We did the gens while I was looking for the glyph to pop up somewhere and when all gens were done I was racing around most of the map trying to find it but no luck was looking until couldn't anymore 😕 had to escape before the timer ran out just seems like it should be at certain areas like killers shack the basement or around the gens11 comments 121 views last activity

Devs please - yall need to take houndmaster out for a nice LONG stroll for SEVERAL matches on your own. I need you to see the countless bugs she has to face on a day to day basis. Its overwhelming how many she has still. We are MONTHS into a health operation and there have been very little fixes to her. I shouldn't have deal with constant broken powers especially with her in EVERY single trial I27 comments 401 views last activity

Has anyone else been experiencing this? Over the past week, I've gotten a number of Dedicated Server disconnects, and each one of them has given me a disconnect penalty. I have confirmed that the issue is NOT my internet—I have a Twitch clip of the Dedicated Server failing and me receiving a DC penalty. I was up to a 30 minute penalty this weekend before I just stopped playing DbD altogether. Thi0 comments 91 views last activity

Before anyone gets me wrong, I do not believe Kaneki to be THAT strong. He's good, but there's counterplay and the 50/50s at pallets are very enjoyable, just as they are against Huntress. The issue is on his LOCK-IN-PLACE attack, which is just very, very, very bad design. Let me explain. On the killer's end, you get stuck in place but it doesn't feel bad. Why? Because you are the one in33 comments 711 views last activity

A big statement I always see is that BHVR and dbd would get better and lock in more if there was competition in the genre Yet when we actually get the competition you guys instantly say the game will die within a year. Yet you guys asked for this and you won’t go fund and support the competition to get BHVR to care again? Then when that game inevitably dies off you guys complain again that w29 comments 593 views last activity

This is coming from someone who plays 90% survivor because Killer is far to stressful to play. Since the last 2 PTBs with the failure that was anti-tunnel I keep seeing people say we need some form of it and it always deals with punishing Killers for playing optimally. I don't understand how this can be seen as a good solution to the "problem" of tunneling. Punishing a person for playing the ga55 comments 822 views last activity

I play solo queue as survivor, and I enjoy it when I have competent, experience teammates. But man, I don’t know what is going on with matchmaking. Just using my matches today as an example. I’ve been doing pretty well lately, escaping about half the time. But even after multiple escapes, my “reward” for doing well is getting matched with literal brand new players (often less than 100 hours -8 comments 191 views last activity

Regardless of what some streamers think, overzealous is not some super powerful gen perk that's gonna help you zip through gens. If anything, it's a massive time waster that can easily be canceled out by bad team mates or "totem goblin" teammates. Because it's one of those perks that highly depends on what your teammates are doing in order to flourish. Unless you're playing at a higher mmr level14 comments 672 views last activity

This game has become as stale as week old bread. I play killer and sometimes I just can't be bothered chasing survivors with sprint burst and windows so I now play huntress purely for longer hatchet hits. But I've noticed survivors seem more interested in bullying killers than doing all 5 gens. Flashlights, flashbangs, sabo hooks and constant t-bags at every pallet.

I would genuinely like to understand whether the devs expect this to be an enjoyable experience? I would also like to understand why there isn't some sort of measure to prevent playing the same killer 3/4/5 times in such a short span of games. Honestly, this is my biggest issue with the MMR system. Just because I can play halfway decently in solo q, it doesn't mean I want to face the best sweat24 comments 704 views last activity

No deliverance and no luck offering. Yet someone instantly unthooked after hooking… How? And I rly do mean instant, as in it can't have been anti-camp mechanics. Perks: WGLF/DH/DS/UB Is 4% on your own a thing again? Did they revert it? Thanks <33 comments 71 views last activity

EU servers are ruined by high ping killers from outside of EU… Majority of killers I get each game are 60, 80, 100+ ping and it just feels unfair? Anything over 60 always gets a free hit through a pallet or window. Why do killers with high ping always get priority on hits when I have 20-30 ping? Should pallet stuns not stop the killer from injuring me? Someones bad ping should not be my problem.24 comments 885 views last activity

…every match is a mistake I willingly repeat. …I don’t boot it up for fun. I boot it up out of obligation. …I complain during the queue, during the match, and during the post-game chat. …I don't enjoy it. I tolerate it aggressively. …I don’t even want to win.

