Looking Back At Patch 6.1.0 ~ Was The "Massive Meta Shake-Up" A Disaster?
Patch 6.1.0 changed a large amount of perks for both Survivor and Killer and ultimately shaped the game to what it is today, however, I would love to look back at the perks and content changed in Patch 6.1.0 and see how well the changes hold up in current DBD compared to at the time. KILLER First off, I think it would be…

What Is Even The Point Of "Invocation: Treacherous Crows"?
Literally what is the point of this perk? You have to spend 60 second in basement doing nothing, does not progress the objective/Generators in any meaningful way. It leaves you permanently Broken for the entire game once it is completed and for the game to play a universal sound cue and notification telling the Killer that…

So... About The (Bloodpoint) Role Incentive...
BBQ and WGLF was changed a long while ago to remove their Bloodpoint effects in favor of a Role Incentives giving a bonus amount of Bloodpoint. It is a direct downgrade, since you can no longer play the role you want and have to play the role with Role Incentives; and there is no guarantee that the Role Incentive will even…

Anti-Camp + Self-Unhook Rework
I had this idea to would change how Self-Unhooking and Anti-Camp would work to make it more effective at doing it's job. ~ Self-Unhook now has the default chance set to 0%. At 0% chance of Self-Unhook, you are unable to attempt to Self-Unhook. The intention behind this is to prevent Survivors from being able to immediately…

(Un)Fun Fact About Boon Totems
There is only two perks in the game that increases the Blessing speed of Boon Totems for yourself (not for others); which is Resilience and Spine Chill. It only increases the Blessing speed by 9% and 6% respectively. Better Than New can technically increase Blessing speed but only for other players, it does not affect…

How Do I Play Around Houndmaster?
This is not a rant thread, just moreso Im really struggling and have no idea how to deal with them. Most of the time, it feels like I only really counter them because of a bug or glitch that affects the Houndmaster's power, or in other words, it feels more like Im getting lucky than Im actually countering it. I know the…

Killswitch Shouldnt Block Spending BP On A Character
The Killswitch in DBD is used to remove Characters or Perks from being played to prevent gamebreaking bugs from affecting the game. But Ive had an issue with it for awhile where you outright cannot interact with those things in any way, this includes things such as spending Bloodpoints in their Bloodweb. With Houndmaster,…
-
Are The "Happy" Snowmen Gone? :(
Have you seen this man? He has gone missing… Ive searched for what feels like forever trying to find one and I havent. I feel like the happy, inflatable snowmen got removed and just fully replaced with the fleshy, rotting snowmen instead. Which is a shame since I actually liked the mix of both, it gave this decent mix of…
-
"Cursed" Addons (DBD Concept)
I would personally love to see the addition of "Cursed" addons, or addons that affect various items or Killer powers that change how they function but do not consume the addons upon use. I want them to function similar to meme addons, in the sense that they change how the item or Killer is played completely, but they dont…
-
Generator Speeds and End-Game...
This is a bit of a mild rant about how the DBD community discusses topics such as Generator Speeds… 5 Generators. Survivors have to complete 5 Generators, which take around 90 seconds per Generator to complete. Yes there are ways to shortcut the Survivor's objective, such as bringing a toolbox or perks to make the…
-
Please Keep This Event Theme Going...
Id love to see more frozen/ice weapons on other Killers. Paired with Frosty Eyes, it just makes sense, and the weapon skins look insanely cool. Maybe you can also go back and give Killers a frozen body piece to pair with the weapons and Frosty Eyes so you have a full set of frozen cosmetics for a Killer. Overall I like…
-
This Achievement Took Me 312 Hours To Get...
Specifically the Left For Dead achievement. This achievement took me 312 hours (yes, I kept track) to get, and it really, really has to do with how poorly designed this achievement is and how much it relies on luck, especially in SoloQ. You have to get lucky and hope your teammates are decent and get Generators done… but…
-
I Wish There Was A Way To Bleed Out Faster...
I sure do love being Bleed out for 4-minutes when the Killer can just end the game. It would be nice if there was some level of agency from the Survivor's end to deal with this issue. :) Also yes, as you can imagine, the Killer did ye ole' W + S on top of me, nodded, and threw hatchets at me while I was on the ground.…

“Just Use Counterforce” (Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt Rant)
I see a lot of posts saying “just use Counterforce to deal with Hex: Thrill of the Hunt” but I’d love to just collectively deal with all of these threads by bringing up some counter arguments that completely shutdown Counterforce entirely. First off… let’s talk modifiers… and math… For those who don’t know how modifiers in…

Shoulder The Burden Is Poorly Designed... (DBD Perk Design)
After making my thread on Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt, I think it is only fair to address Shoulder The Burden and how poorly designed it is. Shoulder The Burden can completely changed the way that the game is played, it outright removes tunneling and, by proxy, can remove a lot of the pressure the Killer can generate through…

Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts Still Missing?
The Nancy, Steve, and Demogorgon Adepts were removed when the DLC License for Stranger Things was not renewed by Netflix… however we now have the Stranger Things DLC in the game, in fact, we've had it for awhile, and the Adept achievements have not returned. When will we get them back?

