Devs, please say you won't rework Myers.
Michael Myers' reworked kit is nothing short of a failure. It's clunky, boring, and worst off, NOT MICHAEL MYERS. Michael Myers stalks his victims from a distance. Michael Myers only briskly walks at most. Michael Myers does NOT have a "Slaughtering Strike" where he dashes (it's a dash, NOT a lunge) at a brisk 15 meters+ a…

My idea for a totem/hex change
So some people have wanted totems and hexes to be changed for awhile and im not entirely sure how to overhaul them but i do have this. At the start of each trial the killer is given a random hex like devour hope or blood favor and the survivors would still have to go and find the hex like normal. That way the survivors…

Why is the player base so against playing the game in the most optimal way?
Hello, Something I've noticed in post-game chat and also in Dead by Daylight discussions online is that players are very angry when the opposite side plays good and employs smart strategies. For instance I was playing deathslinger and I slugged pretty much the whole game because it was the best play. I was able to down all…

Killrate is a bad standard for balancing
Honestly, killrate is such a bad standard for balancing. The difference in games between a 3k and a 4k, are not big enough to warrant a 25% difference in strength rating. There are multiple factors that I will get to, but a big factor is slugging for the 4k. If a killer slugs for the 4k, usually they have a huge advantage…

So is there not gonna be a release livestream on Tuesday for Sinister Grace?
Usually 4-5 days before a new chapter gets released we get an announcement from BHVR about the livestream that takes place right before the release. It seems we didn’t get that announcement post this time around.

"Dedicated server is not responding" issue.

Your game is incredibly unbalanced. By design?
ive played 20 matches of survivor today. My team escaped ONE. I see your statistics have the killer winning 60 percent of the time. What are you guys thinking. Why not make it 50 50. Killer perks are absolutely ridiculous compared to survivor perks. The only thing survivors have is pallets and windows and so many killers…

Why isn't auto aim a toggle feature yet?
Genuine question cause auto aim has only just messed me up and never helped. I know this is mainly a problem for us controller users but it would be very nice to just toggle the feature on and off like in most games instead of forcing it. And for me personally since the walking dead update i've been having way more of…

Is it just me or does the game look a lot brighter and clearer when you’re on the hook?
I’ve noticed this recently and it seems my game looks way better when i’m on the hook as opposed to being off the hook. Wondering if this is happening to anyone else before i report it as a bug. I’m not sure if my screenshots look the same as in game but if you are experiencing this as well please share in the comments.…

Why does the shape suck

Does DBD favor killers?
So normally I don’t think that DBD is survivor sided or killer sided, but I’ve noticed a running pattern that anytime killer mains complain about a survivor perk or mechanic it gets nerfed and when survivors and killers alike complain about something it gets delayed everytime… and I don’t mean the delay on the anti…

Why do the devs just forget reworks most of the time?
No, I’m not saying that the devs get the men in black memory wipe treatment, I’m instead talking about the killer reworks the devs kinda just ignored after it was said and done. Skull Merchant: this is probably the most obvious example of this but it can’t be helped, Skull Merchant after rework was ignored for a year…

Has Hit Validation been disabled?
The game feels like the old P2P days, with extremely laggy killers reigning supreme with laggy hits and seemingly no Server-Side Hit Validation stepping in. I got on to play and quickly got off with this experience. And this is why no one wants to play Survivor. The lag advantage granted to The Killer is too much. Why is…

How am I losing rank when I DC against a hacker?

Continued focus on what we have.
Thankfully with BHVR’S recent communications regarding the state of the game and the direction they want to head in was a relief for me to hear. The biggest frustration personally I have in the game is not being able to enjoy the game whether that is Bugs interfering or a flawed killer design like Sadako for example.…

Do they ban you for disconnections?

Hot Take: all the maps in the game kinda suck
Imo every single map in the game sucks to some capacity but some are just worse then the others and it seems like they keep getting worse. I mean just take a look at the last 3 maps we have been given fazbears dead sands and fallen refuge. Those maps are terrible Fazbears is not a indoor map fully like we all wanted, dead…

Myers and Krasue live updates
Thought i'd share these here since they are located in twitter replies. Sounds decent all around to me. Krasue's changes are interesting, im curious what they mean by the ability to vault mid-action, does this mean she can fly through vaults like Vecna or she can vault during a cooldown?
-
(totally) VERY important question about Myers
The developers have said that they're "reducing the rarity of the Fragrant Tuft of Hair for those who prefer Myers' old kit". Does this mean the addon itself is going down in rarity, or the effect is being moved to a lower-rarity addon? Fragrant Tuft of Hair has been the Ultra Rare for YEARS and it'd be weird to see it be…

Is the gravity different on Toba?
The picture isn’t good quality, but if you look closely at the bottom you can see it’s starting to levitate off the ground. It’s just floating? Are the Jedi here?

Not sure how I feel about the krasue changes
Adding collision to headlong flight but with the option to vault mid flight, idk I personally liked the other version where you lose collision and body block the survivor to prevent certain spots We'll just see once it hits live

Im done with knight
This killer is mess right now even he got buffed he still sucks more than weaker killers which can control their powers and its not crap AI or rng factor.

Who is the balance team now? Why are they hidden like MMR or SWF?
I find this interesting that the old balance team has left and nobody has said who is balancing the game. Ever since that deleted Walking Dead stream it is interesting that not even the BHVR staff on the stream knew anything or what to do, in otherwise just figure heads. I have never been so depressed about this game and…

Why are all maps not set to equal value, even worse why are-
the maps that are considered more "balanced" by both sides set on a much lower % and the more complained maps much higher (WITH A FEW EXPECTIONS) Here is the current odds % of some of the maps. notice a patten? Every day I play I always get gideon, badham, toba, nostromo, and these maps are just so boring and badly…

Let's talk about gen slowdown...
As A player do you like or hate those perks? Personally I dislike when I use them, but I realize its a necessity(let's be honest, if you can roughly doing 2 gens as a team in by the time it takes killer to get one hook.. it kinda feels rough for the killer) I hear people, more so those whom are on the receiving end of…

I like the social aspect in games, communication and making new friends.

This game seems like a perfect environment for it, yet for some reason console players are…

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…

Stop balancing the game based on artificial stats.
The developers need to stop artificially balancing the game based on statistics. There are several addons and perks in the game that were nerfed simply because they were used a lot or had a higher-than-expected kill rate, but that's not always the case. Sometimes they are used more because the other options are not very…

New game modes ideas
So I know this would take a lot of effort but more game modes where it is not just fixing gens would be kind of cool. I think it would be kind of cool if there was a mode where survivors are trying to find objects for a ritual that would banish the killer. Make it a little more even and might reduce some of the toxicity…

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…
