What Horror Game would you rather see come to DBD?
Diclaimer: Can't include 'Isolation' anymore, because now ALIEN is coming to DBD. Check out the teaser if you haven't already. Also, adding "Five Nights At Freddy's" would be cheating... It's obvious the topmost requested next to Alien, Pennywise and Jason. Besides, I only have 10 Polls. Dead by Daylight | Alien | Teaser -…
As a killer, what is the most overpowered survivor perk?
From your perspective as a killer, what is the most overpowered survivor perk and why?
How Hyped are You for Alien?
How excited are you all for the xenomorph coming into DbD? To be honest, after the anniversary, I was not expecting him at all.
Pick ONE Survivor... Who would you main?
No Shaggy, since he's the most requested Survivor by far... No Ellen Ripley either, because HOPEFULLY, we're gonna see her August 8th of next week. So... WHO would you pick...? Poll 1: Tommy Jarvis - Friday The 13th Poll 2: Sidney Prescott (I don't care if we already have Ghostface...) Poll 3: Nancy Thompson - A Nightmare…
Killers being able to see hook counts
Should killers also be able to see hook counts just like survivors, next to each survivor's name? I personally think that whoever wants to tunnel, does it anyway already. So those of us who want to play fair when there are 4 of the same survivor character players in the lobby, I won't have to struggle trying to remember…
Pick ONE Killer... Who would you main?
Poll 1: JASON Poll 2: Pennywise Poll 3: Springtrap Poll 4: Chucky Poll 5: Predator (Since we're getting Alien...) Poll 6: Candyman Poll 7: Jack Torrance Poll 8: Big Daddy Bouncer (Big Sister can be a Merchant Set. It fits the weapon.) Poll 9: Slendy Bendy Poll 10: NEGAN
Did you expect Alien to come out this chapter?
Was xenomorph here a surprise, or did something make you think about it? It's an anonymous poll, so be honest! I honestly did not expect him.
What type of Killer do you wish to see, but would be TOO DIFFICULT to implement?
Poll #1: Giants Poll #2: Flying Killers Poll #3 Shapeshifter Poll #4 Visually Impaired / Hightened Sense Killer Poll #5 Burrowing Killer Poll #6 Small Killer Poll #7: Non-Humanoid Monsters Poll #8: A Portal User Poll #9: Mind Controlling Killers Any other ideas? Select Poll 10. Thanks for reading.
Would you like a "The Boys" dlc, for example with Homelander as killer and Boys as survivors?
I think great things can happen with it!
If Alien came to DBD, how do you think he'd play.
Possible Powers for Alien. #1 STEALTH BASED #2 Reverse Beartrap #3 Teleportation (Through Vents...) #4 Climbing #5 Echolocation #6 Area Control
A Teaser Trailer for and ALIEN chapter was revealed today. Chapter or Paragraph? And, who?
Whether or not we get the map is inevitable, despite seeing a spaceship, probably the Nostromo, in the trailer. Besides, there's only 10 polls, here. I DO hope we do get it, though. (Even had the cat...😼) Here's our NEW KILLER!!! The Alien... or... The Xenomorph! And here's our potential SURVIVORS / Legendary Sets! Most…
What would you think about a perks only chapter
Imagine a chapter that, instead of a new survivor, killer, or map, we get only new "generic" perks for both killer and survivor, as well as tweaking the already existing perks to buff the ones nobody uses. Would that be something you'd be interested in? The community has made a LOT of really cool perk concepts that could…
Which cosmetics from all of us are dead would you like to see in dbd?
Who would win in a tag team fight and why?
what docter build is better?
i need help for build
What to do about slugging
So we all have seen it time and time again. More and more killers have been slugging to make sure no one gets out alive (whether it be from exit gate or hatch). Now I see more Dc-ing because of it (in which we have to pay the penalty for crappy game play.
Whats the worst gamestyle a killer can do?
As a killer i dont use any of these gamestyle so but curious to see what survivor mains hate the most.
What type of perk do you prefer?
Depending on enjoying it and not just on increasing the probability of winning and focusing on the outcome of the match You are free to choose whether you enjoy the benefit of perk, or you like designing the perk type, or both Edit: If you do not know any of these types of perks or do not know one of them Here are links…
What should be the purpose of killer addons?
Note that the listed options aren't necessarily what a killer addon should be exclusively. But what is your preferred addon purpose for killers, if you find multiple functions appealing?
PH iri addon ideas
Most of Pyramid Heads addon's are completely useless, but I thought of how to buff some so here it is. Obsidian cup - when using punishment of the damned, the attack trail does not appear. Iridescent seal of metatron - Inflicts torment on survivors when hitting them with Punishment of the Damned. Decreases range of…
What does everyone think of MFT and Hope?
Both MFT and Hope have been used a lot more recently due to their ability to increase a survivors speed to 112% during the endgame, and while a lot of people believe MFT is problematic individually, I wanted to see what people think of the combo specifically.
As survivor, do you normally bring items into the trial, or do you find them in the trial?
I'm curious as to how everyone approaches items in this game.
remove/decrease DC penalty during event?
I understand that DC is a problem if it gets used too much with the player simply being able to jump straight into the next match. (only to potentially DC in that one aswell) However out of depths of painful solo-queue I come with a game experience of mine. Basically the killer camped the hook, and the survivors were quite…
Which Killer makes you genuinely afraid?
I need to know. Which DBD killer makes you afraid? Which killer lurks in the back of your mind? Which killer scares the living daylights out of you?
Which movie are you going to watch first?
How strong is Made for This?
Just trying to get a gauge on what people think.
