While there are add-ons and effects in specific builds that we may or may not want to look at, that's not what I want to discuss in this thread... one of the things that irks me about Survivor items is their base line effects for their rarity and the add-ons available to them in a lot of cases makes little sense. Almost every single set of survivor items (with the exception of flashlights), is a3 comments 141 views last activity

I am sad to see Skull Merchant 2.0 given up on, but after taking some time to accept it, I am a little more optimistic. The new drones made me think of a relatively unknown gem of a game called Receiver, a game that gave you a gun and a bunch of tapes to find. There were drones that flew at you kamikaze style and tried to kill you, and they were quite intimidating (the gun was hyper realistic a1 comments 61 views last activity

Gallows Humour (Survivor) Even in the most dire situations, you can still find the courage to cling on. Whenever you hooked you gain the following effects: - Your last hope unhook detection range for the killer is increased by 4m. For every 10% that your last hope unhook meter progresses, your summon/sacrifice timer is paused for 4 seconds. "… No... it's fine... *cough*... I've got him16 comments 212 views last activity

So while I was away we got a preview of Skull Merchant's rework... and not just the new direction, but the community reaction/feedback left me rather unsettled and deeply saddened.

Hello all! I'm back from my ban... and a lot has been going on since my departure eh? 😅 The Ghoul is a hot topic, and there is a lot of anger surrounding him, and I thought I'd throw my take in the ring.... Far as I see it, and what I can gleam from discussions that most people seem agree with, is ultimately his issue is his skill floor is too low for the amount of strength he has.

I've suggested this before, but with the PTB changing Hillbilly to 40m, the Counterweight add-on (70% less turn speed) is even more garbage that it is already.... you don't learn Hillbilly with this add-on... and it makes you just unable to play the character... it's trash in every way. I would like to replace it with: Tarnished Muffler Disables Overdrive ability Reduces Terror Radius by 8m3 comments 81 views last activity

Knock Out doesn't fit as a name at all anymore, and I was struggling for a concept to rename it… Any ideas to fit this new perk? Preferably with some TCM flavour?

Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the first episode of the Ill Deserved Confidence series! In an age where the word "meta" darkens every corridor, where heavily encumbered sweat bands are the status quo and every new perk added with any kind of nuance is written off as useless; the quest to find quirky and interesting builds is now more enjoyable than ever.3 comments 132 views last activity

Let me take you on a journey of heartbreak dear reader... Background So as some background... I am somewhat of a DBD scientist myself... I look for alternative/weird methods of making perks and items work. As an example a build I'm quite proud of: Engineers Toolbox (purple 100% repair speed one) Instructions (no skillchecks) and Wire Spool (12 extra charges) add-ons.

Based on some truly excellent and insightful points raised in this thread: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/437438/wake-up-nerf I don't disagree with the attempt to make Wake Up stand out for Sole Survivor as a more altruistic perk... it fits the character and it makes sense from game design to not just stack the 2 on top of each other.

Posted this elsewhere, but let's actually highlight how 8.4.1 could actually work. So to dicuss Chucky configurations between 8.4.0 and 8.4.1. There are pros and con, however while there are a lot of small positives to the idea of his 8.4.1 changes... the reality is Chucky has been badly neutered with these changes where the negative vastly outweighs the positive...

SBMM is a worthwhile additon to the game, but it's one problem is it's far too simple. For Killer it at least requires you to be competant to 4k, but it does encourage strategies that require you to kill at any cost, rather than make a game of it (and feed fear to the entity), and often it's more a measure of how sweaty you play rather than how skilful you play. For Survivor however often it12 comments 161 views last activity

So here is an idea I thought I'd run past you guys in the forums... Boil Over is a perk I fundamentally dislike for numerous reasons: - Survivor: It rarely works, 95% of games the perk does literally nothing. Both sides: It's prone to being and often is exploited to make a survivor unhookable on certain maps, so some players will ise this fact to just try to troll the killer all game instead7 comments 111 views last activity

