Why did haste become so much more common?
Haste before was relegated to very specific perks that did not apply it often (Hope, Noed, devour and exhaustion mostly) But for the past 2 years or so we’ve gotten an insane amount of new perks/add-ons using the effect. My main issue with this is that most of the haste effects just aren’t readable in normal gameplay and…

Another cool survivor perk concept released way too weak.....
So in the past 2 years or so we've had 3 new types of survivor perks released. 'Boon' perks, 'Teamwork' perks and 'Invocation' perks. All 3 of these new perks types add an interesting dynamic to the trial but man they are all just kinda terrible tbh Boon are without question the strongest. Circle of healing and shadowstep…

Do people just not understand Skull merchant?
Been seeing some recent discourse about new Skull merchant from the RPD clip and general discussion here and on reddit and I'm just honestly dumbfounded about how people just don't understand her power. Like it's completely fair not to like her power (Though I'd take 10 SM before 1 knight tbh) but at least learn what it…

Merged: These trickster changes are a joke right?
This discussion has been merged.

Next tome
Is anyone really excited about the next tome? The fact that newly released chapters get tomes next just doesn’t work imo. New characters already come with a huge amount of lore and adding stuff so close to launch gives no leeway for the devs to figure out the issues with their lore and how to fix it. Tbh Hux’s lore is mid…
-
The reason Solo queue is so bad at the moment
It’s the archive challenges pretty much For killer the archives challenges are generally very basic and things you do naturally while playing. For example stuff like breaking pallets, hooking survivors and even just hitting survivors. The only challenges that really require you to go out of you way are really specific…

Killer lore ranking
My opinion on every original killer’s lore after reading all of them + archives cause I was bored. Pretty impressed overall at BHVR’s work as I enjoyed most of them
-
Skull merchant can actually chase
When using 2 add-ons anyway Using Randomised strobes and geographical readout makes her drones surprisingly potent antiloop tools. You get 2% from the geo readout, 5% from the strobe and anywhere from 3 % to 7 % depending on how many traceable survivors on your radar. Potential moving 14% faster than survivors is…
-
Are they even trying with Skull merchant?
At this point it feels like her entire lore is making fun of her. If that’s the intention then it should’ve been more clearly stated This just hurts to read tbh. This was their chance to redeem skill merchant and it’s only gotten worse
-
Please reconsider the Tome changes
So if you don’t know every new original chapter will be getting a tome in its following mid chapter. To be honest this is a bad idea. By doing this the devs don’t get a good idea for what’s wrong with the characters lore or even what new things they can add to it. Knight’s tome was basically a retelling of his current base…

DBD Fashion show
Lets have a break from the PTB discussion and talk about something much more important that being Fashion! Show off your main cosmetic combos for your mains in the comments, Here's mine

Tome changes
So they revealed that any original chapter will receive a tome in the following mid chapter of its launch. I hate this change tbh as it leaves a some characters as the forgotten few who will have to wait until a licensed chapter for their chance The most notable ones are Slinger, Oni, Artist, Haddie, Elodie, Felix and most…
-
You thought the 3 gen merchant was bad
Get ready for the anti heal merchant. Drones emit a terror radius which makes skill checks nearly impossible + sloppy and leverage. No point in even trying to heal
-
Mid chapter
The age of Jolt has begun! Seriously though it’s probably the best regression perk overall now. PR only works 4 times and COB Overcharge is dead (Thank god). Would’ve liked to see pop get 15% total regression to finally make its comeback in the meta But healing changes are great. Healing another survivor could’ve stayed at…
-
My thoughts on Merchant changes
As someone who’s mained merchant since her release I felt like I should post my thoughts about her changes Firstly is the Claw traps. This change is pretty good overall and gives some actually threat in disarming a drone. Extra haste per claw trap is going to be very strong in a chase especially combined with the pallet…
-
It is done
Finally got bloody merchant. Safe to say i found my new main for awhile Also new Haddie drip
-
The problem isn’t skull merchant
So with merchant’s release there’s been a lot of discourse over her ability to camp a 3 gen. This similarly happened with knight (I’m sure you’ve all seen the hens video) But I feel like a lot of people are placing the blame on the wrong thing. The number 1 cause of this issue is not these killers but the current gen kick…
-
Fun Skull Merchant build
Was experimenting with different builds for merchant and came across a pretty fun and viable build The perks are Brutal strength, Fire up, Oppression and Pop (could be replaced with any other gen kick perk). The add-ons are shotgun speakers and geographical readout Shotgun speakers make the oppression skill checks much…
-
Skull merchant might be my new favourite killer
Very surprised to say this but she’s genuinely been very fun so far. I’ve been running spirit fury, enduring, jolt and fear monger and have been doing consistently well with her The new buffs feel great and her power feels much more fluid and viable outside of 3 gens (Though she is still too strong in those situations…
-
Any update on the standardised survivor audio volumes?
I remember just after the Iron will nerf BHVR announced that survivor audio would be standardised so that some survivors aren’t much louder than others (Jeff, Jane and Ash for example) But as far as I know there’s been no update on this change. Some newer survivors like Rebecca are even super loud now which makes me think…
-
Boons: Are they a failed design concept?
So boon totems have been a part of dbd for over a year now so I thought it was about time to have an overall discussion of their inclusion and how they have affected the game There’s currently 4 boons in the game being Shadowstep, Circle of healing, exponential and dark theory. I can say that only 1/4 of these totems are a…