There should be a mode two killers 8 survivors and 10 gens to have to complete
Who is you favorite base game killer?
Mine is Billy.
Did the Dredge need perhaps a Buff ?
Yo, little poll to find out if you think the dredge deserves a soft-buff or not. Playing it quite often, I find that it is soft and not very aggressive. I think he deserves a buff. I take for example his tp out of the Nightfall, excessively slow compared to the Nightfall. I think it would be ideal for him to have a slight…
Should the game increase daily rituals to 4, 2 survivor and 2 killer related ones guaranteed?
Each day you'd get 2 new rituals, 1 killer and 1 survivor related. You have 4 ritual slots all together 2 survivor based and 2 killer based.
Do you think a trade in/up or recycling system for items/add-ons/offerings should be implemented?
Such as (x) amount of a certain tier for 1 random of the next higher tier.
What do you think of tombstone Myers?
I ask this because I’ve seen some discussion on it and it was very mixed. Honestly, I see Michael a lot in my matches and I swear at least 90% of the time he has one of the two tombstone pieces. I definitely think they should be reworked, but what do you all think? *note, it should say 4-6 not 7
What action hero should enter The Fog?
If you could choose, what action hero should join the fog?
Liability Status Effect - a way of legalizing megheads
I was thinking about a chapter idea that dives into the concept of the killer turning survivors against each other. Then it came to me a new status effect: Liability status effect You are immune to damage for the duration of the status effect: · Hitting skill checks regresses healing and generator progress by -3% · fast…
What Semi/Non-Horror Licensed Cosmetics would you rather see?
#1 Mortal Kombat #2 Cyberpunk 2077 AND/OR Edgerunners #3 At least a few more LEFT 4 DEAD cosmetics, if not Legendary Sets. #4 Ghostbusters #5 Scooby-Doo #6 The Addams Family AND/OR Netflix's Wednesday show #7 For Honor #8 Call of Duty AND/OR CoD: ZOMBIES #9 Street Fighter #10 Final Fantasy
If more Resident Evil KILLERS were added to DBD as a Default/Legendary, which would you choose?
---Killers--- Mr. X: From RESIDENT EVIL 2, preferably as his own Killer, or at least a Legendary Set for Nemesis. While it might break immersion for some, that doesn't mean they can't do anything else with the Mori, Voice, Music, Lobby Animations or Gameplay Animations. So, in that sense, immersion wouldn't be COMPLETELY…
GRIM REAPER as a Killer
Power (Marked For Death) The reaper can Mark a Surviver by streatching his hand Out and sending a Black wisp similer to Knights but functions similer to pinheads possessed chain. When a Surviver is Marked there Aroura can be read by the Killer within a 34 meter Range. Injuring the Marked Surviver Causes them to be Broken…
Allow twins to “remove” a hook state
Similar to the executioner,How about twins is given the option to directly attack a downed survivor effectively taking a hook state from them, downed survivors afterwards crush victor and regain a health state. (Down -> injured) NOTES -there is a 10-second prep charge time where victor charges to take the hook state,during…
PTB 7.1.0 The "Onryo" projection cooldown un-needed
After playing and watching other players and content creators play the new sadako changes I've come to the conclusion that the cool down on her teleport is too long or honestly un-needed. With her projection alone, the cool down is 70 seconds and if a survivor turns off a TV it's 90. She needs to teleport 10 times if she…
Who would win? The SHAPE or the EXECUTIONER
I just wanted to know since they are the strongest killers and could probably beat the entity
If 'The Walking Dead' came to DBD, who would you main in a heartbeat?
Say if BHVR obtained the TWD license; neither from AMC, nor from Telltale Games, but from Robert Kirkman AND/OR Skybound Entertainment. At this point, all three universes, the Show, the Comics and the Games have collided. (Even though the Games are actually based on the comics, therefore set in the same universe.) Sounds…
Which AoT Bundle should I buy? Help
Since AoT skins will leave the fog, I decided to make a poll that will help me determine which bundle is better. I don't have any bias towards characters on each bundle to make it fair for your guys opinions on what to choose. I only plan to buy both of them but decided to just buy 1 because even if it costs 12 dollars in…
Should the band Ice Nine Kills be apart of Dead by Daylight
Would You Rather: Extra Perk Slot or Extra Add-On Slot
So today I want to discuss a hypothetical that would probably never be added because it would probably be a balancing nightmare, but its still a fun idea to success. Let's say DBD added a feature where you can gain an extra perk or addon slot, but you have to give up one of the option you didnt choose. You could go into a…
What is your favorite killer category to play against?
You can only choose one! Pyramid Head, Deathslinger, Legion, and Doctor were left off.
If more Resident Evil SURVIVORS were added to DBD as a Default/Legendary, which would you choose?
---Survivors--- Ashley Graham: From RESIDENT EVIL 4, preferable the remake, with or without the jacket is fine. She could come in as either a default Survivor, or a Legendary Set for Leon or Ada. Perhaps Leon, just for the 'RE' memes. Barry Burton: From RE1, OG RE3, Revelations AND the RE5 Mercenaries mode. He can be…
Which Dark Fantasy/Thriller Anime License would you wanna see as DBD Cosmetics?
The Attack On Titan skins were a success for regular DBD players, lovers of the show, and anime fans in general. But now it's been a year, and in 9 days (July 13, 2022; correct me if I'm wrong), the AOT skins will leave the game, never to return. Another license lost, but on the bright side, it now opens the door to other…
I updated the perk so who think this should be a perk to help with killers slugging?
Which of these perks would you say is the strongest?
Give Singularity the option to reboot EMP'ed biopod cameras instead of having to replace each one?
