Anyone else getting high ping spikes on dbd recently?
Since the event came, my average ping has been 80-90 and it jumps to 120-130 sometimes. Idk if somethings wrong with my ethernet but I've also noticed other players having high ping... Anyone have a fix or some knowledge of this?
Entire Sections of Maps Are Just blank
Legitimately no reason to paly survivor anymore these tiles are hilarious. I dont know how many have noticed but there is just NOTHING for 1/4ths of maps. Sometimes there IS something in that 1/4th but guess what kind of pallet you get ? You get these new silly useless things they have added to corners that are SO BAD that…
High Pings / Laggy Servers
I noticed that this whole year most of my matches were either laggy in general or having lagg spikes. It was really noticable during events, which we kinda had 24/7 this year. Pings are for whatever reasons between 80-300 and it just feels like the servers are dying. Has anyone else noticed this? Because gurl I already…
Dead by Daylight Trivia! (#3)
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another trivia! Today we'll be following the regular 8 questions to test your knowledge and see if you really know the game we all love.. I also wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! There'll be a spoiler at the end of each question which will be the answer to the…
Survey questions: Why are you asking the exact same questions twice?
Both of these sets of questions are exactly the same. You just changed the position of the questions and answers. Why? Are you asking for feedback or is this a high school-type test to see if we give the same answer when asked multiple different ways? 😆
This game seriously knows how to push every button
Being blinded even though I was looking away. Being pallet stunned even though I was far away. Hit validation just loving the fact something doesn't hit even though it should or being hit when I'm over a window and far from it. Matchmaking just loving to mess with everything. If I didn't spend so much money on the game I…
Dbd needs BattlEye+EAC
The amount of cheaters and hackers I've encountered in game proves that standalone eac is useless because its easily bypassed I just encountered a Claudette jumping and flying and no clipping and a Trickster with Aimbot who instantly downed all 4 survivors through walls and a spirit who instantly downed and hooked all 4…
Anyone else have constant freezes their first game because the game is still loading everything in?
Very annoying how the game doesn't pre-load all of this… unless it's just me?
satisfaction survey
seriously?
How long does it take for a Rift skin to be made available in the store?
Pretty sure I've read that somewhere, but I don't remember the answer. There is one rift cosmetic I want from Rift 19 (or at least I think it is from that Rift, I'm not sure). How long does it take for them to be made available?
Question about "No Witness" tome challenge
It says to hit three survivors while undetectable, I equipped Tinkerer and then hit three people while undetectable but the challenge didn't complete? Am i missing something
Why do I have to do 2 invocations to activate both perks?
Why isn't it like boons where it's all in one? It's such a huge waste of time to do both!
Anyone here watch tru3's impossible streak challenge attempt today?
Will start off by saying im a tru3 fan been watching him since 2016-2017 off and on through the years His streak ended by a blatant 4-man comp swf who embarrassingly almost lost to his 1 perk 1 add on clown on the new map They also 100% sniped him lol They spammed "Ez" and kept asking tru3 to scrim in end game chat But it…
Will there something be done about body blocking????
Does this game have to be 100 years old before the Devs do something about body blocking????? I just had a matched where I wanted to play normally, the killer wanted to farm. I did the gens and didn't want to play along because it's a Michael and I have zero interest going down the all survivors get 4-man slugged at the…
I can’t progress in the event rift
I’m stuck with the first quest and I can’t do it. What can I do?
Which killer do you think needs a rework/tweak/update or addon pass?
That was one of the questions in behaviors survey. Who did you put in each category ?
Code Drops on Discord
So.. they announced they will be doing code drops on the (unofficial) Discord server I frankly don’t know which timeframe and how they are dropping the Codes or what kinda Codes (one time use, general for all…)
Why does Toba Landing and Nostromo Wreckage have separate map offerings?
Nostromo Wreckage was put in the same realm as Toba Landing, Dvarka Deepwood, however it was given its own map offering. The same was not done with Forgotten Ruins when it was added to the same realm as Decimated Borgo, so why? Was it some requirement by Disney that they have a separate offering, or what?
Even the most successful games can stumble when quality takes a backseat to profit
yo, take a look at the Steam reviews for Doomed Curse..... and you'll be left speechless. A storm of negative reviews….WOW I would not have expected that. Where has the transparency gone ? or should I rather ask: How much feedback does BHVR still need ? I understand that a company needs to make money, but is profit so much…
I just tried leverage gift of pain combo
This combo is not good and i actually think its overrated. Leverage is soo mid right now. I actually had a survivor still got a quick heal after unhook
I need some help with this
Ok so this afternoon I was playing as a Killer to complete some rituals I had pending. I was playing as the trickster on the map of The Game. There is a moment where I go to the bathrooms and there is a meg, like any Killer, I block the door for a moment so I can hit meg with my power and hurt her, which goes too well and…
General Thoughts on Hound Master, Is She in need of a nerf or not?
I'm probably biased since I'm a complete killer main and I can't say I've played survivor more than 30 times since rank one was removed, and even then I only played it in a swf I also play on console mostly so i cant really do a lot of flicks ( i main nurse on pc and has no dlcs for it) With that out of the way… Is hound…
Game Map needs a killswitch
Theres an exploit where walls have no collision and Survs are hiding in them https://x.com/Z0MBI3PANDA/status/1869821450577920117
Chucky not getting reverted
This is ridiculous you said in this screenshot you have the no plans what are you talking about you completely ruined this character for the entire chucky community and are gonna leave him like this great Job thanks alot have you not seen the poor reception like you gotta revert those changes this is insane and absolutely…
Events always show exactly why separate game modes will never work
Every event we get posts with people complaining that people are c on big into the fun silly event modes with their full META builds, double IRI add ons and items and stomping people in 5 minutes. This is exactly why a casual and comp game mode will never work in this game. There is literally an option to just play the…
Killers that AFK constantly
It’s getting annoying countering killers that do nothing but stand still the whole match, something needs to be done about that. And then we also have killers that wanna farm and it’s just like I don’t wanna participate in that get me out of the match.
