The Root Cause
I've personally come to the conclusion that biggest issue with this game on both sides is the utter lack of tools, mechanics or resources available to make a comeback from a dire situation. It's honestly the worst PVP multiplayer game I've ever played when it comes to this issue. Almost every other game I've played you at…

As solo queue survivor, this event has completely burned me out from the game.
The instant hooks, the free enduring, exposed, speed bursts, lopsidede BP earnings, remote pallet break......just all these things make it almost impossible to complete even just 3 gens, let alone all 5. It's bad when even SWFs are saying they are finding it extremely hard to complete all the gens in a match. I was really…

This event is awful for survivors
1/8 the bloodpoints for survivor vs killer, even if the killer plays bad and the survivor has a perfect game. perks that completely counter anti tunneling perks…so now every killer is tunneling hardcore bc there's nothing to stop it. it really goes to show how completely one-sided BHVR has become, its like the survivor…

is this banable?
a killer brought me to a corner of a map next to a bed and proceeded to imitate ######### me. As a victim of this in real life this has left me seriously distraught and triggered my PTSD, it instantly reminded me of my experiences, I don't think I can play this game anymore, is this something i can report a player for?

The death of this game will be the learning curve that BHVR continues to make worse for new players.
It won't be a broken killer, it won't be busted perks, it won't be unbalanced sides or bugs....it will be the inability of new players to learn how to play the game. Most people can argue this wasn't much of an issue 3-4 years ago. The perks were very straightforward, and there was a pretty decent balance between new…
-
This is most poorly thought out patch I've seen BHVR push in a long time.....what is going on?
-Non existing cooldown Billy is truly overpowered, did BHVR just forget why they introduced a cooldown in the first place? Is everyone new there? -Menu screen that literally nobody asked for and was designed beyond poorly...like come on guys...is it that hard to design a freaking game menu? you have hundreds of thousands…

BHVR mentioned the 3 gen solution will never impact "normal" matches....yet that's a lie
The 2 other changes that were implemented due to the 3 geb solution will frequently happen, likely in pretty much every game....the removal of gen tapping and the extra kick damage from 2.5% to 5% will be relevant. So why does BHVR feel the need to basekit buff killers (again...) to compensate for something that should…

How many players have to quit playing before BHVR fixes solo queue? Huge drop in players...
Looking at steamcharts, this game isn't looking too good. 28k average players and dropping, the lowest it's been since 2020... Players, and your community leaders have been stressing that solo queue needs help, weather it be informational, basekit perks, perk chnahes, or major ganeplay changes, yet BHVR has stuck to thier…
-
Does anyone at BHVR even care about about the survivor aspect of the game anymore?
Patch after patch, same old boring perk mechanics, or perks that literally nobody is gonna use. This upcoming patch especially is just awful, it's like they spent a total of 5 min slapping ideas up on a whiteboard and then called it day. Will survivors ever get anything exciting? It's a survivor only release DLC and the…
-
has BHVR just completely given up on solo queue? The last AMA made it sound like they have...
Was seriously surprised by the response by the devs in that AMA. When BHVR announced the status icons in the twitch event they mentioned it would be one of many future changes to improve the solo queue experience. The community managers here were insanely excited to announce the status icons too and said it was a thing…
-
Has BHVR ever gone on the record to explain why they allow killers to see survivor prestige levels?
It makes no sense why BHVR decided for killer to see prestige in a lobby in the first place. They have repeatedly gone on the record to argue against adding other viewable information such as who is in a SWF, or hook states in a match, or a person's MMR rating. Every time they argue that it would be abused, killers would…
-
For the love of God BHVR, can you please clarify what holding the game hostage is?!
Mandy - An action that puts a player in a situation where they cannot do anything to progress the game is against game rules... Peanits - body blocking a player or a situation where 2 survivors no longer do gens and hide. Do y'all not realize these two statements contradict eachother when you're talking about 2 survivors…

Boons were released in 2021, and then nothing since has been released to shake up survivor gameplay.
Just seems like BHVR has completely abandoned trying to come up with new ideas to shake up the gameplay on the survivor side. I mean I get it, cool skins and gameplay fixes like the status icons, anti camp and upcoming 3 gen fixes are nice, but why have the developers just completely stopped trying to implement exciting…
-
Release solo queue and SWF death rates.
Your 60% average kill rate for killers, and balancing the game around that, is a completely flawed approach when solo queue survivors are making up the majority of those deaths. A 10% increase over 50% is magnified SIGNIFICANTLY, across solo queue teams, it's not not a 60% kill rate against solo queue, I imagine it's more…
-
How many killer perks is BHVR going to release that are completely busted?
Ultimate Weapon is free information for doing nothing but opening a locker, you don't even have to do anything in your objective, on small maps it's GGs since it hits everyone. Now we have friend's till the end and again, spoon-feeds killers a free down, has so many negative effects that it's stronger than most 2 perks…
-
Proposed rule change to deter intentional unsportsmanlike conduct.
I believe more can be done to address toxic behavior that detracts from the intended gameplay experience. Actions clearly intended only to taunt, humiliate or prolong a match in a negative way could warrant warnings or temporary bans. For example, survivors waiting at an open exit gate when no other survivors are in the…

