How do you counter double blighted addon blight?
Had my first experience with a P100 version of these the other day and I found it more punishing than old nurse in gideons meat plant. He had used a macmillan offering, so the map was pretty ideal for him. He had lethal pursuer and apparently came for me, first. I ended up being smacked while shaking heads with another…

Pretty unhappy that I keep buying characters only to learn they're really weak.
Because of their scare potential, I was super excited to play Onryo and the Dredge, only to realize that they are really weak which makes them not much fun to play. They both seem to fall behind, but Onryo especially so. I wanted to try for the adept with Onryo after you changed the requirements for Merciless victories,…

It might be a stretch, but anyone else wish the Rift was extended?
It's a lot to ask I guess, considering that they extended the rift to 85 days with 6.3.0, but there were technical issues for both xbox and playstation. Both xbox and playstation suffered crashes from the halloween event, which was fixed in November(?). Then there was a cursor issue on playstation. I couldn't reliably play…

All the new changes are great, me thinks
Features added to level the playing field for solo queue should help a lot - I look forward to this as I play solo exclusively when I play survivor. The nurse changes were surprisingly good. I didn't realize just how powerful it is to have her blink attacks not be special attacks - this should make her easier to face.…

Killer Idea: Ancient Aliens killer.
Killer: The Alien Power: Smoke Weed and Spread Misinformation 420 Traverse the map as the alien while smoking weed, leaving trails of smoke that will linger for 60 seconds, filling the map over time. Any survivors that are immersed in the smoke for more than 10 seconds become stoned and have any notifications they receive…

Why are survivors allowed to stand inside of killer models after collision returns?
It's incredibly easy to do, requires to no effort and can provide an advantage whether survivors do it or not. If you take the time to look, the survivor you're after gains more ground. If you don't look you have to consider you're potentially letting survivors get away. It would be fair to add a notification, like a white…

Would you support Eruption's incapacitate effect functioning like Merciless Storm's blocking effect?
So, when a survivor is downed, instead of automatically being hit with incapacitate, you are instead faced with continuous skill checks for 10 seconds. If any affected survivor misses one of those skillchecks, or stops repairing the generator each survivor on that generator are inflicted with 15 seconds of incapacitate.…

Still crashing after installing new hard drive into PS4
Platform: PS4 Description: System crashing; music stops, and textures stop loading, everything becomes low res.. The next time the UI changes, the game freezes, then crashes. Actually, the entire console crashes, not just the game - If I try to quit out of the game, the console's UI freezes. Happens at any point in the…

Is Jonah Vasquez autistic?
Some people online were recently talking about Greg on the TV show "Abbott Elementary" showing autistic traits without explicitly labeling him autistic and I immediately thought about Jonah and his similarities to that. Like, how his backstory, his perks and the descriptions on some of his outfits fits that bill: He's…

Is crashing at the end of a match still an issue for anyone else after 6.3.1?
I will get to the end of a match, during EGC or when leaving the arena, and the game will freeze and either my playstation shuts off after a minute, or I have to unplug it. I'm worried that doing this too much is going to damage my device. Prior to the patch I had thought it may have been due to cheaters, so I setup a VPN…

You do care about PvP!
BHVR: "duh! *****" Well, I've never been so happy to have been proved wrong. I think you guys did a great job with patch 6.1.0 and I'm hoping you keep with adjusting things to make the game more equitable regardless of role. I've been playing for a few weeks now and haven't found the game to be completely different, but…

When people refer to FOMO, what are they talking about?
I've heard of the acronym "Fear of Missing Out" but in what context is it relevant to BHVR, specifically? It seems like a special context... or is that not the case? I've been gone a year, and have read very little about all that's changed beyond perks and abilities. Thanks

Anybody else on PS4 being disconnected to the point that their PS4 freezes?
I will be playing a match normally, and at any random time the game will lose it's audio or some other weird thing will be missing and about 5-10 seconds later the game will freeze. Sometimes it happens at the end of the match when transitioning to the scoreboard. The times it happens during a match I'm usually playing…

What happened to the "pallet budget" on reworked maps? (reworking loops with pallets)
During the third year anniversary livestream, the level design team described how map reworks were going to adjust pallet loops to make them more equitable by making them smaller, but more numerous. However, after springwood was reworked with this in mind... it seems that idea was abandoned, because none of the loops on…

