Another request for Bubba's chainsaw timer to be in the middle of his screen.
It's a simple quality of life update that just makes the killer more fun and enjoyable to play with no negative impact on balance. Having the timer in the corner of the screen makes so little sense when you're using a power that demands that you focus on how you're moving and where you're going. The rev up bar is already…

It would be a great QOL feature to put Bubba's power bar in the center of his screen
Give him a duration bar in the center of his screen that so it's easier to monitor and to better time charges instead of a small red bar in the corner that can distract you. It can be really bad having to look at the bottom left of the screen to time your charges properly mid chase, especially on indoor maps or other areas…

Why is DBD's anti cheating system so flawed?
I don't get it. How does their system allow someone's client to register using all the perks they want, even with modified stats, and not detect anything? Or how hard is actually to make a system that can detect that a survivor is moving over their speed cap when there are no modifiers at play like a perk, health state…

Is the reason for Myers not getting touched because of license restrictions?
From what I think I understand the original license owners have to be engaged and negotiated with for everything that goes on with anything related to their IP in game. So it'd make sense if that's the reason cause they haven't even been able to release cosmetics for the killer since he came out. Same thing with Bubba…

Nemesis should not have a cleanse mechanic.
It shouldn't exist on a killer that's not actively debuffing the survivors with anything besides enabling his ability. It makes sense on Wesker. They get infected and now they can be 1 tapped with a slam while also being permanently slowed. It's a strong debuff and it should be cleansable. Nemesis however who already has…

Wraith's Shadow Dance should last for a couple of seconds after uncloaking.
Survivors can counter the addon too easily by just spam vaulting pallets, forcing wraith into mind games around his uncloak or just accepting the loss by uncloaking and forcing them off the pallet. Either option leading to the survivor wasting his time for free. For a killer that's not particularly strong it feels like…

Why not make double engravings basekit on Hillbilly?
The only people who main hillbilly are hard dedicated to the playstyle of curving around loops. At the worst of skill levels it's a joke and at the highest of skill levels there's a massive amount of room for mistakes and counter play. Even when played perfectly it still doesn't offer consistent enough downs and down speed…

Could bubba get his chainsaw duration bar in the middle of the screen?
Would make it easier to keep track of your chainsaw and time the token usage without having to look down at the bottom left while going around tight obstacles and risk bumping. Just reuse the same charge bar that's used for actually charging the chainsaw and tweak it slightly. Should save on asset work and make this a…
-
Could you revert the Pharmacy changes?
This ended up being a nerf more than anything. I get the idea behind it was to give people a type of alternative healing perk by allowing them to get multiple medkits, but in practice it just doesn't work well. Other people take chests and you can't even find more than 1 half the time unless you bring in a Plunderer which…

How about some love for Spies From the Shadows
It's an OG pick that has been on the back burner for years. Despite that it still remains a favorite of mine. Could you make it an aura reading perk instead of a noise notification? With gen regression constantly getting nerfed I don't see why we couldn't get some large buffs to information perks, especially niche ones.
-
Could self care receive a compensation buff?
I like running Self Care builds and am perfectly fine with dedicating all of my perk slots to it. I get nerfing Circle of Healing since that perk is pretty disgusting. But could you make it so Self Care is still viable after the healing changes? I think 4 perk slots dedicated to healing without a medkit or boon should…

