Dev Update: April 2024 PTB Changes; Thoughts?
Developer Update | April 2024 PTB As the 7.7.0 Update approaches, we’ve prepared some adjustments after going through the feedback we’ve collected during the Public Test Build (PTB). [REVERTED] Victor no longer latches onto Survivors who are put into the dying state. [REVERTED] Victor once again latches onto Survivors who…

And So It Begins Again
I am unleashed in a new capacity, with a reinvigorated fervor. The time has come. My chains are broken, I take flight once more. For those who are unaware; I have migrated from Console.

All Things Wicked Review
The Perks: The Unknown's Perks are decent. Nothing crazy, but I like all of them. I've ironically gotten the most use out of the Undectable one. Sable's perks are...fine-ish. Her Self-Healing in the basement is alright, but the other two are problematic in entirely different ways. Weaving Spiders is probably the worst perk…

How Are You Supposed to Learn New Killers?
I don't really want to lose a hundred games in a row to learn Billy. I haven't gone back to learn any of the old Killers I didn't play because of MMR and the lack of a decent learning environment. It really sucks because Billy seems fun but I literally can't learn ######### in 5 minute matches. Just seems like BHVR's…

The Fact That Blight Got Buffed AND We Added a Pseudo-Eruption Meta Is Laughable
That's all. I've run into four Blight's running The Build (patent pending) with the new infinite rushes or Alc Ring. I'm just so glad we learned nothing from Eruption.

Can We Talk About How Chucky Is EXTREMELY Hard to See?
Pretty much just the title. Without any filters, he's just super hard to see on maps that aren't Coldwind. Not even talking about his oppressive chase power, just him straight up moving around is extremely difficult to track and I'm not sure if anything can be done about it, which sucks. I don't know if it's intentional. I…

As a Killer, You've Got to Stay Cool Under Pressure
Even when it seems like you've lost...stay frosty. Also the 999th edition of "just leave" and to be clear, I did close Hatch :)

Want a Live Example of Why People Are Burnt Out of DBD?
This. No insults to anyone in the match, they clearly have different priorities and that's fine. That being said, when you get teammates that don't do gens and then do things like this, it's extremely demoralizing. You have a Killer that excels at camping and I'm put into an instant-loss scenario through zero fault of my…

Feeling a Lack of Innovation
I have felt for years that DBD has refused to innovate, but I've held out hope that they'd snap out of it and surprise me. However, due to the most recent Q&A, I feel that they have zero interest in innovating and are content in mediocrity. This genuinely upsets me because I know where it leads. It feels like the only…

I Think DBD As A Casual Game Is Dead
Not much to this. I don't think the game can be played at an average casual level anymore. I don't think you can really come home from a long day at work and play a couple of games on either role without the game being more trouble than it's worth. Whether it's problematic Killer designs that are unfun to play against…

Please, I Beg Of You, Fix the Servers
I've checked. It's not my internet. I can't play Survivor at all and I certainly can't play Killer in good conscience knowing that I'm going to get sent to Asia or Europe. Seriously, fix it. It's been like this for over a week and I'm genuinely annoyed by it now. It was kinda funny at first, but now I just don't want to…

Something Needs To Be Done About Lobby Dodging
I just got dodged NINE times and ended up in a lobby with a scumbag Feng (on Anon Mode, of course) who body-blocked me inside of Midwich's Bathroom. Love that after I got slugged until bleed-out by a SM after everyone EXCEPT for me DC'd. I want to try to enjoy this Paragraph, but Jesus, it feels like every game has been a…

Highest Win-Streaks on Each Killer
Thought I'd do something different today. I was in a thread a couple days ago and someone told me that Killers couldn't put together high winstreaks. I showed them a couple, but they called me a liar, essentially. So I went looking for the longest streaks and then today, when I saw this handy-dandy spreadsheet on Reddit by…

The Continued Ignorance of Performance Issues Continues to Hamper Player Fun
Recently, it's been getting more and more difficult to enjoy this game and to look over the glaring issues. The Console port of DBD has shown that the game is extremely poorly optimized, and performance will continue to get worse unless BHVR addresses the issues now. I fear that soon, the game will become unplayable for us…

I Am Once Again, Lamenting Survivors Poor BP Gain
Most of my Survivor games, at the moment, end with the majority of players getting less than 20K BP. Even with the 100% bonus, that's less than I normally get in one match as Killer. I find that to be extremely unfortunate and definitely unfair. I do not care to comment on the balance of the two roles. I think that the…

Puppers, one of the OG DBD Streamers, has passed on.
Wasn't really sure where to post this, apologies to the mods if it isn't allowed or needs to be moved. This is just so ######### sad. I hate that the best I can say is that I hope his passing is easy and pain-free. Puppers was one of the first DBD streamers I watched back in 2017 and it's just devastating to see someone I…
-
Rant
I play whatever role the BP bonus is on, so usually Killer since I play late at night. I've decided that even if there's a bonus for Survivor, it's not worth playing. I've not had a single game in 3 weeks where someone isn't tunneled out prior to two gens being done. Sometimes it's me, sometimes it isn't me. It doesn't…

Literally Two Hours Into the Event For Me And.....

