Moved: Can we get a freecam tool in custom games?

My Killer Idea (let me know how I did this is my first)
Faith & Chaos -The gargoyle (not the same as Character Gargoyle. This one separate for DBD) M/s 4.4 His Ability Grasping Hope (up for suggestions) it is a grab that does not DMG and then turns into a drag where he gains increased mobility. The survivor can struggle and turn the killer while being dragged (the healthier the…

I was today years old to find out that "Noed" actually finds it, despite the term not appearing

cant wait for the anti-tunnel
I am so excited for it. tried 1v4 for the first time in a while as survivor….and each and every single match…one dude was tunneled immediately. the moment of unhook they would stop whatever they were doing and head back to hook. had an unknown drop chase with me just to warp back. a spirit phase away just to get back. a…

"Invalid SSL Certificate"
Hi everyone, I’m getting an “Invalid SSL Certificate” error during the “Connecting to Server” stage. The game won’t load at all. I literally played yesterday and everything was fine. I’ve already tried all the usual fixes. I synced my time and date, reinstalled the game, cleared the Steam cache, flushed and changed DNS…

I'm waiting for the phase 2 changes to be announced, before playing killer again
I'm waiting for the phase 2 changes to be announced, before playing killer again. Why should I put time and effort into playing killer, if it's likely that the phase 2 changes are going to make the entire killer game role feel miserable? Because this PTB was so absolutely miserable for killers, that I'm finding it…
-
Nurse counterplay
I actually enjoy playing against Nurse, but that's basically until she stacks aura reading, because there is no counterplay at that point. Can we finally make it so she doesn't see survivor aura while charging a blink? She was gatekeeping aura perks long enough in my opinion. btw COMPDBD just published really good video on…
-
Is the legion redundant?
I have played legion for a significant amount of time beginning shortly after his release, and with more and more killers added, it feels like the legion is not worth picking anymore. Legion is on paper supposed to be a hit and run killer that can keep survivors injured with "very easy" first hits. The power also gives…

When will we get the 2v8 stats?
A moderator said a few weeks ago devs would release the stats after the event was finished so.. where is it?

Danganronpa Chapter Idea
KILLER ideas: I will begin to suggest some ideas that could work as killer cosmetics. Monokuma - Monokuma being a standalone new killer with multiple skins (e.g. Monomi, Shirokuma, and the Kuma Kubs). His mori could resemble the button press before an accused victim gets executed during a class trial. Junko Enoshima -…

Was the Modifier in September Cancelled/Delayed?
On the roadmap for Year 10, we were due a modifier that was meant to be in the second half of September. I understand with the delays to the chapter/things shuffling around that the roadmap is now outdated, but just wondering if this is still happening or it's been removed?
-
Do you also see perks "wrong"?
I KNOW this is an eye. but I swear, every time I look at it small on my tv, because console, I always see Is this just me? Does this happen to anyone else?
-
Does anyone have reshade filters to make the game like lights out?
Long story short, me and some of my friends miss lights out. We found reshade and some crazy filters, but everyone just uses them to make red easier to see. Anyone have some crazy filter? and no, the base game gamma doesn't really make the game darker, just less visually pleasing and a bit painful in the eyes, you know?
-
Can't believe I might go this route
I actually might just play Ghoul. Seriously the game loaths if you don't main a single killer which I don't I hate having a main since it can get boring. Imagine trying to have fun only ever getting a single hook by the time two gens are done because hit validation just doesn't exist and the fact Matchmaking also doesn't…
-
Big changes that need to be added.
So to start off I will list the topics I will be discussing. -customisable custom games -ptb console access -bloodlust -play your way So I like to olsy a lot of custom games with my friends and just by myself as playing the game against Random people or with them can make the game frustrating or even unfair if you have bad…

Petition for THIS
We want justice for this skin. Where is it? Unbeliveable.

