First outdoor map in almost 2 years.
Hooray for engaging map design that promotes using your eyes to see things in the distance, what a concept. Not to say that outdoor maps are without their flaws, but it's better than two floors of maze cough.

SBMM is really exhausting
TL;DR: High MMR matches are stressful and expecting players to play them EVERY game is unrealistic and makes the game less enjoyable This topic has been discussed to death so I'll try to make things quick. I'm not saying the system isn't functioning well / benefiting players This is an observation made on the killer side…

Opinions on the logo change?
Simple logo's have been a trend for a while now but most companies in recent memory that have tried a rebrand have been heavily criticized for unnecessary change that removes personality and recognizability. This makes you wonder why so many still try. But here we are, the trend of oversimplification has reached the DbD…

Who says Dead by Daylight on the opening screen in the PTB.
Not familiar with resident evil and was curious if this was nemesis or a different character.

What maps make you wanna stop playing?
Just curious to what extent others experience this. Personally once I get Midwhich or The Game I usually get very close to being burned out for the day. Midwhich is just a "W" simulator and The Game is an entire map of safe pallets that you play the exact same way. At least on Haddonfield or Fractured Cowshed I get…

Did the clowns bow change purple for anyone else?
Clicked on clown today and saw that his bow was purple. It's supposed to be red, it's the same on his prestige cosmetic as well. I don't know when this happened cause I rarely play clown. Anyone else experiencing this? I have none of the colorblind filters on and I suspect it's probably a bug that has to do with that.

I'm confused, is "Skill-Based Matchmaking" just another name for the new MMR?
Very confused as to what this "Skill-Based Matchmaking" system is, is it just another iteration of the MMR? Is this a new system they're testing entirely? Regardless of this it feels the exact same as when they first enabled the MMR about a year ago, noticeable skill drop of the players I'm being put up against, both…

What is your Dream Chapter?
I know this has been done a lot but I was really in the mood to do a post like this so here we are. What's your dream chapter? Doesn't matter how unrealistic it is or maybe it's something that's already in the game but you wish it was done another way. It doesn't have to be a full chapter, if you don't think it requires a…

What if Clown could teleport between lockers?
I've seen this idea get thrown around every once in a while and I think it would be really fun and suits the character. Not only would it give him a mode of traversal but imagine seeing him throw open the doors of a locker to reveal a funhouse portal inside that he struggles to try and fit into. I would assume that when…

How will the new HUD affect your gameplay?
Most people agree that the new HUD is a large step down from the one we currently have and question why the change was done in the first place, however in the recent Q&A dev stream they said that they would address our concerns over time, implying that the new HUD will in fact be coming to live servers in the next update.…

Merged: The new HUD is unnecessary and problematic.
This discussion has been merged.

Halloween in December?
Was just playing against a Bubba and we came across a canker in DECEMBER. No Halloween offerings were used so I guess the game just decided to spawn this guy in.

Does anyone else have to verify their game files after every update? (STEAM)
This used to never happen, at the beginning of this year it used to only happen during major updates, but it's gotten more and more frequent to the point where after every update I have to verify my files, if I don't 5 mins into my game being launched EAC freaks out and spits an error at me forcing me to quit my game even…

Why are there Clown challenges in level four?
I'm totally fine with doing some clown challenges I just don't understand why they're here. This tome was supposed to be focused on Billy, Blight, and Nea. And we've gotten one set of Bight challenges, and two sets of Billy challenges, so I was expecting level 4 to have some Blight ones but instead we got, Clown? I feel…

Demogorgon Chase Music bugged
Platform: PC Demogorgon chase music is played as if your being chased on the survivor side. Steps to reproduce: Play demo How often does this occur: I played 7 games and all 7 had the same issue so I would imagine 100% of the time.

Why can survivors crush victor after landing a successful attack?
When downing a survivor with victor another can come and crush victor for seemingly no reason. Being crushed as victor is a MASSIVE punishment and has heavier repercussions then demi or billy's already punishing stun. Not only are you swapped to Charlotte who could be across the map, but you are also forced into an…

What is the point of the PTB anymore? (ScottJund)
This is a topic that really needs attention and the video does a great job of explaining the problem so I won't get into it myself. Thanks Scott for covering this. Not mine all credit goes to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk9gPdY4fbH0BRhyTio9XIg https://www.twitch.tv/scottjund

What if Decisive Strike was base kit?
Before you lose your mind hear me out, I'm not asking for this change I just want to know what people think about it. So I've been thinking, Decisive currently uses a perk slot, and is one of the strongest perks in the game. It is one of the only perks in this game that's effects are so drastic that you have to constantly…

I'm just gonna leave this here....

Will The Blight get his own chase music/theme?
We've gotten unique chase music for everyone since demo, and most people really like it. Is the chase music trend over? Or was it just not ready in time for the release of the PTB?

