I agree, problem is as you mentioned is the footsteps. The heartbeat visual doesn't work on stealth killers, so you really can't tell. That is why I tried to design a perk to help with that. A visual perk like a survivor version of Whispers.

Well, stealth killers are supposed to be stealthy. Why would you take that away? Also if you can hear a killer in any way, the heartbeat is a small red whirl, if it's in the terror radius, it's a heartbeat

I've been playing the game a long time now but I've always been more of a survivor main. When I do play killer I tend to use ones that are relatively simple to control but every now and again I'll try and improve on a killer I don't use (mostly for trophy hunting) yet no matter what I find it so hard to blink to where I want to as the Nurse. Even in custom to practice with the add on that shows blink target location, I still found it extremely difficult to land hits against bots. Sometimes I'll enter fatigue before I can even chain the blink.
I've looked up guides etc but here I am, still awful. Never going to be a Nurse main. Props to you that are good with her (especially using controller)

Bots are notoriously hard to mindgame. Idk how they are nerfed these days but when they first came they just always saw the killer aura to make it easier for them to react. This included stealth killers, so back then you weren't able to sneak even close with a myers. And even then you cannot mindgame an AI

For Killer indication we have visual heartbeat in the settings for quite a while now. But generally it's tough to design the game to fully include deaf people, like you cannot hear footsteps either, but those can help locate a survivor. Where is the line drawn? Because if you visualize everything that can become important you get an overload in visuals. The one thing I'd like to have that was somewhat in DbD mobile is a visual skillcheck indicator, where you saw the "pling" that comes when a skillcheck is about to happen, by the screen border blinking or something like that

in Propinquity (Free Survivor perk designed for the deaf). Comment by Dipper September 27, 2026

Well, it's kinda the purpose to not be aware of survivors nearby when you hook someone, else BBQ would show the aura from everyone, but it has a 40m exclusion range. So it just makes sense that Whispers is useless near hooked survivors too

in the perk 'Whispers' can detect players on the hook. Comment by Dipper September 27, 2026

We may really need a quick play feature, chaos shuffle like, random loadout, but also random killer, plus you don't get to select killer. You press Quick Play and you either get a survivor role, or the killer role. Subsequent survivor games increase chance for being killer, after 4 times you have almost a guaranteed chance.

As it's just one way of playing, you most likely only have the people who don't care wether they play survivor or killer, Killer mains would just wait 15 minutes for their killer match, while in quick match you just have a 1/5 chance of getting killer, but there isn't a wait time attached to it because it fills lobbies by players, not by role. And we know more people look for killer than survivor, hence the long wait times

in I don't think it's gonna get better. Comment by Dipper September 27, 2026

I generally see the ability hard to balance out like that, either survivors know they are being aimed at, which gives Judgment an even harder time than she has already with aiming, or survivors don't know, which makes it "unfair" on their side again.
Overall aura reading could just be limited to 32-40 meters because of her range ability. She can still snipe generators at will and maybe get someone. Or if we talk about the aura of generators, they could disappear out of range and only light up for a second every 10 seconds. The being aimed at alert I could imagine if the line is straight. So she aims straight at a gen, instead of doing one of her angled shots, which are way harder to aim with. Like Judgment looks straight towards a gen and her beam is in that line of sight.

On the killer side
-Gates should be openable by killers after closing hatches
-Should be able to see hook totals on each survivor
-Should get the same bloodpoint multiplier as survivors due to the long wait times
-Multiple choices for each ability in the different classes to allow more customization
-Hex perks in classes
On the Survivor Side
-If you're being chased by both killers, exhaustion should be ignored on perks.
-Being unhooked should give 2 endurance hits within 30 seconds to help with tunneling
-Multiple choices for each ability in the different classes to allow more customization
-Totem perks in classes
In general
-There needs to be 4 exit gates
-There needs to be 4 hatches
-Hatches need to appear with 3 survivors left if there're 4 or more gens left
-Central gens should be priority gens that give more points for completing and for kicking
-More maps, bigger maps
-Better generator spread on maps:
The movie theater has 1/4 of the map without any gens on it
Police station has no generators out back by the one exit.

As it happened more and more in my matches, you should be able to self uncage, or at least have like a 20% chance to do so. Trying it doesn't reduce the hook timer but you can only try it once. Because I keep being teleported to the outermost farlands of the map, all survivors on the other side, noone bothering to rescue or just not being fast enough. Or you have 3 dead, 4 caged and one running around. The perfect moment for a Kobe.

I know it's hated by players, but one time they added survivor bots to the beginning, so Killer times reduced massively to like 10 minutes. Especially with 50 minute wait times, that's something I am fine with. Make it a checkbox (Fill lobby with bots) so wait time is shorter, but you aren't forced to play like that.

I agree with seeing hook states. I thought that was a thing before, but I guess it always only was in 1v4.

