JK, JUST FIND A REAL SOLUTION TO CAMPING AND TUNNELING17 comments 382 views last activity

Was debating this with somebody elsewhere than the forums. The wiki claims that at 8 stacks, the cooldown duration is 1.62 seconds. Which fits the maths if STBFL is reducing the total duration of the attack cooldown: 2.7 x (1.0 - 0.4) = 1.62 seconds But I do not 100% trust fandom wikis, as while DBD's wiki has been reliable, I can't seem to find any source for where they got their data from (i.9 comments 211 views last activity

So I played on Stadia before for a long time and managed to level up some characters. Now I got a pc that can run dead by daylight and I installed it on steam. I linked both my steam Account and my stadia Account to the behavior Account but I don't have the progress now on Steam. I would unlink it and try again but I don't want to wait 60 days for another try. Does someone have some tips?0 comments 11 views last activity

Lately I've been struggling and pretty annoyed with survivor. It seems like no one can loop anymore all of a sudden and no one does gens. You're probably thinking I'm low MMR or something, but I can assure you I'm a survivor main at heart and have over 4k hours. And ever since this new update HALF of my matches are against nurse, with an occasional blight or spirit afterwards. There's seems to be25 comments 361 views last activity

Before anyone assumes, I am NOT complaining about new dead hard. I think it takes much more skill than before. After running sprint burst and dead hard between rounds, I feel like dead hard is easily the best exhaustion perk in the game. It gives you far more control than any other exhaustion perk TLDR DH is the best still, use it.9 comments 141 views last activity

First of all, thank you devs for buffing SoloQ. BT basekit is a great change for the game. And it help a looooot against tunneling killers in soloQ. Off the record rework is amazing, I was always worried in soloQ "Does he have BT ??" "Will he takes a protection hit for me ???" Now I just use OTR and however my team mates are playing in soloQ I cant be tunneled. If the killer go for me and try t156 comments 2,192 views last activity

certain killers right now that you play/play against you will see the same addons with a lack of variety. the main killers ill discuss here are freddy and spirit. this also applies to pyramid and demo to name a few more that my post also applies to. freddy used to have some addons you can mix and match before they reworked him to have more useless addons. the only viable addons left are nancys3 comments 61 views last activity

I just wanted to know some of your guys opinions, from both killer and survivors. im a survivor main - who was sort of losing interest in the game about a month before the PTB. Obviously love dead hard, but I primarily used balanced landing for years. I do miss the old dead hard, but it’s nice to change it up (trying not to use balanced landing either since I did use that for a longggg time).39 comments 521 views last activity

Although it may not be the idealistic 75% less that was claimed, I have to say I don't feel the heavy grind-ache that used to accompany this game. Congrats to BHVR for taking action to address the grindy problem. It isn't a perfect solution, but it is noticeably better. Thanks!19 comments 191 views last activity

So over the last few days I have gotten the pale rose (one of blights worst maps) 5 times in a row every time I play him for the first time that day. 5 times. On the pale rose. IN A ROW. There are literally 37 different maps in the game, and I just happen to get the pale rose 5 times in a row ONLY when playing blight. This is without offerings as well. And every one of these games were miserabl5 comments 61 views last activity

... Just kidding ^^ I am beyond happy that DH is gone and I am facing many different exhaustion perks now. Occasionally Sprint Burst gets the better of me, but that's ok, because I happily face 4 sprint bursts then living in constant fear that my next hit will get invalidated by DH or the survivor just DHs for distance. But for real, what is everyones experience with Sprint Burst so far? Di44 comments 1,001 views last activity

Unless you are running fixated/self aware with it, it is a killer perk. Although the sprint itself is great and it gets you to a loop and is a safety perk, I see people walking EVERYWHERE. After this patch using your time wisely is essential to getting gens done and possibly escaping. You can not be walking around, especially at the start of the game. What puts pressure on killers early is surviv9 comments 332 views last activity

