Reduce the Number of New Perks
I know three perks per new character is the standard, but I think it may be a good idea to re-think this. The sheer volume of garbage/filler perks is becoming (or has long since become) tedious to deal with, and creating so many of them is probably a waste of labor at this point. If, say three characters are released in a…

Least favorite (not strongest) killer(s) to face?
Excluding SM, of course. That's a given, and that they are reverting the most need changes ensure that hatred of her will continue (as will people leaving her matches). But I digress. I'm talking about killers you just don't like for one reason or another (or for reasons you can't define). You just hate them, and hate…

Something in the water tonight
I've had four matches tonight where the killer slugged and bled out my entire team (no hooking attempts at all) and "humped" at least some of us while we were down. That's is more times than I had been part of such matches in my previous 4500+ hours combined. Two were high prestige Skull Merchants, so maybe they are just…

Skill Checks right when letting go of a gen
There has to be some way to get rid of this that can't be abused. Maybe I'm just profoundly unlucky, but well over half the time I let go of a gen, I almost simultaneously get a skill check (and immediate explosion). If I didn't know better, I'd think it was by design, lol. I've been at this for years and it's been the…

Can't redeem store code
I tried redeeming the DRAGONGIFT code in the store (PSN), and received the following error message: this code could not be redeemed due to a server error I redeemed three other BP codes without issue, but the above mentioned code did not work. I tried closing and re-opening the game to reconnect to the server, but to no…

Dear BHVR - Stop with the backpacks on outfits
A few of them (very few) are meme-y and funny, but I am sick of them. The new seasonal outfit for Yui is just the latest example of an otherwise great outfit nearly ruined by a big honking backpack. It's practically a trope at this point. It's gotten to the point where every time I see a cool new outfit I restrain my…

Re-visit Freddy?
I'm not talking about a re-work, I'm talking about implementing the OG Freddy and ditching the current one (or relegating to an alternate). To me, having such an on-brand Chucky really highlights what a pale shadow of Freddy we have in game. I know BHVR has come a long way in terms of being able to secure/attract licenses…

Repeated server connection drops
PS5 Over the past couple of days, between a third and half of the matches (at least 8-10 in total) I have been a part of have ended with a server connection error, with all participants booted. Crossplay on; whether the lobby is all PSN players or a mix, Whether I am killer or survivor,it doesn't seem to make a difference.…

Little Annoyances
So I was wondering what things people see in game that annoy them. None of the obvious, exhaustively discussed meta things like tunneling, camping, disconnecting, the like; but smaller stuff that grinds your gears. I'll start with a couple of mine: I don't see this one a ton, but when I do I get really annoyed for some…

Would fewer chapters be a good direction to go in?
To go quality over quantity? I have long been very forgiving and positive about new releases, and have been a fan of content that hasn't been the most popular. That said, this new chapter feels more like a rushed placeholder than fully designed content, for a myriad of reasons that are being discussed in detail. It's paper…

Saw something I never thought I'd see
One of those scenarios people claim, but are gross exaggerations. We've all heard them. Well I saw one I never had before: One of my teammates absolutely toys with a Bubba for a full five gens (something that almost never actually happens, though tons of people claim it), goes down on a cheap (latency, I saw it happen)…
-
Max Game Time
So it sounds like max game time is going to be reduced to an hour or less. My question is what people think the max game time should be. My opinion is that there is no reason a game of DBD should go beyond 30 minutes. I am not sure what the global average is, but the overwhelming majority of my matches are less than 15…

PSA: Don't Exit Gate TBag Wesker
If you are injured or fully infected. Seems obvious, but just saw a teabagging teammate get snatched up while doing this, and sacrificed. It was pretty funny, tbh.
-
Oni Blood Orb Bug
So I haven't played Oni recently, but I have heard tale (and seen video) where the Oni has been getting waaaay more blood orbs than he should. I can say from the survivor side I have been seeing a lot more of the Oni (not all or even many with the new skin), and they have been in their power a lot more than normal, so…

So Much Early Patch Judgement
Clearly, many people have been quite vocal in sharing their searing opinions (and opinions are fine when not stated as fact) on the patch, but consider: The patch just dropped, and has been mentioned a lot of people are adjusting and/or don't even fully realize what even changed. Many people are trying to push through with…

