https://youtu.be/g1lsSyVLBpg?si=pKR8INweNZeyW476 I got recommended this video on YouTube and although none of the information in that video was new to me, it does put things into perspective when you do such a side by side comparison between instant regression and regression over time.

Freddy, oh Freddy, what do you see? Chasing shadows in dreams, another futile spree. You reach for Claudette, but she's always ahead, while sneaky Jane hides with Head On in a closet.

I haven't played a whole lot of DBD recently so I don't know what exactly was changed and when but I can say, that I am finally able to track scratch marks again. They no longer seem to disappear randomly and they also don't blend in anymore, which makes playing killer feel so much better. Thank you, devs.1 comments 31 views last activity

I want to start this by saying, that I do not mean to insult or belittle anyone and I hope my words will be understood in the way I mean them. The devs don't have an easy job and most of us probably have very little experience when it comes to coding and managing a game with as many mechanics as Dead By Daylight. They also managed to somehow keep this game alive for nearly 8 years, which deserves7 comments 291 views last activity

Now, I'm not mad it happened (though it's weird when it happens 3 times in 1 game with my ping being fine) but lately I've seen a lot more instances of hit validation. Especially on Huntress. I try to go for long distance shots and sometimes I hear and even see the hatchet connect but they don't lose a health state. There have also been some instances on windows where I think I'd get the hit nor6 comments 131 views last activity

As you all know, slugging for the 4k isn't exactly fun to play against. You just lie there on the ground and wait for something to happen without the threat of dying or coming close to it in 60 seconds. But at least it's not something the killer will do every game and it's also not something they'll be able to use as a means to win games consistently. Well, let me introduce you to Knock Out:9 comments 202 views last activity

We have long since debated how strong or weak killers are. We have had debates about how evil or nice they are but we haven't really answered the most important question. If all the killers in DBD were to participate in an armwrestling contest, who would win?

I'm at a loss. 3 years worth of experience and a few thousand hours in the game and I'm honestly at a loss. I really have no clue how to deal with this. I've been playing a lot of Freddy over the past couple days and I noticed a trend. Survivors will just keep on holding Shift + W against me and use exhaustion perks that end chases before they even began. I tried mind gaming with the teleport, I17 comments 432 views last activity

Hello there. What are some things that grind your gears in DBD? I don't mean anything horribly unbalanced but more like some slight annoyances. For me it's: Dumb Techs with Lithe. Not a major problem or something that desperately has to be fixed but man does it feel bad when Dumb Techs are actually viable. 😂 Facing the same killer 3 times in a row. Yeah, I get it.

I apologise in advance, that this will be quite a wall of text even for my standards. 😥 MMR was introduced to DBD around 2 1/2 years ago iirc. Since then, the devs have made some adjustments and now it is rarely brought up in discussions anymore. I remember at the time it was introduced, I absolutely hated it.

With the upcoming buff to DS we are going to experience a higher pick rate of this perk. This will also lead to more players using it the way OTR was used right after the buff. We have seen this exact issue before, so this is not a theory but a fact. There have been arguments about whether or not to fix these issues and how effective the aggressive use of these perks is. However, the existing an3 comments 51 views last activity

I know that this is technically a suggestion but I would like to focus on discussing it and see how my idea could be improved, so I'd very appreciate, if the mods don't move it to Feedback And Suggestions.

PC. I played 2 matches as the Twins and in the second one (map was Mother's Dwelling), after about a minute (I think it was after the first time Victor died by a kick) whenever I played as Charlotte, her movement became laggy and she started to rubberband. This only got worse when I pressed buttons other than "W". It was not ping related but it kept on for the entire match. However, when I was c0 comments 61 views last activity

Since the event started I have won exactly one game as a killer because someone felt the need to suicide on first hook (and I still barely managed to get a 3k). 22 of my killer matches were losses and I got 3 draws. And it's not just that I lost these games. In almost all of them, the survivors refused to finish the last gen for a good 3 minutes. But of course, if I go afk because they refuse to40 comments 821 views last activity

