What is BHVR's stance on data mining / viewing .pak files for DBD?
Obviously this question is primarily aimed at any BHVR employee/CM/moderator who may be viewing this, but if anyone happens to have some insight, it's welcome. What is BHVR's stance on decompiling/viewing DbD's .pak files, as well as discussing the contents within? Some studios don't like it, and ban for it, while others…

All Platforms - Wesker's Virulent Bound Does Not Grant Brutality Points for Successful Hits
Fairly simple bug; does not have any sort of prerequisites or dependencies, it is 100% reproducible. Landing successful hits with Wesker's Virulent Bound & injuring or downing a Survivor does not grant the expected 300 Bloodpoint Brutality score event, "Hit".

All Platforms - Unrelenting Perk Does Not Affect Cooldown When a Basic Attack Hits the Environment
Steps to Reproduce: Go to a Killer Loadout & equip the Perk: Unrelenting Load into a match (public or private) Go directly up to any object in the environment & hit it with a Basic Attack This results in a 1.5 second cooldown, which is the default cooldown duration. Additionally, performing a Basic Attack & not hitting…

BUG - Bloodpoint Incentive Bonus only applying to the party leader in a "Survive With Friends" lobby
To recreate - as survivor, join another survivor's "Survive With Friends" lobby, and play out a full match. Comparing the bloodpoint gains between yourself and your fellow Survivor at the end of the match will show that the 100% queue incentive bloodpoint bonus only applied to the party leader. (pls fix ASAP so I can play…

It's Time for Flashlights to get the Toolbox Treatment
prelude In the 3.6.0 update, just about 2 entire years ago now, toolboxes were changed from giving moderate gen speed boosts over a long period of time (the commodious toolbox, for example, gave you a +15% speed boost and lasted 180 charges) to giving large gen speed boosts in a small quick burst (the commodious toolbox…

@Devs Now That We Have a Global Player Level, Maybe Integrate That Into Your Matchmaking?
Since 2.0.0, the players probably have a good representation of playtime via their Player Level, so why not integrate it into matchmaking to pair people of similar experience together, instead of only rank?

The Console/Controller Problems
Greetings people of the fog! I bring to you today the issues for console & controller that, amidst the balance issues and dedicated servers, has been swept under the rug. There are two parts to this. First, there are problems with specifically playing on console (Talking XBONE and PS4), and second, there are problems with…

So, what in entity's name does "Updated VFX for Trapper, Wraith and Hillbilly." mean???
It's all in the title. There seems to be absolutely no changes on any of these 3 killers, aside from wraith's dissolve effect, but that's part of a different change. What's up with this?

Can someone post Leatherface's new add-ons?
Console player here, and I'm interested to see what he's got.

Deathslinger on Console
Hoo boy. If you thought Huntress or Nurse was hard on console, just TRY playing Deathslinger. Since DBD doesn't have separate x-axis or y-axis sensitivity settings, or controller deadzone settings, or even seperate sensitivity settings for ADS, playing this Killer is the hardest thing in the universe. It's possible, sure,…

Xbox Dedicated Servers
Devs. Please. You turned the dedicated servers on for like one day, then turned them immediately off because of "high ping matches", which I have yet to hear about. When is Xbox officially getting servers?

YOUR Biggest Issue With DBD Right Now
For a couple of months now, I've seen a lot of different viewpoints on the biggest issue in Dead By Daylight right now. What I want to know is, in YOUR opinion, the biggest issue in the game, and how might you solve it? I imagine it'd be interesting to see how many times different problems come up, but more so interesting…

It's been two years...
Two years. Two years since the entity speak things from the first year anniversary. I've seen no one come even close to finding a clue. The Hawkins easter eggs got solved in a fraction of that time. Is it solvable? Is there a key that can be pieced together at all?

