Why are (Western) killer tier list placements based solely on the lack or presence of an M2 attack?
And also mobility or perceived chase power (didn't have enough room in the thread title). I think it's strange that Otz, for example, includes Plague as an A-tier killer based, by his own admission, primarily on the fact that there are one or two specific builds you can run on her that make her massively overpowered, and…

MfT needs to be killswitched.
They killswitched Clown back when he had a bug that gave him an infinite speed boost with his yellow bottle. I don't see how that's a whole lot different from the current state of MfT considering that there's currently a bug that causes chase to not activate in one-fifth of the games I'm playing. MfT is overpowered to…

What did VHS do wrong?
Video Horror Society, the much-touted "DBD killer" that's been in early access for a year or two now, is shutting down. 1 - Aesthetic VHS was aiming for the 80s synthwave/90s VHS rental horror vibe, which is trendy these days, but trendy for a reason - it's a whole lot of fun. They just forgot the "horror" part. The…

Make Your Choice isn't even fair on Xenomorph
And I love it. You can hook someone next to a turret, jump in the tunnel, mark the exit you just came out of, and move across the map (pressure a gen or just hide in the tunnel and wait). I get a down almost every time, especially if the survivors were dumb enough to heal at the hook.

PC - Myers chase does not trigger some games, speed stays at T1
I've had two games in the past two weeks where chase wouldn't trigger with Myers after getting into T2. When hitting someone for the first time, chase triggers, but then it drops Myers back to T1 speed even though he's in T2, making the match unplayable.

Is the loop on Garden of Joy infinite with MfT?
Had a game today where a Vittorio was running DH, DS, and MfT with a Garden of Joy offering (and he had a toolbox with BNP, too, of course), and I was not able to catch the bastard. I realize that Garden of Joy's main building is an obnoxiously long loop in general with 2-3 pallets and double windows survivors can…

{FIXED} PC - A bug has caused mass deletion of characters from many accounts.
When the latest update dropped, a lot of us lost characters and cosmetics. I think a moderator here misunderstood the nature of the issue, as it was previously acknowledged as a bug and fixed as a bug when the same thing happened the update before that:…

Deerstalker is meta now.
This perk has just been free kills all morning.

Half of my characters are gone again.
There was an issue last update that affected former Stadia users and caused half of our purchased characters to disappear. It's happening again. I dig the new killer portraits, but me and Dead Rabbit Mikey wanna equip Deerstalker and go hunt us some Nichoals Cage.

Kill rates are down. Survival rates are up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? In my killer games, my kill rate is down quite a bit, and, conversely, my escape rates when playing survivor are way up (to the point where I'm comfortably surviving half or more of my games despite not knowing how to loop and just not being very good at survivor in general). I think that…

Can't use drones as Skull Merchant
Just had a game where the option to use drones just never appeared. L2 didn't do anything, so I was just a basic M1 killer on Coldwind. (Still whipped their asses, even let the last one go when they set their flashlight down - something I almost never do - but they still wanna talk trash in the EGC.) FTR, this was on…

QoL Suggestion
One QoL improvement that I'd personally like to see for solo queue is a screen during the endgame showing how much time was spent by each survivor on a gen. There's nothing more surprising and delightful than to load into a solo game and find that everyone else in the game is actually halfway interested in completing the…

I changed my mind about new Pain Resonance.
I hate to admit that I was wrong, because I'd much rather keep being grouchy about all the things I don't like about the new update, but I was. I had called it a C-tier perk even with the extra 25% regression, but that's really only true if you're playing with it exactly the way you played with old PR (using it as early…
-
Remember: If you don't see an exhaustion perk, tunnel right off of hook.
If there was one thing that might have salvaged this update even after the healing nerfs were reverted, it was the death of DH. Now that that's clear that that won't be happening ("a powerful reward for those who have earned it", they said), and it will instead be just as powerful as before, except that it can't be used…

"Demon hours"
I've heard multiple people refer to the middle of the night as "demon hours" in DBD, and I'm beginning to wonder. If I play in the early-to-mid evening, I'm almost guaranteed to get a group of friendly casuals who I can wreck so quickly and effortlessly that I almost feel bad for playing like a complete #########. But from…

