The 20% bonus regression is not basekit pop
Its 20% of your base 5%. Meaning it makes your kick do 6% instead. Just as an FYI for everyone saying "you get basekit pop"

Myers cosmetics
In light of the myers rework i think its the PERFECT time to introduce some more myers cosmetics notably halloween kills and the Rob Zombie myers. I know the modern halloween franchise is a diffrent IP but seeing as BHVR Interactive has a "good" relationship with universal (the license holders to the modern halloween…

So is Sadako gonna die after this update?
just curious because if you get a kill before 6 hook stages you are being hit with 2 nerfs and the survivors get a gen speed boost. Doesn’t that make playing Sadako actively detrimental since you aren’t allowed to condemn kill somebody until you hit six hook stages and at that point, someone is already going to be on death…

The new patch is good for the DBD and here why
That means most killers must play in a very specific way or just stop playing the game. And that's good because then the devs will focus on making bot killers to entertain the survivors. Now, let's be honest, these numbers are hideous, and the only two reasons why devs do that 1) They plan to lower the numbers and only do…

Tomorrow will be the juiciest of days!
The forums have been ablaze with users expressing their approval of the new system while others express their disdain. All will be revealed in the Discord presentation and brought to life in the PTB! Who will be 'right?' Who will 'eat Crow?' Will things work as planned? Will the new killer be fun? What new perks will…

Ptb noob question
Ifbitsblike your first time playing PTB, does it show you like no progress on killers then suddenly rank them when you access the bloodied? Or refund Auricecell/giving you 12500?
-
This is a joke, right?
"Now you can use Hellfire more" HALF A SECOND REDUCTION?! REALLY?! Also Medusa's Hair was already trash and now it went from 3 to 2s duration. You could have used this opportunity to make his add-ons as interesting as Pyramid Head ones, but you just basically nerfed 90% of them.

Did monitor just get a nerf or a side grade ?
When it comes to percentage I feel like with killers with lower terror radius might have gotten a nerf from this change And if so then it is not a good change in my opinion

Why I’m excited about 9.2.0
This might be controversial but I’m the only one who’s very hyped for this update and I’ll explain why For 9 years the biggest problem in dbd was not actually addressing the issue of tunneling and slugging directly. It was always band aid fixes. Don’t want to get tunneled? Run DS, OTR, BT. Don’t want to get slugged run…

4K Mindset is the Problem
I am mostly a Survivor player, Solo. I believe that the general mindset for Killer mains is 4K or bust. 2k and 3k is considered a loss. This never should have been the consistent obtainable goal as Killer with 2k and 3k being average or normal. 4k should have been rare and not easy to achieve but 4k-ing has been common. I…

Will you guys consider reverting vanity mirror rework?
If i am being honest 4s aura reading only when tier 3 ends is a HUGE insane gutted butchering for users like me that wanted to play myers both stalking and relying on aura + having 4.6ms speed and benefits of tier 3 in old myers. Scratched mirror was confirmed to be in game still as it is probably untouched 4.2ms still and…

Questions for The Devs
/When will there be a Anti Gen Rushing/: because Gen Speeds are gonna be a problem later on and sense Tunneling is no longer a option anymore will there be a way to Address to make the Killer not need to do this strategy: /Will There Be a Anti Bully/Sabotaging Squads/: Sense Slugging will be much harder to and that means…

Just gonna stay it.
We Killers where right. We had every right to be concerned. 25% gen speeds and no Gen regression if we tunnel. Thats not suppressing it that's removing it and punishing them. Im not testing this crap when I know its bad. Im not playing a game that punishes me for doing my objective. Im no longer playing Killer im retiring…

Can We Not Go Through With How PTBs are now loaded?
So you want people to opt into a PTB where absolutely nothing is leveled up, can't access Wraith or David anymore because they're locked behind tutorials that you locked in PTB? Doesn't this defeat the purpose? So if there's a bug with Wraith and someone wanted to try a new perk on Wraith in PTB, we just won't find out…

Warning if you do not own the Hellraiser DLC but do own Cenobite
You are unable to use Pinhead in the PTB if you do not own the Hellraiser DLC. Please make sure you have it if you wish to test the changes with the new system using him. You also need to rebuy any characters you may have bought with Iris or Auric Cells in main game, and do not have any of your cosmetics, including Deep…

Y'all need to remember that this is a PTB
This is a PTB which means that these changes will be tested and hopefully adjusted until it makes a nice balance. The changes are not final, everything you're dooming about isnt in the main game. Let's all be patient and see how things play out. (I am going to be honest though that if in testing the changes prove to be…

Is the new killer's ability the combination of the Plague and the Nemesis?
Maybe not but it was the impression I got while reading the killer power description, looking at the terms like "whip" and "meter", while there is similar thing to foundation to reduce this "meter".

