Cheaters and Publicity: What Can We Do?
This comes after not receiving a response from a mod after asking for their advice on this matter, so I thought I should throw this out into the community. On various social medias, there are people who clearly advertise they are cheating (using wall hacks, speed hacks, etc.). I don't believe the platforms they use have…

Stun Duration
Just a small question: When I get stunned by a pallet drop, I've noted in some trials the stun duration is slightly longer than others. I'm currently playing Hag on Xbox X/S. I am not using any perks which would do this to me, but I can't think of whether there's a Survivor perk which does this now. Is this a cheat or…

Competition Idea
So, we've just had a cosmetics competition, with some crazy and fantastical designs. There are some extremely talented, creative and dedicated creators out there, and maybe this could be taken for the next level: What I'd like to suggest is a "Visceral" competition! A design for Killer and Survivor. For Killer, entrants…

10 Buffs to weak Killer Perks
Just some ideas - with reasoning - for 10 of the weakrr Killer perks to make them more unique, offer something fresh, or simple makes them a bit more worth considering: 1. Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick At the start of a trial, 4 random hooks are converted to Scourge Hooks. These hooks cannot be sabotaged. If any attempt to…

New Modifier Idea
This may not be the most practical of ideas, consodering the effort needed for new chapters, but what would happen if there was a modifier that brought in a new Killer which was much different from the others, and maybe have the trial be a quicker one with fewer gens and such, yet have the Killer more powerful? As an…

Chase Not Triggering
Platform: Xbox X/S Description: When playing as killer, it appears the chase starts arbitrarily. Sometimes the chase will not start until I have hit the survivor, having chased them already. The chase music won't start and Bloodlust does not start when it ought. Steps to Reproduce: Start chasing a survivor. The three maps…

Will the hotfix be out today?
See the title. The gen bug is a big deal regarding the trials, so will this be getting resolved?

Pyramid Head Pallet Smash Animation
Could The Executioner have the animation of breaking a pallet or wall with his Great Knife be a possibility? It's not exactly a priority sure, but it would feel a lot more authentic of the character and just generally look cooler than doing the stomp-minihop-stomp animation.

Twins Idea: Fleeting Thoughts
I was just thinking about a Twins rework. This is faorly rough, but these were the things I was thinking about: The main changes were to a) remove the slugging issue, b) make the Twins fun to play as and against, c) offer a new ability of some sort. Ultimately, I admit there's some influence from a mix of other killers,…
-
Bot Priorities
I did find this funny at the time, even though it was equally a frustrating thing to witness. Could bots perhaps focus more on healing others than waiting for the right time to interract with something less pressing? I was in the dying state and the Cenbite had gone to chase a nearby survivor. I recovered as much as I…

It's Not All Doom and Gloom
There are often posts which are vents about bad experiences or toxic endgame chat. I'd just like to flip the coin and show the other end. These screenshots are from a trial when I faced a 3-person SWF as Trapper. It was a tough trial and they always had the upper hand. A fortunately-placed basement helped me secure a 1K at…

Strange Flashlight Bug
Saw this on Reddit, and just wanted to query what caused this to happen? https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/s/gSOUCbFmf3

Is this a Good Idea?
Just saw this in the patch notes and I'm not sure if it's a good thing, no matter what the stipulations are. This feels like a step back, plus also goes against what they want to do with Mori's:

New Map Infinite Discovered
I swear in this video I couldn't get near 'em!

Map Repeat Issue
I'm on Xbox X/S in the UK.I've now had 5 games in a row whoch have all been on Raccoon City East Wing. From another post in the General forums, it appears I'm not the only one. There were no map offerings in any of these trials. From what I understand, maps should not be repeated, so for the same to appear 5 times in a row…

Positive vs. Neutral vs. Negative Experience
Often in DBD we get varying takes on people's perceptions of the game. Some will state how every other game has toxicity, or some form of bad manners within the game. I didn't share this experience, but likewise I never thought to really note and record what my experiences were. So, for the past few months I've documented…

Meme Perk Suggestion.
I think I've suggested this before, but I'd just like to push for this idea again for a meme killer perk. Basically, this perk activates once any survivor is within the Exit Gates. If the killer is x distance away from the gate and survivors perform any action of than the healing action within the Exit Gates (such as using…

Ticket Feedback (out of date?)
BHVR's current stance is that tunnelling/camping/slugging is a legitimate tactic and not reportable. However, despite this fact the tickets still offer options to report people for these reasons: Can whoever is responsible for the maintenance of the tickets please remove these options, since this causes rightful confusion,…

Survivor Creations: The Magnus Archives
These are concepts for 2 Survivors, based on a horror podcast "The Magnus Archives". This is my favourite Podcast (and chuffed "The Magnus Protocol" is now starting!), so wanted to see how two of the main characters from the original would fare in the realm: Survivor 1. Jonathan Sims Perk 1. Make Your Statement The Eye…

