I thought it was interesting how you can see exactly when my love for DBD died off. Anyone leave the game and come back?16 comments 343 views last activity

So I'll preface this by saying I uninstalled the game shortly after the Alien chapter came out and recently reinstalled it when Dracula was released. Even then, I've only played like 3 or 4 days a month since (idk how many months it's been) That being said, this patch doesn't seem to be all that big of a deal. -Killers got some decent changes to perks that don't get used often. -Survivors g3 comments 151 views last activity

I've been using Diversion since release because I just love it and think it's funny so I have am idea of exactly where my pebble and scratch marks will land. For newer players, I don't think it's quite as intuitive. So my idea would either be to show the trajectory of the pebble OR just the "splash zone" of where the scratch marks will appear. Now obviously this would be difficult for indoor5 comments 72 views last activity

Anyone who has been here knows that the community has complained about a LOT of perks. I even saw someone complain about my 2 favorites (Any Means Necessary and Saboteur) I'm curious to know which ones people hated the most though. For me the choice is easy: Killer: Eruption by far. Killers broke chase every 5 seconds to kick gens and then when you got hit by it, you just had to go make a sand33 comments 2,143 views last activity

I stopped playing DBD consistently about a year ago? like a month before the Alien chapter came out, whenever that was. The first killer I played against was The Unknown and idk if this killer is just dumb strong or if my lack of knowledge about his abilities and the fact that he can just teleport across the entire map led to me and my duo getting steamrolled. Then I played a Vecna and that w3 comments 61 views last activity

So the match starts as normal, me teabagging beside a random teammate for 3 seconds. I go searching for my first gen and by the time I get like 5% on the gen, the first person goes down and is hook. He immediately tries unhooking and removes himself from the game. Meanwhile while that's happening, the other 2 teammates both ran TO the killer and got downed on purpose because they clearly wanted o19 comments 351 views last activity

This game is currently insufferable and has been pretty much since the Knight came out when playing survivor. And the issue isn't really any particular killer or the game itself, but it's the community and I will stand behind that statement 100% it's the "i don't care about your fun, I want my 4k, I'm going to play in the most "efficient" way possible attitude that the community has that makes66 comments 1,864 views last activity

As a sabo enjoyer who NEVER takes this perk off, I appreciate any buff it gets but I think the main issue the perk has isn't the time it takes to sabo, but the fact that the perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds even if you cancel. I understand there has to be a cooldown so you can't just spam break hooks and you have to commit to the action and have some risk, but sometimes just pulling someone6 comments 151 views last activity

So I just filled out the satisfaction survey or whatever it's called and they mentioned somewhere in there that "post game emotes" is something that's under consideration. My question is why? What's the point of a post game emote? When I play Fortnite (for example) the fun of emotes is dancing and being goofy prior to or DURING the game. Post game, who cares? The killer won't see it because t4 comments 133 views last activity

So I've noticed this challenge is going particularly slow. My question is does the challenge ONLY count 3 emblems from each player who completes the challenge or will it count your gold emblems even after you've done your part? Follow up question: Does it count your gold medals if you don't have the challenge selected? Should I just keep the challenge highlighted even if I'm done it to add to t2 comments 331 views last activity

I just wanna know who came up with the special abilities for this event because when I play survivor, I get to block a window (which only helps in rare locations because most killers won't vault windows anyway) or I can pull up a 1 time use pallet, that i have to be standing still to activate because it won't let me activate while running, and then if you miss the stun, you're dead because you're28 comments 1,321 views last activity

Getting the annoying part out the way first, I say survivor main just based on hours alone but of my 4.5k hours, I'd say it's about 3k survivor, 1.5k killer (rough estimate) so I've played a decent amount of both. I only say that because I know the community likes to immediately dismiss thoughts from people who ONLY play one side of the game That out of the way, here's my thoughts: Bloodweb an0 comments 41 views last activity

While I would love to create a post about the amazing perk, Deja Vu, this is sadly not what this actually is. Sorry People who have been playing DBD for years pretty much have an idea of how the games will go from here because we've been here before. Remember prior to CoH during the last big healing healing nerf/Sloppy Butcher buff (i forget if these happened simultaneously but in my head, the3 comments 191 views last activity

Now I can finally catch up to the sprint bursting Meg who feels the need to sprint from hook instead of letting me heal them with "We'll Make It" while the killer is across the map0 comments 91 views last activity

Love everything about it. 1. The biggest and most important news of course: Any Means Necessary cooldown removed. No I can reset all the pallets when killers don't break em. I run this as a regular part of my build 2. Eruption had the incapacitated effect removed. They could've left it at 10% instead of 10% of current and I still would've been fine with it because the Incapacitated aspect was3 comments 81 views last activity

I know these people exist in every gaming community and they probably aren't as numerous as the good people, but sometimes the DBD community just feels like a crowd of people out to be jerks and inconvenience other people. Yesterday I was just going through the Winter tomes and getting challenges done and I get to the one where I need to take a hit while hiding in a snowman. Simple enough.

