First thing that should be reworked
What should be the first thing Behaviour reworks and focuses on.
Should victor have a top hat
I think we need to fight for a skin where victor runs around with a top hat
Bans on or off
Im really curious guys what u like more. Bans to be turned on or off. I mean leaving penalty on/off Poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/42301631
make kindred base kit for solo q survivors?
Should those limited redemption codes continue?
I am from Taiwan, and my English is not very good, so I try to express my meaning, hope everyone can understand. Sweaters, crow pendants, fruit cakes, many things are released through limited redemption codes. Do you think this method is good? Is there any other better way?
If there's a new original chapter, what realm do you want the map to be?
We have had 2 original chapters without a new map, so I feel like we'll get one soon. Which do you think it will be/want it to be? (Autohaven, MacMillian, and Coldwind excluded because they have 5 each. Also licensed realms)
Best killer gen slowdown perk?
Just wanted to see what you guys think is the best overall gen slowdown perk ?
Should we get another jumpscare killer?
We often forget that this is a horror game since not many of them feature jumpscares like fat mirror Myers or Hag can do. So how about the next killer is all about those elements and got some sick jumpscares? Yay or nay?
Chapter Releases
After reviewing bE's statement on chapters (click here if you missed it) it brought to light a question I've been pondering over for the last couple years. Would the community rather have solid chapter releases with more time spent on bug fixing or more content and dealing with the bugs on a regular basis? Community, let…
Which Survivor feels like YOU the most?
Compendium Progress Lost
Hello all! I tried searching but couldn’t find a thread. Has anyone else lost progress on a compendium they were working on? I switched from a survivor to killer then back to survivor and I lost 5/8 totems to cleanse
Would you rather have a new map next chapter or another graphics update?
Your opinion on new moris
So, guys, what do you think? Let's see how it is.
How should BHVR approach balancing?
The meta at this point has become rather stale for survivors while the killer meta is just slowly adjusting to when essentially the best gen-slowing perk gets nerfed and hardly much else changes. BBQ/DS is basically guarenteed to be ran in every game and we all continue to get spammed with meme perks like Déjà vu in our…
How many people want a comprehensive rework for Legion?
How many of you want Legion to be well...an actually Legion? To have a power that both represents the actual concept of them, is fun, and is both good but fair?
Dark soul chapter - which boss would you like to see?
Making a dark souls chapter concept. Which boss would you like to see the most? (I'll do a separate poll for Bloodborne)
Alternate Gamemodes
What alternate gamemodes would you want the most and why?
Do we need to change the Blindness Status Effect?
I don't see many killers run blindness add-ons to their base power anymore and I can't remember the last time I saw a killer run Hex: The Third Seal. The blindness status effect isn't really used much anymore. When a survivor is affected with this, they can still see the bubble that appears when a survivor is hooked or…
Not Important from Hatred as killer
Been playing a bit of Hatred lately and it made me think of how well Not Important would fit into DBD. He sure loves killing and he's good with a knife and boots. But Hatred received a ton of backlash and criticism for being too grimdark, misanthropic and edgy. So what do you think? Would you like a cross-over with Hatred…
A Possible Solution For Pips And De-Ranking
It's been like this for a while now, if you lose a match due to someone disconnecting, performance and progress is haltered due to this. This shouldn't be the reason to lose a pip because someone else chose to disconnect by rage quitting or just giving up so easy, we've all been there. We've all lost a match or so due to…

I would like at least 50 responses and rn I have 34.
DBD balancing survey
I need at least 50 responses for the data to be statistically significant, I need at least 20 more. :)
Are you happy with the new chapter?
This might be one of the buggest and unfinished chapters to be released. From Victor getting stuck in the ground to not even being able to use his pounce. So I was wondering if other are upset as I am with this update.
Which Killer Needs a Rework?
Not Just a Killer suggestion
Im suggesting dead by daylight try making a Jaon Todd Candyman. Also Rick Grimes or Glen as survivors. We've seen Rick on the move while being prety bloody and Glen... we've seen Glen... popeyes sounds good right now. Plus if we can bring in what I call Celebrities for Survival I vote Kevin Hart be asked for his…
Which killer is the worst to go against?
Which killer do you think is too powerful and unfair to play against? Are there any that you just don't like going against? I personally hate going against the spirit. I just think it's so annoying to suddenly have her spring on you while peacefully doing a gen and those little 'glitches' that the spirit does automatically…
is this Decisive Strike fair?
a killer hooks a survivor and starts a new chase. the survivor gets unhooked and gets on a gen. the killer finish his chase and hooks this new survivor and sees the first survivor on the gen first survivor finished the gen and gets downed instantly due to not healing killer gets DS'ed by the first survivor. Is this fair…
Petition to delay the 19th chapter to the 5th anniversary (In June) instead of March.
