Why don't disconnects count as kills, re: Merciless Killer status? It's kind of a silly oversight that survivors can 100% deny adept achievements to you by disconnecting.5 comments 361 views last activity

Seriously, what's wrong with this? This is not cool at all. Tome 10 challenge -- Rip 'em Up : Hit 7 Survivor(s) with the Chainsaw as the Hillbilly. Complete this challenge in a single trial. Hag daily ritual: Teleport and hit a survivor 4 times. Between yesterday and today, I attempted both of these and definitely hit the thresholds on both, yet they did not clear (the Hag daily didn't ev1 comments 41 views last activity

As someone who likes collecting the various limited-time event items and offerings on characters that I play regularly, I was wondering if any of these events/items will return: Anniversary Flashlight, Med-Kit, and Toolbox (last seen during Fifth Year Anniversary event in 2021) . These seem to have been replaced by the similar Twisted Masquerade items this year, but they are considered separat1 comments 51 views last activity

The loss of progress that impacted some people who logged in between certain times the other day, how do we know if we were impacted? I'm confident that I logged in during these times based on some timestamp on Discord discussions, but I'm not seeing anything to indicate that I should worry. My account looks fine, I just got my monthly season rewards. No daily rewards since Aug. 11, though. So a5 comments 141 views last activity

Do we have plans to make face camping less punishing? "Yes we do! It's been a thorn in the design side for a long time. In theory, face camping can be countered by just leaving the person on the hook and go work on the generators. In practice, it takes along time for players to realize that face camping is happening and then find a generator to work on. While we look for a solution, we don't16 comments 221 views last activity

So, the new grades are the same as the previous rank bands, with a fresh coat of paint and the same pip-based system. Except now, you can never drop to a lower rank, and everybody earns BP rewards based on where they end up, then everyone gets reset to Ash IV on the 13th of each month. But now our actual game rank -- our MMR -- is an entirely separate score, it is kept hidden from us at all time106 comments 1,591 views last activity

Yo, people have been reporting this since at least July and it's still not fixed, despite a new patch being pushed out today. When is this gonna be fixed? We can't progress this challenge, no matters what kind of key or add-ons we use. (Oops, I meant to put this in the Bug Reporting forum, but I'm an idiot. Sorry.)0 comments 1 views last activity

Today's first new survivor challenge in Tome 8, page 3: A True Friend : Unhook a Survivor safely or take a protection hit 15 time(s). As a result, everyone is playing very weirdly and in an almost universally suicidal/non-productive way. Why do you guys at Behaviour make challenges like this? Do you not understand how people interact with video games? If you have some sort of challenge element4 comments 131 views last activity

In Tome 1, page 3, the Locked & Found challenge says "Fully deplete 3 keys." It does not progress at the end of the match, whether I use and deplete a broken key or a real key. Is this challenge just broken, or what?2 comments 71 views last activity

Dead by Daylight really needs a mechanic like the Super Smash Bros. hammers, so we can spend them to clear challenges that are frustrating or that we don't want to do (or are otherwise terminally hung up on). Maybe give everyone like 1-2 per month, at rank reset or something. Or maybe award one upon reaching the end of each tome page, I dunno.

I just read the recap that Peanits posted . The discussion of the test results is so vague that you might as well have said nothing at all. "This is a very general summary of the system. There is a lot more nuance and specialized rules for DbD, so in an effort to keep this brief I am oversimplifying a lot ." Stop being brief and oversimplifying. Be detailed and direct !

Here are some thoughts on camping and tunneling. Maybe they're really stupid -- and I'm sure people in this discussion will no doubt delight in telling me all the ways that they are stupid -- but this is just my brain coming up with ideas, and I don't necessarily see all the potential holes in them just yet.

Seriously, what? The struggle-on-hook is on the level of "Moris screw the game flow up dramatically" in terms pernicious game mechanics that serve no purpose, other than to purely frustrate and aggravate players. It has the following downsides: It's flatly just annoying. You slam a key over and over. It's "Press X to not die."

Without a pallet very near by, there is absolutely no way to avoid being downed in one hit by Leatherface if he is chasing you with his chainsaw sweep. It lasts FOREVER. Why is this a thing?

Just make it stop. It's awful. It's lag-prone. It leads people to accidentally dying because it didn't register a keystroke, and this creates a really negative game experience where you feel that the game has cheated you. It serves no purpose, other than to be annoying. This would be a mori-caliber change, in the sense of just being a small conditional tweak.