What is a community manager/liaison's role? Why do they seem so disconnected from the community?
Over the years of playing DBD I've seen a lot of questions go unanswered, or if they are answered, it's just a copy/paste from the patch notes or it's generic enough to not provide any information at all. From my perspective, community managers are supposed to be the POCs between the developers and the community. But I…

The final nail in the coffin for Solo queue players.
I'll be literally going from only seeing the exit gates open 1-2 times for every 10 matches to probably never. This is how you kill a game, I don't know who is making the final decisions up at BHVR but they definitely don't care about the survivor experience at all. It's almost comical how one sided this new patch is. I'm…

Hard 3 gen, neither side wants to move, is this a holding the game hostage situation?
Killer immediately went to a 3 Gen on the map, the 3 gens were extremely close to each other. His build was setup for it and he's a speedy killer so getting any progress on the gens was basically hopeless. We pop the 4 gens that we could, he wasn't chasing anyone and not once left the area at all. we attempted at first to…
-
can someone list even one benefit for allowing killers to see survivor prestige ranks? Cause I can't
Ever since I started focusing on leveling up my survivor to respectable levels I've noticed killers either A. Dodge the lobby multiple times making me wait longer B. Go into the match as sweaty as can be, instantly tunneling and camping right at 5 gens because they believe high prestige survivors ='s skill....which it…
-
Why is the horrible solo queue experience so largely ignored by the Devs?
Anyone with experience in this game, your own fogwhisperers, and top content creators of this community will all agree that the solo queue experience in this game is freaking awful. the fix is deadass simple. Bridge the gap between solo queue and SWF, then buff killer to make up for it. Information is useless to SWFs, they…

Were no tomb 13 clips for Mikaela and Ghost Face on purpose or a bug?
I just noticed both of those stories don't have clips at the end to unlock. Has the art department decided to stop doing clips for every story or can we expect to see those clips released at a later date? Just found that odd as all the previous tombs up until this point have had a clip to unlock. I main Mikaela and ghost…

Killer with a power than can turn survivors against each other.
I've always thought this would be super cool. The killer could be a werewolf or something. When the killer gets a hit with his special attack the survivor becomes infected similar to the wesker or nemmy infection. Survivors can cleanse the infections with something similar to plague fountains but a lot less of them, the…

New BHVR forum bugs.
Not sure if you're tracking this or not but I've found two issues with the forum recently . All of these issues are on a s22 ultra mobile device, not sure if they are still there on the desktop version, but switching to desktop mode on my phone doesn't fix it. 1. I can't see what I'm typing in the search box. And…

Great job BHVR, new Solo Queue changes are great! But don't stop there! Keep going!
Hello, I just wanna say thanks for addressing the issues with Solo Queue. QoL improvements for this side of the game are VERY MUCH needed and I'm sure a very large part of the community is breathing a sigh of relief just knowing BHVR is putting effort into improving this experience. I know the game will need some time to…

There hasn't been anything for survivors to be excited about in over a year now...
The last time survivors were excited about an upcoming patch was in October of 2021 with the hour of the witch patch. It gave us a neat new character with perks that were completely different than anything ever released before. Although the boon totems were initially released pretty overpowered, it was still a really neat…

This onryo slugging strat is getting reallly freaking old BHVR....
At this point I literally don't even care how much you buff her to make up for it. But this BS where everyone is spending half the game on the floor has just became completely annoying. It's getting to the point where I'm just going to DC every time I see it, the match is going to last longer than the penalty anyway,…
-
this game has become way too hard for new survivors
I can't get any of my friends to play longer than 2 days before they just uninstall. you've nerfed the escape rates to the point that it doesn't even require skill at all to play as a killer. escapes are incredibly rare. And with as many killers in the game, playing as survivor now takes a month of research to learn what…

BHVR, please don't give into these streamer demands and shift focus to changes that only affect them
We've all see a recent bandwagon of these streamers protesting DBD for a supposed cheater epidemic. I'm sorry, but this isn't affecting the community as a whole. A recent poll on Reddit showed that a overwhelming majority have not seen an increase in cheaters and most people have only seen 1 or 2 cheaters in thousands of…

Why were the exit gates blocked? Wesker had no addons, perks or power that said this would happen.
Can some explain what happened here? if this is legit why does nothing at all say this is a feature with wesker's power?

