A Dive into Gen Regression
I got recommended this video on YouTube and although none of the information in that video was new to me, it does put things into perspective when you do such a side by side comparison between instant regression and regression over time. A lot of these numbers are arbitrarily high because in a normal match your goal won't…

#MakeTheGloveSharpAgain
Freddy, oh Freddy, what do you see? Chasing shadows in dreams, another futile spree. You reach for Claudette, but she's always ahead, while sneaky Jane hides with Head On in a closet. Freddy, oh Freddy, what has gone wrong? In this endless nightmare, you don't truly belong. No lunge, now power - what's left in your grip?…

Scratch Marks
I haven't played a whole lot of DBD recently so I don't know what exactly was changed and when but I can say, that I am finally able to track scratch marks again. They no longer seem to disappear randomly and they also don't blend in anymore, which makes playing killer feel so much better. Thank you, devs.

Constructive Criticism to the Devs.
I want to start this by saying, that I do not mean to insult or belittle anyone and I hope my words will be understood in the way I mean them. The devs don't have an easy job and most of us probably have very little experience when it comes to coding and managing a game with as many mechanics as Dead By Daylight. They also…

Did they do something with hit validation?
Now, I'm not mad it happened (though it's weird when it happens 3 times in 1 game with my ping being fine) but lately I've seen a lot more instances of hit validation. Especially on Huntress. I try to go for long distance shots and sometimes I hear and even see the hatchet connect but they don't lose a health state. There…

Knock Out - An overlooked Issue
As you all know, slugging for the 4k isn't exactly fun to play against. You just lie there on the ground and wait for something to happen without the threat of dying or coming close to it in 60 seconds. But at least it's not something the killer will do every game and it's also not something they'll be able to use as a…

The most important Killer Tier List
We have long since debated how strong or weak killers are. We have had debates about how evil or nice they are but we haven't really answered the most important question. If all the killers in DBD were to participate in an armwrestling contest, who would win? The rules are: No weapons allowed Every contender fights alone…

Things That Grind Your Gears
Hello there. What are some things that grind your gears in DBD? I don't mean anything horribly unbalanced but more like some slight annoyances. For me it's: Dumb Techs with Lithe. Not a major problem or something that desperately has to be fixed but man does it feel bad when Dumb Techs are actually viable. 😂 Facing the…

Freddy Mains, I summon thee!
I'm at a loss. 3 years worth of experience and a few thousand hours in the game and I'm honestly at a loss. I really have no clue how to deal with this. I've been playing a lot of Freddy over the past couple days and I noticed a trend. Survivors will just keep on holding Shift + W against me and use exhaustion perks that…

About MMR
I apologise in advance, that this will be quite a wall of text even for my standards. 😥 MMR was introduced to DBD around 2 1/2 years ago iirc. Since then, the devs have made some adjustments and now it is rarely brought up in discussions anymore. I remember at the time it was introduced, I absolutely hated it. My matches…

A possible nerf to WoO
I know that this is technically a suggestion but I would like to focus on discussing it and see how my idea could be improved, so I'd very appreciate, if the mods don't move it to Feedback And Suggestions. Thank you. WoO has been discussed quite a bit. There are people that really like it, there are people that hate it and…

Fixing potential Issues
With the upcoming buff to DS we are going to experience a higher pick rate of this perk. This will also lead to more players using it the way OTR was used right after the buff. We have seen this exact issue before, so this is not a theory but a fact. There have been arguments about whether or not to fix these issues and…

Twins are still bugged
PC. I played 2 matches as the Twins and in the second one (map was Mother's Dwelling), after about a minute (I think it was after the first time Victor died by a kick) whenever I played as Charlotte, her movement became laggy and she started to rubberband. This only got worse when I pressed buttons other than "W". It was…

Matches since the Event started?
How have your matches been since the event started? Mine have been pretty terrible. It might just be me playing worse than usual but I'm currently on a 17 loss streak across different killers, escaped only 1 of 7 solo queue matches I played and struggle with the event visuals. So my matches have not been very enjoyable…
-
Rant
Since the event started I have won exactly one game as a killer because someone felt the need to suicide on first hook (and I still barely managed to get a 3k). 22 of my killer matches were losses and I got 3 draws. And it's not just that I lost these games. In almost all of them, the survivors refused to finish the last…

