Solo queue is extremely frustrating when your supposed top MMR teammates don't know what they're doing and your killer of course knows it all. There needs to be a better method of communication between teammates, this is becoming borderline impossible to win without perk reliancy (another debate). Please add voicechat…
Should SWF be shown in post game lobby
As the title says, should SWF be shown in post game lobby?
Which Bioshock Monster Would Make the Best Killer?
I just realized that Bioshock would be an excellent source to draw from for Dead By Daylight. I feel like the same thing they did with Resident Evil would serve the game best. Something from each game. Killer, survivor, location. Like, for example, a Big Sister for the Killer, Booker & Elizabeth for Survivors, and Fort…
If Dbd did another Anime/Manga Collab, which would you want to see first?
Bonus Options: Ghost In The Shell, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Akame Ga Kill!, Dorodo, Devilman Crybaby, Psycho-Pass, Zom 100: Bucket List of The Dead, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and maybe Ghost Stories, etc, etc. And if you're THAT guy/girl who doesn't choose a thriller anime, though I'd prefer if you did... Then there's…
Should slowdown perks be limited to 2 slots but be buffed across the board
Just a bit of a thought experiment, what if you could only bring 2 slowdown perks but they were buffed across the board Some examples of perks that count as slowdown and a buff they might get (or perks being buffed into being viable slowdown) Ruin now gives 200% regression Huntress lullaby now hides skillchecks completely…
Should Xbox players be compensated for the delayed anniversary event update?
It would make sense for Xbox players to be compensated because they are missing out on daily login rewards, blood points, and prizes from playing the event.

Do you think light burning should be brought back to DBD?
Do you think light burning should be brought back to the game, if you did not play during the time of Light burning you could remove the hags traps, artists crows, stun the wraith while cloaked, and stun a nurse charging a blink with a flashlight.
What should be done with map offerings?
So i have heard alot of people complain about map offerings and was curious what people think should be done with them.
Which "hold the game hostage" killer would you rather face
Killers that could slow the game down tons or just hold it hostage entirely (Before the gen damage block mechanic. Solo q)
Who takes the #3 spot for killer currently?
With the past few updates and chapter releases, there has been new contestants for the top 3 spot for killer as far as tier list goes. We can all agree on Nurse being #1 and Blight being #2, but I’m curious as to who people consider #3 in the current game and its state. Let me know who you feel deserves the #3 spot if I…
Which character would you like to see the most for the upcoming chapter 32.5 paragraph?
Revert Chucky Changes from 8.0.0 PTB
Chucky doesn't need any nerfs to his scamper or a buff to his slice n dice, its already impossible to chain scamper and get a hit with the easy run back counter play, and slice n dice is a high speed attack from stealth with a balanced and fair cooldown for missing. Pls BHVR do not touch his basekit, maybe do an add on…
Do you think the current anti-camp feature should be more effective against proxy-camping the area?
Details:
MMR
mmr needs to go back to the way it was it makes the game not worth playing the only grind now is p100
Tenacious D in Dead by Daylight? Yes or no
Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Reason I ask is because Nick Cage got in and Iron Maiden, so this one is kinda both.
*IF* D&D is the next chapter
What killer do you think would be best?
do you want fnaf to ever come to dbd
this is to help the devs get a general percentage
Is Billy now fun to play AS and AGAINST
With the buffs to Billy, I wanted to see what the community thinks to the "fun-ness" of Billy.
How many hooks..
Would you have to see before the first survivor is sacrificed to say they didn’t get tunneled? Personally if no one dies till 5 hooks that feels like the minimum to say they didn’t tunnel to me.
Should pennywise be chapter 32?
Pennywise the dancing clown is a projection of a higher more sinister force of evil in the world or more specificly Derry main. In the fictional tale of the losers club versus pennywise the killer clown (Stephen King's it) we see a group of young men accompanied by a young girl take on the impossible. Some could say they…
Nemesis Zombies poll
Add weapons in cases with limited ammunition to fight off zombies, nemesis will have more zombies on the other hand(from infection levels or whatever) would be cool mainly because there are only 2 zombies and they aren't that fun, bodyblocking not just survivors but even killer himself. I believe Nemesis should also kill…
Background Player
I wanted to see how people feel about this perk and how healthy it is for the game. To me it feels like it removes a lot of the skill of landing flashlights and even worse also removes nearly all of the killers counter play bar the random luck of being near a wall.
Which cross-map instadown killer is stronger?
Not specifically their abilities to instadown survivors in long ranges, but which killer in general is stronger?
Anti tunnel used offensively
So the base kit anti tunnel mechanic was implemented to of course aid the person being unhooked from being tunneled. My question here is, how often in your games as killer is the anti tunnel feature used offensively to body block for the unhooker instead of its intended purpose? I ask this because I feel like the mechanic…
What are your thoughts on the Slipknot collab?
I think it okay, my only gripes are that the Survivors don't have Slipknot t-shirts, and we didn't get a background theme. Compared to this, I'd say what they did Iron Maiden was kinda better, feels like it had more. And I think Billy's should've also gotten a full set, you could've definitely given him an electric guitar…
what chapters does everybody want
ima name a few but dont worry you can name your own
What Niche Chapter, Paragraph or Collection would you like to see?
Rob Zombie x House of 1000 Corpses: Rob Zombie as a Survivor, his cosmetics can be what he wears in all his music videos, and his lobby music can be either the HO1C theme song, or "Living Dead Girl". As for the Firefly Trilogy, all the Fireflys including Captain Spaulding, maybe not all, could be Legendary Sets for…
Do you think that there should be 5 perk slots?
What are your thoughts on this? Would this be too strong? Or is this something that should be considered?
What Is Your Average Playtime Per Day (Within The Past Week/Month)?
Below I have provides a rough time estimates of Hours Per Day spent playing DBD; this does not have to do with "Total Hours Spent Playing DBD", this is solely about how your average playtime per day within a recent period of time. Responses such as "Does Not Play Consistent Enough To Have A Definite Average" and "Would…
disarming trapper's traps
Should his traps have skill check at the last part to represent if the survivor moved their hand out of the way before it closes? If they fail the check then they are stuck in it like normal.
Fun gimmicks for the anniversary event that resembles real party games.
The party pallets are fun for chases (and I hope they come back for the event in june), but what other gimmicks can turn objectives just as fun? Every match could get a random gimmick to keep the event fresh, i don't know. It works while a survivor is being carried by the killer. Complete a sabotage action using an event…
Dead Hard
Perk needs a buff/rework?
Should Mouse + Keyboard support be allowed on console?
This is my personal take: There is cross play already in the game, I don't see how this would cause an imbalance in the game. (Games like Apex, R6 etc, impose heavy restrictions on it's usage, mainly due to the fact that the games don't feature cross play.) HOWEVER, console players could use this to their advantage by…
how toxic is dbd and its player base in your experience?
i am doing a documentary for my class on toxicity in gaming communities and was looking to collect data for dbd! you can explain more in the comments if needed if you're interested in helping me with a more detailed response, here is a google form :) thanks so much in-game: end game chat, bm, disconnecting, steam-profile…
Character likeness
Hopefully one day we will get our dlc characters to look like the their actors… I am mostly talking about Ripley, Laurie, Cheryl, Quentin, Tapp and maybe others that I missed Do you guys care about such stuff or is it just me?
Should "Friends 'til the End" disable after the last gen pops?
The perk: You will kill anyone who gets between you and your target. When you hook any Survivors that is not the Obsession, the following effects apply to the Obsession: Their Aura is revealed for 6/8/10 seconds. They suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 20 seconds. When you hook the Obsession, the following effects…
more interactive perks
you guys like perks which include more interactions and not just certain stats like run/heal/gen speed? I am talking about stuff like: Head On Dead Hard Flashbang Decisive Strike Potential Energy Chemical Trap Blast Mine/Wiretap Invocation Diversion Deception Any Means Necessary They have interactions with timing,…
Is the game balanced around 4 man SWF on coms?
As the title says, do you think the game is balanced around a 4 man swf on coms? So it's a "fair" match with both sides having an equal chance of winning. Not implying anyone shouldn't be able to play with their friends or that anything should be changed in this post. This is simply a straight forward question of if you…