The Killer Pass List
Killers that have received add-on passes or reworks: ✓ Hag ✓ Trapper ✓ Wraith ✓ Freddy ✓ Nurse ✓ Doctor Killers that definitely will be receiving add-on passes or reworks: ✓ Hillbilly ✓ Myers ✓ Huntress ✓ Leatherface ✓ Pig Killers that have not received nor are confirmed or unconfirmed for an add-on pass or rework: ✓ Clown…

Why "Gen Times" Aren't the Problem
This is going to be my attempt at helping people understand objective mechanics, and why saying "gen speeds" is actually a bad way to think about it. As is evident in many, many posts on the forums and reddit and youtube videos and so on an so forth, people are constantly talking about gen speed. Things like "gen speed is…

Noobies Getting Shafted by Matchmaking
About a week ago, I was playing a normal Killer match as Freddy, and I notice one of the Survivors in my match is just not that good. This Feng Min, she's running into open, empty spots, not even trying to loop. I down her and hook her, and continue the match. I go on, kill 2 more Survivors with 4 gens still up, slug the…

Some Charge Math!
Part 3 in my series of Charge Math Posts! Hate the End Game? Want to open Gates fast? No problem! As long as you have a friend! Gates at base take 20 seconds to open! That's 20 charges, with a base contribution of 1 charge per second! Mathwise, it looks like this: 20 / 1.0c/s Now, what Perks increase Gate times?…

MCote's Favorite Movie Killer
I remember in a twitch stream a long while ago, sometime around Clown's release, MCote mentioned his most wanted Movie Killer for DbD was Pinhead. I wonder if that's still on his bucket list? We've had 2 licensed Killers in the meantime; Ghostface and Demogorgon. I think Pinhead could be a really interesting addition to…

XBOX Dedicated Servers When?
All we got was a little Discord comment a week ago saying "Xbox still needs some work". When are we actually getting servers? What does "some more work" mean for us?

A Constructive Conversation on Recent Events and Game Issues
Doc is getting buffed, Ruin is getting nerfed, and the community is up in arms. This is certainly one of the worst community reactions I've seen, close to on-par with the Howling Grounds event. However, I think that with the focus being on Ruin, the devs and the majority of the community have lost sight of the underlying…

Figments of DBD Past
This is an ever-expanding compendium I'm keeping of all the big things that have been removed from, or reworked out of the game! * 3 blink 4.6m/s movement speed Nurse * Unhook rubber-banding * Vacuum pallets * Actually infinite cow tree * Unrelenting+STBFL machine gun build * Insta-blind flashlights * Huge Pale Rose *…

Genuine Question For the Devs
Why make the change to ruin before fixing how massive and unbalanced maps are? I'm aware the game is very unforgiving to new survivors and a little gate-keepy, but I don't think a ruin change would solve that. New Survivors have a massive lack of input on how pressure works in game, the back-and-forth. They're dropped into…

The Reason DC Time-outs Aren't Okay as is, and How to Fix Them.
So, DC time-outs are somewhat commonplace in a lot of competitive games, namely FPS's and some fighting games, among others. Dead by Daylight has always had a DC problem, and so why not implement a DC time-out system, right? Well, Dead by Daylight is very much different in gameplay style and individual game impact. A…

Hotfixed Demogorgon will Have a Very Powerful Build
Black Heart + Mew's Guts make the Demogorgon's Shred cooldown 1.75 seconds... Hotfixed Demogorgon will break pallets by default with his Shred... This effectively means Demogorgon could break pallets in 1.75 seconds as opposed to the default 2.6, which is nearly a 50% faster break.

Perks Like The New Dying Light Are Going to Lead to Massive Issues.
Dying Light in and of itself is a fine perk. Possibly even meta. However, the fact that Sloppy Butcher and Thanataphobia already exist is what creates the problem. Just thinking about it here, if you have everyone injured and 6 stacks of Dying Light (i.e. you've two-hooked every non obsession) then that means there's a 34%…

Question about the upcoming hotfix.
First, will the Demogorgon's Ultra Rare add-on that breaks pallets be changed? Second, when is the hotfix launching?

