Disconnects at the 5 second mark
Twice in a row, I had a survivor disconnect right when the match hit the 5 second mark and the match was confirmed. WTH! I'm trying what a person would have to gain by doing this. I can't see how this was accidental. Has anyone else run into this?

Unable to use two items?
So twice now I've noticed I couldnt use one item with a different one equipped. The first time this happened when I had a flash bang and a medkit. I went to heal someone, but I wasnt allowed to - instead it had me drop my flash bang before I could use the medkit - good thing the killer was on the other side of the map…

Just ran into my first hacker
So, I was playing killer, and this person is literally flying through the air, even when I downed them several times; recovered in the air, flashlighted me from the air, etc. Wasn't ALWAYS in the air, and I managed to hook them once, only for them to unhook themselves right in front of my face and fly through the air…

Crashing and Getting DC Penalties
So recently I've been getting unreal engine crash errors; up until now it was merely frustrating, as it wasnt happening all the time, but enough to be a pain. Got an occasional 5 minute DC penalty, which was also frustrating, but it wouldn't happen enough for me to get another. But now that's changed. Just got my second…

Camping: when is it ok?
Well, I just had a surprisingly discouraging match today, and it was mostly from the extraordinarily hostile attacks of two of the players after the match. So, I'm mostly a survivor, not that great a killer, so I'm starting out here. Rank 18, not that awesome, on the PC, and rank 15 on the PS4. Anyway, I'm trying to get…

Demogorgon: Red Moss
With the addition of another effect to Red Moss, which now adds emerging from the portal silently but more slowly, does this mean that it doesn't make the portalling sound at all, or just silently at the receiving end? I'm trying to understand what it does besides the undetectable.

Vic Viper Charm
So, I've heard that people can't get the vic viper charm on consoles yet, but the PC is supposed to be available AND I've seen youtubers getting it... and I've had a couple friends get it. It's not working on my pc. I've done the code over and over and OVER, and nothing. Anyone else on PC also having this problem?

List of Known Issues with Twins Chapter
I have to admit, this last chapter's list of known issues is appalling. The Perk Hoarder is just laughable, most of its functionality is basically nonexistent. I can't believe they released this chapter in this state. This will be the last time I purchase a chapter sight unseen. From now on, I will be waiting awhile to…

Buying the Silent Hill DLC on PS4
I bought the DLC on the PC a couple hours ago, and it hasn't become available to purchase on the PS4 yet. This is frustrating. Any idea what's going on?

Is this a reportable offense?
So this guy on the facebook Dead by Daylight Community page came on and started ranting about how his OG account was finally perma banned, so he created a new one and was already to rank 7 or 4 or something like that. I suggested maybe if he stopped doing bannable things he wouldnt need to create a new account... after…

Banning for Racial, sexual, and other slurs
If you report someone for using various "off limits" slurs, or saying #########, and have screen shots to prove it, will someone actually get banned? I'd hate to waste my time if they won't, but I had someone launch into me, including the "n-word," the "gay" slur, and other items, and I have screen shots to prove it, will…

God I suck lately
I was never a rank one, but I did pretty well for myself both a survivor and killer, but lately I've been doing terrible regardless of which side I play and I have no idea why. I'm getting very frustrated over it. I'm not talking about rank and pimping, I'm talking about being the first guy found and killed every match…

Fun with devour hope
So this is just a post about an actual play experience, not advice or looking for advice or anyting. So I was a mid-tier killer until these changes, now I'm getting closer to the low-end, and unfortunately lately it's not just about pipping I seem to be getting less kills than I used to as well, and I'm not sure why. It's…

Favorite Build: Dealing with Toxic SWF
So just curious, if you see a 4-man team pop in, bearing flashlights, etc, and you are expecting a toxic SWF experience, what killers/builds are your favorite?

Vile Endgame Survivors
You know, I remember when I was a kid, I played Soccer. When the game was done, we always crossed to the other team and said good game while giving each other a kind of high five. Lord. If I play killer, if I do poorly, I get accusations of trash at least a third of the time. Sometimes a GG and dont worry you'll get…

Defending the Hook
A littler while ago I'd posted a thread about asking when it was ok to camp. I don't care any more, I'll camp when I damned well please. Because survivors are ruining the game for me. Several times now, I've played matches where the moment I hook someone, do the other survivors work on gens? No. They SWARM the hook to try…

How to combat toxic SWFs?
The title pretty much says it all. How do you combat toxic SWF groups?

