SWF is LITERALLY CYBERBULLISM
4 organized with comms that know everything about the other vs one that has no clue and cant do nothing to defend himself. TRY to change my mind YOU WONT BE ABLE TO ;)
Dedicated Server Error
This is getting so annoying. Its happened to me now back to back. When will this ever get fixed? This never use to happen to me. Is anyone else still getting this?
Why doesn't Dracula's and Houndmaster's abilites operate with a radial menu?
Vecna's multiple abilities are switched between with a radial menu (AKA weapon wheel) like you would see in any shooting game. You push a button and the dial pops up where you can select on the ability you want. Then the next two killers, Dracula and Houndmaster, also have multiple abilities but you have to cycle through…
Distressing. What was the point?
Of removing the point bonus? Sure it didn't particularly make sense to have this. But like the few other perks that added point increases. At the very least this encourages SOME variety in the game. I used to bring this perk on dailies for killers I suck as to somewhat bolster my points in the match. This surely wasn't…
Let me introduce you to a new dead perk joining the Fog!
It's Invocation: Treacherous Crows!! There is no doubt that this perk was designed by killers main ! I can smell it! I'm surprised this perk hasn't received any changes at all, it's so weak , 60 seconds of doing nothing, injured and broken for the rest of the trial and all just to reveals the killer's aura to all the…
What's going on with totem perks?
The developers create totem perks for survivors that give them rewards or help finding a totem which is nice and interact with side objectives, then for some reason they create totem perks for the killers that punish survivors for interacting with a totem. If the effect only applies to Hex, that's fine, but why punish…
Xbox Achievements ?
Was this an oversight ? There’s no new achievements for this new chapter ? On Xbox anyway ? Is there any point even trying to work towards these adepts ?
Houndmaster is a mess
You know what's crazy? This killer is the most fun I ever had despite the mess. But what makes it a mess? Well her power is entirely up to the developers knowledge in programming (Please, don't take this as an insult). The dog is buggier than Twins and Knight combined. No joke. I had numerous maps where my dog glitched…
2v8 ran its course
I'm okay with this game mode never coming back. it be one thing if it was only the 2v8 killer queue's that were trash. But both of them? Yeah. Send it into the sunset and wave good bye as far as I'm concerned.
Anybody have Houndmaster's adept yet?
And if so literally how lmaoo, I have been trying for over an hour. The dog just slides off everybody
Question for Killers: What's Your "He Went Next" Policy?
Now that 2v8 is over, I'm back to Killer. Almost every match one Survivor immidetley gives up. They won't even run from you. They let you hook them, then they go next. It happened to me today as Freddy, Spirit, Myers and twice as Ghostface. It spoils my Killer mood instantly and I can't bring myself to kill the others so I…
Uff, Tauries Perks are not good for adept
Always go for adept first. Her perks give you absolutely nothing. It is playing like with no perks. I find her adept pretty hard at the moment - i also get awful killers today.
Houndmaster BP gain
The deviousness gain from your power is simply too low. The other killers that were released this year are far more generous. When it comes to this killer getting a hit with your power is like 300 deviousness points.
Why do map offerings still exist in DBD?
Every time survivors put a map offering you know its going to be a bad time. Its quite obvious who is going to win the match because all it does is rig the game. Its just a bad omen. I suggest making sacrificial ward into a common like pudding or remove them. Late night is gets so bad I had survivors send me to Midwich to…
New Killer Still Better Than Trapper
Title.
Another Houndmaster Review
Honesty, I dislike everything about this killer. Starting with the most subjective point, the theme/lore. I know pirates are super popular so I'm probably in the minority, but they're just not my jam. The idea they pitched in the livestream about her being a somewhat "good" killer and the survivor being the morally…
Devs! Dork! Taurie Cain Lore idea!! 💡
What if later on the entity decided to give her a chance and made her a killer? She proved her worth. (Maybe it takes a year to do it?) I do enjoying hooking her though 🤣 but just an idea lore wise. What do you think?
Hint of a new Clown cosmetic!?
PLEEEEEASE BHVR, LET IT BE A PIRATE COSMETIC FOR CLOWN.😍
Coup De Grace change
Could you please make a check for this perk where if you do a normal lunge aka 100% or less lunge it won't consume the token. In it's current state even if you do a very small lunge it will consume it and i find it very stupid that it is like that… Make a check where if your lunge is above 100% then it will consume the…
Stranger things X Dead by daylight content
I hope one day netflix lets us have some more stranger things content, I personally would love for Steve and Nancy to get the final battle outfits from the season 4 finale. There’s so much potential if we got a second chapter with vecna as the killer and maybe the hospital could be a map.
Very Poor Practice Bhvr!
Dear Bhvr, Stop releasing and charging for killers that are purely broken! On every level her power does not work as intended… im not going to waste my time like you have everyone else's by listing all the problems she has…. just go look on steam's reviews, and theyre being kind! Geniunely stealing from your player base…
Is the current survivor scratch really normal?
The Japanese community manager responded to a user's question by saying that there is currently no problem. This is highly questionable for someone who has been playing DBD for 6 years. Scratches have gotten worse over the years, especially on indoor maps, and are often more dire, with breaks in odd places, and scratches…
Has anyone else noticed...
that a discussion thread being moved to feedback and suggestions essentially suppresses it? Yesterday I made a thread discussing why the PTB should be utilized more for the community to weigh in on with their thoughts, but it was moved over to feedback and suggestions where it has not been seen by anyone else on the…
Merged: Shoulder The Burden is, as expected, overpowered.
This discussion has been merged.
Why do some Doomed Course cosmetics not have a shard price?
See screenshot. I've been hoarding shards in preparation for this chapter (among other things) and was kind of saddened to find out that both of Taurie's very rare cosmetics and Houndmaster's visceral are not available for shards yet, while the other, lesser rarity cosmetics are. Now I've got to wait 4 weeks before being…
Houndmaster lag and extra range?
I don't know if its just me but half the time I face a houndmaster chases are full of lag, when I'm not in there terror radius its fine, but as soon as I'm around them it gets really laggy to the point where I'm teleporting back every once in a while. As for the extra range, it feels purely on my experience that she can…

