Knockout: Rework to encourage hooking concept
Preamble So Knockout is not a very good perk... it's only decent on a handful of killers and even then for a niche slugging strategies... and heavily countered by comms most of the time... however for SoloQ the slugging strategies are pretty obnoxious and unenjoyable for the survivor team. This leaves Knockout in a place…

Nightmare can TP to waking up Survivors
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: It seems like waking up another survivor is considered "healing", allowing the Nightmare to benefit from his own counter... STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: Saw it in SpookyLoopz demonstration. VIDEO:

Small Tomb Raider accurate Hardened Buff please?
Preamble One of my favourite subtle and lesser known effects in DBD is the tertiary effect of Balanced Landing, where when you fall from height, you do so without screaming (the first being the haste boost, and second being the reduced stagger). This not screaming effect is pretty cool as you can drop out of sight of the…

The Junji Ito Collection looks so damned good!
Thank you for introducing me to a whole new body of work I was not familiar with... I'm loving the genuine creepy and unsettling look of all of this collection, really does feel like some proper horror tropes. Though as a public service announcment, I need to issue a caution at how skimpy Meg's ballerina outfit is... Just…

Nightmare Rework to reflect the ambiguous Dream World transition
Ofc a Freddy rework is already in the pipeline from BHVR, but I'd like to throw out my hand at looking at Freddy as a long term Nightmare on Elm Street fan. I wasn't around for old Freddy, and the original version seems pretty nuts, so I'm not gonna suggest that... however I want to try and capture more of a NoES vibe that…

QoL Buffs for Whispers
I like using Whispers, it is pretty unique and interesting for builds, and what is nice about it is the fact it is unconditional/uncounterable. Now I know people will say it's outclassed by other perks, and I will agree its a little power crept, however Whispers does have some unique properties that gives it the potential…

Pretty Conclusive Evidence BP Incentives are broken for Killer
There have numerous threads on this, but there has been this niggling doubt between what the split of players is at any given times, meaning no one is 100% sure... and I've finally got a session where it was quite undeniable that the BP incentives are broken for Killer. I've made a bug report on it! Please upvote if you…
-
Bloodpoint Incentive for Killer definitely broken
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: The BP incentive never goes the side of Killer. This has been observed for over a month now, and I've encountered a very obviousbdifference in queue times. The queue time for Survivor is reaching the 2 minute mark in this example, yet the queue time for Killer is less than 20s. PLATFORM: PS5…

Hex Startup Buff: Only light up when triggered/gains a token
One of the big issues of Hexes is there are a number of them that are lit at the start of the trial. Often you have to take multiple hexes to make them work/defend them, but that also increases the odds of survivors fiinding a hex at the start of the trial and then being aware to look out for hexes. It would be greatly…

Self Presevation - Buffs or total rework?
Sometimes its quite easy to come up with ideas for buffing bad perks. You can see what they're trying to do, increase the effects, add additional benefits, etc, etc... However I looked at this perk... and I gotta admit I'm struggling for this one.... A numbers buff probably isn't enough It's current issue is any killer who…

Counterforce: While the Iron is Hot
Since this perk is such a common talking point right now, I think it's a good time to Maurice-skin up some QoL talking points about this perk from yesteryear that went nowhere. I suspect TotH is going to get nerfed so I'm not going to ask for Counterforce buffs or reworks (at least not to tackle TotH)... but... Why is this…

Cleansing the Soul: One thing you want to scream in the ear of your SoloQ teammates
Mine: For the love of God, will you please stop unhooking me when I am the only person on death hook with 50s on my timer remaining against Wraith... It is so obvious he is going to tunnel me, and the chance I get to safety before he blocks it off is not good... cause it's a god damned Wraith! Use the time the game gives…

Does anyone else "Give the Mori?"
I see people posting all the time about how mad they are about getting Finisher Mori'd in numerous contexts. I never get mad at it myself, which amuses me cause traditionally I've been at hot head at games, but DBD just gels with me I guess... However one thing I do if the killer hasn't played mean with tunneling, camping,…

