I'm Craving Such a Girthier Bird
In short, I need a real thick lad and it feels funny that we don't have one yet. I've always been a huge (huge) huge fan of Pyramid Head and one thing that's always been absolutely awful about him is the length of his power. Sure, it satisfies, sometimes, but so often (As I'm loathe to admit) it falls just an inch short,…

I Don't Hear Trumpets Today.
God I love smashing pallets against the Wraith so much. He sounds like a distressed Elephant that just stepped in mud. It's such a wonderful sound. But lately every time I go against Wraith's they like to do this thing where they run super into the Pallet while stealthed so I can't gently boop their cranium with a teensy…

Healing Builds Seem Unideal in Solo's.
I wanted to get others opinions on this just to see if this is isolated, or if it holds true for everyone. I've been playing with healing builds just to see how fast I can get them, and see how often I can max altruism points. In the few 2-3 SWF's games I've been apart of they've been absolutely phenomenal, game changing…

Eruption Encourages Tunneling
I know this isn't necessarily an original take but it's definitely something I've been noticing. There's this constant gameplay loop of a killer getting their first down, leaving to kick gens, then returning to tunnel out. In my observation that's because Eruption only works if you can snowball kills, and tunneling the…

What Would it Take to Make a Teleportation Perk Fair?
I have an idea in my head for a perk that allows a survivor to setup a teleporter and then one time use it per proc. Could require it to have a condition like 45 seconds on a generator similar to blast mine. What would it take to make it balanced and work? Obviously a distance limit matters, something like 24-32 meters? So…

Do You Have a Killer you Try to Impress?
For me at least there's some Killers that I actually loathe. I feel a lot of their mechanics are 'meh' and in the past I used to sweat really hard to 'show them' but even trying my best against them isn't fun. Spite can only carry you so far, and at a certain point I just get filled with apathy. It's not that I throw…

Can Cheater's See MMR?
Ran into a very unsubtle cheater, it was obviously a burner account and it was a Dwight that was capable of instant transmission. Zip zop on a gen, zoobity bop, hook rescue. Saw it all on Kindred. In the post game he told me that my MMR was very low. Which to be honest, since I don't like to sweat and run meme builds a lot…

Killers You Could Take in a Fight.
It's just you sitting alone in a room only illuminated by the screen. Suddenly you get an itch, a feeling, that something terrible is about to happen. With a nervous glance out the window you see a silhouette of a familiar face, 'No it can't be...' Then you hear a sound, a familiar comfort in the soundscape of the game but…

"The Office" Crossover
I had a sudden realization that the timing of me getting DBD was in perfect concert with The Office coming off of Netflix. I needed something else to spend my time on. With the recent AoT and PUBG crossover I've noticed that killers aren't necessarily a requirement for a crossover anymore. Who would you want to see in an…

How are People Finding SWF Bully Squads to Join?
Like whenever I play with my friends it's always the dumbest stuff you'd ever seen. 'You're playing Nea?' 'Gonna play as a Nea as well, you aren't gonna see me until hatch time.' - 'Where's the Killer?' 'Main building.' 'Uhhhhh what map are we on again? Yamaoka right?' 'Dude this is Badham.' - 'Oh man I'm gonna sweat SO…

I'd Love a 'Prestige Box' Option.
Having to spend 30 minutes blowing through 3 Million BP on reset makes me wish so much there was a better way. I would consider it an insane quality of life fix if BHVR added something like a 'Prestige Box' where you just spend 1 Million BP to get a character prestiged (-20,000BP for each level already earned toward it.)…

Anybody Out There Into Wesker?
To be open and honest this community has an issue with keeping their enthusiasm to themselves sometimes. With such nicknames involving 'Daddy Mikey' and 'Vommy Mommy' we know exactly where a lot of people's heads are at. We've all run into people unashamedly using usernames such as 'Ghosties Boyfriend' and 'Rin's wife'…
-
Would you Buy Gender Swap Skins of Existing Killers?
I would absolutely be on board with that. Imagine a male version of the artist, instead of a sharp and shrill shriek you hear a more dull and feral version of it with each bird placed. Obviously I am in love with the idea of Dredge having a female form using beautifully painted masks or mannequins for figure and form. A…

I Bought Stranger Things on Stadia.
I missed the last minute sale by a few minutes so in a moment of panic I found out that Stadia still had it for a little longer. I bought my Demopup, linked my accounts and then it's worked fine on Steam this entire time. Will I be losing the doggo?