What triggers the anti-tunneling punishments??
Here's where Im confused and would really like a little bit of information. If a survivor is hooked and is left to die on hook do the survivors still get the speed bonus? Also, if you were playing like Trapper, if they go into the dying state and choose not to pick themselves up and die [unlikely but still possible] will…

Is this version of 2v8 fun for you?
For me...Killer no it isn't…Survivor...eh Killer Queue times but that's always been a problem Basically your s—t out of luck if your not playing with someone on comms because you have no way to communicate what you can do Escapist kinda can just have the ability to use Sprint Burst whenever they like Gen rushing is a major…

Punishing killers for completing their objective?
So killer is getting severely punished for completing their objective? I get that being tunneled sucks, and I personally try to avoid it, but if the same survivor is playing poorly/annoyingly and constantly coming into contact with me, I shouldn’t have to pretend I don’t see them like I’m playing hide and seek with a 3…
-
I'm watching the discord live stream
And now I can safely say that: DBD is gonna die if these changes go live Sorry, but almost all changes are bad. The Shape rework should have been a couple of add-ons change, not basekit. If the current Shape can still be played with add-ons, why not the other way around? Anti-tunnel is just too much and it will not promote…
-
Will Twins get a compensation buff?
So with the new anti slug changes announced for the 9.2.0 PTB, I find it odd that while Oni got compensated for it with more blood orbs spawning after hooking a survivor, feels odd that Twins hasnt gotten a compensation. Is there plans to give compensation for them even if not in this chapter?
-
This Is Atrocious
I hate Wesker as much as everyone else in the game, but putting him in 2v8 was bad. A bad decision. Survivors have been dealing with his dash grab that you can be downed out of by the other Killer this whole time? Same reason I have a problem with Deathslinger sniping me while being chased by the other Killer so they get a…

Michael's Add-on
Rather than using an add-on to use the pre-rework Michael, wouldn't it be better to use an add-on to unlock the reworked abilities? You say you can use the old Michael, but in reality it's the old Michael with one add-on slot taken away, so it's not really "you can use the old Michael."

Would you buy the new killer if there are no changes after PTB 9.2.0?
Tittle.

Are more people working with the killers?
After the amount of people that have been (seemingly) working with the killers is insane. I've seen it 3 times just today. Like at the end of the game letting me die on 2nd hook while the killer watches them finish the last gen. Is anyone else dealing with this? (And yes I pull my own weight I considered that)
-
Time out for cheating is wild
They acknowledged the cheating, but if you quit when someone cheats against you, you still get locked out. And I understand the problem with rage quitting, but come on. If you're getting tunneled left and right because killers are mad then it's just not fun. And I play killer so I'm not talking about the survivors that are…
-
This is starting to piss me off
I really dislike in 2v8 how, whenever you select a class, it changes automatically whenever: 1. You select a different survivor 2. After 4/4 people already picked it and you get forced into a different one, but it even stores the forced different one for the next match, instead of the original one you picked I feel like…

Developers, go play killer.
After reading your patch notes there’s no question you guys have no idea how killers are played, the time it takes to kill a survivor and the knowledge you requiere to actually challenge good / decent survivors. If you are going to balance your game for people that have no skill, are new or are just messing around, you are…

Objectivity vs emotional reactions
After the latest PTB patch notes were released, it was no surprise that it divided the community, most arguments and comments diluded into us vs them. Regardless of what side a player is voicing their opinion from, I think it now more important now than ever to be objective about these changes. Unbiased and looking at the…

A Basement Hot Take
So as Im writing this I don't really think it's a good idea but my thoughts are what if all Killer powers are disabled while in the basement and all Killers move at 115% or 4.6 m/s. That would mean no more traps in basement, no more insta downs, no teleporting, etc.. it would also not let survivors use killer items such as…

9.2.0 patch
The 9.20 patch makes Dead by Daylight less fun by adding dumb restrictions like blocking generators and speeding up gen progress when a survivor dies, which only makes the game feel restrictive and snowbally. These changes reward bad survivor gameplay, letting players who recklessly stay in the killer’s face still get…

Patch 9.2.0 will destroy the balance
Well, I see a lot of people panicking and even outraged about the 9.2.0 preview, and with good reason. I understand that many hate tunneling and the slug, but there are already perks in the game to counteract this. In my opinion, the devs want to make the game easier for the survivor instead of improving bad perks that no…

Why is there no MMR?
People constantly claim DBD has mmr, but its just not true. Every single match recently, I play against people with 10x my hours, and I end with 3 hooks max. Next patch completely kills killer on top of that, so what am I meant to do? Uninstall? I wait 15 minutes just to get ######### on every match, and my apparently…

On the Anti Tunneling
I have been thinking, about the Anti-Tunneling, specifically on the gen regression and block prevention. Isn't this also semi targeting those matches when the Suvivor gives up immediately? Like you find them and they stop moving or stay under the hooks? Because a killer trying to prevent the regression/block prevention…

Is the PTB on Tuseday or Wednesday available?
So, usually a PTB drops on Tuseday and even in the developer update they said next Tuseday (September 2nd) is the release of the PTB. However, the social media accounts just dropped a new teasers that says the PTB will be on September 3rd (Wednesday). So, which one is true?

Are killers the only one that generate uninteractive gameplay?
I understand that the changes coming to ptb, are because sluggin and tunneling are boring playstyles to the receiving end, because they reduce their interation with the game, therefore i can agree with making the game more frenetic, but wouldnt that have to include immersing and gen rush? Both reduce the interaction the…

I think this patch will finally make me want to play the game again
Honestly reading everything about his patch seems great It might actually revive the survivor players by making it so not every game is a confirmed loss Killer players will now get into matches much faster because of it aswell they get basekit bbq! Literally all killer players need to do is not tunnel and theyre given…