Figured out the release date for the PTB and 3.2.0 Chapter...
So. The devs have said dedicated servers come out before summer, right? Summer ends September 23rd. Now, I'm assuming that dedicated servers will come with 3.2.0, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to just release them in a seperate update. So, when's September 23rd? The 4th monday of September. Now, updates only come…

A Reflection on Hex Perks, Totems, and the Like.
Hex Perks. A, shall we say, unique game mechanic. I'm going to try my best to avoid personal bias here, but for perspective, I do not like Hex Perks. In my personal opinion, they do not require skill and are very luck based. I am also speaking from a rank 1 Killer and Survivor standpoint. Anyways. First of all, totems…
-
Why Are Toolboxes Still in the Game?
Genuine question. How is it that it's fair for Survivors to have Toolboxes? Prove Thyself is fine because all it does is make up for an inefficiency so it's not actually speeding up the objective more than normal, and Resilience is a risk/reward, but Toolboxes just let Survivors do objectives faster without any skill…

Play With Your Food Rework #5
That's right ladies and gentlemen. It's rework number 5. Number 5. Number 5. Current Play With Your Food: You become obsessed with one Survivor. Every time you chase your Obsession and let them escape, you receive a Token up to a maximum of 3 Tokens. Each Token increases your movement speed by 3/4/5%. Each offensive action…

Please PLEASE BRO Stranger Things would be very epic plEASE I need that good Stranger Things in my favorite game dead by sunrise plEAse :(

Can I Just Say?
The 3.1.0 patch is, in my opinion, the best patch to date and marks what I believe to be a turning point for DBD. The New Nightmare is, in my opinion, the best designed killer in the game. New Freddy is so much fun to play as, with so much depth due to how uniquely he can move around the map, and how uniquely he makes…
-
Enduring Buff
Just tossing this out there cuz the idea popped in my head and I wanna write it down before I forget. Enduring - You are resilient to pain. The duration of pallet stuns are reduced by 40/45/50%. Pallet stuns no longer deactivate or deplete your power. I'll list here what that looks like, for Killer's in which this applies:…

Vintage Freddy/Freddy Rework
Way way WAY back in September-ish of last year when Freddy was announced to be the next killer that was getting reworked/add-on passed, I spent two weeks getting him to P3 lvl50, and then getting every single perk on him. Ever since, I've played a lot of Freddy and gotten used to his playstyle, which is actually very good…

Can Someone Post All of New Nightmare's Add-Ons?
As per usual for a console player, I do not have access to the PTB. The difference this time being, I'm a Freddy main with like a bajjilion add-ons. I gotta know what they are bruh fr fr on jah.
-
What's Wrong With Killer Lobbies Though?
Played about 15 games in a row because I LOVE Ghostface, and at best the Killer wait time was like 5 minutes. At worst it was 15 minutes. Do the devs know why? If they do know why, is there an announcement, or ETA on some sort of fix?
-
Devs, Why Don't You Use In-Game News?
The in-game News tab is hardly used for announcing streams, forum posts, etc. I feel as if it would increase publicity and knowledge of the outside of the game events tenfold if it WAS used. I feel it's definitely underused by the devs. They should use it more.
-
So GhostFace is a Paragraph...
The thing is, that leaves more time for the devs to do other things. Could there be a boatload of balance changes this coming patch?

Reducing the Grind! A Two Step Plan.
The grind sucks! It's only getting worse with every chapter. What can we do to fix it? This: First, condensing bloodpoint offerings. This will let people get more bloodpoints more often, and spend less on useless offerings. Remove useless offerings: Remove all 12 of survivor's flower offerings Remove all 12 of killer's…

Pig's Dash Rework
Ahh, Pig. How much RNG you rely on, only to get nerfed. I'm sure we're all in agreement that Pig's dash is pretty underwhelming. Especially when you can just stand up and get grabs on people anyways. I have and idea on how to rework it: First, while crouching, Pig should move at 4.0 meters per second. While charging dash,…

Why do Items/Add-Ons Have Vague Descriptions?
Why is it that all items and add-ons have such vague descriptors such as "slightly/moderately/considerably/tremendously"? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for players to have more accurate descriptions? I don't see anything wrong with writing down the actual percentage/raw number modifiers.

What Happened to the Add-On Passening?
Way back in 2.1.0 and 2.2.0 we started getting add-on passes for older killers. All we got was Hag, Trapper, and Wraith. What happened to that?

Stacking Question for the Devs (Math Stuff)
So, how do perks and add-ons stack? For example, you're using "Brutal Strength" and "Shadow Dance - Blood" on Wraith, and you're kicking a Generator. Kicking a generator requires 2 charges, and default kicking is 1 charge per second. "Brutal Strength" adds +0.20 charges, and "SD-B" adds somewhere around +0.50 charges. How…
