i just dont see how defining a characters sexuality has anything to do with horror... like what
Horror is all about a rejection of conformity. As such, the community attracts a lot of gays.
FUN FACT Freddy was used as a metaphor for homosexuality in NMOES2. Now that may not be the most well regarded movie out there but it existence speaks for itself. Also *ghostface* said the only way to survive a modern horror movie is to be gay. Im not sure what that means because it's not literally true and it might just be a play on the fact that sex = death but im pretty sure gays have sex so maybe it was just to set up a funny death later. I just felt the need to bring it up since *he's* also in dbd
Bubba is genderfluid

Umm no.
You don’t.
You may be shocked to learn that many more gay males play this game than you may realise.
And whether that’s relevant or not, I don’t think this game should go down the road of overtly sexualising any of its characters.
.......what about shirtless David?
Im just saying I've been on twitter, you're right about a lot of gay guys playing this game but no one has a problem sexing him up 😂
Personally I think it's a little weird to sexualize women who are being slaughtered but at the same time this IS a slasher fest. Laurie and Nancy could both be have licenced outfits like that but it would probably be more suited to someone like Kate if it had to be an existing survivor as she's basically every final girl ever

Yeah, I'm not listening to that. You can put in a little effort and write what you want to say.
Skip to about 3 minutes in and listen for a few seconds. Because of gamer issues I'll leave it at that since this forum and sadly game is filled with gamers who probably wouldn't like me saying that lol
Or don't, it actually doesn't matter since unbeknownst to you we're on the same page. See that's what happens when you argue with hateful people in the internet, if you start firing at random you'll hit the people closest not the ones who deserve ig. And make no mistake this forum post says "why do the devs care about gays?" i don't think you'll be changing any hearts or minds here

What gamer issues? We're not discussing gameplay here.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1439027#Comment_1439027
So why didn't they advertise it more? They put out one tweet and that was it. Why not really cash in on it with a forum announcement, for example?
Gamer issues aren't about gameplay they're....people get really sensitive so I'll explain in a song.
https://youtu.be/34u_3Z9_LUwThis about sums it up lol

This is horror please leave your gamer issues in COD

@Mew said:
because hes licensed, even if his lore is original he can only be bought with auric cells
I think a lot of people are confused about Ghostface, rightfully so it is confusing, but nothing about Danny is Licensed. He has nothing to do with Scream but his outfit is Licensed from the creators of his mask. It would be like if they just gave Legion a ghostface mask, the character really has nothing to do with the mask because they would be the same without it.
UNLESS they for some reason made a deal where fun world owns the character or at least had dictation of everything about him, but he came pretty late in the game i don't think they would make such a bad deal.
But i guess that's the only explanation other than they just choose not do anything with him for the sake of maintaining good relations with Fun world which is fine...it's just confusing and a little sad because he'd be my favorite OC
-
What would the skill be, guessing where survivors are? If you couldn't hear anything then her phase walk would be almost useless for anything other than moving fast

@Karaage said:
From Wiki: "Ghostface (alternatively stylized as Ghost Face or GhostFace) is a fictional identity adopted by several antagonists of the Scream series.".
So it doesn't matter who dresses up as Ghostface, what important is the Ghostface looks/persona/modus operandi.
Yeah i know (scream is actually my favorite slasher) but the mask didn't start with the movies and is still owned by fun world which is why this ghostface has nothing to do with scream or "ghostface" if that makes sense he just wears the ghostface mask made by a separate company, fun world.
@Orion said:
Because they still had to license something; specifically, the look.
Yeah but the mask he wears not him, not even his cloak actually that's totally original. So does funworld own the character because he was specifically created to wear the mask?
-
I like how you declare that he's a scummy killer now lol.
Also FYI that's his name, Bubba Sawyer. It's crazy how many non horror fans play the game but ig that means they're doing something right....maybe.
-
It won't happen because Sony suckssss. They're getting better now but i know they're not at Microsoft letting banjo in smash you know. And Nintendo for sure wouldn't allow us #########. A Luigi mansion map?
It's dumb tho because it would be free advertising but that's where we are rn. I hope Sony will come around on the ps5 to ps3 Sony. Damn imagine if the ps5 could play all PlayStation games like the original ps3
-
Book would be really cool. That's what i love supporting every corner of the horror community. For the culture lol
Like if a chapter came out about a book that i hadn't read i would go out and buy that book.
-
You know what would be an even better idea? A few iri shards. Doesn't have to be a lot but it could build nicely overtime and would be tempting even for long term players
It just asked me for the minimum BP boost and i hope everyone says 100. I think its not even worth talking a boost under 50 but even 75 wouldn't be too tempting if it's not play the role i don't want to play you know? 100% that's a free cake/pudding (never noticed they were both desserts) that's worth it i think because you can stack another on top of it
-
This title is pretty great lol.
But nah do bones
-
It's almost 100% Candyman which is incredibly dope i really hope we get a map in the projects please dear lord. But looking past that I'm pretty on board with a FNAF chapter at this point. I'm not a fnaf fan but the killer and map potential are pretty great, plus its cool how it makes people mad tbh lol. Such a silly thing to get mad over like fnaf is the ultimate sin it's not real horror, how dare it stand next to stranger things, left 4 dead, and the 2009 NMOES remake

