I've met cheaters, but how do you even program auto dead hard? How does that even work?
I cannot tell u how it works, but it exists for sure.
@Zozzy said:
I ran into a guy with a lvl 1 steam account and under 100 hours in the game that had a maxed meta perk loadout and never missed a dead hard, even if it made them face plant a wall.
I got suspicious and would teleport right on them but not swing. But they would never use it until i actually attacked...
Yeah, that is very unlikely. I mean god survivors will have perfect timing here and there. But not 3-4 times in a row. But when inexperienced survivors who don't play very well time every dead hard perfectly, then something is seriously wrong.
Btw Im not talking about DH for distance. I mean that DH when you are in close contact with the survivor, try to bait unsuccessfully, then try to make a short attack and the survivor activates DH the moment you press M1. That's really annoying.

sry, my mistake 😂 I meant 2017

@Ula said:
Although this is no breaking news, I agree.
I have 700h+ on pc, and about 200h on dbd mobile.
On pc, I might have played with or against cheaters that I didn't notice except one very obvious flying ghostface throwing hatchets. On dbd mobile, it's about 1/20 game has a cheater, mostly speedhacking survivors. Yes that's a lot.
They are also cheating on DBD mobile? O.o That is really sad...

@tippy2k2 said:
These subtle hacks are even worse than the obvious ones. Obvious ones I can just blow those games off because whatcha gonna do? But subtle hackers...
Are they hacking? Am I just playing badly? Did I miss that swing or did they cheat? Did they actually time DH that well or is it an auto one and I'm wasting my time "baiting" it? Where the hell did that guy go, I was RIGHT on him? Did he cheat or did he just trick me with some fancy footwork? Where did my pants go (that might be unrelated to DBD, still investigating).
It's even worse cause I know I've had games with a subtle hacker who did a poor job of the subtle part but they did EVERYTHING to be super annoying to get me to waste my time chasing them. Lucky for me I figured it out real quick but how much time do players burn chasing after a uncatchable player before they realize it (and at that point, the damage is done as gens are popping like popcorn now)...
I agree, sometimes it's really hard to tell if they're playing fair or cheating. In those cases where I'm not sure, I look at my VoD when I've recorded the match. But if, for example, a badly playing W-Shift Meg divinely dodges a non-lung attack 3 times in a match without looking backwards, then I no longer believe in coincidence :3
-
A statement from the developers would be nice. I tried it myself, but I could never notice any difference.
-
Hillbilly, Bubba, Myers, Piggy, Oni, Demo, Artist, Deathslinger, Spirit are the most fun killers to go against.
Therefore I hate Trapster, Trickster, Huntress and Hag.
-
My personal MM hasn't worked for me since the beginning of the tests. The majority of my matches I'm up against very good survivors, although on average I kill 1 survivor (I'm not bad but I don't want to sweat for the 4k and I meme a lot too) . If everyone knows how to loop and connect tiles and everyone is doing gens I will go into the chill mode. I would get more kills if Id camp and tunnel here and there, when it makes sense, but I dont care about kills. I want to play relaxed myself and I want to play against relaxed people, but that hardly ever happens to me.
-
@Aurelle said:
Yeah the audio in this game is weird. Certain survivors can sound closer than they actually are, footsteps can sound louder and closer than they really are, and healing sounds are really quiet, almost non-existent. Bubba and Billy also have audio issues with their chainsaws.
Yeah, this chainsaw sound bug is annoying. And you forget about huntress' wind up sound. I often can't hear her even though she's right behind me.
-
@Yords said:
Whenever I play killer I feel as if the noise survivors make when running throughout lots of doorways or behind objects is inaccurate. It especially sucks when playing spirit since you need to rely on sound to do well.
With spirit in particular it feels very inaccurate, especially on indoor maps like lerys. Survivors sound close when they aren't, and other times they sound far away when I am literally right on top of them.
On top of that I am pretty sure that survivors still don't make breathing noises when injured while having iron will active. It overall just makes precise tracking as a killer very difficult and misleading.
You are not alone my friend. These audio issues are still a big problem and sometimes they are really annoying. I cant say how often I lost a chase cuz the survivor suddenly stopped moaning. Here and there I cannot hear survivors lying on the ground. Therefore I hear hooked survivors who are already sacrified. Many sounds are too loud (like sacrifices, burning garbage cans) and annoying for both sides. And BHVR should look at the different volume levels of certain survivors. This is one of the reasons why I dont like to play spirit and I would like to know how spirit mains handle this issue.