Due to the new problems we get in the 18th DLC called "A binding of Kin", the amount of bugs is literally rise even the fact that the new chapter was released to LIVE servers officially broken... I'm understand that this solution can not be easily taken to release it because the company will lose a lot of money but I,…
Very different tournament idea(revised)
So I took feedback from the last poll(https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/210324/very-different-tournament-idea-acting#latest) and decided that the idea was really badly done, so I made a revised idea: Instead of individual survivors competing, there are teams of 5(killer included) making their own machinima…
hey dbd community! do you like steve harrington's voice?
Hi all! well, I've been browsing the internet (reddit, twitter, youtube, etc) I have found different opinions on this topic. So, do you like Steve's voice? would you like bhvr to contact joe kerry or someone else? (It wouldn't be weird, after all, they did the same with Kate)
Is this a good change to Autodidact?
I’ve been thinking about Autodidact lately and how, with minimal effort, the Devs could make it into a very solid perk. The main issue with the perk is sometimes you just don’t get any skill checks. What if you could press the active ability button during a heal to instantly trigger a skill check once per heal? This would…
Very Different Tournament Idea- Acting
Yep, this is an idea. Just to clarify, this is not an invitation, just a way to gauge if this is a good idea or not, and if people would be willing to participate in it. Basically, people(preferably people who can play survivor and killer) would play dead by daylight as normal, with one exception- They have to act like…
I'F you can just equip 1 meta perk
what will you choose? I will choose ds or sp idk😝
Stop the Birthday Entry Step
Why have that extra step when visiting the site? It's not confirmed and no one will put in an underage date.
Map Add-on to show pallets and windows?
Not a lot of map add-ons I find overly useful, but I feel like this would make it useful to all players especially new ones, especially when it comes to potentially saving a team mate. Perk to addon comparison OoO & Dark Sense = Blood Amber to see killer Aura Bond & Kindred = Wedding ring, Gold & Eroded Token to see…
How do you feel about Mettle of Man?
Mettle of Man has seen a DRASTIC change compared to its original almost entirely thanks to two words: Protection Hits. No longer the meta perk it used to be, MoM definitely requires much more effort to pull off than simply strapping it on. How do you feel about it? Killer Mains? How do you feel about facing someone with…
Talbot: Did He Get Ladies?
You telling me this man had a dope cane and a sharp jawline before becoming goopy sonic the hedgehog?? Yall think he got the lassies down in Scotland or nah?
Should we have a Community Update?
What if we all came together as a community and designed a massive community update? Like all problems that are currently present are addressed and fixed by the community working in conjunction with the developers? We added features that we want and fixed/buffed perks to make them all equally viable and shake up the meta?…
Do you think Object of Obsession is fine?
It´s been a hot topic for the longest time. Is it fine as it is or does it need changes? What do you think?
What do you wish to change in the game most of all?
Even if you want to choose multiple choices here, please choose the biggest and most urgent change, in your opinion.
Billy at his heyday
The video says everything. Just look at the chainsaw cooldown and at the charge time, and how the add ons actually did matter. And this is even on Lery's, not the best billy map, imagine if it had been on rotten fields. AFTER HAVING SEEN THE VIDEO, the question now is: after considering his actual strength before the nerf,…
Is self care a good perk to run by itself?
What would you be more excited about getting in the game?
Which female killer is the most waifu worthy?
There's only one right answer: spirit
Do you think survivors/killers should have linked offering inventories
Do you think survivors / killers should (separately for each side) have a linked offering inventory across all survivors and killers (doesn't get reset for prestige because its shared)
Which of these do you find to be the most problematic?
Curious what the community finds the most problematic between these three. I actually don’t find slugging to be all that bad, But really despise being tunneled.
SERIOUS poll: Is decisive strike fine?
So I'm writing this due to the recent "formal" dissing in the general discussions. Now, as a killer with 1600 hrs ( this is my profile btw http://steamcommunity.com/id/Leonardo1ita) my question is, is actually decisive strike a balanced perk? is there any counter, especially the most used arguments are that is combined…
Time For A More Obscure Pick: How Do You Feel About Sirenhead?
Alright its time for a classic "SCP_FOR_DBD is sleep deprived and not thinking clearly" post. Todays BS is the one and only Sirenhead! Of course his height would need to be adjusted but I think it could work. A power based around misdirecton and a unique TR that has his sirens blaring could be really cool imo. Please note…
Most Difficult Achievement
I just want to see the different responses to this, although I also accidentally pressed enter instead of Tab so there's no Other option on this.
