A New Build To Annoy Killers
So, I need a new build away from my usual in order to spice up gameplay for me a bit, and I came to a realisation: My preferred playstyle as a survivor is to ANNOY THE KILLER to no end, by doing stuff like unhooking when they just walked away from the hook (about the distance that Devour Hope would activate, or rather,…

Your Job, Described Badly
As the title suggests. What is your job? What is it that pays your bills and covers your addictions whenever a new DLC comes out? The catch. You can only describe it badly. For me, I make a living selling a variety of exotic poisons varying in strength to a wide variety of people every day as part of one of, if not the,…

Some of My Favourite Models from Warhammer 40k
LONG POST WARNING - Well, this is me posting this but there are a lot of pictures that I've had to add here. So, in my spare time (aka daylight.......) I tend to paint Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. A LOT of miniatures. Today, I just want to share some pictures of what could be considered some of my favourite miniatures to…

Our Multiple Objectives and How "Efficiency" Ruins Them
Quite a few of you might have seen before in other threads about the current emblem and ranking system that I have actually defended it as a decent way to ascertain someone's place within the game. When it works and we don't get horribly mismatched games. People commonly view this game with ONLY TWO OBJECTIVES: Do…

Maybe Generator SPEEDS Aren't The Problem
One thing that it feels like every killer on the forums is complaining about at some point is to do with generator speed and how quickly they are completed. Now granted, 2 survs on a generator with a Prove Thyself and a BNP Toolkit can be pretty quick, but that's not what I want to focus on with this thread. What I instead…

Confessions of a Self-Care User
It's common knowledge that a lot of people on these forums don't like Self-Care. That's fine. You do you. What I'm doing today is just sharing why I use Self-Care on ALL of my builds that I have the perk available for, outside of custom games with friends. I'm the type of survivor that likes to have two health states. I'm…

Possible "Fix" For EVERY Killer in the Game
Lately there has been a lot of talk around balance....... again......... now that the Blight is out. So, excluding him as I have been positively slammed with work, and hearing about the miscellaneous bugs that this patch has brought, I haven't played as or against him YET, therefore he will be excluded from this. My rules…

WHY This Game Will Never Be "Balanced"
One thing that I see a lot of posts saying is that this game will never be in a true state of balance, and yes, I can agree. BUT what I'm going to try and explore here is not at all that the devs are incompetent, but rather that what we have here in Dead by Daylight are two completely SEPARATE GAMES that are technically…
-
Saying Something Nice About EVERY Killer
To break up the usual monotony of "Nerf X", "Second Chance Meta is Dumb" or even the stupid "PC vs. Console" threads, I have decided to try and say something positive about every single killer in the game. Not exactly going to do the Survivors, since they are all skins, but if you all want me to, I can certainly try but…

I Broke the Archives.
No joke, no idea how, no clue if it will fix itself or if I have to do them all again, but I jumped on and checked my Archives to find THIS: Yes, that mission is still active so I'm assuming I can still complete it. Yes, I'm also fine with doing them all again and getting the Bloodpoints for it too. Just wanted to share…

How I Naturally Avoid Decisive Strike, Unbreakable and Borrowed Time
Before you go an further, here's the usual list of disclaimers: NO I am not a god at killer. Ranks don't really matter, because they are both more of a time thing and even if my rank has slipped, this has worked against random teams of 2 reds, a purple and a green after I had let my rank slip to about 16 on accident.…

I Did Bones. You Need A New Excuse.
This is just a reminder that yes, there are indeed survivors who do bones in order to try and counter NoED. These players also generally don't gen-rush. When these players come here and say that NoED is indeed a terrible perk and needs changing, they're right. They do not need to "git gud", they do not need to hear "Just…

Remember When Games Were About FUN?
Since when was everything about proving that you're better than someone else through any means? Why can't we just get along and realise we all need each other for this game to work? How can you honestly justify making other people MISERABLE for a reward that lasts for all of 30 seconds and comes with so much hate attached?…
-
Fear, Hope and Dread
If I were to ask you what the most important element of the primal emotion "fear" was, what might you say? The best answer would usually be not knowing, a lack of understanding. And while this is true, there is another factor that is second most important to fear, and the one that we as players can control more than any…

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Themed Builds
Hey guys! So, for a bit of fun, I want to make a bunch of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure themed builds for Dead by Daylight, and if we can get enough builds then I'll try to convince some of my mates to run them and make a stream out of it! Now, for those of you that don't know JJBA, it's a highly enjoyable anime/manga series…

Ideas for Reworking Pig's Add-Ons
So, as many of us know, Pig currently has quite possibly the worst set of add-ons in the game, with half of them basically acting against you with certain effects. What I've done is had a go at changing some of these add-ons to help make them more beneficial to the Pig player and have more viable options than a 3rd of the…