I'm going to make a prediction :)
It's either:
- We're matchmaking off ranks again
- It's a placebo to see if people's perception of matchmaking improves when they can't see the ranks (people come in late in the month, see that their Ash IV is getting matched against a team of Iri 1 and freak out). The timing makes me 90% sure it's this one.
Curious. I will say my matches have been wild this morning, but it could just be luck.
You mean the devs think some of us are hypocritical and wanna test us? No way!

B = They´re fine
C = Mostly annoying
D = I´d rather dc than play this match
Just my personal opinion on what killers I enjoy most to go against, what are yours?
Trapper and Hag are also my personal nemesis because I still fall into every single trap :'D

I had to Google AITA. Kids…
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2868164#Comment_2868164
That’s not the metric if someone is an arsehole or not. I’ve known many who didn’t see an issue with their behavior, but they were.
Haha, you are not alone. Young people and their superfluous shortcuts.
@syain said:
So I came to find out I'm a very petty person sometimes. This week I got a Bubba daily, went into a match and downed a Feng within the first 30 seconds. This Feng then proceeded to get unhooked and decided to stand still.
"She wants out because she got destroyed", I figured. I chainsawed her and picked up just to get DS'd by the prick who then proceeded to idle once again. This for some reason awakened something inside me, a wrath not even I knew I was capable of, and I decided to M1 her and leave her to bleed out. I didn't mind the crow notifications, I didn't mind her teammates desperately trying to pick her up just for her to instantly get downed again because she refused to move, I wanted her to either wait 4 minutes on the ground or get the 5 minute penalty when she DC'd.
This back-and-forth ended up going on for over 10 minutes, since her teammates kept delaying her death, but she eventually bled out and I kept playing normally. Once the match was over the endgame chat was flooded with report threats and trashtalk, telling me how illegal it is to force someone to die on the ground (which I know it isn't so my conscience is clear on that department), or about how the Feng was actually a victim of her circumstances, and I should've just let her out of the game.
Now, from my perspective, although petty, my actions were justifiable. If she wanted out of the game, she shouldn't have DS'd me. You made me lose 5 seconds of my time, I'm gonna make you lose 4 minutes of yours. Also, if you're having that much of a bad day you can't even try to play after getting downed once, you shouldn't queue. This is not just YOUR game we're talking about, it's mine AND your teammates' game. By giving up in 30 seconds of the game starting, you're automatically dooming your team to lose. A 3v1 at 5 gens is just not winnable for survivors. I believe my actions punished her by making her sit there and watch as her team fell apart because of what she chose to do (she was there, she trashtalked me afterwards). Also also, if she DC'd once she realized my intentions were to make her bleed out and her teammates would keep picking her up, she'd wait 5 minutes instead of over 10. So that's on her too.
Anyway. Because of this one person I grew to hate people who give up early. As Bubba I see those quite often. Cocky survivor gets downed quick because they let an instadown killer sneak up on them, gets frustrated because they played bad and decide "well, screw my team, i'm not doing this". If the person idles or shows signs of giving up when there are over 3 gens left I'm just gonna slug them to death. It feels satisfying, like, "allow me to remind you I'm the one who gets to choose when you leave the game".
I've been reflecting a lot and maybe this is something I should tell my therapist about. Should I feel guilty or am I doing the right thing? AITA for doing this?
If you feel guilty because you wasted your time and someone else's time, you will not get absolution here. Are you so triggered by a DS that you let the person bleed out because of it?
-
Even if I wasn't expecting to win, I would still play the game instead of waiting for another match. That would be a waste of my time.
I mean I don't know how it feels to lose because I always 4k with perkless clown on every map. Kappa.

