Anti slugging and SWF sabos
Is BHVR going to address survivors that bring a Sabo build? When they do these type of builds, they tend to bring unbreakable or boon exponential because they know killers will drop and slug to try and counter this game play. Now a survivor just needs to be slugged for 90 seconds once in order to always have built in…

so there is aparently a way to break Vecna's skeletons
i was just playing on The Game. (unfortunately not recording so i can't provide a clip) and when i tried to throw the FotD at a raised pallet i was a little closer than i meant to and got stunned at the same time as i pressed activate. the skeletons flew off mid stun in a raised diagonal and then that power was completely…

Almo appreciation post.
Some of you may remember that a former dbd balance dev (Almo) has left the company this January and with the knowledge of the next patch I can confidently say that ever since he left the game gone down hill. It´s been a revert after a revert this year, first it was xenomorph, than artist´s addons, than after that the…

The next PTB should offer more rewards to participants
It's clear to everyone that the updates included in the next PTB will significantly change the game of DbD. Therefore, I believe it's necessary to collect even more data than ever before. This is because the behavior of literally every killer will change dramatically. Early reduction in numbers and DbD (or rather,…

Why the newest update could be good
The recent anti-tunneling and slugging changes seem to punish killers, but I believe they could be a hidden opportunity for a healthier game. By clearly defining what they don't want (slugging/tunneling), BHVR has essentially forced themselves to address the root cause: some killers need those tactics to win. If the…

Tutorial will need a complete rework
There's already a lot of systems that have been introduced to the game that simply are not explained in the tutorial or anywhere diagetically (in-game). I don't think it even covers hexes, and they've been in the game since like 2017. Add in the proposed changes and there's a lot of new basekit information and events that…

Im Kinda Done with DBD rn
Sense Killer is now being punished for doing there Job and morely I play is killer its obvious that the Devs don't want Killers in there Game. The Gens Already go Very fast as it is and honestly my Main Unknown being Buffed isn't enough Unless there is gonna be a huge change to how Killer doesn't need to tunnel and Slug im…

When did Myers become Tony Hawk?
I watched a known streamer react to Myers upcoming well, on the road map his changes are road kill. His rush just looks like he hopped on a keyboard, isn't Myers meant to be stealth, stalking etc? I mean have changes really worked well for other Killers? (coughs "Freddy") The community needs to be listened to a lot more,…

Hear me out, I actually think that the update is good
So, if you have ever seen me around these forums, you know that I'm the biggest advocate for killer rights, and 9 times out of 10 I have criticism to how the devs have been handholding survivors all the time since Skull Merchant got her first rework. That being said, I actually think that the update the devs announced…

The best way to deal with tunneling
Go for the points Don't need to go with details on how it should work, but basically: -Killer spread hooks and all survivor escapes They get around 40k to 50k points from the match -Killer hard tunnels survivors and kill everybody They get around 5-7k points So it's all about their choice. They pick which type of fun they…

Will Grades Be Reworked Now That Tunneling Is Decentivised? (Kills Determines Killer Pips)
Tunneling is essentially the best way to progress your killer grade at the moment, and now that getting kills this way is harder, can it be switched to be based on accumulated hook stages instead? (Reward evenly hooking)

If you had to a pick 1 non horror themed or horror adjacent licence to be added what would it be?
Just curious what your guy's most wanted IP that does not really fit in DBD. For me I kinda want to see Scooby Doo cause it would be funny to see them get chased by springtrap of all people
-
The killer meta for non dash killers is going to be endgame builds pretty much
Practically speaking, if the PTB changes go live, all generator perks other than Corrupt are permanently dead. That means a shift to NOED and gate blocking meta for all non mobility killers, since, with the new changes, you will effectively be unable to regress gens for most of the match if you are playing remotely…

I thought one dbd match was actually 4 1v1s for the killer?
behaviour did a Q&A in 2021 where they said that a killer killing a survivor counts as a win while if a survivor escapes that counts as a win for that individual survivor. In this same clip they say that one dbd match is basically 4 1v1s for the killer. If that's how this game works then why are we getting the antitunnel…

