Catch 22 Help? (Killer)
I just had what I feel like was an impossible situation, and would love to know how to deal with it in the future. Essentially, the survivors were down 2 and had 1 gen left. They hard committed to one, and I eventually just got blocked from regressing it anymore. I assume they were in a swf, because the minute I committed…

Favorite Survivor Builds
I want to know what some of your guys favorite builds to run are preferably non-meta and actually somewhat unique so the comments aren't filled with hyperfocus + stake out or sprint burst, vigil, five moves ahead, fixiated. Ill start with two pretty fun builds: Mirrored Illusion, Diversion, Blast Mine, Red Herring. (Allows…

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.

How/why are so many players able to cheat w/out getting banned or caught?
As a killer main - I do not often encounter situations where I can definitively say someone is cheating, but there is the rare circumstance where at least some form of cheating is overwhelmingly apparent (being faster than the killer in extended chases when I have 3 stacks of PWYF + bloodlust 2), survivors not taking dmg…

What Is This?
I keep encountering this issue but can't figure out why. Xenomorph gets caught on thin air, unable to move, for several seconds after pressing M1. I've also had it happen coming out of the tunnels but I haven't seen this mentioned by any other Xenomorph players. Is this a known bug or is there something else going on? Has…

Are we actually getting any MMR changes?
Do we have any genuine confirmation of whether or not MMR will be updated to a proper system? Preferably one that doesn't reward killing your team for hatch causing rank inflation and whatnot.

Perk bloat
Why does it seem that one way or another, 75% of the perks for both killer + survivor are either super situational or just outright awful? I understand wanting to bring new killers/survivors into the game but why do they 1. always have to come w/ "unique" perks (even though 1/2 the time they are similar to existing perks"…

Place your bets
A Dead By Daylight content creator by the name of CocoCava created a video titled "I'm Offering the DBD Devs $1,000 to Prove Me Wrong" the goal of this video was for the devs to try something like the Helldivers challenge. (which went great) Essentially the rules go as such: The person playing must be a key decision maker…

Tabbing temporarily removes sound and hides skill checks
As title says, am I the only one experiencing this? Just want to ask if any of yall do. Tabbing to check ping/perks. When I come to, sound is muffled and it seems to remove skill checks all temporarily. IE. after tabbing out, i would do gen and OUT OF NOWHERE it'll explode as if I missed a skill check.

Devs said something about making the Entity more present in trials.
What do you guys think this means? I'm assuming it'll be something like at the end of The Casting Of Frank Stone where the entity was in the sky, my guess is it'll appear towards the last half of the trial as to not ruin the immersive environment they're making.

HUD in killer queue is really tiny
Am I the only one with this problem? The Quest, Shrine, Store, anything on the bottom half of the screen such as the queue up button and estimated wait time with killer is like 20% smaller for me maybe more honestly and I can't read some of it because of this.

How exactly do I change my PFP?
I'm looking at previous discussions and they say to: Go into your profile Click edit profile Click on the option to "Change picture" Except I don't seemingly get that option… Not on my edit profile, not in the little menu when I click my profile.

Any Tips on how to not loose Survivors Stealthing?
I don't mean Hardcore just sitting the Corner the entire Match. I mean, the Survivor starts walking for 2 seconds around a Corner and become Invisible. I've been trying to learn Nurse recently, and I have been struggling severly with Survivors just dissapearing once I loose sight of them for a few seconds. I search the…

Is there anyway mods can deal with troll accounts?
Yeah everybody is entitled to their own opinion and whatnot but it would be nice if we could have mods stop these accounts from derailing the entire topic by pushing us vs them.

Do people actually experience killer anxiety?
I have about a 65/35 killer/survivor split with way too many hours in this game and have never experienced killer anxiety. I constantly hear about it a ton from content creators and people on forums, what is it like and how do you guys deal with it. Feel free to answer in the comments so other killers can learn how to deal…

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…

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…

Cross Progression Questions
Hey all, I've been playing DBD on Epic for around 2-3 years and want to make the move over onto Steam, How easy is it to sync it all over? Will I keep all my prestige's/levels on all survivors and killers? Will I lose all DLC that I have purchased on the Epic Games store? As I don't want to lose any killers as I play quite…

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…