@HelloKitty2022 said:
Gibt es eine Mail-Adresse? Ich habe es ingame schon gemeldet.
Die Situation: Von Anfang an war die Situation fishy. Der Killer wurde zu mir geführt und hat nur mich gejagt. Ich habe dc und wollte mir das Geschehen aus der Sicht der anderen Überlebenden ansehen. Ein weiterer Überlebender wurde geopfert und dann farmten die beiden Überlebenden mit dem Killer massiv BP. Das ging insgesamt eine gute halbe Stunde. Ich habe Fotoserien gemacht.
Dann habe ich festgestellt, dass alle 3 bei Steam befreundet sind und sie im aftergame chat darauf angesprochen. Die meinten kackdreist Coop mit dem Killer, BP farmen und als Freunde des Killers eine gemeinsame "Session" herbeiführen wäre total legal und würde BHVR nicht stören. Tatsächlich gibt es aber einen Punkt den man melden kann wo es um coop mit dem Killer geht.
Zudem habe ich die Namen und ihre Freundeslisten für BHVR abfotografiert (Sceenshot). Ich würde das jetzt gerne BHVR melden in der Hoffnung, dass die dauerhaft für DbD gesperrt werden.
Without a video evidence there wont be happen much... I reported a flying Dwight years ago, but nothing got done because I only had screenshots to prove it...

@Sluzzy said:
Extreme slowdown.
Killers already have massive slowdown perks, his power is a slowdown, and he has anti-loop on top of all that.
And somehow Pinheads that I face know where the cube is and it becomes a train wreck, especially solo Q.
You can't even solve the box when chains are hunting.
Are there any killers you enjoy playing against?
-
It's hard to say because there are many weak killers. If I had to pick one, it would be Ghostface. Clown, Legion and Trapper are also close.
-
I hope it is coming back soon. I still wanna finish my 50 4k's in a row on haddonfield with perkless Clown :'(

@ACleverName4Me said:
This was the question that finally made me create an account.
But in all seriousness I enjoy playing as the Clown, Trickster, Trapper, Ghostface, Legion, Doctor and Wraith. I have played every killer in the game and these guys are my favorite to play. Don't get me wrong, I know it is possible to 4k as them but it isn't as easy if you were to play as a good Nurse, Blight or Spirit. I have played those 3 killers and I don't enjoy their mechanics. When I hear a glass bottle shattering and or see some bear traps in my survior games I am excited because it's not a Huntress, Nurse or Spirit. Variety I love when it comes to perk builds, add-ons, items, killers and survivors.
If you leave a comment please be nice and let me know if you play a "bad" killer and why you play them.
Wraith, Doctor, Myers, Clown are my favorite M1 killers. But I like playing almost all killers. Exceptions are Trickster, Huntress, Hag and Ghostface.
-
I don't like hex totems in general. The old Ruin was useless against good groups. It only penalized people who didn't hit great skill checks. The new Ruin is definitely better, but it doesn't do much good if each survivor is working on a generator alone.
-
Ok. Maybe. Nope.

@cordonrouge said:
seriously. why should i get stressed being looped for hours and applying non existant pressure because of healing when i can just sit on a hook and then grab another survivor to slug. it's literally so easy and it's a guaranteed 2k at the very least, if not more.
I dont blame people for camping in general cuz it is part of the game. It is just boring and I dont care about 4k that much. So I prefer to chase people in circles. I only camp when 3 people are running around the hook like fat kids around a chocolate cake.

Yes, this both + Legion in Feral Frenzy. I dont like power walking.

