New Otz video, new thing that everyone is talking about. So, he played 60 games without hooking the same survivor twice and won 80% of them. Not terribly surprising for someone with 10k+ hours in the game, so not terribly informative. But what about us non-cyborgs? We the plebeians, and bog average? I think we should come together as a community and try doing a no camping/no tunneling experimen6 comments 181 views last activity

Title. I find it genuinely astounding that the playerbase at large fails to understand that camping is generally a very bad strategy. It relies entirely on survivors not doing gens, and instead clustering around the hook and committing mass suicide via killer. I only camp when I recognize that the survivors I am playing against are simply so terrible that camping is a guaranteed victory, or when40 comments 2,011 views last activity

DbD and BHVR get a lot of hate in general, but the devs do a lot of good things. What good things are you happy about for the game? Anything from changes recently to changes from five years ago. For me: Mori rework (can't instantly kill survivors on first down anymore) Dead Hard nerf Nurse lost her range and recharge add-ons Iron Will nerf (this perk single-handedly made the game unbearable26 comments 401 views last activity

The concept of a perk that lets you parry or dodge a hit in a game where you are fighting tooth and nail to get something as small as two meters closer to your target... is a little too strong. There's really no way for a perk with that kind of design to ever be fair or fun to play against. I have three potential ideas for it, which can keep DH as a strong perk but not an over-bearing one. 134 comments 911 views last activity

I really don't think anyone was looking forward to yet another M1 killer with zero chase potential. All this killer can realistically do is lock down a three gen for thirty minutes and struggle to get downs on survivors until the game has stalled out for so long that there are no more pallets anywhere on the map. I've only seen her once despite playing all day since she came out, and I hope to15 comments 731 views last activity

We see a lot of the same threads on this forum over and over again. "Nerf perk that I don't like", "Nerf killer that is already bad", "Post pictures of animals", "Doomsday predictions if XYZ hits live servers", "I just played a match where...", "Why don't we see XYZ killer/survivor anymore?", "Tunneling and/or Camping", "Disconnecting/Giving up" What are your favorite archetypes?

...and entered the era of "weak in the 1v1 but is good at controlling gens" era of killers. The "oppressive in the 1v1" era started with Clown, and ended at Nemesis. Only exception here would be Plague, who is a bit of an oddball. (btw, release Legion counts as oppressive 1v1) The "3 gen" era started with Pinhead and has continued into Skull Merchant, although Wesker is an exception. Anyone e3 comments 251 views last activity

Is it just me, or do the devs only care about objects with finite and determinable sides? Every patch, it's shapes with clear delineation of left and right, while shapes without an easily determined left and right are COMPLETELY ignored. It's blatant favoritism, and I think we all know it. Where are the spheres and non-Euclidian geometric shapes? It's complete BS, but the devs are too busy cater21 comments 451 views last activity

We've all thought about it one point, which killer would you vote for if you were playing Among Us? Micheal Myers is pretty high up there, he hasn't said anything this entire time! I saw Pig and Ghostface faking tasks, they were crouched next the generator and there were no sparks! Doctor, Deathslinger, and Clown won't stop laughing. Let's not forget that Demogorgon vented.

Original idea from @Reinami I disagree, there are plenty of solutions that can actually make tunneling impossible. They just need to do it. Tunneling is effective because it removes someone from the game, so make that simply impossible. What if survivors 1st hook state was shared as a team, so even if you tunnel the same survivor, you have to hook them 4 times (to get through the teams11 comments 161 views last activity

It's no secret that Dead by Daylight always has plenty of new and returning bugs and exploits every update. Some of us enjoy the bugs since they generally very funny, but many of us just want to play the game without having a match ruined by something completely unrelated to players themselves. It would be really nice to have multiple patches focused 100% on fixing major bugs and exploits, and c1 comments 71 views last activity

Title. It would be fun to say "glhf" to the survivors before a match, or say "I'm bringing BPS." If a survivor says "Can you let me go? I'm doing the Self-Care tome." I can say "sure, no problem." The only thing it would take away is the 0.0001% of survivors that post their perk loadout in the pre-game chat (literally haven't seen someone do that in years).

