Wouldn't it be nice if there was something on this forum where every time someone started trying to make a "this game is XXX sided" comment on threads where it was completely off topic they got some sort of penalty? I don't care which side is making that statement.

You are absolutely correct. I have been playing this game pretty much since the beginning. Had a friend over a few weeks ago and he was looking at what games I had installed on my playstation. A few days later he tells me he had bought DBD. He said he had planned to get a little experience and then surprise me with us…

I'm 54 years old. Been playing video games since the days of Pong. Taught my kids to play video games. My kids are teaching my grandkids to play video games. I just played my first online video game with my 5 year old grandson the other day. Anyone that wants to tell me I am too old to play video games can go to hell. I'll…

As a survivor main I just wish I got paired with survivors like the ones in this video more often. Getting paired with 3 other survivors that will actually make working gens a priority is exceedingly rare in solo queue.

I admittedly carry glyphs in the basement at times. You would think maybe they could come up with challenges that didn't require doing things that are basically counterproductive to the objectives, but I can at least understand in those situations.

I pretty much only play survivor. In those rare instances I get paired with 3 other survivors that are at least decent at the game and trying to escape there is an extremely high chance at least 2, if not all 4, are going to escape. The problem is it only takes 1 survivor that either a) sucks at the game, b) is not playing…

Exactly this. The only thing that ever makes me intentionally die on hook is other survivors. If I am playing with survivors that are intentionally sandbagging I'm out on first hook. If I'm five minutes into a match and I'm the only survivor that has touched a gen I'm out on first hook. Other survivors can play how they…

I think a lot (though I am sure not all) of the "I'm not responsible for your fun" mentality comes from people who can only feel good about themselves if they make others feel bad. There are people in every facet of life (real and online) who take their joy in the misery of others. When I go up against that kind of killer…

Unless you want the event items there is zero reason to play this event as a survivor. The void is 100% a detriment to survivors.

I rarely DC myself. I will only DC if I have a legit emergency or I get into a farming match. If others want to farm I guess more power to them, but I get zero enjoyment out of a match where everyone stands around the killer taking turns being hit, downed, and hooked twice just so they can get a bunch of points healing. I…

As a survivor main I can assure you the majority of survivors either do not care about playing intelligently or completely lack the ability to do so. There's a higher likelihood of the same person winning the lottery and being struck by lightning in the same day than there is of the majority of survivors playing this game…

Aura reading perks are the absolute worst thing BHVR has in this game. It wouldn't bother me at all if every single aura reading perk on both sides were removed and there was never another one.

I can completely understand that. I won't pretend to claim there aren't times certain things happen that annoy me. I am just saying I am not going to claim those things are unfair just because I don't like them. If people aren't cheating in some way or breaking the rules they aren't doing anything unfair regardless of…

I am always bewildered by this type of thought process. It doesn't matter which side it comes from. - The other side is doing something I don't personally like. They aren't breaking any rules. They aren't hacking. They aren't cheating in any way. The thing they are doing is 100% allowable. However, since I don't like it I…

100% yes to all your points here. I just got out of a match with a Bubba, myself, one level 79 survivor, and 2 100 level survivors. Survivor 1 got hooked. 10 to 15 seconds later Survivor 2 unhooked them. Survivor 2 was instadowned the moment they took survivor 1 off the hook. Survivor 2 was hooked on the same hook. At that…

Chaos shuffle mode is what this game should have been been the start

As a survivor main I used to think ghost face was incredibly op. I struggled against ghost face like no other killer. I started watching streamers and realized there's lots of survivors that don't struggle against ghost face nearly as much as me. I was forced to realize that probably meant the issue wasn't so much ghost…

I had never had this happen until yesterday, and yesterday I was in 3 separate matches - all Autohaven - where I kept walking up non existent bumps in the ground. That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact it caused me to either slow down significantly or maybe even stop for a fraction of a second each time I ran into one…

If I could make a change to the way perks are handled it would be this. Modify the recent event (I forget the name) where you were assigned random perks at the start of a each match. Instead of that allow each player to select a pool of 20 potential perks. At the start of each match you are randomly assigned 4 from your…

That's exactly what I was thinking. The only reason distortion is a valuable perk is because there are lots of killers that run builds where they are constantly popping aura readings throughout the whole match. If distortion gets changed in a way that it's no longer useful against that kind of killer then it's simply no…

The moment I stopped playing 2 vs 8 was my favorite moment for that mode

The hackers I see the most are killers that know where every survivor is every moment of the match. They just run directly from survivor to survivor. They don't search. It's obvious they know where every survivor is at all times. Then after the match you look and they have played no perks to reveal auras of any type.

2 vs 8 mode amplifies the biggest issue of playing survivor. The majority of survivors either don't play this game with escape as their objective or they have no clue how to do so.

