Survivor cosmetics not showing up
The rest of my characters as well. BHBR, please help to fix the issues. Thanks.
When are Spirit and Sadako going to get their bugs fixed?
Both characters have had gameplay bugs for a year / more than a year now. I know the team has acknowledged them but when can we finally expect fixes?
Silent stun grenade and wraith add-ons are not fixed after all?
I've played the game for 5 or 6 hours since the latest patch came in, and the title issue still seems to be buggy and unfixed. What am I to believe from the official announcement?
Double Invocation...
Why do they require 2 cast, why can it not work like Boon 1 cast? Another reason why Invocation should never be ran such terrible design.
Hope this works!
Given the amount of negativity on the forums, lets 'try' to write up some things we like about the game or even.. 'the other side'. I want to see if this thread can live without it getting negative lol. I like killers with personality and quirky actions that make the trial humorous while still keeping it a 'run for your…
I didn’t understood the distortion change
This means we have to be chased for 30 seconds to get one token or we get a tokens instantly when the chase starts?
Bhvr's recent twitter reply
I would sincerely hope they actually listen to the Chucky players who are frustrated about the recent changes to them and not ignore this issue for several months
Is the game getting worse QA wise?
The Houndmaster was released as one of the most bugged killers in existence, second only to The Twins. While BHVR managed to fix most of the issues within a few weeks, it highlights a bigger problem: their chapter release timeline is hurting them. Had they taken a few extra weeks for polishing before launch, the backlash…
(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…
Unfun facts:
Over the past 3 months: All the killers I've played against have had the exact same strategy Sulg the 3rd survivor to looking for 4th survivor, Some killers were not satisfied with 3 and a half minutes, they went as far as carrying the survivor who was 5 seconds away from death and Hooking the survivor to milk more time.…
Still Not Receiving Twitch Drops
Does anyone else have this issue? I never got twitch drops (in game) from redeemed drops through Twitch. I did not get any drops from the Castlevania chapter release OR the most recent Christmas event drops. Yes, I have my Twitch linked to my Bhvr account, yes I did disconnect and reconnect all connections before redeeming…
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…
Wholesomeness is gone
Had a game against an Artists on the new map, for context - this is my first time on the new map & I'm really excited because I love it from what I'd seen. It's the Christmas event game mode, new map & while some games can go silly & fun, some if not most play out like normal DbD. There in lies the problem, the game played…
Isnt there a new map?
2 entire days I haven't gotten it once.
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…
What do Survivors want?
I played Freddy on mothers dwelling got a 11 hooks while giving last one the hatch. I didnt tunnel even as a Kate tryes desperately to bodyblock after her hook. I used Bamboozle, Noed, because I m freking Freddy, Coup de Grace and Pop. So again what do Survivors want?
Many Scream Queens but I think only One Scream King.
Which I think is Ash, also as the final guy too, though recently I think we can add DBD Steve to this list, I may get his screams as my ring tone lol.
What's the point in playing Spirit when Dracula exists ?
Like seriously, Dracula's Bat form is essentially a Spirit's phasing with unlimited duration which bypasses vaults and dropped vaults (and can even block them with an add-on) and even if you somehow screw up with that you're still a 115% speed killer with 2 other anti loop abilities (or you can just use the bats again…
Unfair Disconnect
BHVR, maybe it's time to do something about the quality of your servers, because I've been disconnected several times without justification and temporarily banned just for starting a simple match. I get a free 15-minute timeout, and yet we’re still left wondering why players who just want to play normally and who paid €20…
How would Myers be like if he was released in 2024 instead of 2016?
