• Not played since 2022, What have I missed?

  AshleyWB in General Discussions June 12, 2026

  I stopped playing dbd several years ago and I finally returned this week and my first impressions on returning is a mix of overwhelm of a lot of new perks, killers, survivors to get to grips with and a sense of underwhelm at how it's still just repairing generators as an objective (from my understanding) I remember making some pretty entitled discussions when I was here years ago because I was

• Should characters which use stereotypes be removed from the game to cause less offense?

  AshleyWB in General Discussions January 5, 2022

  Example: David King is a survivor that is entirely based on harmful British and Mancunian stereotypes such as alcoholism, violent abuse, vulgar language, etc and it the perks also mock certain local phrases and must be renamed if behaviour surely do care about stamping hate out the game. I find it very hypocritical when we're told that certain hate is more acceptable than other instances of hate

• Create your own event Charms before the Devs end up making them themselves.

  Chinese New year is coming up, as is valentine's Day oh and St Patrick's Day (I think) There's a lot of events, celebrations and occasion's coming soon so I think it would be a good idea for the playerbase to come up with some suggestions, designs or just a general premise of what charms could be added to the game. The suggestions made by people may very well be used as inspiration for future

• New Chapter Idea - 10 free map offerings of that particular chapter with each n killer and survivor

  AshleyWB in General Discussions June 16, 2020

  I've been playing dbd for about 5 hours and I haven't seen the Silent Hill map once. I have only had the Saloon map about 5 times since it's released out of about 200 matches I've played. I think if each new chapter gave that particular survivor and killer 10 free map offerings then it would enable more people to experience the new maps more consistently on release. 3 out of my first 5 matches

• Do you think Game companies should keep out of real life events?

  AshleyWB in Polls June 16, 2020

  I've seen a lot of polls and surveys showing that the public really don't like it when companies take a stance on real life issues. I used to think "yeah sure they can if they want" but now I'm in the position where it just seems unnecessary and likely divisive towards people who have a valid reason for disagreeing even the slightest amount. But what do you think?

  Silent Hill EGC sirens playing through the whole EGC at MidWich Upbeat Stranger Things music playing on Hawkins End game collapse would be the perfect place to add in a little nod to each chapter. Having a jam which really brings those vibes would be sick (good sick) instead of the default EGC music.

• Let Survivors Dead Hard into breakable walls to destroy them

  AshleyWB in General Discussions March 1, 2020

  I don't know if it'll have much use but if you are in a chase and you accidentally run into an unbroken piece of wall, if you could dead hard to destroy the wall it would make gameplay a little more dynamic and give a niche little counter to running into a wall like an idiot. It could help if for whatever reason the killer wants to keep a specific wall up.

• New Survivor and Killer 'Skills and Techniques'

  I dislike how some perks are only used for the secondary bonuses like the Bloodpoint bonus with BBQ and WGLF.

  An interesting counter to rancor introduced with the perk 'For the people' is the denial of Rancor by using your for the people on someone else while the obsession is in chase.

• The next map rework must be The Game map surely

  AshleyWB in General Discussions February 18, 2020

  Reason why: The game map as far as I know contains extremely few potentially breakable walls. Very few vaults for survivors and is generally disliked by both roles. I don't see how a new killer mechanic of being able to break through walls would exist with the current Game map having most of its walls metal doors opening when a nearby gen is complete.

  Just played my first match as Survivor. The ping was jumping up and down between 170 - 215ms.
