I'm very late to the party
My god is DBD a hot mess right now. I haven't played the game for months, but now that I'm looking to pick it back up again, I'm hearing about all of these game breaking bugs. Animation bugs are one thing, but the fact that generators are completing themselves for every survivor that dies should someone leave the match is…

Does Vecna completely change the game?
Vecna can choose between four different powers that each bring with it four complete separate abilities. These abilities can see him traversing the map quickly, anti-loop to completely block pallets, attack over long distances, and last but not least activate an ability that highlights where survivors are. If you were to…

Still no love for Freddy or Michael 😞
Michael Myers is the oldest licensed killer in the game without receiving any significant changes to his power, and people have complained for years over just how weak it is to play Freddy. The fact that neither of these killers will be touched in the upcoming patch is really disappointing. I personally like playing as…

Playing against bots can be a pain sometimes
It's funny, but I never thought that I would be complaining about bots! LOL I just purchased Chucky and I've been trying to practice with him, but it's proving to be really difficult because the bots always know where I'm at whenever hidey-ho mode is activated. I was playing on the red forest and I had hidey-ho mode turned…

Is anyone else having connection errors?

How fun would the Alien be if the devs thought outside the box?
Imagine if the Alien was the first ever killer that doesn't have a terror radius, and instead of a heartbeat survivors pick up motion trackers to keep a bead on where the Alien is at? To counter this the Alien would have to be faster than any other killer, but I would love to see the devs testing radical ideas like this.…

I'll be the killer you want me to be
Seriously, I don't know what it is with survivors as of late, but solo queue has been absolutely miserable. Survivors are either killing themselves on the first hook, or disconnecting. If switching to killer and farming is the only way to guarantee that I don't waste a blood point add-on, then I'll do it. You want to farm?…
-
Is disabling hooks still warranted?
When a survivor gets sacrificed to the entity, the hook disappears unless it's a basement hook, and sadly this sometimes creates dead zones in the map that can prevent killers from being able to hook a survivor should they not have a perk to help aid in that situation. Without hooks a killer cannot complete their…
-
Do you ever find yourself creating your own game modes?
After the recent event that saw powers being able to be used by both survivors and killers, not to mention fun perks coming with survivors like Nicholas Cage, it has definitely incentivized me to go against the grain and focus on fun instead of sweat. In most of my matches I play the game accordingly, but these days the…
-
Hooks
So I'm curious, after 7 years why is it that hooks continue to disappear upon the death of a survivor? Without hooks killers can't do their objective, and without hooks it creates dead zones that allow survivors to escape over and over again. Killers have only a matter of seconds to get a survivor to a hook too, so you…
-
Disconnecting bots = PvE
Is it at all possible to get a legitimate PvE mode with the bots? It could come with blood points and XP, but to incentivize players to play PvP, PvE would only come with half of the blood points and XP. I know that it wouldn't be the new mode that most would probably be hoping for, but it technically would be a new mode,…
-
Why does this have to be so difficult?
I know it's so much easier to earn masks playing killer, but it shouldn't be. It should be just as easy to earn with survivor as it is with killer. First three matches of the night have been absolutely abysmal. First match I get downed by Trapper at the meat plant and put in the basement. He then puts traps by both…
-
These masks are wearing me thin
Every time I get enticed into playing DBD again, the supposed "SBMM" always does a good job at reminding me just how poor of a job it does matchmaking gamers together. Now it goes without saying that as the night goes on the sweat gets more intense, but after 10 matches in a row of dying on hook (and not getting a single…
-
Depending on the killer, playing against bots can be rough
I want to be clear when I say that I love the fact that there are bots in the game. Being able to test killers in a stress-free environment is something that was long overdue. Having said that, the sixth sense that bots seem to have is kind of nuts. I'm trying to learn how to play the singularity, and every time I try…
-
Made for this + Hope is busted
Apologies everyone if this has been talked about ad nauseam, but I stopped playing for quite a long stretch of time, and only recently picked the game back up again during the anniversary event. I went to play my first killer game in months, which was Freddy as I like the character (which BTW I'm excited to hear that he's…