SpringTrap's Yellow Rabbit Cosmetic
Can y'all add the Yellow Rabbits mask from the film into the game, I'm not a fan of the exposed face look and would prefer a masked option.
-
The case of trapper being weak because of new players
BHVR has said that they won't buff Trapper more or if they do it might be small tweaks. The reason being new killers pick him and go against new survivors. With the PTB and them being able to code certain killers to not have as long of a base kit BBQ and POP - couldn't they have it so if you only have a certain MMR and…
-
Dear BHVR, Demon Slayer WHEN? (Minor spoiler for Demon Slayer)
Demon Slayer has secured a place in the hearts of people for years. In addition to being one of the most-watched films of modern times, it has a fan base that spans the entire world. I’m sure that the concept of Dead by Daylight would fit perfectly into its universe. The idea of flesh-eating demons with supernatural powers…
-
Is Playing against Script Users just a feature now ??
The ammount of script users is off the charts . It is a given that if i win to many games in a row i will face off against a script user . Even as survivor ill get them as teamates . They will disablee all the hooks , move at the speed of light and heal in .01 seconds . Great i will just afk in a corner and wait to go next…
-
DC penalty question?
There has been more DCs than usual with survivors lately. so my question is…how does the new DC penalty system work? I remember them reworking it…the disabling part of it…and i honestly stopped paying attention after that. Before it was one tier per day…what is it now?
-
trying to win as survivor is miserable
nobody has any interest in doing gens so the only remotely viable pathway to victory is to spend the entire game sat on them to the detriment of doing anything vaguely interesting if you actually get to get chased and run the killer then its a guaranteed loss because nobody on your team will be doing gens whilst you run
-
DBD is balanced the way it is for a good reason
I see a lot of people here who have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the game is balanced, a lot of people here seem to think that the game is tilted one way or the other, this is likely because they A: Solo queue exclusively or B: Only play weaker killers. Now in case A, these people call the game killer sided. In…
-
"BHVR is so survivor-sided!!! BHVR hates killer players!!!!111!!
Actually embarrassing how many players were crying about BHVR hating killer players this past week just for them to annouce they're holding back the anti-tunnel and anti-camp changes 2 DAYS after the ptb. Like y'all look so goofy right now.
-
Just gonna say, Vigil "nerf" is actually a buff
Now that the perk doesn't stack with other teammates, bully squads are only gonna bring 1 Vigil and the other survivors will have an extra slot for another broken perk for however they want to bully. My suggestion is to just bring the old Vigil that stayed in the game for longest: 30%, stacks, 8 meters rage
-
Mention beautiful streamers who care about DBD's development...
I wanted too list some great videos to try and bring a better game experience to DBD. I have only found one of them just recently and hope you could post/list others out there I have missed? Pixel Bush: The Dead by Daylight 9.2.0 PTB CHOY: DBD Currency System Explained in 5 Minutes
-
When The Twins will receive some love?
I like Twins, but how forgetable by the Devs this killer is? SO much people remember that horrendous PTB when they made this killer more powerfull than Nurse, but, that it, never more about Twin, No skins, no changes, massive bugs. DEVS, please, do something about Twins, this killer has A LOT OF BUG, i cant play as Twins,…
-
What do you guys think about my killer concept
The beast (werewolf) Bio/lore: Known to many as kind man. Peter Jackson lives in a town where such a kind person, would be able be the last you’d expect to have such a dark horrifying side. By day a hero, saving lives for the towns fire brigade. Sometimes responding to horror scenes with polices he himself was blissfully…
-
Do NOT update myers.
We don't want Myers to be another dashslop killer. Do NOT release 9.2.0 myers.
-
You are doing something about the issue regarding Krasue vaulting pallets, right?
Wesker, Legion and Kaneki have this issue that they vault a pallet and sometimes survs are able to exploit a bug and vault right back. For Legion is not that bad as they can vault immediately, but Kaneki and Wesker have to wait for a token to charge. With the Krasue is so much worse/easy for survs to pull off that is…
-
Killers Should be Able to Regress a Completed Generator.
Hear me out. The devs want to punish killers who kill a player before 6 hooks, so why not reward a player who doesnt? I think as an anti-tunnel reward, you should unlock the ability once per trail to regress a completed generator by the basekit 20% if you get 6 hooks in a trial without killing anyone.
-
Adept Killer with a Hatch Escape?
Just saw someone get their Adept Artist, even though the last survivor escaped through the hatch. Was this a change, or was it a glitch? Anyone know for sure?
-
Entering the Era of Sabo Squad?
I haven't been following the discussion too closely, so sorry if this has been argued at length… Between tunneling debuffs in the Tunneling Reduction Update and slugging debuffs in the Slugging Reduction Update, are we not pushing Survivors into an aggressive sabo meta? By denying a Killer the ability to hook someone,…

