Thanks so much for implementing this system. Presumably this serves as a soft trial for it as well. So if it's deemed successful, please think about rolling it out to the main game mode, with number adjustments obviously. However I would suggest changing hook/cage states to survivors eliminated, otherwise killers would be penalised for spreading hooks in23 comments 601 views last activity

With 2v8 destined to make a comeback with some improvements at some point in the future, I just thought I'd theorycraft a little and give what my suggestions for it could be expanded with, although I'm sure BHVR have ideas for it already, I hope these ideas would be considered.

Backfilling is what happens when someone dodges a lobby. The system pulls in the next viable player in the queue, bypassing any matchmaking parameters to focus on the quickest turnaround. This obviously leads to terrible match ups, particularly as it tends to be the killer dodging the lobbies they don't like the look of. Ultimately the problem here is lobby dodging, but backfilling is DBD's resp2 comments 72 views last activity

Has anyone experienced any sort of reset in the past 24 hours? Last night I played a few survivor games as Claudette. I changed my perk loadout, changed her cosmetics, and I used 3 of my 7 remaining Terrormisu's. I log on today and her perks/cosmetics are back to how they were before, and I have 7 Terrormisu's. I'm unsure of my bloodpoints, I didn't take note of how much I had when I finished.2 comments 61 views last activity

Random idea for a Hex perk that could be useful in the current DbD climate. Every time a Generator is repaired, all Dull Totems become Hex Totems for 30 seconds. (Duration is negotiable) For each Hex Totem active, all survivors suffer from stacking 10% Item Inefficiency, up to a maximum of 50%. If a lit Hex Totem is cleansed this perk is deactivated. Like many of the recent Hex perks, it's3 comments 101 views last activity

So there are a lot of complaints about the Xenomorph's Tail Attack being too strong and Turrets being too weak. While I think there is something about the Xenomorph that makes it very oppressive in certain scenarios, I first want to address these complaints and why they're a little unfounded or misunderstanding the power.

While I'm sure it's too late for the next couple maps planned (although it's not like it hasn't been suggested before, myself included): Please can you start adding new maps to existing realms.

With BBQ and WGLF having lost their substantial bloodpoint bonuses last year, and now continuing the trend with Prove Thyself, I think the way we earn Bloodpoint needs to be re-evaluated. While these changes are the right course, they also provided something beyond merely inflating bloodpoint gains; they gave players a secondary objective to strive for in order to boost their bloodpoints, which7 comments 131 views last activity

The problem is that since 'special items' have their own category, there is zero downside to grabbing an EMP pre-emptively, as soon as one is available. This gives the printer time to ready a new one, so by the time you've had to use your current EMP, another one is immediately available. I have not yet failed to have constant access to EMPs, and I have not successfully ported to a survivor beca2 comments 51 views last activity

Once again I have a Dangerous outpost, it ran all night as Dangerous, it was Dangerous in the morning, I load into it and it's still Dangerous. Then I place down a single Prop and it changes to Brutal. Removing the Prop does not revert it to Dangerous. The outpost is under no circumstances difficult, if it's in Brutal then not only does it get no raids, but what few it gets are going to be 0 ki2 comments 51 views last activity

So the last patch increased Synthite gains by around 100-200%, nearly triple the amount. I've gone from struggling to maintain a balance of around 1000 Synthite at any given time, to having in excess of 9000 Synthite in just a couple of days.

Anyone else watch some of the replays of raids on their outposts, and wonder if the raider is just an NPC? Maybe some people find this fun, but I see so many plays just follow the HRV, like right behind him, in single file, inching forward a bit at a time. Then there's the replays of my "non linear" outposts. In which my HRV takes a long meandering path through several 'encounters', but the rai7 comments 181 views last activity

I've seen a couple of these crop up since someone made a youtube video about it. It's just a whole load of exploding impalers, you hit one and they all go off like a chain of dominoes. This is followed by a suicide booth to give the builder a kill for their troubles. I'm here to tell you they don't work. You get the 20 exp from the first impaler you hit, and that's it.

It would be nice to break up the monotony a little by having different options for the music that plays in your outpost for raiders. Even a handful of preset options would be neat, like 3 to 5 'soundtracks' that feature 2 or 3 different tracks based on the 'intensity' of the gameplay.0 comments 1 views last activity

If you toggle the range indicator on a trap while in build mode, then exit the outpost, the indicator is displayed in the thumbnail for every prospective raider to see exactly where that trap is. Maybe not an issue for most traps but definitely for those near the entrance.2 comments 21 views last activity

Just a few random ideas I wanted to note down, in case anyone else likes them. Silent Activation (generic trap mod excl. holocubes and acid cubes) - 30 Capacity Reduces the volume of the warning activation by 75%, and delays the on screen notification by 0.25s.

