Can We Not Go Through With How PTBs are now loaded?
So you want people to opt into a PTB where absolutely nothing is leveled up, can't access Wraith or David anymore because they're locked behind tutorials that you locked in PTB? Doesn't this defeat the purpose? So if there's a bug with Wraith and someone wanted to try a new perk on Wraith in PTB, we just won't find out…

What a horrible update...
Unfortunaly I will be uninstalling the game if any of this killer nerfs (including the perks) go through :(

Warning if you do not own the Hellraiser DLC but do own Cenobite
You are unable to use Pinhead in the PTB if you do not own the Hellraiser DLC. Please make sure you have it if you wish to test the changes with the new system using him. You also need to rebuy any characters you may have bought with Iris or Auric Cells in main game, and do not have any of your cosmetics, including Deep…

Y'all need to remember that this is a PTB
This is a PTB which means that these changes will be tested and hopefully adjusted until it makes a nice balance. The changes are not final, everything you're dooming about isnt in the main game. Let's all be patient and see how things play out. (I am going to be honest though that if in testing the changes prove to be…

Is the new killer's ability the combination of the Plague and the Nemesis?
Maybe not but it was the impression I got while reading the killer power description, looking at the terms like "whip" and "meter", while there is similar thing to foundation to reduce this "meter".

Pallet Density increased!?
Pallet Density Quality of Life UpdateUpdated various Realms to adjust the quantity and distribution of pallets, reducing the presence of "dead zones".

What triggers the anti-tunneling punishments??
Here's where Im confused and would really like a little bit of information. If a survivor is hooked and is left to die on hook do the survivors still get the speed bonus? Also, if you were playing like Trapper, if they go into the dying state and choose not to pick themselves up and die [unlikely but still possible] will…

Is this version of 2v8 fun for you?
For me...Killer no it isn't…Survivor...eh Killer Queue times but that's always been a problem Basically your s—t out of luck if your not playing with someone on comms because you have no way to communicate what you can do Escapist kinda can just have the ability to use Sprint Burst whenever they like Gen rushing is a major…

New update 9.2.0
This new update is so survivor sided they already got enough perks to counter tunnelling and slugging but no they need their hand held they whole way though at this rate killers won't play and survivors will just all wear the same outfits so they get that buff for the rest of the trails is so unfair for killers after this…
-
Punishing killers for completing their objective?
So killer is getting severely punished for completing their objective? I get that being tunneled sucks, and I personally try to avoid it, but if the same survivor is playing poorly/annoyingly and constantly coming into contact with me, I shouldn’t have to pretend I don’t see them like I’m playing hide and seek with a 3…
-
Will Twins get a compensation buff?
So with the new anti slug changes announced for the 9.2.0 PTB, I find it odd that while Oni got compensated for it with more blood orbs spawning after hooking a survivor, feels odd that Twins hasnt gotten a compensation. Is there plans to give compensation for them even if not in this chapter?
-
This Is Atrocious
I hate Wesker as much as everyone else in the game, but putting him in 2v8 was bad. A bad decision. Survivors have been dealing with his dash grab that you can be downed out of by the other Killer this whole time? Same reason I have a problem with Deathslinger sniping me while being chased by the other Killer so they get a…

Michael's Add-on
Rather than using an add-on to use the pre-rework Michael, wouldn't it be better to use an add-on to unlock the reworked abilities? You say you can use the old Michael, but in reality it's the old Michael with one add-on slot taken away, so it's not really "you can use the old Michael."

Your Thoughts: Is Killer Harder?
I would like to know your thoughts: since the FNAF chapter's release, has playing killer gotten harder? If you agree, please explain why, and likewise if you disagree…

praying menu audio is lowered this patch
it literally gives me a head ache nvm new killer means new menu ignore me

Would you buy the new killer if there are no changes after PTB 9.2.0?
Tittle.

