Insidious Rework?
I have a couple thousand hours in this game, and don't remember ever seeing insidious being used in a skillful play. Instead, killers only use it to camp, making Borrowed Time also not work because of the lack of Terror Radius. In my opinion insidious is an outdated perk and should be either removed or reworked to add more…
Who is your fav Survivor?
I’m curious and most discussions and pools end up turning Toxic with the replies so I want to make a positive poll :D
Do you like black licorice?
Today's Strength: The Survive With Friends Survivors (NO Voice-Chat)
For an explanation on what i mean with "strength" with Survivors, please read this poll: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/166859/todays-strength-the-solo-survivors For this example, we got: The Survive With Friends Survivors (NO voice-chat) For these Survivor polls, i'd like for you to imagine every poll that…
Do you play mostly male or female Survivors?
Been noticing a trend in my games and wanted to see if its accurate or not
What's Your Overall Rating On: Jeff's Teachable Perks
Jeff is possibly the least-played Survivor in the game, and I really don't get why, especially considering his meme status as "Jesus". And personally, I love his teachable perks. They're my favourite of any Survivor. If you don't know what they are, here: Breakdown: Any time you are unhooked or unhook yourself,…
What do you think about 5 perks?
We have a lot of chapter, and a lot of perk acctualy, what do you think about survivor and killer if they could use 5 perks?
The Executioner Chase Music, PTB vs Live
Hi everyone, if you played or watched the Chapter 16 PTB, you probably noticed that Pyramid Head's chase music is different in the live version. I wanted to know which one of those versions is the best and why. I personally prefer the PTB version over the actual chase music, but feel free to explain your choices in the…
Should old rifts be able to be bought for double the price?
I played through all of tome 1 and almost got the vial charm in the rift, but I quit the game for some reason. Now I kinda regret doing this. While some may say 'that's what you get' I feel its a bit unnecessary. Now I get the time limit, but I dislike the fact I can't do the following: I can't reset tome challenges -…
Open Handed Change
So, I think no one really uses Open Handed besides some poor souls like me. And I really, really would like to see Open Handed slightly changed or reworked to a degree. So here some Ideas I had where I really would like your opinion on it.
Today's Strength: The Survive With Friends Survivors (Voice-Chat)

Would you like to see Medusa as a killer?
I personally would really enjoy to play as the gorgon herself and turn people to stone.
As Ghostface....
If I find a surv at the very start of my match. Should i 99 him and move on? Or down him?
Would you like to see this original killer?
Ok guys, i sincerely lack the skills to create a proper banner for a new killer, so i am only going to explain my idea. With the release of piramid head we really need a new original killer. So listen up and if you like it vote it and bring this to BHVR attention Welcome the Hive! This killer is based on One of human most…
Who is your favorite survivor? Males
I kind of know who is going to be at the top but please vote who you like. Perks, cosmetics, story, and who you like should be taken into account. At those are part of the character
What did you prefer Dead By Daylight or Friday 13th
You're on the DBD forum, but that doesn't necessarily mean you prefer/red Dead By Daylight over Friday 13th: The Game. I'm interested to know how people feel. Imagine if Friday 13th never had the lawsuit or had overcome it. Or has DBD excelled and become better than F13 ever was? Which do you believe was the best?
Should Legion be reworked?
Personally I am not satisfied, although Legion is in a much better state since release, they don't feel like they're great. And the potential the killer has with the character concept and lore is just so good! But I want to see what other people think!
Today's Strength: The Solo Survivors
Survivors will obviously require a different definition of "strength". Now what you consider to be strength is up to you, you're free to think whatever it means. But these polls all depend on my definition of it. For Killers, the definition was to consistently kill all 4. So for Survivors, the definition will be to escape…
Would you like to see one of these classics in DBD?
So I was wondering if any wish to see any of these classics within this game?
tired of dc penalty.
It's just not working out. The idea is to punish people who are purposefully quitting matches out of grief either as a troll or because they don't want to face x killer with x mori. Yet, the system is illogical, because it does not take into effect times when entire lobbies crash due to server overload/server glitches. It…
Favorite playable event and why?
I'm curious which event everyone has found the most fun to play in. For example I'm curious how many people like the crown acquisition system for this event. Note that I don't care your opinion on the reward for each event, just your enjoyment from participating in the event in the first place. Events that are grouped…
Archives pop-up is really annoying after every match. Get rid of it.
Even when I'm not going after a challenge in the archive, it's really invasive and annoying as all hell. Get rid of it or move it please, it covers up the chatbox so I can't see what people are saying at the end of a match while this annoying and very useless thing is in the way.
Need your opinion: Toxic/Fair ?
