General Thoughts On Nostromo Wreckage (Map)?
I wanted to wait awhile before getting a general idea of the balancing of the name map, this way more people have time to play on the map and get an understanding of it. Poll is made anonymous so you can vote without being judged, just give your honest opinion on the map. If you want to go into more detail, feel free to…
Should I Play Oni Exclusively for 1 Month
I play on a console so no flicks on the sticks :'(.
What if we had an Iron Maiden killer and survivor?
We run from Eddie the Head and survive with the band members ? And the skins for Eddie were the different ones from the album covers ? Survivors have Iron Maiden merch ?
About Saboteur Description
After unsuccesful sabotage I started to doubt exact sabotage seconds precisely. I recorded a short video, opened it in video editor and went it through frame by frame to figure out that Saboteur (whole animation) actually takes 2,4 seconds, but sabotaging action (when the meter starts to fill) takes about 2,25-2,3 seconds.…
Tired Of Being Camped & Tunneled Out Of Games. It’s No Fun
Basement Hook Campers, Killers That Eyeball To Eyeball You While On Hook, Killers That Circle The Hook. Tunneling People Out The Game One By One
Will the Devs ever patch the glitched ps5 trophies?
It’s been months and there’s around 10+ trophies on ps5 that are literally unobtainable. I feel like the devs do not care to fix this
The forbidden question.
is the game killer or survivor sided? Edit: Assume everyone has meta builds and the killer is only tunneling when necessary.
Should dbd add a killer fov slider
It seems crazy to me that I have to waste a perk slot every game to increase fov (i get headaches without it), and still have worse sight than survivors 3rd person perspective. When survivors get 16 perks to killers 4 this really lowers the potential of my builds. I can't think of any negative from the survivor side to…
Is Noed a balanced perk
Should bots miss skillchecks?
Sometimes bots miss skillchecks and it might happen more than once or twice! To me, it seems to happen too often, from my limited observations! So, should bots miss skillchecks?
As a survivor, what is the most overpowered killer perk?
From your perspective as a survivor, what is the most overpowered killer perk and why?
Dilemma of unbalanced matchmaking
The ideal is obviously a match where the ranks of the survivors are balanced with each other AND the survivors team are balanced with the killer. But here there is no perfect solution, you must choose your preference between two imbalances. Keep in mind that the imbalance may be to the advantage of the killer as well as…
Bots - Keep them or Not in live games?
I personally would rather get my abandonment points and move on. The bots are more of a problem than they are worth. Keep them or go back to just accepting a player disconnected?
To discourage tunnelling like before, what should be done to Decisive Strike?
DS as it is now is pretty much useless, the stun is too short and even M1 Killers can down them again in a few seconds. DS shouldn't be able to be used in endgame but it needs to be a factor.
Does Skull Merchant need a rework?
From what I gather the consensus seems to be yes - but maybe that's bias. So I figure I make a poll. Feel free to elaborate on why you picked the option you picked.
Slugging: Is it Toxic?
Curious on the forum communities perception on if slugging is toxic. DISCLAIMER: I am not talking about leaving all the survivors on the ground to bleed out, I am only talking about slugging for pressure and to slow gens down. So this poll is under the assumption that the killer is hooking survivors if they get everyone…
What if you could suggest a change to the game ?
Pick one, maybe it can help with ideas.
Should there a licensed chapter based off of Arachnophobia?
Arachnophobia, a horror comedy that is much more serious than most of the genre, that is about, you guessed it, arachnids. Specifically: spiders. The lore would definitely sound really cool in the DBD writing style. Here is an example of what I think this chapter could look like:
What would you like to have for dinner?
Which Licensed Survivor do you think needs Voice Lines?
For very sad, yet obvious reasons. Nancy and Steve aren't on the list. There simply wouldn't be any point.
Should Survivors have ingame voicelines, like Nick Cage?
If there was a main Villian (Killer) for the DBD Movie, who do you think it should be...?

If there could only be one main hero/heroine for the DBD Movie, who do you think it should be...?
Edit: 4th Poll is "JAKE", not "Jack", that's my bad... 😂