Wait! I know what you're gonna say! "Lightborn is fine!", but please hear me out! I already posted this in @jesterkind s discussion, but I felt it was a good enough suggestion to warrant it's own thread. To cut to the chase, Lightborn's hard counter nature makes it very uninteractive. Hard counters are never healthy game design, and while not strong and can't really be nerfed, it is not great4 comments 202 views last activity

Preamble So Knockout is not a very good perk... it's only decent on a handful of killers and even then for a niche slugging strategies... and heavily countered by comms most of the time... however for SoloQ the slugging strategies are pretty obnoxious and unenjoyable for the survivor team. This leaves Knockout in a place where it mostly sucks against any comms tean, and only tends to get used3 comments 91 views last activity

Preamble One of my favourite subtle and lesser known effects in DBD is the tertiary effect of Balanced Landing, where when you fall from height, you do so without screaming (the first being the haste boost, and second being the reduced stagger). This not screaming effect is pretty cool as you can drop out of sight of the killer, without giving away the fact you've done so…. however as far as3 comments 161 views last activity

I like using Whispers, it is pretty unique and interesting for builds, and what is nice about it is the fact it is unconditional/uncounterable.

There have numerous threads on this, but there has been this niggling doubt between what the split of players is at any given times, meaning no one is 100% sure... and I've finally got a session where it was quite undeniable that the BP incentives are broken for Killer. https://youtu.be/IwUQX4BnTOg?si=ouUAmcF0tEqyg16m I've made a bug report on it!

One of the big issues of Hexes is there are a number of them that are lit at the start of the trial. Often you have to take multiple hexes to make them work/defend them, but that also increases the odds of survivors fiinding a hex at the start of the trial and then being aware to look out for hexes. It would be greatly helpful if hexes only lit up when their effects are triggered, or when they10 comments 152 views last activity

Sometimes its quite easy to come up with ideas for buffing bad perks. You can see what they're trying to do, increase the effects, add additional benefits, etc, etc...

Since this perk is such a common talking point right now, I think it's a good time to Maurice-skin up some QoL talking points about this perk from yesteryear that went nowhere. I suspect TotH is going to get nerfed so I'm not going to ask for Counterforce buffs or reworks (at least not to tackle TotH)... but... Why is this perk not a token perk?

The new buff to Thrill of the Hunt is all of the rage right now, and while I agree Hexes could do with some help (maybe even make people use maps more), this Hex with Hexes like Devour Hope is very strong to the point of being quite oppressive, particularly on high mobility killers.

As we all know, 2v8 has a comeback mechanic built into it, where: - Whenever a generator is completed, all survivors suffer a 5% repair speed penalty. Whenever a survivor is hooked, all survivors gain a 2.5% repair speed bonus.

I am making threads to buff keys and make them better for hatch, and those changes I am proposing makes Left Behind a little obsolete. However regardless of whether or not those changes come to fruition, Left Behind could still use a buff, and with the big concern nowadays being slugging for the 4k, Left Behind can fill this role.

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When playing 2vs8, if you have a challenge selected for killing survivors by any means, sacrificing a survivor via a cage doesn't count towards the challenge.

A Great Change The last round of changes to reduce his ability to tunnel and score a free hit via hindered if he sucked at chase/using his power was a great change. A Wesker who comes back to hooks should have to actually be good if he wants to tunnel and shouldn't realistically expect a hit to come for free if he waits long enough.

So while talking about the prevalence of 4k slugging, this suggestion is not new: Make the Finisher Mori an incentive not to slug via only unlocking if the 4th survivor is not in the dying state when the 3rd survivor dies.

To get to the point quickly, the problem of Slugging is actually quite simple... A slugged player loses all player agency. There is a principle held in all game design, be it board games, video games or even playground games. You should never take away players agency. This is why snakes and ladders, tic tac toe and other games like it are bad games... there is no player agency; there are often36 comments 672 views last activity