Hex: Thrill of the Hunt should have built in counterplay
The new buff to Thrill of the Hunt is all of the rage right now, and while I agree Hexes could do with some help (maybe even make people use maps more), this Hex with Hexes like Devour Hope is very strong to the point of being quite oppressive, particularly on high mobility killers. A decent Spirit determined to hold an…

Make New Myers and Scratched Mirror 4.4m/s?
Preface I wanna preface this by saying... I bloody hate Scratched Mirror Myers... I'm just gonna get it outta the way and say it... It doesnt scare me cause it's so predictable and I always end up dying because I always get bored of my team being too cowardly to touch gens and Myers constantly harassing me cause I'm the…

Thoughts on a Comeback Mechanic in an asym
As we all know, 2v8 has a comeback mechanic built into it, where: - Whenever a generator is completed, all survivors suffer a 5% repair speed penalty. Whenever a survivor is hooked, all survivors gain a 2.5% repair speed bonus. Thinking about this system, I believe it is far too simple, but as I thought more about it, I…

Let's fix Maps finally!
What should we try to do with Maps? I believe that auras fundamentally are more helpful for new players and SoloQ. Maps are actually good, but should be made more accessible to the players who would benefit more with them! The fact is if you're in a SWF or are highly skilled enough, maps are not something that is ever…

Left Behind buff to be Anti 4k Slug!
I am making threads to buff keys and make them better for hatch, and those changes I am proposing makes Left Behind a little obsolete. However regardless of whether or not those changes come to fruition, Left Behind could still use a buff, and with the big concern nowadays being slugging for the 4k, Left Behind can fill…

Let's fix Keys finally!

Cages in 2vs8 do not count for "Kill Survivor by any means" Challenges
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When playing 2vs8, if you have a challenge selected for killing survivors by any means, sacrificing a survivor via a cage doesn't count towards the challenge. This could be attirbuted to you not being the one to kill them, however it does count if your teammate is the one to Finisher Mori a survivor.…

A tiny buff to Wesker to further discourage tunneling?
A Great Change The last round of changes to reduce his ability to tunnel and score a free hit via hindered if he sucked at chase/using his power was a great change. A Wesker who comes back to hooks should have to actually be good if he wants to tunnel and shouldn't realistically expect a hit to come for free if he waits…

Final Hunt - Finisher Mori
So while talking about the prevalence of 4k slugging, this suggestion is not new: Make the Finisher Mori an incentive not to slug via only unlocking if the 4th survivor is not in the dying state when the 3rd survivor dies. However while thinking about that I had what I think seems rather cool idea... have the killer get…

Finisher Mori tweak to go against 4k slug
I reckon the slugging for 4k will tone down after a while, I think the uptick in it is primarily cause its new... I also actually like being Mori'd. I see it as a badge of honour to be the one that gets to have the cinematic finish. However other people don't like it, and there will still be SOME uptick in 4k slugging,…

Nurse and Predator highlights potential positive direction
Predator is fine... A lot of people called it, it's been swimming in a few threads here and there... Predator is fine with the rework, but it is absolutely broken on Nurse. I've seen a few content creators highlight it already, and the general gist is the same... leave Predator alone... you can't nerf a perk to uselessness…
-
We should address the ACTUAL problem with Slugging
To get to the point quickly, the problem of Slugging is actually quite simple... A slugged player loses all player agency. There is a principle held in all game design, be it board games, video games or even playground games. You should never take away players agency. This is why snakes and ladders, tic tac toe and other…

Chucky is a battleground for DBDs soul...
I wish polls were a thing in this forum... I flip flop on the changes to Chucky and his scamper constantly. After listening to people on both sides, and playing as and against Chucky a number of times of console, I feel there are 2 chains of thought on Chucky, and I think where you fall kinda indicates what type of game…