The Spirit's directional audio cue makes her really boring to play
Initially I was on board with these changes, because I hadn't played her, I guess. After having played her, I realized the only mindgames available are at vaulting locations. Outside of that, the directional audio cue tells people EXACTLY what I'm doing. So, if during a chase I hear someone fixing a gen, I will sometimes…

DBD x Vampyr colab? An idea for Vampyr's protagonist as a killer
Vampyr is one of my favorite games for it's atmosphere and immersion, and was thinking it would be awesome to see the protagonist as a killer in DBD, a stage based on 1918 london, and some chase music composed in the spirit of Vampyr by Oliviere Deriviere. If you've never played it, in the game, the primary way you move…

Is dead hard really any different from the endurance status effect?
Sure, they activate differently, but are ultimately interchangeable in any circumstance I can think of. Endurance has some serious restrictions on use, but dead hard does not. Considering that, doesn't this make Dead Hard stronger than the endurance status effect? If so, why does it not have as many restrictions as…

Will the addons being removed in 5.3.0 be replaced with the new addons?
I didn't see anything indicating either way. Maybe I overlooked something? I hope the removed addons are just being replaced, because if not that's a lot of bloodpoints I'll be losing.
-
Am I encountering cheaters? Or...?
While playing survivor I've been running into killers that land a hit after the pallet has dropped. I'm on PS4 so I haven't made a video, but I do have video of it. Basically, one time, just as a wraith was uncloaking, I made it to the pallet and dropped it just as he lunged - about a full second before the hit connected.…

Remove standing fast vaults at dropped pallets
Because you feel it's necessary to change things that are seemingly unfair and imbalanced, like Deathslinger being able to aim too quickly, I think that you should also remove standing fast vaults at pallets. It's not fair, and allows ALMOST every loop with a pallet to function as an infinite until the killer breaks it.…
-
Please restrict stacking the updated Vigil
I don't know how all this stuff is calculated with the charges and whatnot, but I'm assuming that if four survivors equip vigil, a 40 second exhaustion timer would expire in 18 seconds: 40/2.2 Assuming that is the case, if those four survivors also have head-on, they can stun the killer in a sequence, netting a 12 second…

Remove the Directional aspect from Slinger and Spirit's power.
Just make them give the survivors a notification that they are using their power. While you're at it, remove the damn tiger sound from the pig. Make it footsteps or something. Please... anything. I know these boon totems are going to be hell.

There aren't many fun killer synergies anymore
You keep nerfing and changing killers so that synergies between addons and perks don't function very well, if at all. Granted, you're increasing synergies this patch with some hex perks, which I'm happy for. But, so many killer perks are bound up with too many conditions to allow for many synergies.

Jigsaw's Sketch addon changes are a nerf, not a buff.
edit2: I had removed the content of this post after seeing the new addons on twitter, but realized, they're likely going to remove tampered timer at a later date. Basically removing her strongest addon combos. Now, granted, this addon is only strong with a specific build, but it creates some fun gameplay. I would argue…

Developer update Part 2
First off, thank you for the hatch change. That was needed. Why change deathslinger? why change spirit? they aren't over-performing, the survivors just don't think they're fun to face. Why don;t you tell the survivors this isn't called "Survive by Daylight". Thank you for the plague changes, this should create some…

Make Dragon's Grip function like Blast Mine, and Head-on.
As a survivor, when you apply Blast Mine, or use Head-on, the ability is not used and does not go on cooldown if the killer was not affected in any way. With Dragon's grip, if you apply it to a generator and it never fires in those 30 seconds, the perk still goes on cooldown and resets. If a survivor doesn't interact with…

Please revamp killer BP earnings and their category totals
The killer spends more time in the match than all of the survivors, and often times they can max all of their categories well before the match is over. The returns diminish too quickly, so I would like to see 10k categories for killers. Change hunting score events for finding a survivor to not halve until the category is…
-
Make survivor fast vaults based on tokens
Survivors have 10 tokens for fast vaulting. Every time they fast vault, one is used. While in a chase, the tokens regenerate once every 10 seconds. Outside of a chase, token regenerate every 5 seconds. When out of tokens, survivors can only medium vault until they have more tokens. This would force survivors to be more…