@coppersly said:
aura changes? I haven't heard anything about the texture update hitting PTB yet?
I'm glad you like the Bubba changes, but Billy is hard nerfed no if ands or buts about it. And he got the Nurse treatment too, most of his addons are just plain bad and only a few are good and only because they kind of revert him back to his basekit self. When that's the reason they're the best addons you know you've failed.
Yeah you all the auras are different now? They also updated some of the maps.
And i feel like his add ons got a buff, the apex muffler i think is insane, the chain would be really good if they change to not work as a speed limiter when it's not going through a pallet, the ones that make him move faster if a flashlight is on him, they change up the gameplay way more than the very basic add ons he had before. I realize that more fun doesn't equal better but i personally like the direction his add ons take.
And again im not a Billy main so i can't really say but i know that when nurse got nerfed she maintained S tier in popular (pc) opinion. I guess the difference here's is that nurse didn't really lose anything whereas Billy seems to have completely lost a lot of his chainsaw tech but idk i have a feeling he'll maintain as one of the stronger killers if for no other reason than the people who play him are already very skilled

LMFAO! Cheating? Sounds like you just need to improve as a killer because damn that’s a lot of exaggerating.
Let me guess, you only play survivor in SWF?
This game wasn't made for SWF, being in a SFW is a massive advantage. Its why so many people never play solo because why would you if you just wanna win?
It's not going anywhere but it is basically cheating with no exaggeration its that much of a benefit

@Bingbongbong said:
Doesn't it say 1 second within 5 meters?
If that's true i wonder if you'd be able to cut off a survivor coming for a save and force the cage to relocate, Seems like a very strange change to me.
Yeah im pretty sure it's meant to be a nerf to stop people from being camped but in reality its another power
-
It's one of the most OP perks in the game lol. Worth a perk slot is an understatement
-
I see. While i personally would like to see Freddy because he's just an absolute unit if Springtrap is the killer than he's a no brainer. Of course since im not seeing anyone mention that he has any special powers over the other guys they would almost positively be skins.
Im on board with this tbh, i hope a fnaf chapter happens
-
I think the fact that you think FNAF is aimed at high schoolers means you need to embrace your dadness lol.
When i think of DBD i think of like middle schoolers
@Maperson said:
In my opinion we should first get icons like Chucky, Pennywise, Pinhead etc.. After that they could do it, but its just my opinion
Pennywise, Pinhead and Jason are all constantly being worked on from what i understand. Jason got caught up by legal, Pennywise said no, and they said they wanted Pinhead. With Candyman almost 100% coming i think it's possible we'll see his brother next. Chucky i don't know about because the devs said "oh he can't reach the hook" but they could literally just give him something else. When it comes to anything else, like candyman or stranger things, it's just happens when the opportunity pops up.
What im saying is if we waited for the last icons to be added we would only be getting original chapters