One thing that was overdone with Distortion...
EDIT: Nevermind! The buff to 15s charge is better than this suggestion! Plz ignore! 🤘 Starting with 1 stack instead of 2 makes it pointless. It should start with 2 stacks. OK, so I'm among the group of the opinion that Distortion requiring chases to get stacks back is a good thing... Even the time isn't bad to my mind,…

As a Pig Main, I feel manipulated...
I mean they gave us two snoots... how do I not? They even gave us glowey eyes. Can I live with myself? Knowing I've bought a Pig cosmetic so brazenly designed to shamelessly tickle ever last Pig nerve I have just right? One that actively contradicts my characters own stealth gameplay and nerfs me by proxy? A skin I…

Let's talk about Ghost Face
So I know for a fact I'm not naturally gifted at this killer. I play Myers and Pig quite often, but I'm kinda clumsy and on those killers, as I've been getting paired with better and better players I dont have time to try and be careful and sneak up... more often my stealth gets found out anyway, and so it becomes…

Holding breath for the next Dev Update...
Now the PTB has closed, gonna be real interesting to see what comes of the next Dev Update... offhand the things I'm anxiously waiting for: - Corrective Action will change how? Skull Merchant to die confirmed? Finisher Mori going through? In what form? Unknown going to stay more sluggish after TP following basekit buff but…

One thing I'm potentially excited about for 2vs8...
These "classes" for killer... I'm trying to think how they would work, and my main thought is that the character based skills (basekit add-ons) and the shared killer skills would change based on the class of killer you're playing... Before we had the: - Share Skill 1 - Survivors entering chase are revealed for 5 seconds.…

Better Than New: Give it a new niche!
Preamble (Skip to Rework below for TLDR) After all the buffs on various other healing perks, of the healing perks in the game Better Than New is just laughably useless... even if you made the effect permanent instead of losing it on getting injured, it'd still be a very poor perk... While looking at medkits the other day,…

Positively thinking about Skull Merchant's direction...
So I'm very saddened to learn how Skull Merchant is being gutted, especially with the time and effort I've put it to rewrite her lore, and the various suggestions and discussions I've been involved in to try and improve her functionality... I'm even more saddened with how many people I respect in the DBD community…

Move Memento Mori to a perk?
As an Exp offering player, I am indifferent to the Finisher Mori change because I almost never use Mori's... now I actually might use mori offerings... The objectively true objections to finisher mori I can see are: - Kill players by your own hand challenges get a lot tougher overall. Players lose options to flavour their…

Game: Name the Survivor/Killer Perk Equivalent!
Survivors and Killers constantly argue between each other and rarely see eye to eye, fighting each other cat and dog while trying to argue who has it better/worse. We have plenty to argue about, and we have a strong mix of good perks, meme perks, funny perks, and perks that leave a lot to be desired... so in the spirit of…

Rewriting Skull Merchant's Lore
TLDR: Original: Revision: Revision V2: It should just be link required to access, but do let me know if there are any access issues! Guff: Hi all! Just to try and get to the point, the Skull Merchants lore could do with a revamp, and while I'm not a professional writer or anything, I've always had an interest in stories…

Would it benefit the game for perks in SWF to be unique?
I know that Survivors are gonna pitch a fit at me… but I'm not trying to ruin the SWF experience, so plz do hear me out first… My suggestion is: You may only take 1 of each perk throughout the whole pre-lobby team… For SoloQ, obviously anything goes, you take whatever you want, no limits… However, the more of you that are…

Game Balance/Skill Conundrum: Mind Games vs. Mechanics
Hello reader! I hope to take you on a thought journey that is hopefully as fun to read and it is to write. 😁 Intro DBD is one of the most interesting and unique games I know. I've played all kinds of video games since I was 5 across multiple platforms, and the mind games and mechanics of DBD are the most unique of any…

Are Balance discussions in 2vs8 pointless?
We all have our opinions on 2vs8... I love it personally on either side... However one thing I've noticed, especially on Killer side, is this game mode is a totally different beast to regular DBD. There are certain elements that cross over, but if I would use a word to describe the game mode, I would pick bonkers. I…
