Hot Take: We Need More PTBs With More Experimental Testing
In all seriousness, why not? Why not test new gameplay systems and mechanics? Why not test funky or busted addon ideas just to see how they would work? I want to see BHVR experiment. I want to see them try new things, break the game and build it back up again.

Demogorgon Map Tierlist
Hello, hey, hi. I am a Demogorgon main, with thousands of hours dumped into the Killer across multiple platforms (PS4 and PC, primarily PC). After seeing Forum User Derpychicken623 make a Tierlist for Singularity, I wanted to make a Tierlist over my current thoughts of Demogorgon and how the current ecosystem of maps…

I Feel Like Distortion Has Permanently Affected How People Perceive Aura Reading
Distortion use to be really damn good at countering Aura Reading but it reached the point to where I use to see at least 2-3 per game, and it basically trained me to never really use Aura Reading perks since they were often not even really needed half the time and I didnt want to waste perk slots for something that got…

Fun Fact #2: Head-On
Did you know that Head-On cannot be used if you have AFK Crows? All it takes is a single AFK to prevent it from being used, and this mechanic was added in Patch 3.1.0. It was originally planned to have the AFK Crows fly around the Locker if they had Head On and perch on top of the Locker if they didnt have Head On. It was…

Does This Count As Holding The Game Hostage?
So I was playing Chaos Shuffle and the Killer (Huntress) burns a Damaged Photo (Offering) to send us to Mount Ormond. They were using the Wooden Fox add-on to be perma-Undetectable for most of the game. The entire game they do nothing by protect a 3-Gen set-up near the Main Building and the Generator spread is so tight…

DBD's Matchmaking...
I remember when MMR was first added how stressful my games of Killer were compared to Survivor since the matchmaking was a lot more precise with the MMR-ranges allowed within matchmaking. Overtime, BHVR has tweaked the matchmaking by reducing the MMR soft-cap so high MMR players could find matches faster and tweaked the…

Talking To A Wall... (DBD Discussion Rant)
Part of this is just a mini-rant that is not aimed at a particular person but moreso how discussions end up devolving on the DBD Forums that makes it incredibly frustrating to discuss anything. Let's create a hypothetical scenario that breaks down exactly what I have an issue with… 1.) Person A has an issue with an ingame…

I Hope We Get A Way To Bleed Out Faster
I sure do enjoy being able to do nothing for 4-minutes straight this incredibly gameplay mechanic which values my time and the time of the people around me. In all seriousness, please add a way to bleed out faster. There is no reason for a player to be forced to do nothing for several minutes straight because a player on…

99%
99%… Ninety-nine percent… Nine to the nine to the percent… I honestly cant believe I made it. It's been a long road, but Im glad Ive traveled it. Oh yea… I should probably mention… Unlike before I wont provide progress updates, Ill just release a big reveal post once I get the final achievement. This is because last time…

"Leprose Lichen" Got Nerfed So "Red Paint Brush" Could Run...
Leprose Lichen, a Demogorgon addon, use to have map-wide Aura Reading, upon teleporting through a Portal, youd get Aura Reading during the teleport animation and it would linger for a few seconds after the teleport was done. Survivors could destroy Portals meaning the value of this addon was based on your Portal placement…

Persistent Server Issues
Ive been playing both the Event and Normal Queue and my games have been really, really laggy. I keep getting into high ping lobbies where everyone is lagging, or suffering from extreme packet loss where the game just eats inputs, rubberbands, or a mix of both. It's gotten to the point to where it is basically unplayable…

Legitimately What Am I Suppose To Do Here? (Reporting Format Is Unfriendly To Linux Users)
My Bug Report got canned because I didnt include the Player Logs. This issue is that I cannot physically access the Player Logs through DBD since I play on Linux and use multiple compatibility layers to make the game actually playable within the Linux formatting. I use Proton GE/Experimental for anyone that wants to help.…
-
My Thoughts On The Game...
I really, really feel like my opinions on the game will probably not be taken well, at least on the forums, since I tend to be really direct and speak my mind on things, often in ways that people do not like. This probably wont be brief either. Back in 2021, after coming back to the game after years of not playing, DBD was…

Luck Star (Perk) Not Working Properly After Cooldown Is Finished
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: If you are in a Locker when Lucky Star's Cooldown is finished, you still retain your Grunts of Pain while Injured despite it showing as activated. Leaving the Locker still gives the Aura Reading effect and removes the Grunts of Pain, but it does not remove your Grunts of Pain while you are in the…

The Final Stretch ~ Road To 100%ing DBD
After 1750 Hours, starting my journey on PC on October 5th, 2022, Im nearing the final stretch of 100%ing the game. Some achievements I have left are not necessarily "difficult" but are simply just really grindy achievement that are really out of the way to obtained. WORKING ON: Taking One For The Team; Take a Protection…

Im Really Tired Of Toba Landing
I hate this map with a burning passion. It's hard to see anything bc of my colorblindness, colorblind settings dont really do much to help. The map is absolutely full of plants, foliage, and rocks that make it hard to see anything since there are many, many LOS blockers or objects that can be used to obstruct various…