I would really like to hear what people think about this: Last night I played an interesting match, which caused some controversy in the post-game chat, to say the least. PRE-GAME: Killer: Leatherface. Realm: Springwood Ranks : Survivor = 2 red(one of them being me), 1 purple, 1 green Killer = Green(?) FWIW, Bubba is just…
Mori and keys
Do you feel keys and mori are toxic for the game or not?
Favorite chase theme part 2
What the title says, it has been a while since I last made this poll and a lot of chase themes have been added, overall, which is your favorite one Blood trail No place to hide Closing in The one that goes BONK BONK BONK (couldnt find the name sorry D:) Myers chase theme Demodoggos chase theme Oni chase theme Doctors chase…
Rename Diversion as Pebble?
The Devs told us in the loading screen. Diversion should be called Pebble. But what do you think?
What role did you play first?
Simple as the title says. Did you play survivor or killer first?
Making DS Fair and Easily Counterable
1. DS still activates after being unhooked 2. It only lasts for 30 seconds 3. It pauses while in chase and stays paused out of chase for 10 seconds 4. It can be used both times you are unhooked 5. It is automatic rather than requiring a skill-check 6. If the killer is in stealth, then DS will stay paused until you make 30…
The chase music and terror radius should go silent whenever Spirit start to phase walk
Whenever Spirit starts phase walking she is supposed to make some sort of vacuum sound but its difficult to hear it because of the loud terror radius/chase music. It's like playing against old prayer beads which we all know was very boring and annoying. Also same goes for Spirit due to the loud music she won't always hear…
Today's Realm: Yamaoka Estate
Which of the 2 maps in Yamaoka Estate do you like the most, and as which role?
Which Survivor Has The Best Teachable Perks?
There are a lot of teachable perks in the game. Naturally, some Survivors have better teachable perks than others. Who has the best ones?
The Pig and the Head Trap
I believe that there is a huge disadvantage when playing against The Pig. Whenever I get a Head Trap put on me, the killer usually farms my ass and goes after me right away over and over hooking me until I'm dead. I understand that the head trap is a grace period when the killer can't focus on you, but I also believe that…
Which role do you prefer playing?
Today's Strength: The Oni
For an explanation on what "strength" entails for these polls, please refer to the first entry of this series: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1337293 For this example, we got: The Oni How good do you rate him at sacrificing all 4 Survivors?
Idea for a new mechanic for early game
Add mechanical switches around the map that have a yellow wire leading to it fliping the switch will allow the gen to be repaired the killer can re flip the switch relocking the gen. If the gen is damaged while locked it will regress at 75 % normal speed with ruin it will regress at 100% speed and go back to what it was…

BOND OR DARK SENSE
So I need an aura reading perk and I'm not sure if I want bond or dark sense. I am leaning towards bond but I would love to hear your opinion 😊
What if-- Scooby Gang survivors/killer/map in DBD?
Get David short shorts
Who thinks David should have a short short cosmetic like Feng Min
perk win rates
can we have an chard with every win rate of all perks in the game so that the developers can see which perk to buff.
Who would like to see a werewolf killer like wolf man but maybe a little more werewolf like?
His ability can be like terrifying howl when if a survivor is within 40 meters the scream in terror revealing themself and becoming unaware and his other ability is killer instincts where his senses are heightened for 20 seconds letting him hear breathing footsteps and other movements 70% better.
What makes a Perk worth picking for you?
I'm curious what it is that keeps the META of perks (Survivor and Killer) so stale over all. While there's a few new builds here and there, over all at the higher ranks you don't see much variation over all. Survivor side seems to have ~10 perks you'll see in rotation and Killer seems to have about the same amount even…
Add Colin to Dead by Daylight
If you can take Silent Hill’s iconic Pyramid Head and throw him into such a popular game, you can definitely find space for the newest and more ICONIC addition of Colin. Now, I realise he may or may not be a pedophile but it’s rude to dwell on someone’s past decisions. I really feel like the addition of Colin would add a…
Crossplay Advantages-Give your opinion
When crossplay live. What do u think about gameplays between pc and consoles players? Anyone have an advatange in your opinion? Please describe your opinion.
Should Gifting & Trading be allowed in dead by daylight?
I think Trading and Gifting in this game would be great and amazing and even if we never get trading, gifting would be very kind and fun. There is pros and cons like helping friends out and scammers etc. What do you think??
What classic monster would you like to become a killer?
Picture the classic Universal monsters as killers!
Least Fun Killer to Play
This is largely so the devs can get more info on which killers could use changes, not because of balance but because of how fun they are to play as. Note: Killers listed are the ones I hear complains about the most.
Should midwitch's prescool need a special effect at the start of the trail?
I'm not saying it must have but it could be really cool, the effect I'm talking about is that at the start of the trail, when you hear the siren everything starts being darker and the wall starts doing that thing until the map gets scarier, this obviously requires a lot of work and they have to take their time to make it…
