Didn’t play Bone Chill this year. Didn’t like the Snowcreature design, tbh. Still enjoyed the lights, trees, snowskulls, and overall wintery decor, but nothing was enough to get me hopping back on after a 5 month chillification from DBD.
fwiw, sometimes I don’t feel like playing Killer, and the fact that all the Daily’s, day after day, are consistently Killer ritual after Killer ritual, sometimes even up to 15x’s consecutively, is mildly disconcerting.
I agree, ppl shouldn’t be forced to play a specific role, character, etc. (to attain a reward, or any reasoning) if they’re not into it or if they simply can’t for whatever reason.

Give Nea back her spray paint so we can freely tag the realms🥳

Love the Devs in on this chat☺️
Always curious over the random convos they share between each other on any given work day, wether they have mini DBD debates and such.
Sure they are cautious of what to engage in publicly, but it’s nice to know Devs opinions, thoughts, ideas especially regarding DBD topics.

I will always go w JV til he’s in the game🥹
He’s my fav slasher to my fav slasher franchise🥳
He’s someone to be thought outside the box on and there is profound potential to make him the game’s best, most original licensed Killer.
fwiw, been hoping for Candyman for a while, great potential to do sth really special w him, too

fr, never even thought about Evil Ash for this game… love the notion! After what great vocal lines we’ve gotten from several of the characters on both sides, it’d be fantastic to somehow get him as his own Paragraph w BC delivering his comedic one liner genius.

Realms are one of my most fav parts of DBD.
I don’t care which side is considered favored in a realm, or whichever role I happen to be playing at the time; When I feel like enjoying a certain vibe that any particular realm I wanna enjoy offers, I’m going to use that offering.
Atmosphere is everything for me, especially while gaming. I love immersing myself in the surroundings and DBD does well at providing that pleasing aesthetic to be enveloped within. It’s the enhancement to my fun levels, and where I prefer to be, casually speaking, as opposed to concerning myself with feeling the need to ever sweat or go overboard for a W.

Yes, poll would be ideal
from what’s been revealed on FNaF, DD would be the better, less controversial Chapter. I’ve never played FNaF, just watched different no commentary gameplay on YT, but thoroughly enjoyed playing DD!

BHVR Devs owe the new players a live tutorial recorded and stored in the game, played by their top-most elite skilled personnel, and showcasing precisely how to most efficiently and optimally play DBD on both sides.
Multiple strat vids from Devs, made available to all players in game is essential for new players to succeed w/o quitting early on, as well as beneficial to all players, to see exactly from the creator’s expertise how best to handle every scenario encounterable in the game.
That they haven’t done this yet, and instead gave everyone a generic ‘tutorial’ on the absolute basics is pathetic and shows much about what we’ve all come to know over the past 7+ years.

What bothers most players, not even just many, most players, in DBD, just doesn’t bother me.
I think the legitimate reasoning to that fact is how people are playing Dead by Daylight like it’s the only game that exists. I seriously believe that even if players wanted to stop playing DBD, they wouldn’t easily be able to immediately give it up without some form of intervention. I think many people are addicted to this game and are either in denial, or are outright oblivious to the reality that ceasing to play would cause them mental strife.
I’ve overcome the mania of Dead by Daylight.
For playing more casually lately, I don’t get disturbed by trivialities others bemoan everyday, like this game is the only thing in their life.
I just don’t live for drama and the dysfunctional.
The lows of DBD greatly outweigh any highs experienced while playing, and they are occurring far more frequently.
Regardless, I agree, FtP and BU are unfortunately merely more casualties to deflect blame onto and eventually get nerfed, while the real underlying issues remain problematic and ignored.

Sweet SM drawing!
Finally, a cozy SM that actually makes ppl NOT wanna break a wall😌

Parties usually imply some form of merriment amongst the gathering. Unfortunately for many, the most enjoyable party vibing in regard to DBD has most likely been limited to (or may be best experienced within) the close knit camaraderie of KYF.

Im full of unique (and probably stupid) ideas, just realistically these ideas will go nowhere since BHVR has a lot of limitations regarding what they can and cant produce in a time frame... BHVR is a company, time, and by proxy money, is fairly limited.
Oh, I get that, and they can do much more than they’ve led ppl to believe otherwise; they just haven’t done more, or won’t do more, unfortunately… but in many cases, they can.
Would be nice if BHVR would listen more to these ideas, such as yours, regarding new material (or upgrades) and give creative minds of players who faithfully play their game more focus, than merely listening for the nerf/buff cries to the extent that their ‘due diligence’ quotas have been fulfilled.
They open the partnership board for cosmetic design and such… be cool to see them give their players some in-depth creative control to a Killer every once n a while.