Boon Totems to be the survivors second objective?
I was thinking that they could serve that purpose. However, what's the point in having them if a knowledgeable team understands how to clear 5 gens in less than 10 minutes? Who needs a boon without a bane? Should we assume some buff is coming for killer that will make the boon totems necessary and/or useful? Because the…

Developer Update
I really hope that you guys have been working to make survivors more powerful because you're about to buff the base game for killers. Because, just after reading some of the proposed changes I'm feeling like this is gonna be it for me. For the past two years 90% of the killers you've released have a power that is an attack…

I finally got to play killer without a 10 minute queue, but it sucked.
So, previously, there was a long queue to play killer. I don't know hwy but somehow that queue has disappeared. However, regardless of that, it still sucks because survivors SOMEHOW MIRACULOUSLY figured out that if they just keep someone on gens at all times the game is over in 5-8 minutes! So, basically, I have to play…

Tinfoil time: Could the devs be matching match seeking killers with survivors still in a game?
Survivor times never seem to get longer, they're always short and have been since they did the SBMM test, and since SBMM was made live. Killer timers are never any different, they are always long regardless of the time of day, or which killer is chosen. Granted, this is not the case for everyone that plays killer, but we…

Thank you for fixing the 'reverse pallet stun'
I don't know how the condition to check for player proximity during pallet validation was overlooked, but these things happen, and I'm just glad you guys fixed it promptly. I don't know if anyone knew, but this wasn't only a problem on the PTB. It was denying me a lot of good calls and mind games; it was really…

Pallet Stuns haven't been fixed, the issue has just been put on the killer's end.
After the pallet stun changes, I'm sure a lot of survivors are rejoicing as they don't get hit with weird laggy hits, but why does BHVR feel it's necessary for killer's to deal with this if they feel survivors shouldn't? It happens to me a lot, where I will be playing killer, go to hit a survivor and having something like…

Who out there had trouble understanding the mechanics of Borrowed Time and oblivious/undetectable?
Borrowed Time is being changed to to have no restrictions regarding terror radius to activate, apparently due to people finding the mechanics confusing. So, I'm wondering who out there found this confusing? Just trying to get an idea of where this is coming from, because I don't think I've ever heard someone say it was…

Give consoles more options regarding brightness / contrast
Most of the advantages PC had over console were addressed before crossplay launched, or soon after. BHVR did a great job increasing camera sensitivity, and making next-gen console versions of the game, which addressed FPS disparities. (still haven’t been able to get one of these) Graphics settings are still an issue,…

Add exhaustion to Deep Wound
Most people know that second chance perks aren't OP on their own, but become OP when they're stacked, and completely broken when SWFs use them in certain orchestrated sequences. So, in an effort to balance that, exhaustion could be added to the deep wound status effect. As it is now, people can stack endurance with…

Apply Exhaustion for 30 seconds whenever a survivor receives an Endurance status effect
Most people know that second chance perks aren't OP on their own, but become OP when they're stacked, and completely broken when SWFs use them in orchestrated sequences. In an effort to balance that, exhaustion could be applied for 30 seconds any time Endurance is applied to a survivor. As it is now, the most popular…

Blood Favor is bad, and doesn't make sense.
Hitting a survivor gives them enough speed and distance to reach a pallet more than 16m away. So, it really doesn’t become useful until some of the pallets are gone, which never happens because it’s a hex and is removed before a lot of the pallets are gone. Also, once most of the pallets are gone, there's little need for…

Give killers an immunity to blindness after being blinded.
There should be an immunity to blindness after being blinded. Being blinded again before you’ve recovered isn’t fair. Yes, yes, you can just look up, or down to get it to stop, but anyone who is new that doesn’t understand that will just stand there and take it, like this guy does over the next ~15 seconds of this clip.…

Please add more blood to Charlotte's Prestige outfit, specifically the body piece and victor.
I was excited to rush to get her to p3-50, but when I got the outfit I was let down. There's little difference between the default body and the prestige body piece. On the prestige version, the cloth and knapsack(?) is a bit darker, and theres some blood around the edges of the cloth, as well as on the legs and hands, but…

Why are the BP benefits getting stingier?
Iunno, I don't mean to complain... but I've been playing regularly for more than two years and am only partially 'complete'; I play almost every killer game using BBQ and chili with a BP offering if I have one; I have finished every rift, and still, at this point I have only the killers at P3 with most at 50. All of my…
