I know DbD doesnt have the best community, definitely not the worst either, but Ive never seen the community more split than now. Of course, this divide is made further by the changes, where people obviously arent going to be satisfied with the results since it fundamentally changed the core mechanics that everyone was use to. But there is one thing amongst this which really, really makes me kind6 comments 121 views last activity

the survival experience is no longer worth it, the devs have destroyed their own game without having played it. Thanks devs, now I will have more time to try other games0 comments 61 views last activity

Its still a great tool for denying hits as a reaction. No other exhaustion perk can save you from a nurse that teleported on top of you or a killer that won the mind game and breathing down your neck. Its hard to use for sure but imo, its still going to be a strong option. It might not be that great against m1 killers but against the higher tier killers like nurse or blight, its still imo the b10 comments 121 views last activity

Here is why I think many Survivors DC / give up on hook or just are unhappy with the game. Passive slowdown builds combined with slower gens are tedious and super boring (aka unfun) to play as. Nurse with range add-ons alone is unfair garbage, now add strong builds on top of that. Camping and Tunneling is easier to do and it is worth it doing. It rewards. No direct buffs to solo q.

First, I want to say that I agree the current meta is clearly too strong against solo survivors. Gen regression and gen slowdown perks stacked together can deny a lot of progress from the survivors, make the game really long and way too hard on teams without comms. HOWEVER, I've seen some people in the forum sugesting survivor games are "unwinnable" and killers are overpowered even when perkless19 comments 281 views last activity

Since the update it is impossible to win anymore as a survivor. Gens are too long to do without even perk who destroy gens. The borrow time 5 sec is useless since every killer just wait 5 little sec more to kill you like before. You should have let a real borrow time not just a 5 little seconds. And to say 5 sec borrow time and in exchange a lot of advantages for killers. Like 10 sec more by ge30 comments 761 views last activity

I’m not even talking about Freddy, I’ve only come across one doing a daily. But wow the plagues, legions and pigs I’ve come across have stacked the gen slow downs so much that it’s so miserable. can we please either cap how much gens can be slowed down or have penti, thana, play thing, dying light not stack with other slow downs? it is so miserable and my soloQ teams are not sticking to36 comments 931 views last activity

Most killers love the patch. Some don't. Most survivors don't like the patch. Some do though... Killers were buffed, yes. That's great. SWF will now have to be careful or they will be slaughtered... It's not really about the patch itself and the buffs and the nerfs. The problem is you can't buff one side that potentially faces solo Q players 8 out of 10 matches when these Solo Q players that a74 comments 1,611 views last activity

Remember when Halloween chapter came out and they changed unrelenting because it would stack with stbfl? Yeah now you have old unrelenting that stacks with stbfl. You know what baffles me more? The fact that they downgrade survivor meta to the point where it barely can compete against strong killers or just outright and blatantly lie or contradict themselves with the example of how they fixed cam36 comments 3,081 views last activity

So I'm seeing this idea thrown around a lot that solo que was specifically nerfed harder in this patch than survivor in general somehow, and I just don't see where. Can someone explain this idea? DS nerf hits everyone equally, so does DH and gen times. Survivors got OTR, so you don't even need to worry about your teammates bringing BT, you can do it yourself. There's base mini BT now. So87 comments 691 views last activity

I feel like it has increased significantly and as a solo player, if the Killer tunnels 1 survivor out the game it becomes close to impossible to Escape. DS and OTR can only do so much. Many survivors have stopped using Borrowed Time. And BBQ no longer encourages going after different survivors. When are “Anti-Tunnel perks” actually going to do their job? They should really punish the killer if2 comments 81 views last activity

sorry but I have to say your latest update is for naught. the prestige system has become great. but the game is barely playable for survivor. killers tunnel and camp even more, like before the update. as a surv you can't do anything against it. either you bring in balance for the survivor or the game will die out.0 comments 21 views last activity

Logged into DBD for today, tried to play killer to work on achievements and challenges. Never get into a match after... 10 minutes or so? Then I made the mistake of playing solo queue in order to work on survivor challenges. I had fun dying first to a (admittedly half decent) Nemesis, followed by a Feng dcing after I died after getting hooked for a 3rd time.

I started using it because I hated going against Wraith's because I barely heard him now all it is will be just nope they have to have a clear sight of you yeah there are two stealth killer spine chill is good for because they basically can down you in one shot so you want a survivor to feed them so they go down.

Personally, I do, I typically have fun on either side and Im decent enough to hold my own (most of the time, I am very much prone to making dumb choices every now and then). I dont have any issue with playing a specific role. I use to play killer a lot since the queue times were instant, but now I find myself swapping moreso to survivor just because I can find a match easier (at least within my15 comments 113 views last activity

I understand the game is not easy right now for solo players, specially not with the amount of killers that are stacking slowdowns and camping/tunneling in the majority of games, but please stop giving up so early. Since the update came out I think 90% of my matches have had at least one person suicide/disconnect at 4/5 gens, and gens taking so long to repair it's impossible to escape in a 3v1.93 comments 1,561 views last activity

So as I understand, 5 seconds is too much for some killers(even though if you grab a survivor after 50 seconds of doing nothing and get the stun, thats means it's basically been a 3v1 for 50 seconds, thats normally a win), but obviously 3 seconds is too small because mobility killers like Nurse and Blight can basically ignore DS now. So why not give it a time system based on how quickly you were39 comments 371 views last activity

Greetings survivors, killers, and both-siders of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. So, today was the big day, eh? New update dropping, Dead Hard nerfed (FINALLY), Thanatophobia buffed, Legion and Plague apocalypse, bla bla bla...Originally, my plan was to take a good look at those red backgrounds, even if they are a VERY poor excuse of a reward and immediately close the game.