My New Favorite Killer "50 (Yellow Square) CHARACTER"
MENU TITLE. 🗣️ In all seriousness, I dont know how a bug like this is even possible. It is clear that this is just meant to be placeholder text but I have no idea what caused it, it just popped up while in the lobby after a Survivor left.

Niche Perk Academy ~ "Aftercare" (#1)
How it works… Aftercare is a Jeff Johansen perk. Upon healing a Survivor, being healed another Survivor, unhooking a Survivor, or being unhooked by another Survivor, you and the other Survivor see each other's aura, this effect goes away upon being hooked. The flaws… Having mutual aura reading is not a bad effect, it…

No... I Will Not Be Voting For DBD For The Steam "Labor of Love" Award...
First off, Id like to start this by saying that any Steam users that plans on participating in the Steam Awards event should focus on making their own decisions on who to vote for based on their own personal experiences. I just want to say that DBD is trying (again) to earn the Labor of Love award and I really, really just…

"Ultimate Houndmaster" (Cosmetic) Is Severely Overpriced.
This cosmetic is rated as Ultra Rare however it ultimately falls flat compared to other Ultra Rare skins and is generally not worth the money. Costing 1755 Auric Cells, it costs 20 USD to purchase this skin, it also breaks the price standardization that BHVR said they were doing awhile back since it is more expensive than…

Bloodpoint Farming Is Dead...
…and we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murders of our farming? What was awesome and fast all that would has yet owned has been bleed to death under our knives… (This is where I would continue the copypasta but frankly I have no reason to continue this since it is too distracting. Frankly BP farming is…
-
Pay To Win, Fairness, and DBD...
Before going forwards, I have to go on a limb and say something… DBD is one of those games where I dont exactly thing it is "Pay to Win" entirely and the topic is a bit "iffy" in the since that what you could define as "Pay to Win" tends to change depending on who you ask. If you spent money on "something" and you win with…

Will We Ever Get A "Deception"-Based Killer?
When Legion's trailers and teasers came out, a lot of people thought that they would be a Killer that could disguise themselves like Survivors to get a drop on them, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that this was the original design intention behind Legion before they were changed for PTB/Live Servers. Til this…

2v8 Killer Queue Is Awfully Long. :(
It's so bad that Im having to play Webfishing on the side to pass the time and my friend caught a Golden Bass (0.15% chance) before we got into a game. Damn the queue is taking forever. :( Update: Literally 2-seconds, after 30-minutes of waiting, we got into a game, and I got hit with an EAC error that closed my game.…
-
My Issue With 2v8
I think my biggest issue with 2v8 is how Killer specific interactions got removed in favor of class specific interactions, which just kind of kills part of the fun with 2v8. Before it felt like, despite the limited Killer selection, it gave me a reason to experiment with different Killer combinations since their powers and…

Why Is The New Map Not Coming To Live Servers?
On the PTB, we got a new map, but the Developer Notes state that this map is ONLY for the PTB and will not be coming to Live Servers. I have to ask… why? Was the map scrapped and is only on the PTB since it was polished enough to be available or was scrapped much later in development for the Chapter (and we are using an…
-
Event (Rant)...
I took a break halfway through the event and Im going back to grind through all the stuff before the event ends… and it is absolutely miserable. Ive had several games where the Killer hard tunnels out a player to remove them as fast as possible, often leaving us with 1 Dead at 3 - 4 Generators remaining, and then they just…
-
Are "Selfish Perks" Contributing To Higher Killrates Than "Team Perks"?
Team Perks or perks that benefit the team over one's self, such as Kindred, For The People, or Leader (just to name a few), have been around for a really long time and normally (but not always) provide insane value where they are used IF they can be used. At the same time, Team Perks are only as strong as your team. Their…
-
"April Fools" Gamemode Idea
Last April Fools we got a new gamemode for fun and some event stuff. Specifically it was the "My Little Oni" gamemode where all Survivors were comedically small and the Killer was comedically large. Next year, I had the idea of the new gamemode just being normal DBD, but when you load into the game, it replaces the Killer…
-
What Was DBD's Best Chapter?
What I mean for "Best Chapter" is not necessary "Strongest Character/Perks" but moreso how polished the content was, the content feeling fair and balanced, and the concepting feeling well thought out. For me personally, I think All Things Wicked (Unknown and Sable Ward) was the best Chapter BHVR has ever release. The…
-
I Dont Like How New Items Are Handled...
I love the idea of introducing new items since they lead to more variety in terms of gameplay for Survivor and counter-gameplay for Killer, but the way that new items have been handled is something I dont like. First off, Firecrackers are event locked, and there is no normal equivalent to use, which just sucks since I love…
-
MMR Has Negatively Impacted The DBD Forums...
…and Im tired of pretending like it hasnt. Obviously, going forwards I must address that this is not addressing the community as a whole, moreso just a small thing Ive noticed that has overall negatively impacted the forums (at least based on personal experience). MMR, or Matchmaking Rank/Rating, is used in DBD to try and…