Survivor event
Why is it that in every single event, survivors have to escape in order to achieve a cosmetic? There's nothing more frustrating than playing a good match only to be sacrificed at the end with nothing to show for it. I'm not exactly a stellar survivor, but no joke I've played 10 matches in a row and have only escaped once.…
-
EMP question
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've played the game. I've been watching videos of the new chapter, and needless to say I have some questions. Probably the biggest one has to do with the EMPs. How is it that in order to obtain any other item in the game: flashbangs, infection spray, health spray, etc, you have to put…
-
Who exactly play tests for BHVR?
I know the devs play their own game, it's ridiculous to think that they don't, but what kind of feedback do they rely on to make changes within the game? This PTB has so many questionable changes that it literally makes no sense. How is it that when you take into consideration some of the strongest add-ons between killers…
-
There still needs to be an increase to base generator speeds
After this upcoming update, killers will have all but lost any substantial generator defense perks. COB, Overcharge, and PR have now all received major nerfs. Having a nerf to med kits is nice when it comes to chases, but four generators can still be completed within less than 3 minutes should a coordinated team have the…

Good lord that music is atrocious
How does anyone play skull merchant with that abysmal 2 second loop of chase music? People rightfully gave the reworked chase music for Ghostface crap because it was grating to the ears. How could they not? After all it sounded like a washing machine, and yet the skull merchant is somehow even worse. Seriously, gameplay…

Login rewards
Maybe I misunderstood this, but I thought that there were login rewards for the early lunar event celebration. I've logged in on both the 17th and the 18th and haven't gotten anything.

It's really hard to enjoy the winter event
I haven't been able to play a whole lot, and with only a few days left of the event I wanted to have some fun, chill matches. What a surprise that it was anything but. Trying to have a fun time with the snowmen is practically impossible when every killer and survivor wants to go full on sweat with the worst gen rush and…
-
Corrupt Intervention base kit?
Just a thought, but with survivors getting borrowed time implemented within their base kit, and the reveal of notification icons coming soon, not to mention BHVR teasing unbreakable possibly getting the same treatment, would it be too much to ask for killers to get a form of corrupt intervention implemented at the start of…
-
The bots showed me just how useless Legion really is
Wow. Just...wow. In the match I just played, the bots displayed just how useless Legion's power really is. The bots all separated so far from Legion that I could never get more than two hits in before the power ended. Now granted I was able to zone them out fairly well and get them down, but as far as getting five…
-
I would love to see more added to the bots
I'm having a lot of fun with the bots. It allows me a chance to practice with killers I've never played with, not to mention it's a great way to blow off steam after having a rough match. LOL Having said that, I'd love to be able to equip them with perks and items. They already search through chests so I don't see why they…
-
I'm so glad that bots are finally here today!
The last time I played a killer that I had never played before - Ghostface - it was against a 4 man SWF that could clearly tell that I had never played him before (or really killer in general), and they all proceeded to take advantage of that. They would flashlight click and teabag all throughout the match. Every time I…
-
God I can't wait for the bots
Say what you will about bots, but the crap you can encounter in this game sometimes makes me look forward to never having to play with people again. First match of the night our team goes up against a blight. After a few minutes one of our team members disconnects because they were found first. Boo hoo. Not too long after…

Does working on a generator with another survivor not count as a cooperative action?
For the last two matches the strategic alliance challenge in the haunted by daylight tome needs for you to perform a cooperative action for 90 seconds. Over the last two matches I have finished four generators with another survivor, and it hasn't budged pass 70, which is where it was at when I started the first of the two…
-
Are the bots tied to the next chapter release, or are they coming before that?
I am absolutely ecstatic that we are finally getting bots into DBD! It's sad that it's taken roughly 7 years to get it, but they are definitely a welcome sight to see! Currently I'm sitting on a handful of killers I've never played because I don't like to sweat when I practice, and sweating while practicing makes for an…
-
Are you enjoying the event?
This isn't a reflection on the event itself, I just know that for me personally I'm burnt out on the game. I'm tired of working on generators as a survivor (which I find boring), but I'm also tired of sweating sometimes just to earn a single kill as Killer. I enjoy the chase so I don't like having to rely on 4 slowdown…
-
Blood point incentives just aren't worth it if you're playing survivor solo
First match of the day, all four survivors encountered a sweaty tryhard Wesker who made it his goal in getting everyone into the dying state. The match was so unbelievably boring that everyone left with barely 5,000 blood points because no one could get anything done, but never fear for that 100% incentive doubled that. 🙄…
-
The game really wants you to be playing survivor
Not to say that every killer is playing super sweaty, but lately when I load up the game it always has blood point incentives for survivor. We're talking 100% blood point incentive. With that kind of incentive and BBQ being nerfed, I definitely don't want to be playing killer. But maybe I should because every single match…
-
Does anyone else feel that killer should just naturally come with a blood point incentive?
Ever since BBQ was gutted, it makes accruing blood points as killer a lot harder than it used to be. If you had a bad match, at least with old BBQ you could take comfort in knowing that the more hooks you've got, the more blood points you walked away with. But these days it's not uncommon to see survivors to get more blood…
-
Are daily login rewards not working for anyone else?
I missed logging in on August 11th, but August 12th was supposed to bring with it 50,000 blood points, but I didn't get anything. Considering other gamers are losing progress right now, not getting daily login bonuses definitely entices me to not play for the foreseeable future until everything is fixed.
-
Matchmaking incentives
In the developer update it was revealed that they won't be coming back for a while, so why not revert BBQ and WGLF in the meantime? Or better yet, why not revert those perks anyway? Without the additional blood points, it's becoming a worse grind than it was before.
-
Tips for playing Sadako?
These days I usually hold off on purchasing new killers. Simply put, I don't want to sweat my ass off when I'm simply practicing, which is why I can't wait for bots to finally be implemented. Because of this I usually wait until their perks are available for purchase in the store, however recently I purchased both Sadako…
-
Hopefully the matchmaking incentives come back soon
Playing with BBQ/WGLF was almost a necessity for me because I love accruing a lot of blood points. Now that the perks have been nerfed, the game definitely feels like more of a grind without it. It can take two or three matches to achieve what you used to be able to do in just one. I know BHVR said that they wanted to…
-
Anything other than slow down builds are still ill-advised
I love chase builds. It makes you feel like an unstoppable force, but it was nearly impossible to run prior to the update since all generators could be completed within minutes. Since the update went live it has gotten a bit better, but slowdown and regression perks are still necessary for Killers to be somewhat efficient.…