I have been seeing post after post about how camping and tunneling had become so much worse after the patch. I thought that maybe they are just calling BS but I then noticed so many survivors saying they are going Killer now and that worries me a bit. Because the increase of Tunneling and Camping posts have increased with the amount of survivors switching to Killer. What's truly worrying me ar4 comments 81 views last activity

Spirit's warhammer skin looks awful and doesn't do the reference character any justice, it makes me cringe when I look at how bad it looks. Huntress would have been better for it, she could have thrown hardened hatchets... What a missed chance.4 comments 81 views last activity

With how much of a bore the previous meta was, where there was a lack of killers (mostly afking to bring down their hidden MMR) and most of the matches were facecamping killers, this patch brought a fresh paint to Dead by Daylight. There is no reason to wait out for a Dead Hard, there is no reason to camp any longer. Killers feel like an actual threat rather than your usual punching bag.

Hey guys! I am Killer main! I played survivor a lot cause Qtimes suck for killer. Killers started to camp and tunnel for more since this update then before.

Was in a match, took a survivor to basement hooks. Another survivor then got her off hook and I tunneled that same person and they went down. However once I went to pick them up the prompt to pick them up never showed no matter what angle I went at. Literally tried for like 30 seconds straight since I already lost that match and his friend picked him up right after I left0 comments 21 views last activity

It will tell you 100% of the time that the killer is near you. No hidding your camera, walking backwards, nothing. I thought the perk got super nerfed and Its trash but now Its pretty solid choice for anyone who dislike stealth killers haha.34 comments 701 views last activity

Off the record was reworked again yesterday now its useless again. Devs will never answer why they help killers in each update. The supposed changes for survivors are meant to be good? Off the record disabled now when doing conspicuous actions. All survivors perks were debuff. While killers got buffs on every level. The level of camping has increased dramatically and nothing is done? Game is dead8 comments 231 views last activity

hi all, before the update, i had prestiged a lot of my survivors to ensure a decent amount of perks on anyone i need for a quest (i already had my main at old p3-50 so i had a lot on him). i had forgotten to do so for killers. so, in light of this, i was wondering how much BP i need to get a killer to p3. they are almost at p1 because i had all other killers at levels 40-50 before the update.8 comments 211 views last activity

I just did last night. That's literally the last time in recent memory I can remember doing that. Three of us made it out on death hook, (Nea got hooked twice in a row and I hook traded so she could get away. A Meg then hook traded for me and I returned the favour), and one of us had no hooks. Pre patch I'm sure this would have been a 4K or at least I would have died since every other match pre p0 comments 41 views last activity

I just tried this full sweat build as a test. I'd normally do not subject anyone to such torture. They tried their best. Distributed between gens in different corners. Didn't loop bad at all. I didn't tunnel and didn't camp even for a moment. And they miraculously managed to finish 1 gen. If I chose to tunnel, they wouldn't even finish 1.

I'm a killer main but every killer main who has ever played this game came back and so it's time to play survivor. I'm not a good survivor, to get that out of the way. Even in the last meta if I was seen, I was downed nearly 100% of the time. Now, there isn't any reason to even run for me. If I'm seen, I'm hooked.

I'm pretty sure some players will be looking for new excuses for camping and tunneling in the futureyo, because I'm also pretty sure that the developers will take a closer look at camping and tunneling in the future to make it even less attractive. I could imagine the developers increasing hook times in the future to make camping less attractive or something similar. Let's see what comes next. Maybe the Solo Q Pain excuse?

For the first time ever, I got 5 stacks of Pentimento. A few factors were favorable for getting it. A survivor used a map offering to take us to Gideon Meat Plant. While that map is extremely survivor sided and I was playing a weak killer, it's also a little confusing when it comes to finding totems. It's also indoors, so it prevented survivors from finding the pentimento hex totems again too e4 comments 131 views last activity

So I know there's hundreds of people projecting their ridiculous doomsday predictions and threatening to quit the game for 4 weeks until they see a new cosmetic/update announcement they like but there's a bitter pill people complaining need to swallow at one point or another.

It's gone now...? Anyone else notice dumb stuff like this, like BHVR randomly changing things about maps without mentioning them? There was a pallet like this in Badham that always used to spawn and suddenly it just never did. Has anyone seen this pallet recently? I'd love to know if it was straight up deleted or if it's only got a chance to spawn.4 comments 81 views last activity

I think this was biggest mistake of this update. BHVR really thought these buffs will make killers less camp/tunnel and 5 seconds BT will be enough for survivors. Yes, killers buffs are great. Yes, game is better without DH. So chases are more fun and you seriously do not need camp or tunnel so much like before. Maybe exception of that, if you are going to lose you can proxy camp for pres6 comments 101 views last activity