The 9.3.0 Mid-Chapter update that released last month brought a change to the way players on mouse and keyboard access the match details screen. The issue I have with this change is it takes away the TAB key from being a programmable key. For the past 9 years I have used TAB to do my crouching in game. This change would have been ok if it was an OPTION to switch from the ESC to the TAB key, but i0 comments 21 views last activity

remember when boon totems were added and they dominated the meta? It’s been 2 years since the last boon perk and none have been used at all in any builds. This isn’t about the perks themselves this is about the actual mechanic of boons.

In the Swamp map (the variation with the big ship) I had so many traps spawned under objetcs that I just gave up playing. One other thing: Why not making traps being able to be caught in lockers + making them insta reseting base kit after 45 seconds? That would allow Trapper to use another add-ons and being viable.1 comments 51 views last activity

He shouldn't be able to use his whip to knock you on the ground it should only be able to make you have to mend as hes able to hit you over the pallet which it still will be affective for him but allow the survivors to run alittle more smh almost impossible on top of the faster zombies smh come on killers have crazy good perks that need to be lower times7 comments 91 views last activity

since no one else is going to state this- I will. we need to get rid of all these high ping / vpn abusers. EVERY single game I played today killer had ping of 100+ I have a proactive suggestion or 3 1- let us see the ping of ALL players in the pregame lobby 2- give us an option to turn on a setting where ping above 100 cannot be paired with us 3-lower your ping limit allotment killers h13 comments 372 views last activity

MI played a lot of Killer today. All the maps seemed okay, but this one, guys... full of good-quality pallets, long tiles, and very close to eachother. It was incredibly difficult to land a hit, and the survs weren't even that good. Especially with Pig, they could even spot me from a distance since the map is very open. A REAL NIGHTMARE. I hope I never have an experience like that again.8 comments 151 views last activity

Hey everyone, I'm trying to complete the first tome and I'm currently stuck on this specific challenge. In most matches, I can't get more than one stun, and you know Murphy's Law; players with Spirit Fury and Enduring are not in my queues. Maybe you completed this challenge? I'd appreciate any advice!5 comments 91 views last activity

Many of you must've heard it; "Can we have x perk as basekit?". These suggestions have been around for a very long time, and in some cases have even made it into the game; Basekit Borrowed Time. For some of you this must've gotten tiring and feeling like such posts lack creativity, and making you wonder whether they at this point should make every single perk base-kit or not.

…this was an actual Developer, or just a hacker? The Ghoul's badge and banner are supposedly Dev-only. But I don't know if they were legit.

I kid you not, but the only dbd maps that feel off to me rn are the odd green autohaven maps. The blue was perfect. For some reason the new pukegreen autohaven maps even feel more zoomed in than normal maps, as if everything is bigger than it's supposed to be. It just feels distored I really wish they'd revert it back to being blue6 comments 191 views last activity

Anything that requires another player to do something. The winter event has throwing a snowball at a snowman someone is in. If your in SoloQ you can't do it unless you get a friendly killer which I was lucky enough to get but I've never been a fan of those challenges because it requires something out of your control. I still try doing them and most times get it but as said their just a little an0 comments 21 views last activity

for me, i found out if i turn crossplay off so i only play with steam people and i type into every lobby if im the only one knowing what a gen is, i will afk just saying people tend to dodge more often but when i do get a match (which doesnt take much longer) people generally do gens. i found my own fix to the trashy mmr system. youre free to use this line btw <3 youre welcome9 comments 181 views last activity

I have been practicing the new Myers in customs against bots for practice and it occurred to me that unless I'm mistaken, he has momento Moris basekit, doesn't he? In fact, the offering requires survivors be in the dying state and Myers kit does not. So am I missing something, or aren't all Mori offerings absolutely pointless for him to bring?3 comments 101 views last activity

There has been a bug in the game for a few months now where deathslinger half the time will not pull up his gun and just shoot a chain out of his torso. (I've seen reported in bug reports) This is a extreme bug, it takes away any mind games with the gun shot (which can go both ways, missing gun shot as killer because you think survivor is going to duke) I understand he may not be the most0 comments 131 views last activity