Hexes definitely, bringing boons on survivor side. Totems are useless for 9 iterations now. Maybe add more totem spots, like instead of 5 you have 10.
Hex class could be like pentimentio, reigniting your totem, no need for the totem to be broken. The question there would be what kind of hex or if it's a completely new one

Survivors should be penalized more for hiding. Maybe when there's 3 people left lockers make sounds when used, not just when fast jumped into or out of.

And obviously generally more classes, especially for Killer. Survivor has one class per item, but along with having custom items, there can be more. Like invocation salt in the boon class, nerfed to not unlock your unlockable skill, I'm totally fine with just 5% haste
As for killer, maybe classes that change killer abilities. Like a stalker class that works like Myers or Ghostface, a phase class that works like spirit, a wailing class that works like wraith, etc. Those classes being locked if either killer in the group already has this ability. But it could bring more diversive gameplay to killers and more surprises to. You know you play against trapper, but instead of traps he suddenly phases to you.

in 2V8 Needs a few changes Comment by Dipper September 27, 2026

Let's just start a community driven Forum as an alternative at this point. No matter how bad that turns out, at least it's not Reddit or Discord

in Future of Dead by Daylight Forums Comment by Dipper September 27, 2026

On Discord it is easy to just ban someone because you don't like their opinion. This has proofably happened before on multiple occasions. Not just the DbD discord specifically, Discord is well known to be prone to such things. Also the forum was openly available. You google something, a forum link appears. Now this won't be the case anymore.
Also Reddit is another black sheep, where Moderators too are known to be really abusive and banning people from participating because of opinions.
So all in all, Even if it may not be the intention, it inadvertibly makes the community's opinion more controlled and selective from a few people, who can easily just delete opinions they don't agree with

This could have been the beginning of global effect boons, just like hexes. If the boon is lit, every gen regresses 50% slower, not just the ones within reach.

@Toxicboii said:
While the changes over the years have certainly helped it be better, it's still terrible. Eventually, though, I think I kind of get the theming behind the perk. Let's refresh our memory with the effect and why it's bad.
The following effects apply permanently during the Trial:
Suffer from the Broken Status Effect.
Reduces the volume of Grunts of Pain while either in the Injured or the Dying State by 25/50/75%.
Increases your Recovery speed by 15/20/25%.
Unlocks the Self-Recovery ability, allowing you to fully recover from the Dying State.
Multiple problems.
1 - In trade for a health state, you're put into, effectively, a buffed injured state with no protections whatsoever.
2 - The killer can easily see you're running the perk, and simply put, would know not to slug you at any cost. It's one thing to anticipate an Unbreakable. It's another thing to know they can recover from dying every time.
3 - Any synergies it has are either buff the existing values (Iron Will / Tenacity / Unbreakable), reduce the risk of running it (Dead Hard / Information perks), or used to manually activate perks that activate whilst injured (This can't be happening / Resilience / Deadline). Which aren't that powerful, nor make it worth running.
And keep in mind, you're trading a health state in return for:
Essentially being in Healthy, but being one-downed (Think of always being exposed as a perk, that's basically what this is.)
Free Information to the killer that you counteract a playstyle that isn't always used
And remember that health states in this game are extremely powerful. Anything that grants an additional life, let alone for free has been historically nerfed repeatedly. So a perk that takes away a Health state in return for negligible upsides isn't a very good idea. All risk, no reward.
So, let's start brainstorming. For one, David King is portrayed as a reckless protector. Prone to picking fights, oftentimes ones he shouldn't pick, for the sake of protecting not just himself, but the people he cares about. "We're gonna live forever" is proof of that.
"No Mither" literally means "No care", or "Unbothered". The idea originally, is that in trade for a health state, you become more self-sufficient. Hence the Broken status effect, since you can't be bothered to let other people care about you. "You can handle yourself", basically, which fits David's schtick.
So, lean into that aspect by having it so that No Mither, at the cost of a health state, give you a self-regenerating health state.
Obviously, it'd have to be on a cool down whenever it triggers. Maybe making it so you always have the Endurance status effect, and only you can recover from deep wounds in trade for it taking longer than normal. Or have it work like Mettle of Man and just ignore the hit before going on a long cooldown.
Whatever it is, it must be slower than normal heal rates. If it's faster, or god forbid as fast, then we reach a problem where No Mither becomes meta, and suddenly hitting survivors offers no pressure whatsoever. Messing with health states is a delicate matter, one wrong move, and we'll be stuck with something horrifying.
Perks like "Moment of Glory" seem to fulfil the same concept, but the cost of Moment of Glory requiring you to search chests and avoid the killer long enough to heal a health state. So No Mither has to be a passive, more than anything to have it be unique.

At the VERY least it should change from broken to exposed to not straight up tell the killer you run it. Or you spawn healthy but as soon as you are injured in any way, you gain broken for the rest of the match

in No Mither needs a rework, or a buff, at the minimum. Here's what I think: Comment by Dipper September 15, 2026

Am I dumb, where does the perk state "permanent progress"?

