I just had 7 (seven) matches in a ROW that all went the same: killer's sole approach is to slug at the start of the game and then hook or let bleed out. Now, I know these were all new players and that they 'learned' this probably from some BNFogwhisperer, but... this has gotten excessive. I can understand when people defend things like tunneling, slugging and camping when it's rare, but 7 match40 comments 581 views last activity

If there ever was a map that would have benefitted from breakable walls, it's this one. Look, I don't know how accurate to RE the map is, but there is a difference between a map you can get used to like Midwich (whatever you think of it) and what we have here. It's huge, it's labyrinthine and the map lasted nearly AN HOUR because we all got hopelessly lost (that's an hour including an unspoken a10 comments 191 views last activity

Could you folks please dive into dbd's code and see if YOU can find what's wrong? Whether it's an overabundance of particle animations/emissions (very likely), code not calling functions correctly (see all secondary-effect ranged killers etc) I get the feeling fans might have an easier time to spot the culprit than the devs by now. Please, thank you and good luck Especially, please look for0 comments 61 views last activity

You are already using perks (usually in combo with reload addons) that are giving you such faster attack speed and an advantage in term of sneaking up on people... So... WHY exactly do you camp, tunnel and slug, and barely USE the gun when you're in a chase? Your perk/addon built is in crass contradiction to your playstyle. Why?27 comments 551 views last activity

PLEASE, devs, in the name of all that's holy and unholy, DON'T have Clown, of all characters, be the first character you declare to be queer. It's bad enough he's on your pride month banner. Now, why is this a bad thing: The devs would confirm a character who ticks off about ALL queerphobic fearmongering tropes as lgbtq+ instead of any other given character.

Been talking to some friends who do computer animation and we come to the conclusion that the most likely culprit for the performance issues, overheating, console bricking and glitches are badly done particle animations and emission lighting (which especially the new map has a ton of). A state-of-the-art looking game is nothing if it's not playable. So, please, for the love of everything holy a3 comments 71 views last activity

We have a roster over 25+ on each side, over 80 perks each, and no balance. I'd say after the MUCH NEEDED gamehealth patches chapters should (for a while) maybe introduce secondary modes and new perks for old characters. We now have bots, so, for example unlock an ability for plague to summon her fellow worshippers to corrupt pools or gens for her in a certain radius from the summoning point wh14 comments 151 views last activity

Look, devs, by now you should be aware that whatever events you got planned will fall flat because of the onslaught of bugs breaking the game and people's platforms. So, for crying out loud, get someone to audit your code, cause no matter how much you say it's not spaghetti-code, the facts speak against it. example? even without being able to look at the code I can take a good guess that there'1 comments 71 views last activity

Now, having sets that use new meshes and/or are licensed makes some sense. For everything else: Survivors : Dwight: No linked sets Meg: No linked sets Claudette: No linked sets. Jake: No linked sets. Nea: Graff-Crafter : Linking makes no sense as similar hoodies (feng and deathslinger for example) are not linked.

Have the ptb function like a custom match: all perks unlocked, all characters on lvl50, limitless addons, items and offerings have all perks be available on all their ranks no bloodpoints. you can give out the score, but 'winning' is not the goal here encourage people to play more than just the new killer/map. thank you.2 comments 33 views last activity

Been thinking about which perks are generally easily exploitable for either side, and I get the feeling (feeling, not fact) that licensed chapters have a much higher chance to bring a 'broken' perk than original chapters. While sure, it was blight who brought us Undying, and trickster who brought us Starstruck, the licensed chapters brought us DS, OoO, BloodWarden, BBQ, FD and now Lethal. and w9 comments 101 views last activity

Based on the maps they came with, what do you reckon is the INTENDED counterplay to original killersMinus Blight, Twins and Trickster, as they have no maps, so [Insert No Counterplay Jokes Here]. From the start maps where more or less created around their respective player. So, what do you think was the intended counter to certain killers, looking at specific features of their maps?5 comments 81 views last activity

right now the game is, while playable, a mess. Small things like infuriating and persisting bugs to big things like the game simply overheating platforms due to no optimization whatsoever. The least we should get is a bunch of rift fragments as not-playing means not proceeding on the current rift.11 comments 81 views last activity

Like, I have seen a good number of people across social media saying their consoles or PCs are simply overheating with nemesis matches, and they don't have potato pcs either. So... this is honestly the point where we need a focus on performance and stuff. screw new chapters and cosmetics, fix the thing before someone looks into whether or not there can be a collective lawsuit due to property dam47 comments 1,174 views last activity