Any word on matchmaking?
Like anything at all? I am aware that multiple mods on the forums have confirmed that matchmaking is being looked into, but I don't understand why things went so quiet all of a sudden, it's been a week and this is probably the worst state the game has ever been in, because no matter how skilled you are, your either bored…

Civil Discussions: For Dummies
I don't know about others, but I personally have been getting really tired of people on these forums who find a post they don't agree with, and instead of giving their reasoning and opinion on the matter, will just hurl insults at the OP and dismiss the topic entirely. I think it's a fair observation that this is not only…

Locking which Killer you matchmake as doesn't sound fun.
I personally would rather have all killers be grouped together in matchmaking then not being able to switch once in a lobby, not only is this going to lead to a LOT more lobby dodging then usual but to wait through current queue times just to load into a lobby of 4 pink shirt ace's as a Clown, is a kick in the nuts. There…

Billy changes are a thing that exist.
Ummmm no. I had an open mind and was hoping for the best, but what I've witnessed is manslaughter. Billy, one of the most popular, and agreed upon killers in the game has just been hit with some of the worst changes since Nurse. I had assumed that BHVR had learned that nobody liked how they handled the Nurse changes, but…

Hex: Huntress Lullaby - A small change that could go a long way
Over the past couple months since this new rift I have been playing as and against a lot more Huntress'(s). Due to the recent challenges that require you to use her base perks I have also played with and against Huntress Lullaby a LOT more than usual, and it made me realize the very obvious problem with an already weak Hex…

Where to report players?
Hi, sorry this is in the wrong place but I've never had to report people on the forums, I just had a game where 1 survivor played normally and i killed him, and the rest hid for the entire game, I was playing slinger so I had no way of tracking them. I recorded the game on https://www.twitch.tv/minipixels and the game took…

Why is the offering screen so tiny now?
I saw in the patch notes that in the offering screen before loading into a match that the offerings would now display their descriptions, I don't know if I'm misunderstanding or my game is bugged but the offerings are just really tiny now. Is anyone else seeing this? And if so, does anyone know the reason behind the…

Are flashlights bugged right now?
The past couple weeks since the chains of hate update dropped I seem to be getting blinded immediately without a build up, normally you would see that your about to be blinded so you can look away, but I haven't been getting the normal light that increases in intensity quickly, I'm just getting blinded instantly. Is anyone…

If you could pick one killer to get a buff/rework who would it be?
There's been a lot of discussion about Killer nerfs on the forums lately so I thought I'd change things up a bit. When I used to think of Killers that needed buffs Doctor was always one of the first to come to mind. Now that the Doctor has gotten his resurgence in viability. I personally would choose the Clown for obvious…

BHVR Can We Keep Him?
I have become too attached to this bird friend, I need him in my life. He provides me with joy when waiting for a lobby. I know he will go away when the next update comes out, but is he in the new map somewhere? Or is there anyway we can keep him? pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaseee can we keep him BHVR? :D EDIT: I am happy to report…

Questions about the upcoming MMR system.
I'ts been about a month since the announcement of the new MMR system and people have developed a lot of questions within that period of time, I think me and many others have the same questions, so I thought I would make this to see if they could be answered. 1: While rank would no longer correlate to your matchmaking…

New forums font size/look
Considering I spend all of my time between matches reading threads and writing my own, I know these forums like the back of my hand. While I love the new look of the forums something I've noticed is that everything seems harder to read. It could be the background color, the new font size, or me going blind. But just…

Great Killer after Great Killer after Great Killer.
The devs stepped up their game when the Demogorgon was released, a simple power that was straight to the point that seemed bad at first but when explored he showed a lot of depth and strategy, creating one of my favorite killers in the game. The Oni was next creating a fearsome killer that turned into a chase god after…

10/10 Game Changing Update 🎉
EDIT: This was made BEFORE the new killer was revealed, please keep that in mind, thanks! As I predicted, after the ruin changes we would be getting a very heavily Killer favored update, this is EXACTLY what the game needed to keep the community alive and the game fresh, the new breakable walls are gonna be a game changer,…

Are we ever gonna get our Event items back?
If you didn't already know there was a glitch that caused many players to lose their event cosmetics, such as the huntress hound mask, we were told they would just give the cosmetics to all players, but the devs soon went back on this decision due to player feedback, I agree everyone shouldn't have gotten them. We were…

Going against optimal red rank players without ruin every game is going to be painful.
I agree we definitely need a better matchmaking system, but from what it sounds like this new hidden MMR will just match top level killers with SWF groups every game. The ruin nerf scared me at first, but I realized how well I can do without it, but I don't think I can go against optimal teams every single game without…

Nerfing stronger killers and the Doctor
I keep seeing discussions pop up to nerf "x" killer and "the Doctor is too strong", this is my response to these discussions. I really hope people realize that it's okay to have strong killers in the game, and not every killer that's better then average needs to be nerfed. Stronger killers like Billy, and Huntress are fine…
-
Devs, do you plan to look at Nurse again in the future?
It's been about three months since the Nurse changes, and while the community backlash was strong at first, it died down fast and was nothing compared to the backlash of the recent Hex:Ruin changes. While Nurse definitely needed change to her add-ons, many people (myself included) didn't think her base-kit should have been…

Tome II, Challenge balance
For people who barley play survivor or don't at all, the current balance of challenges in the tomes can be a bit off putting. In the previous tome completing every challenge would get you to around level 50. For players that wan't to complete the rift, doing all the challenges is necessary unless they grind the game for…

Thanks for the Doctor update!
I've been liking this update even though ruin got shat on, I'm still doing decent in red ranks so I won't be too worried about it as long as nothing else huge happens. Anyway I love the changes to the Doctor and even though it wasn't a huge buff, he is pretty decent now and is a lot more fun to play. I like the music, it's…

TIME TO PANIC

Listen to what your community is telling you.
I've been with this game since launch and have seen all of the decisions made from the dev team, and BOY did this come out of left field. I don't know what happened after the Stranger Things chapter, but gosh have you guys changed. The Nurse changes were harsh at the least, and despite player feedback you pushed it into…

The End is Near
The year is 2020 the devs have nerfed nurse so hard she has the lowest pick rate in the game, and are going after ruin. After many moons of feedback and suggestions to leave it as is they are ignoring posts regarding anything related to ruin. The killer population is dwindling with more "i'm quitting" posts on the forums…