I realise this might be a tad ambitious, and probably something for several years down the line when and if MYM is a huge success. But it would be pretty neat to have a companion app that I could use to track stats on my outposts, see when they get kills, when they expire (particularly useful if you want to use Overdrive), etc.5 comments 11 views last activity

It would be neat to be able to queue up into a random lobby with another player for raiding as a duo. This could make it a little fairer for the single/duo divide so that builders can have duo's in mind when they build their outposts, with single runs still available for those who want a challenge. I also feel like the game would probable see more longevity as a real multiplayer experience, bec0 comments 11 views last activity

By no means the first Xenomorph concept, but from what I’ve seen I think it’s the first Xenomorph concept that’s as unique as this. (mentioned in a recent topic, but I thought I'd refine it a bit and post it in it's entirety) Rather than spawning in as a fully grown Xenomorph, you spawn at the very beginning of the Xenomorph lifecycle, and have to progress through each stage, almost like Myers t0 comments 61 views last activity

What's the counter to camping? It's "just do gens". And while that's in quotations, yes I'm serious. Every other 'penalty' for camping has been something that survivors can abuse and use offensively against lower skilled killers, and it's simply a fact that ' sometimes ' camping and tunnelling is justified. Those times may be the exception, but they need to be possible. So how do you make camp13 comments 241 views last activity

This is just to express a fairly simply idea for a healthy mechanism for a killer perk, one that could be used for a range of killer perks. The exact effect this would give isn't important, it could be increased regression, increased movement speed, it could activate exposed or incapacitated or whatever. The point here is how the effect is applied. When a survivor is hooked for the first time9 comments 131 views last activity

...matchmaking will still struggle to work effectively. Saturday evening peak times, are, the, worst. I'm not a top tier killer, I'd imagine my MMR is high-medium, but not low-high, if that makes sense. Mostly because I generally don't kill everyone, I give hatch, I even occasionally let 2-3 survivors escape if I've had a good game where I've 2-hooked everyone and maxed out a few BP categories.12 comments 341 views last activity

Blight Serum, while a little niche and maybe not worth using on most killers, is certainly a fun addition, even if it's only available during Halloween. I really wish there were more things like this. One thing that could work well, and compliment the Halloween atmosphere, would be a way to replicate Dredge's Nightfall. Perhaps something like: Ottomarian Scroll If used with The Dredge ,1 comments 51 views last activity

Platform: PS5 Description: When stomping a pumpkin as Dredge, I get frozen in place for about a second or so after completing the action. It was a little hard to tell at first because Dredge has slightly different animation timing to most other killers when kicking gens/pallets and stomping out boons/pumpkins, but after comparing with other killers it definitely takes longer and is very jarring.0 comments 11 views last activity

Climb down from your towers of glee for one moment survivor mains and consider the reality of these changes. Basekit Unbreakable is not being implemented to "prevent slugging for the 4K", it is being proposed purely because the new Mori changes for the Last Standing mechanic would be broken without it. It in fact only promotes slugging for the 4K , because of the Mori changes. Killers are now13 comments 462 views last activity

I've made several comments about how I think these proposed changes are godawful, but simply complaining doesn't get you anywhere, so I thought of an alternative or middle ground I'd be happy with.

I've always found it odd that we have two classes of items that (now at least) only exist to track auras. So why couldn't these functions be combined into one item class that's used to track auras, using add-ons to determine what additional objectives are tracked?

One common, major complaint regarding balancing, which is surely giving the devs a constant headache with every patch they release, is how oppressive things like repair slowdown, regression, or repair and healing speed buffs can be when stack together.

Yes I know everyone is having their say, but I just find the changes incredulous and haven't seen anyone put it into words I feel sum up my feelings yet.

Just a snapshot of the 5 games I've had today as Dredge (main), which alone is just a small sample of anecdotal information, but I think it pretty much sums up my overall experience since the patch.

When can we finally get over the idea that survivors should have the tools to ‘prevent’ camping and tunnelling? Things like BT, DS and OtR are great and all, but they don’t prevent camping and tunnelling, they merely aggravate the killers that do. That’s not a counter or a preventative measure, it’s an aggressive arms race. Who can wield the bigger stick? They don’t stop tunnelling, because31 comments 451 views last activity

With so many new killers out after 6 years, each one bringing something new to the table, you kinda have to wonder if the older killers are the best they could be.

Can we just recognise an incredibly odd design flaw for a minute? Make Your Choice Now, arguably one of the healthiest and most toxic perks in the game. In theory, it's anti-camp (you can't trigger it if you're near the hook) and anti-tunnel (you only get value if you don't tunnel), so it should be the healthiest perk in the game right?

Raising the BP category caps from 8k to 10k is great, but it raises an issue. The Survival and Sacrifice categories are notoriously stingy when it comes to what actions provide BP score events for these, pretty much being tailored specifically to optimal performance plus escaping, or getting 10+ hooks and a 4K. Those extra 2,000 BP are going to be very difficult to obtain. BBQ and WGLF's BP bon7 comments 111 views last activity

With several causes for concern over BP gains from the new system coming in 6.1.0, most believing that they won't be receiving as much BP due to a lack of BBQ/WGLF bonuses, or due to the new prestige system resetting bloodweb levels and resulting in fewer rare/very-rare nodes including Bloody Party Streamers, etc. It seems like it's time to dredge up the idea of improving the efficacy of BP offer1 comments 91 views last activity

However, these perks are losing something substantial by removing the incentive to spread out your hooks and rescues/protection hits. I think it would still be a good idea to retain a minor BP bonus on these perks, similar to Prove Thyself, Agitation, Thrill of the Hunt, etc. These all apply category specific BP bonuses before the scores are tallied, which means these bonuses can't exceed the 8,6 comments 71 views last activity

Based on how the new prestige system will unlock perk tiers, and how it's been described by a couple different devs, we know the following: Prestiging a character at level 50 will unlock their perks as teachables (for all characters in that role) instead of learning them at levels 30/35/40.

It's now widely regarded that Onryo is a weak killer.
