(hello) what does that mean ? i posted one and it was really there but i realized i made a few mispelled so i maybe modified it like 2-3 times and then it just vanished with the quote "it's gonna be reviewed before getting posted".

Just want some advice...
I've been playing the game for just over a year now, on PS4. I like to share my time between playing as Killer and Survivor, I dont really have a favoured role to be honest. Anyway, one of the biggest issues I have as killer is coming up against 4 man SWF teams who completely destroy me and I just dont know how to counter…
Does killer instinct only works with open portals (yellow ones) or all portals?
In the french version of the game, it says that the demogorgon can see survivors that are near placed portals but in game, white portals doesn't show killer instinct even when i place them near hooked survivors.
What character's would you like to see in DBD?
Well for me in my opinion I would like to see Nancy Tompson -probably didn't say name right- from the original nightmare on elm street with the og freddy even though we already have freddy. I would love to see Shaggy Rogers from scooby doo I know it won't happen but I'd love it. So who do you want to see?
When should you flap your arms?
I say you flap when the killer is near you so people need to stay away. No flapping means it's safe to save. If you see a flap, you'll get a slap. If arms are still, you won't get killed. Do I have it backwards?
My game keeps saying NAT type problem but my internet is fine is this happening to anyone else?

Is it possible to recommend new chapter ideas?

Is Better Together Better than Bond for a Gen Jockey build?
I think the perk might be a solid replacement for Bond in my build but I want feedback from others before I commit. "You seek justice and uncover the truth no matter what obstacle stands in your way. The Aura of the Generator you are currently repairing is revealed to all other Survivors located within 32 metres. If the…
How does Infectious Fright and Monitor and Abuse interact?
When you down a survivor, does the chase end immediately, and infectious fright uses the M&A reduced terror radius, or does infectious fright trigger before the chase is ended, using the M&A increased terror radius? thanks.

Feral Frenzy missed attacks?
The Legion spotlight video says that during Feral Frenzy missed attacks have shorter cooldown: ...but the wiki says that missed attacks immediately end Feral Frenzy: https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Powers#Feral_Frenzy Which is it? As someone who misses 90% of attacks, this is a pretty important distinction to me. :D
Daily Ritual Stacks?!
Okay, so i know that Dailies can save up an extra Daily after completing one, resulting in 4 Dailies. I was on a lil break before, so i was gone for a good bit. I only now decided to go complete my Dailies. After completing them, i was about to quit. When getting to the very first menu (where you look at the Killer's…

Spirit-Character Design
What was the character design idea behind Spirit? I remember that the community wanted a female killer, but the teasers said its a male samurai. And then the community get a half naked, blue skined female killer. Was that on purpose?
Are there cheats that allow killers to see survivors in lockers?
Maybe its just pure luck, I have disregard it when I first started, but now knowing the game quite well, I don't understand how these two games against legion and they find me in a locker instantly even when I have full health and they are coming from a far enough distant that they can't see me go in. They didn't even…

What happens if someone with an emblem or default avatar gets "Trusted" status?
So after my last question about red backgrounds on avatars, I started wondering what would happen to people with emblems or the default logo as their profile picture, especially the emblems since they are already red. Is there any "Trusted" member who has one of those avatars? I'm very curious as to what that would look…
The Game(Darkness Issue for console) Will it be fixed?
So I've been wondering for months and months now why this issue hasn't been fixed. For those of you who don't know on The Game (for console)when you're on the bottom floor it's literally pitch black. When I play killer on this map for the life of me I can't see a damn thing. Fast forward several months later and this issue…

People who have a red background, can you change your avatar?
Are you able to change the perk/character on your profile and still have it be red? Are you able to choose a normal picture? I saw someone with a red perk icon earlier and I started to wonder what would happen if a new perk came out that the person liked more.
Moved: No points for surviving? Bug or rage quit?

Just a casual question
Does anything in the feedback and suggestions subform get heard and actually changed by the devs? From what i've seen so far it doesn't seem like it.
Not a Stranger Things Expert
So you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge here, but on the DLC page, you can see ingame pictures. One of them shows the kill animation in progress. I noticed that Demogorgon has 4... Flaps? Yeah, i'll just call them that. 🤣 Has 4 flaps to keep its weird mouth-head-thing closed. On the thumbnail of the DLC however, it…

Is This Possible? Med-Kit Question
So I was in a match and I was sadly AFK for most of it because work and wanted to stick around till the end to say sorry for being AFK. I watched the match and settled on this David who barely had anything left in his Med-Kit and decided to heal. It was a Yellow Med-Kit with the Common add-ons for speed and charges. This…
Keys and closing the hatch
I havent had this happen to me yet but if there are 3 survivors left, 1 gen left to complete and one of those survivors has a key. If I'm chasing the survivor, the survivor uses the key and escapes but I close the hatch right after the survivor leaves, does it trigger the EGC? I've never been in this situation before so…
BOT PRACTISE
Question: a new game mode that allows the killer/survivor to train against a bot on a local server. One example could be to choose a location (killer shack, infinity loops, random spots on different maps, etc...) where the survivor can choose between all killer bots. The survivor would only be able to move near the chosen…

Need help with a butt ghost build.

Does anyone know a fix for this Xbox problem?
Most of the time when I start up dead by daylight my Xbox crashes and the start screen but on other times it crashes on the screen when it shows the stuff with Mori and maps stuff and all that it crashes. I think it has to do with the smoke in the background maybe it’s too much for my Xbox to handle. Does anyone know if…
Do not give points for generator breakdown.
When I play for any of the killers, the survivors start the generators, I go up to them and start breaking it, but they don’t give me 100 points for the breakdown. That’s the essence of the problem, every time the generator breaks points are not given.

I know there is always a chance you can get the same…