DBD Realpolitik: How to become a truly great killer?
"You have to be willing to go to a level that people aren't expecting. So, yes, I violated a corpse to get ten dollar garden shears." — Rocko the Dog, "Dan and the Garden Shears" All we ever talk about on the damn forums is what's wrong with everybody and everything else. This perk is too strong, that killer needs to be…

Cheaters knowing where the hatch is going to spawn.
What all are cheaters capable of? I just game across a game with some very subtle cheaters (so subtle they didn't win). Had a four-man SWF four-genned with infinite Myers running Pop/Brine/Overcharge/Eruption,. Killed two of 'em. The other two knew they didn't stand a chance, so they hid in corners for half an hour.…
-
Can we have a few more build slots per killer?
One of the best features DBD has added is the ability to store three builds per character. This already works fine for survivors since they're basically just different skins with the same basic mechanics, and you can switch freely between them in the lobby, but it's not uncommon for me to find myself wishing I had 5-10…

What YouTube/Twitch personality made a video about Eruption?
A couple months back, I was one of the only people here arguing that Eruption was good, and people here were swearing up and down that it was a waste of a perk slot. Since everyone on the entire forums without exception get 100% of their opinions on DBD from YouTube videos and Twitch streamers, I assume someone influential…

Entitled survivors and people who were salty about the 6.1.0
Are you an entitled survivor? Have to win all the time, no matter what? Find yourself in tears when you get any less than 3E and consistently DC the first time the killer hooks you? Lost your passion to play ever since the game became remotely balanced and you couldn't just press E to instantly correct your every mistake?…

Survivors should have a "survivor radius".
There should be a terror radius for survivors so that killers can always know when they're getting close to one. There could be a visual component, too, so that players who are hearing challenged wouldn't miss out. It could cover the entire area within 32m of a particular color, sort of like how boon totems work, and the…
-
I caught some subtle cheaters on video.
Does anyone know how this works? I filed an in-game report, and I also have video. It looks like the cheaters in question were using auto dead-hard. As soon as I hit the attack button, on one in particular, the dead hard animation would trigger. It looks like they were able to toggle it on and off (either that, or I'm…

No one expects NOED anymore
Has anyone noticed how effective NOED has become since 6.1.0? I've started running it in a few games, and it seems like it's actually become more viable than before if for no other reason than the fact that survivors don't expect it. It's completely saved matches, especially on my more gamble-y anti-chase M1 killer builds…

So when's the Terrifier chapter?
I just saw Terrifier 2. The series has officially graduated to high art, and people who think it's too lowbrow, underground, or grindhouse for a mainstream horror game don't have any ammo anymore. DBD deserves Art the Clown.

Why do so many survivors think that camping is bannable?
I still come across survivors in the endgame chat who will argue with you to the death that camping is a bannable offense and they're reporting me, whether or not I was actually doing it. In this last game, I absolutely was, but that's mostly because I ran downstairs to get a soda after hitting "ready" in the lobby, my dog…

Does prestige level still affect frequency of rare item drops?
I just went through seven bloodwebs of a P9'd character in his mid-20s, and I got five iris. Does prestiging still boost the rate at which rare items are found in the bloodweb (even by a minuscule amount), or was I just lucky?

Brutal Strength
Has anyone else started running this perk a lot more? It's actually strong enough to be worth running without Fire Up (which was a mediocre use of two perk slots).

So do Brine and Overcharge stack? If so, how?
Some people on the forums and Reddit were saying that you could get up to 500%, 600%, or 700% regression (depending on who you asked) before the nerf in the PTB with both perks at their peak. Other people have said that it goes with the highest number, so it started at 200% and worked its way up to 400%. Which is true, and…

Came across an exploit strategy that I've never seen before.
I came across a newly revamped version of an old exploit strategy earlier this morning, and I was impressed (both by the malicious creativity of the strategy itself and the fact that I butchered them all in spite of it). Everyone remembers the Boil Over exploit that caused survivors on RPD to become unhookable in the…

Is it happening tomorrow or not?
Is the update coming tomorrow? One of the titles in Otz' videos implies that tomorrow will be the day, but BHVR hasn't announced anything. What's the evidence for and against? Do they usually announce it in advance? I personally hope that it's another week. I lost a lot of flans hitting the P1 button on some killers today,…

