Survivor Buffs now give guaranteed escapes???
Survivors will now get endurance AND haste for 5 seconds once they're unhooked... and that's for free. So consider the scenario where a killer has just managed to down someone near an exit gate. They're put on a hook, obviously close to the exit gate because you can't walk very far while carrying a wiggling survivor. If…

Release notes??
Have I gone blind, or are they not posted anywhere for this new release?

PC - Controller + Mouse input still causing FPS drops
As above, this issue was introduced with the Trickster update, and despite 3 attempts at fixes, has still not been resolved. It appears to now be ignored being as none of the recent updates have mentioned anything about it. To reproduce, literally plug in a DS4 controller, and use that for movement etc (left stick, left…

Replace Survivor Grades with Character Portraits on End Screen
Like the title says :) I'm on board with removing the grades from being visible, and think it'd be a good idea to put the character portraits there in the same place so we can easily associate the players by character, rather than by name (which isn't that helpful). Right now, if I'm thinking "which one was the 'X'…

Family Residence Shack Basement: Impossible To Pick Up Survivor At Base Of Stairs
Here's a clip from the survivor perspective: I was playing the Nurse. The Feng appears to clip into the wall as she went down and I wasn't able to get the 'pick-up survivor' prompt. The survivor was unaware of the bug and moved away from the wall soon after, I was able to pick-up normally then. I'm playing on PC/Steam.

Medkit + Instaheal doesn't invalidate DS?
Not sure if this is a bug, or whether I was against a hacker? The survivor had been rescued off hook, and took to hide behind a rock. As I approached (with Nurses), I saw them healing, went around and gave chase. They were down about 3 seconds later. And then I get hit with DS... weird, they were healing?? So I continue…

How the MMR works, and why what Patrick said makes absolute sense (from a dev POV)
The recent controversy over Patrick's comments embarrasses me; it just highlights the mob-mentality of the DBD community and I absolutely empathise over why the devs refuse to comment on matters... because too many people screech in response about things they don't understand. And right now it's MMR, like everyone has…

Invisible Terrain/Obstacle on Mother's Dwelling Main Building Outer Staircase
I've had this a couple of times in different matches (i.e. it's definitely terrain related, and nothing to do with my input), two examples here: Playing on PC/Steam

Survivors that complain about tunnelling, what do you think about this?
From the killer perspective, once a survivor has been unhooked they have at their disposal to use: self-care free heals from fellow survivors medkit (potentially with styptic syringe or bottled bt) we'll make it borrowed time boon totem for more free heals boon totem for hiding scratches iron will + lucky break to…

Why is it *always* the killer's fault?
So, playing Lery's yesterday, the survivors are being super-immersive. Two gens go by and I'm struggling to find anyone. Eventually find a Nea, and down she goes. I put her up on the hook in one of the long bathrooms. No sooner had I left the room, she gets unhooked, so obviously I head back (had zero idea where anyone…

Game Map is disabled??
For the last few days, any offerings for The Game map have been consumed, yet in every case another realm loads up (no other competing offerings). I've also not come across The Game map in random rotation either? It's as though it's been disabled, but I've not come across any mention of it (unlike DDS which has been…

PC - Spirit Phasing on RCPD shows last survivor position on reappearance
You can see an example about 6s in, where Feng appears momentarily next to the gen. I thought I'd imagined it when it happened so said nothing. But you then see a much more blatent example a few seconds later. It seems the game is 'saving' the position of the survivors when Spirit goes into phase, and then restoring them…
-
I really don't get these Spirit threads...?
This is going to be a little high-brow, so please do try to understand the point at hand rather than resorting to the gutteral "nerrrrrff shpireh!!" With regards to the claim, "Spirit does not have counter-play", as a negative assertion, it cannot be proven! The only way to prove it is to take complete domain knowledge and…