How do you purchase a specific perk?
I thought this feature was supposed to go live with the mid chapter, but I noticed that the shrine is the way it's always been. What am I missing?

Credit where credit is due
BHVR, thank you for listening to the community. These upcoming changes from the ptb for the mid chapter is most welcome news. Honestly, I have no complaints. Thank you for shaking things up, because it was sorely needed. The only thing that I'm looking forward to now is the bot implementation. Hopefully it comes sooner…

So how exactly has the grind been reduced if you're new to the game?
Tonight I played with a friend who had never played Dead by Daylight, and not having been a new player myself for some time, he raised an interesting point that I hadn't thought about before. I was telling him that soon unlocking perks will no longer be a headache since prestiging both killers and survivors will now unlock…
-
I'm done playing with new Killers until I can practice with bots
Apologies as I know I've said this before, but I decided to give the Dredge another go, and in my second only match with him I secured just four hooks and 0 kills. All I'm trying to do is practice, and this is the second match in a row where I've gone against survivors with full on gen rushing builds. Everyone brought…
-
Oh how I wish the mid chapter changes were live during the anniversary
While the increased blood points is nice, playing this game as a solo survivor or as a killer versus a SWF rocking the strongest survivor meta perks (and vice versa for killer), makes this game a real chore to play sometimes. The change to the meta has definitely made me more eager to play DBD, but knowing that it's still…
-
Whatever happened to the icon changes to benefit solo survivor players?
Solo survivor has always been pretty rough. While I'm looking forward to all of the perk changes, there are some perks like Spine Chill that really helped benefit being on your own. Now with the meta changing, can we expect the icons sooner rather than later? Anything to help being on your own would help immensely.
-
Has anyone noticed a difference in their killer matches since SBMM went live?
Killer used to be a sweat fest, especially for me. There's nothing worse than tackling a killer you've never played before against a well experienced SWF. Getting toxic teabagging survivors at the exit gate because they knew they could completely own you also made it that much worse. I was hoping for fairer matches with…
-
Kinda bummed that there aren't masks for every original character
Feng is my main, and not having a mask for her was really disappointing. It makes sense for licensed characters to obviously not get such options, but to not see every original character, or more specifically every OG character not get one, is rather disappointing. The masks that are available for both survivor and killer…

3.5 million blood points later and still no BBQ
BHVR, I hope you surprise us with the release of the grind reduction sooner rather than later, because this grind is absurd. I just unlocked the Dredge, and I had 3.5 million blood points saved up. All I wanted was BBQ, and all those BP later and I couldn't even get the one and only perk that I wanted. Absolutely…

Returned after a 4 month break...
... and things aren't any better. Killer is still a sweatfest, sole survivor is still a headache, and now there's rubber banding all over the place. I figured I would return for the event, but in the first three matches not only did I not find a single invitation, but the rubber banding was really annoying (more so than…