Think We'll Ever Get a Vore Killer?
We kind of have it already with Demo's and Dredge's Mori, but I mean vore as the core mechanic of their power. Clown kind of counts but he's more about post mortem cannibalism than actual vore. Would FNAF count as vore or do you think he'd end up being a jump scare killer like hag and doctor? Edit: Just got hit with a…
-
Lisences You Never Want to See
What killer or lisence would immediately cause disdain or outright revulsion from you if announced? Hard to say because in horror some of the worst stuff becomes classics because of the campiness. Immediately what comes to mind for me is Medium. Just really didn't vibe with it at all beyond the fantastic visual…

"I Know you Pig"
"I know you Piggy, I used to main you. I know exactly what you are capable of, and what you are incapable of is killing me. I will not allow that." Man if only she didn't Mori me that would've been such a tough guy line I would've remembered with great pride for the rest of my life. Instead I turned myself from action hero…

'Please Don't Disconnect.'
I know suiciding/DCing/AFKing has been a problem for a while now in tandem with excessive Camping/Tunneling but something about tonight has really just been awful tonight. Out of about 10ish games I can think of two games where everyone had a chance to have fun. One of those two was a 4k, but we all actually had the agency…

Moments in Solo Where Others Make SWF Plays.
Sometimes you get a godlike moment of synergy with randoms that killers can only conclude came from a SWF. I know often times solo's do... questionable things, but I'd love to talk about times when things fit into place perfectly. I just had a game where me and 2 others were at the exit gate. I was injured and so was…
-
Quick Vent.
Last night I queued into a game, there was a lot of back and forth between our team and the killer until it ended in 1 gen left, me and a Rebecca. We had One generator at about 60% and wire tapped it. The killer came for us and I managed to get his attention and pulled him as far as I could. I managed to use just about…
-
"I'm Just Gonna Camp Harder."
I got matched with a t.tv Killer today who was a camping ghostie who appeared to be rather popular. I managed to get two excellent reassurance plays today (I know, right?) Where he would camp and stalk me while I approached. Right before I went for the rescue I just reassuranced and then lithed away. In both cases it…

Killer Concept: The Doppelgänger
Hello everyone! I've been working on a passion project for this fan killer for far longer than I have any right to but I feel like it's in a place where I can finally show it off to the world. When making this killer I tried to design the story to match the powers, and the powers to be not only balanced but fun. I know…

Do You Think a Gorilla Would be a Good Killer?
Naturally just shoving a Gorilla by itself isn't a good killer, obviously there would have to be some primal based power and some other elements to make them horror. But to make the argument FOR a basic Gorilla we can take the fundamentals of horror antagonists and make them apply here. Horror relies on the concept of 'the…

Anyone Else Seeing Subtle Speed Boosts?
I've been winning a lot of my games since playing nurse and I've noticed a huge uptick in survivors that just seem to inexplicably get a small boost of speed out of nowhere and just not be in range anymore. I've started noticing it on other killers too. They're in range, I swing, they nyooooooom for the length of the…

Nurse is so Easy.
People literally DCing and suiciding at the start of games. Easiest 4k of my life. If it keeps up like this I might actually start ranking up to where I'll start getting absolutely curb stomped. I don't actually know how to play Nurse TBH, but they didn't know that.

Saw a Baby Bully Squad.
4 Head Ons, 3 Flashlights, and oh my god so much teabagging. It was obvious they were lacking in proper coordination and having issues with timing. For example their locker flashlight saves were a little over zealous, their head ons a little early, their altruism a little too aggressive, and the pallet stuns were just a…

Trying to Figure out a Fan-Killer Power.
I'm working on a fan-killer for funsies. I had an idea for a killer power involving pallets as both their power and counter play but it just doesn't seem to feel very fluid. Like I'm missing something obvious. The killers primary power is a form of stealth so this other power is just their way of closing chase. Similar to…
-
Perks to Confuse?
I'm on Legion and I'm running etched Ruler, Stolen Sketch Book for add-ons. For perks I'm running Furtive Chase, Dark Devotion, Insidious, and Tinkerer. I also ran deathbound a bit but it was hard to see any real effect from it. My goal is to just confuse and boggle the enemy team, as long as I make one or two good plays…

New Slowdown Legion is Fun.
I stopped playing killer a long time ago because it was way too stressful and not fun at all. Today I tried a Slowdown Legion and it was honestly great. Games were averaging 18 minutes (I set a timer.) I am not great at killer but I had a lot of time to compensate. I didn't feel the need to camp or tunnel, I was just more…
-
How Often Do You Find Survivors Just Looking Around?
I keep finding myself doing the silliest jukes and successfully hiding when I absolutely shouldn't have gotten away with it at all. Many times I'd be standing right in the sightline of the killer if only they turned 90 degrees after walking past an obstacle. I can't even count the amount of times I've just prayed the…

Went Against a Pyramid Player Yesterday.
It was a fantastic time. Pretty sure he had range addons, and he was definitely decent but was still falling for a couple of basic Pyramid jukes (Baiting the power then running.) He got a 4k but man I still loved the time I spent with my Triangle Father. I just love gushing over Pyramid Daddy so much. I hate that I so…
-
What Would You Think of a 4th Hook State?
I was thinking of this perk idea and wanted to see what other people had to say about it. What if there were a perk that offered a 4th hook state. However with great limitations. From '3rd to 4th' hook (in lieu of dying outright) they would have 15-20 seconds of struggle. If rescued they're afflicted with the broken status…

Please I Don't Want Flan, I Want BBQ
Just dropped 2 mil at level 50 bloodwebs for BBQ. Please let me see my precious baby on the new killer. I don't even like Dredge that much, there's no way I'm getting any ROI from this. I'm all out of BP, no BBQ and this is all I have to show for it.