Will The Casting Of Frank Stone Become A Chapter?
A serious question I asked in the past and I think it is becoming relevant again. Also Spoiler Warning for anyone playing or wanting to play The Casting of Frank Stone since I will mention some of the story here. (This is some extra text to fill in the description section to help prevent Spoilers from leaking out.) / / / /…

Wild Pounce (Huntress - Body Cosmetic) Clipping Issues (With Pictures)
Any sort of Owl Helmet has this clipping issue; minor clipping near the bottom of the mask, minor clipping of the forehead through the top of the helmet. Any sort of Hare or Hound helm also has this issue; the forehead clips through the top of the masks, minor clipping at the "cheeks" of the masks. I really hope this can…

Looking Back At Patch 6.1.0 ~ Was The "Massive Meta Shake-Up" A Disaster?
Patch 6.1.0 changed a large amount of perks for both Survivor and Killer and ultimately shaped the game to what it is today, however, I would love to look back at the perks and content changed in Patch 6.1.0 and see how well the changes hold up in current DBD compared to at the time. KILLER First off, I think it would be…

What Is Even The Point Of "Invocation: Treacherous Crows"?
Literally what is the point of this perk? You have to spend 60 second in basement doing nothing, does not progress the objective/Generators in any meaningful way. It leaves you permanently Broken for the entire game once it is completed and for the game to play a universal sound cue and notification telling the Killer that…
-
So... About The (Bloodpoint) Role Incentive...
BBQ and WGLF was changed a long while ago to remove their Bloodpoint effects in favor of a Role Incentives giving a bonus amount of Bloodpoint. It is a direct downgrade, since you can no longer play the role you want and have to play the role with Role Incentives; and there is no guarantee that the Role Incentive will even…

Anti-Camp + Self-Unhook Rework
I had this idea to would change how Self-Unhooking and Anti-Camp would work to make it more effective at doing it's job. ~ Self-Unhook now has the default chance set to 0%. At 0% chance of Self-Unhook, you are unable to attempt to Self-Unhook. The intention behind this is to prevent Survivors from being able to immediately…

(Un)Fun Fact About Boon Totems
There is only two perks in the game that increases the Blessing speed of Boon Totems for yourself (not for others); which is Resilience and Spine Chill. It only increases the Blessing speed by 9% and 6% respectively. Better Than New can technically increase Blessing speed but only for other players, it does not affect…

How Do I Play Around Houndmaster?
This is not a rant thread, just moreso Im really struggling and have no idea how to deal with them. Most of the time, it feels like I only really counter them because of a bug or glitch that affects the Houndmaster's power, or in other words, it feels more like Im getting lucky than Im actually countering it. I know the…

Killswitch Shouldnt Block Spending BP On A Character
The Killswitch in DBD is used to remove Characters or Perks from being played to prevent gamebreaking bugs from affecting the game. But Ive had an issue with it for awhile where you outright cannot interact with those things in any way, this includes things such as spending Bloodpoints in their Bloodweb. With Houndmaster,…

Are The "Happy" Snowmen Gone? :(
Have you seen this man? He has gone missing… Ive searched for what feels like forever trying to find one and I havent. I feel like the happy, inflatable snowmen got removed and just fully replaced with the fleshy, rotting snowmen instead. Which is a shame since I actually liked the mix of both, it gave this decent mix of…

"Cursed" Addons (DBD Concept)
I would personally love to see the addition of "Cursed" addons, or addons that affect various items or Killer powers that change how they function but do not consume the addons upon use. I want them to function similar to meme addons, in the sense that they change how the item or Killer is played completely, but they dont…
-
Generator Speeds and End-Game...
This is a bit of a mild rant about how the DBD community discusses topics such as Generator Speeds… 5 Generators. Survivors have to complete 5 Generators, which take around 90 seconds per Generator to complete. Yes there are ways to shortcut the Survivor's objective, such as bringing a toolbox or perks to make the…
-
Please Keep This Event Theme Going...
Id love to see more frozen/ice weapons on other Killers. Paired with Frosty Eyes, it just makes sense, and the weapon skins look insanely cool. Maybe you can also go back and give Killers a frozen body piece to pair with the weapons and Frosty Eyes so you have a full set of frozen cosmetics for a Killer. Overall I like…

This Achievement Took Me 312 Hours To Get...
Specifically the Left For Dead achievement. This achievement took me 312 hours (yes, I kept track) to get, and it really, really has to do with how poorly designed this achievement is and how much it relies on luck, especially in SoloQ. You have to get lucky and hope your teammates are decent and get Generators done… but…
-
I Wish There Was A Way To Bleed Out Faster...
I sure do love being Bleed out for 4-minutes when the Killer can just end the game. It would be nice if there was some level of agency from the Survivor's end to deal with this issue. :) Also yes, as you can imagine, the Killer did ye ole' W + S on top of me, nodded, and threw hatchets at me while I was on the ground.…

“Just Use Counterforce” (Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt Rant)
I see a lot of posts saying “just use Counterforce to deal with Hex: Thrill of the Hunt” but I’d love to just collectively deal with all of these threads by bringing up some counter arguments that completely shutdown Counterforce entirely. First off… let’s talk modifiers… and math… For those who don’t know how modifiers in…

Shoulder The Burden Is Poorly Designed... (DBD Perk Design)
After making my thread on Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt, I think it is only fair to address Shoulder The Burden and how poorly designed it is. Shoulder The Burden can completely changed the way that the game is played, it outright removes tunneling and, by proxy, can remove a lot of the pressure the Killer can generate through…

Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts Still Missing?
The Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts were removed when the DLC License for Stranger Things was not renewed by Netflix… however we now have the Stranger Things DLC in the game, in fact, we've had it for awhile, and the Adept achievements have not returned. When will we get them back?