Killers nowadays are pretty strong and are b tier at worst. Lowkey kind of a shame that all the iconic killer's came out early in dbd since they have very simple or mediocre powers. Bubba, Freddy, ghostface and myers are mega iconic slashers and are probably the most popular of their genre but in game they are pretty much…
Does pain resonance even have to be a scourge hook anymore
when the perk first released obviously it had to be a scourge hook but know there is only 4 uses ( one for each survivor ). The main problem with Pain resonance is that you have unnecessary RNG. Jagged compass doesn’t help this perk it helps every other SH perk because they are activated everytime someone is on a hook. I…
Seeking ideas
So I've had it stuck in my head for a while of making my Hag the equivalent of the Blair Witch on my game and with the recent re-release of the Family Knowledge cosmetic where the symbol behind her head looks like the stick figure, I'm rattling around in my head trying to figure out some appropriate perks to run on her.…
Skull Merchant set a bad precedent
So recently, Houndmaster's add on 'knotted rope' was nerfed massively. Knotted Rope - basic attack cooldown when hitting grabbed survivors is reduced by 2% (Down from 10%) If that sounds terrible, it is. BHVR, by their own words, made this add on intentionally horrifically bad and unusable so that way they could 'avoid it…
Is it true that crawling depletes your bleedout timer faster?
I've heard a Streamer say this twice in the past 24 hours but have never heard this before... I thought if slugged it is a 4 minute bleedout. Is it true that crawling while slugged will make you die faster?
The wiki has migrated
Hi, i don't run the wiki or anything but i thought i'd share here that the DBD wiki has moved from fandom to wiki.gg. The fandom site will not be updated anymore, so use the new site for up to date information.
Houndmaster mistletoes
Unless I'm wrong, she has no way to use these right? Like she cant even play the gamemode? So why am I still getting them in all my webs? Its literally just wasting points. Can we have them taken out of her bloodweb or be refunded the points spent on them?
Please someone explain.
Over the years Ive seen a lot of weird stuff, but please someone explain this to me:
4000 hours as survivor and tunneled out in 2 seconds
Hi. I have 4000 hours in the game. But that doesn't mean what it did a year, two year, or especially three years ago. I play survivor mainly and in Solo Q. For reference, I've been playing since 2018. I would describe myself as a causal gamer. Most of my games I get tunneled out immediately. Either I'm matched with a…
I Played Three Event (Bone Chill) Games in a Row and Didn't Get ANY Event Points
Create snowmen, hit other with snowskulls, finish gens - it doesn't matter. The event meter in-game can be half full or more, but at the end game screen, I only get points for the normal game interactions and NONE for the event interactions. Yes, I am in the event queue, otherwise how would there be snowmen and snowskulls?…
Almost a week since Chucky received his nerf
It's almost been a week now since his initial nerf and after play a few more games, while he's not bad strength wise (probably like mid B) he's just an absolute slog and no longer fun to play anymore Doesn't help that these changes weren't in the ptb as this would've give big feedback from the community before it made it…
Can the devs explain how people are supposed to play against singularity at endgame?
This keeps happening every time I have a singularity match so I’m curious to to play around this. Match plays out until we get down to last gens and there are 3 gens left. Then this happens: Whether or not it’s a tight or close 3 gens the killer places all bipods over gens and supply cases with EMPS. There are only 3 gens…
How are we thinking about Ormond lake mine?
How is everyone feeling about the new map balance wise? I think it’s the most balanced map they have released in a while. The map isn’t too big and isn’t too small, the fillers are nice but not insane like eyrie, the tiles are evenly spread apart, the main building is good but not overbearingly good like goj or badham. The…
Can't take the tunnelers.
Every single event game, slug and tunnel without fail. The first one hooked gets tunneled out. We try to be altruistic and help out but we just lose because of it. This game doesn't reward survivors for working together when there's no incentive for killers not to tunnel. We just need to accept the fact that one person…
Are y'all getting BP for Mistle Toes and incentives?
As Killer, I'm getting one or the other. I either am getting the 50% incentive or the Mistle Toes offering. Never both. And if I use Mistle Toes sometimes I get nothing, literally 0 bp for event scores in endgame total.
Who was your Killer main BEFORE your current Killer main?
For me believe it or not used to be Pinhead. I used to dabble in other Killers here and there but I'd say pins and needles is who I've dedicated the most time to prior than myself. Something about consistent Chain Hunts has always been fun for me. How about you?