Survivor challenges play a huge impact on why solo queue is unfun to play.
A significant majority of survivor challenges cause survivors to "throw the match". The most optimal way a survivor team can win a match is by doing generators when they are not being chased, taking turns running the killer, the healthiest survivors making saves, and only cleansing totems when it's significantly impacting…

Make the total amount of earned bloodpoints visible in postgame summary. Core + Bonus
The current incentive system isn't really advertising how many bloodpoints are being earned by the side that needs players the most. As a result this doesn't advertise to players that they should switch over to the side that needs players the most. Currently the bloodpoint incentives are applied as bonuses, and the post…

It saddens me that after all these years BHVR is only capable of seeing 2 sides of the game
Survivors and killers, that's all BHVR ever acknowledges when they talk about things like kill rates, the balance of perks, or user experiences. But the truth is that this game has 3 sides. Killer SWF teams Solo queue survivors It hurts my head grouping SWF statistics and experiences with solo queue players. And now it's…

Came back after a month of not playing DBD....yep, solo queue still feels absolutely awful
Figured it was just in my head and I was getting frustrated with the game while playing solo queue. It was just match after match of just awful gameplay, tunneling/camping killers. I actually felt really really optimistic about playing and I was actually excited to play the new RPD and against the new killer. 1st match -…
-
I feel like BHVR is just trolling at this point...
Patch 6.1.1 We made killers faster, stronger, better! Solo queue was by far the worst to play, but we decided to buff killers instead with no QoL changes to solo queue until next year. We also nerfed all your perks and will be giving deadhard to our new killer, lmoa k bye. Patch 6.1.2 It has come to our attention that a…

Since onryō isn't being killswitched for her facecamping bug, is this now reportable/bannable?
I saw a discussion recently where Mandy explained what was and wasn't a banable offense in regards to holding a match hostage. In that discussion she mentioned that exploiting bugs now typically don't lead to players getting banned because BHVR can now killswitch them. Well...this killer has been reported multiple times…

Lament Configuration still unsolvable in some matches
Why is this bug not acknowledged still by BHVR, I was under the assumption this was fixed many patches ago to stop chain spawns on survivors who are trying to solve the cube. I've experienced 3 matches now this week where solving the cube was literally impossible, chains just kept spawning immediately after they are broken…

The Onryo needs to be kill switched ASAP until this is fixed.
She can phase into the hook and block anyone from making a save on a player. see video and another

This effect could be a little oppressive on certain Killers...we all know you're talking about Nurse
Enough is enough, can nurse PLEASE get re-worked so she isn't bottle necking and breaking the game for every other killer in the game? Nope....instead Devs hold back perks or nerf them so nurse isn't even more abusable than she already is. Survivors hate her and they are sick of being matched up with her. Every killer who…

This game just isn't fun anymore. I stuck it out, it's still unfun, community liaisons ignore issues
It really sucks because I've put so many hours into this game, I truly was invested and enjoyed the game a lot. But after these recent changes the entire state of the game has just overall felt really really bad. Between waiting in the crazy long killer queue times, survivors just straight up killing themselves or DCing…

Gen progress hud bars and status icons. New player perspective.
As a new player the hud is unbelievably confusing. There are a number of other fixes I would change, but the biggest one that by far confused me the most was the generator repair bar. It took me so long to figure this out, and I think it could be changed in a way that promotes gen repair and teamwork. Right now the bar…

Will you continue to play Solo Q Survivor if the Mid Chapter patch makes it worse than it already is
-
Survivor challenges promote awful gameplay experiences and force players to throw the match.
I don't understand why the Devs constantly put these types of challenges in the tombs. Why do all the killer challenges involve the killer just playing the game normally, yet you put challenges like "Hide within 10 meters of the killer for 60 seconds" in the survivor challenges causing you to be completely useless the…
-
Why is facecamping with the cannibal still a thing? Why are devs ignoring it?
I've been playing for a year now, and one thing that strikes me as odd how this is still, after all this time, this is still in the game. When boil over was changes the developers quickly nerfed it because in some circumstances the killer had no way to hook a survivor in certain areas, they had to let the survivor bleed…

What am I supposed to do in order to get myself out of low MMR?
I put about 1.5k hours into killer, and then recently switched to solo queue survivor to learn that side of the game. I've got about 300 hours so far in survivor, watched a whole lot of YouTube videos on how to loop tiles, and I feel like I've become decent at it. timing myself when I enter a chase, I on average can loop a…

Killer main or Survivor main?
