Why are people crashing out on these forums about the changes being delayed?
There are literally hundreds of videos and thousands of posts demonstrating, with concrete evidence, why the current iteration was not good. This wall of evidence was so thick that BHVR made a statement a couple of days into the PTB indicating as much. Objectively, it should not be going live until these issues which,…

[Fan Killer Concept] Mavka — The Whispering Wraith (Ukrainian Folklore Inspired)
Fan Chapter Concept: Mavka — The Whispering Wraith Inspired by Ukrainian Folklore Lore: In the shadowed heart of the Carpathian Mountains, where the trees grow twisted and the wind carries ancient songs, there lived a girl whose name was lost to time. She was kind, radiant, and deeply in love with a hunter who wandered…

So they can keep doing that for longer
Was it blight tunneling at 5 gens? Well, yes. Atleast we had some hope for a week.

Why do killers always get what they want when 4x more survivors are needed to sustain the game?
BHVR you are just shooting your own game in the foot by rolling back the anti slugging / anti tunneling changes that non-biased players have been wanting for YEARS. Why roll them back because of a loud minority of killer mains? Survivor is becoming increasingly frustrating with bad killer design (clown, kaneki, nurse,…

Teammates not helping complete the objectives
out of 10 matches tonight I only had one good team that actually seemed like they knew what they were doing. The others just hiding around. Solo btw. Can you all start addressing these useless players? Completely ruins a solo persons game when they are just throwing the match. Like come on now. Hiding and not doing…

Am I the only one who is tired of this?
Almost any major change to the game doesn’t make it past a PTB. Were those the right changes to fight tunning. No they weren’t and some of us knew right off the bat. However since they canceled them it’s been all over social media that the community saved DBD by complaining. When the reality those changes were never going…

Damage 15 generators in a single match? Really?
How. Like, actually, how? Do the devs expect you to just throw a match and run around with oppression kicking every gen you see?

What do you all think about the new perks?
Now I'm a survivor main so I can't comment too much on the killer perks but they seem kinda mediocre but I can comment on the survivor perks. Ghost Notes: this perk is 100% getting nerfed. No way is their perk making it to live as it. It's a good perk bordering on annoying and broken. I just hope they don't completely make…

Hyperfocus
I have been using a full gen rush build and started using hyperfocus in every match, but I was accused of cheating by a killer, who said "nobody can hit those skill checks, you must be cheating".. So now I'm a little confused? Are the skill checks meant to be impossible to hit? I do on occasion miss one, but I'd say I hit…

Anti-tunneling incentives
While I know they already said they're holding off on alot of the PTB stuff, there was 1 part of it I think warrants discussion and could possibly be room for really nice changes going forward. BHVR for seemingly the first time ever have noticed that some killers are stronger than others and shouldn't get the same blanket…

How many people have actually played a party game?
How many people have actually played a party game? I see people saying that DBD is supposed to be a party game, and I'm wondering how many people have actually played a party game in a real life party? Party games are supposed to have really simple rules, so that people can quickly learn the games even if they're drunk.…

A Question On Anti-Tunnel Rewards
How would we feel about ramping up rewards for continuing to hook unique Survivors? For example if you hook 4 Survivors, with nobody being hooked twice in a row, you get an extra bonus. Say, arbitrarily, that if you hook 6 Survivors and none of them are hooked twice in a row, you get like 20% Haste until a damage state and…

Tension, Strategy, & Depth In Dead By Daylight
While this is somewhat related to the PTB, it's a broader conversation so I'm putting it in general discussions instead. There's a comment that I see repeated about the notion of anti-[X] additions, whether it's about tunnelling or slugging or in some cases camping, where people object to the idea of removing… one of the…

Buffs on Myers Rework (If it stays as it is on the PTB)
1. Buffs in Evil Within (Tier 3) Currently, in Pursuer mode Myers receives: +10% lunge distance +15% vault speed through windows +10% endurance +10% Brutal Strength effect However, when Evil Within (Tier 3) is activated, these bonuses should feel much stronger and more distinct from Pursuer mode. Suggested values: Lunge:…

New Killer Krasue
First off the Anti slug and anti tunnel update completely overshadowed this Chapter. Secondly since how this killer is designed and will basically function like a Diet Twins you detach your head leaving behind your body and when you hit a survivor you injure and inflict deppwounds and then are recalled to your body. PTB…