People who start such discussions are still secretly in love with DBD. They just don't want to believe that after the good time they had together, DBD never called them back and just disappeared. Because of this, they only feel hate and a deep desire for revenge because DBD is now making other people happy. Just let go!
I can't explain it any other way.
-
Bloodpoint farming is annoying and I dont like it, cuz I dont need bloodpoints and have all perks on each character. BUT to be honest and fair - in my early noob days I was happy, if a killer wanted to farm cuz there was much more grind than nowadays 😂
Today, when my mates wanna farm I will ignore it and just do the gens and leave. As long as no one forces me to farm it is fine. And thanks to god it barely happens to me.
@cordonrouge said:
When i queue up, i actually want to play the game. i dont want to play hold m1 simulator. i only have so much time in a day to dedicate to dbd. and when you only play a couple of games and both of those are nice/afk killers it really pisses me off. of course the survivors are not even gonna rush the gens, they'll just play around with the killer stalling the game more.
when a survivor trolls you can still play the game, if a killer doesnt you've just wasted about 20 minutes of your life. this behavior needs to be punished.
Farming killer is not a nice killer. Nice killer = no tunneling, no camping, no sweating against 3 people after an early disconnect AND not killing little Feng Min who is the last survivor and sacrifices her med kit to u <3 This is the way Im mostly playing like.
-
I play a lot of killers that are considered being weak, but I also don't care if I win. I mean, the killer shouldn't be total crap. Sadako isn't strong, but there are killers weaker than her imo. If the killers are fun, I don't mind how strong they are. As far as I sweat again for the 4k, I will take a break.
-
There are many more words that are censored like "doch" which has several meanings like "but", "however", "nevertheless" ... Chat filters are really weird. Maybe "doch" is a vulgar word in another language, idk :/

Because people should form their own opinions by playing the killer themselves instead of thinking everything a streamer says it's a fact and shouldn't be debated.

Arguments from authority should be avoided.
However, when a very balanced, very neutral and extremely experienced player who essentially dissects this game for a living says that something is underpowered, they probably aren't wrong.
How dare you? This is blasphemy! Why should we use our own brains when smarter famous streamers will do it for us?

Why are you still debating here? When a famous streamer like Otz tells you the truth, then internalize it and spread the news!

@MikaelaWantsYourBoon said:
This is why we should not judge before try. I loved Sadako, she is alright killer. Some stupid maps can hurt her (The Game, Coldwind etc.) but with televisions, she can leave loop if survivor has strong spot. CoH is problem but this perk hurts all killers, so it is not just Sadako's issue.
You already mentioned, she has great synergy with info and slowdown perks. I think she is decent killer. I just wanna one little change. Teleport should have shorter cool-down and she is okey.
Agreed, I wont judge her before trying her a lot. I mean I was the first to start a "Sadako is weak" discussion in the PTB feedback category, but that was my first impression from playing her in KYF for an hour. After playing her for two days, I didn't change my mind. Still, I like this killer a lot!
Now I need to get all the perks for her first and then find the best working build. This will take some time, so I will not comment on her current status. I mean I've been 4king a lot but that's more because most people don't know how to play against her. This is why people like Sluzzy consider her being OP on day 1...
-
@GoodBoyKaru said:
The best build is probably Dead Man's Switch/Pain Resonance/Starstruck/Agitation. Purple range, green recharge, go to town.
My build is add-on less, Agitation/BBQ/I'm All Ears/Starstruck, though I'm currently experimenting with replacing BBQ and I'm All Ears with Pain Resonance and Floods of Rage. Not entirely convinced, probably gonna go back to the main one.
As for dealing with indoor maps, it depends on the map.
Lerys is very very difficult and I often find myself walking more than blinking. It's very hard to have consistent LOS so you'll want to do lots of shorter blinks here.
The Game is fairly straight forward due to it's size and being able to move around both floors a lot easier than most. Pallets aren't a concern to you, only real issue is trying to short blink on the top floor and going through the ground. @edgarpoop gave a good tactic to deal with this, instead of blinking at the floor walk backwards as they run towards you and let off a fully charged blink that way. Works better.
RPD is an instant loss. Try your best and don't get annoyed.
Midwich is one of her best maps. You can get anywhere within 2 blinks- one to the courtyard, one from the courtyard. Long, straight corridors are easy to blink through and harder to mindgame. Only issue is finding survivors really but advanced gamesense or perks can help with that.
I think that's all?
I dont know which is the best build for Nurse, but this is for sure a strong one! DMS + Pain Resonance is always a good choice and Starstruck + Agitation is very good on nurse.
@BadZilla said:
Gave up on nurse long ago but been playing her recently and doing pretty good but every match I used shadow born I feel like it's a wasted perk slot but it's good the wider fov helps tracking survivors and not sure if it's placebo but I land more hits with it didn't test a lot without it and for other perks I use ruin undying and corrupt intervention or tinkerer instead I had a good run on open maps but then had meat plant map it was torture and horrible it's easy to lose sight and you can't blink down to outplay survivors trying to outplay you ect and it's difficult keeping track in a chase and blinking through that many walls and rooms but I managed to get 2 kills and 3rd survivor was dead on hook and downed him on exit door but he crawled out anyway got +1 pip which is a win in my book and I'm playing in high mmr against constant red ranks and 5000 hour survivors it's difficult to avoid gen rushes and toxic swf like the game before it I had them sabotaging and body blocking hooks for me ... I'm having a bit of difficulty in loops and some jungle gym pallets a lot of times I want to short blink but I just don't go through whatever object infront of me and I don't know if my hits are luck a lot of times too so I'd like some tips to win more games.
You could also give that Hex build a try: Undying, Ruin, Haunted Grounds, Retribution. Otherwise I also like to play her with any aura reading perks like Im All Ears, BBQ or Nurse Calling + Monitor & Abuse. This help me a lot on maps like Lerrys or RPD.