Normally my ping in this game is between 60ms and 120ms. In the past month or so, I've been getting huge lag spikes all the way into 1000ms. Sometimes for the majority of the match I will have ping over 1,000, imstead of just getting spikes. I also keep getting migrated to servers that are oceans away from me for no discernable reason.

Problem: Some killers (namely, a certain Texan with a chainsaw) are far too effective at camping survivors to death 100 to 0 for the two full minutes the survivor in on the hook. Due to increased gen times and perks like Deadlock and No Way Out, this strategy is very effective at getting multiple kills despite requiring very little effort. Solution: The duration of each hook stage is double1 comments 41 views last activity

Sometimes there's an adorable bunny Feng that you just can't bring yourself to kill, or maybe that default Dwight is giving you those puppy dog eyes. Maybe you had a bit of a bonding moment with that Jake and you both spent some time nodding at each other, and now he's the last one left. Are there ever moments where you let some or all of the survivors go?18 comments 341 views last activity

Title. Deathslinger's pseudo-stealth when using Monitor & Abuse gave him a unique niche as a ranged ambush killer that other killers have no way of occupying, which gave Deathslinger a distinct identity as the only stealthy ranged killer in the game. This also makes up for his limited range, and helps him deal with "hold W" gamers. The ADS changes were fine once you adapted to them, but the12 comments 241 views last activity

Extremely anecdotal. Played a couple games at 10pm to 12am. Survivors queues took several minutes, but killer queues were literally instant. Is it just me, or are other people experiencing this?3 comments 11 views last activity

Since Reassurance is extremely similar to Kinship in it's role in the survivor's strategy, Kinship should be changed slightly so it's a viable alternative to Reassurance. Current Kinship: If another Survivor is within 16 meters of your Hook while Kinship is active, the Struggle Phase timer is paused for 26 / 30 / 34 seconds . New Kinship: If the Killer is within 16 meters of yo5 comments 61 views last activity

After the chart released that showed perk pick rates across all MMR brackets, I've been dying to see a chart that shows kill rates per killer across all MMR brackets. Would be cool to see how Nurse does at low vs high MMR, and how M1 killers do at low vs high MMR. Of course, after the recent big update, I think the dust needs to settle before we can get any meaningful data.9 comments 111 views last activity

I personally love juking Huntress hatchets and flying Victors. Playing against Deathslinger is always a thrill, and I'm usually rooting for him and hoping he gets some good shots on me. I also bizarrely love getting face camped by Bubba. I call it being "Chosen."27 comments 241 views last activity

Legion is a fairly popular and fun to play killer, but playing against Legion can often be boring or dull as survivor. The killer taps you and runs away to chase someone else, so you don't really get to have any kind of fun interaction with the killer. On top of that, you must spend 12 seconds Mending before you can safely go back to doing gens or start healing. My proposed solution aims to keep20 comments 751 views last activity

I was excited for the meta shake-up patch. For survivor, builds are now extremely varied and generally quite interesting to play against. It feels rewarding to understand perks and synergies to put together interesting builds, and also to counter them as killer. However, killer builds replaced the four slowdown perks of yester-patch with the four slowdown perks of today. Nothing feels quite as b34 comments 421 views last activity

When is the Nurse rework coming? No, not a "we gave her two more meme add-ons and doubled her cooldown", a real bottom-up rework that allows Nurse to co-exist with the rest of the Dead By Daylight killers and knock her off of the unhealthy platform of the only killer where your best counterplay is dying somewhere inconvenient. I'm not going to get into add-ons or perks, because I exclusively45 comments 1,101 views last activity

PC After ending a match as killer, the endgame UI fails to load, leaving the player stuck watching the endgame walking animation with no UI. Reproduction: While all the survivors are dying on hook or in End Game Collapse, kick a breakable wall, then open the menu (default key esc) before the animation finishes. If timed correctly (having the options menu open before the animation finishes, and0 comments 11 views last activity

