Is post rework Knight just bad?
I've only just played Knight for the first time after the rework and he just feels bad. I dont even wanna say he is bad outright, but something is weird and doesnt feel good. I've looked at posts from when the rework was fresh, but it all just sounds and feels like they added unneeded complexity and counterplay that I…
does the dracula castle always spawn when playing him?
pretty cool if so
The event offering is bugged?
I started this match with 100% bonus and i had the event offering, so i just received the double points from 100% matchmaking incentive. Where is the event offering's bonus? that bonus isnt inside the 32334 points.
Give people a way to earn BPs during endgame - teabagging at the gates disappears overnight
If Killers and Survivors have something to do during the endgame, it'll encourage actual engagement during the endgame (e.g. not just standing still, waiting for Survivors to leave), If the Survivors / Killers choose not to engage one another, at least you'll have something to do to earn points. Thoughts? I know this might…
Idea for the Blair Witch in DBD
Now obviously I don't mean having the actual Blair Witch as a killer in the game, but I think it would be really cool to have the story incorporated in some way. Some ideas would be: Having the main characters as survivors (Heather Donahue, Michael Williams, and Joshua Leonard). Having the Blair Witch symbol as a charm.…
Are The "Happy" Snowmen Gone? :(
Have you seen this man? He has gone missing… Ive searched for what feels like forever trying to find one and I havent. I feel like the happy, inflatable snowmen got removed and just fully replaced with the fleshy, rotting snowmen instead. Which is a shame since I actually liked the mix of both, it gave this decent mix of…
Bloodweb resetting
There is a bug happening on Bloodweb, where the game is resetting your bloodweb, and you lose your BP's, prestige and levels on characters.. This has been reported already in the "Bug Reporting" section, but just a heads up for people who might not be aware of the bug ATM
What are people thoughts on recent Chucky changes?
Hello all, I would like to know what everyone thinks about recent Chucky changes. As for me who sometimes likes to play him, I think it's too much. The speed nerf on dash is the worst since it feels clunky now and way easier to dodge. I don't feel playing safe this character regulary considering how offten he is changed.…
Moving snowman are problematic
The body blocking is one thing but getting stuck because of them is wild. Also seeing them spawn on top of things like boxes or goop piles in midwich is great -_-
Thoughts on event
At first I enjoyed the event, was fun having snowmen around and killers being stealthy. But already it's run it's course for me. Snowmen are always getting in my way as survivor and killer. I like the indoor maps, but they are unplayable with the snowmen blocking the corridors and stairs. RPD in particular is a nightmare.
NEW KILLER IDEA: THE SPIDER QUEEN
THE SPIDER QUEEN GENDER: Woman ORIGIN: Greek REALM: Temple of Athena / Shrine ofAphrodit POWER: Arachnid's Embrace POWER ATTACK TYPE: Basic Attack MOVEMENT SPEED: 110% / 4.4m/ TERROR RADIUS: 20 meters LULLABY RADIUS: 40 meters HEIGHT: Tall DESCRIPTION: She has the upper body of a Woman, and lower body of a Spider, and one…
Would bundling maps together in realms solve the map offering issue for now?
Lately, I have noticed that a lot of people have been complaining about how annoying map offerings are, and how they offer an advantage to whoever uses them. With that, these people have been calling for the deletion of map offerings. The problem is that this would seriously hinder achievement hunters and people that just…
Reporting people for not playing the way you want is hilarious
Just had a match where myself and one other person decided to run around throwing snowballs and getting event points. With it being rank re-sweats all the slugging tunneling and camping killers are afoot. After 3 matches of that I decided “cool I’ll just min max the event until I die and go next” I ended up taking all 3 of…
Will there be Shoulder The Burden changes in hotfix 2?
Will there be Shoulder The Burden changes in hotfix 2? BHVR already made an official announcement that Thrill of the Hunt will be changed in hotfix 2, but didn’t say if hotfix 2 will have Shoulder The Burden changes?
Can we get some detailed statistics on slugging?
While i appreciate this data, i wish for some more detailed ones, because there are so many variables that can explain survivors getting slugged for more than 35+% total that are legit and explained. Killer power based: Setting traps. Reloading as Huntress/Deathslinger/Trickster Placing an almost ready hallucinations.…
the ping on the new Event has increased
in a separate event, ping is 105-115 and in normal mode 60-70 what should I do?
Event BP Is...Pathetic?
I think it's like 12-15k more than regular games if I really push the event BP hard and have the room to do this. Aside from the admittedly cool tome rewards, this feels really blah.
Revert Hellfire Nerf (Dracula)
Still no changes to Dracula, 10 seconds is way too long on Hellfire. Didn't need a nerf. Quote from my previous discussion: Increasing Hellfire's cooldown just adds clunk for those who enjoy using Vampire more, we shouldn't be forced to play wolf. It should be "hey this tile works well with wolf-form, let me use it" not…
Blood Hunt/Feast Incoming?
Seeing people talk about this as a reason why event BP is so terrible. Is it just gossip? Anyone know dates? Just need to find my crowbar to get me away from Marvel Rivals XD
Moved: trevor belmont - nova habilidade
This discussion has been moved.
There shouldn't be any "give up" option
Why so many people are talking about "give up" option when killer slugs whole team? Like, what do you think would happen if BHVR introduce something like that? Killers would stop slug, because ???? Slugging would skyrocket because it would be the fastest and most efficient (countering anti-tunnel perks, unhook beneficial…
Scene partner
As someone who started using this perk can we maybe lower the scream volume?
Revert Houndmaster NOW!