Seriously, calm down already during special events.
This event has been live a matter of hours and people on both sides are playing like sweaty tournament players. These are for BP and cosmetic farming and it's supposed to be a fun little "break" from the normal aspect of play. I played as a survivor twice and the killers were looking to wipe the game out in 5 minutes of…
Will devs ever fix "crouch tech"?
"Crouch tech" is a problem that has been in the game for years and has been reported several times, including by content creators like Henz, and the devs never said nothing about that. It's very frustrating when you use the Demogorgon, Billy, Nemesis and Blight's power and the survivors just crouch in front of you making…
Taurie Cane being targeted
With the release of the new chapter came taurie cain with a fairly decent anti tunnel perk to help trade hook states. I have had three different killers today who openly admitted to targeting me and tunneling me specifically because of that perk. The thing is…I wasn't even running it. what are your thoughts on this? Is…
2v8 - why is this a temporary mode?
Ok so I posted I think in August or something last year praising the devs for the game mode, and subsequently lamenting it being removed and promising to return when the mode comes back. A friend told me it was back recently and I only recently remembered, so I've checked in today and found out the mode was out only…
My BP is being spent on offerings I cant use.
I play a lot of houndmaster however she is kill switched for the Winter Event..I am still spending 2k per offering in my bloodweb. If I don't get to play the event with her, I shouldn't have to pay 2k per offering that comes up in my blood web. It sounds small, but it adds up to be a lot of BP I am losing. Sure I dont have…
What are the most common non-meta perks you see frequently?
Lightweight on Survivors. Every Killer game I play has at least 2 or 3 and I'm seeing 👀 a lot of Spies from the Shadows on Killers I go against. Edit: I just had 4 lightweights lol this perk is meta now lol 😆
The Event offering isn't working, can it be kill switched or fixed?
The mistle toes offering doesn't actually award you post trial with extra BP, infact when you bring this offering you don't get any event BP at all, it's better to bring no offering. Considering that, can it be kill switched until it's fixed?
Live Restart feature just doesn't work
I remember they added this feature in a patch some time ago but players that have kept their game open haven't been prompted to restart and they can still play houndmaster in bone chill. Not sure if it ever worked but it isn't right now…
Has anyone seen a single Winter Chest this event?
I've had the winter chest challenge equipped for like 5 rounds and have gone around the map in each match and have yet to see a single one. Do they just not exist?
Does Anyone Else Get Scared by Jeff's Cosmetic?
I just can't with this cosmetic lol 😆 I have not seen it in a while but I literally started lobby dodging over it. Every single time I get someone wearing this in SoloQ, they come running up to a Generator I'm working on before the Killer is revealed and I think Jeff is Myers and I blow up the Generator 😆 It literally jump…
Do you have any ideas for new perks that could be run on BOTH Killers and Survivors?
I do! My bloodpoints perk idea! Bloodpoints Hunter Gain 50/75/100% Bloodpoints in all categories. Also, Left Behind could easily have the exact same use for Killers as it does for Survivors. Monstrous Shrine could extend your hook time if the Killer is within X meters. I think shared perks would be a cool idea 💡 Do you…
Losing thrill of the hunt 1 minute into the game.
Tru3 lost Thrill 1 minute into the game losing half his build. The change was significant enough to not allow him to defend the totem. What is the point of totem perks that are not effective at allowing the killer to protect the totem?
Thank you developers for the Kill-switches
Thank you developers for kill-switching The Houndmaster in the event modifier and for disabling Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater cosmetic in both. I've faced some Baermars with this cosmetic after more people realized/noticed that this cosmetic has a bug that gives you a big advantages in chase. Other players also noticed the…
New thrill is better than undying
In an age where totem spawns simultaneously suck, and are common knowledge, embracing the fact that your totems will be removed makes you ask the question what can you do about it? The answer's simple: Defend the totem and capitalize on said defense. With 12% per token, the first totem will be 35 seconds, which is enough…
Why the Houndmaster's Legendary outfit is overpriced compare to the others?