How to counter X
Hello everyone, since we have to wait for the Anti Tunnel, Anti Slug and maybe an Anti Camp here are some good advices how to counter these playstyles. Camping: A tale as old as time and it had been a bigger Problems from the times when I did start to play DbD. To this Day i smell Bubbas breath on my chin. Okay enough…

I'm starting to get tired of reporting cheaters only for nothing to happen.
This is a bit of a rant discussion, but would love to see what other stories people have to share, I have reported around 5+ cheaters since the start of the year, have filled a ticket on them, given all the sluggish details they ask of me plus video proof, yet here I am, going against the SAME cheater I reported like 4+…

Are Ruin, Oppression, and Deerstalker changes also cancelled?
As we know, devs announced that some perk changes are cancelled along with the delay of anti-slugging and anti-tunneling updates. Does anybody know if Ruin, Oppression, and Deerstalker are included in that "cancelled" list?

Who was supposed to enter 2v8
Devs decided not to add any New Killers in 2v8 however that wasn't always the case it's been discovered in the Code that Chucky and Clown were supposed to enter this 2v8 iteration before devs decided not too.
-
2v8 ends today now stop extending events
Its pointless to extend events constantly this has been going on for a while. Seeing a lot of survivors wanting it permanently but it already messes with the queues, not to mention people only play 2v8 for the bloodpoints. I just personally don’t get enjoyment playing survivor in 2v8 after a few matches.

dbd has become a joke but not for the reason you think
basiclly dbd is a joke, survivor gameplay is sitting on a gen and pressing button now and then. the "fun" element is chase which includes going in a circle around the pallet or jungle gym. killer gameplay is speed dash or pretty much chase in a loop to force a pallet drop. they even changed myers to semi dash killer. the…

Can BHVR finally do something about cheaters?
######### balance discussions for a second, can something finally be done about the anti-cheat which clearly doesn't work? Having to go against multiple cheaters every single day (EU-W) is getting to the point where I'm considering just quitting altogether. I can't even begin to give you a count of the amount of cheaters I've…

Survivors should really stop playing this game for the time being
Well there goes my reason to maybe come back to this game for now, as the anti-tunneling and anti-slugging changes are being delayed for who knows how long, alongside the buffs to none tunneling strategies that I was very much looking forward to. I do get that these fundamental changes probably would have needed some…

The strange world of 2v8
Hello everyone as always I have a short question. I played a lot of 2v8 in the last time and my mind was blown apart. People going down left to right in less than 10 seconds. You could say ofcourse the Killer went Tag Teaming on them but that wasn´t the case. I am kinda confused how it is possible that people falling like…

It's not "Killers VS Survivors" its "Competitive VS Casuals"
TLDR at bottom; This has been on my mind since the announcement. BHVR has now accepted that winning takes priority over fun. Tunneling and Slugging and inherently unfun strategies to face, and frankly they are incredibly unfun to play. But they are also some of the easiest wins you can get. Removing these in any way…

So… I want to learn how to play Artist.
a while ago, I made a tier list on killers I find the most fun to play as and Artist was second to last on that list. I think she is the second most boring killer in the game, she is one spot above my most boring killer personally the Spirit. So I want to go through a bit of character development as it were. I want to…

Opinion: The problem of Solo Q survivors are the Solo Q survivors.
A lot of people complain that playing solo is horrible because survivors don't do generators, they only search chests, they only cleanse totems, they just hide, they don't unhook, etc. But have you ever stopped to think that none of these complaints are about the killer? About their perks or their powers? This means that…

The Divide In Killer/Survivor Stance Is Shockingly A 50/50 Split As Of This Update
Theres alot to unpack here, but we should all want the best of both roles. Heres my diagnosis and recommendations. Hopefully no matter your stance, you agree. I'm not gonna bore anyone with personal life and #########, but I am a very unbiased player when it comes to whats best for the game's balance. I'm actually studying Game…

Annoying interaction
There's annying interaction in dbd that probably should be removed due to huge survivor buff next patch. You see, survivors can finish sometimes gen in front of your face and others can help with it by bodyblocking them. There should be possibility to kick a genwhile survivor is worknig on it in order to prevent that toxic…