I am leaving dbd
killer is now at its worse in years and will only get worse next update. Want to kill a survivor? Nope! you'll get punished by not being allowed to kick gens. Want to kick gens? Nope! you're limited on gen kicks and gen kicking is barely impactful. Want to get someone out quickly? Nope! the rest of the survivors will be…
-
These changes are far too abusable.
With these changes, survivors can simply force the killer to tunnel. Off the hook? Chase the killer. Follow them literally everywhere so that you're always in position to flashy save or pallet save. If the killer downs you while doing this, they wont pick up because they get punished for it. And then you get up thanks to…

Guess on the Numbers
So as we all argue over how the next patch will destroy DbD for ever and ever, one of the big things is we don't have any numbers. This most likely intentional on BHVR's part to stir interest over the weekend. Now we could do the reasonable thing and all calm down and wait just a couple of days for the actual numbers. But…

Dracula Changes 9.2.0
Hi everyone, My name is Bleak and I am a Dracula main that has devoted so much time into this character to the point where I only have mained this character since his release and even PTB alone. I wanted to cover the Dracula changes and I know we don't have the numbers yet until the actual PTB notes but I did want to raise…

DBD is a ONE vs FOUR game
Across the internet in the discourse that is the PTB changes a common argument against the changes is that every killer except the top 5-10 will be unplayable as they cannot win games without forcing a 1v3. This is a confusing point because it's a 1v4 game. Being able to consistently force a 1v3 is inherently unbalanced…
-
This patch is wild
Patch 9.2.0 is madness, so in order to find a smart solution to the slugging and tunneling problem, we decided to completely punish the killer by giving two perks as a base kit for survivors: tenacity and umbreakable, which can always be used after exceeding 90 seconds in a dying state. Furthermore, the killer is punished…

Glad to see BHVR still hasn't listened to 2v8 feedback.
5 times, 5 TIMES IN A ROW I've had a Legion-Oni duo, and 5 TIMES IN A ROW I've been tunneled out instantly. 2v8 is still riddled with toxic killers as well as survivors who would much rather throw you under a bus than be decent human beings. For a company who has been saying that they've been listening to feedback, it…

Stuck on "Initializing Shaders" and if i use dx11 the game crashes if i start a match

Hey guys ,devs and other beautiful people!
I have a question , what can we do to not get this update , because this looks horrible. And you know people played this game for 9 years , i am too spent a lot of time in this game. And i was absolutely in love. But the thing is , i really loved the open nature of the game . That was the only thing that kept my playing…

Assuming 9.2 patch were to go through, how to make lower tier killers work with this
This is coming from a killer main, but one who is for the goals behind the new PTB updates. I think making it so slugging/tunneling/camping are less viable is good, and while I do think they need to tweak survivor perks that can make this super exploitable (Flip -flop/Boil over which can make it physically impossible to…

Bogus Aug Dev Update to obviously be nerfed 'listening to community' just for few huge nerfs
I dislike being treated like a kid with these obvious psychology tricks. The Chandler Riggs stream will haught me to this day how the 'devs' who appear on the stream are nothing but token faces and the BHVR balance team are obviously some psychology graduates. I play this game for fun not to be forced into a them vs us…

Why is 2v8 just so much better than 1v4?
I play mostly survivor and it's just so much more chill, goofy and funny even with the killers. So many funny head bops and funny 2v1 interactions xD. I just love this mode man. Really can't see myself going back to 1v4. What about you guys? Some people love their perks. I don't care tbh.

Will the repair speed bonus from the Tunneling Reduction changes stack?
I just got done reading the August developer update and just had a question about the repair speed bonus that'll be granted to survivors if one dies before the killer gets 6 hooks. I hope a dev can answer this. EXAMPLE Let's say Survivor 1 gets downed after being hooked twice before any other survivor has been hooked even…

What can we expect from re-worked Michael Myers add-ons
Since they mentioned that they want myer players to get both of both worlds so stealth + lethality in a simple switch from one to another. They also mentioned they want to keep OG tier 3 with Tuft addon but thats about it what has been mentioned. Can we expect an addon which will be similar to Scratched × Vanity mirror…

Many New Players led to casual way to buff to role that most newbie will pick up
We saw this in many game, game devs will try to push for easier accessibility to new players. Based on steam daily players, many inflood of new player as well as returning players. The job of content devs here is to keep those players in, which mean majority would be survivors. I think for this patch, they will try to buff…

