Question about cheaters
I was just in a match where the killer was obviously cheating. Teleporting all over the map and one hit downs. Had every survivor slugged within 5 seconds of the match starting. Every survivor died on first hook immediately. The whole match lasted under 30 seconds. My question is why would anyone even want to do that?…

Confused
I don't play DBD very often anymore but I was just in a match where something happened I don't ever remember happening before. The killer in this match was a Legion. He would be carrying one survivor on his shoulder and still able to run fast enough to catch other healthy survivors while they were running. This happened…

Survivor play style
I haven't played DBD myself in quite awhile. Some in my house still do so I still see it played frequently. I am noticing a lot of survivors playing in a manner that seems intentionally antagonistic towards other survivors. Examples: 1 - I have watched multiple times recently where 2 or more survivors are in the same area…

Question for those that play on PS4
Do you have any issue with hitting your button for skill checks not working? I can hit the L1 button to run and it works fine. Immediate response. It works perfectly in every menu. However, it never works when hitting it for a skill check of any type. It's like it just doesn't register that the button has been hit. I have…

Skill check not working
Play this game on PS4. When I click L2 in game it never works. It's like the button is not even functioning. However, it works in the menus and other screens. I've remapped the button. I've deleted the game and reinstalled. This has been going on for at least a week. Even the latest update didn't fix it.

PS4 controller bug
The L1 button has a huge delay (between 1 and 2.5 seconds) for me on PS4. It happens both ingame and in the menus. None of the other buttons or sticks on the controller have any delay at all. I have tried the controller on the PS4 menu and with 3 other games. There was no issue with any of the buttons or sticks in any of…

Thanks BHVR
Today was my first day playing DBD after taking a break for a few weeks. This time the break didn't help. While it's not the same game to me it once was and I simply don't find myself enjoying it anymore I am truly thankful for a game that gave me the enjoyment this one did for so long. I've never played a game on a…

Multiple issues since RE update
I play on PS4. I do not use a VPN. Since the latest update I constantly get booted from lobbies. I get constant "no network connection" messages even though there is no problem with my network. Literally every other game and network related thing in my home works without issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. The…

Server issues?
Is there a major issue with the game right now? I've been kicked out of multiple lobbies because of "unknown error". I've gotten the error about being unable to update my player. The only 2 times I've gotten far enough to get past the lobby the message about a player leaving before the match started has popped up as soon…

Trying to understand why things don't get fixed
Standing next to a window. The indicator on screen clearly says pressing r1 will make me climb through the window. I'm not moving. Not even touching the sticks on my controller. Press r1 and throw down the pallet nearby despite the indicator on screen clearly telling me another action will take place. This type of thing…

Weird DBD account glitch on PS4.
I haven't had much opportunity to play DBD the last few weeks. A quick match here or there. Finally had time today to sit and take my time. To my surprise I have a level 50 Elodie with several of her cosmetics. I haven't purchased Elodie much less any of her cosmetics. My first thought was I'd been hacked. However it…

Watching a Newbie play
Have a relative visiting and I have introduced them to this game. He's playing survivor. He's gotten messages from other survivors a few times calling him a bad player for various reasons. He looked at me and said "These people play like they don't have a brain in their head. Do they honestly think they are playing smart…

Fellow Survivors
Here's the scenario: It's down to 2 survivors. Only 1 generator left and you are working on it together. Killer finds you. You are the one he starts chasing. Here are 2 thing you can do: 1) Not intentionally follow the other survivor 2) Intentionally follow the other survivor One of those things is a good choice for both…

Survivor Queue Time Differences
I play this game as a survivor main. I tend to hover between ranks 7 and 10. I am waiting significantly longer in lobbies the last couple of weeks. There's one person in my house that stays below rank 5 survivor and hardly has a wait. We even have a fairly new player in the house that hasn't gotten below rank 15 yet and…

Lobby Issues
I have been attempting to play DBD for 45 minutes this moring. I got put in a lobby almost immediately. However, there were only 3 survivors. Just sat and sat and sat. Finally left that one. Almost immediately stuck in another lobby where there only 3 survivors. Once again just sat there for several minutes waiting on a…