@Aven_Fallen said:
While I think the Skin for Lisa is overpriced for what you get, I think 10 Dollar/Euros for a Skin is ok.
In the end, BHVR needs to make money. And Cosmetics are not giving any ingame advantage and have no real effect on the gameplay. If that Wraith is using the Halloween Skin or the Phantom of the Opera-Skin does not make any difference.
And I prefer Cosmetics being at a high(er) price over higher prices for DLCs.
The cosmetics are priced higher than most free to play games. The rift takes twice as long as any other battlepass ive seen. Dbd is the 19th most played game on xbox this week. Most people who play regularly buy all the dlc. Many spend upwards of 1000$ which is just disgusting
Well disgusting from a consumer perspective but to having people spend massive amounts of money on a game and then have people turn around and defend them for it, why would they ever stop? It's greedy but the community makes it easy for them to be greedy so why wouldn't they willingly stop making so much money?
They're not. The most i hope for is for the rift to not be 200 hours long to nickle and dime people to buy a few tiers (ignoring the fact that whales will buy it all for 50$ day one anyway). Or how about how they release a dlc an hour after the new characters are available for auric cells so people can buy the same ######### twice? They already have loyal whales i don't get why they gotta pull ######### like that
-
I like when it lags durning a skill check but my favorite is when i play clown and lag the whole game
-
I skipped to the screenshots but this is just a post about how to be toxic back lol
-
700 dollars! I bet that's not even super uncommon....but they still want 200 hours for the battlepass or make you buy tiers

@will_i_am_14_85 said:
For survivor, as long as you have the crown by the time the final gen pops, you should get it, that way you are playing the game until the end.
This is a good idea. They KNOW how salty some survivors get in this game and they baby them so often that i don't know what they were thinking when they did this lol.
It really sucks because i hear the other events were really cool but they were before i started playing, now apparently they don't do them anymore because people are stupid

You completely missed the point: every game DBD gets compared to in terms of game modes has tens of millions of dollars in the bank that exclusively go towards catching new players, and are not advertised as a game that makes you shite yourself. I'm not saying you are wrong about the makeup of the playerbase, you're simply ignoring how the various marketing mechanics in play effect the audience and the growth of the game. You cannot advertise this game for kids, you cannot advertise if for a general audience. Why? Because they ALREADY didn't do that and you simply cannot hide the fact that it's a horror game, and that makes it niche. You cannot look at your own experiences with this stuff: DBD isn't a scary game. But it's a horror game, and has to be advertised as such because laws and classifications and tiny little boxes that lawyers like to shove things in.
And as I said, adding anything that would increase que times drastically would have to compensate by drawing in a larger crowd. Which gets expensive the more niche your game is. And DBD is very niche.
I'm 100% sure there is no law anywhere stating you have to advertise a horror game as a horror game, i don't even know what that would imply.
But to further my case about dbd not being a little rinky dink indie game you actually reminded me that it was in a video Trump had put together to show that video games = gun violence....even tho at the time nothing even close to a gun was in the game but regardless the president of the United states of America is aware of Dead by Daylight. He mentioned he's disgusted at what his youngest son plays, he's probably playing this. Dbd has probably been played in the white house.
And yeah it was shown in a negative light as "extreme violence" but it was shown right next to games like Fallout 4 and that whole thing ended up with no one caring anyway.
ALSO fun fact i just checked on Trueachievements, this "niche" game is the 19th most played game on xbox currently. That's 2 spots above Madden 20, a game as casual and mass marketed as a casual mass marketed game can be.

Except that DBD doesn't have much in the way of funds, especially for advertisement, like every other title people keep mentioning. In order to do as you suggest, you need a large playerbase and money for marketing to keep the game afloat while the community transitions, because a lot of people are going to quit just based on que times, which deflates the numbers and makes the game appear less desirable, which means that without marketing new players aren't going to find this game. You've got to keep in mind: DBD isn't like any other game. You have to learn an entirely new skillset to play the game, it's a horror game which inherently limits the playerbase (no kids, no non-horror fans), the community is relatively small and not that dedicated, it's not able to support tournaments (I consider that a plus, but e-sport games inherently have larger communities and free media coverage to attract new players), and the development team is absolutely tiny.
Now throw in another game mode. No matter what, that will increase que times. And it will take effort to code and balance. Which you will have to pay people for. Instead of paying them to do something else, like bug fixes. And then, if new players magically hop on board, they have to wait an insane amount of time between matches. For a very short match. And most will get bored and leave. Now, if you have a ridiculous amount of new players coming in, that's totally fine, but this is DBD: the numbers are never going to be huge. The playerbase will shrink. The que times will keep getting longer. The playerbase will shrink more.
So have fun in whatever new game mode you want to play. I sincerely hope it is fun, because you are going to be waiting quite a while to play it.
1. Dbd has a constant stream of cosmetic items costing 10 dollar a pop, paid DLCs, and even a battlepass.
2. Most people who play the game are survivor mains, most survivor mains aren't horror fans. Survivor is made to be pretty easy to win consistently which is why we have such a diverse community. It attracts not only the toxic crowd but a lot, let me stress, a LOT of kids....Kind of goes back to the game not being very scary. I've had kids invite me to parties at the killer and cuz me out for "camping and tunneling" more than once lol, im talking under 10.
And keep in my im talking about my experience on xbox, if you're on ps4 there's likely to be even more kids and if you're PC im sure there's less because less kids play on PC in general. Speaking of kids, people keep bashing the idea of a FNAF dlc but from the little I've seen of that game, even if it is just a jumpscare fest, it is still way scarier than DBD lol.
Oh speaking of xbox, DBD is on gamepass so they're also getting money for that. I mean all the proof you need that they're doing well is the Silent Hill chapter. Konami didn't do that out of love for the fans obviously. There's profit to be made.
Oh also we don't have tournaments because the game just isn't competitive, going back to what i said about survivor being easy, and for that matter pretty boring to watch.

