Cross Progression Survey Question
A very interesting question in the survey may shed light on why Cross Progression is taking so long. I don't have a screenshot but the question was basically: "Would you be open to Cross Progression if you could only carry over characters you bought ingame, rather than through DLC" It seems that character unlocks through…

Is it normal for SM's drone to not rotate?
I don't know if it's an addon or something but just had a game vs a Skull Merchant and her drones never rotated. The lines were visable but yeah it just stayed still.
-
Has the game gotten too fast?
I mentioned this in another thread but the pace of the game is just way too fast thesedays. Both sides need to go into the game full speed and only make the most efficient plays if they wanna have a chance at winning. That means gunrushing vs tunneling, second chance perks and genspeed perks vs gen slowdown perks, it's…
-
Just kinda sucks when you have no chance to win
This can happen to both sides but I just had a game as solo survivor against a decent Blight and there was really just no chance to win. Literally no matter what I did or how well I played he was gonna get a 3k at the very least. It was a lost game the moment we loaded in, and at that point like... what's the point? I have…

Just had both basements spawn on Lery's
Don't know if this is a change I never noticed or a bug.

Survivor-Caused 3-Gens. No Big Deal Anymore?
The proposed '3-gen solution' seems like it should genuinely nerf 3-genning killers while leaving 'normal' killers unaffected, but what about 3-gens caused by the survivors? It seems like if survivors 3-gen themselves, it's no big deal anymore since they can just play it slow and defensive and burn through the killer's…
-
Please stop putting me against way better survivors.
I literally can't play Plague or Pig because I ALWAYS get put against far better players when I wanna play them. I thought MMR between killers was supposed to be at least close to each other but it seems my MMR on both killers is way higher because I always end up against people I simply can't beat. I'm lucky to even get a…
-
Ways to make Corrupt Intervention not needed?
Once you get past a certain point with your MMR it feels like every single killer runs Corrupt, and I can certainly see why many might feel it's basically required. Survivors (usually) spawn far from the killer and close to gens, so to stop all 4 survivors insta-hopping onto gens while the killer spends time crossing the…
-
Would 5sec Decisive Strike really help with tunneling?
I'll preface this by saying I fully support buffing DS back to a 5sec stun. Following on from a mini-discussion in my other recent thread, I wonder if buffing DS back to 5 seconds would actually reduce tunneling that much. I don't think anyone is saying it would 'fix' tunneling, many killers would simply eat the DS as they…

Been trying to have snowball fights with killers...
... but they just kill me at 5 gens :(
-
Its the first day of the event...
..and gens are going even faster than normal. :( I'm trying to actually enjoy the event and get my challenges done and I'm getting matched with survivors who are way better than me in chase and who complete gens super fast. Kinda spoiled by night.
-
Antiloop or Slowdown?
For killers to do be effective, they basically need to either be good in chase, which usually means having some form of antiloop, or they need to have some kind of built-in slowdown, usually in the form of a secondary objective. With all the complaints about 'unfun killers', I'm curious what survivors like in their…
-
Are most games a stomp one way or the other?
I'm curious what other people's experiences are with how their games go. In my experience I would guess that like 80% of my games are a heavy stomp either for the killer or for the survivors, with very few actual 'close' games. I'm not talking 4 man SWFs or Nurses on Midwich, I just mean the skill level of both sides seems…