Survivor actions that leave you confused - and possible explanations
What things do you see survivors do that you simply can't understand. I'm going to ask everyone to refrain from calling things stupid and such as I am hoping to see people explain doing things others don't understand. Explanations are generally more clear when people don't feel attacked. I'll start.... The survivors that…

"Abusing" a perk or strategy
It's intriguing to me that people think you can "abuse" any perk or strategy that isn't against the rules. Examples: I despise slugging. I especially despise when a killer uses it from the start as their whole strategy. It's the thing I hate the most about this game. As a matter of fact I hate it so much that I would quit…

If you are one of the few survivors that doesn't immerse when it's down to 2.....
First I say thank you. I appreciate another survivor that still tries to finish the objectives and escape. Second thing is I have a suggestion. If you are downed and the other survivor has been doing nothing but hiding don't wiggle when the killer picks you up. Many killers quickly realize you are giving them the…

Post game messages - Why?
While I don't get many messages after a match I always wonder why anyone bothers to send them when it does happen. I could not care less if someone else thinks I played a good or bad game. I don't care if they don't like the way I play. On the flip side I don't expect anyone else to care what I think of the way they play.…

PS4 connection issues?
Played 2 hours of another online game this morning with zero issues. Switched to DBD and got booted from both my first 2 games for not having a connection. Switched to a third online game and played it for an hour with zero loss of connection. Tried DBD again and got booted from my first game for no connection. Anyone else…

Survivors Intentionally Sabotaging Other Survivors
Just had a match where one survivor followed the others around and started fast vaulting through windows and/or running in and out of lockers the moment another survivor started working on a gen. This wasn't some newb or something either. I made sure to check username and this person was a level 8 survivor. I support just…

Survivor Stealth / Slug counter perk builds?
Survivor main here: I love playing stealth. I'm not immersive, but I'm good at stealth. My build has been spine chill, urban evasion, poised, and iron will until recently. It helps me knock out gens even when injured and not get caught. I've decided I want to change things up a bit though. I don't want to completely give…

A Perspective on the Balance in DBD
The real balance issue in this game is between SWF and solo survivor. Killers are stuck in the middle of a balance that is impossible to acheive in my opinion. As a survivor main I have played both SWF and solo queue. SWF is heavily in the favor of survivors. SWF have it pretty easy against all but the best of the best…

Lack of strategy or am I missing something
I'm the first person hooked. A few seconds after I'm hooked another survivor comes running up to unhook me. The killer comes out from hiding and takes him down. Killer leaves this one slugged next to the hook. I watch as the killer goes and hides again. A few seconds later one of the other survivors comes running up. Not…

Hilarious Post Game Messages
Was just in a match where it was down to 2 survivors and 1 gen left to complete. The 3 gens left on the map were close enough the killer was able to make it extremely difficult for us to get any of them completed. Couldn't work on a gen more than a few seconds before you were run off of it. The other survivor ended up…

DC's - maybe not always the reason we think
Obviously lots of people DC after getting hit, hung, or slugged. Since I couldn't believe there are many people that DC every single time they get hit or hung I decided to look into the events before the person got hit or hung. What made a person DC after having one of those things happen at certain times and not others?…

Killers farming or playing just to complete a challenge
If you want to farm or play a match solely to complete a challenge that's your prerogative. However, I have exactly zero interest in taking part in those types of matches. So if that is what you plan to do at least send a message about it while still in the lobby. If I get your message while still in the lobby I will…

What kind of people.....
Just got done with a match where the other 3 survivors followed me around from the start. 2 of them eventually trapped me in a corner. The other one started fast vaulting in and out of a window to get the killers attention. Once the killer got there it was obvious they were all working together. He walked up behind them.…

Unsafe Hook Removals Should Not Be Rewarded
The points system for survivors currently rewards unsafe hook removals. For an action that takes a very short time to complete you get 1000 points plus you likely get away without even taking a hit. It doesn't matter that you willingly threw another survivor under the bus. If they happen to go a few seconds without getting…