Post Match Toxicity
Whatever happened to the idea of being good sports, whether in victory or defeat? I swear, on the PC, if I win well as killer, I get attacked. If I do poorly, I get attacked. If my survivor group did poorly, we get attacked. etc etc Not every match, but still. And on the PS4, I sometimes, though less commonly, get similar…

Huntress: PC vs PS4
I suppose this could be renamed Controller vs Keyboard+Mouse. I use the controller for the PC as well for the most part, as I find trying to contort my fingers for crouching or running with WASD as survivor was a real pain. Plus, I'd started DBD on the PS4 first. But I like playing Huntress as killer, but I suck at her…

Prestige: is it worth it?
So, from what I understand, when you prestige, you are starting out your character from scratch, with the exceptions that you get a bloody piece of your cosmetics, and... improved bloodweb results? I'm trying to determine if its really worth it. I don't care about the cosmetics. Some from the store I like more. What I care…

Ugh
I've had a really tough day today as killer. Yesterday I did very well. But today, I've had my ass kicked over and over and over. I think I've been running into SWF groups all day, but not sure. What's worse, all but one of the groups that played against were also very bad sports, talking about how terrible I was…

The Closet Monster!!!
Ok, weird thought, but I would love to see a killer that interacts with lockers, like maybe can teleport from one to another, or something similar, and call it the closet monster. Doesn't really fit the theme, since killers are serial killers and not monsters in the regular sense, but I think it would be fun. :)

An Apology to Killers; Plus: No Shame No More No Way
A bit of background. Been playing since Halloween, but played Survivor exclusively until about two weeks ago, maybe three, finally started playing killer. I used to get enraged about camping and tunneling as a survivor, until I started playing killer. Now I get it, and now I owe an apology to all those killers for my…

Survivors not quite as unique as killers
I feel certain that this has been brought up before, but I find it odd that each killer has a unique ability, but survivors all just have perks that eventually anyone can learn. Seems to me that survivors should have one unique something that only they have. Just a thought anyway.
-
The psychology of the killers choosing targets
I've noticed that if I'm with other survivors and the killer find us, if I'm playing Jeff he almost always chases me first. Now, Jeff is a big guy. Makes me wonder, would killers unconsciously go after the bigger targets first, like Jeff and David, leaving the smaller ones to be less likely to be chased? Curious.

So, Body Slamming Tactics by Survivors?
I've just recently started playing killer (full disclosure, not the greatest survivor either lol), and this one group of survivors kept body slamming into me and getting hit. I understand the idea is to slow me down from the hooks so the one on being carried can wiggle free, but all it did was get everyone injured and my…

Just had an "interesting" social interaction after a match
wow, I just had someone really go for my throat verbally for not playng the game the way he thought I should have been on the PS4. Us both survivors. Somehow I've reached rank 6. I dont feel like rank 6; I feel like rank 12; I do think its too easy to rank up, I just don't feel good enough to be rank 6, and I've struggled,…

Question on Killer Controls
So I've been playing since halloween, but until two or three days ago, exclusively survivor. Finally started playing killer, and I had a question. Before my question though, a quick rant: I'm having a godawful time aiming that hatchet for huntress. Good lord!!!! I'm just trying to do a daily ritual, hit with a hatchet four…

Frustrated: survivor vs killer balance
Ok, so this is partially whining, partially venting, I'm not only feeling salty right now, but downright bitter. And I'm hoping someone can shine a little light on my personal darkness here. So I've been playing a little over a month, and I'm rank 8 now on the PS4; a tiny bit higher on the PC; I alternate depending on…

Am I playing too cautious?
So I've been playing just over a month now, strictly survivor, and I tend to play cautiously - perhaps too cautiously. I will take some risks, but I often won't risk saving someone from the basement unless I see the killer chasing someone else, and usually wont risk saving camped people as well. But I also noticed I often…

Two bloody party streamers gone
So I'm guessing there's nothing we can do about this, but two of us survivors used bloody party streamers, we got to the point where it burns our offerings.... And the client just turned off. Like someone threw a switch. I just stared at it like #########, and of course, it's gone. I suppose there's nothing to be done…

Unusual Behavior
Sorry, this is lengthy, but I'm kinda blowing steam, and kinda trying to figure out if I misread two situations here. I appreciate your patience. I was just in the longest match I've ever had, as in excruciatingly long, and it included some behavior from two survivors I was a little confused about. I've only been playing…

Question on Survivor/Killer balance; also, game availability
Hi everyone. First time posting here, only been playing this game for a couple days. I had a question on the balance between survivors and killers. I've watched the entire team of survivors get slaughtered over and over, with the killer getting high score most of the time. I understand you can win without surviving if you…

Killer AFK/Second Account abuse?
So this has happened a couple times until today, but now, just today, three or four times, I've gotten a killer that is essentially afk, standing there auto swinging at thin air. One of those times another survivor kept getting hit, backing out, and healing over and over and over the entire match; that survivor and the…