Should killer or survivior get buffed? And why?
why is the community quitting dbd?
i've seen a lot of content creators and even some fog wispers leaving the game for various reasons,but im curious if the average players is feeling the same as the content creators or is it something else,would love to see your opinions in the comments and hopefully we as a community can stand up and let behaviour know how…
Has anyone else noticed a rise in cheaters/exploiters?
I've been reporting a lot of blatant hackers and recieved confirmation of their ban.
When You Play Fair, Do You Get Treated Fairly?
I play the game primarily for just having fun. I do not tunnel, camp, bring overpowered items, or act like a tryhard as either a killer or a survivor. However, whenever I play killer rounds fairly, I often get punished. There was a teabagging Nancy, yet I did not tunnel nor camp her. And the funny thing is, she was…
If you had to main one of the following killers for 1 year, who would you choose?
Is The Plague overpowered?
I swear it's impossible to survive against a good Plague on an open map. Once you're infected you're literally exposed but also groan and cough, making it so easy for her to find you. If you cleanse yourself you just make her power stronger. If the entire team is infected, then one person decides to cleanse themselves,…

Who would purchase a “Billy Loomis” and/or “Stu Macher” skin for Ghostface?
I personally loved the original Scream (1996). I was excited just to see the “Classic” skin get released and bought it almost immediately. Just a show of hands, who’d like to see these skins come to Dead By Daylight?
How's everyone feeling about the game right now?
Playing the game again after a rather lengthy break and I'm just curious how the fine people on the forums are feeling about the game right now. Personally, I'm feeling pretty good about the game. Lots of cool new stuff like the modifiers and whatnot. Of course there is silly balancing and some bugs but sure we're all used…