Ok, it’s true that some maps gates really benefit killer. But it’s a lot more likely that they are far apart and benefit survivors. If it’s a map with far apart gates it’s just a guarantee win. At this point in the match, the killer has won and they found the hatch. Survivors don’t need ANOTHER last chance escape

The speed at which they progress could be calculated by their distance and pathfinding. The closer they are the faster they progress. So when you are at one of the original maps, where the Exit Gates can spawn basically next to each other (Had that on occasions), then they would open within 1.5-2 minutes. If they are distant like usually in Hawkins, they wouldn't progress at all because it takes the killer time to check either.
In open world they usually just need one spot to only move slightly or not at all to have both gates in view

Does CSGO let you spectate the other team after you die while the match is still ongoing?

It does in casual. Not in Ranked game modes. But it is so much more social

in Why is Killer Spectate still not a thing? Comment by Dipper July 21, 2026

I was in 2 friend groups throughout childhood and they came from CSGO but also got me into Dead by Daylight. I eventually stopped playing CS:GO with 700h, while I now have about 4500 in 10 years since the 15th for me. I never really got into any groups that played more than SWF. Noone was the Killer because the Killer was alone in a Multiplayer Game

The only thing this would cause is survivors giving callouts of killer perks and actions. Someone watching the killer wouldn't change the killer experience and make them feel their part of a group all of a sudden.

I just mean I made more friends to actually play KYF with in CSGO than in DbD and I started both at the same time 10 years ago with this game. And I realized how I never play KYF, always SoloQ

in Why is Killer Spectate still not a thing? Comment by Dipper July 21, 2026

But you only play customs with people you already know. You would never ask the killer to be your Steam Friend to play KYF together. The Killer is isolated in this game. You can spectate your other survivors, the game is advertized to be a multiplayer game, together with others, but the Killer is mostly alone. There is endgame chat, but that's after the matcvh when you spectated your TEAM, while you never spectated that one isolated 5th player in the group, who once hosted the game until 2019

The answer to this seems obvious: dead players can tell their teammates what the killer is doing. It's the same reason they can't even see the killers perks. This could only work with a playback option.

They gave like 500 free event currency because there was a bug in the start of the event that caused event currency not being saved. So some people lost all of it that they could get in the first quests. I lost maybe about 100 and I have 825 left currently. So without that I would have 325 currently.

Ah that makes sense then

This graphics rework looks a bit more complex than just higher graphics. Weather effects and all that being added in, would absolutely obliterate the current spaghetti code, when they can't even add a shirt without something going wrong. Something tells me they've been working on a brand new code and when this graphics overhaul/weather effects come in, it will probably replace the old code and allow them to implement all that new stuff with little to no problems. Along with expanding the game's capabilities.
But thats just a theory I have as it sounded like thats what they had in mind.

Well it's BHVR. There's a good chunk of chance that the graphics will be just as messy. The same company that less than a year ago showed that qa is spelt really lowercase with Jim the Beam. Which is another can I don't want to open here

I don't think DbD has another 10 years in it to be honest. There is a very real chance that the player peak that we saw with Jason's release will stand DbD's highest peak of all time, past and future. Seriously, what license we have yet to get could top Jason? We've seen this pattern for years now, players come in on the big licenses but they don't stay and play once the novelty wears off and they realize they're playing an unbalanced spaghetti-coded mess with a long and steep learning curve.
Maybe modding can save the game, but that's a year away if it comes at all.

Maybe, the game already gets modded, just older versions. But that would definitely help. Communities keep games alive. Portal 2 still gets community maps today

@Your_Dad_Playing_DbD said:
It’s a really good question. You have to wonder at what point the game becomes way too overwhelming for new players (I think it already is), and how long the game can be sustained by a dedicated veteran core. People thought this game was going to die a long time ago, so it has proven a lot more resilient than most expected.
My personal opinion - I think their plan is to just continue on the same path because it has been a winning formula for so long. But BHVR better have something else big in theirs plans for the long term to pivot to if/when they run out of ways to keep people engaged with the current version of DbD

I do believe the game didn't die because it's BHVRs moneymaker. Ubisoft can shut down games but shutting down DbD is shutting down BHVR

No, you assume hatch is the ONLY option. which isnt true. far from it. there is infinite ways the game could end without hatch. much better ways
in my opinion the best way is to just skip it entirely. if one survivor is left alive, then power the exit gates and start EGC. there, much better then survivors getting an escape from a single button press.

With last survivor standing, Exit gates should slowly power themselves like EMC printers with Singularity, that way it's a hide and seek and not a possible impossible escape

I'm actually curious of how killers know they're being stream sniped. No one can see your username, right? How would people know it's you?

It's the opposite. A killer sees a TTV name on a Survivor, checks Twitch out, Survivor is live. Now the Killer has intel they shouldn't normally have, going from constant (even if delayed) position of the Survivor to all the intel like who is currently doing a generator, as seen on the Survivor Images on the left. So Streamers should be able to hide their name from the Killer, while still being able to gain new viewers from the survivor side
