Greetings, friends of the Fog! For the very last time here on the Forums, I hope this discussion finds you doing well. By know I'm sure you are that the DBD Forums' days are numbered. It will remain until this year's Halloween, then it will be shut down, as per the recent announcement. And well… it would be an understatement to say that these are terrible news. After so many years, so many disc24 comments 475 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this discussion finds you doing well. I just wanted to drop this here because it is, by far, the announcement I'm most excited about. Even if it may be a bit too early, it is hard not to get excited about this because this is huge. This has massive potential. Now, I imagine licensed content will be hit with some heavy restrictions once this drops. Perhaps14 comments 323 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this discussion finds you doing well. So, if you are familiar with my posts, you know that Freddy Krueger is a character that means a lot to me. If you aren't, however, allow me to quickly give you some context: Freddy Krueger has been my main killer in DBD from the day I started playing the game, which was all the way back in December of 2018.

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. As you may know or may not know, the Skull Merchant recently surpassed Freddy and became my favorite killer in Dead By Daylight. I am having more fun with her than I did with Old Freddy, and considering how much I loved Old Freddy, that is saying something. The problem, however, is that this fun has, possibly, an expiration19 comments 242 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. It has been a while since we've had one of these discussions, and now that Springtrap has been out for a while and the new chapter doesn't have a killer, I think it is the perfect moment to have one. It should give us a good idea of, overall, where people place Springtrap in such lists and they should remain up to date for92 comments 3,068 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. So, I am asking this question here because I recently got back to playing Skull Merchant, mostly because I am a little bit tired of playing current Freddy while knowing full well that he was and should be way more fun than he currently is. But I am no Skull Merchant expert, so I am requesting assistance here to make sure I50 comments 1,533 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this discussion finds you doing well. By now most of us have already seen that the Go Next Prevention mechanic was killswitched after the disaster that it caused when players got punished even if they did nothing wrong. But I think that raises the question as to why such mechanic was added in the first place. And the answer may be obvious at first: the "Go171 comments 4,477 views last activity

Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this discussion finds you doing well. So, now that most of us had a chance to either play the PTB or watch other people playing it, I think it is clear that Springtrap's power has an aspect that not everyone enjoyed: the axe. And one of the reasons why some players, myself included, is because of how extremely similar it is to a killer we already have. Sure22 comments 712 views last activity

Pretty sure I've read that somewhere, but I don't remember the answer. There is one rift cosmetic I want from Rift 19 (or at least I think it is from that Rift, I'm not sure). How long does it take for them to be made available?6 comments 671 views last activity

This is part of my little independent research, and I've noticed this is a bit hard to find. Most of the time when you look up the original Skull Merchant all you get are reviews of the chapter or rant videos. So I'm requesting help here. I'm looking for a video or a stream VOD that showcases an average match as or against original Skull Merchant. Yes, I know about the infamous match that every9 comments 291 views last activity

This is a fun little discussion that I'd like to propose here. It isn't uncommon for us to discuss things we wish had never been changed, like BBQ and WGLF. Or things that we wish would return to the game, with the best example being Old Freddy. Generally speaking there are a lot of things from the Old DBD we wish were still around. But what about the opposite? This is a question I think has n44 comments 581 views last activity

Hello, friends! I hope this thread finds you doing well. So, over three years ago I made a post here on the Forums called "Just one bad day: aiming for The Pig.", which detailed my horrible experience trying to learn how to play Pig effectively, shortly before the Fifth Anniversary. Needless to say, it was an absolutely miserable experience that I would have been happy to never repeat. …Howeve21 comments 461 views last activity

So, I am requesting help here because I am afraid I do not understand what are you supposed to do against a Xeno when you are being chased. If you hold W you get hit, if you vault a window you get hit, if you go for pallets you get hit, if you try to loop him you get hit. Turrets aren't available every single time, and when they are it eventually recovers crawler mode and you get hit. Spinning d39 comments 886 views last activity

Just a little something I wanted to share here: This was actually my first time playing against Dracula on Backwater Swamp, and I think his castle looks good here. I guess generally speaking his castle is a good contribution to the horror atmosphere, and this realm is the only one who still has the original DBD style (even if the Fog is missing), back w6 comments 301 views last activity