A license of the calibre of RE is expensive, that's a given. But this make me worry for the future. People are DEMANDING certain franchises in the game, but... getting Silent Hill already skewed things and brought us linked cells-only cosmetics.4 comments 51 views last activity

It's actually pretty nice. Questions: Is it actually possible to get to the shack undetected? The moment you vault over the log the crow will get startled, and you can't sneak along the edge. Is it possible to 3gen yourself in the 'survive with bots'? and if yes, is there a tutorial note for it? will there be updates to the tutorial in the future to allow practice with all (unlocked) killers0 comments 31 views last activity

Like, I understand it's a marketing thing, but that you give people a free charm while long time players get nothing but bugs is... Could we maybe have it that we get some nifty chapter exclusive charms if we have bought/are buying chapter/other dlcs in the past?0 comments 61 views last activity

Regardless of what you think about tunneling, camping and slugging, I think you agree that if a match ends with 20k+ for the killer and <10k, if not <5k for survivors something can't have been that fair. So, I'd like to actually fieldtest how much you can make through these supposedly fair and 'sometimes necessary' 'tactics' in a match. Anyone up for it?12 comments 131 views last activity

This isn't a surefire way to win, but some of these odds and ends might even the chances a little. I'll start with what I know: General: Do totems. Especially when you think the killer is AFK. Do totems. Adrenaline and DS will do you no favour when you are faced with noed and/or devour. Vs. Hag: You can crouch through traps and not activate them, and you can unhook while crouching and crou5 comments 81 views last activity

Why? This is a serious question: People KNOW that for some killers you got to change your tactic, at least slightly. Yet so many high ranks will throw the game to get the matches in speedrun mode. I can understand when new players don't know you can crouch through hag's traps, left alone that you can crouch immediately after unhooking, not activating them. Yet people just run through then (14 comments 291 views last activity

I know, I know, hitboxes in this game are all over the place anyway, but since the minor buff/alteration to trickster's hitbox the ranged hitboxes for plague and deathslinger are just utterly screwed. They already had tiny hitdots by all means, but since the trickster buff the hits just don't register anymore. As in: the hitanimation plays, even the gasp sound plays, but nothing happens.

This is NOT a question to the community, I don't care why you think tunneling, camping and slugging and generally skill-deprieved scummy playing are 'sometimes necessary' (because you made it abundantly clear it's cause you can't stand the idea of losing A GAME. or better the idea of not winning it in the most humiliating way for your opponents).

When designing any given killer in a game like DbD there's ought to be an element that allows survivors to counter (NOT completely negate) their strengths: In some games it's talking quietly, in others it's not running, etc. If you look at the DbD killer's powers on paper, these counters are there. The issue is that there are perks that completely negate the weakness, thus taking away the possi44 comments 791 views last activity

On everything below Ultra setting Autohave has this weird contrast solar-eclipse light lighting that has everything blend together. regardless of what cosmetic a player is wearing, regardless what side, they are hard to spot. Please overhaul it.5 comments 31 views last activity

Now, I don't wanna hear any of that 'slugging is a legit tactic and sometimes necessary' stuff. This is about people who go and slug right from the start, leaving people to bleed out. maybe with the exception of the obsession for the extra points. and of course they'll go and knock down anyone with UB immediately. Cause by all means that is holding the game hostage, which is banable iirc.54 comments 802 views last activity

Looking through the ptb (not played, see below why), streams, video essays etc, there seems to be one thing people sorta agree about: nemesis could have been better. some say he needs a buff, other say he needs a nerf, but overall people seem to agree that there's a lot of... lacklusterness to him.

I had hoped the wiki would have an overview of what 'collections' (like a 'waterfront massacre' or the greek gods one) are there ingame so far, and what they contain. As it is likely that all original characters will get something in these collections, it'd be nice to have an overview.0 comments 11 views last activity

Okay, we all know it's live, whether on purpose or accident (as there's been no announcement?), so, feedback time: Having the gnome only appear during egc is absurd. The crowns from the 4th anniversary were better handled. If you think helping people get their crowns is somehow doing you serious harm because it loses you a pip, please do uninstall the game and get help.

I'd say it shows some great skill as killer to take it easy if you get first hook dcs and similar, and decide to just farm or something and let the remaining survivors go. All cause you know you have the skill to easily get that pip back next match.9 comments 131 views last activity
