Anyone else kinda dreading the upcoming tome a bit?
I'm always excited for new tomes, because I love collecting outfits and the feeling of making progress on something with every game. A new rift is always a breath of fresh life to DBD for me. ...But there's always a huge influx of people playing the tome characters. And I'm gonna be real, even 'fixed' Skull Merchant is a…

Can I just point out how bad the proposed new mori offerings are?
It's a bit overshadowed by everything else wrong with the announcement, but I feel it still needs to be said. Moris are now turning into personal bloodpoint offerings - you get 8k/12k/20k bloodpoints for getting 2/3/4 kills and a finisher mori. To begin with, nobody needed more personal bloodpoint offerings, period. All…

Feng Min's "cosplays"...
Okay, Feng getting another licensed character's new outfit once was funny, but at this point it's getting a little sad. We know she's a cash cow, BHVR, you don't gotta be so obvious about it. I'm thrilled about getting Princess Heart for Cheryl, and her first outfit in two years is some good food for Silent Hill fans, but…

I can't get over how good this Artist outfit is
Both Aspriin and the art team knocked this one out of the park. The detail on it is so good - the crow skulls on her crown, the double seraph wings, the ink-stained feathers. It might be the single coolest outfit in the game. The set is amazing on its own, but also consider: I can't wait for more Artist cosmetics just to…

Please change the lights in Haddonfield - potential epilepsy issue
I don't know when this started, because I don't think it's been like this since the map rework, but maybe I only noticed it recently. There's a flickering bulb in the House of Pain gen room and the effect on the room's lighting is extreme. I'll put a link to a clip here. Behaviour: "We had to remove flashlight clicking to…

Can we get better distribution of event items?
Title. Earlier this year, we made a big improvement to event bloodwebs by guaranteeing level 50 bloodwebs would have at least one of each event item in them. It was really great and expedited the whole experience of collecting event stuff massively, especially on survivors who always have more unique items to gather. Issue…

Bloody Party Streamers not working
Title. I've used a couple of them during the event and they don't appear to give bonus bloodpoints, at least not to myself. At least one other user has reported the same thing. The streamers were not returned to my inventory. Survivor Puddings appear to be working fine. It would be nice to know if the same applies to…

Any fun event experiences?
Seeing a lot of the usual threads complaining about camping and tunneling during events, so I thought I'd shake things up. Anyone got any fun stories to share about the new event mechanics, or players doing wacky things? Had two silly things occur today. One game, I'd just hooked a Dwight and went to the nearest rift to…
-
Major archives improvement?
I was just doing a challenge to sacrifice 4 survivors. I kill 2, but one DCs halfway through the game - not while downed or in chase or anything, but probably a random internet crash. I let the last guy go because he looked like he wanted the Left For Dead challenge and it's not like I was getting this done in one game…

Something cool I noticed in this rift
For a long time, people have complained about the charms for each featured character in the rift - they'd have a symbol that often only loosely referenced the survivor/killer, and it was just the same charm on four different backgrounds. They were pretty unambiguously clutter. Now they're different! Mikaela's series has…

Wesker stuck in place after survivor DCs mid-slam
I've got a Claire running in circles in front of me at the time of typing this. Had a Mikaela disconnect when I was in the middle of picking her up after a slam (as in, I didn't pick up the downed Mikaela manually, but the slam automatically transferred her into my grip and it was during that animation where she quit.) My…

I had a nasty thought (FOMO and recent decisions)
So a few weeks back, they announced that all non-licensed cosmetics are eventually going to become available with shards. Everyone cheers, give or take a few saltlords that don't want anyone to own things for free that they had to pay for. Consensus is that this is a great step forward and a pretty generous move from BHVR.…

Why you gotta do moris this dirty?
We can only mori one survivor now? And only at the very end of the trial? Then we need a collective F in chat for the absolute best part of moris, which was other survivors photobombing them. Seriously, moris were the most fun part about Devour Hope and Rancor. Why on earth would you remove that part? What purpose does…
-
A small buff to Head On?
Just pulled off one of those one-in-a-million locker saves on pure dumb luck, and it got me thinking. It'd be nice if once you were in a locker for 3 seconds and Head On activated, the aura of the locker you're in was displayed to all other survivors so that it's easier for survivors to coordinate plays. It's not really…
-
Blast Mine is still pretty bad
I appreciate that they buffed Blast Mine, but it's still much weaker than it was before, and it was never a strong perk to begin with. It is still not worth running. 45s on a gen is a massive ask for a one-time use that doesn't replenish if it sees no value, considering all of these things: -If you place it too early when…
-
All non-licensed store outfits are going to be buyable with iridescent shards!
Woohoo! This is a pretty great step - essentially it's BHVR ungating previously paid content so that you can now purchase it for free. This will be really noticeable on certain characters who had a lot of paid outfits - Feng and Kate come to mind. For some examples, Minotaur Oni, Pink Bunny Feng, and Doll Dredge are now…
-
Is Trickster actually heavily played?
I ask because in a year and a half of being in the game, he's received six new outfits, three this year alone, plus a guaranteed spot in either of the upcoming winter outfit sets. Compare that to Blight, one of the most played killers, who's gotten four new outfits since he dropped. Or Huntress, who's had two new…

