeat, providing additional intensity and thrill).

I really enjoy solo queue games. I find it peaceful and zen. I regularly meet phenomenal survivors who are often better than my SWF teamates. However, when I play SWF, I invariably have a friend, who is not necessarily even as knowledgeable about the game as I am, who basically tries to micromanage and dictate my every move during the game like they are the coach of me.

Seriously, who in their right mind would create a daily like this? Worse than this only Nemesis original daily. First, I don't know if the devs overestimate the Knight's guards too much, but this mission isn't realistic to the way he plays. Most of the time, on a hunt, the guards simply push the survivor towards you so you can get the hit. They are not2 comments 111 views last activity

I think this would be unique for a killer. Let's say he has the ability to reverse time in certain areas around the map with devices he has. He is a time traveling killer.

I tend to find a disconnect between how long most people want chases between the killer and survivor to last and how short chases realistically need to be for the killer to have a chance of winning a match. ie how long people want chases to last currently would mean the killer would lose.

i love using builds you dont usually see in matches personally, and one of them is a head on build. i feel its the most fun exhaustion perk, and just a fun build to use. however, it kinda sucks that if im playing it without friends, i have no way of telling my team that im using it, let alone which locker im in unless they see me get into said locker and assume i have it.