New Haddie cosmetics!
We finally got some new Haddie cosmetics! And now they’ll have more cosmetics per update so it should be more spread out among the cast. I especially love the new one in the middle Thanks BHVR from all 5 Haddie mains!

If you are reworking Red Forest BHVR
I’d love to see the Temple of purgation moved into the forsaken boneyard realm (Eyrie of Crows). The map always felt out of place to me in a forest and while the boneyard isn’t perfect it would feel a lot more natural for the temple itself If you want a Lore reason maybe artist decided to paint it and add it to her realm?
-
How I would fix Clown
Clown doesn’t need any major changes at the moment but there are some ways to make his power feel more fluid to use and make the yellow bottle a more useful tool Clown’s afterpiece tonic and antidote now work off different ammo. His tonic count remains at 4 while he gains 1 antidote. This antidote recharges passively after…
-
My thoughts on the Nurse nerfs
As a resident Nurse hater I want to go over my opinions on the nerfs and whether or not I think they are good changes So starting off Blink attacks are now considered special attacks. I’m actually kinda mixed on this change since it’s basically another band aid fix for her power. She can still just go through walls and hit…

Anyone else getting crazy lag every few matches?
Seems to have only started today but every round or so everyone in the lobby is lagging like crazy and rubberbanding everywhere Anyone else notice this?

A sad day for me and the 2 other Haddie mains
Back again with my annual post about how cosmetic distribution sucks At least give haddie the prime gaming cosmetic (And the unreleased recolour) in the store. She only has 1 store cosmetic and it’s a locked set which nobody is really interested in Kinda crazy that an original character for the big anniversary chapter who…

