tunneling and slugging reduction system
Please don't remove the current anti-tunneling system. We survivors suffer a lot from killer tunneling and slugging. Currently, there are many toxic players who tunnel those who have just gotten off the hook (I can speak for myself; every day I play, I get tunneled). I've been avoiding playing Dead by Daylight because of…

100% against the new anti tunnel update
I face SWFS everytime I play killer and they already sweat and play the game extremely well. There's plenty of perks and setups to stop a killer from tunneling. If the killer is camping the hook they don't even need half those perks, they can pop gens and trade 1 for 1 making it an easy win for Survivors. Reassurance,…

Please Tell me the changes for all the barren maps are still going live

Wear & Tear. New texture overlay on survivors.
With the new killer, the infection looks weird with no rips in the clothes, no bruises, not even blood on the penetration points. There should be at least 3 new texture overlays and tags for the cosmetics a survivor is wearing. First tags, Torso cosmetics need to be marked whether or not their shirtless. Then we get to the…

Remove legion from 2v8
It's miserable. Every survivor hates it. Add Doctor. Never add Plague. Unknown would be fine. Even Trickster would be fine. Clown without speed buff would be fine. I hate the houndmaster but, if she was optimized it might be fine. The rest probably wouldn't work just based on technical stuff. Even Good Guy power is…

Why did you change things to make Sadako's Condemned kills cause gen block penalty?
When you initially released the patch notes, they looked like this: In bold you emphasized that the hook action directly caused them to die. This made many of us who are Sadako players happy because it takes so much effort to Condemn someone that if you've got them locked in at 6 stacks and they run to a TV and happen to…

Can Ghostface be the next killer to be reworked, please?
I like what they've done with Michael Myers and Pyramid Head by buffing their powers and accessories while retaining their signature flair. Therefore, I'd like to see Ghostface be the next to be buffed, considering his power is easy to cancel and most of his accessories don't provide any useful benefits. Plus, with the…

Major gameplay changes but the PTB system fails everyone
Console players still can’t access the PTBs, and it’s a bigger issue than ever with these vital gameplay changes. So much feedback gets missed since console players are a big part of the community. One Reddit user had a great idea (shoutout u/AgentDigits): "I feel like they need to find a way to create some kind of in-game…

Cheater advertising
I keep facing multiple blatant cheaters who are advertising their cheats in their name. Reports are in, but can BHVR please deal with this? Sad state of the game that it is so easy to cheat that you can advertise the software IN GAME. One such cheater was a pinhead speed-phasing through walls across the map to insta-down…

On the PTB (Part 2)
Four digit hourcount giga-sweat back again with another patchnotes unboxing. Now that i've gotten a chance to play on the patchnotes instead of doomsaying before the release, i must admit that most of my fears appear to be validated. Running straight at the killer after being unhooked to go annoy them is a perfectly viable…

Anti-Tunnel suggestion
I think it's pretty clear most people are rather unhappy with the state of the anti-tunnel system being very hard against killers when they play fairly normally. I'd like to offer a suggestion to keep most of the anti-tunnel system but add another condition to help mitigate the issue. At the moment, the killer penalties…

Rework Fast Track into an instrument perk like Bardic Inspiration and the new one
Hear me out, we already have guitar and percussions, so we need a keyboard and singer to (one day) have a full band. And I was thinking what better survivor to give a keyboard perk to than Yun-Jin Lee, the original music survivor? You guys can't possibly tell me that wouldn't be sick, especially since Fast Track is an…

We need OG myers in Custom games (as a setting)

Brenden Frasier's 1999 The Mummy Chapter Idea!

The Twins Might Need Adjustments Due to The Anti-Slug Mechanic
The Twins by design unfortunately have slugging as a core part of their power, whether they want to or not. When a survivor gets downed with Victor Charlotte has to wake up, and walk to where Victor downed someone and pick them up. However, the new built-in recovery while crawling and increased crawling speed overtime are…

Items' variants and addons
I would like to talk about items and their rarities, mainly about fog vials, keys and maps, and their add-ons. I dislike how different variants of an item are the same but have higher stats the rarer the item is. Same with add-ons, every add-on (excluding iri addons) literally does nothing but increase the stats. What I'm…

Krasue "Eyes" skin
It would be really nice to get a skin, or at least a head, that looks similar to the one in Eyes: The Horror Game. It may not be the most popular game around, but it's in my opinion very iconic. And besides, I prefer the less gory head in Eyes than the DbD Krasue.

Please dont kill this character by giving him a dash just because of gameplay.

He's an absolute menace don't get me wrong but when you hear…

Just add killer bots already and be done with it
This is basically the direction we're going anyways. The devs have made it clear with this PTB that the surv experience is the most important and that killers are only there as props. So just go whole hog and take it to the natural conclusion and make the game PVE.

On BHVR's Design Philosophy and the PTB Changes
Hey, four digit hourcount giga-sweat here.

I've noticed many people seem to be giving these changes a ton of hate without giving…

PTB 9.2 Feedback
The anti-tunnel changes cannot go to live, it will ruin the game. For anti-tunnel changes, the killing before 6 hook stages should be lowered to 4 so it actually targets those that are tunneling. As for the penalty that stop gens from being regressed or blocked, it needs removed entirely as it is far too abusable and does…

Making the Unknown Unknowable
When I was gifted All Things Wicked, I thought I was getting a Survivor that was my style, and a Killer that was spooky.