Honestly I wish his power was reworked to fit more into "tricking" Survivors.
Like imagine if he could throw a knife, but it's also a smoke bomb or something, would lead to massive mindgaming potential. You could even have thermal vision to see through the smoke but it makes other stuff harder to see. They can maybe even tie the smoke bombs to his original band members and the awful fate they had.
What else could they do? Holograms, blinding lights and lasers, stuff performance themed, stuff fire/smoked themed, advance technology, etc. And what do we have? Knives.
Idk, the potential is there, it just feels like they didnt use the opportunity.
Y’kno, it needs tweaking, nevertheless, props for having some thought processing a bit further outside safer realms than BHVR’s braved a venture, lately.
Ji-Woon’s somewhat of a psychopath, but hasn’t quite lived up to the name Devs have bestowed upon him.

Thank you for the kind words. I love the horror genre so much (despite the existential terror it can bring).

"Players know and understand this truth (especially Killer Mains) and opt into a stance of hard denial (especially on the forums and in polls) so the Developers will continue to hold Killer player’s hands and serve up the most simplistic 4K possible"
I was involved in a discussion on this on Twitch, about how frequent killer complaints are these days despite the role being easier to play than ever before. And the conclusion reached was that the devs allowed the gen kick meta to go on for too long. It's why so many complaints about gen regression perks still dominate too. The success of that time is cemented in so many minds that it's become the standard for what *should* be happening, as opposed to an unfortunate circumstance of perfect synergy between a select few reworked perks.
So I don't know whether it's true that these players "know" these truths, as opposed to them having expectations that will honestly never be met.
Woah, your responses are so really wonderfully worded😅
Retrospectively, yes absolutely do agree that we’ve all had some form of unfulfilled expectations; I’ve unfortunately, and much too frustratedly, been, overall, pretty harsh regarding these issues, for sure, especially toward players, which is unfair.

idk, but now I’ve thought waay too much about this to actually having freaked myself out a bit thinking we’d ever irl have to🫣

I don't think the game is particularly hard for Killers.
Frustrating? Sure, but not difficult.
“I don't think the game is particularly hard for Killers.”
It’s not. At all.
I also play the role, as well as frequently watching sets of matches from various levels of players to see the ratio of 4K matches, all the while personally vibing with honest players irl who concur and understand this truth.
DBD has become increasingly easier for Killer players; dramatically easy-mode over the last 2 years.
Players know and understand this truth (especially Killer Mains) and opt into a stance of hard denial (especially on the forums and in polls) so the Developers will continue to hold Killer player’s hands and serve up the most simplistic 4K possible.
Buffs to sweeten the experience for new Killer players have only handed over the entire candy factory to those who’ve invested multi-K hours and effortlessly dominate the role.
Developers have opted to raise up SWF like it was Simba in the Lion King, while disowning the unloved SoloQ child altogether; It’ll be a hud here and a hud there, moving forward, but true balancing efforts have lost their significance.
I do believe Devs will address Tunneling by way of a restructuring of ‘ground rules’ for necessity ‘strat Tunneling,’ and punishingly regulating the toxic variety of Tunnelers. Though, at the slog rate to which needed changes are brought about (or never are) in this game, unfortunately, anyone holding their breath is already long time dead.

Winning: Never Tunneling
Losing: Being a Tunneler (also, feeling justified as one)

Yes, also, If you’ve ever heard the sound of Zarina’s Penguin slippers or Elodie’s Reindeer slippers that they wear w their onesie pjs, the softer sfx of their feet was noticeably distinguishable from the usual clip-clopping of actual sneaker/shoes cosmetics, especially on indoor maps like Gideon.

It is not bad at all.
The main point of criticism in past years were the Snowmen, but since Killers and Survivors can throw Snowskulls at them, they can easily break them with that.
Sweeeeeeet Christmassy Goodness!🎄
Stoked for it!

Agree with all of this, with the exception of Trickster where I mildly disagree (felt they were substantial changes, unnecessary for most but worthwhile all). Surprisingly agree with Otz’ take, as well.
BHVR cares (mostly about what it is we’ve come to realize they care about), nevertheless, their priorities have skewed so far that the direction they’re heading is benefiting themselves, solely and financially.
ie. They’ll just sit happily and grin, the money will continually roll right in, as the playerbase credits them for attempting change (that you so perfectly described as glacial) and continues to contently voice their concerns on the forums in confidence that they’re being heard and accounted for (which, from the responses on the Reddit Q&A we now know just how far out of touch BHVR seems).
The Developers of DBD have been far too lackadaisical to be taken completely seriously and their self serving interests supersede the quality of product we’ve been funding them to misproduce.
-
Was wondering when this started. Haven’t seen anyone mention anything on it.
Played a handfull of matches since early August and was anticipating hopping back on for some wintery Bone Chilling DBD.
Can’t be toooo bad tho, right?