How have your matches been since the event started? Mine have been pretty terrible. It might just be me playing worse than usual but I'm currently on a 17 loss streak across different killers, escaped only 1 of 7 solo queue matches I played and struggle with the event visuals. So my matches have not been very enjoyable overall. Also, why does everything have to be red? It's like every map got th32 comments 631 views last activity

Upon reading lots of different posts that claimed, that high prestige survivors were tunneled or lobby dodged, I made a discussion to ask how bad this issue really is. I personally don't understand why high prestige would make a difference to some people because you could just as well play a character for thousands of hours without leveling them. https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-da7 comments 71 views last activity

I have read many times that survivors do not want their prestige to be revealed in the pre game lobby. The reasoning behind it is that killers seem to tunnel P100 survivors quite frequently. I personally don't have a P100 survivor, so I cannot speak on this. However, it seems unintuitive to me because we also have people dodge lobbies with P100 survivors. This would imply that some killer player50 comments 1,321 views last activity

It's no secret that many of us would like to see some more solo queue improvements. However, it's not as simple as "just buff solo queue". What would you buff, that only helps in solo queue?

In case you have missed the latest dev update, BHVR have decided to buff (nerf) the Pig. The idea is to make her chase power, the ambush, a bit better and compensate for that by nerfing the traps (RBTs). However, the buff to her ambush is minimal. They applied the following changes: Increased Ambush duration to 2.3 seconds (was 2 seconds) Decreased Ambush successful attack cooldown to 2.762 comments 1,025 views last activity

There have been a lot of debates over the years how to help solo queue survivors and bring them closer to a SWF. While the gap can never be fully bridged it can definitely be mitigated. One option for that is a voice chat. However voice chats can easily have the opposite effect and make solo queue even worse.

I'm not overly surprised that Hillbilly got some changes again but I'll be honest, the nerfed recovery doesn't feel great. Could we try it with 2.0 m/s first? That is about 1 second more that it would take the killer to catch up after the recovery, which allows that survivor to cover 4 metres of ground more than before. I feel like this would be enough and it would make him feel a bit nicer. The3 comments 151 views last activity

The purpose of this thread is not to shame BHVR or anyone else in any way. This is just a post with a few things I've noticed about DBD and things that happened in the past. What do you do with this information? Absolutely nothing. 1) Out of the 34 killers, there are 3 that have been reworked twice. Hillbilly, Sadako and Skull Merchant. 2) Freddy is the only killer to be countered by Adrenaline26 comments 2,334 views last activity

With the dev update out, I wanted to see what kind of changes would be made from the PTB especially in regards to Sadako, Blight and the Hillbilly. Sadako I understand, that her PTB version with locked in condemned did promote tunneling and that this is not what we want. However, this change is pretty terrible because it only promotes slugging even more. Think about it: If you hook someone twic13 comments 383 views last activity

then what would happen if we buffed him? I'm sure you've all seen the nerfs to Blight's addons on the PTB (if not, go and check it out) and I think we have been pretty clear about what we think of this. So this isn't a thread to shame the devs but to joke about how we could buff poor Blight to help him out a little. I'll go first: I think he should get15 comments 881 views last activity

With the announcement of the Hillbilly update in january, many players were quite happy. There have been a lot of suggestions of what should be done. From removing the overheat to just an addon pass and even some pretty big changes, everything has been suggested. But no amount of buffs or nerfs will really help this killer, if his main issue remains. This has been an issue since the dawn of time1 comments 91 views last activity

When Chucky was released, I was positively surprised. I wasn't really excited beforehand but when I played him, he was pretty fun. His power offered something to mess with survivors and a fun and powerful attack that could work around many loops in the game. Now they limited his max turn to 90° and pretty much killed what made Slice & Dice good. But I am less upset about Chucky being weaker0 comments 41 views last activity

Every once in a while I'll try to come up with some kind of theme for what killer, perks, addons and play style I want to use.

