myer's dash is too easy, similar to hillbilly, just total lack of skill requirement and unsatisfying
makes the game feel kind of cheesy honestly. you compare it to chucky where there's a ton of counterplay, tons of hit or misses. honestly chucky's dash, as weak as it sometimes can be, is extremely satisfying to use. but myer's dash feels like it was made by a modder who lacked the time and resources to actually do it the…

Next PTB Problems
So next PTB every time you are unhooked, you will see the killer within 32m through undetectable for 10 seconds, ontop of 10% Haste, Elusive and Endurance for the 30 Seconds. That's across 8 hooks 80 Seconds, 1.33 Mins of Aura Reading every match. Healing Underhook cant be punished anymore cause you can just 99 the heal…

How Long Does a Map Stay "Boosted"?
For clarification, when a map is "boosted", it means the odds of loading into that map are higher than all of the other maps when considering no other offerings being used. Onto the discussion point. Genuinely curious about this one since we have already seen the case about maps being boosted before (i.e. RPD, Dead Dawg…

If BHVR only nerfs Killer Addons based on userate and winrate, why do awful addons still exist?
As the title says. BHVR has basically confirmed that they nerf Killer addons almost exclusively by looking at how popular those addons are (what % of matches use them) and if the Kill Rate increases while using those addons. Unknown has been a victim of this, with basically every good addon being gutted over and over. So…

So, they don't want to rework Skull Merchant
because they want to preserve her gameplay style for the people who enjoy it, but they reworked Myers? What about the people who enjoyed his old style? Why not just rework Skull Merchant and leave a couple of add-ons that retain her current style? It makes no sense Having said that, revert Myers and make his "rework" an…

Unplayable hit registration.
The game has gotten almost unplayable lately because of how bad the hit registration and latency are around vaults and pallets. Every single vault or pallet drop feels like a death sentence now, it doesn’t matter if I vault cleanly or drop a pallet with tons of distance, the killer can still hit me way after their swing…

They must BRING BACK MMR
I’ve been playing for 2 years too long to keep being paired with new players, and players I’m sure are bots, and I know I’m not the only one frustrated with it. Bring back the emblem system if I grind out the game until gold ranks I wanna be with people who put as much time and effort and energy and skill into the game as…

Footstep radius of killers
At which distance are the footsteps of the killers audible for survivors? I read somewhere 8 meters, but at the same time there are killers with very loud footsteps (Dredge) and some are quiet (Myers). Is there somewhere a list how loud the killers are and at which distance you can hear them?

Why are so many people uninstalling DBD?
It seems like a lot of people are lately. EDIT: I heard a lot of people are going to Outlast Trials because of the new invader mode, but no one here mentioned it.

Keep getting disconnected from host?
I've verified game files, reinstalls, plugged into ethernet cable, and done full router resets on top of pc resets and I will disconnect from host in the middle of the match with no explanation, middle of an action. I play in Australia in the wee hours of the night because that's all I can manage with my job and I have to…

Does BBQ show survivor auras that are in the void?
I ask because I'm pretty sure I just had a subtle Springtrap cheater. I decided to test Plot Twist in the void (in a really unobvious spot) and he came straight to me. Same again outside of the void - Plot Twist nowhere near anything but nobody got hooked. No Deerstalker (besides doesn't work that way now) the rest of his…

Semi-Lightborn Suggestion
So in the next PTB there are going to be tests to combat the frustrations of survivor and I am aware killers have their own issues, sometimes in the form of 'bully squads' that all have flashlights etc. Now I know the simple solution is to equip Lightborn but I think some of the playerbase probably isn't happy to use up a…

Who thinks the map Autohaven needs a brightness increase?
Because according to some devs and members of the community, it's too dark.. I disagree, my reason being is that Dead by Daylight (DBD) is an asymmetrical survival HORROR game which means the map has to be dark to some degree. Now true we don't want it ridiculously dark for this is not a single player horror game. But I…

Concept Proposal: Balanced System to Address Tunneling & Slugging Without Hurting Killers
Hello DBD developers and community members, I’ve been following the PTB discussions and community feedback on tunneling and slugging, and I wanted to share a comprehensive proposal that addresses these issues while keeping Killers’ agency intact. The goal is to realign incentives rather than punish players: giving…

Rapid Bubba M1 attack, what is this?
I recently played a game against a Bubba who was able to do very quick M1 swipes, and at one point seems to do 5 hits in rapid succession. I don't play Bubba, so I'm curious if anyone knows if this is an ability or add-on of his. Does it have to do with the Tantrum special power feature? Here's a video link showing what…

Stop balancing! isnt work
I think I speak for many others when I say that DBD is currently unbalanced. When the tunneling update goes live, some killers will definitely leave suddenly, and survivor queue times will increase. Question: When is the game "survived" and when is it "killer-sited?" Answer: Good groups of 4 = game is "survived" Solo…

A huge THANK YOU for your feedback!