Random Poll: If more TEXAS CHAINSAW content was added to DBD, which would make most sense?
So far, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game was a fun experience, and it got me thinking of a few concepts here and there, and so that's why I made this. And considering that Leatherface is still hanging with us in the Fog, I figured, "Why not...?" Both options 1 and 2 would have unique carry animations similar to…
Do you mind when killer goes AFK or is friendly?
Hey, I thought I'd ask the DBD community in general what their views are on this. I've had little time to play DBD lately, however I want to finish the Rift to get skins (a bit of FOMO). What is your attitude towards killers who are friendly or do something and then go AFK? For my ~2000 hours in DBD I never play a killer…
What Licensed Chapter/Paragraph do you crave at the moment...? Movies and TV edition.
Poll 1: Predator Poll 2: The Walking Dead Poll 3: Five Nights At Freddy's (Technically a movie...) Poll 4: Friday The 13th Poll 5: SCREAM (I know we have Ghostface. I don't care.) Poll 6: Candyman Poll 7: IT Poll 8: Child's Play Poll 9: Red Dragon Poll 10: Whatever you suggest! Leave a comment below!
Do you think there should be a Friday the 13th chapter?
I know out of all crossovers, this is the most unlikely, but it would be amazing to see. I recently made concept image and killer lore to see how this could be done.
Do you prefer Chapters or Mid-Chapters?
Curious about people's opinions on this. For me, I generally prefer Mid-Chapters. I think they usually have more of an impact on the game as a whole, which can make it feel more fresh and exciting. Stuff like perk buffs, quality of life changes (survivor action HUD) and killer/map reworks leave me far more steeped in…
Should there be a Final Destination licensed chapter?
Final Destination is a horror franchise that includes five movies, nine novels, and two comics. The series is about Death itself hunting down people that cheated death by not being in a terrible tragedy, usually due to premonitions. Death would most likely be OP in DBD, but would be really cool to play as. I recently did a…
does anybody want the devs to make some more posts
like an occasional poll or general discussion
What is the most survivor sided map?
In your opinion, what map is the most survivor sided?
Hot take: Blight should be a 110% movement speed killer
So apart from some of his addons allowing him to do pretty gross stuff (alchemist ring, blighted crow, adrenaline vial, both iridescent addons), this killer has insane mobility while also being able to hit survivors as he's traveling with the speed of light. If the devs don't want to touch his base-kit, they should at…
Do you think All Of Us Are Dead could fit into DBD?
So I recently finished the Netflix series all of us are dead and I have to say, it was really good, but it got me thinking if a chapter for it could fit into dead by daylight. SPOILER ALERT I can see the killer being Gwi-Nam, cause he’s so cool plus he was a human turned zombie human hybrid, who else could fit the killer…
Does Made For This Need a Nerf?
Be brutally honest and explain why you think that way.
Buff idea for pig
Basically, the pig can find traps at jigsaw boxes where survivors take off their head traps. If anyone has any other ideas, say it in the comments.
Casual Gamer or Hardcore Gamer?
Do you consider yourself a casual gamer or a hardcore (competitive) gamer in dbd?
Should they add Candy Man in dbd??
I would be so excited for candy man to be in this game. the way he flies with his bees around him like in his movie was sooo cool! honestly, everyone would be playing him. I hope dead by daylight developers see this so he can hopefully get added to the game!!
Which FNAF villain do you think would be used in a licensed chapter?
With the rumors of a FNAF chapter coming soon, I thought it appropriate to ask who you think will be used as the killer, each with their own reasons as to why they would be used. The Mimic has replaced William Afton in the recent games and books, so they would be a good choice if trying to stay caught up with the current…
The most important question in human history
Has anyone even seen self Care? after 6.10 i saw self care only 1 time in meme build this is a general statistic, which means it is constantly used by millions of players How is this even possible? ok, here are the top most likely reasons why Self Care is in the top 5 survivor perks
Should BHVR remove or lessen the DC penalty since bots have been added?
Since bots have been added to replace those that no longer wish to participate in a game they might not be having any fun in, should the dc penalty remain the same? I feel it is an unfair punishment to have a stackable penalty if you are continually queue sniped/targeted/or otherwise placed with the same killer (not…
Should there be a licensed chapter of Playdead’s Limbo?
Playdead’s Limbo is an iconic piece of horror media, having won awards, while still being loved and referenced today. Even though the Nameless Boy probably wouldn’t be a great choice for a chapter’s survivor, the Spider and the world of Limbo definitely have enough potential to be part of Dead by Daylight.

Favorite chapter so far this year
who do you think is coming?
what killer do you think is coming for chap 30?
Should there be a licensed chapter of Goosebumps?
Goosebumps is an iconic franchise that introduced thousands to the horror genre via their rogues’ gallery of creatures such as Monster Blood, Haunted Mask, and most notable of all, Slappy. Because of this series’s important role in horror history, it would make sense for it to join the other legendary franchises in this…
Do you want BNPs changed again?
After the apparent nerf, who still wants them changed and who doesn't? I see them just as often as prior to the change, if not more often.
Is This Xenomorph Top Tier Awesome?
What is your first impressions of the Xenomorph?
Once ALIEN is officially released, which version of XENOMORPH do you want for a Set/Outfit?
Poll 1: Predalien Poll 2: Barakalien Poll 3: The Newborn Poll 4: Deacon Poll 5: Neomorph Poll 6: Glowing Green Xenomorph
Alien News (and probably PTB) in <10H
I'm extremely excited for this! Not sure I will be able to sleep. Are you guys hyped for the iconic xenomorph to enter The Fog after so long?
What Horror Game would you rather see come to DBD? Part 2: 90s-10s Edition
Part 2 of my "What Horror Games would you rather see come to DBD?" Poll... This is for those from the early Playstation era, and those from the old Pewdiepie / xbox 360 era when we were younger... Oh, how nostalgic will this be... Right, well here's the games. Also, check out Part 1 if you haven't already. What Horror Game…
