I am personally really eager to see such things in perks becasue basically mostly we have the same aura reading mechanic in diffrent flavors, additioanl boost to healings, doing gens etc. Perks like bombs on pallets and windows are minority. We didnt have anything new for many years and incantations and boons well they also boost healing or reduce gen repair time etc so even if its diffrent form it still ends up as something that we already had. I really liked behaviour recent killer powers but the perks are really stale after so many years.

I have miserable appliance experience with perks, being mostly a new player. Since new players doesn't play this game for 10 years and not having 1k+ hours.

I just want to have variety by default. We should have choices not only general buffs/nerfs, levels of perks and the perks themselves.

If we have situational and interesting conditions in base game - we own game. If not - we spend time (or money) to buy such.

DbD easily has the worst upscaling implementation of any game I’ve played.
XeSS makes everything look horribly muddy with minimal performance gains and FSR makes no difference in terms of performance or visuals. I’m guessing the versions we have in DbD are very early models. They should definitely look into updating them.

How do you see the difference? I read that XeSS better than FSR or default anti-aliasing. I play with ultra graphics settings

sorry mate every killer needs nerfing and aura reading perks shouldn’t be a thing, we need more pallets on the map and every killer needs to have fatigue when they hold out there ability for too long, its supposed to be a skill based game not a ####### pay to win.

New Killer Status Effect: Cleave.
Cleave is a stack based status effect for killers.
When performing a basic attack (M1) the killer damages not only the targeted survivor but also any other survivors within a 6 meter radius of that survivor.
-Cleave does not expire over time
-There is no limit to the number of stacks you can hold.
-One stack is consumed only when you injure a survivor who has at least one other survivor within the 6 meter radius causing that nearby survivor or survivors to also be injured.
-If no other survivor is within the radius a stack is not consumed.
-there should be a visual indicator that informs survivors that the killer has Cleave.
Example in Perk: Tyrant’s Whip
After being stunned or blinded gain 1 token.
After gaining a token this perk goes on a 30/25/20 second cooldown.
After accumulating 2 tokens gain 1 Cleave stack.

I like it. But I don't like this being a perk. This would help against squatters who tryna save their teammate being in 1 meter near hook.

How come survivors can disconnect without penalty when they are about to die but for killers they have to walk all the way to the gate and chase camping survivors to get them to actually leave and finish the game? This isnt an occasional thing if survivors escape through the gate there is usually atleast 1 person who stands right beside the exit just waiting to waste my time and I get punished for leaving the game so I can get onto my next game faster?

As killer I want to escape with survivors if they all near gates.

>give each survivor a dedicated colour from red, yellow, blue and green. (hopefully you can change the colours in the colourblind accessability option)

This is actually good and simple proposition.

It is too much and oversimplifying teamwork for random players. I want only see my teammate's perks in lobby before match. BHVR probably doesn't want it and afraid of people leaving lobbies because of self-esteem. Since randoms would understand what's gonna be.

in How're you liking the Torchbearer class? We want to know! Comment by Temak February 12, 2026

It is better for swf mark themselves as voice chat party or whatever. If they don't mark - killer could report them about their use of voice comms. Then voice comms are "legal" cheating in dbd. If the same players playing together and get reports about voice comms the game itself should mark that they use/abuse voice comms for killers as notice. And random survivors should get info about other players in lobby before match starts, except killer.

I do, but they've been a lot more active in trying to bugfix since the new website went live. People just need to report it with clips/ways to repeat it. I'm sure people likely have already.

This game isn't open source dude. Like I don't care about direct reports to BHVR. Especially keeping in mind their possibilities. As was mentioned somewhere in patch notes that nurse is "fixed"; we acknowledged that she's broken and buggy/laggy. So I don't see any reason to prolong such conversation except being positivist.

Dead Hard is still the best exhaustion perk with at least 60% of survivors running it in high MMR (based on my match history). I don't think Dead Hard needs a nerf, but I think there should be more perk options to counter it. The current anti-exhaustion perk options aren't good enough. Languid Touch is the best counter currently, but it's pretty much complete RNG with crows. We need a perk that specifically counters Dead Hard. I don't care if it's useless against every other exhaustion perk. In fact, it should be to balance it. Considering we already have Lightborne that hard counters Flashlights, a similar perk seems reasonable.
As a counter to Dead Hard, I've just been hard slugging survivors with Twins so they never get the perk. This seems to be the best counter currently. I hope BHVR adds more counters so I don't have to keep doing this.

Wow there is no guarantee for DH user to prolong chase significantly, especially for solo queue survs. I'd like to see collision changes which make survivor bodies feel not like "walls" or "blocks" but real bodies which killer can "nudge in the side". Such collision like in other multiplayer games with your teammates. Like in CS:GO as I remember. And for DbD chose mid between complete "body block" and "body obstacle".

