• Deipping has been finally removed!

  Beatricks in General Discussions March 28, 2024

  I know this update is stirring up the water quite a bit, but I really feel like this tiny little change was a huge QOL change for all of us that like our bloodpoints. I will no longer have to sweat just to get those pips which will result in a more fun experience. Rare big W for BHVR.

• ETA on the new map rework?

  Beatricks in General Discussions March 12, 2024

  BHVR keeps performing really well with designing maps that are very pleasant to look at (minus Borgo), but they seem to neglect balancing them for actual gameplay purposes. Any plans on overhauling the new map?

• 100 SoloQ Match Statistics, An SBMM Test

  Beatricks in General Discussions December 17, 2023

  Hello there everyone! After a recent exchange with Peanits where we briefly touched upon the issue of balanced games with the Skill Based Match Making and the statistics that are derived of the trials by the dev team ( https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/comment/3591596#Comment_3591596 ), I decided to do a little informal experiment and see how balanced my matches felt and w

• How would you define a balanced match?

  Beatricks in General Discussions December 7, 2023

  Hey everyone, looking for your input! I'm going to do some stat collecting for a 100 SoloQ games and besides the obvious stuff (killers, perks etc) I wanted to find some method to judge whether a particular trial was balanced or if it was a completely one-sided demolition. Obviously, the SBMM algorithm is only concerned with escapes and kills where a 2k would be the most balanced that you can po

• SBMM Adjustments Or Critical Playerbase Level?

  Beatricks in General Discussions April 19, 2023

  I was wondering if maybe someone on the dev team could let us know if there have been significant changes made to the SBMM system in the past couple of days/weeks. I understand that the specifics must be kept a secret to avoid people abusing the matchmaking, but with both streamers and forum users expressing the same distinct and noticeable changes to the quality of their matches that I have, I c

• So, did any streamers play without VPN after the gaslighting incident?

  Beatricks in General Discussions March 25, 2023

  Title. I don't watch content creators, but I would like to know if they are still getting DDoSed after BHVR investigated themselves and found themselves clear of all wrong doing. Or is the whole issue just going to get swept under the rug like always? Pretty good timing on that mid chapter plans release...

• Did the DDoSing Vulnerability Ever Got Patched?

  Beatricks in General Discussions January 23, 2023

  Back when the Artist PTB revealed a major vulnerability in the servers broadcasting all players IP addresses BHVR put out a little notice about it. That eventually got removed and nothing has been said about the issue ever since, not even by content creators who have talked to the people selling the "hacks" to this game. I've been using a VPN service ever since and it has been about 2 or 3 months

• Please revert this week's SBMM changes

  Beatricks in General Discussions January 22, 2023

  I want to preface this by saying that I appreciate that the dev team is constantly trying to make adjustments to the SBMM system so that playing the game is just a little less wretched of an experience. However, whatever tweaks were made this week have resulted in abysmal games and not just on one side, but both survivor and killer matches have gone to absolute hell, the skill discrepancy in lobb

• Hackers now target random players?

  Beatricks in General Discussions January 13, 2023

  I've just logged out of the game after three consecutive matches I went up against a Blight that used an Azarov's Key offering and then downed all survivors 5 seconds into the match, immediately sacrificing them by teleporting them to hooks. I'm not a streamer so it doesn't seem like it's done for that reason. Anyone had this experience? I usually go for quite a few matches without blatant hacker

• Friendly Reminder For Killer Mains :)

  Beatricks in General Discussions September 22, 2022

  I'm bringing to you your own words of wisdom. "Don't prejudge a change or a feature and proclaim it to be the apocalypse. Let it settle for a few months instead of wanting the devs to make kneejerk reactions and taksie-backsies. Learn, adapt and become better at the game." =)

• Bets on how long until they hide prestige?

  Beatricks in General Discussions August 12, 2022

  Since the devs didn't like people referring to grades after SBMM was introduced to complain about the poor matchmaking, I'm wondering how long it's going to take for them to hide prestige as well? People are dodging lobbies and bullying/making fun of low prestige players already, so I can't imagine that complaints about the matchmaking system's abysmal performance won't start drifting towards ref
