2v8: My killer analysis from survivor view
So I have been playing 2v8 as survivor a lot the last few days - and survivor only because a) gotta take that +400% BP and b) 15 minute queues suck. My honest thoughts about the killers and the choice of having them in this game mode: Trapper: Does MUCH better than in normal games because more chaos - more people running…

Totem Concept Idea: Up the Ante (not the perk)
I was just thinking that it would be interesting to use a BP offering after you know it will yield at least some points. Then it occurred to me that since totems can now be used as boon, many survivors hesitate to cleanse them. So here's the idea: Cleansing a DULL totem "ups the ante" for you. If you escape, it's worth a…

Shrine BP not given
I just spent all my BP and went to the shrine of secrets for more. I bought the left perk and got 100k as promised. Then I bought the top perk, also had it at level 3 unlocked, I double-checked, and got no BP, but my shards were spent! When I re-entered the shrine, the perk was still up for purchase. A second try yielded…

See unlocked perks?
Is there a way to know which perks I have unlocked previously via the shrine of secrets, so I can decide which survivors to still prestige? Also, let's say I unlocked level 1 of a perk in the shrine and then P1 the survivor, does this unlock level 2 or had I just wasted my shards in that case? Or in other words: Is the…

Evading Flashbang
I recently was facing a bully squad and while carrying one of them to a hook I noticed a Bill throwing a flashbang. I INSTANTLY looked straight up (definitely not too late as there was a moment of anticipation until it went off) but was still stunned. Do I have to actually face away from the flashbang or what else went…

How do I git gud? (Killer Edition)
I noticed I have a real problem getting more than one kill at ranks 9 or higher. Some killers work better than others, but it's especially bad with Demogorgon. It's not so much that I am bad at handling him (that too), but I rather get the impression that I don't know what to do. It always seems to me like a…

Infinite Haste
What happened: I was looping Pig at the main building, ran up the outside stairs and vaulted the first window. When I landed, I had the usual haste timer, but when that had went down, I got another haste timer that stayed at 100% and I was actually hasted too. It stayed there when I was downed after giving the killer a…

German censored words
I noticed there are several words that are censored in the aftergame chat that are German common everyday words, like "doch" and "wenn", totally harmless conjunctions, and also "quer", which means "across". While I understand the need to "###" out certain words, is it really necessary to blacklist swears from so many…

Wiggling while running? What purpose?
When I watch streamers or other survivor players in my games, a lot of them don't just run straight but they "wiggle" left and right all the time. Now I might be oblivious to some game mechanics but this should make them slower because they are effectively zigzaging, right? What's the sense behind this? I always assumed it…

Perk search
The number of perks has steadily increased and I sometimes have a hard time finding the one I am looking for in my collection. How about a string search where we can type in the perk we need or part of the name? Or at least an option to sort perks alphabetically. I don't always remember all the icons for all perks and I…

Let console players say "gg"
AFAIK console has no aftergame chat. How about adding a feature that lets players send various non-toxic standard messages? Maybe limit it to sending only one or two messages to prevent spam. "gg" "well played" "that was unlucky" "interesting build" and so on. I think it would add to the positivity of the aftergame chat…

FPS drop / 100% CPU usage mid-game
Platform: PC Description of the issue: When playing as killer, a few minutes into the game my FPS suddenly drop to single-digit. The task manager shows that CPU usage hits 100%. After a few seconds, the FPS are back to normal, but my game looks like I have all graphics settings to "lowest" (no idea if that's actually how…

Why is EU full of Russians?
I was wondering: Why is it that I am playing on an EU server (selected Steam server is in Germany), yet I get about 50% Russians? Does Russia not have any servers of their own? But this was a thing even before dedicated servers. I know of a lot of people here who play the game, so I'm curious about why I don't see German,…

New Pip System is ridiculous
Straight to the point: The new pip system is FUBAR! I had games with 3 kills where I barely(!) black pipped and 2 kills where I depipped with only 4 points. It's not my fault if in some games survivors can't put up a fight! I was rank 12 when the new system arrived and now I am 14 scraping on 15 because I didn't pip even…

I am the absolutely worst noskill camper EUW
I had a game where I hooked one surv, quickly searched the general area for any hiding wannabe-unhookers and then zoomed around again with my chainsaw. Downed another one half a map away who instantly disconnected, another one who ALSO disconnected when downed at a cheesy window (didn't expect my chainsaw addons for faster…

Plague Purifying Pools: How many?
How many are there? Is it a fixed number like the Puzzleboxes or Trapper traps? Or is it depending on the map size like hooks?

"Entity's Choice" / Random Killer Button
As some have probably noticed, Admiral Bahroo went back to playing some DbD yesterday and wanted to play a random killer - mentioning he's wondering why the devs haven't made a "random killer" button by now. Someone in chat by the name of SallyTheodora (credit where credit is due) said that "Entity's Choice" would be an…

Meaning of "Baby Killer"
A question: When you call someone "baby killer" in the chat, is it an insult or do you just mean "unskilled/untrained" but don't want to say "noob" because it sounds too harsh?

I just played with the MSTI
MSTI stands for "Most Stupid Team Imaginable". We all started together on Blood Lodge. Gen next to us, nice. Finish it in record time just disrespecting Hex: Ruin by hitting all our skill checks. Move on and see Hag. She sees me, I dart off and have a freeze screen so I run into something. She catches me instantly and the…

What I learned from getting rank 1 survivor for the first time
So, I've been around in the game since pre-Nurse. But since I almost only played killer, I suck at survivor (and, to a lesser extent, as killer too). I can't loop, I don't know totem or hatch places and I don't know good escape routes. I like the killer role and got rank 1 as killer around the time MM came out. Lately,…

Stop SWF Abuse Please!
I admit, I am not the best player. I am stuck around rank 10/11 with killer and even lower with survivor. So this is even more of a problem for me than for others who are good enough to eventually get to rank 1. Almost every game is against SWF. This in itself is not the real problem, but it leads to it. What I mean is…

Nurse in Léry's Memorial Institute
How to play? Or just give up and stand around so my DC rate is not getting me banned?

Idea to stop the looping problem
This might be a bit lengthy due to the first part where I talk about why survivors loop. So bear with me. * Why do survivors loop? Obviously, they do it because it is their best choice. If they get the killer to follow them, they rake in points and waste the killer's time, in turn giving their teammates time to finish…

Cypress Memento Mori
Back in the day when sabotage was the dominant meta, the Cypress Mori at least allowed the killer to make one kill when all of his hooks were gone. Now that these dark times are over, being able to kill the last survivor instead of hooking him is kind of a moot point. 4000 BP for maybe getting a nice animation in case you…

Last Game's Stats
Hi, This is less of a gameplay wish and more a quality-of-life one: I'd like to be able to re-display my last game's results after leaving the end screen. Also, I saw a beta screenshot of a detailed analysis where the player's points came from: hits, hooks, escapes and so on. Basically all scoring events in a list in order…

An Analytical Rant About Playstyles
This is feedback but as well a general plea to the players, which is why I'm posting it here. I've been around the game since before the first DLC and recently started playing again after more than a 6 months break. Taking a step back from the game gave me some insight into what makes the game now different from the game…