Fun Fact About "Haunting" In HBD
In the Haunted By Daylight event, you can obtain the ability to send out 2 Haunts as Killer. These Haunts can damage a Survivor for a health state. Haunts do not cause you to lose Save The Best For Last stacks, meaning you can use Haunts to only lose 2 (or even 0) stacks when hitting the Obsession. Welcome back "Special…

The "Mild Inconvenience" Build
You ever just look at a Generator and think "hm, how I can I make this feel worse in every single possible way"… no? Well to bad here is the build for that. Despite the name, the build is… well… not a mild inconvenience, it is dedicated to making things as awful as possible for a single player. Hex: Wretched Fate is a perk…
-
Dead Meat x DBD?
Dead Meat, or its host James A. Janisse, I feel like is a long overdue collaboration that should happen, especially after the introduction of Nicolas Cage. For those who dont know, Dead Meat is a YouTube channel that specializes in horror videos and podcasts, but they are most well known for their "Kill Count" videos,…
-
Killswitch Flashbang (+ Firecrackers)
Flashbang is bugged currently and whenever the Killer is performing a Mori, Flashbang blinds will crash the game of the Killer, force them to DC, and give them a DC Penalty for crashing. This applies to Firecrackers as well. Part of this has to do with Flashbang messing up the camera positioning since the game is unable to…

I Think BHVR Really Likes This Cosmetic
We've had this same body piece for Dwight get recolored and thrown into the Rift too many times (in my opinion). Dwight DOES have other cosmetics you can reskin, just please, anything but this one again. I beg you. :(
-
Is Slugging An Issue?
(Screenshot from Chaos Shuffle.) Slugging in DBD is the act of leaving Survivors on the ground for a prolonged period of time. Slugging, in nature, is not necessarily malicious (in most cases), there could be many reasons to slug a Survivor, rather it be to gain pressure on Survivors grouping up or to try and prevent a…

Haunted By Daylight Expectations?
Any expectations or hype this time around? Anything you want to see going forwards? Idk I feel like we kind of brushed over the whole Haunted by Daylight event and should probably talk about it now that it is around the corner.

I Finally Got It
It took me literal months to get this because my luck was that horrible. My main issue was coming across Vecna players, they have a 3% usage rate but I swear I could never find someone using Vecna. To make matters worse, even if I did, most of the time my teammates would get the Artifacts before I could, locking me out of…
-
This Should Be Standard For All Killers/Survivors
Information is important in DBD, but I think this is the perfect way of display powers in DBD. You can charge your M2 and it will show you the exact moment you are able to fully use it; while it might "clutter" the HUD a bit, I think it can be used to properly display the various actions a Killer can make with their power.…
-
Poorly Designed DBD Achievements (In My Opinion)...
Hand Eye Coordination You must play Survivor and hope that by chance your Killer just so happens to be a Vecna, this could take hours or literal days and weeks depending on your luck and is the first massive issue with this achievement. After this, you have to hope that you roll a 20. This could never happen, thus wasting…

I Dont Think This Is Right...?
Hmmm… something is wrong. I can sense it.

Pharmacy Got Gutted Over The Years...
Of all perks you see get talked about, Pharmacy is probably the perk you never heard about or cared about. Pharmacy USE to provide a constant increase to chest searching speed, and the first chest opened would give you an Emergency Medkit. In Patch 6.1.0, Pharmacy was changed to only activate while injured, but you can get…

How I Would Re-Design Skull Merchant...
Ive seen a lot of people discuss that Skull Merchant is getting reworked and how it is necessary (including myself), and Ive had a few people point out that "you say they should be re-designed, but how exactly would you re-design them?" which is a completely fair argument to make. So here is the certified "Iron" rework for…
-
How Is Vecna Now?
Back when Vecna released they were really, really good and they got some nerfs since some aspects of their power were overtuned and resulted in hits that felt unfair to most Survivors. When the nerf happened, people were saying how "this nerf will kill Vecna" and how "they will be bottom tier garbage now." Nowadays, I do…

The Perfect Opportunity For BHVR To Do A Collaboration With Warframe
In Warframe, we are REALLY, REALLY close to getting Warframe: 1999 (this is a major content update), which is Digital Extremes (the developers) attempt to modernize their original game "Dark Sector" to fit more into the Warframe lore and bridge the gap between many major story beats in the game. One of the main factions in…

Idea That Came To Me In A Dream That Seemed Really Cool
Predator is a really underwhelming perk, and recently I had a dream and it gave me a really cool idea on how to buff it. Old Effect: Scratchmarks left behind by Survivors spawn closer together. New Effect: Scratchmarks left behind by Survivors glow brighter and spawn closer together in a more continuous trail. Particles…
