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
So recently i've been getting this issue on my pc that makes my game crash if i use d3d11 on launch or just get perma stuck on initializing shaders if i dont. I really don't know what to do now and this never happened to me before😶. I'll be grateful if you guys find a solution or some kind of answer to this problem.…

Do you think DBD game will die after patch 9.2.0?

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. It used to be much better with both how long they took (seriously the one new milestone step takes is as long as 2-3 old ones), but you barely get anything in return for completing them: just 1/4th of a…

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…

Remove bleed out timer
edit: it posted without the text, oops. let's fix that Since it was added to address situations where the killer slugs and refuse to hook, and there are mechanics being added that more directly counter excessive slugging, it makes sense to remove the bleed out timer

Please leave Scratched Mirror Alone
With the upcoming Myers rework, one fear crosses my mind (Besides BHVR making him yet another dashslop killer.) In the post they stated "Add-on adjustments" Not specifying that SOME add-ons would be adjusted. So, I feel it's safe to assume that all add-ons will be adjusted. My one fear with the rework is that we will…

these killer queue times are killing me boss (1v4)... and BHVR just added more salt to the wound
3+ months now playing killer is unbearable cause of these long queues. My queues are longer then the matches whether I stomp the survivors, I run chill builds and they just do 3+ split gens at the start and I got no gen slowdown, or if they just DC or give up etc all these factors just adds up Before, one could simply…

An opinion on new Myers
I know there are a lot of kneejerk reactions going around about all the changes, but I actually have a good feeling about most of the anti-slugging and anti-camping changes. However, the one change that sticks out to me is the change to The Shape. It feels like it doesn’t fit Myers as a character. He isn’t known for large…

My thoughts on 9.2.0
Honestly, banger of a patch. There are good and bad parts of it, but this patch is great. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the Slugging and Tunneling reductions, but in my opinion, if you complain about it, you're probably part of the problem that made this have to happen in the first place. I play as killer and…

Since they're employing Anti-Tunneling, I Thought This Perk concept Deserves a Chance
I Honestly came up with this perk a long time ago to encourage/reward killers for going for hooks vs kills, to encourage less tunneling. Since the devs are now Forcing this playstyle on killer Players, I felt this perk will fit right in with the next patch. Anyone else agree that this should be in the game? Scourge Hook:…

Anti slugging
Why you keep adding this feature and change nothing about it? There's already multiple anti slugging perks in the game and one of them you can use multiple times in one match.

Finally Removing Handholding from Killers
Lots of talk about the survivors getting handheld with the recent release notes, but it far more looks like the killer's handholding is being removed Nothing is certain until we see the numbers, and like a lot of recent BHVR changes they went big instead of trying more simple solutions first, but let's look at a few things…

Frank Questions Regarding the 9.2.0 Patch Notes
Regarding the subject matter. In the long run, measures to reduce frustration on the Survivor side—which has more players requiring support—might be the right approach. After all, that's how we've implemented base kit BT, the anti-three-gen system, anti-face camping, and HUD action visualization up until now.Even so, since…

Genuine feedback about 9.2.0, please read.
Please read this, BHVR. Please *actually listen* to people in the PTB this time, you have the potential to make a good change, but this needs to be done very carefully, if you ignore all feedback and let the anti slug and tunnel roll straight into the live servers it'll be disastrous for the game, but things do need…
