Hey there forum folks!

It's autumn, which means chilly fall air, carved pumpkins, and the return of our Haunted By Daylight event! In addition to bringing back Smoke Bombs and Captured Haunts, we've added some new tricks (patrolling Void Haunts) and treats (new additions to the Void Well) to keep you on your toes.

Whether this is your first time stepping into the Void Realm or you're returning to haunt again, we've put together an infographic to walk you through everything you need to know about playing this year's event.

Check it out below for all the details ⤵️

    Is the loading screen art published anywhere? Or info on the artist?

    I love this art so much. I wish there was a print. There's a flag on the DbD store but what are you supposed to do with that?

    I'm surprised they never fixed the whole thing that the event deletes your presets, I don't know if that was a thing during the anniversary event (I didn't play during that event).

    But they need to fix the game, lol.

    killers are somehow complaining, even though this is like another event for them.

    i know pallet density is ######### them over, but we are getting screwed by their consistent tunneling, slugging, s-tier overbuff killer releases and events that give survivors barely anything.

    last survivor sided event was fun until kaneki ruined it til krause came out to fix his god damn kidnap exploit.

    and before that it was 2 years ago exactly where survivor had a reason to go in and didnt get a massive penalty for trying to play the event.

    for the love of god. if you have to do the event, DONT PUNISH PEOPLE FOR GOING INTO THE VOID SO GOD DAMN MUCH.

    A terrible event; honestly, it's baffling how one-sided this garbage is designed. I see no reason for survivors to interact with the event outside of challenges, as there's no benefit. Even going into the void is throwing the game for them. Do you play-test anything you push out? The killer gets to know they're in there, in combination with weak tiles, exhaustion, and ghouls slowing them down for what? A crystal that repairs generators slowly and kicks all survivors off, or a slightly better fog vial.

    Buns as always, Void interaction skewed af. Survivors have no reason to go in, it takes longer, hindered screams, broken status (if injured) and 2 interactions to get a one time use item that takes a slot and is buggy af. Y'all don't go in. It isn't worth it.

    Having played a fair bit of Haunted by Daylight, I can safely say this event is HIDEOUSLY unbalanced. There’s barely any reason for Killers to interact with the Void except to complete challenges, which are teeth-gratingly hard due to Haunts being completely useless and Survivors being able to exit the Void with tremendous ease.

    I see lots of complaining about camping and tunneling, but realistically that’s the only way for Killers to get any Sacrifices at all.

    Because for some reason you guys love to handicap survivors more for going to the void, harder to do aswell.

    If it was 2023 effects like refill item charges, endurance and speedboost, ok, fair, but its just a bad smoke bomb you guys made basekit and then completely nerfed to the ground BEFORE fixing kanekis kidnap exploit in 2 weeks compared to 4 months.

    This also doesnt help that killers turbo tunnel while survivors are still really stupid when it comes to helping or doing the objective. (Or even doing anything productive)