Is clean break a worse anti-hemorrhagic syringe?
So if I understand correctly isn’t clean break a 100% worse version of a syringe. Syringe lets you heal yourself over the course of 16 seconds with no broken for “free” I say free because it’s a addon and not a perk like clean break Clean break you have to heal someone which takes 16 seconds to activate (as much time it…
Normal dead by daylight is terrible and boring
dead by daylight will always be a flawed game because not the developers but the people who play it. No matter how good or bad (most of the time) the lobby is the players make it terrible. Camping, tunneling, teammates afk or just bad etc. 2v8 is the only thing keeping the game fun and alive but sadly devs don’t wanna make…
Myers Players
How do you anticipate changing your builds and play style with the new Myers buffs? Will it fundamentally change the way you play now that he will have different synergies with perks etc (I’m guessing). What I really want to say is, please tell me you won’t stop playing Jumpscare myers - DBD needs you!🙏🥺
Myers is not nerfed!
You people have no clue what you're talking about! All we heard for years was he was so bad because he can run out of his power and his tier 1 was terrible because it took him forever to play the game normally and get out of tier. So they add double the amount of stalk so you almost never run out, buff tier 1 massivly and…

Lets see your P100's
Hey guys. Just for fun post some screenshots of your P100 characters for those who have one and would care to share. Who are you most dedicated to? I just have two because they're all I really play:

Better Gaming chair confirmed
I know I'm probably treading on very thin ice again if I report this here, but I took extra care to remove all names from the video. Footage is from October 25th, 2024. So again very current. I will soon post a collected post with all the recordings from the last 7 years. There are many people who have played for a long…
3 Perks Buffed
So 3 different perks that weren't in the 8.4.0 ptb were buffed. Distressing, (was 26%) Hex: Thrill of the Hunt, (was 10%) and No One Left Behind. (was 50% and 7% for 10 seconds) They removed the Bonus BP from them and now the only perk with bonus BP is Beast of Prey.
After the new update, is the houndmaster weak or strong?
Is she getting stronger from the buff or is she still just as weak? This image is fan created.
Im shocked
What is The Houndmaster? This killer looks like an incomplete project, her power has A LOT OF BUGS totally counterable, difficult to make things, irritant to use, not manegeable, weak, survivor can drink some tea while u can try target them. The worst chapter ever. What happening? Please BHVR try to make a simple killers,…
Houndmaster's Hounsense is kinda pointless
So, I really think that people have been underrating Houndmaster's strength, but that's not the point of this thread. The point that I would like to make is that, part of her kit does feel kinda useless, which is strange since there are a lot of add-ons that affect it. I am talking about Houdsense. Ok, it reveals the…
Doctor's static blasts FULLY RESET invocation progress
Is this some kind of joke? Do we really need to make the worst perks in the game even worse? I found this out the hard way on blood lodge and ended up trying to do the invocation FIVE TIMES before finally being killed in the basement. (Yes that is not optimal, but I am allowed to try out the new perks on live right?) This…
Can someone explain why BVHR still has not fixed Sadako's invisibility after 7 months?
The current invisibility is 0.94 seconds and BVHR coding is making invisibility timer start when particles start instead of when the character reappears. Also Rekiro watch add-on has no effect and does not work.
2v8 is not the real issue
Splitting queues is. Right now it feels like that having regular 1v4 queue is an evt than the actual events/modifiers/game modes. Also BHVR team did something to the BP incentives. Here in Brazil it was 100% for survs everyday between 10:00 to 23:00 hours, but after some evt in June or July this was permanently screwed…
Demogorgons upside down resin got nerfed hard
In the patch notes it saids it was 28% but that is not true It was 40% It didn't get a 8% nerf it got a 20% nerf.
Did they record any new audio for the new survivor?
I recognize both those screams and they’re not original Also the new survivor looks like she’s dead
Love what's coming tomorrow, except
What was done to Dracula. Hellfire's cooldown was increased 50% and the buffs to the Wolf are still the same non-existent ones. And all his perks are still pretty useless or are not worth bringing. Dominance buff is good, but it still only blocks the object's first interaction and don't work on Pentimento totems. I thought…
You can’t do both Invocation perks at the same time?!
The new ‘Invocation: Treacherous Crows’ perk already seemed really weak and niche but I thought, hey at least we can use it in tandem with ‘Weaving Spiders’. But apparently that’s not the case You have to activate them both separately, so that’s 120 seconds in the basement for both perks I figured Invocation perks would…
Thoughts on Houndmaster?
Now that the killer is available to play for everyone... What's your thoughts so far?
