Early Discussion About Skull Merchant: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, And Her Identity
Greetings, friends of the Fog! I hope this thread finds you doing well. As you may know or may not know, the Skull Merchant recently surpassed Freddy and became my favorite killer in Dead By Daylight. I am having more fun with her than I did with Old Freddy, and considering how much I loved Old Freddy, that is saying…

Crows (match progression changes) are awful.
I love having some 180 ping subhuman carry around my teammate (that has gone afk to avoid the dc penalty) in order to avoid allowing them to bleed out, so that they may patrol the gens until I INEVITABLY have to complete gen progress to prevent crows from accumulating. 2 players left on 3 gens, and I am expected not to…

Yeah, I’m no longer playing killer
literally any killer match I’ve been playing recently has been nothing but miserable three gens get popped before I get one hook, I keep losing all of my games, I run Meta, non meta and every single game just ends up being a four to three man out. Unless I have an actual good reason to, I’m not playing the killer role…

Head On Suggestion - QOL.
The person carrying the perk Head On - the locker will now be highlighted in Yellow for all survivors. I think this would be really cool because you can get more stuns on the killer to help out other survivors in chase. You have no way to communicate this in SOLOQ, so this would fix that. :)
-
Scavenger doesn't feel right.
I think the 50% repair penalty should be reduced to 30% OR the 30 seconds bumped down to 20? One or the other. The penalties for using this perk comes at a high price.

p100 rewards
From recent reddit QnA we know what kind of p100 rewards we will have in future, but! What if make it a bit more interesting? In game we have killers who can change your appearence by leaving some kind of substence on u, so… P100 reward should give u new type of cosmetic "effects" or "paint" that would work like Nemesis…

I still wish we could revert this.
I don’t know why it got switched. https://youtu.be/bahwHUnrJV0?si=kPnCycx04w9_ZQaR

New killer: Horace Pinker from Shocker
He could body hop survivors and sow a nice bit of chaos amongst survivors before manifesting and going in for the kill. Other killer suggestions would be The Corinthian from Sandman, Beta or Negan from Walking Dead, Alex Mercer from Prototype (a James Heller legendary skin aswell, naturally), maybe Pelonquin from…
-
Ozzy Cosmetic(s)
Title says it all. With his passing, I feel it's only right that the prince of darkness has his place in the fog. Whether it's simply shirts for survivors like the Iron Maiden ones, or giving him his own legendary skin (Jeff would obviously be most fitting to get it) his legacy deserves to be in dead by daylight.
-
QOL improvements I would like for Springtrap
these are just suggestions that I think would make the animatronic a lot smoother to play while also trying to make him fair on both sides (keyword being try) reduce the time it takes to retrieve the axe from the environment to 5 seconds (was 7) Increase the grab range to 4 meters (was 3) Increase grab detection to 48°…

Do you guys think you could do an event like this?
Map or maps where parts of the layout change during a match. Lore wise, you could say it's places in the fog where The Entity's control is weakest so everyone's thoughts keep influencing the map. Then there's a sound to let you know the shift is about to happen. They would have to program a 'deadzone' around the players,…

skull merchant doesnt need a rework
this is exactly what it says. she doesn't need a rework. she needs her current kit buffed back into viability. the fans of her (me included) aren't playing her because she's strong or effective. we are playing her because we enjoy her playstyle and her power. a rework now after this long of us playing her like this is just…

stranger things lobby theme
can u guys please make nancy and steves lobby music the same as demogorgons cus its so good and id love to hear it more as a survivor since i mostly play survivor and mostly play jonathan and nancy

The THING is?
The thing would be pretty cool as a killer if we could get the licensing hear me out they could have an ability that allows them to mimic one of the players and could hide in vents around the map go vent to vent, you could also try going for an among us imposter skin and give survivors could get one skin as the crewmate…

Event Ideas: Classics
I had a thought (shut up) about a potential idea for an event. Something akin to a return to classic DbD. Obviously not literally,but basically a limited mode where the only available killers and survivors are from the original line-up. Either the original PC version line-up or up through what was available when the game…
-
Map Offerings
There wasn't an issue with map offerings and yet there was a change to it. I'm trying to play scratched mirror Myers and i've used around 7 offerings with no survivors trying to change the map and it's to no avail. Please stop sucking the fun out of the game by making unnecessary changes and revert the map offerings back…