This Week Was Finals Week
Whenever I got a moment to pull myself away from projects, testing and studies, et cetera. I kept hopping onto Dead by Daylight. 'Oh yeah! The weekend before reset this will be a great way to wind down. I'll go ahead and play some Killer or Solo Queue. This is the break and rest I definitely needed!' Man I should be a…

Do You Think Dredgy Will Have a Mommy Waifu Form?
So I was thinking Dredgy is actually a lot of fun, genuinely I'm having a blast in ways I never really had before. Even on my most frustrating games I feel great being able to just zoom between lockers and get the same thrill Billy players get when they just wanna go fast. They're also super nice aesthetically, humanoid…
-
Am I Panicking When I go Against Dredge?
It feels like Nightfall is incredibly overwhelming. Low field of view, lots of audio queues (like the faint screaming), new unfamiliar map, new creepy killer. After two matches against Dredge I couldn't play anymore, I think I was too stimulated or something. At the end of the second game I just sort of gave up. I couldn't…
-
How often do you locker?
I never really locker ever unless I suspect bbq. But my friends do it very regularly. I see it as high risk high reward and if I'm stealth try to hide in places that won't get me insta grabbed. But it seems to work for them. When I'm killer I'm honestly surprised how often I find people in random lockers, like it's just an…

Joke Ideas for In-Game Events
I've started putting together a small group of friends to play with to avoid solo queue and I'm trying to write jokes to sprinkle through my games to add humor to. If anyone would like to give it a shot I'd love to get some more ideas for new jokes. Some examples of what I've come up with. Flashlights - 'Better take me to…

Can Someone Give me Permission to be Selfish?
I know that's a weird thread title. Since clearly I shouldn't care what other people think. I have been playing solo queue survivor for a while now and it's a very painful experience. People throwing, disconnections, playing poorly, or just suicide the second things go bad. That's not to mention the people who just don't…
-
I Don't Care if I Bleed Out.
Do it. I've seen some killers talk about feeling badly for being "toxic" by bleeding out survivors when they use boil over. I've been running it and honestly, if you bleed me out good for you. That's pretty much the best way to handle it. I've got one unbreakable and then after that I'm just a slug vibing for the rest of…

What Kind of Power Would Feel Rewarding?
I've been working on a fan killer for a little bit now. I've got the artwork done, the story done, the rough idea of the power and everything. But I'm trying to get some last minute ideas so when I post it on these forums it'll be the most polished concept I can provide. One thing I've noticed with Killer's is that their…

I've Been Playing Kate Today.
Specifically to try out boil over. I've been slugged every single game I've played today and also left to bleed out. Makes sense honestly, but besides being slugged I've had zero opprotunity to actually utilize this perk at all.

Huntress With Noed
I had a game yesterday where the huntress tunneled the heck out of me. Just from the start she wanted my sweet Cheryl booty, as soon as I was unhooked she waited out the borrowed time then hit me again. Even with body blocking from my team she got me on the hook and there I stayed until the end. Thing is. All the gens were…

Man Solo Survivor is Rough
After losing count of the amount of times I've been left to hit struggle on first hook, or even die on first hook, I'm starting to understand better why some survivors just would rather kill themselves early on. Save themselves the grief. Not to say I've done it yet. But like I kind of get it now.

There Needs to be More Pyramid Head Players
God I just get so excited when I see Father Triangle, when I hear his music, when I see his massive blade dragging behind him. It's all I can do to restrain myself from walking up and booping him, it's almost as if for a fleeting moment before he's allowing me to stroke his sculpted chest. Then the sword comes down and…

What Are The Areas To Improve on (Killer)
So I was thinking of just trying to isolate each part of my gameplay, and try to focus on that in games. Even if it means throwing, I just want to focus on one thing, get good at it, then the next. My idea being that as I master each element individually I'll become more skilled and well rounded in general. What elements…

Most Annoying Perk/Item Combo you Can Think with a 4-Man SWF.
Now to start, I don't actually have 4 friends who play DBD, get along, and are decent at the game all at the same time. Regardless I wanted to put thought into this hypothetical. I wanted to work on a team build that was just 'Be as obnoxious as possible to the killer.' This build I have for solo's is a flashlight, head…

Birds are Scary.
Jesus I don't know if it's just me but the Artist is genuinely upsetting to go against. The off color of her map, the inhuman noises she's making, the warped proportions, the crow motif. It's absolutely distressing. I'll pay BHVR to never have to see her again. God damn.

We Need Ways to Emote With Killers.
I hate that the only thing you can do is teabag, point and beckon. If you try to point at any killer that isn't Pig I feel like they get confused. They've never been shown affection before and don't know what to think or do about it. I'm fine if they kill me, but I want Pyramid Daddy to know that I was not bullying, I only…

I'm Doing my Part
But I still keep reading the message boards anyways, it's a lot of fun to read about the game. Almost funner than watching someone else play it.