You don't understand: I'm not talking about some moronic "Ranked Vs Casual" mentality split, I'm talking que split. Which would increase the overall downtime between matches. Which is one of the biggest negatives in DBD after the sheer overwhelming imbalance of individual matches.
The game needs to be better to get more players. Maybe do like overwatch but with one or 2 extra game modes that change daily and weekly. I think it would be doable now and especially when crossplay is enabled.
A lot of friends I've shown the game are horror fans, they want to play killer with friends. That alone im positive would increase the playerbase

Don't matter how the third person would be, it would be terrible to control the killer. Third person mode is usually made for FPS games, and melee in these games are usually a mess
The game was actually originally intended to be 3rd person for the killer and 1st person for the survivor. Obviously a has been changed sense them but that means they at least have a basic idea of how to make it work.
I don't know why they changed it tbh, first person survivor would actually be scary and just amazing. Imagine seeing oni charge at you or seeing ghostface behind a tree

There is no need for sexual orientation in dbd, its a survival/action game not a story one.
This has 40 likes.
This ignores legion, it ignores wraith and nurse, and is basically saying this game shouldn't have ANY story.
But of course they're not attacking the hetero couples or any of the other lore that isn't needed because horror games aren't known for that obviously, just look at the most recent chapter. And when pressed they will likely reply "i don't care about a character being gay i just don't want it in the game!" ignoring the clear contradiction.
It is for this reason that i am once again asking for a drag queen survivor, a symbol of pride to the LGBT community (at least they're at all the parades) and more importantly i just think they're kinda cool lookin.
Even the homophobes should get behind this because it's to make me, a straight man, happy. And at the end of the day isn't that what really matters?
-
I play at lower ranks because i don't find high ranks fun even when i do win most of the time (especially for low rank killers) but i am still sometimes paired with red rank SWF. When this happens i always know because without fail there are t bags and points. At that point I do whatever i don't care, last night it happened and i had 1 sacrifice 2 DCs and one escape because of course one had a key. I actually got dwight on top of the hatch, he was the second DC 😂

No one has made the case for clown yet so allow me
He may not be a high tier killer, or a mid tier or even a low tier. He may not have the most engaging gameplay and the one thing he's really good at is done way better by doctor BUT he does laugh everytime he downs someone and there is no faster to get hate messages than to dominate a team with a clown....so i don't know you tell me

@Swiftblade131 said:
Tier 16
I don't play the game much these days. Maybe 2-4 matches a day at most. At least 1 match for each side for bonus Devotion on first match.
I honestly don't feel any incentive at all to play the game anymore, at least not much. Battle Passes just don't do it for me. They feel empty and the grind isn't worth it, at least not for me and certainly not from a game play perspective. Have to max it to warrant buying it.
I did take took almost a half year break from the game, and when I came back, it felt like nothing at all changed. A lot has changed since release. But anymore it's just the same thing over and over. No real new perks to shift anything, maybe 1 every so often, but more often than not, all 6 new perks from a survivor and killer are average at best, but not viable enough.
Every chapter, we get a mid grade killer that a ton of people deem OP before learning to play against it. Others try to hype it up more than it's actually worth calling it a "game changer", then most of them stop playing it after a month or maxing out it's prestige, or whatever. If the DEVs nerf it because no one wants to learn how to face it, then they get reprimanded. And if they do nothing they get berated anyways.
But hey, maybe I just need to play some more CIV 5.
Might be a hidden motivational tool in there somewhere?
The battle pass model is designed to make you want to play by constantly awarding you, that's why its so effective in fortnite.
The fact that Dbd doesn't shows how big of a failure it is. Whales will buy all tiers day 1 regardless so what's the point of making it so grindy?
-
I hit red rank once and then never again. I still won but every match was a grudge match, there were no chill games it was always tryhard SFW survivors.
Now as a purple rank soon to be red i find all the games easier because i play solo and get competent teammates.
It has been a long time since i played at red ranks and i am still consistently matched with red rank survivors so maybe its not as bad as I remember but if it is it's not worth it. I wish there was a separate ranked mode with no SWF. It would also allow for a shape shifting killer to be added