Questions for P100s
I have read many times that survivors do not want their prestige to be revealed in the pre game lobby. The reasoning behind it is that killers seem to tunnel P100 survivors quite frequently. I personally don't have a P100 survivor, so I cannot speak on this. However, it seems unintuitive to me because we also have people…
-
Hide Prestige
Upon reading lots of different posts that claimed, that high prestige survivors were tunneled or lobby dodged, I made a discussion to ask how bad this issue really is. I personally don't understand why high prestige would make a difference to some people because you could just as well play a character for thousands of…

Pig mains, I call upon thee!
In case you have missed the latest dev update, BHVR have decided to buff (nerf) the Pig. The idea is to make her chase power, the ambush, a bit better and compensate for that by nerfing the traps (RBTs). However, the buff to her ambush is minimal. They applied the following changes: Increased Ambush duration to 2.3…

How do we buff solo survivors?
It's no secret that many of us would like to see some more solo queue improvements. However, it's not as simple as "just buff solo queue". What would you buff, that only helps in solo queue? The purpose of this thread is to explore different options and maybe work out some suggestions for the devs. One idea, that is often…
-
Possibilities for a Chat Wheel
There have been a lot of debates over the years how to help solo queue survivors and bring them closer to a SWF. While the gap can never be fully bridged it can definitely be mitigated. One option for that is a voice chat. However voice chats can easily have the opposite effect and make solo queue even worse. Nobody likes…

Random DBD facts you probably didn't ask for.
The purpose of this thread is not to shame BHVR or anyone else in any way. This is just a post with a few things I've noticed about DBD and things that happened in the past. What do you do with this information? Absolutely nothing. 1) Out of the 34 killers, there are 3 that have been reworked twice. Hillbilly, Sadako and…
-
Hillbilly Changes
I'm not overly surprised that Hillbilly got some changes again but I'll be honest, the nerfed recovery doesn't feel great. Could we try it with 2.0 m/s first? That is about 1 second more that it would take the killer to catch up after the recovery, which allows that survivor to cover 4 metres of ground more than before. I…
-
Dev Update Feedback
With the dev update out, I wanted to see what kind of changes would be made from the PTB especially in regards to Sadako, Blight and the Hillbilly. Sadako I understand, that her PTB version with locked in condemned did promote tunneling and that this is not what we want. However, this change is pretty terrible because it…
-
If this is what happens when we nerf Blight...
then what would happen if we buffed him? I'm sure you've all seen the nerfs to Blight's addons on the PTB (if not, go and check it out) and I think we have been pretty clear about what we think of this. So this isn't a thread to shame the devs but to joke about how we could buff poor Blight to help him out a little. I'll…

Opinions on GoJ
I only saw little glimpses of it before. Now I actually got to suffer through this atrocity and it's even worse than before the rework. The few weak pallets on that map were replaced with some that are just stupidly strong and the main building is almost the same as before (so still broken). Does anyone think the map has…
-
Suggestions for the upcoming Hillbilly changes
With the announcement of the Hillbilly update in january, many players were quite happy. There have been a lot of suggestions of what should be done. From removing the overheat to just an addon pass and even some pretty big changes, everything has been suggested. But no amount of buffs or nerfs will really help this…

I was wrong again...
When Chucky was released, I was positively surprised. I wasn't really excited beforehand but when I played him, he was pretty fun. His power offered something to mess with survivors and a fun and powerful attack that could work around many loops in the game. Now they limited his max turn to 90° and pretty much killed what…

Themed Builds and Play Styles.
Every once in a while I'll try to come up with some kind of theme for what killer, perks, addons and play style I want to use. A while ago I invented Bodyguard Bubba with Dark Devotion (Bubba takes his work very serious and devotes himself fully to it), Lethal Pursuer (It is important that Bubba finds his client quickly),…

Scratch Marks are still a problem...
I've been enjoying Chucky for a couple games now but I have one big issue, not with Chucky but with scratch marks. They are incredibly hard to see as of late. There have been quite a few changes over the years and it was discussed before but I can't accept one of the core game tracking mechanics not working sufficiently. I…
-
I was wrong.
Shortly after Chucky was announced to come into the entity's realm I said I wasn't looking forward to him. That had little to do with me not wanting a new killer but with me not being interested in the license. I watched the first Child's Play film a few years back and to me it was more goofy than anything else. My…