@Brokenbones said:
Wanted to make a thread talking about the issue of burnout and wanted to see if I could get some insight into various things like what causes people to be burned out from DBD, what they do about it, if they bother to keep trying or just stop playing all together.
For those interested in the thread:
On a scale of 1-9 with 1 being not at all and 9 being burned out to the point of not playing anymore, how burned out are you with DBD.
Feel free to be as brief or long-winded as you like with any explanation you want to give. This doesn't have to strictly be any particular thing either it could be which ever side you prefer to play, a character you main etc.
For those wondering why I'm making this thread, after today's session with the game I'm feeling pretty disappointed with it. Not because the new content is particularly bad or anything, the Ringu chapter is pretty well made and I can't really find fault with it.
My issue at the moment is it feels like all my attempts to try and be the change I want to see with this game always falls flat. Mainly on the survivor side, I'm not burned out with Killer necessarily i just don't feel like playing it. This isn't gonna be a rant about matchmaking or anything of the sort, I'm just not enjoying my matches and I feel powerless to do anything about it, leading to my frustration and burnout with the game.
I know a bunch of people have been making a big thing of the whole steam chart situation, I don't know how to feel about it myself since it's not the whole picture - consoles aren't included and neither are the other PC platforms.
TL;DR - How burned out are you with DBD on a scale of 1-9 and why?
Since I've stopped taking the game too seriously and not playing too much Killer, I'd say 1-2

I think around September 2021, I made this crossover art of Meg as Tracer from Overwatch. I used to be so obsessed with Overwatch, it was one of my favorite games back then, but I stopped playing/following overwatch content around 2019.

She's better than boons. Coh sucks to go against as any killer
She suffers from CoH more than other killers. Her ability is a combination of camping and Hit & Run. CoH makes her much weaker than before.

As far as I know, Coal Tower is balanced (one of the few). What makes you think it's Clown sided?
There is actually no clown sided map in dbd. Don't take me too seriously. But Coal Tower is indeed one of the better maps for killers.

I love Sadako, she is super cute.
I love Ring and Ringu movies.
She has fun power, i loved on PTB
Perks are meh but not trash.
I have all killers, i always supported BHVR and their game. Because DbD was my fav horror game.
But...
First i will need to open perks but i don't like DbD's grind. It needs so much BPs. And for this BPs, i need to spend so much time.
Second, most DbD maps are not balanced. Sadako is fun and good killer but what she can do on this god loops if survivors know what they do?
And third, CoH and Dead Hard are broken against m1 killers. Sadako is m1 killer, end of story.
Don't fight it. Trust me, you'll get her sooner or later.