I've started quitting games out of boredom becase all I'm doing is looping and getting stunned/tbagged and it's just not fun. It's deeply tedious. The game community need a balanced DBD-clone because the audience is there and the dev's just aren't listening at all.

There is DbD legacy launcher you could find it in discord I guess.

in Pallet bashing simulator Comment by Temak February 9, 2026

This issue is about game design and dev's perspective/naiveness about how players should play and how they actually play (in discord e.g).

I really want to see what my teammates equip (their perks, items and add-ons).

Almost no one prefers to play as a team in dbd. SO with such "teammates" I wanna annoy my "team" and killer (if killer abuse sutuation) and get out as soon as possible to the next solo queue.

Yes I know examples such as Michael Myers with Devour Hope and mirror add-on in Hawkins is too much out of a sudden to survivors and frustrating. But it works really well against flies which populate solo queue DbD.

in Concerns About No-Terror-Radius Killers & Match Balance Comment by Temak February 9, 2026

In such situations I'd like kill both survivors with memento mori. Because trying to exhaust yourself or killer is a bad for game which is for fun primarily.

I guess these propositions make game more balanced. But currently nurse is broken literally. She's buggy rn and survivors abuse it. Anyway I won't like to play again as such nurse. So keep it hold.

in Changes and buffs to the Wraith Comment by Temak February 9, 2026

@Senaxu said:
Hi everyone,
I’m writing this as someone who’s played since 2018 and has roughly 5k hours in DBD. I play both sides fairly evenly (Killer and Survivor), which is why I’m trying to keep this feedback practical and balanced. The goal isn’t to “buff my side”… it’s to reduce the biggest friction points that make matches feel worse for everyone, and to make the game more consistent, fair, and fun.
Below are the changes I believe would have the highest impact:
1) Match integrity: meaningful anti-cheat steps (starting with the basics)
Cheating… especially subtle cheating… currently feels too low-risk and too hard to address. When cheating slips through, balance discussions become pointless because the match outcome wasn’t “real” in the first place.
What I’d like to see:
Server-side sanity checks for impossible states as a first step (teleports, extreme speed/action values, impossible generator progress spikes, etc.). This alone would reduce a lot of blatant cases.
A stronger path for subtle cheats (short speed bursts, quick wallhack toggles, etc.) that don’t require players to provide perfect video evidence every time.
A lightweight replay / match review system (even if limited) would help with reporting, verification, and trust.
This should be the top priority because it improves every single other system by making matches reliable again.
2) Solo Queue vs SWF: close the information gap without forcing voice chat
The gap between SoloQ and coordinated SWF is still huge, mostly because SWF gets constant information “for free” via comms. If SoloQ had better baseline info tools, BHVR could balance around a more consistent survivor experience.
Proposal A: Basekit “Kindred-like” team awareness
Not necessarily full detailed auras, but some reliable way for survivors to understand team positioning and intent:
A rough aura / glow / outline of teammates (or a simplified indicator) to show approximate location.
It doesn’t need to be perfect… it just needs to reduce the “nobody knows what anyone is doing” problem.
Proposal B: A small communication wheel (ping system)
A limited set of clear, non-toxic, non-spammy messages that cover the most important coordination points, for example:
“I’m going for the unhook”
“Killer near me / I’m in chase (stealth killer)”
“Going for a gen”
“Hex/Totem here”
“Reset/heal”
Keep it simple, with a cooldown and a small, clean HUD indicator.
Why not voice chat?
Voice chat with randoms creates language barriers, conflict, and pressure. Many players want to play Solo while still having basic information. A wheel/ping system solves that without the downsides.
Important follow-up: balance should move with the new baseline
If SoloQ gets brought closer to SWF in terms of information, BHVR should also be willing to re-balance around that new baseline. That includes revisiting perks/add-ons whose main value comes from “SoloQ blindness” (for example, info-denial effects like Hex: The Third Seal, which applies Blindness and suppresses aura reading). Otherwise, we risk “fixing” SoloQ on paper, only to reintroduce the same gap through mechanics that SWF can often compensate for via comms. Once the information baseline is healthier, killer tuning and perk balance can be adjusted more fairly and more consistently.
3) Matchmaking/MMR: reduce extreme mismatches and reward actual contribution
MMR currently feels inconsistent in practice: you still see wildly mixed experience levels in the same match. Newer killers(<200h) getting highly coordinated teams(3k hours each), or experienced killers getting brand-new survivors, creates matches that teach nothing and feel awful.
Also, an “escape = good / die = bad” model (if that’s still the primary driver) doesn’t reflect reality:
A survivor who holds a strong chase for minutes and dies can be the reason the team wins.
A survivor who hides all match and escapes can gain rating despite contributing little.
Suggestion: add a contribution component (Activity/Impact score)
Outcome should still matter, but MMR should also reflect meaningful actions, like:
Chase impact (time in chase, how efficiently the killer is occupied)
Generator progress and teamwork contributions
Unhooks, heals, protection plays, clutch saves
Objective plays (clearing key totems, creating pressure at the right time)
The goal is not to “gamify” everything… it’s to prevent the system from rewarding passive play while punishing the players who actually did the heavy lifting.
4) Game pacing: generator speed stacking needs a hard look
Generator repair speed stacking can create matches that end absurdly fast when multiple bonuses line up. In an asymmetrical game where the first chase already heavily influences tempo, extreme gen speed can leave killers with no realistic counterplay.
Suggestion: introduce diminishing returns / a hard cap on repair speed stacking
Perks and other bonuses shouldn’t multiply into “gens fly instantly” territory.
A cap (or diminishing returns after a threshold) keeps pacing stable without deleting repair perks from the game.
This is about match health: longer doesn’t always mean better, but too fast makes matches feel meaningless.
5) Pre-lobby & endgame visibility: stop lobby shopping, keep accountability
Right now, killers can often “shop” lobbies based on visible profiles/hours, which leads to:
Dodging anything that looks difficult
Targeting the obvious weak link from the start (“this player has 50 hours… my tunnel out”)
Proposal: hide identifying profile info in the pre-lobby
Keep visible: survivor portraits, items, platform icon (basic transparency)
Hide: player names, profile links/hours/obvious “experience” signals until the match ends
After the match: show names normally Endgame should show full names so players can report properly and matches aren’t effectively anonymous. Players can still use platform privacy settings if they want their profile hidden… but the in-game identity should be clear at endscreen.
This reduces unfair pre-game advantages and lowers the incentive to lobby dodge or pre-select targets.
6) Consistency: anti-tunnel tools should function against top chase killers
Example: Decisive Strike is meant to be an anti-tunnel tool. But against certain S-tier chase powers (e.g., very high mobility/instant gap-closing), DS often doesn’t buy enough distance to matter.
Suggestion: short power lockout after DS (and potentially similar stuns), palett breaks
If DS triggers, consider briefly disabling the killer’s chase power activation for a short moment so the survivor actually gains a chance to reset position. Some killer powers already interact with short lockouts in other contexts; applying a consistent logic here would help DS do its job across the roster.
If certain temporary modes should be exceptions, that can be tuned… but the core idea is: DS shouldn’t become “basically useless” depending on the killer.
7) Anti-tunnel incentives: reward hook spreading instead of hard tunneling
Tunneling is still one of the most effective low-risk, high-reward strategies: turn a 4v1 into a 3v1 as early as possible. Even if anti-tunnel perks exist, the meta pressure pushes survivors into running them constantly, reducing build variety.
Instead of only adding more punishment systems, I’d love to see killers incentivized to play in a healthier way.
Idea: reward hook spread (with strong anti-abuse rules)
Examples of reward directions:
A small, controlled regression/slowdown reward for hooking different survivors before re-hooking the same person
A short, time-limited pressure bonus for “fair rotation” (designed so it can’t be exploited via intentional slugging cycles)
Anything that makes “playing for 12 hooks / good pressure” feel like a competitive option rather than self-handicapping
The exact implementation needs careful anti-abuse measures, but the goal is clear: make healthier killer playstyles more rewarding, and reduce how often matches revolve around “tunnel one person out ASAP.”
Closing
These are the main areas I’d love to see addressed:
Anti-cheat & integrity
Solo Queue info parity
MMR/match quality
Pre-lobby fairness + endgame accountability
Generator speed stacking / pacing
Consistency for anti-tunnel tools vs top-tier chase powers
Incentivizing hook spread to reduce tunneling
I’d genuinely like to hear other perspectives (especially from people who play both sides). If you disagree with any point, I’m open to alternatives… but I’d love to keep the discussion focused on what makes matches healthier and more fun for everyone.
Thanks for reading.

The problem with tunneling as a strategy that it is applicable for both sides, I mean your goal to tunnel survivors and survivors need to counter killer's tunnel to live as much as possible. So there can be "toxic" killer or survivor, it is much about personality aligning with game's system which even encourages to play so. Older versions were more asymmetric than nowadays.

Older versions seem like much more fun even if you die. Those survivors who wanted to have the same kind of ability to tunnel should've played killer. Nowadays you can achieve the same level and counter many random killers. So I think new DbD is more close to pay-to-win shooter games in their nature than to asymmetric games. The main reason why it is a trash game. We don't need balance with killer because it means that we want to be as killer, it means we become absolute opposite of killer, not just the survivors as it meant to be.

There was some DbD like shooter game from BHVR. Should they cancel shooter-like system in their own first of all game without competition, huh?