idk, remember trying to cleanse that totem over there on the left side n inadvertently vaulting the wall, a few times tho😩
-
Devs were so short answered on this.
They didn’t elaborate on anything they may be looking into to for helping SoloQ, or that they even are discussing issues amongst themselves, as included in their other responses.
Feels like the BHVR consensus is that SoloQ’s fine after hud changes and we won’t be seeing any real additional help anytime soon😔

Of course it’s gonna be bad from killer mains. But if BHVR decided it was too strong in endgame, how is it not too strong still?
BHVR cannot seem to do anything entirely on their own, and instead allow their playerbase to have strongest influence and, in most cases, basically decide what happens in their own game… which has created a tug of war where DBD is the rope, and each side is continuously pulling each other over the edge into the nerf abyss for a period of time.

Never saw it as Killer. Back then I was playing mostly Survivor. Just remember Nea’s butt was all I could see on the screen and it was impossible to do anything. Was hilarious watching streamers reactions experiencing it for the first time😄

Scratch marks in general never really worked correctly. Predator won't solve tiles where scratchmarks don't show at all for example.
Yeah, fr tho
Was kinda part of the mild sarcasm regarding the “Hey, just use *insert perk to counter *insert discrepancy” suggestions from ppl on here… It’s usually sth they try n push that isn’t entirely a solution to the issue.
Hence, why Pred could possibly use a li’l buff of its own
-
Are we allowed to do what SO many others do on the forums and suggest you waste a slot bringing a perk to remedy the situation🤔😏
‘cause… Predator js
Anyway, It could be Devs shadow testing sth tho, fwiw
Occasionally, I’ll bring Fixated to test for what scattered trails I’ve experienced in Killer matches.

I’ve never played as Chucky, but from what I’ve watched of his gameplay via live streamer content, what you’re saying is valid, and I agree.
People complain about Object being easy mode for Survivors at walls, but Chucky basically gets free OoO when he uses his power. Seeing Survivors that clearly behind obstructions and exactly where they go to an unjukable outcome just screams “please, let-us-hold-your-hand-to-get-this-hit!” easy mode.
Again, haven’t played as him, just what I’ve observed. Haven’t seen anyone struggling to efficiently 3K.
-
There were sooo many hilarious glitches from back in the earlier DBD years.
One made all the Survivors gigantic and they took up the entire screen😄
Another fav was Survivors getting unhooked and then floating around appearing as tho still hooked.
There was a really cool audio bug on GF where revealing him was an endless crescendo of that SFX but after 20 sec or so the server would disconnect. That one was actually kinda freaky.
Always was silly seeing Survivors and Killers randomly stuck on the edge of mounds in Auto Wreckers, just standing there spinning in circles.
DBD has come a very long way since the days of not only constant bugs, but really over the top glitches. Devs have done extremely well on that front.

Pretty sure I have seen a Twitter thread for it as well and i guess whatever social network they are on is the same?
the community that actually wants to socially engage with the devs will probably be on any of these platforms anyways.. how would you try to reach the whole community otherwise? Keep in mind in-game news get often ignored anyways.
Best Never to limit space for consensus
66 posts to a discussion in 2 days, including non-insightful replies to posts, doesn’t achieve optimal results; even after a week or 2 when numbers increase, it’s still just majority of back-n-forth’ing.
Twitter as an additional option is good (though it’s often a plethora of off topic spam or troll posting about “add this skin” “nerf this” “nerf that”) as is the in-game News flash headlining topic forcibly visible before the menu, also a good feature.
Regardless, always Post everything, everywhere and as close to all at once as possible, making certain everyone socially engageable or not, has the opportunity to respond should they so choose
…and run it as a quick ‘choose A B C D E’ poll similar to those included in the Official DBD Surveys that w the option to type additional response.

Supermassive is hit or miss with many, and I have played all they’ve offered
Until Dawn, Rush of Blood, House of Ashes, The Quarry and Switchback are all fantastic completely worthwhile games they’ve delivered, imo
Their titles are usually filled with unnecessary overly wordy dialogue and ‘choose your path’ options arriving at the same storyline outcome, save for a few small details that may lead to a trophy if chosen correctly.
The partnering of BHVR and SM is great, and this first endeavor of theirs looks promising.

He’s one of the Killers I wasn’t interested in purchasing, but I have learned from experience (especially in SoloQ, where you don’t know who your strong players are, if any) to get the box first and loop him for a few gens; then you should be good to go. Like with any Killer, just have to keep him distanced, juke the chains when he gets close, mindgame pallets ~ using them when necessary, and then create more distance, repeat.
w/o his his box n chain hunt, he’s just a creative cosplayer