The pros and cons of seeing other survivors perks in the lobby
I have mixed feelings about the possibility of seeing other people's perks in the loading lobby. On the one hand, I'm always looking for ways to be a better teammate. And knowing what other play styles other people are going to be using would help me to better understand them in the match. It would also give me a better…

[SUGGESTION] Rift UI Changes
I like the new UI with the Rift and he new Quest system but I do have one minor grievance. The Quest/Rift rewards block the page arrow for the Rift. If I want to change the page, I have to sit on this page and press the right arrow repeatedly. If you could add a tiny X instead of the arrow so we can just skip the animation…

Would a permanent 1v1 gamemode be accepted by the community?
Face front it seems like it wouldn't change anything, if you don't like it you could just not play it, but then again, the queues are already pretty bad, a permanent gamemode could compromise it even more, so what would the majority think about this?

DBD official stats page suggestion
I don't know if BHVR would be willing to share this data for one reason or another but I would LOVE to know my escape and kill rates on certain maps. That would be very illuminating for me to know what my best maps are and my worst maps.
-
Chapter Idea
Not sure if this'll go anywhere but I thought of an idea for an original chapter and I couldn't not submit it somewhere. There is one survivor and one killer. The survivor is a cultist (similar to Taurie), and the perks are all based around the worshipping of the entity. The killer is another cultist who, after seeing the…

Suggestion for a original chapter i thought of for a while
Alright first off please be respectful even if you hate it (i just know you will). So my thinking was how could we implement and represent more niche themes and niche fandoms into dbd so i came up with a chapter that has a strong fantasy/darkfantasy and also anthromorph character theme because since we got furry skins for…

Existing maps need to be smaller
About 70% of the maps are big or down right huge, making them quite a hassle traverse for both sides. Making the maps smaller would over all be a healthier as it encourages interactions with The Killer and Survivors

It's TIME for 5 Perk Builds!
Welcome my build enthusiasts! As you may know, many people, maybe including yourself have fallen in love with this game and their ability to create their own perk builds to have fun with, which is absolutely great! As DBD has grown, new perk ideas have been added and some of the perks have become increasingly niche, which…

Dracula doesn't need a full addon pass, but his two iris and at least one purple needs serious work.
I think that Dracula has to have one of the worst set of two iri addons in the entire game (after PH gets his addons reworked). The good thing is that he doesnt need a "Pyramid Head level" addon pass, as most of them are pretty decent, but his two iridescent addons (Alucard Shield and Vlad's Ring) are absolutely terrible.…
-
Servers
Please do something with the servers (I live in Blagoveshchensk, across the river from China), it's impossible to play DBD as a maniac against Chinese survivors. Please, if possible, configure the servers so that it's at least possible to play.

Perk buff ideas (very, very long)
If I would be dev and in charge of buffing perks, that would be the result. I tried to change the perks in a way that I would want to start using them. Killer Alien instinct All other survivors become oblivious for 30 seconds after hooking someone. (New) Batteries included The haste you get is based on how much progress…

Would making tenacity and deerstalker basekit be balanced? (when downed by the killer)
I was thinking of it as a way to nerf extreme slugging but at the same time keep the killers ability to slug for pressure still possible, you could even make the time to fully recover a bit longer when downed BY the KILLER (so plot twist doesnt get nerfed unnecessarily). Idk, would it be balanced or maybe too busted on the…

Can you fix the Wesker bug?
There is an issue where when Wesker grabs me as survivor, the camera starts wobbling. I can't run straight (holding up) after being grabbed with Wesker's power. It happened to me a lot of times. I am sure it happens to other players as well. Just wondering if this Is a known bug to behaviour. If so, when will it get fixed?…

Lower the speed of The Animatronic to 4M/S or 3.8M/S
Respectfully, a 40 year old, broken down, 7 feet tall Animatronic made of medal shouldn't be able to walk the same speed as The Huntress, a killer 2x smaller.