My New Favorite Killer "50 (Yellow Square) CHARACTER"
MENU TITLE. 🗣️ In all seriousness, I dont know how a bug like this is even possible. It is clear that this is just meant to be placeholder text but I have no idea what caused it, it just popped up while in the lobby after a Survivor left.

Niche Perk Academy ~ "Aftercare" (#1)
How it works… Aftercare is a Jeff Johansen perk. Upon healing a Survivor, being healed another Survivor, unhooking a Survivor, or being unhooked by another Survivor, you and the other Survivor see each other's aura, this effect goes away upon being hooked. The flaws… Having mutual aura reading is not a bad effect, it…

No... I Will Not Be Voting For DBD For The Steam "Labor of Love" Award...
First off, Id like to start this by saying that any Steam users that plans on participating in the Steam Awards event should focus on making their own decisions on who to vote for based on their own personal experiences. I just want to say that DBD is trying (again) to earn the Labor of Love award and I really, really just…

"Ultimate Houndmaster" (Cosmetic) Is Severely Overpriced.
This cosmetic is rated as Ultra Rare however it ultimately falls flat compared to other Ultra Rare skins and is generally not worth the money. Costing 1755 Auric Cells, it costs 20 USD to purchase this skin, it also breaks the price standardization that BHVR said they were doing awhile back since it is more expensive than…

Bloodpoint Farming Is Dead...
…and we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murders of our farming? What was awesome and fast all that would has yet owned has been bleed to death under our knives… (This is where I would continue the copypasta but frankly I have no reason to continue this since it is too distracting. Frankly BP farming is…
-
Pay To Win, Fairness, and DBD...
Before going forwards, I have to go on a limb and say something… DBD is one of those games where I dont exactly thing it is "Pay to Win" entirely and the topic is a bit "iffy" in the since that what you could define as "Pay to Win" tends to change depending on who you ask. If you spent money on "something" and you win with…
-
Will We Ever Get A "Deception"-Based Killer?
When Legion's trailers and teasers came out, a lot of people thought that they would be a Killer that could disguise themselves like Survivors to get a drop on them, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this was the original design intention behind Legion before they were changed for PTB/Live Servers. Til this…

2v8 Killer Queue Is Awfully Long. :(
It's so bad that Im having to play Webfishing on the side to pass the time and my friend caught a Golden Bass (0.15% chance) before we got into a game. Damn the queue is taking forever. :( Update: Literally 2-seconds, after 30-minutes of waiting, we got into a game, and I got hit with an EAC error that closed my game.…

My Issue With 2v8
I think my biggest issue with 2v8 is how Killer specific interactions got removed in favor of class specific interactions, which just kind of kills part of the fun with 2v8. Before it felt like, despite the limited Killer selection, it gave me a reason to experiment with different Killer combinations since their powers and…

Why Is The New Map Not Coming To Live Servers?
On the PTB, we got a new map, but the Developer Notes state that this map is ONLY for the PTB and will not be coming to Live Servers. I have to ask… why? Was the map scrapped and is only on the PTB since it was polished enough to be available or was scrapped much later in development for the Chapter (and we are using an…
-
Event (Rant)...
I took a break halfway through the event and Im going back to grind through all the stuff before the event ends… and it is absolutely miserable. Ive had several games where the Killer hard tunnels out a player to remove them as fast as possible, often leaving us with 1 Dead at 3 - 4 Generators remaining, and then they just…
-
Are "Selfish Perks" Contributing To Higher Killrates Than "Team Perks"?
Team Perks or perks that benefit the team over one's self, such as Kindred, For The People, or Leader (just to name a few), have been around for a really long time and normally (but not always) provide insane value where they are used IF they can be used. At the same time, Team Perks are only as strong as your team. Their…

"April Fools" Gamemode Idea
Last April Fools we got a new gamemode for fun and some event stuff. Specifically it was the "My Little Oni" gamemode where all Survivors were comedically small and the Killer was comedically large. Next year, I had the idea of the new gamemode just being normal DBD, but when you load into the game, it replaces the Killer…

What Was DBD's Best Chapter?
What I mean for "Best Chapter" is not necessary "Strongest Character/Perks" but moreso how polished the content was, the content feeling fair and balanced, and the concepting feeling well thought out. For me personally, I think All Things Wicked (Unknown and Sable Ward) was the best Chapter BHVR has ever release. The…
