Why I think the game needs to be balanced
Recently people are complaining about the quality of life changes. I personally think it's fine when it comes to pallets. I play both killer and survivor have some grasp of the game so far. Recently I've been wondering how exactly unbalanced is the game. I've been conducting an experiment for sometime now. And have…

Hackers and reports
Submitted a ticket with evidence of a hacker yet I still see them playing. I reported them in game and submitted a ticket but they're still able to play. I've reported hackers in the past and they were banned like 5 minutes later so what changed to now it seems like hackers get off free. I played dbd from 2018 to 2020 I…

The Tunneling Solution Thoughts (Updated before the November PTB)
So, the time finally came. We got the anti-tunneling changes. And imo, they are a bit too heavyhanded. Here are they in full, with highlights on what seems excessive. Hiding hook states will not fool anyone who cares. People can count. Seeing the killers aura and being immune to instinct is really not necessary. There are…

How do I get better at the game as a survivor?
I know the short answer here is "just get good" but I'm serious here. I'm not necessarily a baby, I've been playing for a little over a year now, but I used to only play it with my friends and, well, they don't want to play it with me very often anymore. The problem is now I think I'm screwed? I can't loop for crap, I…

Dredge Gets Stuck in Locker on Coldwind Farm
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When teleporting to a specific locker in Fractured Cowshed, The Dredge gets stuck in a locker where they have to wait until the power recharges. I tested it throughout the game and even after the lock was broken I still had the issue. I clipped it during a stream in the video below. First attempt…

Playing killer sucks rn
Yea im getting 3-4ks most matches but im not enjoying it, and that’s because of the matchmaker and the general lack of balance. The most fun i have on killer is late night games on the stronger killers when the legit swfs come out. Even when I get a 1k-2k i’d prefer these games. But if i want to play something like Pig or…

Survivor vs Killer Experience
An in-depth look at each role and how each role is treated in the current environment the game has. I PREFER playing Killer (75-25 Split currently by stats) but it can be draining to play, i don't main any high tiers, and even when i was playing only a couple matches a day, i would still end up seeing Toxicity on most…

Current status of dbd = dog poop
Dear devs, I'd like you to play your own creation as a solo que survivor and please let me know what your thoughts are. Goodluck. Y'all be handing killers free candy left and right. This is coming from a 3k hours survivor main. It is practically unplayable. Almost every killer has been buffed to a point where it has become…

The survivor deleted the game because they didn't want to be killed by the killer.
It is wrong for a killer to kill survivors. If you are going to kill, please do it in an interesting way that the survivors can enjoy. A match where survivors cannot enjoy themselves is unnecessary.

Streamer Scott Jund's cat, Buddy, needs some help from the community
If anyone is unaware, streamer Scott Jund made a video about his cat, Buddy, who suddenly and rapidly became severely ill and has been hospitalized for days. Many of us are pet lovers and owners, and when my own cat died, this community was really sympathetic and supportive to me. If anyone would like to offer support…

Custom Match improvements.
Could we get voice chat in custom matches? I get why its not in normal games, since there is a large toxicity problem, but custom matches are always meant to be between friends… right? It would make playing with other people from far away a lot easier.

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

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?

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.

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

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…

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…