Singularity BloodPoint Gains
There are a lot of issues with Larry right now, most of which stem from EMP's being far too good. I'm considering making a post about some of my ideas on that, but I feel that the topic has been done to death. That being said, another issue I've found with him is his rather lackluster Deviousness point gains. Even after a…

Another Funny Little Clip of the Survivor Experience
Just a funny little clip. Claudette had been actually throwing the game (get it) by throwing every pallet for zero reason, hence why our teammate DC'd. The gigachad Bubba decided he didn't want me and facecamped Claudette. Also, his build was absolutely ######### deranged. Dark Devotion, Dissolution, Unnerving Presence and…

Basekit Unbreakable Confirmed To Be Scrapped
Finisher Mori is still being worked on, basekit Unbreakable is done. I wonder if they are still looking at ways to minimize some of the more...unfun strategies (slugging til bleed-out).

POV: Fast Gen
They definitely caught me off guard with that one lol. From my estimation, that's about a 20 second gen. Probably the fastest I've seen one pop in a bit. They definitely came to play, but I don't think the outcome of the match is super important. Just a fun little post that I wanted to share :)

Wesker Xbox Crash Bug
Xbox Series X. After grabbing a Survivor with Wesker's Bound whilst said Survivor was at full Infection and full health, the Survivor DC'd. This caused Wesker to freeze in place and caused the grunt he makes when he grabs a Survivor to play in a rapid fashion. After about 5 seconds, my entire Xbox shut off. This is the…

Three Skull Merchants Tonight
Would anyone like to guess how many of them held a 3-gen? Would anyone else like to guess how long the games were? I think I figured out why some people enjoy playing her that way. One of them was streaming and had a "Skull Merchant Rage DC counter" on display and when I asked them what it was for they said something along…

Should Boil Over Be Reworked?
My vote is yes. The perk only affects a specific subset of players (those on Console) and it affects them to the point where it is still impossible to hook people if they have it on certain maps. It's pretty much the only perk that I am genuinely upset at seeing in my matches. Thoughts?

Just A Reminder, It's Been 4 Years Since 60 FPS Was Promised
All the way back around this time in 2019, BHVR told us they were going to get the game running at 60 FPS for Xbox One, PS4 and low-end PC's. Unfortunately, those Dev Updates appear to be gone. I've found mentions to them but they no longer appear to exist. It's been a long time since then and performance has managed to…

Looks Like the "Crashing" Issue is Still Alive and Well
Played against a squad of three streamers. All of them on PC, main guy had quite a few viewers. Two of these people were on Steam, the other was on Epic. Two people DC'd while they were running, just completely gone. No pause, no running in a diagonal line, just straight up disappeared. I "crashed" at the very end as well.…

DH Now De-Activates Upon Usage, Regardless of Successful Activation
Very significant nerf, imo. It has a capped usage, requires a Safe Unhook and will be removed upon any activation. Considering how often I see failed DH's and server rollback DH's, this feels like a very strong nerf. Thoughts?
-
Community's Thoughts on This Potential Change to Both Pain Resonance and Dead Hard?
I'm mostly okay with the nerf to PR. I like that it encourages hooking different Survivors instead of tunneling. However, I feel that the effect no longer warrants it being a Scourge Hook perk. It should be changed to simply be a token-based perk, without the extra pre-requisite of finding a Scourge Hook. This will make…
-
Bit of a Rant
I know why people play like this. I understand that they've likely just come off of a very bad game. However, holy ######### ######### dude. Immediately tunnel someone off of hook, hold a 3-gen, slug to death. I get it, you need a bounce-back game but some people get WAY to into this power fantasy. I'm not allowed to bleed…

Can Someone Do Some Math? Genuinely Curious About Self-Care
How slow is the heal with Tier 1 Self-Care and the following perks: Full stacks of Leverage, 2 stacks of Pentimento, Coulrophobia and 10 stacks of Dying Light + Mangled.

Survivors Average BP Gains Should Be Increased
That's all. Even with the bonus at 100%, I still find Survivors who often get less than I would if Killer had no bonus. The BP discrepancy should be reduced, is there any reason why it shouldn't be?