The Hillbilly Problem
THIS IS NOT A HILLBILLY HATE OR HIT-PIECE Since nobody is properly reading this, here's a small sunmary for you so you can stop with bad criticism to shut down discussion: - I'm not calling for changes or nerfs, besides insta-saw - I'm not saying Hillbilly is OP - I'm looking at his skill floor, not celing. Don't mention…

A Guide to Weird Endgame Screens
So, I'm not exactly sure what is going on here, but lately I've had games where I've had killer perks NOT show up on the end screen, and their power/add-ons are for a completely different killer. Until this gets fixed, I'd like to ask that we all, as a community, try to form a guide so we can understand which killers are…

Should Mori's Forfeit Ranking?
I mean for BOTH SIDES, so don't bite my head off just yet and read first. All of it. So, there's a lot of talk about Mori's and how they just suck. And I agree! Unless it's the Cypress Mori, getting murdered out of nowhere sucks. I have a proposal for the current set of Mori offerings that should help stop the hate for…
-
Ruin Received A Shadow Buff
Now, before any mods or anyone else decide to move this to Bug Reports, I have already submitted a bug report through the official support page. This is literally to spread awareness and to make light of a terrible situation. It is my coping mechanism. So just finished a game on Lery's and I found THIS ABOMINATION within…
-
The Legion Problem
Now that their Archives is out, I feel like there's no better time to talk about one of the biggest and most concerning issues of Dead by Daylight. The massive disconnect between player opinion of power, primarily focused on kills, and balancing around the Emblem system. How DO you balance a killer around that? And yes, I…
-
Why SHOULD I Help You?
Now, before anyone bites my head off, this is off the back of a few unpleasant experiences and I know that not every game is like this, but the fact that it's brewing this type of a feeling is important to discuss. I know that I have said before that "last game shouldn't mean anything" but that statement is getting harder…
-
What TYPE Of Killer Are You?
Now, before you do the quick thing, I don't mean who do you main, I mean how do you play. There is a large divide amongst the player base as to what is acceptable and what isn't. I'm disgusted by Chainsaw Spam and think that you should be using your mallet more since it's your WEAPON while Hillbilly players say that it's…
-
Pips or Kills?
So, there seems to be a community perception on how strong a killer is based on how consistently they can get kills, or end up getting a 4k. I've started to see that there is also strength in how one can rank up while playing killer and the relative strength of certain "low tier" killers, such as Legion in the regard. Now,…

"I Payed Money!" Is Not An Excuse
So, as of late, there has been a rampant rise within the Killer community of tunnellers and campers. This has been the case ever since the Ruin rework. To me, there is zero justification of this behaviour. I could reasonably see it back when Dying Light was based on the Obsession dying, and I can sympathise with camping…

The Clown Problem
Yes, I'm doing another one of these, and no I didn't learn my lesson from last time. Ok. Good? Got what you wanted? Fine. Begone with you then. Right. Now that the serious people are staying, I can get on with the topic at hand. Before we go on further as well, I'm not specifically talking about the highest levels of…

New Console Generation and DbD
So, with the announcements of the Xbox Series X and the Playstation 5, how do we all think Dead by Daylight will do? Will we get a new release for the next generation? Will it be considered backwards compatible? Will all purchased Chapters/Cosmetics be transferable between generations if they are? Are all the Archives that…

The "Opposite" Effect of Archives
I don't know exactly how true this is for others, but it's something that I have to ask about. How many people find that Archives gives them the opposite effect within their games? For me, it's every single Archives mission. There seems to be this miraculous streak of bad luck that I have where I pick an Archives mission…
-
A Way to Skip Certain Archives Missions
Just wondering how people would feel about adding a way within Archives to outright SKIP certain challenges that either seem impossible at a certain level of play, or require certain perks/tactics/playstyles that some of us despise and would rather avoid using ourselves. The system I propose will have it that you can…

Should We Have More CUSTOM Terror Radii?
As we all know with basic killer statistics, there is an overwhelming majority that are [4.6m/s, 32m TR, Large] killers. It's a nice and easy mould to make. Occasionally we get some like the Pig or the Legion who are Medium, instead of Large. There is also the Hag and the Spirit who are slower, but with a 24m terror radius…

New Chapter: Desolate Wastes
So, since it was 29*C at 2:30am in Australia where I am, it's time that I designed an ice themed killer, and tried to redo my Survivor. For the 5(?) of you who have seen my Survivor, then you'll know that one of the perks have changed. It was going to be a bit too powerful in most usable iterations, and if people started…
-
Gen Speed Based on Maps?
Ok, so with new Ruin released/about to be released, the topic of generator speeds has come up again. With all the talk, there's one (well, two, but I I'd rather discuss the other issue in a separate thread) solution that could solve a lot of issues for both sides, and also allow for more creative freedom from the Devs:…
