Getting item-teched by toxic bots
Platform: PC (using a controller) Description of the problem: When I unhook a bot, they drop their empty med-kit just as I am about to heal them. Because the heal button is the same as the pickup button, instead of healing them I swap my full double-heal Ranger med-kit for their empty brown one and they procede to heal…

I hope Nicolas Cage is the last celebrity we get
The addition of Nicolas Cage was amazing. But we were lucky. I don't have a problem with Nicki Minaj, but I think we are very lucky we got somebody as iconic as Cage and Call of Duty had to settle for Minaj. But I'm sure many of us just really dislike certain celebrities and would hate to see them in the game. Some…

Skilled Huntress was the worst DBD Trophy ever
The requirements for this trophy was to down 100 survivors from over 24 metres with the Huntress using a controller That's DOWN, not hit On a controller You can't even stand on a hill and wait for the unhook now that BT is basekit Iri head was nerfed That's 100 times on Playstation, not 20 like it is for easy-mode mouse…

Do I need to worry about Boil Over even more?
I adorn my hooks with the brightest trinkets the rift offers me, and yet I somehow always manage to miss the hook right next to the Kate I just downed. Now I hear the PTB is making the wiggle mechanics add extra sway to the killer. This could be a nightmare for anyone using a controller. I doubt enough people played the…

Current Bloodweb progress reset for every character
PC & PS5 I had all bloodwebs set to 1 selection away from the getting to the next bloodweb on all survivors and all killers on PC AND PS5. I did this so that I could prestige in 1 choice. All selections on every bloodweb disappeared after the patch. That was quite a lot of bloodpoints since I have this on two systems! I…

How does the matchmaking incentive know which killer I will play?
The dev update says that the incentives are based on our matchmaking ratings so one person might get a different incentice to another. But my killers are vastly different to eachother. The MMR might say, "hey you are quite bad at Dredge, and we need some bad killers right now." But then what if I play Nurse? Who I am…

SBMM is now working correctly for new players!
Not so long back, I installed DBD on PC after years of playing on Playstation. It was quite clear that if I was actually a new player, I would be getting a rough time. Over the last couple of weeks I have been helping a brand new player and watching them play. Almost every game has been appropriately matched (killer and…

Cannot nod while crouching
I think this might have been around a while but I didn't even know that I can no longer nod while crouching. I looked at my SWF teammates screen while I was crouch nodding and I was just sat there looking like a fool. Surely this must be a bug? Platform: PC/PS5

Family Residence Hook shortage?
I have had two games on this map where survivors ran towards the corners either side of the main building. I was unable to hook them and needed to keep them slugged. Boil Over was not in use Basement was in the main building both times There was no breakable walls in my way No hook distance offerings were played The…

Would a dev live stream counters to CoH/Boil Over?
As it is now, we haven't really convinced the devs that Circle of Healing is particularly powerful. We did get a minor nerf, but I am not sure the devs have played against the types of teams that killer main complain about. Would the devs be willing to live stream custom matches against a team of some of us? I don't mean…
-
Why are you not using the killswitch?
Were we not promised that the killswitch could be used if something was broken or abusable? People have been complaining about RPD library griefing even before Boil over was buffed. Why has the RPD offering not been disabled? Why has Boil Over not being disabled? Boil Over has been "monitored" for nearly a week now. Surely…

Flashlights in Tutorial Bot matches
If someone wanted to practice flashlight saves they would need at least two other players willing to have a custom game and it would be quite boring for them. Would it be a good idea to allow players to choose items to bring into the tutorial to help with the learning process?
-
What does the AFK Challenge say about the balance?
I see that a lot of streamers are playing a killer challenge where they use no addons or perks, stay AFK for 30 seconds and then play as sweaty as they can. Most of the results I have seen are way above 2K average kills. I'm really not sure what to make of these results. More importantly, I'm not sure what the devs will…
-
Did matchmaking just change?
This might be my imagination but matchmaking has suddenly and drastically just changed for me and I don't know why. (i.e. in the last couple of days). I've been playing as a filthy survivor recently and had been enjoying a comfortable average of escaping every two matches or so. Yesterday I couldn't escape a single match.…

Bye Bye Steam Players!
In the limited time we have had cross-play enabled, you have shown to be some of the best players out there and I have learned a lot from you. I wish you the very best, and should you ever decide to buy a PS5/XBox and pop it under your TV, I'm sure the rest of the community will welcome you back to Dead By Daylight with…
-
Should charms be abandoned?
When they first came out I added some of the interesting ones to my hooks. But now I rarely change them, barely notice them on other killers' hooks and I can't even see them on survivors. Should the devs stop designing new charms and focus their artistic efforts elsewhere?
-
What Boon totems should we have?
They are coming but they don't need to break the game. What what you bring in as Boon totems? Here are mine: Boon: Bloodhunt - Double bloodpoints for everyone (including the killer). The killer will not know the nature of the totem until it is cleansed. Boon: Un-Undying - Disables one Hex perk chosen at random until…