Could you buff franklin's so we can examine the item a survivor drops
Make it so when they drop items after being hit by franklin's you can see the same UI prompt that survivors do when passing over an item on the ground. Shows the item and it's attached addons. Gives franklin's more power in what it does cause you never know if you just smacked a brown medkit out of someone's hand or a…
-
Could Billy get an addon that lets him move and turn faster while overheated?
Give him a yellow tier meme addon that makes you overheat immensely quicker but gives him a massive bonus to movement speed and turn speed while overheated in chainsaw sprint. Thought it'd be fun to play with an addon that gives you a really cracked singular chainsaw sprint that's held back by a long cooldown. That way…
-
Buff legion.
Even after his rework the killer remains weak due to a lack of map pressure and chase power. A perk build can only really band aid it so much, especially with strong slow down perks constantly getting nerfed. Make it so when Legion isn't in chase during feral frenzy he gets a massive movement speed bonus. This should…
-
Add a charge time to dead hard and give survivors a unique animation showing it's ready.
Make it so survivors have to hold E for a short period of time before dead hard goes off with a visual effect during the charge animation. This eliminates this weird point blank mind game meta of forcing killers to play around it, even if it's not actually there. Then add a visual indication to the survivor of some sort so…
-
Legion still feels terrible to play.
The whole reason why the killer fails is that frenzy wasn't fast enough to cover map distance when people preemptively ran. This leads to him having 0 map pressure, especially if the survivors are smart and just don't bother healing without the stupid boon totem. The movement speed buff is a drop in the bucket. I can't…
-
Could you make Circle of Healing only apply to people with the perk and without a medkit?
I like to run purely non item reliant build, specifically self healing builds cause that's what I enjoy. I always run Self Care, Botany, Desperate Measures, and then usually borrowed time cause I didn't have a perk that gave me a sufficient enough healing speed boost to warrant taking that slot. With Circle of Healing…
-
Legion still needs a rework.
Amongst the community Legion's various problems are well understood, as is the fact that he needs a rework. Arguably he's the weakest killer in the game and this makes him very unfun and frustrating to play the better the survivors get. Legion also relies on getting free injures on people and forcing them to wait out a…

Allow killer addons to be purchased directly with BP via unlocks with prestige.
The idea is simple. First is unlock the cap on prestige and allow for as high of a level as needed. After a minimum required prestige rank, lets say 3 as an example, you unlock a secondary shop option within the bloodweb that allows you to directly purchase addons at the same or a slightly modified BP cost. The tier of…

Can we get a killer perk that allows you to kick a gen from a distance?
The idea is a non hex perk that allows you to use a special action key or something while somewhat close to a generator and aiming at it to auto kick it without a time waste. It can have a short cooldown of like 15-20 seconds. If that's somehow too strong, which personally I don't think it is for a perk slot, then just…
-
Can autodidact get a rework next?
If you want to try and entice players to stop using meta perks you have actually make the non meta perks strong enough to be considered in the first place, or at least functional enough to be viable. I personally love healing only builds with maybe only a borrowed time for when I'm playing with friends. I'd love to run the…
-
Can you make Mettle of Man more interesting?
Reduce the user's repair speed by a large amount but in exchange buff his self healing speed by an also decent amount, probably through some sort of token system. Decrease the amount of hits required for the shield from 3 to 2 and make it infinite use. You could even make it so the shield only activates when it's a…

Being injured or hooked should actually impact the game more.
The fundamental problem with DBD, the big screwed up reason why high level SWF play is as broken as it is, and to some extent even why normal play with good survivors is annoying, is that being injured or having a teammate hooked doesn't actually mean anything negative for the team. People should already know this from…
-
So when are we getting Shia LaBeouf as a killer?
Devs made a comment saying that from a gameplay standpoint they could even implement chucky if they really wanted to. So what about everyones favorite cabin in the woods stalking horror monster from the transformers films?

Billy is fine and Bubba is still questionable.
Apparently there's some movement problems that people have claimed is plaguing new billy, so I can't make an opinion on those. Could be intentional or could be a bug, but personally I'm not familiar enough with him to tell the difference. But the overheat mechanic seems fine. They considerably increased the speed at which…
-
Thanks BHVR
Against all odds you actually didn't screw over billy 3 ways from sunday. I'll take back every mean thing I've said about you guys and your balance changes. Bubba is also pretty cool. Not gonna lie though the auras are kinda whack. If you're doing it for performance issues then maybe consider adding it as a toggle option…
-
Killer add-ons should become permanent as you prestige.
Killer addons are way too central in dead by daylight for them to be consumable. It's not like survivors where their gameplay is completely unhindered by not having items. Killer addons on a good number of killers are often more important to the killer than entire perk builds, some killers even barely above the line of…