Survivor Perks Used Maliciously
I've played this game a long time as a survivor main. Recently I've been looking at perks other survivors use just to have something different to try. I have noticed something about 1 perk in particular. If you play survivor very much at all you have been in those matches where one survivor seems to somehow always run the…

Suggestions To Improve the Last Two Survivor Scenarios
We've all seen it. It gets down to the last 2 Survivors and 2 things are highly likely to happen: 1) One or both survivors no longer even attempt to work on generators. It becomes a game of hide and seek because working on the a generator makes you the target and you won't get a chance to find the hatch and escape 2) The…

Killer pairings - Serious question for Devs
Is there anything about the way a survivor is paired with a killer in the lobby could have somehow created a glitch causing a significantly higher probability of a specific player to go up against a certain killer after crossplay was implemented? From the moment crossplay was implemented I see Doc repeatedly. I've kept…

To Killers that punish jerk survivors
Thank you Had a match earlier in Midwich. It was down to the last 2 survivors. I was completing the last totem. It was in the room with only one way in or out. The other survivor sees me. They are not being chased. They turn around, drop a pallet somewhere near, and immediately run back and block the door before I can get…

Have you had someone be terribly offended you don't respect their style of play
I was talking to an acquaintance yesterday that also loves this game. When he plays killer he exclusively uses Myers and his strategy is to slug from the start. He tends to slug one person, stay somewhere close, and slug other survivors as they come to help. He doesn't hang anyone until he has all 4 survivors slugged…

Looking for Very Specific Survivor Perk Build
If you have played survivor much at all you have run into this scenario. Only need to finish 1 gen. There are at least 2 survivors left. All the other survivors have went into hide and seek mode. They will do a totem. They might even heal someone else, some won't even do that and risk a blown skill check. The bottom line…

Slugging Third Survivor
As a PS4 player I obviously saw this strategy fairly frequently even before crossplay. Since crossplay started though..... Wow! Almost every single game I have played if it gets down to 2 survivors the killer is going to slug the 3rd survivor. While I think there is something that needs to change in that scenario it isn't…

Guide to the Unwritten Rules about Disagreements on The DBD Forums
1) Do you have a thought as it pertains to this game? If someone expresses a different thought that means yours is merely an opinion (a wrong one) and theirs is indisputable fact. 2) Do you refuse to acknowledge the superior intellect of the person disagreeing with you? You are an entitled survivor or killer main that just…

Can someone else's bad connection cause me to lag
I just got done with a match where the only time I experienced lag was when the killer was close, and then it was the worst lag I have every experienced in this game. After being hung I was even going back and forth between being on the hook and beside the hook. Every time the killer would get a little bit away it all…

Other Players Don't Owe You Anything
Really trying to figure out the mindset where people think others players owe them something. Just had a match where a survivor pulled me off the hook the moment I got put on it. The killer immediately hit me and hung me again. The killer didn't even attempt to go after the other survivor. They just stood right there…

Anyone else rank change drastically today?
Two days ago I was a level 10 survivor. Rank reset hit yesterday and I was a level 13. Played a few games yesterday and brought it back down to 11. Open up the game today and I'm a level 19 survivor. Not a huge deal unless it keeps happening. I can work my way back down. Just wondering if this happened to anyone else.

Crossplay starts and the only killer I see is Doc
Up until today I've only ever played this game on PS4. I would assume that means I've only played against killers on PS4. While Doc isn't necessarily uncommon on PS4 he wasn't a killer I saw more than every few games. Today almost every single game has been against a Doc. Is Doc a lot better on PC or something? Not a…

The reason I'm losing interest
1 generator start to finish - 80 seconds - 1250 points. Average another 300 for skill checks - 1550 points. That's less than 20 points per second for what should be the primary objective for a survivor. 1 totem - 14 seconds - 1000 points or 1500 if hexed. That's over 71 points or over 107 points per second depending. Hook…