PC - Harvester has an "invincible" area on Coldwind Farm
If you run up into the harvester on CW, and take the vault to the left as you go up, you'll land on a small platform where it's impossible for the killer to hit you from the ground (though you're absolutely in range). The only way for an M1 killer to get you is by going up and making the vault, at which point the survivor…

Killer Handbook 1.0
Rule #1 You play for your own amusement and enjoyment. Your role is not to babysit survivors, or pander to their needs and demands, or to adjust your gameplay to make it fun for them. You can if you want to, but it's your choice! You do not owe any survivors anything to make the game fun for them! Make it fun for yourself.…

PC - Game frozen while playing Nurse
Playing Nurse on MacMillan, nothing unusual. But for one game in particular it keep freezing. Icons, etc, responded, and the game unfroze the first two times after about 30 seconds, but on the 3rd time it remained frozen for several minutes so I had to close the game down (and got a timeout for it). After rebooting the…

PC - Spirit instant-recovery/down after pallet drop
Playing against a Spirit, I dropped a pallet on her as she hit me, and she managed to recover from the stun (ignoring the hit cooldown) fast enough to hit me vaulting over the pallet immediately. It happens right at the end of this clip. Killer's perks were Spirit Fury, Sloppy, Pop and Enduring, all level 2. They were…

PC - Nurse cannot attack after double-blink
On a fairly regular basis (roughly 10% of the time by my estimate), after blinking with the Nurse and pressing 'attack', she doesn't swing at all. You have to press attack repeatedly in the hope she will swing (which also negates her ability to lunge after blinking). Here's a recent example from an Otz game] at approx…

PC - DC'd survivor still "exists" in the game
This survivor DC'd for some reason earlier in the game, yet still remained present right up until the end (no collision though).

Someone please tell me... what in the entity's realm was that???
I'm not even going to try to explain... just watch and see

PC - Impossible to blink through balcony barrier on Mother's Dwelling
At least one of the balconies on the main house in Mother's Dwelling prevents blinks. This happened during the game, and I went back during the EGC just to confirm. Here's a video of it: https://youtu.be/mxIL0py52r0

PC - The Game - impossible to pick up survivor on basement stairs
I played as Nurse on The Game earlier today (v.4.5.2). The survivor was unhooked from the basement, and downed near the top of the stairs (about 2-3 steps down), right up against the inner wall (i.e. adjacent to the bathroom). Somehow, it seems like she'd clipped a little into the wall so she couldn't be picked up at all -…

[PC] Stuck on Suffocation Pit
On Suffocation Pit, to the left of the shack (when looking towards the mine), a hill spawned and two of us managed to get stuck together at the base of it somehow. Even when downed we couldn't move. The killer had to pick us up to allow normal movement again.

[PC] Nurse on Midwich is unplayable
There's a number of dead-zones that cannot be blinked through, resulting in wasted blinks and increased frustration. Here's a few from just one game: Maybe I didn't charge it enough with this 2nd example, but there's so many blocking elements around that it's hard to predict whether it would have worked anyway (e.g. the…

Could this idea possibly solve SWF advantage AND gen-speeds??
So currently every gen requires 80 charges to complete (with 1 charge = 1 second), so a solo person could complete a gen in 80 seconds, and two survivors can complete in 44 seconds (cos of 10% slowdown), etc. But not all gens are the same; some are solo, and some are even 4-man, though most are 2-3 man gens. How about…
-
Have the sounds been fixed??
I played a handful of games as killer this evening, and I swear I can literally hear the survivors now with some real accuracy. In one case, I managed to track a survivor through a complex path only by listening to her sounds, which I could never do before. I had 3 or 4 games in a row like this. I swear something has…

Wraith Mori Sounds broken (strikes are silent)