DBD moments of all time.
Many of us have spent quite a lot of time in this game and in that time we have seen our fair share of things to remember. Like the first time we got steamrolled by a comp Nurse or (in my case) a Spirit. Or maybe you vividly remember that one Dwight that got found by the killer and slowly entered a locker as they…
-
Freddy, a Nightmare indeed.
As some of you have already seen, Freddy got yet another nerf on the PTB. Now, don't get me wrong. If something is not working as intended, then it is understandable that BHVR fix the issue. However, in Freddy's case we are talking about something that made little difference and only made him a bit nicer to play. A while…

The Journey to P100.
Yesterday I finally joined the ranks of P100s. It took me more than a year and gave me more than a few rage induced headaches but I'm finally done with this particular grind. But I'm not here to brag about it. Reaching P100 is something we can all do simply by spending our hard earned BP on one character. I'm here to talk…

Gimme a Challenge!
I recently had to take a break from DBD due to some technical issues. Now that I'm back I feel I really want a challenge. I have all the characters in the game and all killer perks unlocked. But I'm working on doing the same on survivor. With that said, what are your favorite meme / crap builds and challenges. I'm in for…

Change One Thing about DBD
If you had the choice to change one thing about the game, disregarding balance, what would it be? I'll go first. When I started playing I remember the old Coldwind maps being my favorites. Not because they looked beautiful or were well balanced (because they weren't) but because they looked ugly, unsettling and made me…

Event Void as a new realm!
BHVR, you have truly done an amazing job with the visuals of the Void! I just saw it for the first time in a stream and I'm in awe. This is what your maps could look like. The atmosphere and color scheme are outstanding! I beg you, please don't let this go to waste. It looks very different from all the current maps in the…

Forum Points
If you have a look at your forum profile, you'll notice there are points. Does anyone know what they actually do and how to get them? I couldn't find anything about them in the forum rules.

Should killers see hook stages?
Question is in the title. Honestly, I see no reason why the killer shouldn't be allowed to see the hook stages. It wouldn't really make tunneling easier but it might help killers, who want to go for as many hooks as possible. I personally don't have a lot of trouble counting hook stages but I did experiment with it before…
-
Scratch Marks
Greetings, people of the fog. It is no secret that BHVR have adjusted scratch marks quite a few times and there have been a lot of people talking about how these changes made scratch marks pretty hard to see. For a while now, I've struggled with identifying and following scratch marks. I have even tried different color…
-
Killswitch?
So is the killswitch not working or did I really just play against someone who hasn't closed their game once that entire time? Because they brought a flashlight. They didn't find it in a chest but they brought it into the match.
-
What do you consider tunneling?
Yesterday I had a match on Eyrie of Crows as Bubba. I played pretty chill (no slugging, camping or deliberate tunneling) and got to 6 hooks pretty quick. Then I stumbled upon one survivor that was dead on hook. I pretended, that I lost them before hitting them with the chainsaw and hooking them. They died at 7 hooks. Fast…
-
Chase Detection
PC In a match as the Hillbilly on Ironworks of Misery today I encountered an issue with chase detection. Throughout the entire game I did not start a single chase. I ran after the survivors and got hits but the chase never actually started. This happened again in the game after that as the Cannibal on Lery's Memorial…
-
Hot Off The Press
The backpack build is toxic! I was doing the archive to carry survivors 180 metres far and then this happened: Kate later wrote: "Shame on you." because I was using this build. A bit hypocritical when she was the one that actually disconnected from the match but I guess someone as toxic as me shouldn't complain. 😉 I'd say…

Why is it always P100 Fengs?
First off, this is not meant to insult anyone. If you are a P100 Feng then that's good for you. Don't take this too serious. I'm not sure why but whenever I have a P100 Feng in one of my lobbies I pretty much know how the game is going to go. The killer will find a survivor, down and hook them, then the P100 Feng gets…

Nostalgia
I just watched a video of someone playing on old Haddonfield. I hated it back then but for some reason I want this horrible map back. I don't know why but I somehow preferred it over the new one. The lighting was something very different from what we have on other maps and even though this map was terribly broken I still…