I only saw little glimpses of it before. Now I actually got to suffer through this atrocity and it's even worse than before the rework. The few weak pallets on that map were replaced with some that are just stupidly strong and the main building is almost the same as before (so still broken). Does anyone think the map has actually improved?7 comments 121 views last activity

I've been enjoying Chucky for a couple games now but I have one big issue, not with Chucky but with scratch marks. They are incredibly hard to see as of late. There have been quite a few changes over the years and it was discussed before but I can't accept one of the core game tracking mechanics not working sufficiently.

Shortly after Chucky was announced to come into the entity's realm I said I wasn't looking forward to him. That had little to do with me not wanting a new killer but with me not being interested in the license. I watched the first Child's Play film a few years back and to me it was more goofy than anything else.

Many of us have spent quite a lot of time in this game and in that time we have seen our fair share of things to remember. Like the first time we got steamrolled by a comp Nurse or (in my case) a Spirit.

As some of you have already seen, Freddy got yet another nerf on the PTB. Now, don't get me wrong. If something is not working as intended, then it is understandable that BHVR fix the issue. However, in Freddy's case we are talking about something that made little difference and only made him a bit nicer to play. A while ago I mentioned how extremely punishing Freddy is.

If you had the choice to change one thing about the game, disregarding balance, what would it be? I'll go first. When I started playing I remember the old Coldwind maps being my favorites.

BHVR, you have truly done an amazing job with the visuals of the Void! I just saw it for the first time in a stream and I'm in awe. This is what your maps could look like.

Question is in the title. Honestly, I see no reason why the killer shouldn't be allowed to see the hook stages. It wouldn't really make tunneling easier but it might help killers, who want to go for as many hooks as possible. I personally don't have a lot of trouble counting hook stages but I did experiment with it before and made a point out of not counting and the results were an average of82 comments 2,082 views last activity

Greetings, people of the fog. It is no secret that BHVR have adjusted scratch marks quite a few times and there have been a lot of people talking about how these changes made scratch marks pretty hard to see.

Yesterday I had a match on Eyrie of Crows as Bubba. I played pretty chill (no slugging, camping or deliberate tunneling) and got to 6 hooks pretty quick. Then I stumbled upon one survivor that was dead on hook. I pretended, that I lost them before hitting them with the chainsaw and hooking them. They died at 7 hooks.

The backpack build is toxic! I was doing the archive to carry survivors 180 metres far and then this happened: Kate later wrote: "Shame on you." because I was using this build. A bit hypocritical when she was the one that actually disconnected from the match but I guess someone as toxic as me shouldn't complain. 😉 I'd say this SWF got a bit unlucky.

First off, this is not meant to insult anyone. If you are a P100 Feng then that's good for you. Don't take this too serious. I'm not sure why but whenever I have a P100 Feng in one of my lobbies I pretty much know how the game is going to go. The killer will find a survivor, down and hook them, then the P100 Feng gets caught immediately and they suicide on the hook. Is it just me or is it alway7 comments 291 views last activity

I just watched a video of someone playing on old Haddonfield. I hated it back then but for some reason I want this horrible map back. I don't know why but I somehow preferred it over the new one.

PC In a match as the Hillbilly on Ironworks of Misery today I encountered an issue with chase detection. Throughout the entire game I did not start a single chase.

How would you feel, if BHVR added some small special interactions for killers on their own maps or even selected maps in general? Nothing too crazy. More like, if Myers downs you on Haddonfield in Myers house and you were already hooked twice, he can mori you without the offering (maybe only in end game, so it doesn't counter DS).

In their latest patch BHVR changed something about fast vaults. In the patch notes it said that survivors were not getting the extra distance for a fast vault compared to medium and slow vaults. If that was an issue, then it's good that they fixed it. I didn't witness any problems there, although admittedly I didn't play DBD for about 2 weeks.

After more than 2k hours in the game, I'm a bit bored playing like I always do. So I decided to challenge myself and try to stack as many things as possible against me.