...Why do they choose the event queue? So, I would like to promote a little discussion here and try to understand why this is happening during the last few days of the event. This has genuinely caused me a distressing level of frustration. I was and still am really, really happy with this event and it has been the most fun I've had with DBD since the old days, but some of the players I've been26 comments 591 views last activity

So, earlier today I got a daily ritual to kill one survivor as Freddy. I tried to go for Devour Hope because I wanted to use an event offering instead of a Mori... totem barely lasts, of course. Coldwind Farm has some really bad totem spots. I played the rest of the match and made one hell of an effort to stop those gens, because Freddy. Somehow managed to succeed.

So, a thread made by fellow Forum member @ArkInk featured a recently conducted Slasher Radio interview with Mathieu Cote, and towards the end of video Cote is asked about the Freddy rework. Here it is, the moment they talk about Freddy can be found at 56:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8_cF5-YDRE And well… as Cote himself said, it is indeed a generic response.

Now here is something I was really hoping would not happen again. I guess not even five years of seeing the game I loved slowly disappear was enough to teach me what to expect. So, if you weren't around for the first time Lights Out was available, let me explain the situation: Freddy wasn't playable. Literally the only killer in the game to be excluded from the modifier. And as a Freddy main, i12 comments 891 views last activity

I know there aren't many of us left, but I wanted to ask this question to those who still main / play Freddy. Tonight has been a bit difficult for me as a Freddy main, I had a streak of bad games. And on some of those games I felt like I was playing a killer that completely lacks a power.

So, the January 2024 Developer Update has dropped today, and with it came changes to Hillbilly and Sadako which were not included on the PTB. And long story short? While Hillbilly was done extremely right, Sadako was done extremely wrong. Even before the PTB was available I was already pretty happy with the direction they wanted to go with Sadako.

So, I just had a match where 2 survivors with Boil Over equipped would constantly run to the upper room on Ironworks of Misery where it was impossible to get them on a hook afterwards. At least not with the hooks I had available on that match. And I was unable to just slug them due to the presence of No Mither on one of them.

I was going through some old threads earlier today, and I got reminded of a rather unfortunate situation from before the Prestige change, that I kinda wanted to fix. But since it is impossible to do so, I decided to ask the developers a little favor: Can you go to my Freddy's Bloodweb and spawn a single Glass Splinter on it?

There have been some discussions recently regarding the horror aspect (or lack of one) in Dead by Daylight. And whenever one of those discussions pops up, the maps are also mentioned.

During the recent Reddit AMA, there was a particular question that got my attention: Q: Hi, thanks to the dev team for making this Q&A possible! When the first Sadako rework hit the live servers, a lot of Onryō mains were very vocally upset about the huge changes in how her powers work, requiring players to shift to fundamentally different playstyles, and also creating a more confusing e67 comments 1,344 views last activity

I decided to equip this perk just for giggles when a group of survivors sent me to Backwater Swamp, the only realm in the game that I still enjoy. And believe it or not, this perk came in clutch. Four kills, and people stayed on the hooks for quite some time. Blocking aura-reading can be powerful. Do you ever use this perk? What is your experience with it?18 comments 975 views last activity

Greetings, survivors, killers, and both-siders of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. Thanks for joining me today. So, Freddy Krueger is currently trending around here.

Greetings killers, survivors, and both-siders of the Fog. I hope this thread finds you doing well. Its pretty much the title, really. If DBD was to end right now, and you had just enough time for one last trial, how would you want it to be. Would you play as a Survivor or a Killer? On which map? Using each perks, if I may ask?

Fellow members of the DBD community, please help me figure something out here. In Dead by Daylight, a Chapter usually consists of a new map, a new survivor and a new killer. This pattern was here from the very beginning and remained unchanged for a long time. Meanwhile, a "paragraph" consists of a new character introduced to the game, with the main examples being Bubba (which was originally sup18 comments 271 views last activity

Greetings survivors, killers, and both-siders of the Fog! I hope this poll finds you doing well. If there is something we all agree with, is that DBD has a special talent when it comes to music.