Give us the option to disable autoaim/aim dressing
It's the year 2025 and we STILL do not have the option to disable this awful mechanic, idk how annoying it is on console since i've never played with a controller but I would assume its just as rage inducing when it makes you miss a hit. How in tarnation do we not have the option to disable this already? Like seriously…

Penalize Survivors who don't leave right away.
After a certain amount of time of not leaving the game when the exit gates are open survivors I feel need to be penalized. I hate having to escort them out so they can disrespectfully tbag in front of me after running Lithe, Sprint Burst, Windows of Opportunity and whatever crutch survivors need to get a free win. Its so…

Focus on a Worthy Rework for Michael Myers
The proposed rework has good intentions, but in my view, it strays too far from the original essence of the character. The new dash ability, while fun, does not align with Myers’ identity in Dead by Daylight. As someone who mains this killer, I believe a faithful and balanced rework would be much more deserved. Below I…

Cheaters are spreading in 2v8
Now I have encountered 2 cheaters in 3 matches and its becoming annoying more and more, same cheats from cheapest budget they can buy probably with no counterplay decinding turn of the match. Just got mishone reapearing gens infront killer face and no pissibility to injurre her,grab her or damage the gen, I strongly doubt…

The pallets are lying to us!
I feel like pallets are a bait and switch scheme. You're presented with an idea, one that festers and consumes your whole identity, "what if I can use this colorful peice of junk to my advantage." Suddenly, you hear noise of somthing big comming from the distance. You realize you have just come face to face with your worst…

Add the ability to abandon if someone tunneled at the 2+ gens left
I'm not going to stay in the match any longer if they decided to tunnel someone specifically from the start and we barely managed to repair 3 gen or slugging from the start, I'm not interested in pleasing the ego of such toxic killers, the match is already clearly over for us so just add abandon in this case in the next…

Is the 9.3 Mid-Chapter coming 2 weeks after the 9.2 update?
The current rift pass is scheduled to end on Wednesday, October 8th. Whenever a new rift pass starts, it’s with the release of the mid chapter. Does that mean we should expect another ptb for the midchapter very soon or was this not pushed back along with the content delay that happened 2 weeks ago?

Can someone explain the reasoning behind the new abandon scenario?
Everytime someone suggested killers being able to abandon, it typically gets shot down since they still have a chance to make a comeback. How is this any different?

Why developers listen to bullies to balance whole game?
Let me understand one thing: SURVIVORS: - Medkits? Nerfed. - Healing? Nerfed. - Rare item add-ons? Nerfed. - Toolboxes? Nerfed. - Generator repair time? Nerfed. - Flashlights? Nerfed. - Keys and Maps? Useless. Phew, thankfully they don't need to be nerfed! (Although the default map was supposed to create a point and show…

Tunneling/Slugging Update
The Slugging feature was fine but the Tunneling update was the problem not saying I need to tunnel to get kills. The problem was definitely if someone misplayed then the killer gets punished for it

So about the back pedal on the ptb...
Mostly for me, I was kinda glad about how some of that would help solo Q, AAnti-slug i would think help them a lot, and honestly might be called a fool for this, but this would be one of the good times to make a "SoloQ only" buff and have it negated for SWF.(because one is your paired with randoms and the other you are…

lately Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has just way too many freaking double pallet loops!
I’m seriously pissed #########! Pretty much all the pallet loops are double pallets, and every jungle is busted as hell. Whoever designed this area, come out — I ain’t ever forgiving you! Bring it back to how it was at launch! How the hell can a survivor even lose here? Just drop pallets brainlessly and you win — how could they…

This Is Exactly What I've Been Saying
Mintskull does an incredible job of explaining what was good and what was bad about Anti Tunnel and Anti Slug.

This thumbnail being based on a certain meme is actually pretty funny to me, since this is exactly what the killer…

"Too Punishing for killers"- Yet being tunnelled and camped at 5 gens isn't punishing survivors?
I dont understand this response.. why not just make it harder to tunnel..? take some aspects and see if they work? keep the buffs from the unhooking and get rid of the gen progress aspect to it. Cant it just be met halfway?

Its a shame that devs are doomed if they do and doomed if they don't
Here we are again. another update that was met with such criticising from both sides so the devs quite rightly decided to hold fire and have a rethink before just pushing it to live…and what happens?? Oh look a metric ton of posts criticising their decision to pull the changes. Seriously the community can't complain that…
