are you excited about the new changes?
i'm actually going to be a killer main. i always played both sides but now i'm tired of the amount of doctors. i'm not touching solo survivor ever again. and in my opinion breakable walls sound like a bad idea it doesn't really fit in the game.. but my opinion might change when we get more information. toolbox nerfes sound…
Shoulds Keys and Broken Keys have different models?
Both share the same model and add-ons, but serve different purposes, so as a Killer or even as a fellow teammate you can never be sure which one a Survivor is holding. So again, should they have different models?

Today's Teachables: Ace Visconti
Btw, almost done, just 3 more characters after Ace. His Teachables: Open-Handed, Up The Ante, Ace In The Hole. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Ace Perks?
Today's Teachables: Danny "Jed Olsen" "The Ghost Face" Johnson
His Teachables: I'm All Ears, Thrilling Tremors, Furtive Chase. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Ghost Face Perks?
Third person camera for killer
I have always had a hard time with any game with a 1st person camera and I want to learn killer. Rank 2 survivor and have been trying killer for a couple weeks now and it seems difficult. Just wanted to know if anyone else as this problem I’m sure it’s not just me. And please don’t come down on me and talk bad or troll.…
DERP FACE. Yes or No?
Hi, I like Ghostface, but really hate the idea of Derpface coming into the game. I know some of the cosmetics are slightly silly, but I believe the killers should maintain an air of creepiness. What about you?
Have you started playing clown after Mr.Puddles came out?
Just curious.
Which rank reset do you prefer?
Rank reset might have been reverted to the classic rank reset this month. It might just be bugged. Do you prefer it this way, or do you want them to go back to how it was last month?
Today's Teachables: Steve Harrington
His Teachables: Babysitter, Camaraderie, Second Wind. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Steve Perks?
What Perk (Survivor) can actually be good
Thou they are not top tier survivor perks, which perk is the most underrated to you
Who do you think the new killer is?
Ignore "Hasslinge"
How many dc penalties you got from bugs, crashes etc.?
Me? None. I play a lot. Platform ps4 pro. My game crashes very rarely and never during a game. Same goes for the connection. I don't know if I'm the exception seeing so many people complaining.
Today's Teachables: "The Demogorgon"
Its Teachables: Surge, Mindbreaker, Cruel Limits. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Demogorgon Perks?
Do you average 12 hours in game without a game breaking bug/infinite loading screen/crash/ect....?
Because I don't. According to Paulie, the DC punishment goes like this. 1st = 1 minute 2nd = 5 minutes 3rd = 15 minutes 4th = 30 minutes 5th = 1 hour 6th = 6 hours 7th = 24 hours It takes 12 hours with no DC's to lower you penalty level one level. If this goes live like this, I expect a lot of players being banned shortly…
Should disarm Traps has a skill check?
After 2sec of disarming animation, there will be a skill check as 120% large as Gen skill check (super large) Then the Coil addon will make the skill check smaller (Brown 110% size of Gen skillcheck; Yellow 85%; Green 70%; Purple 55%; Red doesnt spawn skillcheck). If you fail skill check, you will be injured from healthy,…
What System do you use for Dead By Daylight.
Just a curious thought I wondered what people mostly used for playing DBD in 2019. I wont include a multiple option as I want the primary gaming platform you have used for 2019 to play DBD. I wont include Mobile as it's in select counties in beta and limited to a very small pool.
If you had to play one role for 24 hours which would you choose?
As much as it would frustrate me i’d have to go with killer. It would be a great learning experience so there’s that. Which would you choose and why? How long would it take before you start to loose it?
Most fun way to play the game where no one is mad in the end?