So a friend and I just played against a Clown whose terror radius kept disappearing completely and I was wondering if there was some interaction with these 2 perks that would cause that to happen. I understand Dark Devotion causes the terror radius to pass to the Obsession only when they are hit, but his terror radius disappeared whenever he hit ANYONE and it didn't transfer over at all.

It is my opinion that survivors should not have any perks that grant bonuses to gen speeds and all of the ones that currently do should be reworked or have their effect added to some element of the game. Normal gen speed is enough. For example, in the same way Leader provides a speed boost to all actions aside from gens to everyone around you, Prove Thyself should provide the USER with a speed1 comments 81 views last activity

So remember back when there was this big hoopla about how 40 perks were being changed and this was supposed to shake up the meta and make different playstyles come to light..... Yeah that happened on the survivor side, but the killer meta changed very little (if at all). 95% of my games yesterday against various killers were "Eruption, Call of Brine, Pain Res, + insert aura reading perk here".73 comments 2,222 views last activity

Got a game with 5 stacks of Pentimento. It was even more satisfying because Pentimento was the only reason I prevented the gate from being opened2 comments 51 views last activity

So I'm curious about something with the upcoming changes: We all know some survivors like to teabag and let the killer smack them out the gate. If you're the last survivor and you get downed close enough that you would fall out the exit gate, would you still fall out the gate or would the game register that you got downed and initiate the Finishing Mori. Because THAT would be hilarious imo if15 comments 341 views last activity

What perks do you run when you just want to mess around and have fun (I know messing around and not sweating is a foreign concept to some) XD For me those perks are Saboteur for obvious reasons Diversion because watching someone search an area where you threw a Pebble is top tier comedy Head On because it applies directly to the forehead For the People because no one expects it, not even m10 comments 121 views last activity

But then I came here and it's business as usual. What are we even complaining about? Base kit BT buff was 100% the right call because everyone knows those 5 seconds meant NOTHING to many killers and they'd slug the unhooked who came to trade and then tunnel anyway. The people hurt most by this are hard tunnelers so that's a W. Reassurance nerf: I think the cap should be 120 seconds so you ca26 comments 701 views last activity

From what I've seen (I don't play PTB's but I watch), this perk is a decent bandaid. The one concern I've seen is so irrelevant that I don't see it happening very often but people are concerned that 3 people are going to get together and cycle their reassurances to hold someone hostage. While yes that would such, I don't see that happening often if at all. The good the perk does heavily outwe4 comments 81 views last activity

Do these 2 perks synergize? I had a game the other day where I had a WGLF stack from safely unhooking someone and used For the People on a teammate, but they didn't get the endurance effect when they got up. Is that intentional or did I misunderstand something about the perks?14 comments 1,201 views last activity

There's literally like 5 post a day from people claiming "here's the real reason survivors are mad/bad at the game/whatever" And then half of these post mention Dead hard, DS, or just go on some rant about how "ALL" survivors played the game with the sole intention of bullying the killer.

In my experience from playing both roles, I've seen 2 things since the update. 1. Survivors clinging to the old meta and desperately trying to make it work and 2. A random mess of perks that hold little to no weight Has anyone noticed any trends yet?

I'll be really interested to see what kill rates look like after: -1st day -1st week -1st month Of the new updates. I know we rarely get those stats from BHVR every other year but it would be great if they compiled that kind of data and released to us to see if the kill rates are where they want them to be17 comments 511 views last activity

Now I'll preference this by saying MOST of my games yesterday weren't horrendous and I played a few solo (they sucked) and the rest in a duo. That said I mainly want to address the supposed meta shake up. For survivors, the perks are all over the place and I haven't yet noticed a meta forming. On killers, the meta itself hasn't changed. Killers are still using BBQ (despite people claiming it w5 comments 91 views last activity

I recently started achievement hunting and realized I only had 3 survivor achievements left and am now down to the last one (End a chase by hiding in a locker).

I haven't played the PTB (I never do) so I haven't seen it in practice yet but has anyone played the PTB and gone up against a Legion or Plague with the new Thana buff on top of the 10 second addition to each gen time.

I'm literally just going to go through the Dev updates in order so it could be a little lengthy. Also while I am a "survivor main", I do play a decent amount of killer as well.

Platform: Playing on PC, Possible bug: I get a visual notification for whenever a dull totem breaks (no audio), Specifics: Current perks are Saboteur, repressed alliance, empathy, empathetic connection.

So while playing DBD today, I noticed that I was seeing the auras of totems breaking. Not hex totems, just regular totems. I managed to get a short clip of it. My perk build was (Repressed alliance, saboteur, empathy, and empathetic connection). Do one of these perks have a totem aura read effect or is this a bug?

Every now and then I see someone on the forums say something along the lines of "Looping should be removed" (sometimes in those exact words) I have 2 questions: How? Looping is literally just the player's knowledge of how many times they can run around a certain obstacle based on the killer's speed + power before they get murdered.

So I just had a match where me and a few friends were playing on the new Haddonfield because we wanted to see what the map was like of course.

Someone has to say it because apparently everyone thinks this perk is god tier. Most arguments for why it's supposedly god tier always describe DH being used in its BEST case scenario where you're at the perfect distance to dead hard to a pallet, but the reality is that you're not always going to be in position to be in the best case scenario.