I've started tunnelling & camping... and I don't think I want to stop now!
I remember, way back in the day, I once complained to a killer that literally face-camped me that it was poor game-play from him. His response was one that stuck with me: "punish it by doing gens". I try to be a "fair" killer. I'm decent (Rank 1) with Spirit & Pyramid Head, but less so with other killers. And I like…
-
Gen-camping... for real??
So, I played Myers in Lerys yesterday, and got him up to infinite Tier 3, and killed off two survivors by the time we're down to one gen. This took about 5 mins or so. Thankfully, for whatever reason, the survivors had 3-gen'd themselves. So what do you think I did? I patrolled the gens, looking for activity, and whenever…

[PC] Weird Game: Survivor + Killer spawn together, EGC started early, and ended before timer too
This happened yesterday. One of the survivors spawned with the killer. Then, the EGC started randomly. There were 3 survivors left and 2 gens, so the hatch couldn't/didn't spawn. Even the survivors were asking why/how it started. And then, the EGC also finished early too. There was still a lot of time left.

Anyone else really disappointed with Pyramid Head's P3 head/pyramid??
The standard Pyramid/head looks pretty bloody already, so I was keen to see what P3 looked like. How disappointing to see that it looks practically identical to the original? They could have added so much more, bloody entrails or whatnot all over it, but there's little noticeable difference. Disappointing. I get there may…

PH stuck on Ironworks (PC)
There's a spot on the Ironworks map where I was chasing a survivor as Pyramid Head, and then randomly got stuck and was unable to free myself for several seconds. I didn't try to repeat it in-game. https://www.twitch.tv/playsbyshady/clip/SmallPlainCaterpillarDatSheffy

PC: Survivor hooked UPSTAIRS in Basement Shack??
Platform: PC Steps: Hook the survivor in the basement shack, they appear upstairs though. They can be hit by the killer. To unhook, you have to run downstairs in the basement and unhook them, at which point they 'land' upstairs and can run straight out. See clip here: https://clips.twitch.tv/VenomousSpinelessWrenPrimeMe

Why does Nurse suffer fatigue AND stun after being stunned by a pallet?
I don't believe any of the other killers who have cooldown on their ability go through the cooldown and stun, they just take the stun. The Nurse is already hit hard enough in having a fatigue, and then on top of that she has to wait for her blinks to now recharge. Adding a stun animation on top of that (instead of…

What's the difference between Badham maps 1-5?
I believe they all contain essentially the same structures that are always identical for the most part (school always has the same-ish layout, as does the house, and the bungalow with the basement), so I suspect it's just their layout in relation to each other. Does anyone have any maps or aerial layouts that show the…

Brightness fluctuation on Badham map(s)?
Please see this video, from 0:45 to 1:10 As you will notice, when the camera is rotated around, the screen gets visibly darker at certain orientations, whereas it shouldn't really. This is on 3.6.2, PC

I'm excited about the 3.7.0 update... and scared about things to come...
I play killer and survivor roughly 50/50 (killer when I'm solo, survivor usually when I have friends online). I think this new update is going to be great! For too long the maps have been survivor sided; they're massive and take too long to cross, as well providing a variety of god loops and potential infinites, etc.…

Training/Exploration Mode
Would it be possible to have a mode whereby you can explore the maps at your leisure without having to get into a game. I appreciate you can do this in a custom game, but the problem there being you need at least one other person for the game to start... and if you don't have any friends, then you're kind of stuck. There's…

Gen-Grabs on Dedicated Servers
So, since the transition to Dedicated Servers (DS, not to be confused with Decisive Strike... which would make no sense in this context), I'd say that at least 4 out of 5 gen grabs have failed to come through. The animation for the grab starts, and then is just cancelled and the survivor manages to get away. Grabbing from…

PSA re: Countering the Killer's Ability
I am so sick and tired of entitled survivors crying all the time that there's "no counter" to something the killer is doing. Not only is this patently false, but as a survivor your role isn't to counter the killer... it's to run, dammit!!! There's ONE killer, there's FOUR of you, each with multiple 'lives'. You're not…