@LetsPlayTogether said:
Learn to play killer properly. Issue solved. I dont understand why so many killer players dont want to learn how to play properly and instead just ruin other players experience. Its not that hard.
You know I'm a pretty good killer, a way better killer than survivor actually, but i survive nearly every game, the games i don't are normally when im getting tunneled or even more common lately, moried. So as a mediocre, lets even say above average survivor, I will probably escape if you play by da rulez.
But I get it all the killers are just bad, they need to learn to get better and get a PhD in killing survivors but again...im not really that great ay survivor. I don't even really put too much effort in most of the time.
I just think its kind of funny that in this partisan war a lot of "survivor mains" (aka people who play half the game) will tell killers to play by Da Rulez and spend a few 100 hours learning the ins and out of killer while they play in SFW all meta perks. I honestly attribute a ton of my success to spinechill and DH alone. As killer there's no perks that i feel carry me and it took me wayyy longer to git gud at killer than it did with survivor.
Not trying to come at you just food for thought.

The people talking about how it's a good idea are always my teammates 😂
Unless you're grinding the EGC is long enough for you to get out. On the very rare occasion they have blood warden why would you not open the door and start it as fast as possible?

It’s not working as intended, then. It’s not the player base’s fault that BHVR announced the event then the players got less than what they said they would do. I appreciate devils advocacy but this offering not working as intended is a disappointment for the once a year event that was promised.

It’s not broken dude it gives 140% bp no stack instead of 104% and stacking you still get bp you don’t need compensated more bp
140% vs 208% for just 2. It literally says its broken at the top of the forum?
You don't need to do mental gymnastics to defend the devs. No one is attacking the devs, they're complaining about a bug that is a detriment to the game. Im not sure how you can tell me its not lol

they don’t have to necessarily know in game it’s not a major bug they still get 140% bp they just can’t stack them and it will get fixed soon if say it gave 0% bp yes they should tell everyone even through In game newsfeed but it still gives bp and even more just for yourself you can still use them while you prestige they still work just not stacked either work on a different character until it’s fixed or use them for 140% then prestige it’s your choice they aren’t forcing you into anything you are still getting free bp stop asking for more
You're telling me its my choice but if i didn't know (which you're saying doesn't matter) i wouldn't have a choice because i wouldn't know it was broken

The thing is only the event is limited the cakes are permanent you don’t have to rush and use them you can save them up like the previous ones and no bug is mentioned in game they are always on the forums and twitter etc which obviously you are able to see since you are on the forum they still work but they give 140% personal instead so if you want to p3 use them up it’s still extra bp it just doesn’t stack also you don’t have to stop playing I just meant stock them up until at most tuesday when next hot fix comes if not before then
I just recently started using the forums. If i wasn't i wouldn't know about this. I promise you most people, don't know about this which is why you keep seeing cake. You also acknowledge that because im P3ing the fact that they're permanent means nothing to me.
But even if everyone did know about the glitch, you're saying that because you can just wait and horde all your cakes its fair. That's the type of logic you apply to a small indie dev just doing their best to get by. This is a multi million dollar company and the most relevant piece of horror media at almost any given time.
I LOVE dbd. It's one of my favorite games. Love the people behind it. Doesn't mean im going to co sign everything they do and get on me knees any time they put effort into the game. That's what they're supposed to do that's why people spend money on and in the game to begin with

Platform? If PC: disable Vsync (for the skillchecks)
about dead hard: well, its currently not in your favor bc of how the server works. Currently the hit detection is killer sided, so that you dead hard but the killer already swung at you. While you're in your dead hard animation already, the killer has priority and it counts as a hit. Basicly you have to dead hard even earlier or use it for distance.
Yeah I was talking about console optimization but like i said i don't even know what that really means. I assumed these were console specific problems from watching people play on PC on YouTube but for all i know that's just how the game is lol
