  • The poll is outdated. I'm curious what people think these days. Mine is the Princess, Hag. I love her because I love predicting the paths the survivors will run to not only escape me but to complete their objectives. Plus her mori is one of the best in the game, she can tea-bag obnoxious survivors, and has some really fun add-on combos. (Ever ran into a hag running shackles and grandma's he

  • As a killer main, I like the new DS changes, on paper. However, 1 minute after unhook is a rather long time. that gives the survivor time to heal, and do a chunk of nearby gen, and STILL get the DS proc. And it does encourage slugging, which isn't fun for survivors I hear. I'de drop the timer to 30,35,40 seconds and make it last until put down. Meaning it will stay active if slugged. This s

  • The hag doesn't need much. She doesn't need perks, or add-ons to work at rank 1. But what she does need, is cosmetics that don't dress her up as the most boring part of a hamburger. Huntress, nurse and doctor have gotten plenty of outfits lately. But what about Princess Lisa?

  • I see your hotfix, very nice. One of the unvaultable windows on badham fixed. That's a very needed fix. Now, how about the hook in front of the house that traps the killer in it when they hook a survivor? How about that stairwell to the boiler area of the school that catches killers when they run up it? (this one has been around since i started playing, and hasn't been fixed) And since

  • We have most of the other tropes. We got masked men, Ghost's and spirits, and cornfields....More cornfields then there were cornfield movies. But no cheerleaders? I personally can't wait to see Kate with pom-poms and David in a cheer-outfit.

  • Some might not know this, but BHVR lost a large lawsuit this month against Bethesda, over using source code from Fallout Shelter in another mobile game they made for another publisher. I'm wondering how this might effect this game we all love. This could have far reaching ripples in our little pond. For example, BHVR is currently trying to renegotiate deals for cosmetics on DLC killers that ar

  • Most of us say it. "There's really no point in getting rank 1, you don't get anything." But that isn't completely true. Think about the first time you hit rank 1 (or even 5) and that achievement popped up. It felt great. And it was on the front page of my steam profile, showing everyone what i achieved. When i hit rank 1 killer, the next time i jumped into a group with my SWF, I immediately w

  • It's more then a couple things. It's not just the myriad of bugs breaking gameplay. It's also the zeitgeist of the playerbase. Here, I will explain, but it will take me a moment. Right now there's a host of bugs scurrying around the killers feet. They are making it really hard to hear the survivors you're hunting. And when 2 out of 3 of your favorite killers hunt by sound most of the time, tha

  • The killer is pretty self explanatory. The archetypical crazy child killer. Play with me has 2 powers. Passive: If The Child has not been in a chase for (30) seconds then generators being worked on will fail all skill checks automatically. But will not alert the killer. While this is active, an icon of an angry child will appear on survivors screens. Active: Activating Play with me creat

  • It would be about 1/4 of a map, with a few jungle gyms and pallet loops thrown in there. You would load in a killer or survivor of your choice, and practice their mechanics. No bots, maybe a generator that only does skillchecks but never finishes. This would let the lower skill people practice. Tired of failing skillchecks? Go practice on the broken gen. Tired of being put down in 15 se

I had Enduring and Spirit Fury (prepped and ready) I pick up my victim and the other victim comes around the corner and hits me with the pallet. But I don't drop the victim on my shoulder. My guess is that they hit me during the pickup animation, a

He has 2 purples that make his frenzy 3 hit, without the need to break chase. ( Franks tape and stab wound survey. Franks tape makes the whole meter about 75% of what it would normally be, even if you don't see it. And Stab Wounds Survey makes your frenzy hits do significa

And that seems to be what everyone believes. What's wrong with BHVR? This is a big drop. One they announced at the game awards. But with 0 information on when it would be available. Add into it

  • I love Huntress' Lullaby. And I run it in most games that i take serious. The problem with the perk though. is that it progressively gets stronger, until it gets weaker. Once you have 2-4 stacks on it, it messes with survivors muscle reflexes. They've trained themselves how to react to a skillchecks, and this messes with it. But then you hit 5 stacks, and that goes away. The warning they are r