Haddie Kaur: How to mishandle a Survivor in every way possible
So by now it’s fair to say that Haddie is one of the least played original characters. But why is that you may ask? Well let’s look at Haddie’s short history in the game to see why she’s so unpopular within the community. Even before her launch Haddie was being teased by BHVR through different tome stories. These tomes…
-
So nurse does impact perk balance
So the devs have decided to nerf awakened awareness because in their own words “This effect could be a little oppressive on certain Killers, especially when paired with Lethal Pursuer to extend the aura reading effect and Starstruck to make Survivors Exposed” Now it’s pretty obvious the “certain killer” they are referring…
-
Let’s talk about Freddy (And how I would rework him)
So it’s not really a bold statement to say that Freddy is one of the worst killers in the game right now. He’s regarded as Weak, Uninteresting to play as and against and limited in his playstyles and perk choices. So what can be done about him? As much as I would love to have old Freddy back it’s clear the devs have no…
-
Reassurance could set a worrying trend
So the meta shifting patch was made for multiple reasons. One of which was to allow players to experiment with other perk options outside the meta since the meta had become to rigid and strong. As survivor (solo especially) running BT, DS and an exhaustion perk was basically required. So the new RE chapter comes out and lo…
-
Where’s Haddie gone?
I swear I’m the only person who plays her at this point. I know this generally happens to new survivors but never have I seen one drop off so quickly especially since she’s a female survivor which tend to be more popular. Even thinking recent releases I still see a ton of mikaela and even yun Jin from time to time. Do…
-
Mettle of man nerf?
But why? Literally nobody used it even after the update. Now we’ve cement it as the perk used to throw the match since you now not only have to take 2 protection hits but also have to stop doing any game progressing actions while you have it. If you earned mettle of man in a match you should keep it regardless of what you…
-
Why Clown was really removed
We all know the real reason the devs removed him is that he’s now on the hunt for Maurice and can’t waste time partaking in trials. Let’s hope he finds him soon :(
-
Anyone else feel like the devs are scared of making strong survivor perks?
I’ve been thinking about this especially since the new patch and it feels like the devs are afraid of making strong survivor perk options. If we look at killer over the past year we have got Pain resonance, Pentimento, Lethal pursuer, Call of brine and Deadlock as new great options. Out of the three scourge hooks so far…

Interesting Onryo playstyle in tournament
Just saw this video of a Sadako player in a tournament using a playstyle I’ve never seen before. Actually seems pretty strong all things considered. What do you guys think of this? https://youtu.be/ugPWMMbYg70
-
My experience with the update so far
So far I’ve been playing exclusively Pinhead and have yet to actually lose a match (Lower than a 3K). The base killer changes on top of pinheads game delay and anti loop feels ridiculous especially against solo survivors Also his add on Original pain makes tunnelling completely trivial since it hard counters OTR and BT.…

Fellow Jeff mains
New Amazon prime outfit is out for him. Looks pretty damn good and isn’t just a leather jacket and jeans

Chapter tier list
List is based on perk strength, Killer design and map if the chapter came with one and the overall theme of the chapter. Important to note that a killer’s strength is mostly irrelevant to me so long as they are unique and reflect their source material if they are licensed. Obviously there will be some bias but I tried to…
-
Why not just remove perk tiers?
I will start this by saying that the prestige overhaul is a decent change. Despite this I can’t help but think that the removal of perk tiers would’ve been a overall better solution. Here are the benefits of removing perk tiers. Reduces the grind by a huge chunk (Similar amount to the current overhaul especially if you…
-
Why nerf DS at all?
I can understand that you want to change the meta but nerfing DS from 5 to 3 seconds is going to make it basically pointless Let’s say you are facing a nurse with 1 or 2 range add ons or a spirit with MD ring. What the hell is a 3 second stun going to do against that? Or even a blight or billy? I think most can agree that…
-
How I would fix deathslinger without just reverting him
So deathslinger isn’t in the greatest spot at the moment and the devs haven’t touched him since his nerf. I have thought of some ideas of how to fix him without compromising the nerf he was given. Make his aiming sensitivity the same as his normal one. There’s no need for this at all especially with quick scoping gone…
-
Simple Oni change I’d love to see
So does anyone remember that Oni used to have 2 chase music tracks? One was for when you played as him and the other was what survivors heard. This was removed due to a bug but apparently the devs liked it so they kept it in I think when Oni is in blood fury it should play his alternate chase theme…
-
Rambo in DBD
After this survey Rambo in dbd sounds like the stupidest yet best idea ever. Since we have ash with voice acting we could even have Stallone talking in the lobby How would you feel about him in the game?
-
Would you like to see all killers get voice lines?
Since trickster has some and Pinhead is getting his back would you like to see some original and licensed killers get their own. To add onto this maybe survivors could get some too. Voice lines at the start of the trial could be nice. I would personally love this but I want to hear your thoughts on it
-
Anyone else excited for dissolution?
This perk sounds pretty strong imo. I’ll definitely be running it on my Clown with STBFL for some insane chase potential What are your thoughts on it?
-
What would you like to see as the new prestige rewards?
Personally I’d love a bloody chibi charm of each survivor or a legacy inspired skin (obviously not the actual ones). what ideas do you all have?