It's zero fun to me. I'm a survivor main and the thing I hate most in this game is getting paired with bad survivors. Being paired with double the amount of bad survivors is maddening.

100% agree with this. The majority of the time I go against a Sadako they are ultra sweaty. I couldn't begin to guess why that is. I've pretty much learned going against a Sadako is very likely not going to be a fun game. But I to my best and just move to the next one

Unless you're playing as part of a 4 man swf this is not even remotely a team game. Survivors may all have a common enemy, but that does not make them a team. As a matter of fact I would say the majority of the time other survivors are either 1) unintentionally working against you just by playing selfishly or 2) will very…

Can.a dev or a mod tell me what I need to do? I am still getting the same initialization error on my PS4 and PS5. I even have a Nintendo switch that has DBD and can't get the game to fully load there either. I'm not having any issues with any other online game I play on any of those systems.

No luck deleting and reinstalling. Any other suggestions would be appreciated

I've deleted on the PS5 and reinstalling. Hopefully that does the trick.

It is pretty sad that this is the way a new mechanic was chosen to be added to the game. Regardless of the official branding weaving spiders is 100% a killer perk.

As a survivor main I agree with you. Far too often you see survivors performing unsafe hook rescues. If other survivors are pulling you off the hook while the killer is still relatively close you can't blame the killer for taking the gift dropped in their lap by other survivors doing stupid things. Maybe the end result is…

As a survivor main I just wish I got paired with the survivors that make this killer build necessary. In the majority of my matches the survivors I'm paired with wouldn't make even one gen regression perk necessary.

Translation: this person intentionally plays in a way they know sabotages the other survivors and doesn't care

I read that the same way you did

Yes. Especially this portion of what you said: "This is why survivor matches fall apart so much. I sometimes see killers wishing they had teammates, but that feeling would soon go away after they had lost their tenth match in a row because of their teammates screwing things up for them." That is the reason I cringe so much…

I think a better way to say it is the basement is the most easily defended part of the map. The moment a survivor is hooked in the basement it can easily become the most dangerous place on the map if the killer wants to make it so.

As a survivor main I agree with everyone you said in this comment

Almost every match for me

I absolutely agree with you. If you took the percentage of skilled killers versus the percentage of skilled survivors I think the killer side would have a much larger number. That is exactly why I think survivors are their own worst enemies, and often times the best perk any killer could have.

As a survivor main there was a time I would do that. As with all things though there are people that will take advantage of it. I had one too many times where I let a killer hit me only to have them hit exposed right before hitting me and then taking me to hang me. I don't mind playing casual, but trying to play nice in…

The killer try hards that I don't get are the ones that will slug the 3rd survivor to go find the 4th when there are still 4 or 5 gens left. That isn't to say it's wrong. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done. I do understand the last survivor might get the hatch. It's just a level of sweaty I don't think I am capable of…

I thought pretty much the same thing when I was watching this guy, but I wouldn't doubt in the least that there are a lot of both survivors and killers that think they are doing something when they do these things

I wouldn't doubt in the least that is happening. I saw a ghostface main on tiktok awhile back that specifically said he farms every few matches and will frequently give the last survivor the hatch because he doesn't want the data to make it look like ghostface needs to be nerfed. If there are killers doing things in an…

I don't know what you'd call it but there is one perk I would play every match as a survivor if it existed. Anytime any survivor blows a skill check, including myself, their aura is revealed for the next 10 seconds to the killer while all other survivors have their auras, scratch marks, and noises hidden for the same…

The recent updates to Blight and Billy have resulted in a lot of very similar matches for me. If you get paired with even one survivor that is new, goofing off, or just not good against one of them it's nearly impossible to win. Get paired with more than one and the match was over before it began.

I know not everyone agrees on this topic but as a survivor main there are times I intentionally die on the first hook, or at least try. Was in a match just a little bit ago where I was the first survivor chased. I gave the killer a decent run. During that time none of the other 3 survivors touched a gen, a totem, or…

Therein lies the reason it's impossible to give this game balance. There's such a huge difference between a 4 person SWF team and solo survivor that any attempt at balance is going to leave one group at a disadvantage. Make killers only strong enough to compete with solo survivors and they are at a distinct disadvantage…

The first thing I would say is there are two types of stealth players. There are those that play selfish and those that don't. It has been my experience I am much more likely to escape as a survivor if I get paired with teammates with different styles of play unless one of those is the selfish stealth player that is just…

It's the same problem this game has always had. Balance. However, I don't think the issue with balance is between killer and survivors as much as it is just among survivors. All it takes is one bad or selfish survivor to make a match a guaranteed loss for all survivors. That goes double against a killer as powerful as…

Survivor has become increasingly more miserable for me. I don't put the time into this game that so many others do. That means when the game experiences a change to make things more balanced it's going to be a net negative for me because they aren't balancing for the person that plays just a few matches per week. They're…