Anyone else getting easy matches as killer?
Since around reset, I have been getting stupidly easy matches as killer; I don't think I've ever had such a high percentage run of 4Ks in all of my time playing DBD as over the past few days. And it's not that I have been playing extraordinarily well or anything, most of the teams I have been going up against just seem…

Stop disconnecting you cowards
Topic First three surv matches of my night: 2 teammates DC as soon as they realize it's a nurse 1 teammate DCs at first down from Blight (under a minute in) 2 teammates DC almost immediately for reasons unknown Seriously, these people are the worst, I don't care for waiting in queue forever for that, thanks. On a related…

Visual Sound Cues for Hearing Impaired?
I am not deaf, but only have like 5% hearing in my left ear, which basically screws me when it comes to determining sound directionality and audio tracking. I can hear things, but generally not at all where the source of the sound is, and 3D headphones are pretty much useless. I really like playing as Spirit, but feel like…
-
General Anti-Camping Mechanic
I was thinking about how true camping in general could be addressed without depriving certain killers of their defining features. One thing that came to mind (apologies if others have thought of this before, it seems pretty logical) would be to increase gen speeds if a killer remains to close to a hooked survivor beyond a…

Bad Matchmaking Megathread
So there are so many threads made with anecdotes of horrific matchmaking, I thought why not try to consolidate? So I'll go first: last night I loaded into a match as survivor, against what seemed like a pretty good Oni (as streamer as well). The match was pretty high paced, with the action pinballing all around the map…

Common Forum Lies/Embellishments
What are some common things people say to support their argument/make a point that are almost always absolute BS/Exaggerations*? I'll start (and include how I commonly interpret them): "I actually play both sides a lot" - I played killer/survivor a few times - actual ratio like 95/5 "I ran the killer for 5 gens" - actually…

Switching from console to PC, soliciting advice
So I am in the process of transitioning from PS5 to PC (would like cross progression at some point so I can retain all my items earned over 2+ years, kplzthanx BHVR), and wanted to solicit some advice on my peripherals. I know all the PC gamers are like M+KB, duh, but I though I know this will trigger a lot of people, but…

Cosmetic Costs (auric cell only)
I think we need to find a way to lower the cost of the cosmetics. I appreciate the work of the art/design teams behind these, and know that that for the game to be sustainable money has to be made on these transactions, but the reality is, at least for me, that I just will not pay 1/3 of the price I paid for the game…

AFK Etiquette (Killers)
Killers, how to you deal with survivors who are AFK at the beginning of the match? Personally, I will usually smack them once, if there is no response, I will leave them be until the crow notifications start, and it becomes a distraction, that seems more than fair. On the survivor side, I used to see an AFK killer or two a…

Most juvenile/pathetic DBD player behavior
I am not particularly triggered by any of it, but I was thinking which of the big three typically complained about behaviors (in game) are the most childish, and what opinions were. So which one seems the dumbest to you: Teabagging Flashlight clicking Smacking a hooked survivor I would actually vote for smacking a survivor…

Stupid question about rift fragments
I am 99% sure I know the answer to this question, but can/do you bank rift fragments? I know it is more common to have the rift close before you finish it, but I finished the current rift weeks ago, so it seems like these rift fragments we are being gifted must just be disappearing into the void, unless they are being…

Killers - What Survivor behavior sets you off the most?
I would ask this of all players but I'm guessing the answers would all be camping/tunneling for survivors. But Killers, what thing can a survivor or team do that will cause you to abandon all polite etiquette? The obvious answer might seem to be teabagging/BMing (which I can easily ignore), but for me the one thing that…

Are more survivors DCing recently
Or is it just me? It seems like the rate of survivors disconnecting has spiked recently, and I am pretty tired of it. I Had a run tonight where over the span of 4 matches, 9 of my teammates DCed. You loaded into a lobby and into a game, play it out, even it you are getting spanked. Sometimes you'll have to face a killer…

Balancing ideas
I have been trying to think of general gameplay tweaks that might help playing killer not be an exercise in self-grief. Exit gate regression. I have been a fan of this idea for a long time. 99ing gates and having the whole team leaving them for minutes at a time only to return as a body blocking party and tap to open them…

Cross progression?
I am new to this forum but I am sure this isn't a new topic, but is there any glimmer of hope that we might get PSN/XBOX cross progression at any point? I understand many of the economic issues involved, but still hope to might be an option. I started playing DBD last year while in living arrangements that kept me from…