Before MMR, Survivors had less expectation to survive and getting 4k’d was relatively common. After MMR, kill rates went way down and Killers had a meltdown until they finally adapted their expectations. This patch is boosting kill rates again. And Survivors are having a meltdown because they’re not used to dying this much. The Devs WANT kill rates to be higher, which is what I’m getting. T1 comments 51 views last activity

Me again. After the mid-chapter patch, I was excited to go back in to Dbd and see how much it has improved, especially after fixing the rubberbanding issue. I think that overall the improvements have been pretty good and I’m hopefully going to become an active Dbd player again and continue with this series. First off, I was still INCREDIBLY rusty during the beginning, definitely more than I ex0 comments 21 views last activity

Anyone unbiased could tell you how crap dbd Is right now so why haven't the devs addressed anything? Solo Q Is terrible and dbd Is basically a generator simulator, constant busy work, chases are dead , and endgame Is so so boring now without DS and NOED...

I have been running Empathetic Connection - to bring injured survivors to me Aftercare - to get visual on everyone I've healed, and everyone I heal can see me. Boon: Silent Step Boon: Dark Theory - synergizes with Silent Step to allow you to speed around the map with no worries. The Empathetic Connection/ Aftercare combo is pretty self explanatory, gives all kinds of information to the who0 comments 21 views last activity

In any game player should be using the best strategy to win. In dbd as a killer that is camping and tunneling. Tunneling a player out gives a huge advantage and news flash, in every single comp dbd tournament they are going to camp and tunnel. It feels pathetic that I have to sometimes thank killers for not camping/tunneling a player out because that actually gave us a chance to win. The devs47 comments 1,131 views last activity

Here is mine and it's super fun. Buffed STBFL on huntress looks comically fast at 8 stacks. And Darkness Revealed works amazingly well on indoor maps where huntress is usually at a disadvantage. Also, no boring stuff like gen kicking here 😃 Edit: check locker as soon as you load into map with this build. Sometimes it's almost as good as lethal pursuer.5 comments 91 views last activity

I really want to know the reason. At first, I thought it was my killer/perks of choice. I'm an unrepentant Thana Legion main, so people giving up made sense. Okay, fair enough. Then I played Blight without add-ons and barely any slowdown (BBQ, Discordance, Pain Res, and NWO). I had people consistently giving up then too.

I just played in a match with one of these waste of breath. It was level 69 and did about every cheat I've heard of in the match. I believe that parasite was subtle at the start of the match, but it may have realized it was caught when I've stopped moving at all (because with Kindred, I could see it speed-up crouched). edit: I've reported it, obviously, and could film a 17 minutes video fro5 comments 61 views last activity

Half the time I play against Pinhead I get stuck in a loop where chains keep hitting me and stopping me from solving the box. It becomes impossible. Seriously what is the point of the survivors being able to solve the box if you can't actually do it? There's no addon for it but it just keeps happening.8 comments 121 views last activity

I thought it worked the same as it does now. You can prestige if you want for the shiny emblem or whatever people care about. Now I'm reading that you have to? The forced prestige cost combined with the awful bloodwebs you get at early levels reduces the available BP for later levels implicitly. It's an increased cost for higher rarity items and addons by extension. This is awful. I don't care58 comments 1,221 views last activity

The people that created the game must be killer main because everything revolves around the Killer the killer says there's too many pallets on the map the devs removed the pallets the killer says dead hard is used as a weapon by survivors the devs Nerf dead hard killers say they're using decisive strike as a weapon the devs Nerf decisive strike I been playing this game for like almost 5 years the0 comments 11 views last activity

According to the devs, the grind would be reduced by 75%. I assumed that meant that instead of the usual 1 million it costed to prestige a character, it would instead cost 250k. Yet I just tried to prestige my Zarina with the 1.2 million bloodpoints I had saved up and it only got me to level 44. Am I slow haha?25 comments 421 views last activity