The game is not Killer or Survivor sided, it's Bully Squad sided.
Yes, it is a bit early to jump to conclusions before the PTB gets revealed and had a proper test with it, but I have been growing very worried about these changes the more I think about it. I've been wondering about the state of the game ever since the Walking Dead chapter dropped all the ups and downs of the game, all the…

Are we getting rid of perks now??????
Sooooo they're basically nullifying like 20 perks both on survivor’s AND killer's end?? This upcoming update is going to be INSANE for the meta and while I appreciate trying to lead the community into a healthier state of the game, I think this was way too drastic. Though, I must say, I don't mind the Myers rework.

Separate feedback threads for slugging & tunneling (upcoming PTB)
The PTB is adding both the Slugging Reduction and Tunneling Reduction updates. These are big changes that will create a lot of feedback, and keeping them in the same section will make things harder to follow. Devs/Mods, please consider opening separate feedback sections for each update so the discussions stay organized.

I guess no one cares about how Killers will be punished for doing there job now
Well i guess Killers have a Survivor rule book at hand now while playing The Game now. If you as Killer see 3 Gens Pop on ur first Chase and you need to get a single kill before 6 hooks and you need to get a Kill Quickly you now will be punished for doing ur job. Its like telling a survivor they can't do 3 Gens before the…

A niche (but important) concern about anti-tunneling measures
After reading the developer update, specifically regarding the anti-tunnel measures, it's hard to make a general opinion on how they'll play out, due to being such a complicated system. However, one thing stands out to me as immediately problematic: the fact that the anti-tunnel measures suppress Killer Instinct. This has…

A few reasonable and specific concerns I have regarding the Tunneling and Slugging changes
Just for transparency before I get dogged on, I play 60 survivor/40 killer with 3500hrs in the game. Does the anti slugging bar persist every time a survivor hits the ground, or does it need to be 90s in a row in one instance of being slugged? It was revealed that once the bar is full the survivor gets unlimited…

Anti Tunnel Changes Revealed!
Devs revealed PTB and Anti tunnel changes are shown When a Survivor is hooked, their hook status is hidden from the Killer. When they’re unhooked, there is no notification and their hook status isn’t revealed immediately. This is disabled once all generators are completed. Unhooked Survivors gain the following effects for…

New Dbd Teaser
Dead by Daylight has released a teaser of an audio recording of Thai woman asking "Are you there?" I have no idea on Thai folklore so what could the killer be you think? The next PTB should be September 2 https://x.com/dvveet/status/1960720278184452515?t=mNCR4CLozBcaC2yzcbZGEg&s=19

Baseline BBQ is OP
Think about it, it means as soon as it gets to 2 survivors it means auto 4k. As soon as killer hooks one they see aura of remaining survivor, so no chance of a save or getting hatch. It means stealth is dead.

Ofc everyone hates it. Its new.
This is about the myers rework. All I see is complaining and complaining. Is everyone seriously saying that this is less fun than instantly downing survivors and maybe losing your power over the match? This is SO much more fun, but i understand that the dbd community hates fun lol. Please keep this until the ptb id really…

A good balance = make perks free
It's rather confusing they add more rules and basekit "perks" to put a solution to tunelling and camping when they already have those solution perks behind grind and paywall. Anti tunnel? Decisive strike and borrowed time. Anti camp?Reeassurance and slippery meat. We paid for the game and dlcs only to be able to play a…

It's absurd that console players are banned from chatting
This is the only crossplay game I've played that punishes console players by completely disabling the chat feature for us. I really don't understand why. If the argument is it takes longer, it takes like 5 seconds to simply type a "gg" or "wp cya". Even just being able to comment on other people's outfits in the pregame…

I still feel like the milestone rift fragments should be reversed
I know that dailies got buffed because of it but its still so unfortunate to see how degraded milestone rewards are now.

So nothing will be done about survs being able to stack gen perks and toolboxes?
No matter the buffs you want to give killer to compensate for the upcoming changes they will NEVER be enough as long as survs can dedicate an entire build to achieve their objective faster and not being "punished" for it. Killer can also do that by tunneling and this is basically being erased from the game. I'm not…