Getting a stun with Last Stand doesn't award points, neither does saving with it.
Hey, as the title says Last Stand, Michonnes perk doesn't award any points like Head On or blast mine for its stuns, is this intentional? it's hard enough to get value from this perk as it is, it'd be nice if it rewarded you for it. Much like this perk: One-Two-Three-Four I think doesn't and neither does Bardic Inspiration…

Survivor Tier List: Who's Really Good at DBD?
The negativity I've been reading on this forum these past few weeks is truly suffocating. So I wanted to bring some fun with a completely useless tier list, based solely on my gaming experience. Who's the best and most reliable survivor? It's a "joking" tier list, but (in my case) very true! I specify: "you can trust them"…

Should perks exit which give a Killer strong effect if they play fair?
Hello everyone, most of the time the argument of tunneling or slugging are coming up the main argument of Killers is that its not worth to spread hooks and its more efficient to go for the early 3v1. Would it be better if perks exist that give the Killer a strong effect if each Survivor gets hooked once? (Exactly once not…

No Lithe changes huh?
Remeber when the devs used to make changes to oversaturated perks? Lithe has been in 99.9% of my games as killer and it is just so freaking annoying man. It needs a subtle change at least bc half the killer roster loses a chase due to Lithe.

The reason about why killer tunnel or slug
This topic is to let some player who didn't play killer before know the reason about that. It is because all the other playing style DEAD. As a killer, you need to have a plan before you even go in to a match, and make a perk aid-on build around it. In the game you wont have time to re-think about what you should do about…

The Hag Rebalance Proposal
I've been playing the hag a bit recently, as well as facing a few hags as survivor, and i feel the killer is really pidgeonholded into going for trigens and camping still, while not having enough general utility to hold it's own on more varied playstiles. For this, i've brainstormed a few simple changes, many that have…

Hey BHVR, Wanna Address the Rampant Hacking?
I've been playing haste Clown lately with lethal to immediately start chases from the jump.

Man people really love tunneling and slugging
Not even the event is safe from it. Like holy hell your not in a championship match a 3k is fine you still win but no everyone just slugs and tunnels.

End-game tally screen should show what map you played on

I’d Trade All My Bloodpoints for One More Moonlight Offering
I miss when we had the Moonlight offerings. They were simple, but they gave every match a different mood. Full Moon trials had this eerie brightness to them, and the darker ones made stealth feel way more real. It’s one of those small features you don’t realize you appreciate until it’s gone. The game still plays fine…

My Suggestion for Anti-Tunnel and Anti-Slug Systems
Hello! So, I have ideas for anti-tunnel snd slug that won't be as punishing to killers while also being helpful to survivors. Please hear me out before coming at me, if you disagree please leave your ideas in the comments below! Anti-Tunneling: The best incentive for Unique Hooks would be extra bloodpoints. I think if you…

Giving Out Auric Cells could help out with the grind.
I saw a vid recently talking about ways to improve DBD and one of the points was that we should be able to grind out Auric Cells in which i agree on this. Im not saying we should be getting like 10 billion auric cells so we can buy whatever we want, but giving us like 50 auric cells if we complete a set of quests could…

Bring back tunnel
Ever since you did tunnel the killers just camp. Can we try and do something about this maybe before it kills the game more than it already is? We at least have perks to stop tunnel but the camp is real.
-
I enjoy most of the new anti-tunnel and anti-slug changes except the lack of regression incentive.
I think the changes look great. It's meant to encourage going for other survivors rather than completely eliminate tunneling as a strategy. The only thing I disagree with is the removal of the basekit kick buff for killer when you get unique hooks. Everything else looks good and fair. The changes maintain tunneling and…

Alive by Daylight
I am at a loss for words right now. I used to LOVE playing killer but now its not even gonna be in my rotation with the bs that survivors are getting. At this rate they just need to change the games name to Alive by Daylight since survivor escape rates are about to hit an insane level soon.

New Store Section
I would like everyone to hear my idea that can improve dbd's gameplay. We need a new section in the store that will sell "item kits" or at least bundle of addons for a specific item/s.