Are more people working with the killers?
After the amount of people that have been (seemingly) working with the killers is insane. I've seen it 3 times just today. Like at the end of the game letting me die on 2nd hook while the killer watches them finish the last gen. Is anyone else dealing with this? (And yes I pull my own weight I considered that)
-
Time out for cheating is wild
They acknowledged the cheating, but if you quit when someone cheats against you, you still get locked out. And I understand the problem with rage quitting, but come on. If you're getting tunneled left and right because killers are mad then it's just not fun. And I play killer so I'm not talking about the survivors that are…
-
This is starting to piss me off
I really dislike in 2v8 how, whenever you select a class, it changes automatically whenever: 1. You select a different survivor 2. After 4/4 people already picked it and you get forced into a different one, but it even stores the forced different one for the next match, instead of the original one you picked I feel like…

Developers, go play killer.
After reading your patch notes there’s no question you guys have no idea how killers are played, the time it takes to kill a survivor and the knowledge you requiere to actually challenge good / decent survivors. If you are going to balance your game for people that have no skill, are new or are just messing around, you are…

Objectivity vs emotional reactions
After the latest PTB patch notes were released, it was no surprise that it divided the community, most arguments and comments diluded into us vs them. Regardless of what side a player is voicing their opinion from, I think it now more important now than ever to be objective about these changes. Unbiased and looking at the…

A Basement Hot Take
So as Im writing this I don't really think it's a good idea but my thoughts are what if all Killer powers are disabled while in the basement and all Killers move at 115% or 4.6 m/s. That would mean no more traps in basement, no more insta downs, no teleporting, etc.. it would also not let survivors use killer items such as…

9.2.0 patch
The 9.20 patch makes Dead by Daylight less fun by adding dumb restrictions like blocking generators and speeding up gen progress when a survivor dies, which only makes the game feel restrictive and snowbally. These changes reward bad survivor gameplay, letting players who recklessly stay in the killer’s face still get…
-
Patch 9.2.0 will destroy the balance
Well, I see a lot of people panicking and even outraged about the 9.2.0 preview, and with good reason. I understand that many hate tunneling and the slug, but there are already perks in the game to counteract this. In my opinion, the devs want to make the game easier for the survivor instead of improving bad perks that no…

Why is there no MMR?
People constantly claim DBD has mmr, but its just not true. Every single match recently, I play against people with 10x my hours, and I end with 3 hooks max. Next patch completely kills killer on top of that, so what am I meant to do? Uninstall? I wait 15 minutes just to get ######### on every match, and my apparently…

On the Anti Tunneling
I have been thinking, about the Anti-Tunneling, specifically on the gen regression and block prevention. Isn't this also semi targeting those matches when the Suvivor gives up immediately? Like you find them and they stop moving or stay under the hooks? Because a killer trying to prevent the regression/block prevention…
-
Are killers the only one that generate uninteractive gameplay?
I understand that the changes coming to ptb, are because sluggin and tunneling are boring playstyles to the receiving end, because they reduce their interation with the game, therefore i can agree with making the game more frenetic, but wouldnt that have to include immersing and gen rush? Both reduce the interaction the…

Is the PTB on Tuseday or Wednesday available?
So, usually a PTB drops on Tuseday and even in the developer update they said next Tuseday (September 2nd) is the release of the PTB. However, the social media accounts just dropped a new teasers that says the PTB will be on September 3rd (Wednesday). So, which one is true?

I think this patch will finally make me want to play the game again
Honestly reading everything about his patch seems great It might actually revive the survivor players by making it so not every game is a confirmed loss Killer players will now get into matches much faster because of it aswell they get basekit bbq! Literally all killer players need to do is not tunnel and theyre given…

Why Do PC Players...
Get a toggle option? Like I know why but they have the ability to Spin and 180 Lunge without trying. I play console and don't want to throw up every time I tilt the right toggle for an advantage no one should have. I have default/low camera sensitivity and toggle off for the same reason. Commitment to the horror aspects. I…

Sadako Deserves a Rework. Please consider these changes BHVR.
I've been thinking about this recently because I honestly feel like the way condemn works genuinely cripples her design space. Condemn is both exceptionally powerful and exceptionally inconsistent. That power prevents her from having any meaningful ability in any other area despite the fact actually getting the mori often…

