While i think some existing survivors would be fine if they were revealed homosexual, i dont know how it would work if they were turned trans
This is actually an interesting thought!
while it could work for some characters, as their childhood/time before transition might have just not been talked about yet for some characters it’s really not fitting eg Claudette who we already know from tome story as a little child, or Zarina who has had her whole identity crisis and self acceptance arc as Karina and while they could write them as trans I kinda feel like it would feel like a retconn?

Making it so Archive challenges doesn't block the end game chat window and cause me to accidentally back out of the results screen thinking to try to type in the chat window.
That has actually never happened to me?
i guess it’s because of the hud scaling?

Perk search bar is really needed. I really hope that gets ready anywhen soon. Or at least a system what makes it much easier to find perks in no time. It's getting more pain with every new perk which finds the way into the game. 😅
Search bar as well as some filter options (such as ‚totem related perks‘, ‚healing perks‘, ‚chase perks‘, ‚aura perks‘ etc)

60 FPS?
or is that a balance change
I am not firm in the terminology. And it would be great to have along with console optimization…. But… even I am not as optimistic that this will come anytime soon (or at all for last gen..) sadly..

@Mandy said:
Will just say a lot of those are not quality of life changes but changes that affect gameplay themselves - things like hooks not permanently breaking for example, these are things that are in the game for balance, not quality of life.
A quality of life change are things like colour blind mode, the visual terror radius etc.
well that’s kinda the whole issue of the community asking for a Game Health and or QoL update instead of a content chapter - we can’t really separate those clearly and obviously most are talking about balance changes
but which QoL feature do you think will get implemented next? 🙃

Yes lol
luckily we know where the devs stand on this topic. Although they won’t just go and create any characters that fit any LGBTQ+ checkmate (which would be a wrong approach), they are pro representation ✨
-
Character models losing collision after an extended amount of time being inactive on both sides would be cool.
otherwise, finally controller settings, and graphic settings (such as anti aliasing which has been confirmed/promised back in 2020)

the rift cosmetics were announced to not be exclusive right before the first rift released, those were never planned to be fully exclusive cosmetics.
Requesting a source for this please. I know about the website post / blog post where the Rift was announced, but that did not say that all items will return. It said most items will return (after a minimum of six months). And this post has (probably) been deleted (I can't find it anymore since the website update), so it's possible that this statement doesn't apply to any future Rift releases.
Here is a more recent forum post (more recent than the website post) by Mandy confirming the website statement, from December 2020 (full thread link here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/comment/1820213/, read for full context):

every survivor in the game can be gay for all i care. i just dont see why its such a big deal to some people
It’s a big deal because heterosexuality is represented everywhere since ever in the media and anything LGBTQ+ has been pretty much excluded or tokenized or just badly represented and even now when we get to more representation it’s mostly being talked down.
also we are all individuals, different themes and topics are important to each of us and that’s ✨okay✨

What do you mean? He was a man that made a skin suit out of women to become a woman.
Yes, but he wasn’t actually trans. It’s been a long time since I have seen the movie so maybe they didn’t make it clear enough, but it’s explained well in the book! Buffalo Bill is not representative of the LGBT community.

screw it, make everyone gay KEKW
srsly i dont know why sexuality matters in a horror game
The Horror genre has always had heavy ties with sexuality, just think about he first slasher movies, it has almost always been about a group of hormon steered teens that rather have sex in a secluded area than stay in a group together when there is a mass murderer running around killing their friends. Or look at Hellraiser lol.
thing is, the argument of sexuality not mattering in a horror game kind of only comes up when it’s about anything but heterosexuality? 🤔

You make a good point on Twins. I considered maybe that Charlotte or Victor may be trans, however... I think lore wise that their being so strangely conjoined Twins is part of the reason everyone thought their mother was a witch. Like conjoined twins just can't be a boy and a girl, it doesn't work that way... but if their mother was a witch? The townspeople thought that their mother evil and her master the Devil would totally create an abomination like Charlotte and Victor. Burn the witch!
So that leaves you with the question of what kind of world did Charlotte and Victor come from? Was it a world where the supernatural does exist and witches that commune with Satan exist (whether their mother actually did or not is irrelevant) are 100% verifiable, or is it more like our world where some believe that kind of thing exists, but nobody can give definitive proof?
I mean. I guess at that time even in our world it wouldn’t be surprising for the accusation when a woman got normal conjoined twins. And now that I think about it more, the mother gave the names and used them in Charlottes memories right? so it’s probably safe to assume it’s just an oversight or it’s a world different from ours where conjoined twins just can be of different sex. Also Victor died of a very young age where he probably wasn’t aware of what being trans would actually mean, even if they experienced gender dysphoria?