IdV Character Builds 2.
This is the second part of converting the Identity V Survivors into DBD, using Perks that reflect the abilities of those Survivors, rather than making anything high-optimum. This is for anyone who is looking to try something new out for fun, as well as something I just enjoy doing when I get a spare moment. Anywhizz, here…
-
IdV Character Builds 1.
This is more for fun and for people wanting to try out different builds, using the characters from Identity V as inspiration for these builds. For those who may not know, Identity V is a game influenced by Dead By Daylight and follows the same 4v1 format, with Survivors trying to complete Cyphers to escape the Hunters.…

Tunnelling/ Slugging reportable option?
More a feedback on the reporting system. I reported an individual today for unsportsmanlike conduct - details not relevant - however, it wasn't to do with slugging, tunnelling or camping as they are parts of the game BHVR has stated in the past. However, when looking at the subcategories, why are those options available…

Shout Out to "DOMREBEL"
With all the happenings of the PTB, this understandably may have be less noticed, but the designs of the DOMREBEL collection are really quite something! I wasn't aware of this art and design studio before, but their outfits in-game look great!

New Status Ideas
These are some new status effect ideas which may add some spicy moments or interesting tactics within the Trials. Just looking at some possible options: Inefficient: Survivors burn items 100% faster than usual. Charmed: Survivors reveal the any Survivor they are within 4m of via Killer Instinct for 3 seconds to the Killer.…

Shout Out to the Unlucky Nic
If, by the highly unlikely event you'll read this (the guy's name was obscured and he was on a different system to me), I just want to acknowledge how badly Dramaturgy screwed you up in Shelter Woods. Twice, you activated Dramaturgy to escape me and both times you became exposed. I feel you only had the chance to use it…

Profile Pictures
Firstly, this isn't a criticism, since there's an abundance of images to choose from. More a mini QoL. There are a lot of pictures for profiles and I feel there may be a place to put more "neutral" options. Bar maybe 1 or 2, all pictures are either Survivor or Killer. Obviously, this is a no-brainer as to why, but for…

Survivor Perk Overhauls
So I did this with Killer perks and thought to dp this again but instead with Survivor perks. Again, it would be interesting to hear what people think. Some I believe hit the mark well, whilst others could very much be as bad as my "Rancor" idea! Either way, here are some suggestions: Leader - Increases the action speeds…

Killer Perk Amendments
These are some perks from the killer side that I thought could do with amendments or overhauls. Some are only minor figure changes, whilst others are more; a few are complete changes. Just interested to know of any could be improvements for the future, which are complete poo and so on: Killer Perk Amendments: Unnerving…

Random Weekend
A current concern which has often been raised is the feeling of being unable to experiment with perks because of the optimisation and meta builds of their opponents, whichever side it may be. Many killers feel slow down perks have to be on their builds, whilst survivors feel they need chase builds. Often, this results in…

Killer Inanimate Items
Just for fun, this is a poll about killer items (or with evil intent) that the Entity may manipulate and bring in as a killer. They all come from some form of media, but just for giggles, what do you think would make a good killer? 1. Jeans (Slaxx) 2. Tyre (Rubber) 3. Toaster (Fallout New Vegas) 4. Kotatsu (Battle Heater)…

Agitated Advantage Challenge
On the Xbox One, this challenge will not be completed, despite all the requirements being met of hooking 2 survivors in the basement using Agitation. I have tried hooking the same survivor twice, all survivors hooked and all in the same trial, none of which appears to work. Please could you look into this bug.
-
The Trapper QOL suggestion
Just an idea for Trapper which doesn't change his power but makes him a little more viable: Maybe not an issue on earlier, darker maps, but on more recent maps the lighting is brighter, the floors are more distinct and the grass is too sparse. Is it possible to change the colour or tonation of the traps so they are more…

Xenomorph can make Unhooking impossible.
This bug has recently been discovered that a Xenomorph can set into a runner stance and block any unhook attempt. This would be extremely problematoc when facing this killer and cam be used for grieving purposes. Please may this be fixed.

Demonstration Videos
Firstly, this is not a complaint but simply a possible extra feature BHVR may be interested in to assist newer players. Obviously there are videos on YouTube offering tips for basic survivor/killer tactics. Would it be interesting for either a) a video link to one of these in the tutorial for newer players to view (this…

The Executioner Add-ons rethink
edit. I put this in the wrong topic in Creations. If mods see this there, please feel free to delete. I thought I'd have a go at reworking the add-ons to make the playstyle more diverse. Some items kept the effects, a few merged or adjusted and some were reworked to both fit the theme of the item, as well as offer some new…