Today's Teachables: Ashley "Ash" Joanna Williams
His Teachables: Flip-Flop, Buckle Up, Mettle Of Man. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Ash Perks?
Do you want The Pig to be buffed?
To me shes one of my favorite killers but shes sooooo underwhelming and weak at red ranks so I never get to play her unless its rank reset.
Is Jane a skinny legend?
What Is The Worst Killer
As it stands now there are 5 bad killers: Wraith, Doc, Leatherface, Clown, and Legion. Which of these killers do you find to be the worst? Some people also say Freddy is bad. No idea why but OK.
Anyone want to play as a killer, why?
Hi team, I believe that there are fewer killers since you fixed the ruin and that's why it takes a long time to find a game with uneven levels. I believe that you should made another perk like the old ruin. In this way the main killers enjoy the game again. Thanks for your time
Should NOED be reworked to counter key plays?
Instead of NOED being activated after the last generator, It activates after the hatch spawns and It could spawn from 1-3 gens depending how many survivors are left. If the killer runs with Devour hope, there's a totem waiting to be broken in the beginning of the match, same idea with the reworked NOED, one of the dull…

Thoughts on The Clown
I'm just curious. No other reason... probably.
What is wrong with the match making :( Im all of a sudden facing high ranks as a rank 17 killer why?
What is wrong with the match making?
Nurse or Freddy overall.
Not preference. Who do you think is overall the stronger killer? No console limitations or anything. Just each killer working at their peak on any platform. This is to settle an argument...
Do you think that BP earnings should increase ?
Do you think that the amount of BP you earn should be increased with all the perks for new players and players still upgrading, it makes for a very lengthy process getting all the perks for your killers and survivors especially when they’re only going to keep adding more perks and killers making you have to play this game…
Designed The Rich's power, what next?
I've designed The Rich's power and now I need to move to the next stage. Some people have suggested to me that I change the name of The Rich and that alternate name would be The Manager, comment below if I should.
One Mori Question
Hey guys! I'll be brief because there is a 0.01% chance that this hasn't been discussed before, but would you all like to see map dependent moris? Struck me at work and I kept thinking how cool it might be.
Which one of these A-tier killers is the strongest in your opinion?
By “strongest”, I mean a killer who’s mechanic’s are extremely helpful for applying pressure on survivors doing generators, getting survivors downed fast, and one who has few or none counter-plays available.
What is the best indicator of a killer with high skill?
Imagine, an M1 killer with a 4-man SWF party
Okay, I'd played as the Pig against an optimal 4-man SWF party with meta perks + OoOs on rotten fields. I managed to get 1 kill thanks to the endgame build. I don't think I need to explain how matches go with such teams... How should I take the match results?
Today's Teachables: Jane Romero
Her Teachables: Solidarity, Poised, Head On. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Jane Perks?
Should pennywise🎈be the next licensed killer?!?
🎈🎈🎈before u dismiss this as a troll or a waste of time... take a second to think to yourself, how badass would it be to have a reality manipulator/ fear driven killer on the loose who could potentially revamp if not fix everything wrong with dead by daylight, band together with me and let’s show the Devs that pennywise…
Today's Teachables: Kate Denson
Btw, i'm over halfway now with this kind of poll! 🤩 So i'll definitely be doing all of them. 😋 Her Teachables: Dance With Me, Windows Of Opportunity, Boil Over. Which of the 3 would you put in your last Perk slot if that slot only allowed Kate Perks?
How Do You Feel Playing Survivor Now?
Voting options are divided between whether you play mostly Solo or SWF when playing Survivor. Mostly meaning more than 50% in this case. Please consider how you feel when playing whichever type you play most when voting. Killer Mains are free to vote too.
Which survivor usually gives you the hardest time as killer?
Which survivor character do you find gives you the worst time as killer? Which tends to be the most obnoxious or toxic?
Legosi from "Beastars" as new survivor?
I think Legosi would make a great survivor for the game, as he fits the whole theme very well; I think there could definitely be perks to befit his personality and traits, just don't know exactly what yet. I thought about it before, and coincidentally, I stumbled upon a picture on the internet of his model in front of the…
Which ranking system do you prefer currently?
Yes, the MMR system is not out yet, but this is just your opinion off what BHVR gave us so far
Survivors:SWF or solo?
Interested in how survivors play and the main pc/console platform for our dbd community.