New player experience (The grind and solution)
DBD had become such a massive game grind wise 38 killers and 45 survivors just getting the perks is an absurd grind. Estimate prestige 3 all characters 3 mil(1mil per prestige if cheapest items)(could use actual data for avg bhvr) 3mil x 45 survivors + 3mil x 38 killers = 249 mil… I'd probably bump it up to 280 to account…
Mori Photo showcases!
Just post you're favorite screenshots of Mori's getting photo bombed or whatever! This was my lastest. I love carrying survivors in front of hooked survivors and mori'ing survivors in front of survivor's survivor. :) Let's see'm! edit: Working on learning how to photo lol edit II: Got it :)
Tweak, Update, Rework
That question had me so confused. And then they wanted to ask what Killers we thought needed each. Were they even looking at a Killer without Addons and Perks?
Why did they nerf We’re Gonna Live Forever?
Why did they nerf it? Was it really necessary after nerfing Buckle Up?
I'm all ears undocumented buff
So I was messing around with builds lately and I noticed that Ghostface's perk 'I'm all ears' now has a duration of 8 seconds (10 with Lethal) as opposed to the 6 seconds that is listed on the wiki (both old and new!). It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the patch notes either, I checked! With the reduced cooldown on top of…
Is The New Map Meant To Be Boosted?
I keep getting sent to the Ormond realm and I'm sure it's because players want to experience the new map. But even with an offering, I find myself on Ormond Resort more often than not. Is the new map not boosted at all? I think I've only seen it 3 or 4 times myself (Killer and Survivor) and I've played plenty of trials.…
I have the fix for slugging
Slugging is connected to a perk the killer has to take otherwise survivors get base kit unbreakable when the killer is more than 10 to 20 meters away Slugging is a power the killer has unlocked once the gen count reaches three Someone else got an idea?
Merged: Finesse and lithe is OP
This discussion has been merged.
Moved: Finesse needs to be nerfed
This discussion has been moved.
Dracula Break Animation
Does it take Dracula longer to break when in Bat or Wolf form?
Would it be nice if in the next patch they add the bloody versions of the legendary skins?
The truth is that I consider that it would be something very good for all the skins that are currently legendary because for its price I would like them to be able to put on their version with blood please BHVR make it happen
Some new Chucky addons
Addon: Good Guy Doll Head Survivors who vault a pallet near you are inflicted with the Exposed Status Effect for 8 seconds Addon: Voodoo Curse Once an exit gate is powered all 4 survivors are inflicted with the exposed status effect permanently
No patch today?
I was really hoping the Mistle Toes would get fixed before too long…
Slugged and 4k at 4 gens
You devs going to fix this?
What are your most hated parts of DBD?
This has been something that has been on my mind for a while, for as much as I enjoy playing Dead By Daylight, there are some things in this game that just annoy me, whether it's bugs, intended features that shouldn't be in the game, balancing decisions that make zero sense, or just stuff that generally seems to exist for…
Thoughts on the new Ormond Map?
I haven't gotten the new map much so i figured I'd ask the community! How do you feel about the Ormond Mine? Is it good/bad? Killer/Survivor Sided etc?
What is the Junji Ito Dredge cosmetic based on?
The dredge cosmetic is by far my #1 favorite in the collection and is the first cosmetic I am going to buy, however I did some research on each characters in the collection as to where the skins are based from but I could never understand where the Dredge one comes from. Anyone know?
Leatherface Chase Theme?
I Hope Some From Behaviour Sees This, I Main Leatherface Since 2020 And I Wanted To Ask.. Are We Gonna See A Bubba Unique Chase Music Any Time Soon?
Gen rework idea
just to get it out there I’m a killer main but I’m trying survivor out with Jeff. When you balance gens around the entire game it is bound to only make things worse for everyone. Midwich is an entirely different map then mothers dwelling so their gen speeds shouldn’t be the same. Sure 90 second gens are great when the…
Death Omen and Orb of Worlds Charms
Why do I have to pay for both charms if I want them? Why do I have to buy the Terror Expansion and the Escape Expansion Pack if I want the charms? I had already bought all the killers and all the survivors extra before the launch. I think that's pretty unfair to those who did exactly the same as me. Do you feel the same…

Toxic slugging
Is it just me or does anyone else get games with killers that have extremely fragile egos and if they don't get a 4k it's like their life is over because this game is in a disgusting state game after game after game being left to slug around for 5 mins or more while killers desperately search for last there needs to be…
Slugging
Srsly people you need to learn how to play as survivor or find friends and play together. It's only your problem that last survivor doesn't help you and leave you bleeding out. It's not killer's fault that YOUR teammate doesn't care about you and won't help you. It's killer's job to kill ALL survivors and if last one is…
Win criteria for survivor and killer
This might seem like an obvious thing as it has generally been considered a win for survivor is escape. Hatch is draw death is loss. Killers win is 3/4k. 2k being a draw and 0/1k being a loss. However I think many people are slowly realising that these "win" criterias are only wins based on MMR. People can't see MMR and…