Hoarder is actually a decent information perk on Wesker and Nemesis
I put on this perk for a meme build and was surprised when I actually got consistent value out of it. I didn't expect it to work with the supply cases their powers spawn, but it does, and that's in addition to survivors having to drop their items to pick up the cures and then pick up the first item again. In every game…

Is it just me, or are matchmaking incentives really unreliable?
And I don't mean it like they're not always there or on the side I want them to be. I mean I'll start a match with 100% survivor bloodpoint bonus, I'll end the game and the next lobby still shows it at 100% survivor bloodpoint bonus, but I don't get any bonus bloodpoints from the match. This happens to me pretty often.…
-
Can we take a look at Eruption?
So this perk's pretty much wholesale replaced PGTW, and quite frankly I preferred dealing with Pop. There's two issues I have with this perk. One - by nature of the way it works, Eruption is better against solos than SWF. SWF can call out when they're about to go down and have their teammates release gens at just the right…

Showing people's prestiges in lobby is a mistake
In each match I've played today, I've had a newbie teammate, something which was evident during the game. One of them didn't even have perks. More than that, I've been able to identify they're new before the game even starts because they're playing a default character at prestige 0. If I roll a whole lobby that looks like…
-
What the actual heck are these perk changes this update
Seriously, I'm getting more and more baffled the more I read. -Mettle of Man went from an extremely situational perk that gave a good reward if you did a lot of throwing earlier in the match, to taking slightly less effort for a much less useful reward - one that doesn't stack with other endurance effects, can be bypassed…
-
I tried to like this patch, but I can't deal with this anymore
Look... I consider myself pretty even-keel. I avoid sensationalism and claims of DBD's imminent death, or the assurances that players are quitting a role in droves. Even now, I don't think DBD is in danger so much as it's... in a messed-up spot that needs to be addressed. And I've held that killers have needed buffs for a…

Orange glyphs are very unpleasant
Playing an entire game with a visual distortion and constant white noise is deeply obnoxious. I went in thinking the debuff would be a status effect like it is on blue glyphs, and even when my expectations were something like game-long blindness or a slight speed penalty... somehow this was worse. It's not even hard, it's…
-
What did they just do to the shop?
Noticed this when I went to check out the new Dredge outfit. Previously, trying out a single cosmetic piece would preview it on the outfit your character is currently wearing, but with that selected category changed to the piece you were checking out. Now it shows that one piece on the character's default outfit, which is…
-
Can we have a better way to sort charms?
I'm at 16 and 14 pages now on survivor/killer respectively, and I only have a fraction of the perk charms available. Trying to find the charms I want is increasingly becoming a hassle, and it's getting worse with every rift. Currently, you can sort by rarity (in alphabetical order) or by raw alphabetical order. This is not…

The Attack on Titan DBD theme slaps
No real discussion, just haven't seen anyone talking about it and want to proclaim my love for the current menu music. They did a frankly genius job threading the DBD motif in what still sounds like an anime opener. DBD's composers deserve a pat on the back and a round of drinks. And I don't follow AoT at all, but it's…

How many flans did you guys get?
Realized I never saw any topics like this; we were all too busy discussing the PTB when the event ended. How was everyone's anniversary haul? I got about 1.5k flans overall. 394 on survivor, 1208 on killer. Plague was my main hoarder. Threw away about 50 flans P3ing Bubba and Legion (more fool me, now they get awkward…
-
Just did the new survey, and...
...while I was happy to give feedback about the event, the Garden of Joy, etc, there was something I saw in there that I cannot possibly express all of my Nope about. Limited-time licensed cosmetics. As in, say, a Pyramid Head outfit goes in the store for a few weeks and then leaves forever. I thought we were moving away…
-
Anyone else think survivor bloodwebs are better this year?
They're still inferior to killer bloodwebs in the amount of BP offerings, for sure, but I've already gotten more flans on my main survivor than I did for the entirety of last year. My not-level-50 characters have gone from getting a cake once every 5 webs to once every 2, and my level 50s always have at least one cake.…

They took Maurice!
So we've all seen a certain steed's head flop out of the Dredge's smoke, if you watch its idle animations. I didn't think too much of it at the time beyond "no, Maurice!", but all things in the Fog are beyond the reach of death... or so I thought. Well, I just had a match on the Chapel, and I did a few circuits around the…

(Spoilers) I don't understand why the Artist is a killer
I love tragic characters, and Carmina's lore is a real hit for me, but I'm not quite making the leap for why she's killing people in the Entity's realm. I get that grief and guilt are her driving motivators, and the events she suffered towards the end of her lore are heavy contributors towards a total breakdown that might…

Hook stages are bugged - players dying instantly on 'second hook'
Since the patch dropped, hooks don't seem to be functioning properly. I can't speak for the second stage self-unhook bug anymore, but players' hook stages are not being marked when they progress to second stage via being left on hook or failing to struggle free, which leads to survivors appearing to be instantly sacrificed…