New license killer in Survivor

Let me abandon when the killer is slugging for the 4k.
PLEASE. I still don't know why this isn't a scenario. I just had a match I bled out on the floor because Vecna really wanted the 4k and Ada was hiding the whole time. Add something to make the survivor on the floor bleed out faster or just add the abandon option. It's so annoying and just want to go next instead of waiting…

A way to get the Legacy Character Portrait on characters who previously did not have it?
What I'm talking about is the red markings on character portraits here: I think it would be nice if there could be a way to get this portrait on characters that previously did not have it, and my idea for it is that it would involve getting said character to P100. Once you get them to P100, you unlock an option in the…

Thank you Bvhr
I found out the awesome news that this issue is being looked at! I look forward to happier Sadako, Alien, Plague, and future Springtrap mains!

Balance killers with perk tiers
Haywire, perk nerfed to its unusable state because of one killer. Singularity Situational Awerness, Perk nerfed because of 1 killer, Nurse Undone, perk intentionaly bad because of 1 killer, Doctor I think there would be more examples of that, like gen kick meta nerfed cuz of knight or manga nerd. Why dont we use perk tiers…

On the audio rebalance
Recently in the QnA, the devs said that in a recent update they normalised Survivor sound levels. Now, I personally haven't noticed much, so I decided to test it. I loaded in against bots, and tested their injured grunts and scream sounds. This video (https://youtu.be/3Vib9EThQg8) is my results (I don't own all Characters,…

Hindered Rework for The Clown & The Nightmare
I would like to see The Clown’s & The Nightmare’s Hindered Statuses reworked so their duration aren’t impacted by Vigil. Vigil’s Impact As it currently stands, Vigil reduces The Clown’s Linger from 2 seconds to 1.2 seconds (1 second to 0.6 seconds in the PTB). Vigil also reduces The Nightmare’s Hindered from 4.2 seconds to…

Ranks should have meaning and incentives for skill would be nice.
In the current state of the game ranks honestly just feel like an indicator of playtime at best. I’m not sure what the need for the change was but back then ranks felt like a mostly sure way to have an idea of how good someone was , when you thought of red ranked players you thought about actually skilled killers and…

New anti tunnel mechanic idea
When a survivor is unhooked, they receive two conditional effects: Entity’s Protection (30 seconds): A Decisive Strike-like effect activates. If the survivor is downed by the killer during this 30-second window, the effect is retained until one of the following happens: The survivor uses the stun against the killer…

Possible minor fix for some tunnelling issues?
Hear me out, what if you add a feature so that when someone is downed and on your shoulder — and only under those circumstances — you can see their hook state? I don't know if this is an AWFUL idea, but from the way I see it this could solve a small chunk of tunnelling at the very least. I am a killer main. I've been…

Killer idea
Wouldn't it be cool if "Shy Guy" was a killer?!!! I cant remember what scp he is, but it think it would be a really cool one. Or even the witch from left4dead. Some killer that has a crying sound until it is chasing someone then it screams instead. It would be really creepy. I just don't know what their "power" would be.…

Perks that apply the broken status effect.
Am i the only one that wants new KILLER perks that apply the broken satus effect? Especially since healing seems so fast nowdays, and to be fair we really only have like 3 of those. No quarter (trash) - needs a buff so it activates on normal heals too, not just self heals. Forced penance (ok) (very situational) terminus…

Tunneling Solutions: An uncomfortable possible reality.
So long story short, tunneling is probably the biggest problem for continued larger enjoyability of this game. its one of the most suggested problems and without a doubt sucks to be tunneled out. yada yada old man yells at cloud. And while I'm sure we could discuss tunneling yet again on these forums, that isn't the topic…

Current Healing Buffs Have Felt Like CoH Meta Since Springtrap.
Is it just me or does the healing feel a tad overtuned? It really feels like you HAVE to bring anti heal perks or be an anti-Heal Killer to do anything about it. Hit and Run is effectively dead right now. I thought we were all for making more Killer playstyles viable not less. Certainly something feels overtuned. I can't…

Quality of Life update for Overcome
Overcome is a good exhaustion perk, you get injured and get a bigger speed boost to reach someplace you maybe wouldn't have reached if you didn't have Overcome. But it only works from healthy to injured. I think it would be a good quality of life change if Overcome also worked when being put into deep wound from injured.…