Theoretical patch notes
When the latest PTB's patch notes came out, many people said right away that it would be a disaster, that these changes would be absolutely terrible. But others claimed "well, how can you tell it will be bad, the PTB isnt even out yet", or something along those lines. So to all those people in the second group, here's some…
-
"Celebrate this" Gifts
Why some people receive some gifts and others dont? i completed 7 years in this game last month and i never see ayny gift for me 🤡 ( im subscribed in newsletter already, i always have been). My friend recently received this below. BHVR has their preferences
-
...so when did they say MMR was being fixed?
Gotta love how the game will just gut punch you if you take a break with high mmr. Then screw you over when you get 4k by another gut punch or because you decided to play a different killer. I've said it more then once and I'll say it again kills and escapes shouldn't determine your MMR, your performance should be…
-
Side Quest Perks
I enjoy the idea of side quest builds, things that focus on looting chests, cleansing totems etc. But the problem is there is barely any time to do those things. I'm not progressing generators. I'm not taking the Killer's attention and I feel like I'm wasting the teams time and potential resources. Rick Grimes for example…
-
Sprintrap/Glitchtrap Equalization
So there has definitely been an issue with some of the skins in dead by daylight offering "pay to win" features not present with the original design. The latest example is Springtrap. Normally his footsteps are rather loud and easy to pick up, but with the Glitchtrap skin, those footsteps are much quieter. This makes…
-
Killer Main - We need anti tunneling, camping, and slugging systems in place
I'm a killer main and I've seen the backlash about the anti tunnel, slugging, and camping systems. And how it's too hard to 4k. It's not. 4Ks are too easy. I'm a killer main with 2200 hours and you absolutely do not need to play so selfishly to win. My playstyle already adhered to the changes so it was just a free buff for…
-
Faced yet another cheater who made me be stuck in place...
The guy could heal me from across the map and fall through the map aka teleport. Bro saved me and then I was stuck in place. Sadly only captured the stuck in place thingy. Anyways surely he will get banned right…surely he won't just get another acc and do the exact same thing. Why does Behaviour do nothing against this? Is…
-
Quirky Perks for the Devs to consider
Killer Perks: Hex: Ley Lines The Spiritual connections of your Symbols of devotion aid you in locating your Victims. All Dull and Hexed totems in the trial grounds are connected by thin invisible lines you can see highlighted in yellow. Any survivor who passes through one of these lines has their aura revealed for 1/2/3…
-
Twins in 2v8 would be a menace
if Twins were added to 2v8 it would probably lead to some type of catastrophe. It would be funny to see how Twins would break if they were added considering they seemingly break every update. If by some miracle Twins function the insane 8 man slug teamed up with someone like Legion would lead to many of crashouts.
-
Slugging changes need to be disabled for Twins
As a Twins main I'm highly worried about giving unbreakable baseline because slugging the whole team is the only way to win with twins at high mmr. Downing with Victor and then running across the map to hook takes too long. I'm also worried about Deerstalker changes, because it's a crucial part of the slugging build.
-
Please, behaviour, listen to this
There is no secret that dead by daylight has one of the most toxic communitys of video games, and you know this if you have more than 1k hours and you are on high mmr. I don't know from where are you reading this, but at least here in Europe I get insults every 2 games, and as someone who has social anxiety, this is…
-
Am I going insane or is Huntress' Lullaby bugged?
I think the sound scaling for her lullaby isn't working. Whenever I play against a Huntress, no matter her perks- I am unable to tell how far away she is from me at any given moment. The only information I get is either she's close enough for the lullaby to occur, or she's outside of the radius. Her lullaby doesn't…

Have You Noticed, DEVS? We Still Have a Cheater Problem that You’re Ignoring
What was that stream just now? Players are telling you there are cheaters for months. Your streamers are telling you there are cheaters for months. And yet, you guys did nothing the entire time. And this was the outcome. If you won’t take action and dont know how to handle it, at least listen to your most respected…
-
"feels too punishing for Killers" - what kind of pathetic excuse is this?
I understand that I'm going overboard with rudeness and probably gonna be banned, but what kind of pathetic post is this on your part!? There are clearly signs that you favor one side, you're just making a shitstorm of posts "us vs them" because of your twitter post! My opinion is why you shouldn't have cancelled it: If…
-
World War Soldier as a killer
A killer that is based around a soldier pulled from a world war is something we have not seen yet. Of course i doubt they would use a automatic weapon or something like but if anyone has seen the 2002 movie Deathwatch with Andy Serkis in it a killer with those type of powers would be kinda cool to see.

How do you measure a good game
Beyond the obvious full escape or 4k how do you measure a good DBD match on both sides? Personally my number 1 is fun. I'm a big horror fan and any time I feel like I'm in an actual horror movie it helps. It could be simple moments like being crouched behind a wall as you watch the killer go by hoping they dont notice you.…