What were the devs even THINKING? Was ANY playtesting done at all? Or did they just want to appease all the crybaby killer mains who were upset about Chucky rightfully getting nerfed, so they brought old scamper back into the game. This killer is an instant DC now. Literally no counterplay at any tile if the user has a…
Houndmasters dog 🐕 doesn’t keep up.
Had Meg had another loop or 2 to go through the dog would have STILL been lagging behind to where I couldn’t use my power. Could I just stop to get him back? Of course! Should I have to? No. The dog finally went on cooldown AFTER downing Meg. This was a 30 second wait. As I keep coming across this stuff I will put the…
Ain’t No Way
Ain’t no way they nerfed Machine Learning. No one used it! Who told them to do that? 😭
Is the mistle toe offering bugged?
I have been using this offering all day and not once have I seen in the endgame screen say “bone chill bonus.” In fact, when I don’t use the offering I get a bone chill bonus at the end but it never breaks 10k. I wonder if the coding accidentally gives you a -100% bone chill score event on the offerings because the…
Houndmaster is not the new scamper killer and we should have another Higher tier killer in the game
YouTubers want views Twitter user want engagement And people generally don't like strong killers, that's why they're saying this Most of these clips I see are of snug getting grabs at vaults that other killers also could have gotten as well, like deathslinger and pyramid head etc… Don't get me wrong I'm not saying she's…
Houndmaster and Doctor chase theme
Is it just me or are both themes kind of similar? I know Houndmasters chase theme was changes from the ptb, but it now sounds like a different version of Doctors theme.
Hello
Hello can someone help me please I have a question
P2W Ugly Sweater - Basekit Iron Will/Calm Spirit
Not seeing anyone talk about this but Aestri's ugly harp sweater is broken. When you use it, all voice audio is completely silent so you have no breathing, no grunts of pain, no screams, and no fall grunting, paired with light footed and lightweight and you're virtually a ghost.
The dumbest nitpick all week
.…Why? Why aren't the banners and icons marked as event rarity? It's driving my OCD to places that I can not explain
The Houndmaster is still Dogshit as ever.
It doesn't matter how many bugfixes and buffs she gets, she will stay in Dogshit tier. She is just the opposite of Skull Merchant only she lets all the survivors escape without effort from the survivor side and they love her. Is behaviour so scared to make a good killer? I'm bored of facing houndmaster because she's so…
Is it possible to beat good survivors with current Skull Merchant?
I used to play her back in the day but it's been awhile. Just a few quick opinions on here to see if the attempt is worth the time.
"Nerf into oblivion now, fix 'some time' next year" needs to STOP!
The Twins "rework" and the outright murder of The Skull Merchant set a disgusting precedent that Behavior seems to be running with at full speed. If they personally don't like something in the game, the new balancing philosophy seems to be "intentionally break it to the point of uselessness and fix it some time in the next…
At this point killers are just asking for unbreakable basekit
To preface this: I very very rarely play survivor. Im mostly a killer main and have like 90% of my hours on killer. Today I decided to do some challenges from the archives for survivor and the experience has just been absolutely miserable. First of all the killers I got were some prestige 100 nurse and blights 8 games in a…
The wind on the lobby sounds like U2
Is it just me? Or does the wind in the background of the lobby for the winter event occasionally sound like the high pitched guitar from With or Without You by U2?
BHVR - Do you have plans for better installments?
When it comes to the health of the game, balances on perks, killers, reworks. Are we going to be able to get these more often? This seems to be the biggest gripe people have with the game in terms of frustration is how LONG everything takes to get done. Maybe the process needs to be more refined, or maybe it’s due to…
Is the nurse bugged as well now?
I just played a game as the nurse and several times the first blink fully charged would cancel itself, making me waste time
Argument (survivors don't want to learn the counter-play against specific killers).
This argument assumes that all those who play the role of the survivor have a unified mind and do not have different mentalities, and this is what is called “generalization”, So they have one decision and one mind. Let me tell you this is one of the worst arguments I have ever seen, however this is not the fault of the…
The event and stuttering
Am I the only one who rubberbands across the map during this event? Genuinely unplayable
Edit: Network connection in Bone chill event is currently broken.
Edit: In Bone chill event, players are having higher ping, rubberbanding and disconnection issues.
What New Banner and Badge is BHVR talking about? It's not in the Advent Calendar. 🤔
Wesker is problematic
His high mobility, the fact that he insta pickup survivors who are hurt OR are fully infected and last but not least the slowdown from being fully infected make Wesker a little tunnel paradise. I am not surprised by the amount of Wesker players tunneling (as this has never been an issue before haha). His power is forgiving…
Any tips to escape in solo queue?
Lately been running Small Game, Overzealous, Counterforce and Inner Strength due to Thrill being buffed and seeing so many totem builds (would love to run my fave perks but can't sadly) and every game I'm just going everywhere cleasning every totem I can find all while my teammates go down left and right and barely do gens…
I made a funny DBD song
There is no reason to nerf a killer when Nurse exists
what the title says how is chucky keep getting nerfed but nurse isnt getting touched like ever he isnt even that awful to play against like seriously biggest joke in 2024 and dont start with "nurse takes skill" she doesnt especially not in this era of the game
PLZ TURN ON MMR FOR WINTER EVENT GAME'S UNPLAYABLE
why am i getting 200 hour console robots that average 10 second chases and get 2 tapped instantly? game is literally unplayable plz fix this garbage it's absolutely disgusting
Did they give the dog crack
This is why we test things in the ptb
Still no answers on the Chucky nerf
I don't get it, the nerf wasn't announced, we're now stuck with it till January (or even longer if BHVR just goes with "we'll fix it later" like they always do). What's the point of a PTB if you're just gonna throw huge changes like this into damn bug-fixes? And then you just ignore all that has been said about him, or at…