@Seraphor said:
I believe Felix was confirmed to have a wife if I'm remembering correctly? There may be another couple survivors in a similar boat. Otherwise, all others should be fair game. But I kinda prefer it that way, leave it up to the imagination of the players. A couple of lore updates here or there that reveal a partner of some kind in their backstory are fine, but we don't need to have a full identity profile on every character.
Yui would seem the most natural to me, as her backstory is already primed for the inclusion of a female romance in there at some point.
I fear that including a new trans character could lean too much into stereotypes and promote a lot of trolling. Maybe an androgynous character who's low-key non-binary would be the better approach.
Felix has a wife with whom he expects a child, yeah. Going to be a father was a huge part of his release lore and how he ended up in the fog and all.
i did make a list a long time ago in another of these threads, I guess i should get all of them (not that you asked for it, I just felt like redoing that):
Nurse has had a husband and she lost herself completely after his death.
Oni must have had children (at least one son) since Rin is his direct descendant.
Legions Frank and Julie didn’t leave out anything for our imagination in their tome story and are definitely a thing.
Ace is described as a womanizer in some of his cosmetic descriptions.
David has had a girlfriend at some point - this is explained in his ‚coming-out Story‘ as something he tried as he/his parents wouldn’t accept him how he actually is.
Not to mention any licensed characters with confirmed gender/sexuality in their source material.
also plenty of heterosexual characters mentioned in the various backstories as many parents being directly referred to as mother and father etc.
some interesting tidbits:
Twins (Charlotte and Victor) are conjoined twins - which are pretty much confirmed to have the same biological sex as far as I am aware - maybe an oversight on the writers part, or maybe one of them is trans?
Yui has had a partner mentioned by name in her tome story - though you cant really assume the gender by the mentioned Japanese name - it’s pretty much the only romantical relationship mentioned in lore that’s completely open for interpretation. Also the previously mentioned mobile exclusive that is talking about a crush on a female celebrity.

@Nirgendwohin said:
I don't think any of the survivors or killers should be assigned a gender or sexuality. every player should decide for himself how he plays his character.
Fair enough mentality. Though pronouns have been used since release and (parts) of the sexuality of characters were mentioned in backstories since Nurses introduction. So now we are here and LGBTQ+ characters won’t get excluded. These are BHVRs characters, and they are not avatars but complete characters on their own, with personalities, backstories, lives, hobbies, jobs, character traits, and relationships and genders and everything.

Alright !
I'll admit I haven't read everyone's lore, so I'm just like. I wouldn't really like BHVR to do a JKR and pull a "oh yeah remember that character he's gay now" with little actual development.
I'm all for lgbt characters, just not if they're introduced only to placate people on pride month, if that makes sense. =)
I completely agree! They did it with David in a tome story, and they even tied it to previous backstory so it really didn’t feel out of place but as a continuation. And I assume/hope they will do this for any future reveals as well.

Sure, I actually feel the same. But we don’t really have a say in who they will write what about, they are BHVRs characters after all!
if it’s in bad faith and contradicting existing lore I am the first to criticize them for that though!

@HugTheHag said:
I think going back and retconning a character as lgbt is a bit lazy, so if there's a new lgbt survivor introduced soon I hope it's low key introduced in their lore in a way that's hopefully natural.
That being said, Haddie's queer and my gf and that's non negociable ! /j
There is almost no character that would get retconned by being confirmed as LGBTQ+? Time stories are just telling more about characters backgrounds and usually not retconn stuff..

Hm. Thalita or Renato haven’t been confirmed either way yet, and their tome stories are just about to be released. I could see either of them.
as to existing chars, I think Yui got a mobile exclusive cosmetic which has some description hinting at a crush on a female K-pop star? Could be wrong about it though.

