I would love to be able to bind specific perk slots to the chat wheel. It would only need to display the perk icon next to may name to convey what I'm trying to do.

How do you estimate the distance between you and the killer?

You just have to get a feel for it. When you see that red light (killer’s headlights) touching your survivor’s feet or higher, he’s in hitting distance. 



That is the most useless hint I have ever seen



Sorry, maybe that’s the problem. You aren’t seeing it. In that case, suck it up, buttercup.

if there ain’t a wall, pallet, or window between you and the killer, he’s gunna smack ya. Are you seriously asking for a “fix” for something common perception can predict in less than a second? 

Also a attitude to people trying to help you does not help you as people won't comment to people that act hostile to a bit of advice from experiences players I have a lot of time in game and I'm still making the mistake like that at times
You gave me an attitude, I don’t take kindly to people that are ungrateful when others try to help. I didn’t think you’d be asking something as simple as “how do you know when you’re safe from getting hit?” Which is a pretty easy to answer question, if there’s nothing in bwtween you and the killer, you need to change that pronto.

it's like you 're asking for food and someone gives you an empty plate. It's not helpful to say "get better".

It is. And it’s not what I told you. I said to get a feel, that means pay attention, not necessarily sweat. And by the way, if you’re asking for food, a plate would be helpful because then you would have something to put the food on. It’s progress. Nothing is instant. Time to learn.

EDIT: Once again you are only grateful for instant benefits.

Yes lets give all starving African kids plates.

If you're the kind of person that responds to hints like that, then there's not much chance you're going to improve.

Im sorry, now i know that I need to get better at learning the distance. ######### why didn't I think of that

I have a friend who has Dead by daylight on PC. I recently bought Dead by daylight on PS4. Unfortunately, we can't play together since we are on other platforms. My friend recently bought a PS4 too. My question is: Do you have any plans (or are you willing) to add a feature so that my friend can play Dead by daylight with his PC account on PS4?

I love the game so far and keep the good work up 🤘

It could be done if the game tracked progression on a "DbD account" like Fortnite does. However this is not the case.

in PC players also able to play on PS4/XBOX??? Comment by Johdude October 30, 2018

Even if you don't want to hear it, it is mostly latency. So long as the killer's hitbox and the survivor's hitbox overlap during their attack, it's going to register a hit. There is going to be a delay there, and even a split second is enough to make it look like a miss in close quarters. So the simple answer is latency, like it or not.
Beyond that, there's also smoothing in play. As you're playing, the game isn't sending information back and forth thousands of times per second. That would cause a lot of lag for people with weaker connection. Online games will send information periodically and fill in the blanks on your end in between. It's not 1:1. (Massively simplified e.g.: He was looking this way, but now he's looking that way. Rather that just snapping from one direction to the other and looking he's teleporting around, the game smoothly rotates them to the correct direction.) This adds a slight delay to what you see.
But the important thing is that if you got hit, it's because they did actually hit you. It's not just giving them a free hit for no reason.

how do you explain then that it also hits on the killer side, when they are the host of the match

The killer's side is mostly a visual thing. It checks if you hit and then goes through the animation, locking on in the process. At that point the killer already got the hit and the game is just doing its best to make it look right. Sometimes that'll mean locking on to where the survivor was when the hit was validated, even if they moved since. Again, there's a little bit of latency and smoothing at play.

Does this mean that I hit when I as a killer swing at a survivor and turn around during the swing?

Let's do some math:

Wrong capsule-shaped surv hitbox that is 3x times bigger than the actual surv and doesn't change with any movement (except crouch)

PLUS

Huge spheric shaped killer hitbox that can hit in any direction in 90% of the lunge movement

PLUS

Lag due to p2p connection

IS EQUAL TO

Counter-intuitive collision system you have to get used to after hundreds of hours of play (if you're a surv, if killer is just a gift).

THEREFORE

Just get used to this #########, is not gonna change: when they tried to rework the huntress hatchets to a more realistic one they made a mess cause suddenly they had to aim (lol).

Exactly. When it doesn't even lign up from a killer's perpective, I can only imagine what it looks like on the survivor's side.
