I'm not enjoying it, on either side. Either I have teammates trying for saves and failing miserably because they get cocky and forget about there being a second killer and we end up with 4 dead at 6 gens, or I'm playing killer being constantly locked into a cycle of blinds which is a migraine trigger for me. I think the flashbang needs a longer cooldown before being recrafted, and if we're going to have a Survivor class based all around flashlights, Killers should get a class to counter it, i.e. Lightborn. Right now the only way I can play is as Wraith because while he is cloaked he breaks pallets faster than the blind animation can happen. As much as I like Wraith, I'd like to be able to play other killers too without being worried about having a hoard of survivors constantly baiting so they can get their "sick flash blind" for TikTok. I've also noticed how much this is screwing over survivors I play against, as the same person will be following killers all game, trying to bait a chase and refusing to do generators, then proceed to be an a** in the EGC. Pretty much every Torchbearer I've played with or against have done this, it's pretty freaking ridiculous and needs to be better finetuned.
Honestly if they don't give us a version of Lightborn as either a class or a tweak to one of the classes, I just won't play 2v8 anymore. Which sucks because I like goofing off with my sister on there. But I'm not risking migraines that can send me to the ER for a game.

Hopefully this games brings your hours of happiness. As people have said basics don't get attached to anything. Watch streamers to learn but do not attempt some of the manoeuvres they are doing they take high skill which I can't do.
Be careful not to spend too much money on unnecessary things. Try to only buy licences or one or two chapters to start with or if there's a sale depending on how much money you're willing to spend. Don't spend too much money that you might not get value out of. A mistake I made. A survivor I recommend getting is Kate for Windows of Oppertunity. Clown is dull in my opinion but you could find him fun.
If you feel yourself getting bored or too frustrated don't keep playing burnout is a real thing in this game. I took a 6 month long break and came back refreshed and may be looking at a shorter one or just switching mostly to killer for a while.
Don't let other peoples toxic attitude bring you down. And if you do have a friend who plays the game or wants to play the game play with them while you're learning as a solo Q player I don't recommend starting in solo Q.
Watch gameplay of a killer before buying with ingame currencies and especially real money. Its up to you to find what you find fun. I play pig despite her not being strong because I find her fun and I like to have some friendly matches.
One last and very important tip play killer and survivor this in my opinion is key to early success on both sides.
Have fun and may the odds be ever in your favour.
I really like this advice, I wasn't planning on spending any money any time soon for the other survivors/killers, but watching streamers to see what I like didn't occur to me. I really wish that Dead by Daylight had the option of letting you "test" killers/survivors you don't have in bot matches, to see if you like them. And I know from experience about the burnout thing, I also play World of Warcraft and someone I played with just took it way too seriously and I just couldn't play for months because of burnout. I might stream the game for friends but I never plan on taking the game seriously like that, it's a way for me to have fun and unwind after work, and it's going to stay that way.

Kate denson is the one you want. Probably the strongest set of perks on a single character imo.
And for killer i wasn't talking about tunneling the same surv over and over 🤣 i meant tunnel vision. When a killer zones in on a chase and commits to it for far too long, loses a bunch of gen progress for just 1 hook state.
Ah, I can see how that would be a problem! Still, takes away the fun of it, especially if I'm playing a killer that can set traps lol

Top tip for both roles.
Survivor: use. windows. Of. Opportunity.
Such a good perk for beginners, lets you be much more effective in chase, seeing pallets and vaults through walls is invaluable and lets you plan on the fly and be totally aware of where the nearest safe spot it.
Killer: do. Not. Tunnelvision.
So many killers do this, if a surv is dunking on you in chase sometimes leaving them injured and going to pressure gens is the best call. The longer you focus on 1 surv, the longer 3 other survs have to rush gens. If you leave them injured then you may get an easy down later or if they get healed it's buying you time. Bit of a balance, you don't want to abandon every chase but knowing when to shift gear and keeping an eye on the bigger picture is very important for killer.
P.s. your surv main is mainly just a cosmetic choice. Mechanically they are exactly the same, the only difference is appearance and the noises they make, which is a pretty negligible difference except for a few extreme examples, i.e yoichi's bright yellow raincoat making him easy to spot or Bill's insanely loud hacking smokers cough. Aside from that it's just whichever character you like best 😊
I don't have windows of oppurtunity yet, but I'll be getting that soon! Once I figure out which survivor has it lol. As for tunneling, that takes away the fun of it :( I'd rather set some traps or something and wait for that payoff then just chase some poor dude while his teammates abandon him to his fate

So if I understand you correclty, you are confused about the hooks respawning? The reason for that is fairly simple. The killer's objective is to hook survivors. And when survivors can potentially break all hooks in an area permanently, that makes the killer unable to progress their own objective.
Sabotage is best used to prevent the killer from getting to a specific hook while they carry a survivor. This can potentially allow the survivor to wiggle off or deny the killer hooks in strategic areas. You'll learn to identify when that is the case as you play.
The game is quite hard when you just started playing, so it's normal to struggle on either side. The best thing you can do is to take every loss as a learning opportunity. This also helps with keeping a positive attitude towards the game and the community.
I never knew the hooks respawned ahaha! I was so confused because of that but now it makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

Welcome to the fog.
DBD is a fairly complex game with a bunch of different mechanics, maps and combinations of powers, addons, items and perks. It takes a while to get used to all of it. Don't expect to learn everything right away. It takes time. Many people here have thousands of hours and I assure you, we still learn. Be patient, look at what perks other killers / survivors run and practise identifying them throughout the match.
Playing both sides also helps you learn how others play. Sometimes other survivors will teach you how chasing actually works and killers will demonstrate how to use different powers. It helps keeping the game fresh and engaging too, since it's otherwise a bit repetitive.
When it comes to which survivor would best be suited to start with, I recommend Meg Thomas because of her perks. Sprint Burst is a very strong perk, that can help you in different situations, Quick & Quiet is a good perk to give you a little extra edge in some chases and Adrenaline is a pretty strong perk too. Other than that, it doesn't really matter too much what survivor you pick first. All survivors have the same abilities and only differ in their visual design as well as their voices and teachables. Other good perks for beginning survivor players are Lithe (teachable perk of Feng Min) and Windows Of Opportunity (teachable of Kate Denson). Bill has the teachable Unbreakable, which is pretty strong as well but you're most likely not going to need it as you start playing as it is a counter to a strategy, that experienced killers would use more often than beginners.
There isn't really any perk, that prevents sabotage in particular. Dying Light and Thanatophobia make it slower but other than that, there isn't really a perk that would counter it. Could you give us a bit more information, like what killer you played against and what exactly the problem was? It's a bit hard to tell what was going on otherwise.
I think it was Micheal Myers, I kept sabotaging the same hooks, over and over again. It happened in a match against Oni too. Before this I only really watched H2O Delirous playing DbD, which is how I found out about the game and decided to give it a try. But trying to kill a hook and having it reappear was rather disheartening to say the least lol! So far I've only really been playing survivor because every time I try to play as killer it never loads hahaha! I've had some friendly folks helping me out, and some killers who realized I was new and weren't jerks about it even though I was most definitely an easy kill. And I have a friend who will be helping me practice with bots as a killer, so far my practice with Trapper has been... less than successful lmao. All in all, I'm having a lot of fun, even though people keep telling me to run away while I still can... which, that's not happening. Been a fan of the game since it came out and now I can finally play it.