I'm mostly going off of memory, I'm pretty sure BHVR stated somewhere years ago that they wanted to move away from limited cosmetics. This was reflected by bringing regular Rift cosmetics to the store after a while, which was unusual for a battle pass. I know it's a "trust me bro" moment, so I could be wrong but I've seen a bunch of people under the same impression.
Here is the article saying they found a way to "isolate the players that have played the event":
https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/108882/release-information-3-4-0#latest
And here they went back on that, saying they no longer had a way to verify if they were earned legitimately. All players received the event cosmetics but not the legacy ones because they were more special:
https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/164287/news-unlocking-event-cosmetics#latest
Pretty sure this is their only statement regarding exclusive items and they even stated here:
Since then, we have reworked our storage system and item tracking and made sure that if a similar issue occurs, we should be able to easily restore items.
Which kinda implies they never planned to completely go away from exclusive cosmetics..
the rift cosmetics were announced to not be exclusive right before the first rift released, those were never planned to be fully exclusive cosmetics.
i think this is one of those moments where the community just blames the devs when they never even stated such thing. Not to say they never ‚lied‘ or didn’t hold a promise - that has happened often. But as far as I know, not in this case..
-
Pretty sure they stated they made those cosmetics free for everyone was bc many people actually lost access and they couldn’t retrack who legitimately lost them and who just lied and wanted the cosmetics. They have since improved their system to be able to track stuff. Another reason was that specific code-cosmetics like golden Feng recolor was sold for abhorrent prices.
they never stated directly they were done with exclusive cosmetics, or have they? If so i would love to see the source!

The least they could do is buff her into a viable state before dropping a tome for her, she's still very much D tier and anything but good.
*in high skill matches and not casual ones, and even there her problem is mostly that M1 killers are not as viable
you are looking at it from a very narrow perspective. And they did make significant and healthy changes for her already (I agree it’s not really enough but people just disregard any cases outside their own experience even though those others make up the majority of the playerbase)

I'm surprised they have the audacity to dedicate the next tome to the colossal failure which was the Skull Merchant. The tome skin doesn't even look that good, at least her store skin (the one with cat ears) looks decent but I have no intention of spending auric cells. Looks like I'll have to wait a year until it actually gets sold for shards.
I see very little reason to play the game if these are the tome rewards. Now slap the upcoming killer nerfs on top of that and you're guaranteed to have a miserable time as a killer, especially as the severely underpowered mess which is the Skull Merchant.

it was very likely already planned, conceptualized and far into development before Skull Merchants chapter even got released? Like… are you actually surprised about this?

They said it’s not maintainable to have different huds, as they would need to adjust the old one with new features (eg activity icons) as well.. so i would not count on it.

It will probably never change. The character was introduced before the in-game cosmetic store was even a thing. And the license holders seem to be not super cooperative with their characters. I guess we can just be happy that they approved Quentin’s model rework!

Was it only for one match or did it continue? Maybe you got matched on a different server than usual as it’s not set to one specific one if you are kinda kn between to locations.
also could still be your connection that just wasn’t as stable? Are you connected wirelessly to your router?

Yeah, I always wonder why people never bring stuff like this where the devs actually promised something and didn’t deliver up again…

"the way I unterstood it is that a killer you have zero experience with has an MMR based on your average/highest mmr from killers you have experience on."
That how it felt to me at least after my test. It feels like when you only play a handful killers and reach a high mmr, other killers mmr gets highered, but nevertheless you are still able to lower them after it. That's how it felt to me at least. Hard to prove because MMR is not shown but that's my experience.
To be fair, matchmaking favors shorter queue times over accurate mmr matching, and the way MMR is calculated isn’t really skill based at all and fundamentally flawed, so it’s pretty hard to say what is working how and all based on experience as we never see our nor our opponents scored anyway..

That's not entirely accurate. You still have an overall MMR that affects matchmaking. If you have a massive high MMR with Nurse, your MMR with Trapper will still be fairly high. Your highest MMR killer raises the floor. And with how low the soft cap is, you're probably going to be in the same bracket.

While its true every killer has their own MMR, it still changes on killers you barely play depending on the MMR of your other killers.
Are you sure?
the way I unterstood it is that a killer you have zero experience with has an MMR based on your average/highest mmr from killers you have experience on. But if you already have two killers with much experience (but different skill level) - those MMRs are completely unrelated from one another?