Jesus! Do you know what satire is? Read my first sentence again, you might notice something: "... just play clown. He's still a beast and with VHS porn he's definitely OP!"
And nope, against this team facecamping wasnt necessary. Also not tunneling. I was patrolling 4 gens around the hook, so u could consider it proximity camping, yes. They could have unhook Meg easily, but they didnt. 2 hooks later I met Meg again and ofc I hooked her and she died.

It is really bad, she can teleport a bit in front of her, way worse than Demo, Freddy, or Sadako. When will they release a viable killer?
Pig already exists. We dont need more viable killers!

@GannTM said:
I consider Spirit to be a super fun killer at this current state and I wanna explain why I think so. First off, I know this is opinion based as everyone is entitled to their preference on who they find fun but I wanted to have this discussion.
I want to address the fact that she is a uniquely designed killer. I see a lot of arguments against that as people claim that the past nerf took away her uniqueness. It’s simply not true. What other killer in the game promotes using ears to counterplay the killer? I mean you can make a case for Demo as he’s loud but that is not how Demo’s counterplay is intended to work. It’s an audio back-and-forth interaction with Spirit which is unique to the whole roster.
Next I’d like to talk about viability. Spirit is most definitely a viable killer at high levels whether you want to think that or not. She’s a killer that doesn’t rely on perks and add ons to do well if you know how to play her at her well. Now I’m no means the best player in the world. I’m decent with Spirit because I play her a lot but calling me a god with her is a false statement. I can still perform well because she’s simply a strong killer and I have experience with her. A stronger killer can be more fun because you feel like an actual powerhouse being the 1 against the 4, but obviously I can’t speak for everyone as others like weaker killers better which is understandable.
Her add on variety has improved drastically since her nerf in 5.3.0. You got add ons like Uchiwa and Kintsugi Teacup that let you boulder through pallets. You got Senko Hanabi which is a decent counter to windows. Furin can make for fun perk combos and can maybe help bamboozle survivors on gens. Wakizashi Saya has its own skill cap to it and is actually pretty decent if you know how to use it. You get the picture? All these add ons do completely different things that isn’t just a boost in numbers which is what BHVR should really focus on when designing killer add ons (obviously while still making them worth using).
I want to talk about her speed. I think most can agree speedy killers that can jet across the map are more fun than slower ones because they can close distance faster and can start new chases quicker. This is also fun for the survivors as it’s less M1 sim with a speedy killer that has map pressure. This obviously applies to the game as a whole. Spirit being 176% can take advantage of the speed and apply it to a realistic setting in DBD, making bigger maps not as big of a problem for her, which brings me to my last point.
So many killers are map dependent but I would consider Spirit to be one of the more map independent killers in the game. Are indoor maps a problem for her like Blight and Billy? It’s not. A killer being map dependent is less fun because they rely on RNG to have a fun game.
So those are a few of my points on why I think Spirit is an amazing and fun killer. Again, if you don’t like playing as or against her, your opinion is 100% valid. I just wanted to have a discussion on what makes her fun for me and see if others agree.
I've always loved Spirit and I love playing against her. She's in a good place right now, but I rarely see spirits these days. I like playing her too, but I'm not good with her because I'm struggling with the sound localization.

Is the penalties still on? I know I haven't played in awhile but I swear people didnt DC this much
Yeah, in europe it is. My DBD crashed today and gave me a 5 min timeout...

People are quitting against everything, even if u are playing nice. When a new rift starts it becomes even worse, cuz some people are only doing their quests. That´s why Im glad we have got a dc penalty. But sometimes Im thinking the same like u.

Also can't wait to continue my 50 kills in a row with perkless clown on haddonfield :'(

Even then you wouldn't run that perk. Self Care is basically the 5th killer perk. Why use SC if you can ask your friends to come meet up to heal at shack or w/e? Just makes NO sense at all.
Again, I repeat it for u - "I guess they were a swf because they were from the same country and switched at the last second. And they also played very offensively (flashy saves, locker and vault spamming) Sure, I don't know exactly, but solo guys don't usually play like that."
To selfcare - yeah, Im playing with friends which are not great at the game and still love this perk. And Im not the guy who tells his friends, what perks they have to use. I dont like selfcare, but I cannot stop people using it.
