Hello guys :D. Recently I've seen on steam that there are 17 languages that you can choose to play DBD. I think Romanian language could be nice regarding Romanians that are playing Dead By Daylight. What do you think guys? :D If you vote "Yes" tell me why. If you vote "No" tell me why.

Hi, everyone! After some digging in the forums, I couldn't find any conclusive answers, so I needed to ask: I'm playing the game on PS4, on my account, but using the copy of a friend that he bought digitally (his account is set as primary on my console). Unfortunately, this friend has a US account, while I have an EU account, so I was wondering; if I buy an Auric Cell pack on my account thro

Will we ever see ultrawide screen support?

I want to make a master list of all licensed characters that haven't been added to the game, so I'm asking for you guys to add to the list if you've seen a well known horror character that I haven't listed. Keep in mind these aren't killers we would necessarily want in the game, they are just characters well known enough that the devs could possibly add them. Movie Characters: Jason Vorhees (F

Hey i got the initializing error and i cant play my brother that are usinh the same wifi is not having this problem but i have can someone fix it?

Recently, it's been getting more and more difficult to enjoy this game and to look over the glaring issues. The Console port of DBD has shown that the game is extremely poorly optimized, and performance will continue to get worse unless BHVR addresses the issues now . I fear that soon, the game will become unplayable for us on current-gen Consoles. Resident Evil broke the game for a month, and

I really only play legion for the cosmetics so I was wondering what’s your setup. mine is usually year of the rat hoodie the new blighted head and the Karambit

Since we have a kpop idol as a killer, why not having an American one? Or if it goes too off the proposal of horror, a legendary Lady Gaga skin for Yun-Jin Lee. Why not, I would love that, Lady Gaga has one thousand of exotic and pretty outfits.

If you could Design your own perk to be in the game what would it be? When we get new chapters we may not always be into the perks, this doesn't mean they're bad but they probably wasn't what you're looking for in your build. So be creative, think of the perk you would like to be added into the game. this could help the devs see what sort of perks the community are wanting and maybe share some

Honestly, #########. How greedy and scummy can you get?

What if skillchecks were effected by what status the survivor is in Exhausted: no great skillchecks zone will appear until recovered Hindered: causes smaller great skillcheck zones until recovered Hemorrhage: skillchecks would appear red (like with ruin) Blindness: face difficult skillchecks Mangled: great skillcheck zone will appear in the middle of the skillchecks Broken: great skillcheck

Do you think it deserves a chapter ? The Big Sister fits Dead by Daylight mo and I think she would be powerful and unique?

the perks i have at the moment are surge and a trapper perk. But what perks should i use on him other then ruin and bbq? (1) what are some good/best builds for demogorgon? (2) i also need some tips on playing as him better? (3) And how do i use his portals better? Anyways hes fun to play as. i just need some tips on builds and how to use his portals better:)

I've been a Feng main since I got DBD as the free PS+ game back in 2018. I've since been waiting for a COOL NEW Feng outfit and honestly I don't know how much longer I can wait. I'm literally on high lvl 3 alert waiting for a cool new outfit, but each and every new store update is just a slap in the face, usually with no Feng outfits at all. How much longer must I wait? Please, can anybody tell

There are two kinds of people. Those who wear cosmetics because they like how look or want to show off, and those that wear cosmetics because it provides camouflage and gives them a higher chance of staying undetected. Which kind of person are you?

I can now, finally, go and play Killer when solo becomes just too much to handle in one play session without the 35 minute long queue times convincing me instead to just close the game and go do something more fun instead. Best decision DBD's made in all of 2022, easily.

I'll go first! As a killer my least favourite DBD mechanic is pallets and the length of some killer animations, like vaulting, is slower than survivors' animations. I can't think of anything off the top of my head as survivor right now; I play killer about twice as much as survivor. What are your least favourite game mechanics?

For me, I had watched DBD videos on YouTube since the game released in 2016; However, I only began playing in DBD in October of 2018. My first match was as Huntress on the Autohaven Wreckers Azarov's Resting Place map. I could barely hit my hatchets since at the time I was playing on Xbox and it was difficult for me to get used to the power. The survivors were clearly new too though as they mostl

It's that simple. This game is exhausting to play anymore. Almost every single match is unbalanced and toxic. Killers are buffed into infinity and survivors nerfed into the ground. The match making allows toxic swfs to bully the killer and killers to bully solo que/duoing survivors. The gameplay is repetitive. You have to hide your prestige/avoid your mains due to lobby shopping and tunneling. No

I just want to know something about several playstyles, and i dont want opinions from players, i would like some statement from officials. The infames 2 survivor left-scenario. I am often in that situation, but usually, i try to do gens anyway. However, i run bound in all my builds, and if i see a guy just hidding while i stay on gens, i will simply lose. If i hide too, it becomes bannable, rig

Hi all, Which chapters (original) do you think were the best/worst hyped or just didn't live up to your expectation? I personally feel like Demise of The Faithful was a very quickly forgotten chapter, and didn't live up to expectations with the map. As for most hyped, I feel like Shattered Bloodline was a very well done chapter and had a good amount of attention behind it before it was releas

This is the challenge where you have to stun the killer 4 times in one game.. And I just CANNOT get this one done. Does anyone have any tips for this, or do I just have to hope for a killer who will walk into pallets for me? I just want to finish level 4 of the archive. :(

Has anyone else been experiencing bugged grabs recently? I play on PS4 and whenever i go for a grab off a gen or totem, my character will do the hand reaching animation and stand still for a few frames but the survivor runs away? Its happened almost every time I have gotten a grab.