The killer I feel most qualified to give feedback on. The goal of this add-on pass is to combine redundant add-ons into one add-on, and to add variety and interest. In addition, non-functional add-ons (such as reeling speed add-ons) will be completely reworked, as well as small QoL buffs. Basekit changes: Reload time reduced by 0.25 seconds. Missed shot cooldown reduced by 0.25 seconds. Slin10 comments 221 views last activity

I play a lot of Deathslinger, and he gets bodied by Hold W. At a certain range (about 10+ or 12+ meters), survivors can juke your shot on reaction to the sound of you firing. So you have to hold W to catch up and get in 8m or so range before you can land a shot. Takes about 10 seconds or so to get into 8m range if they start holding W at exactly 12m, and a whopping 40 seconds to get into 8m rang29 comments 431 views last activity

I went looking to see if the MMR changes have already gone into effect, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Matches are feeling way more fun and laid back lately, as both killer and survivor. It made me start to think that the MMR changes went live, and I just missed it. Maybe I've just been in a good mood lately lol2 comments 71 views last activity

I recently watched Choy's video on adding side objectives for survivors to create more interesting gameplay. Video here -> https://youtu.be/GDaUNpeg76U Here's the main point summarized: Dead by Daylight, when played optimally, is very stressful and often boring. Players often play optimally, since there is not much else to do in the game other than do gens and escape or kill survivors.2 comments 61 views last activity

Howdy! As we all know, our resident cowboy isn't doing so hot since he started skipping the gym and struggles to hoist his gun to line up a shot. He's far from weak, mind you, but he's generally a worse choice than the other three ranged killers; Huntress, Trickster, and Artist. I will also occasionally refer to Pyramid Head and Nemesis, since they have similar playstyle to Slinger. It's hard t8 comments 101 views last activity

I was playing Wraith on Lery's, and wasn't doing too hot. Kept getting hits, but couldn't commit to chases since I kept eating pallets like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I was chasing Nea, and we ran past Kate and Yun-Jin on a gen. I figured they would just commit and ignored them, since I wanted a down. But then Yun-Jin stood up and blocked my path, preventing me from chasing Nea and boxing me in the9 comments 71 views last activity

Like it says on the tin. Ghostie and Legion both had the problem where many of their add-on were linear bonuses to their power, and many add-ons had identical effects but with bigger numbers. This was fixed by combining all the identical add-ons into one add-on with a big boost. Would love to see Deathslinger, Pyramid Head, and others to get similar treatment. It's kind of too bad to see add-on21 comments 221 views last activity

I genuinely miss having fun playing this game, MMR actually made dbd so unbelievably stressful and unfun. This game simply falls apart at high level play. Killers face camp the first person they down and then use NOED to get one or two extra kills. Survivors just drop every pallet as soon as they get it and wait for you to break it.

Like it says on the tin. I don't want to poison the well, but I personally think that although the old rank based matchmaking system was flawed, it was decisively more fun than MMR. I had a lot more fun as both killer and survivor with the old system, and I felt that I was consistently going against players of similar skill level.

Deadlock is intended to block the generator with the most progress after a generator is completed, but in a match I just played on Crotus Penn Asylum it would instead block random a generator when a generator is completed. I verified this when the gen in main building was almost completed, and a different gen got completed.

tl;dr: Counterplay against Slinger in chase is good and is welcome, but making him less stealthy without giving him tools to replace his pseudo-stealth makes him an objectively worse version of Huntress. I have about 400 hours on Slinger, so over half of my playtime in DbD has been from playing Slinger.

Found a bug in a match a few minutes ago where I was playing as Spirit on PC and I lagged out while Phasing. I was stuck in a state where I was charging Phase Walk and unable to stop charging it, enter Phase Walk, attack, kick gens, ect. However, I was able to move around. After a while I was able to attack again, but the survivors didn't react to me being around them at all. At first I thought0 comments 11 views last activity

It's pretty common for people to change their icons with mods in DbD, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it for chase music. I'm pretty sure everyone has heard Mr. Envy's fan made Legion chase music and wanted in the game. So, does anyone know how to change the chase music?8 comments 3,771 views last activity

NOTE: Repost because I posted in the wrong category. I just came out of a game as killer where the survivors hid the entire match and never did a single gen, so obviously they all got sacrificed.
