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Ticket Feedback (out of date?)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)…

Stranger Things 2
The update just came with the original Stranger Things promo, so I think this is it!

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…

Server issues
I'm on the Xbox One, playing on the UK servers. Yesterday, there were a few trials with abnormally high levels of ping that seemed to be spread across all the players, either constantly or sporadically. Bars appeared besides their portraits on the in-game HUD, as well as on mine. In some cases, chases were horrendous as…

A Way to Bring some Fun Back
So I'd first like to share a video which is the main reason for this suggestion, regarding CoconutRTS and his analysis of the current MMR system: When the modern version of MMR was introduced it did work a lot better at the start. However, as time went on, trials became more erratic and less enjoyable. The video…

Sacrificial Ward change
I feel that, beyond the offerings for knowing where the basement will spawn, this offering is one of the most useless offerings ever made. Recently, there was a match where the following happened: At first, I believed this was a bug since I read the Sacrificial Ward rejecting all map offerings made it so those maps were…
-
Xbox One - Sacrificial Ward Error
I set a Sacrificial Ward as an Offering as survivor. Another survivor had Gideon Meat Plant as their offering. According to the description, Sacrificial Ward cancels all map offerings. The below photo shows that Gideon Meat Plant ended up as the map, which contradicts the Sacrificial Ward's effects entirely. I vaguely…

Some Killers....
I've had 3 trials today which had a survivor disconnect either after less than a minute or after the first down the killer makes. In each of those trials, the killer has let all of us remaining survivors escape and even memed about. The killers were: The Hillbilly, The Mastermind and The Dredge. Of course, this is not what…
-
Possible Nurse and Blight change ideas
Just a thought about both of these. The Blight I won't go into so much as these changes have been suggested before, but all he needs would be some alterations to his most powerful add-ons. It's commonly requested, so a review of Compound 21 and Alchemist Ring should probably be looked at seriously now. Otherwise, his power…
-
Motion Sickness
I've recently been having a debate with someone on the forums and one thing came up that I've only heard of recently: motion sickness. Apparently, this does affect some on the killer side and whilst there are some things which can be done by the player, the game really ought to be more accessible [sic?] when it comes to…

A kids' programme???
My wife showed me this clip from an old children's show called "Rainbow" and I am impressed that this made it through to screening! Thought I'd share it as it is rather entertaining:

The Cosmetic Mori
I'm really interested in this and whether this will be passed on to some existing legendary skins. For those who may not know, it was announced "Naughty Bear" was beconing a legendary cosmetic for Trapper and that it was coming with its own Mori. In some ways, this makes Naughty Bear fully fledged as its own character (one…

Useless fact of the day
At 21:20 tonight in the UK, if you look outside, the brightness of the evening will be the exact same brightness as it would be on Pluto during what would be Pluto's "midday". A fact so useless, I told my wife this 10 minutes ago and she is now close to being angry with me because she couldn't think of anything more…

Dwight the Killer
I watch jmwFILMS on YouTube, who does mini films using GTA. This came up with the screenshot and I actually wondered what would happen in an alternative reality where this Dwight was chosen after the events of this video, not as survivor, but killer. Here's a possible story in that world:

Bitter Murmur Query
Another player and myself have noticed that Bitter Murmur has an issue whereby if a generator is completed and that black circle encompasses the newly completed gen aura, it is not possible to see survivors on that gen as they become hidden by that circle. I'm assuming this may not be intended as it works against the very…

Auto-aim Issue
I'm currently playing on Xbox One in the UK. Since the most recent update 6.7.1, I've noted auto-aim has become worse. My hits which should hit a survivor are flying way off when before if they missed I could put it down to my error. Now they seem to have a mind of their own! Not sure what's happening exactly, but would be…

Night Light
Just wanted to share a stat-collecting website with you all. It is not an official stat site for DBD, but a place where people can upload their result screens and the data is correlated into overall statistics. Once again, this isn't the 100% of all games, but still interesting to look at regardless: https://nightlight.gg/

A More Accurate Player Stat Site
Often, when people refer to the DBD, they usually refer to the Steam charts. It's understandable, since it's the easiest to find, but as people probably know it's not accurate of the whole playerbase. This website link below is inclusive of all platforms, I believe. I'm putting this here as this may allow people to use…

Ormand Upper Floor Hook Request
I've had a trial recently where a couple of survivors would keep running to the bedroom upstairs, which I found was far enough from the hooks that with Boil Over equipt it's impossible to get to a hook without Iron Grasp at least on. Would it be possible to place at least 1 hook somewhere on the upper floor, or at least…
