What's up with DbDs writing?
Im not sure if they did it on purpose but most of the writing entries for stuff like character background and tomes really seem like first drafts that got thrown right into the game.
-
Can BHVR disable all terrible maps?
C'mon, we all know RPD and Midwich are still completely awful. When I get these map as survivor (50/50 player typically), I rejoice. All I have to do usually is run in a straight line...find a window or god pallet, let my swf do like 3 gens. I do win as killer on these maps, but to do so I often employ nasty strategies…

Unusual Occurrence
Just had a super intense match as Huntress, and noticed something unusual. Something that hasn't happened to me in my near 1900 hrs on PC ever. You know those small cliffs on most maps that contain hooks+sometimes chests? I was facing the rock edge on one side pretty closely whilst picking up a survivor. Well, someone…
-
Any tips for a returning player?
I haven't consistently played DBD since the Twins came out, that should give a timeframe on how long it's been since I've played. In that time, I clocked about 1700 hours from Clown to Blight, was really into the game, but my joy really started to die out, but im wanting to come back suddenly! That seemed like it would be…

PC Controller Supports seems bugged
PC Controller input on the title screen seems jagged, as if it's following a line and isn't free moving. Very slow and jumpy. Just using Controller (PS4) to play. Happens anytime launching after the RE update.
-
(PC) Framerate drops are common and awful.
Steps to reproduce? Just play the game. The frames are dropping mad crazy and it's making it really hard to play and enjoy. It'll be 60 frames one second and 5 the next. Wasn't a problem for the past several patches.
-
Any luck with the new VHS Porn?
I've gotten a few survivors with it, but if they're not newer players they typically realize what's going on after the 1st time they get beaned. Just wondering if it's been funny for anyone else though, cuz I've had some laugh moments. Sad for solvent jug...but I do like the speed buffs I guess. They're DEVASTATING in a…
-
Deathslingers gun would not work...
Blanks typically fire a cable mounted harpoon, not a chain. Chains would never hit their target, even at high speeds. Slingers rounds don't even have enough powder to fire a harpoon that fast smh. Unplayable...this is a super big detail.

The DbD Community Health Project.
UPDATE: THE DISCORD! (https://discord.gg/vwNRswb) Hi, I checked forum rules to see if this was allowed, and it seems it is as I found nothing against it. So I've decided to go through with it! I hope you're excited to see a forum project come up. I'd like to see if anyone is interested in joining me in an investigation (or…

The Psychological Effect of DbD
I recently started thinking and studying into some psychological stuff and even unironically spoke to my own therapist about how dbd might have an overall negative impact on my mental health. The results and responses I got were staggering, but won't take long to share. This is just ONE medical professionals opinion of…