Now that moris have been dealt with (in the exact way I have been hoping they would), let's talk keys! Here is my suggestion for how to change the keys: Broken Key : 10 seconds of use. Dull Key : 20 seconds of use. Charge can be consumed to fill the unlocking meter and open black locks; the killer sees your aura and receives a loud noise notification during this time, and canceling or being21 comments 1,571 views last activity

Question: Was the Twins concept originally intended as an avenue to secure the Child's Play license? Because it seems to me that this would have been a great concept for a Chucky and Tiffany killer, while also dodging the "Victor is not a baby" angst of the theme they wound up using.11 comments 142 views last activity

If you get three-genned, don't complain to the killer in chat. This happens because survivor teams paint themselves into this particular corner. I just had a match on Lery's, as Doctor, versus survivors who three-genned themselves by leaving the center gen and two other gens very close together.

Sometimes offerings just straight-up don't get applied and don't disappear from either the inventory or the offering slot, and equipped perks randomly don't get shown on the endgame screen.

Like, why aren't Tome challenges just things you automatically make progress toward, under the condition that you can access a given node? Why do I have to pick one single active challenge to progress toward? It would be way more user-friendly for this stuff to just increment without having to earmark anything.

Can you please address the sanctioned griefing mechanic that is the Memento Mori? It moves the game's goalposts like no other mechanic in DBD, and I don't understand what the upshot of it is, for anyone. The red mori effectively erases a life from every survivor, and it takes Bloodpoint-earning opportunities away from killers.

The grind is bad, and it's godawful for new players. It scares them away from the game. I don't want to type a whole thing, because I've already done that too much. Here is a collection of ideas to improve this. Do any or all (well probably not ALL) of them, just make it easier/faster. This is by far DBD's worst problem.

Otzdarva made a video awhile back ( right here ), prior to the Stranger Things chapter, evaluating the size, breathing volume, and injured volume of each survivor. The overall conclusions, looking at his chart, were: Women tend to be small-sized, while men tend to be large-sized. Kate, Ace, Tapp, Jane, and David have the quietest breathing.

I don't understand why Behaviour doesn't punish hook suicides the same as disconnects. It makes no sense and legitimizes griefing, because it amounts to nothing more than a penalty-free DC.

Behaviour folks, your matchmaking is so bad. IT'S SO BAD. Like, look at this. This is me, queuing solo as a survivor. I'm the lowest-ranked guy in the group, at rank 5. And the game matches us with... a rank 18 killer? I felt awful for this guy. This is a big part of why the newbie game experience is so miserable.

Why are perks haphazardly colored, and then sorted according to color? It doesn't make any sense why some perks are green, and some perks are purple. Maybe if all rank 1 perks were yellow, all rank 2 perks were green, and all rank 3 perks were purple, it might make a bit more organizational sense (since that would make it easier to see which perks haven't been fully upgraded yet).

I finally hit red ranks for the first time, earlier tonight.

I would pay Behaviour real money right now if there were a service to trade progression among my survivors (i.e. give all of Claudette's current perks/items/progress to Kate, and Claudette gets Kate's current progress in return). It would be a lateral, 1:1 trade for someone who wants to switch their survivor main, but doesn't want to go through the considerable trouble of unlocking everything on1 comments 33 views last activity

Every killer is like this. These hit ranges THROUGH WINDOWS are insane, please fix them. A killer should not be able to hit you through a window, after you have vaulted, when you are standing on the other side.

From time to time, I see threads discussing how some killers prioritize killing Claudette-users, whether they play immersed or not, because she can theoretically be harder (compared to other survivors) to see and chase down sometimes. I'm curious whether this is objectively the case for a lot of killer players, and I'm mostly curious whether it's the case in purple ranks and above.12 comments 211 views last activity

I'm thinking of something akin to the old Ultima Online days when you acquired murder counts that decayed over time. Why not enforce an automatic 15-minute ban for a disconnect -- for any reason -- and make the ban time double (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and so on...) for successive disconnects? Then, each "disconnect count" could decay over a period of, say, 8 real-world hours or some33 comments 632 views last activity

This would help so much to close the "information gap" for solo players. It could go something like: BASE KIT : Allies' auras are revealed to you when they are within a 24 meter range. BOND PERK REWORK : The range that you see nearby allies' auras is increased by 4/8/12 meters. This way, Bond would still be useful, as it would improve the distance (to 28/32/36 meters depending on rank) --0 comments 21 views last activity