Everyone in the lobby is wearing my cosmetics
Platform: PS5 Description: When a lobby is formed everyone in it is wearing the cosmetics I have equipped on that character. In the game, they are wearing completely different cosmetics. How often does this occur: Every time a lobby is formed Buy your own clothes Dwight! I spent good money on those!
-
Shouldn't other people's grades be hidden?
People keep quoting the grades of their opponents as if indicates bad matchmaking. As grades only represent each player's progress through the month, it is confusing to those that do not understand the system. If you hide grades, people will only have their experience during their game and their scoresheet to judge the…

Can we keep the Hawkins Rat Hooks?
The hooks are the coolest hooks in the game and I am going to miss the rats. Some of whom I have befriended. It will be sad for them to be homeless. The hooks weren't in Stranger Things and neither were the rats so they shouldn't be subject to copyright. Perhaps they could replace the ones in Gideon with the random time…

Daily Quests getting deleted
Format: PS5 Monday: I had three dailies. I finished two and left one remaining (get 4 survivors into the dream state with Freddy) Tuesday: Didn't play because the patch notes made me sad. Should have been given a second daily. Wednesday: Thought I had better do my dailies as I should now have three. Logged on and my Freddy…

I can swap daily rituals as many times as I want
Format: PS5 Prerequisites: I believe you need to end the day in a position where you have a single daily that you have already recycled. How to infinitely recycle: The next day, when you load into the game, you will see yesterdays recycled ritual plus todays new one, Recycle yesterdays ritual. If you don't like it, press…

Flashing/flickering screen on PS5 and PS4
Platform: PS5 (and PS4) Description: Screen keeps flashing on all maps (although I never noticed it on The Game map). It seems worse on open maps. Only stated happening from the Resident Evil patch. Steps to reproduce: Play any open map as survivor or killer. Alternatively, look for any Twitch streamers that are playing on…

Now is a perfect time to switch on MMR!
With the rank reset bug, everyone is rank 20. Unfortunately real rank 20 killers are going to have a rough time against all the flashlight-clicking, former red rank comms teams. Not to mention the four default console Dwight solo players who suddenly have to face a former rank 1 PC Nurse main. So why not switch MMR on? It…
-
Anyone find MMR killer matches the hardest ever?
I'm trying to figure our exactly WHY my matches were so much harder than non-MMR matches. I played about 20 Demogorgon games and 20 Pyramid Head games. Neither of which I play particularly often. But nearly every game resulted in very difficult games against not even red rank survivors but all of which were way above my…

Adept Killer not unlocking
PS5 Play as a killer, fulfil the requirements for Merciless Victory to show up at the end screen using only the killers own perks. Merciless Victory does show up at the end but the trophy is not awarded. Despite the game telling me it was a merciless victory, and despite getting nine or more hook actions, the devout emblem…

Will Elodie receive the thong cosmetics?
So a lot of people didn't like the upcoming "Freestyle Claudette" skin. Some because of the thong, some because it didn't seem to fit Claudette's character. Then people objected to it being changed from the designers vision. Then the release was delayed. Is anyone else thinking the same thing as me? Claudette went to the…
-
Who would YOU add to the balance team?
People have speculated that there are only two members of the balance team. If so it might be beneficial to increase this number. Many people complain that the killers are too weak, or too strong. SWF are overpowered, solos are under-powered not to mention balance between killers themselves, perks and addons. If you could…
-
A "Leave Match" button comment box
If the leave match button had a comments box where you could explain WHY you left: Would players tell the truth? Would the devs be able to/want to use the comments to improve the game? If they did this, it would need to recognise ALT-F4s, hard resets and cable pulls as the same and bring up the box on next login.

Can we have a legacy Quentin skin called Kyle?
Quentin's goblin face cannot be easily reworked because his likeness is tied to the Nightmare on Elm Street license. However, Quentin COULD have a legacy skin which wouldn't need to be tied to the license. Call it Kyle instead of Quentin and it seems like an easy way to grant Kyle Gallner's wish to put his likeness in…