You know who I'm going to say, recently I played Trickster and managed to get his 'Main Event' power. Hit the control key and found it absolutely useless as the survivor just has to go around a small rock/object and due to the heavily reduced speed you can't hit them with any of those hundred and thousands of cards he throws... Anyone else think of any? Trapper springs to mind with swfs on com

I think this is the best Rift/Season Pass we've ever had. First of all, we got more rewards, which is great imo and we got the most wanted cosmetic of all time: The "Wazuuuuup-Mask" from Scary Movie. Also we got other very interesting and cool outfits. There are the 2 communits-outifts, which are also great. The artist skin is very unique and good looking and the yui skin is also top tier im

The best example is Legion. In their main lore they were kids who wanted to terrorize Ormond not by killing, but by making chaos. They stole ,,Stop" signs, wrecked some stores and robbed some places. Never intending to hurt anyone. Then they kill a Janitor, but its becouse Frank made them do it. Also he was saving Julie. But in one of Suzie's cosmetic we learn that she STABBED a random seller to

Just curious if you think it's worth it to come back to play. I mainly played Killer and sometimes solo Survivor. EDIT: I should also add i give 0 fricks about competitive, it's all about just having fun for me: Whether that's doing certain builds, messing around or whatever. I know, i know: I wil ultimately decide if i will play again, but i'd like some insider info from y'all on how the game

So im a killer main, i always enjoyed this mode. I always thought it was fun to haunt for suvivors with different killers that had their unique powers and playstyles. Before 6.1.0 i thought it was fine. But after this update, besides the buff to killers. Which pretty soon after was pretty much reverted, i face a sweaty team each match i play. By sweaty i mean gen rushers with the best of perks in

Title. Additionally, If the killer has been near the hook for 10 seconds the unhooking survivor (that has been in the hook area for atleast 5 seconds) also gains Endurance status effect. Whenever the killer moves away from the hook area for atleast 3 seconds straight he/she can decrease the BONUS endurance duration of the survivor at a faster rate when staying out of the area. This does not app

Yes, I present to you what I have had in mind all these years. what would have happened if DBD had been as follows The perks system would not have existed and in that case there would have been another system... YES, classes: supports, athlete, trapper, healer, builder, among many others... Imagine playing with Dwight choosing the class of... builder and building barricades to hinder the kille

As in League of Legends there are champions that are very outdated and Riot makes them a complete VISUAL REWORK for those who know League of Legends, Mundo, Udyr, Urgot among others had their large-scale visual rework, speaking of DBD, I think the Wraith has become very obsolete compared to 2022 after 6 years... I think BHVR should do a complete VISUAL REWORK to make it a real wraith I think

That endgame mori mechanic should have been implemented the patch after it was announced. I guess since it was a killer issue though, it was skipped over. Now you see match after match (when the killer actually wins, anyway) survivors just lame it out by hiding and are almost always rewarded for that kind of play. I just want to know why the endgame of this game is so egregiously survivor sided.

Me no understand (this is in East Asia).

Hi. This is an open letter to BHVR. We need to increase BP gains as in the new progression system,it's pretty painful to start out,compared to the old one and there are still a lot of issues with the progression system. This thread combines many,many ideas brought to you by the community and yours truly. They're split up into short term and long-term changes. If you implement at least half of th

Leader gives the same effect and for a higher speed bonus at all time. Better than New forces you to heal a survivor and it only affects them! Nobody needs speed boost for chests and totems, and 16% on healing is almost nothing Just use Leader guys.

With the GannMan gone, it's a competition between the second-tier Rin fanatics. Those who perhaps even have not bought all the versions of her schoolgirl outfit. Who do you think wins?

I know its on the 13th but idk when

What's some of the lesser known, or less 'viable' horror licenses, you would like to see in DBD...but know deep down it's not going to happen. I'll start: The Green Inferno (2013) Survivor: Justine Killer: Bald Headhunter Map: Peruvian Jungle

I understand that this is a fake name she uses but she is in the entitys realm now, hiding your identity seems fairly pointless? Unless it's the shattered memories version of her? Small complaint but it's bugging me lol

Howdy folks, it's your favourite angry DBD nerd here to be annoyed a second time. I made a post after the "grind reduction" was first announced, where I did some math to determine that the grind reduction seemed to be in name only: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/330040/we-reduced-the-grind-except-we-kinda-didnt This discussion was responded to by @Pea

The lighting, the bloom, the mist. The world was very dark, but there are many sources of light so you don't feel blind (hello today's Autoheaven). This is what attracted me so deeply back in 2016. DbD today is beautiful in its own right, but, personally, the old graphics

Raising the BP category caps from 8k to 10k is great, but it raises an issue. The Survival and Sacrifice categories are notoriously stingy when it comes to what actions provide BP score events for these, pretty much being tailored specifically to optimal performance plus escaping, or getting 10+ hooks and a 4K. Those extra 2,000 BP are going to be very difficult to obtain. BBQ and WGLF's BP bon

To start this off, I'm throwing it out there that I'm old. Like, REALLY old, lol. At least in the context of the general player base, and I'm probably not anywhere near the target age demographic of video game companies if I had to guess. I've played rounds as killer where I've messaged players after the game (I'm on console, with messages off normally) to either say GG when someone played ex

What’s gonna be your builds after this update??

Seriously, what the heck ? Whether the new grind reduction is actually good enough and accomplishes what we wanted it to do well is a separate topic ( All they had to do was remove perk tiers lol), but with it being mostly better, and the new matchmaking incentives, the overall bp gain and grind definitely won't be worse even without the bonuses from these perks. Regardless, did people actuall

Got a point to prove. To all killer mains out there who use BBQ, I'm interested in knowing why. What, to you, is the best part of the perk? What makes it essential? Which part is just a bonus?