This is a Surv-Welcome game, Killers are nothing more than Servants or NPCs in an escape game.
"Frustrating for survs"? Huh, have they ever thought about "frustrating for killers" if Survs play aggressively? Does anyone watch live on the Hong Kong server? Surv players there play extremely aggressively. I used to watch Killer streaming a lot, but now, I just feel as stressed as the killer streamer. They are not…

Is this the start of REAL gore in DBD?
With the whole head-detaching feature (I hope it's true) and possibly even more additions with this new Killer. I wonder, did the devs change their stance on gore? 🤔 They’ve mentioned before that some countries have pretty strict laws and regulations when it comes to violent content in games. If that’s the case, how are…

Please...just bring lights out back
I think it was only out twice but just 2v8 and chaos is getting dull or overall boring. Lights out had just a few days then poof it was gone but it feels like you can't go a month without chaos or 2v8 showing up...just please for the love of anything bring lights out back or just a new modifier. I took a good break maybe…

Lithe
So I have seen a lot of survivors hardcore metaing Lithe like no tomorrow. Making this game incredibly painful as killer. Usually if survivors over abuse a perk, it normally gets nerfed or changed. Why hasn't Lithe been touched up yet? And what are some good perks to counter it? Its just SO ANNOYING its like everyone's…

(Please read this devs) my early thoughts on PTB 9.2.0
Slugging reduction: for the most part, I think this is fine. I do feel like if 90 seconds isn’t enough you can maybe bump that up to like 120 seconds. But overall, if you are really going to slug a survivor to go after another person real quick that’s nearby. That’s probably gonna take like 40 to 50 seconds. I do feel like…

why are killer only players panicking
every time they've introduced something to "address survivor complaints" i remember them nerfing it to the point where it's completely ineffective. why do people think this will be any different?

About the Upcoming hook incentives .
having a semi basekit pop , furtive and bbq is not the same strenght for all killers . Firstly the gen regression needs to be applied on hook ( rework Pain ress to balance this) . The reason is that even on live version perks like pop are not as usefull on the low tiers for two reasons . They lack the time and mobility to…

New update…..Game killer?
played this game from release,seen some really good updates and some bad.I had given up on this game twice before due to some of the updates and frustration on playing them.I do play mainly killer and am happy with a 2k,play for fun and not a sweat.Never play meta builds actually like playing trapper and occasionally…

Map offering changes really killed scratched mirror myers
its a shame as the jumpscare myers playstyle was the most fun you could have in dbd. Now if i pick a offering to go to lerys im probably gonnna get coldwind as a map where everyone can see you from a mile away. If you wanted to change map offerings just have when survivors choose an offering have it be 20% and if the…

Would BHVR consider "The Last Of Us" License Chapter?
Just imagine how popular this chapter would be, most popular survivors could be Ellie and Joel and maybe even Abby? I think this would be a really big chapter for them considering its so many diff locations they can choose if they brung a map to this chapter, St. Mary's Hospital, Jackson, The Boston Mall, Silver…

So that last patch notes.
So those last patch notes are something, if they go live can we reduce hooks from 3 to 2, remove the tbagging ability, and increase generators from 5 to 7? I think that would be a fair trade. Also I'm kinda shitposting here so don't take it to serious. Just some ideas.

Dwight the Brave and Dwight's Fright
Dwight the Brave and Dwight's Fright are two Tome challenges from Tome 3 levels 3 and 4 that are just annoying to get. You have to hide within 10 meters of the Killer for both of them. One for 60 seconds and the other for just 30 but also escape. I know the tome challenge will display on your screen when completed but I…

How about instead of basekit pop its pain resonance? Thoughts?
This idea comes from user @Slan So basically the basekit pain resonance, it would save time a lot of time actually than just having basekit pop that requires you to hit a gen. Yes it removes ability to choose which gen which to regress and will probably make certain people mad but this is just more in flow and more natural…