Getting harassed in locker while using Built to Last
I love Built to Last. It's one of the most busted survivor perks that nobody is talking about, especially when combined with a fast toolbox, Streetwise, some speed/charge addons, a gen speed perk or two. But I keep getting harassed by idiots who see me go into a locker after I finish a gen, assume I'm trying to hide the…

Ghostly survivor
I had a game yesterday where another survivor DC'd after being tunneled. I was injured later in the game, so I went to a corner to heal and came across his toolbox (I think it was a yellow toolbox with a BNP). I could also hear an injured survivor nearby, so I looked around for them so that we could heal each other. And…

I'm not excited about the new perk changes. Kill rates are going down, not up.
For one, I'm never running Ruin again after the updates. Even with Undying, it just won't be worth it. And maybe that's the point: it was overused and maybe even oppressive on some killers, but on M1 killers with no mobility (for whom Pop became near-useless on after its previous nerf since it can take so long time find a…

Coup de Grace denies Dead Hard on Michael.
I only recently got every killer perk unlocked on Michael, and I haven't had time to play with them all yet, so I'm always picking up something new. Fun fact I learned today: Coup de Grace can deny Dead Hard while Michael is in TIII. If you're about to catch up to a survivor, and they use DH, the lunge covers the entire…

So how are you playing Sadako? (And why can't I win?)
The (admittedly cheesy) build I've been playing with Sadako is Brine/Pop/BBQ and either NOED or Franklin's. My strategy is usually to (attempt to - hard with no actual stealth in what's supposed to be a stealth killer) sneak up on a survivor doing a gen in the early game, M1 them onto a hook, use BBQ to see who's doing…

ITT we roleplay as desperate FNAF fans
FNAF is going to be the 6th anniversary killer... there is no question at this point, with BHVR dropping hints at every turn. If you don't believe that Springtruck is going to be the 6th anniversary killer, look at the hints they've dropped over the past few days. For starters, take a closer look at the new DBD artwork…

I bought Silent Hill about an hour ago; still hasn't shown up in-game
What it says in the title. I bought the Silent Hill DLC on Steam, and it clearly says that it's in my library, but it hasn't shown up in-game on Stadia as of yet. Usually, when I buy a character on Steam or Stadia, it shows up in my library on both platforms, because that's how cross-progression works, but no luck so far.

Ruin needs a buff
Ruin is too weak. It should include an extra totem like Undying with its basekit, which could further stack with Undying itself. It should also regress gens while they're blocked, and any gen currently affected by Ruin would require a tremendously difficult skill check in order to start repairing or else the gen is blocked…

Killerless mode
I'm tired of dealing with all the sweaty gameplay, hooks, chases, and other forms of toxicity in DBD. More and more, I find myself coming on to the forums to complain about camping, tunneling, NOED, and just the fact that by the nature of a game like this, sometimes I have to lose. I'm starting to spend more time on the…

BHVR should lie about the cheating problem.
BHVR has gone on record saying that the reason they don't say much about how they counter cheating is because they don't want to give cheaters any info on how those countermeasures are to be defeated, but then half the forum throws a shitfit because they think that means that nothing is being done at all. Why doesn't BHVR…

Are survivors who say "Lightborn is a bad perk" just salty?
A lot of survivors here on the forum seem extremely eager to chime in whenever the subject of Lightborn comes up about how "bad" it is, but I get more free downs out of it than Exposed perks like Haunted Grounds or Make Your Choice. I realize that a lot of killers are of the opinion that flashlights are the "weakest item…

Failing a skill check should kill you automatically
This way, I don't have to sit through games where Meg and Claudette regress a third of the gen and get us all killed in the first five minutes because they can't hit their checks. My survivor games would improve in quality, and they'd be forced to work harder on learning to play the game, so everyone wins. Doctor would be…

How did you feel about the new Bubba movie?
I liked it a lot. I did have to admit that it had its problems. I didn't really buy the whole school shooting storyline, and they botched the subplot featuring Sally from the original film horribly (I'm not sure how it should have ended, but I am certain that they did it wrong - not to mention that they blatantly ripped…

Still no Bubba shards
Hey. I have yet to receive my Bubba shards. I have the game on both Stadia and Steam, although I've been playing on Stadia lately. I heard that everyone should have gotten theirs by now, so I decided to post it here... Anyway, I was hoping to get them before the 14th so I can try out the new Doctor cosmetics (don't have…