I would like to brainstorm some relatively simple ways that some of the feel of…

My thoughts on the new ptb and new killer
there are a few things i would personally chance but lets start with Myers he is awesome i love the way he is so much fun but i need to say making us have to pay 5k bloodpoints on tuft of hair to go to the old version kind of sucks i would have moved it down to more like a blue or green so we don't have to spend as much to…

The "death before 6 hooks" penalty wasn't thought through
"If a Survivor dies before 6 total hook states, all remaining Survivors gain a repair speed bonus for the rest of the Trial." Did you guys forget you made a bunch of killers, like Sadako, Pig and Pyramid Head, that have alternate Mori conditions? I main Sadako, it happens fairly frequently that some survivors don't…

Krasue's head model should have some physics to it
Let the organs have the physics of floating rope (ghostface ribbons I guess? Hard to explain) and make them a little heavy. It'll let the organs trail behind her head a little and could look more interesting than just having the organs directly beneath the head like a statue. Similar to how the game Eyes did it. Edit: Just…

New mechanics
Hello everyone. Just wanted to check back in to beat my drum again. Been a while. Been checking out the event modes. I like the diversity. These are fun distractions from the major issue that I have.

Basic preliminary PTB change ideas
After playing the pth last night here are some thoughts The anti tunnel should deactivate after healing fully or 20 seconds on a generator. And 30 seconds is too long The anti slug should reset each time a survivor is downed and there shouldn't be basekit tenacity If they are nerfing gen perks then the kick limit should be…

ゲームバランスを考えて
9.2.0PTBプレイしましたが、生存者よりの調整すぎませんか？ 新キラーも買おうと思えないほどパッとしません。 吊ったフックが見えない、妥協します。 這いずり放置は90秒後におきあがるのも妥協します。 全体で6回吊る前に一人減ったら発電速度が上がるのは可笑しいと思います。 一度吊られた生存者が肉壁しに来ても攻撃してはいけないのですか？ ゲームの主旨が崩壊してませんか？ 目の前に生存者が来れば殺人鬼は攻撃します。 そして倒れた生存者を殺人鬼はフックに吊るします。 生存者をシステムで守りすぎてはゲームとして成り立ちません。 生存者のフラストレーション対策らしいですが、殺人鬼のフラストレーションは無視ですか？…

2v8 Trapper needs polishing
My suggestions: First one that I feel is a must: Honing Stone basekit, survivors are extremely available to rescue already. Second one is either: Spawn with all traps (trap spread is incredibly random and maps are big, on top of that basement doesnt exist, so basically it would be a nice timesave) OR traps should reset…

Anti-Tunnel Alternative
I’ve had a chance to test the anti-tunnel changes, and honestly, it’s not looking good. As expected, survivors are already exploiting the system. After being unhooked, they’ll freely work on gens right in front of the killer, knowing there’s little you can do about it. Because of how easily this system can be abused, I…

The Elegant Solution to Tunneling
Welcome to Dead By Daylight. A game so perfectly designed at its core that it became the sole survivor in its own Genre of Asymmetrical Horror games.

Tutorials need updating
With the possible anti tunnel and slug changes I think the tutorials for both sides could use some updating.

While the game manual may fill in…

Sinister Grace is a Huge Win
I LOVE the new chapter. The survivor is actually appealing the way a "Final Girl" should be, the killer is actually horror-related and is an amazing homage to less "traditional" (e.g. werewolves vampires etc.) folklore, the killer's gameplay is super interesting, the survivor has cool perks (especially the one two three go…

I haven't seen anyone come across this but anti tunneling and 4 survivors dressed the same.
Is there a way the killer can tell who they hooked if this happens? I have had bully squads do this to me and now I might run into issues if " tunneling the same person" if I have no way to figure out who is who and now I can't leave them on the ground. I'm just worried that anti slugging and tunneling can be manipulated…

Tunneling is a Math Problem - Is the Problem Solved?
When you tunnel a survivor out, it effectively applies a “hidden debuff” to the survivor team: all healing and repair is reduced by about 25% for the rest of the trial. That’s why tunneling has always been so strong; it’s unmatched value, roughly equal to giving the killer two or three extra perk slots. The big question is…

Heya Devs!! Coming here on a positive note!!
I got a lot to talk about, but I'm going to focus on one thing. I have a suggestion for the anti-tunnel!!

Think a REALLY long endurance to being killed. Because if…

A 2nd PTB with tweaked versions of the changes is necessary before this patch goes live
I think it's already become very clear to everyone that 9.2.0 needs a lot changes before it goes live, and because the new mechanics and balance changes in 9.2.0 are so large, it would be very risky and likely lead to poor balance if they push 9.2.0 to live without testing the tweaks they are obviously going to make to it.…

The dead zone changes NEED to be reverted for several of the maps listed (though some can stay)
Some maps like Haddonfield absolutely needed to fill in their dead zones. But Ormond?? Goddamn CROTUS PENN ASYLUM??? This has got to be a joke.

Add specific number values to killer powers/items/addons.