Here's how to buff Solo Queue survivor to SWF and open up the game to better killer tuning.
Add in an in-game chat function. Add in a list of quick key call outs like other team based games. "I'm doing a gen" "I need healing" "I'm being chased" "Generator blocked" ect. Could be hotkeyed or from a radial menu. Put in a special ping key that when pressed reveals your aura to your teammates for a few seconds and put…

Make Survive with Friends give more bloodpoints to killers and let them be seen.
Just read an interesting idea from a comment in general and thought it'd be a good idea with some expansion. Let SWF be seen and marked in the pre game lobby. Each player in a SWF squad will have a marker next to their name and it'll be color coded as a team to which ever SWF they're in. So lets say there's 2 teams of 2…

Decisive and Unbreakable need nerfs.
Go with scottjund's suggestions. Make DS infinite use, allow the timer to tick down but pause when the survivor is in chase. Instantly disable it if the survivor performs any actions. Repairing, Healing, sabotaging, unhooking, entering a locker, ect. Give killers a notification it's active. Put a marker on the survivors…
-
So far I'm definitely seeing the nasty side of things.
I guess when you only play killer you don't see how the other killers decide to be #########. Don't get me wrong, I still think a lot of survivor mechanics are stupid. DS needs gutting, BT needs tuning, and gen speeds are way too fast. But damn. I'm casually farming points in green rank survivor since I wanted to relax but…
-
So since Billy is getting nerfed when are we gutting Decisive Strike?
Billy is supposedly completely fine but they're gonna nerf him to add that extra bit of "counterplay". So when is DS, the perfectly balanced survivor perk that totally not everyone in red ranks use because it's a crutch second chance perk, gonna get it's own little taste of extra "counterplay"? A community manager was the…

Yet another game lost to second chance perks.
I try to be nice by leaving the hooked guy and give the other dude a chance to get a save. I then proceed to get body blocked to death because haddonfield is such a great map, and when I get bodyblocked and forced to down the BT'd unhooked guy I get DS'd in the exit gate which was right next to the damn hook. Lose 2 kills…

It's a worrying sign when a developer avoids legitimate arguments made against their decisions.
I won't name any names, and this is valid criticism. This post will follow the rules and will have no reason why it should be moderated in anyway. But this really isn't a good thing to pull as a developer at all. A certain someone streams on twitch and he himself opens himself to the discussion by specifically asking for…

This is how you know you've actually made a bad balance decision.
There exists a human being. A hidden ninjutsu killer master of the 9th hall of the secret shaolin temple. Every killer Prestige 3, plays all of them at Rank 1, thinks pig is actually a good killer and 4k's with her, thinks generator speeds are COMPLETELY fine and he's more than content with the current state of things.…

Legion rework concept.
Make feral frenzy a mode similar to ghostface, wraith, old doctor, ect. Lower the movement speed to start out with. 5% to drop it from 130% to 125% When in feral frenzy and you hit a survivor you gain killer instinct for a short duration. Enough to give you an idea where to head next if they're in your range, not something…
-
Automatic generator regression should be a built in mechanic.
The regression speed is laughably unbalanced compared to how quickly survivors can hold space bar on a generator and complete it. It takes a solo survivor with no items or perk bonuses 80 seconds to complete a generator. A kicked generator takes 320 seconds to regress from full. For the 2 seconds you spent to kick the…

DBD always manages to give me a full sweat SWF group when I'm just starting to enjoy my matches.
Late night with 1 last game for the day. Full 4 man with meta perk builds, 2 decked out toolboxes with 1 Brand New Part, and 2 instablind flashlights. The map is Ormand. Am I supposed to feel outplayed by this? Am I supposed to honestly believe that survivors deserve any respect at all when this is what their optimal…
-
Ruin and Huntress Lullaby should be normal perks and not Hex.
Killer tools for slowing down the game shouldn't be as restrictive as they are. Pop, the current best slow down tool in the game, regresses a gen by only 20 seconds of solo repair time (11 for 2) in exchange for an entire survivor hook which can easily take over double or triple that time to actually acquire the hook to…