This year's contests are in the works now! I'm very excited to kick them off again.
As far as voting for the winner goes, however, that's not something we're able to do with these contests. There's a lot of technical discussions (what is and isn't possible in the game) before we can pick a winner, and it also needs to fit with the overall art direction of the game. While I'd love to get the community more involved with that process, there's far too much to consider for a popular vote to work.
On some level, I also shudder to think what the winner would be if that were the case.https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/comment/3398402#Comment_3398402
We do too. Sadly this comes down to each country's laws for contests. Most countries have very strict rules and requirements in order to legally run a contest, such as submitting forms, giving a deposit, and completely translating the contest rules & pages. When it comes to doing that for dozens of countries, it becomes very difficult, time consuming and costly, and ultimately we have deadlines we need to hit to make a contest like this possible.
We'll always try to include as many countries as possible. Our legal team is on top of things and keeping us updated whenever these laws change.
But wouldn’t it be possible that you make a preselection and the community can vote between the -say- 3 choices that you would already all approve?

Blocking a survivor with the intent to down them with a power with a charge up time is not reportable.
I even had one time where I blocked in a survivor and farmed Myers Tier 3 on them. Didn't feel bad about it.
It's only reportable if you block them in with no intent to hit/down/kill with egc. If you are blocking them just to stop them from playing the game with no intent to advance your objectives, then it's not OK.
but doesn’t Myers lose collision when he is stalking? 🤔

I agree that Pharmacy needs something. A full revert wouldn’t be good though, especially not with the medkit changes.
possibly a rummage token once it’s activated to guarantee you get a medkit along with a selfheal speedbonus on medkits?

Look at the reactions when killers use the example of "do a gen till 33%, then find another" or variants of those. Nobody is willing to put away the double standard, and in some cases dont even recognite theyre being hypocrites.
How is that a double standard?
a 33% done gen can regress to 0%. A survivor with a hook state will have the hook state for the rest of the match.
sorry, getting genrushed is frustrating on the killers side, but it’s not directly comparable to tunneling, this is an asymmetrical game..

It’s okay to use that to get a hit/down/use your power. It does feel scummy when you are the surv that’s affected, but the surv did make the wrong turn and ended up there.
blocking them for a long time is against game rules and is reportable. Otherwise it’s fine and kinda part of the game.

It’s been requested a lot and I guess it should be possible - though maybe the maps are not really suitable for this kind of chaos. Also their could be technical problems (eg Nemesis was only able to get 2 zombie ais, the game couldn’t handle more - so maybe more players is also problematic and having two Nemesis‘ would also be problematic if each got their own 2 zombies)
there could also be licensing problems, depending on what the negotiations included etc. And then Stranger Things might be a real barrier?

Das ist eine Interpretation von dir die eventuell gar nicht so gemeint ist vom Killer, haben die sich eventuell nur von Content Creatorn abgeschaut.
ich schätze, ähnlich wie ‚teabagging‘ (was ja im ursprünglichen Sinn auch aus einer sexuellen Handlung abgeleitet ist) wird dies nicht zu einem Bann führen. Es ist ja nicht wirklich eine sexuelle Handlung zu sehen im Spiel.
Und unter Umständen kann es auch unabsichtlich passieren dass ein Killer das aufheben Prompt nicht bekommt und vor und zurück geht um den Prompt hinbekommen. (Nicht, dass das wirklich häufig passiert, aber ausschließen kann man es eben auch nicht für den Einzelfall).
anders sieht es natürlich aus wenn im Endgame Chat direkt über so etwas geschrieben wird. Aber dann wird das über die In-game Report Funktion schon abgedeckt.

Oh THAT achievement. Hated that even though I only needed 20 on Steam. I used to play only on controller and I genuinely didn’t even try and just wanted to farm, it’s a nightmare to find survivors willing to help, even denying that last down at gates when it was obvious what you were going for -.- (though sure, no one should be forced to help farming so no blaming)
Now having played some games on M&K it actually feels like something I could eventually get on my own - though luckily I don’t have to anymore.

Hope for Alien and I think it’s a real possibility. The killer will obviously not come close to what a Xenomorph would actually be but let’s be honest.. that applies to any licensed and many original killers in this game.
Fnaf seems to be too controversial for an anniversary though I guess still possible..
Friday 13th seems to be not hinted at at all up to this point.
And Stranger Things chapter 2 with return of chapter one would be really hype and content heavy. Though idk if they would opt for an anniversary title after what went down with the first licensing - if we get a return at all..
