Why does killer get an abandon option for gens not popping for 10 minutes, and also Survivors?
I will die on the hill of adding more abandon options if they plan on not fixing the game. Like if your playing a match as survivors and a gen has not progressed for 10 minutes, than let everyone abandon, or add an abandon option for when gens pop for the killer, or add an abandon options for survivors sitting on the floor…

If we're not fixing Generator speeds, why not add the 2v8 mechanic
Just a thought, because like if we're not gonna fix the speeds of how fast gens go, or fix generator perks as a whole, because I'd just wish for one patch all generator perks just get nuked and unplayable, while increasing generator from 90 seconds to 100 or 110, or add the 2v8 mechanic.

Why was Play With Your Food nerfed?
Title is self explanatory, I was not playing at the time when the perk was added, nor was I there when it was nerfed. I can understand 21% being a bit fast but is that not the whole idea of the perk?

How do yall handle T-bagging survivors
The post is rather simple, but to elaborate - I am not talking specifically about T-bagging at the exit gate(s), I am referring to when say you get pallet stunned and the survivor sits there, T-bags a few times and the pops sprint burst and runs off; or say when you run into the occasional bully squad that all runs head…

How often do ideas in forums actually get implemented
I often see some really fleshed out and in depth ideas for reworks that would mostly be balanced or just some nice QoL changes for killers/survivors here on the forums and was wondering if any have actually been implemented or thought about I say this because I just saw someone want a Comeback: Of Flesh and Mud and just…

The Executioners power not going up elevation
Could a dev or someone like that explain this. Mild rant but I've been playing a bunch of Pyramid Head as of the past few weeks and have noticed that his power goes down elevation but not up? This normally wouldn't be a problem but I physically cannot use my power at majority of loops on RPD or on stairs and people going…

Will we be getting any sort of update about the tomes/tome compendium?
This is really a question for the developers, hoping that they come across this. A while back, I heard that the tome compendium will eventually be retired. Will we be getting any sort of information about what's going to happen to the tomes and when it actually will retire? As someone who has been grinding tome challenges…

So I recently changed my build...
I think I am having issues with a certain build. I have done healing, chasing and generator build. I just tried a new Invocation build. I am using Invocation: Weaving spiders. So, it takes about 2 minutes to complete, if no one comes and helps you. I am having issues because I think I figured out this long invocation is…

How do you access the PTB?
I'm trying to play the Jason PTB on Steam. I've been playing this game for almost a year now but haven't tried the PTB before. When I go to Dead By Daylight > Right Click > Proprties > Game Versions & Betas, I only have the options for "Default Public Version" and "hotfix-gpu". I'm pretty sure the PTB is still ongoing for…

If not an abandon option for all gens popping how about increase the timer based in exit gates.
if you're not gonna add an abandon option for killers when the gens pop, why not make it so that when a survivor enters the exit gate, the timer increases each survivor in their, so if someone is stupid and sits in the exit gate while their friends save the timer increases, and the same for if they heal at the exit gate…

Community Match Data Is Raising Questions About DBD Matchmaking
Lately it feels like both sides of matchmaking in Dead by Daylight are being pushed toward “stat normalization” instead of genuinely balanced games. From the Killer side, I’m sitting around 375 played killer hours, and 115 survivor hours since the launch of stat tracking which gives me a relative ratio idea of my total…

Dealing with Oni after he gets power?
Hello! My DBD journey continues. I've gotten much better at survivor now, but it is still the side of the game I find considerably harder. In the last episode, I couldn't figure out how to handle Wesker. I can now handle Wesker. Character growth. Now, I'm stuck on Oni, however. I find the guy harder to deal with than Nurse…

Has anyone heard of 2v8 getting a rework with how buggy it is this season?
Game force closing all the way to the PC main desktop, Lobby completely breaking when someone leaves a few seconds before the start of a match, leaving a 40+ min killer wait time (because it's not actually 29 mins), just to lose your entire spot in queue because the lobby is so broken you have to manually force close the…

Why can't killers swap characters in 2v8?
It just seems weird that Killers cannot swap their character at all, it's not MMR gaming, so it just seems like an unnecessary limit to impose on the free-for-all game mode.

I thought Community Outfits Were Free Only?
The reason for the question is because I seen Singularity community outfit being sold for real money. Unless I’m out of the loop. Which I’m probably am cause I don’t keep up with Dead By Daylight much anymore. But anyway yeah it just confuses me. Cause I thought they weren’t allow to sell Community outfits?

Question regarding the use of maps as items
Hello, I've been wondering: when I create a beam of light it reveals the aura of generators to me and my team. But does it also reveal pallets, injured survivors, totems or the killer depending on the add ons, or is it only me who sees it and my team only sees the gens? Thank you, have a wonderful day!

BHVR should make the anniversary offerings shareable between killer and survivors and not lock them
Hi Bhvr, what would you think about changing the anniversary offerings to shareable between characters? For example, if you have 100 anniversary offerings on Onryo but you want to play Doctor or a specific survivor, that it's just available on there. Right now, you're forced to play Onryo if you want to use the 100…

What do y'all do when you're playing as killer and it's an obvious troll/bully/pick me squad?
Personally one of my favorites is not attacking to tick them off and just bust pallets and constantly sabatoge gens. But sometimes they are aggressively in your face flashlighting to the point I had to shake them off and go hide out in a corner because they wouldn't leave ME alone. Like. I WANTED a fair match bro. But…