Firstly, only one of my issues with this deals with bugs(which I did submit) so it's not really a "just wait for it" thing So to the issue(first of many), DBD Discord there are users that have promoted self harm. The right thing to do, report the person. However the crew doesn't seem to care at all, it has been two days and literally no ModMail messages or DMs. If you can't do something in a1 comments 101 views last activity

Honestly, i liked a lot the new update, give more gameplay styles and variety, but, i hate so much this MMR , i always play against top leve survivor, communication, all survivors be god on loops, do gens faster, and when i want play survivor i simply cant do almost nothing, because i never drop in a lobby with decent survivor, i not a god of survivor, but, i frequently have teammates urbanin eva5 comments 61 views last activity

Hi Guys , after the last update got to be honest the game really aren't fun anymore for survivors every game feels like "World Champ" and the sweat that you need to pull ( only with a swif otherwise you don't have a chance to escape) either one of the surv are gets tunneled because of DS nerf or disconnections. will like to hear you thoughts.57 comments 1,232 views last activity

I'm not actually talking about the Spine Chill, but the temporary importment terror measurement for the deafen people. I'm so proud that BHVR choose to put a function that helps deafen people to play, but I think they should tweak it a little when they brought the function in to the game regardless to the usage of Spine Chill, since it's too powerful.

Are some of you guys seriously crying about 10 more seconds to generators? i barely notice the difference its bitching and crying over nothing. I also see a lot of survivors crying about killers tunneling more (like i didn't warned that would happen after the update in my previous posts) as long devs don't understand the killers need a reason and reward to not camp and tunnel this strategy will58 comments 1,161 views last activity

If you could add a new killer with never seen abilities to the game ( not ones that could be licensed ), what kind of killer would you add? What would their abilities be and why? I'd personally love a stealth demon to be added to the game with the special ability to teleport to walls/corners of the ceilings-when indoors-and immediately lunge at the survivor (like Demo does) from up there (onl21 comments 171 views last activity

Warning, lots of math ahead for a TLDR see the bottom of the post. So, before the last big update, one of the common ways for good survivors to play, was to just hold w to gain as much distance as possible against the killer, and then just drop every pallet almost immediately without really doing much in the way of looping. Never taking a risk and just predropping everything and holding w. So15 comments 424 views last activity

The decision to make the act of prestige cost BPs is still immenslly bizzare to me and I do not understand it. What the hell was going through the mind of the devs here? Anyone have any thoughts on why would they add this at all?61 comments 1,171 views last activity

For the first few days, survivors would just run in a straight line, activate DH, and go down. Lately, as a killer main, I've been seeing a lot of skilled plays: 360ing me, and activating in the middle of the 360 Activating as I lunge at the pallet Jumping off a cliff, and then standing still for a split second so I hit them on the way down Going out the shack window, but crouching by it14 comments 291 views last activity

I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that survivor players on average play more casually than killer players. Where a lot of killer players take the game much more seriously and consider nothing less than a 3k a loss, survivors tend to play the game to chill out and have fun and dying half of the time is okay as long as you got to do a few fun things in the game and give it y68 comments 2,251 views last activity

This was a funny one. Coldwind map, I forget which one, against a spirit, I died second, pretty fun game overall. I see on the endgame screen the two remaining both have iron will. Ace has that and a few more "new meta" perks. Feng is rocking the interesting combo of iron will, dead hard, spine chill, and adrenaline. So I want to watch this obviously. Ace is practically silent with new iron w24 comments 231 views last activity

So among all the post screaming that Dbd is dead or that solo Q is unplayable, I really want to exactly why. Firstly though I want to be clear on the things I think aren't the reason, the first being general killer buffs. Did they make killers like Blight a little unbearable? Maybe, but it didn't make killer OP as a whole. Then there's the slight nerfs to survivor but again, it's no where near11 comments 171 views last activity
