Quality of Life Wishlist
Introduction
Hi, I am new to this discussion board as I've come from the subreddit and Discord Community.
I'm not sure whether the lifetime of this discussion should be a couple of days or hours, so I will continue to update this discussion until 72 hours have elapsed.
The reason why I made this discussion is because after 1000 hours of playing on the PC version through Steam and gaming experience from other games, I feel like an update in the user settings would be beneficial to the community (including myself).
The reason I tagged this discussion with PC is because I have not played the console (PS4/XBOX/Nintendo Switch) versions of this game- I am not certain if the needs of console matches the needs of PC.

Problem
After acquiring all survivors and killers through spending Iridescent Shards and Auric Cells and unlocking all perks for survivors and killers through the Bloodweb, I find it difficult to get all the right perks and even more difficult to get all perks at level 3 for one specific character. This strongly encourages me to play optimally for Bloodpoint gain, making (WGLF) We're Gonna Live Forever and (BaC) Barbecue and Chili must-play perks. Playing games solely for the purpose of obtaining Bloodpoints to obtain desired perks is not fun. The grind can somewhat be fun for others, but for me, it is way too long. The counterargument may be to 'just enjoy the game without perks' but my when my very own purpose of playing the game is to try on a new perk or build (set of perks, preferably at level 3) the wait would be too long and exhausting. I was only able to obtain all perks including Ashley J. Williams' perks on my 3rd Prestige Claudette at the 800 hour mark. That is a long grind of using Bloody Party Streamers or Escape Cakes as offerings, including perks WGLF or BaC.
Solution
Eradicate levels for perks; acquiring perks from the Bloodweb would let the player use level 3 perk, skipping levels 1 and 2 for the perk. Maybe this might be too extremely good, so I would still be okay if this happens only when you prestige a character to Prestige 3 for this to mechanic to unlock.
loud default splash movie
problem
Every time I load the game, I tend alt + tab to another window while it is loading. I know it doesn't take long to load, but I would rather chat with friends or watch video streams while it is loading. After a while I would hear the caws of the raven, along with a starting generator. I'd have to click the game to start it to actually load, since there's also another loading event. Certain parts of Dead by Daylight forums tells me to delete the movie file, but that seems like a big hassle, since almost every update the game would freak out and tell me to validate the game, forcing me to wait minutes repairing the game files just to have that movie file restored.
Solution
Give us the option to automatically skip or hide the default movie, given how we have the option to hide tutorial pop-ups.
Bonus: discussion Forum
For some reason, using the typewriter GUI was weird. I wasn't able to see a difference in applying BOLD to my letters and using headers is a bit more weird:
H2 being the 3rd biggest
H3 being the biggest
H4 being the 2nd biggest
H5 being the smallest and thinnest
I would also like it if I can provide a table of contents so onlookers can click a section and skip to a specific part of the post.