The new survey gives me hope!
A long time ago we were promised that performance would be addresed. It sort of was, a bit. But now with the latest patch, Playstation 4 Pros ablaze, XBoxes shutting down and even Steam players frustrated at only getting 59fps the devs really do look like they are trying to improve the performance. Maybe I am getting my…
-
Can we buff "Ultra" settings?
Dead by Daylight looks better on Ultra graphics settings, but it is a hinderance to gameplay and most people advise using Low detail instead. Since BHVR effecively get free advertising by YouTubers and Twitch streamers, is it time for the devs to encourage players to switch the the higher detail settings so that potential…
-
Where are all the Nurses?
Apparently console players would be matched against terrifying mouse and keyboard Nurses if cross-play was ever released. I have encounted only one Nurse. One that was clearly just trying to do a daily. And was a console Nurse. Who had one perk. At level 1. How are we supposed to ever learn to beat her if you PC players…

The lack of an "other system" icon is a useful SWF detector
With several systems in the mix due to cross-play, most of my lobbies have a mix of occasional "my system" players and mostly "other system" players. When I play killer and NONE of the survivors have the icon, I know that they are all on PS4. And wouldn't you know it, they pretty much play like typical SWFs! What a…
-
Same map twice in a row?
Is this my imagination or has the chances of getting the same map in successive matches increased recently? It is never something I noticed before but recently it just keeps happening: Haddonfield, Haddonfield, The Game, The Game etc. It doesn't happen every time, it just seems significantly more often than it used to.
-
I want "toxic" bots
If we are going to get bots in the game to take over from those that DC, it would be fantastic for them to take on the "personality" of the player before they left the game. If they were flashlight-clicking and teabagging before they rage quit, then they should continue to do so. It would help make it less obvious that…

No Cross-Progression on other platforms
It was quite exciting to see the "Breaking Barriers with Cross-Play and Cross-Progression" news article but my heart sank when I read the following: "As of today, we cannot make Cross-Progression available on other platforms and we have no guarantee that it will happen. However, we know that this is a community wish, and…

It's the 12th of the month - DC day!
It's great fun playing on the 12th, many more people DC for no reason or suicide on their first hook. I don't even have to tunnel or camp! Everybody is trying to drop to rank 5 before tomorrow. This never used to happen with the old rank reset. I'm not sure what improvements they think they are getting from the current…

I will miss the old Leatherface
I like playing current Leatherface. He will be a buff to many, but to me he will be a nerf. Survivors are going to bring their A game now that he won't be #########. I have been enjoying better results without my P3 outfit at rank reset to give me a couple of free hooks because they think I am a newbie. Does anyone think…

Standing Stones don't say Aaaaaaah any more
Platform: PS4 Description: On the Sanctum of Wrath map, when you go near the standing stones (the ones that look at you) they are silent. Before the patch they had a "vocal" sound effect when you got near them. Steps to reproduce: Play on the Sanctum of Wrath map. How often does this occur: Every time I get the map. Why…

Dual Shock Controller touchpad not changing Y Axis
Platform: PS4 Description: Pressing the large touchpad button on the Dual Shock controller should swap the up/down camera controls between inverted and not inverted. This no longer works. Steps to reproduce: Press the touchpad, look up and down. How often does this occur: It never works now.
-
Will those that chose not to prestige now be punished?
It was always the sensible choice not to prestige. If you weren't planning on wearing the bloody cosmetics, the tiny chances of getting better things in the bloodweb were far outweighed by the cost of the points that got you there. Now prestige rewards are coming, If your non-prestiged characters are only a few levels…
-
What was your favourite nerf?
The nerf that I liked the most was when the devs accidently broke the killer's chase music and you could hear survivors running into bushes to hide. But since that was temporary and actually a bug, my favourite nerf was when they lightened Claudette's clothing so she couldn't hide in plain sight as easily. I'd be really…

Endgame vs Ghostface
If I'm against Ghosty and I am the last survivor I need to either find the hatch or open a gate without accidentally looking at him. If I look out for him I will give my position away. If I don't look out for him, I will get stalked and be a one hit down and I cannot listen out for him as he will be in Stealth mode. Any…

Which rank reset do you prefer?
Rank reset might have been reverted to the classic rank reset this month. It might just be bugged. Do you prefer it this way, or do you want them to go back to how it was last month?
-
Should we report Hook-tech?
Is this "Abusing bugs or errors in design to gain a competitive advantage?" The "counter" of face-camping doesn't work as survivors never sit there long enough for the hooked person to hit struggle, meanwhile two survivors can get half a gen done each.
-
Are Canadian survivors to blame?
I jumped on one of @Peanits streams recently. To be honest I was hoping I might catch some insider information when his guard was down. (I didn't). Peanits played really well, he is a knowledgable and entertaining rank 1 killer who understands how to pressure gens and when to drop chases. He is very comfortable beating red…

Rank 13 easy, rank 12 hard
I was watching another player on the cusp of green ranks and I noticed something very interesting. When they were at rank 13, the games were balanced with similar ranks and the player easily won and ranked up to 12 When they were rank 12, the games were mostly against all red rank survivors with a couple of rank 5s and 6s…