Why do I keep getting redirected to posting in the 4.0.0 ptb archives?
You can't even post there. I'm going to screenshot and then send what I'm seeing, this is stupid. So, here's what I'm seeing EVERY TIME I try to post. I don't know where this post will go when I click post discussion.
-
The pop nerf is not a big deal, but it IS worthless.
The pop nerf is not that severe, the only thing I can see it affecting is if you're too busy bodying survivors or they have repressed alliance (which helps you more than the survs btw). The only thing I personally believe is that this nerf serves no purpose outside the devs wasting time for no reason. A valid worthwhile…
-
Why do devs continuously nerf killers that aren't that strong?
A PH nerf is not at all necessary. PH isn't very strong, mid tier. Yet, he will be nerfed. I guess killers like Spirit are worse than him.
-
A full day as and seeing Blight, here are my issues.
1. He still can easily accidentally bounce into objects he did not mean to. The collision may have been changed but he is so fast his power becomes unusable in some areas, but you also shouldn't nerf the speed so? 2. He needs to have a better turning range in his lethal rush lunge. You have almost no control over it and it…
-
Hate to say it, but Blight wasn't weak JUST due to collision.
So cool, you fixed his collision a bit. Sad to say, his base power is still...not good y'know? It's ping pong machine, I'm not sure why anyone says the ability to hit people in his power is strong. Any loop shuts that down immediately. Any turn. Any main building. What's going on here?
-
We still don't have proper graphics options.
It's been 4 years, and still, we have 4 options, and a resolution slider. (a slider, seriously? Resolution slider??) Anyways, I understand that dbd has to maintain "balance" but things like Anti-aliasing don't affect balance really. It just makes the game super blurry. We shouldn't have to turn these things off or on in a…
-
Console players, if a PC Killer/Surv DCs make sure to check Steam services.
Steam goes down a lot more than PSN/Xbox Live. And that results in dbd becoming completely unplayable for them. Thought I'd give a heads up.
-
Why are we comparing PC and Console players so different from each other?
At the end of the day the core game is exactly the same. The PC experience is objectively better but besides that we're still playing the same game. So I'm really not understanding the generalizations such as "PC Billy's are bad" or "console survivors are bad". Or "x platform is a camper." Etc.
-
Allow PC players to type to console players.
Is this just something Sony/MS/Nintendo doesn't want? I feel like it can't be hard.
-
Why are killers still locked during matchmaking?
MMR was turned off. There's no need for that to stay a feature right now.
-
4 year bug?
"Fixed an issue where the Hillbilly's chainsaw charge would not be fully reset properly after being stunned, leading to the Hillbilly having the ability to use the chainsaw too quickly after a stun." If this was a bug, it took you guys a LONG time to fix it. Why not just put this in balance rather than calling it a "bug"?
-
So, if we play a killer we don't play often...
Are we gonna get baby survivors and just demolish them?
-
Billy's Add-On Problem, what can be done?
So, as of the latest mid-chapter both Billy and Bubba obviously got reworks. One of the reworks is awesome, heavily favored by the community, and praised. The other (Billy) seems less so. His add ons are not great, his new power limit doesn't do anything really(nor should it!), and overall he's just slightly weaker, which…
-
So what, should I depip on purpose? (Ruined Plans)
Level 1 challenges have never been this hard imo, or this grindy. I just have to point out...WHY is this a level 1 challenges? Complete a match with ALL generators remaining with Ruin. 1. Ruin does not help you keep a 5 gen up. There's 4 survivors running around, you're gonna need them to play along or down people…
-
Mother's Helpers...
They stayed the same guys...
-
Do not let EAC boot you out mid match.
You can wait to ban cheaters until their match is over, seriously. Because as of right now, EAC seems to be all wonky and kicked me out of a game. It told me to quit game as survivor mid match today but didn't ban me or anything. What is going on? And no, this is not an admission of guilt.
-
What happened to the old pallet breaking animation?
I know this is very specific, it's been years, and nobody probably cares anymore but the old kick animation used to look a lot better in my opinion. Rather than just lightly sorta tap the pallet in first person it really looked like they STOMPED at it. I kinda just wonder why it was ever changed at all.
-
New Grab Bug?
Platform: PC Here's how it happened. I "grabbed" a survivor as they jumped into a locker but the grab failed (as always, nothing unusual), HOWEVER the game thought I was carrying someone. I couldn't interact with anything, and also I had a hook prompt but couldn't actually hook them. I also moved at carrying speed. This…
-
How to Instantly Lose (High Success Rate)
1. Attempt to grab a survivor. 2. Server lag or whatever causes the grab to fail 3. The game believes the grab was successful, when it wasn't so you are "carrying" a survivor. 4. You will have the hook prompt, but be unable to actually hook them. 5. You did it! You lose! You're moving at carrying speed, can't use your…
-
Why did Ruin get nerfed for being "overused"?
If I'm not mistaken, a little while ago some guy did a test of like 100 matches and ended up concluding that perks like Adrenaline and DS, were used in almost every single match. Wasn't it in like the 70s or 80s as far as usage at high ranks? I'm not even saying DS should be nerfed. But it does show that sometimes these…
-
Okay, you can cry about the Billy nerf now.
It's way overtuned. If you also don't like it, please let the devs know in ptb feedback! If you do like it, you can of course do the same thing, but I'd genuinely take some time to play Billy then reconsider.
-
Multiple Killers Mode
I know this has been suggested many times, but I think it could be a ridiculously chaotic and fun game mode that may honestly make some people a bit less salty at losing. I wonder what the technical limitations are... Having a teammate as killer for once would just be kinda cool.
-
The "all time classic"
What do you think Clown's watching?
-
Let's not forget about Nurse, guys.
May she rest in peace, in the arms of an angel. But in all seriousness, please. Take a look at Nurse BHVR. She's suffering, over half her add ons are memes, she's buggy as all hell, and has tons of deadzones to deal with still. (I love going from the Pale Rose to basement while aiming up and forward.) Yes. She is a good…
-
Caging wasn't useful, even before this change.
Sorry. I just kinda wanted to say it. Sure it counters some perks that can be mildly annoying at times, but overall the cages aren't that strong. The survivor can be saved usually pretty instantly and you then have no pressure on the map. It also doesn't activate any of your hook perks like BBQ and Pop. You should really…
-
Does anyone else have settings issues?
It's a pretty well known fact at this point that dbd doesn't like to work as intended so whatever, but if this IS intended I can't see any reason why. I use a controller on PC and tend to like my sensitivity at around 50% because that's just what's comfortable for me as killer and survivor. However, EVERY TIME I relaunch…
-
New Killer may not be very good...
Low movement speed and no map pressure results in a clown. Except clown has an even easier to use power with 115. Yes, I genuinely think this new killer is weaker than Clown. It is ONLY the PTB so it's not my final conclusion nor should it be anyone's but he may need buffs and I hope the devs are open to it.
-
New Ruin is a big joke
It really is trash it's making me laugh even thinking about what their plan was. It's awful, and has almost no purpose.
-
Oh no! A killer is good! Unfun!
Seriously, why is every good killer viewed as unfun and unfair. Because they can get kills? I'm not even a pure one side main, more 50/50 and basically exclusively surv lately. I am so not shocked why killers do get nerfed in weird ways. The community asks for it!
-
Will killers get a change for their fun?
I'm kinda just curious. I know, insta heals. But those were BROKEN. Ruin isn't a broken thing, insta heals definitely were. Hopefully killers get some frustration changes soon too :).
-
Isn't DS frustrating for new players?
Just curious. It seems like new players may be confused or unnecessarily trigger it and then wonder how the surv got away. You might need to rework it :)
-
Doc feels Clunky, and needs more changing.
He feels awful in the ptb to play, everything feels wrong. The cooldown after a blast/even just a shock therapy is too much and honestly is a bit annoying. Devs, please take a look back at doctor.
-
I've never seen this much outrage...
Out of any changes, even nurse this is the worst. Devs, I would take this to heart.
-
Literally nobody asked for ruin nerf consistently
No survivor mains "rose up" to get ruin nerfed. There was hardly an outcry. What is their plan? The devs are killing their own game.
-
Ruin shouldn't be a hex now.
It should just be a normal perk with a change like this. 2 times regression is literally 1% every 2 seconds. It's still takes 160 seconds to fully regress a gen this is a big fat joke.
-
Generator Times are bad still
Listen, I get it. You think solos would be crushed. But let's think for a moment. Solos, for the most part, seemingly already do while SWF who's sweating is way too powerful. Maps are bad, but so is general gen time. Even if all Chase's were 15 seconds the killer must -hook 3 times -carry the survivor -hook them -find…