Do people really want greater killer diversity?
I see quite a few different killers commonly referred to as 'boring to go against' and I wonder if people really do want more diversity in the killers they see in games. People complain about so many Nurses, Blights and Weskers but when other killers are buffed or even just talked about in general, people complain about…
-
Just feeling really pathetic right now :(
Over 3000 hours in this game and still have games where I barely get 1 hook in the endgame. Seriously just gives me the worst feeling I've ever had in video games. Doesn't matter what map I'm on or what perks I bring or what killer I play, I still have games where I just can't do anything against the survivors, and it…
-
Why is Self-Care still so popular?
Looking at the most recent statistics it appears that Self-Care is the 6th most popular survivor perk with a 15% pick rate across all survivors. Why is this? It's widely considered a terrible perk that encourages survivors to play worse and waste time when they could be doing gens or just looking for other survivors to…
-
What's the point of the Kill Switch?
If it's so random when they use it. Something game breaking appears in DBD and they flip a coin for if they actually kill switch it.
-
Another matchmaking rant
For the last couple days I've just had game after miserable game. I generally prefer playing m1 killers but lately it's just been survivors going from pallet to pallet, not even looping, just dropping them when I get there and going to the next pallet. And by the time they've exhausted every pallet the other three…
-
So it's alright for killers to DC too, right?
A popular opinion on these forums is that if someone isn't having fun for any reason, they should be able to DC from the game and that's fine. After all, you can't force someone to play if they don't want to. I'm just curious if those who feel this way also agree that's it's fine for the killer to DC the moment they're not…
-
The Problem with Sloppy
I'll preface this by saying that I don't think Sloppy Butcher's effect is OP. I do think its strong but I don't think it's too strong. The issue with Sloppy is that it's too easy to apply Mangled and Hemo with it. On most killers it gives you such easy access to having both status effects on survivors for most of the game…
-
The Problem with Singularity
It's not been all that long since Hux's release and I already barely ever see him. It seems even after his more recent buff, people just aren't willing to give him another go, and I think I know why. Personally I think that overall Singularity is reasonably-strong, and with the most recent nerfs to EMPs he's able to…
-
Killer changing tactics when the game's going poorly
I never get why survivors are so shocked when the killer decides to start camping or tunneling when they're doing badly. I just had a game where I only got my second hook after 4 gens had popped, like, of course I'm not going to continue 'playing normally' after that point, because I -need- to change it up if I'm gonna get…
-
Was Singularity programmed to harm the crew?
Sorry I'm still confused about this bit of lore.
-
BHVR gonna do anything about gen rush?
By 'gen rush' I mean survivors simply focusing efficiently on gens, because that's all it takes. Good toolboxes and certain perks can help shave time off but really all it takes for gens to fly are 4 survivors who actually sit and do gens at every opportunity. I understand that balancing gen time is impossible, because the…
-
Hide all game for masks?
So if someone finds an invitation, then just hides and waits for hatch, they get the mask? Doesn't seem very well thought out.
-
Already no one is playing Singularity
Knight and I'd argue even SM had more people playing them right after their release, but considering he JUST came out, there's so few people playing Hux. It seems his high skill floor combined with just not being that good has put a lot of people off him.
-
First game as Singularity...
... 2 p100 survivors. Matchmaking working great as always.
-
What are you supposed to do if all the survs are great loopers?
What is the killer supposed to do if all 4 survivors are just way better at looping than they are? I have games where it takes me ages to get a down, gotta wait till bloodlust 2 or 3 before I can eventually get one. Clearly I can't just go for chases and play normally because there's not enough time for that, so I usually…
-
So hook suicides weren't addressed
It's good BHVR is making it so DCers will be replaced by bots but many people kill themselves on hook instead to avoid the DC penalty and that's not being changed at all. Please just remove the unhook attempt if you aren't running Deliverance, please. (Also rework Slippery Meat, Up the Ante and Luck offerings)
-
Should we have gen speed/slowdown perks?
Generators are essentially the 'timer' of DBD. The killer needs to try and get their objective done before the survivors complete all the gens and leave, and the survivors need to try and complete all the gens and leave before the killer kills them. Yes there's the endgame section but the majority of the game is completing…
-
Tunneling and Gen Rushing are the same thing.
Basically reiterating what I posted in another thread, but so many people don't seem to realise that these two things are basically the same. They're the most efficient way of playing the game and they maximise your chance of winning. They're also incredibly unfun for the other side, but I wouldn't necessarily say someone…
-
What if hook states lowered gen repair speed?
An idea I've had for a while to try and make spreading out hooks more rewarding for killers. Basically a survivor repairs gens slower the more hook states they have. Maybe 20% slower repair speed for one hook state and 40% slower for two hook states. This would at least give the killer -some- kinda reason to not just…
-
VS Nurse in Midwich
Is there any point in even trying as solo survivor?
-
Just got out of a 45 min SM game...
And the survivors just gave up? I was patrolling my 3-gen for like the 50th time and they just weren't doing them. Please can the devs address this behaviour and force the survivors to ACTUALLY play the game, thanks. 💅
-
Pain Res encouraged chases though
Just find it a bit odd that they're nerfing a perk that forced the killer to actually chase survivors and get downs in order to get value. People complained quite rightly about gen-kicking perks having no requirements and encouraging just guarding gens but a perk that's the complete opposite was also heavily nerfed. Just…

Ultimate Edition on Steam
So a friend recently bought the game and wondered if he should get the Ultimate Edition on Steam. I was looking through what it included to see if it was worth it and there's so much it -doesn't- have, even though the price is pretty hefty, even on a 50% sale. It doesn't include any licenced DLC. This one I at least…
-
What -is- an m1 killer?
I merely ask because different people have slightly different ideas about what an m1 killer is. At it's most basic, the definition would be 'A killer who can only injure/down survivors with their m1' so basically their power doesn't deal damage, but under this definition: Nurse, Blight and Spirit are all m1 killers Trapper…

4 Blink Nurse
Who thought this is what Nurse needed? :p

Killer Mystery Boxes
Why do killers get festive mystery boxes in the bloodweb if they can only contain Red Envelopes? Unless I'm missing something.

What more can they do about Tunneling?
I've asked this in a few threads but I'm genuinely curious: What more can BHVR do to combat tunneling in DBD? We already have 10 seconds of Endurance and 10% Haste as basekit whenever anyone is unhooked, which is usually going to be enough for the survivor to get to a loop and waste more of the killer's time if they decide…
-
Bodyblocking with basekit BT
If you do this, then you can't complain when the killer tunnels you. I've have numerous survivors do this, then when I tunnel them they DC or complain in endgame chat. If the killer is hitting through your endurance, they then may as well tunnel you.
-
Nurse changes
Finally got the nurse nerf we deserved <3
-
Rookie Spirit any good?
I feel like if Rookie Spirit was ever gonna be good, it'd be right now. We're in a gen-regression meta where you want to be tapping gens as quickly as possible to stop Call of Brine and Overcharge from doing too much damage, but even with those perks being as meta as they are, it seems like Rookie Spirit is still garbage.…
-
A Fast Death achievement.
It isn't worded very clearly, does the killer need the haste buff, or does the survivor you hit need the haste buff?
-
Reverse Bear Traps.
I want to preface this by saying I'm in no way saying Pig is an OP killer. Im not even saying she's a strong killer. My issue is that Pig's traps can put you in an unwinnable situation as solo-survivor and it just kinda feels kinda crappy. I was playing against a Pig on Sanctum of Wrath and she had the usual Tampered…
-
Survivors Saboing to troll killers :(
Just had a game where survivors were following me around and saboing every time I downed someone so I couldn't hook and get energy. Then they have the gall to complain in endgame chat that I was slugging I had mostly good games when playing survivor but first game as killer and I get survivors literally stopping the killer…
-
Yet Another MMR Complaint
Whenever I've been playing certain killers, particularly Pig, the game just keeps putting me against teams that are far above my skill level. These are games where I need to facecamp just to get 1 kill at endgame. It's gotten so bad I've literally just had to go afk most games now so my MMR goes down, and that's not fun…