  • In the recent Devblog the devs said that if players are just interested in killing people, we will play nurse or billy and that's all. As well as stating, again, this game isn't competitive.. The thing is, you designed a game where the ONLY way to play it, is ranked. Yes, i can play Kill my friends, but I don't get any progression and it requires having friends. So that, in itself creates an

  • I never really took note of this, until the other day when i played for a few hours, and almost every single game was a corn field. (If i remember right, i played for 3ish hours and only 1 map wasn't a corn field. and about 13 were cornfields. Not joking) So i got mad. I was like "why do I keep getting this ######### map!" so I go and look at the map lists. And there's 5 of them. I know (now)

  • I notice this mostly with SWF. You'll start chasing their buddy, and someone on the other side of the map starts running in and out of a locker so their friend has a better chance of stealthing you (it's really hard to use sounds when all you can hear is the sound que) While this is more annoying then anything. It is an obvious abuse of the code. I really wish they would change this. Maybe b

Many (if not most) other companies would be charging us real money for these cosmetics. I just wanted to say, keep it up. I think it helps some of us pay for the new chapters, knowing we have some sort of progression to work fo

  • Your game is growing. You have an active playerbase that's hungry for your lore. They are dissecting what you've given them in hopes of finding more. I think it's time you hired a writer. The survivor lores tend to leave something to be desired. Some are long and detailed, and others are short and vague. Your Blight event was great, people loved the lore...But it was lacking.

  • DBD is missing it's own brand of the Smoker from LFD. So i give you The Cowboy. Heartbeat: Spurs Jingling louder and louder Power: Bullwhip (or Lasso) The cowboy uses his whip (or Lasso) to grab a survivor by the throat (or around the body) and prevents them from leaving the abilities range until they can struggle free. The survivor can still dodge attacks if they stay within the range.

The pig can carry 4 reverse bear traps. That's bear traps that have been modified with locks (man the trapper must be jealous of that) and a timer among other things.

Keep in mind, I'm not far behind him, just a little bit out of lunge range. So this guy has all this adrenaline from running for his life, is drunk, essentially, and he can shove a key into a keyhole at his feet in less then a second. I can'

  • It feels weird that killers lose points for survivors healing. If I am forcing altruism, they aren't doing generators. This gives me more time to hook. There are even perks to help force survivors to heal. So you have a play style that you are are punishing. Seems odd. And you can lose a sizable chunk of points this way. Enough for it to be a pip. In fact, if you don't tunnel someone out of t

  • This mechanic seems kinda useless. It's not that hard to follow a blood trail normally. It also doesn't make a whole lot of sense. This human being is profusely losing blood, and suffering no ill effects. I think when a survivor is hemorrhaging one of two things should happen. 1: (the less op answer) Make it slow all actions speeds until healed. 2: (The more realistic answer) Put th

I chase a survivor to a loop, and my pathing wasn't great so they start infinite looping me. My roomate sees this and starts to play "pop goes the weasel" on his phone. I laughed so hard they escaped.

  • This would likely be much easier to do for survivors then for killers. But there are ways to do it for the killers too. It would be nice if there was a pool of universal cosmetics. For the survivors it would be jeans, shirts, skirts, dresses (Dwight in a dress!) They could start basic, but be expanded over times easilly. And this would allow for much more "fashion choice" so to speak. it's ni

  • I'de like for there to be a before game chat, where I, the killer, can say hello to the survivors. I think this is a good idea for a variety of reasons that include but are not limited to: It passes time: It can take a while to find a game. And it can take even longer if the survivors that join the lobby get board waiting for that last person, and then leave. Talking passes time. Reducti

  • Roaching is what I'm calling it. There's probably a more known term for this. But I'm talking about when you kick a generator to start regression, which takes a few seconds for the killer, and then a hidden survivor simply taps the gen, and stops it from regressing. Considering how much time it takes a killer to start that regression, and considering how little it actually regress', this me
