Please change Parallel Jungle Gyms
The current trend at BHVR seems to be to go from one extreme to the other. We've gone from too many strong gyms to having loads of really pointless ones (for survivors). I'm talking about the ones that are three-five sets of walls that run vertically and all parallel to each other. There's often one vault in all of them…

Should BHVR make 2024 the year of maps?
I personally feel so. We have done glaring issues with map design at the moment. Some maps that have been through the realm beyond, despite being visually improved, have lost a lost their great DBD atmosphere. They also seem to lose a lot of their variety when they're redone. Badham and the swamps are still yet to see any…

Killer DCs are out of control
Seriously in recent weeks it's gotten beyod he pale. Survivor looping you too long? DC. Too many gens done too quickly? DC. The gates are powered? DC. Between this and the tunnelling and slugging going on right now the game is an absolute state. The DC issue is definitely more of a daytime issue, but it's getting…

Killers disconnecting
Is there a server issue or something today or are killers just getting salty? I've had 8 disconnect today at varying points of the match and varying levels of success. All different killers and different users. Are we really this against an event? It's the only change I can see recently accounting for this behaviour.

What's going on with bots?
They seem to have been made more stupid or something lately. I've had a string of matches where one person DCs; normally this doesn't bother me as bots on the whole haven't been too bad. However over the last few days I've encountered some corkers; bots who refuse to heal, none of them seem to touch a gen at all anymore…

Mac version
Hi all. I was recently gifted an iMac and was surprised to see that there is no Mac OS support for DBD. I play my Xbox version through XCloud which isn't perfect but fine. How come there has never been a Mac version? Just our of curiosity.

What has happened with the anti-repeat function for maps?
Is it even still a thing? BHVR said they were introducing the feature to avoid getting the same maps in close rotation, but it seems to have gotten worse. Yesterday I played for a few hours after a week or so away and I legitimately got Mother's Dwelling, Gas Heaven and Pale Rose on rotation endlessly. I got Lérys twice…
-
What is going on with matches today?
I'm not sure if anyone else is having a shocking time today but the game is borderline unplayable for me on Xbox. I've had 5 matches disconnect from the loading screen claiming the match was cancelled, three matches where one person DCs - one of which was a survivor and ended the match for all of us with no BP for anyone.…

What do you want the developer focus of DBD 2023 to be?
As with the title, what in your opinion, do you think the devs should do to improve the experience of DBD this year?

Making the game true to the name: Dead by DAYLIGHT.
This is an idea I've been thinking about recently to switch up the game whilst keeping true to the experience- it could possibly be a new mode rather than a replacement. It is inspired somewhat by the way Friday the 13th worked, which I played before I moved over to DBD. Whilst I enjoy DBD I do think F13 had some more…

Would you change any items? If so, how?
I very rarely use items these days and as such doing the blood web feels a bit pointless - I only really bother with it to level up my perks when I move to a new survivor for an aesthetic change so I think items could potentially do with a shake up. Items can also extend to in game mechanics/offerings for the purpose of…
-
What's going on with pallates?
For a while now, I've been having some issues.. Firstly, and most consistently when I pull a palate down, the game pushes me to the far side of the pallate to perform the action. This often pushes you closer to the killer, sometimes it stuns them and you can vault over which is not ideal as you still lose escape time, but…

New Icon
A few times today, I've seen a new icon in games. It's a diamond shape with a red arrow that appears above the player icons. It can be seen in the image below, does anyone know what it is?
-
What quality QoL changes would you still like to see moving forward?
The mobile app, surpsingly, has some interesting and useful design choices, in my opinion, over the PC and console version. For example, I'd like to see the swipe to run continuously function brought over in the form of a toggle to run, quite like other functions that have had this treatment already. Also, the mobile…
-
What was the rationale behind the RPD rework?
I've had RPD2.0 East Wing twice so far today and I'm struggling to understand why it was changed.. I'm a fan of RE so playing RPD was fine for me cause I knew the layout. I actually liked some additions BHVR made over the official one. However I appreciate for survivors is was confusing to navigate and for killers it was…
-
What happened to the Fog?
"Into the fog" used to be the series strap line, even as recent as the RE chapter. I stumbled across a video of old gameplay today and I forgot how different the game used to look. Sure its had a graphic update, but I don't think it's been 100% for the best. I forgot how much fog there used to be as standard and it gave…

THANA Talk
Has anyone else noticed a MASSIVE increase in the use of THANA since the recent update? I'm seeing it currently in about 95% of matches and I personally think its having a massive impact considering the mid chapter changes; especially when it coupled with the likes of Corrupt or Dead Man's Switch. What are people's…

The Observer
I may have missed this, so sorry if it has been discussed. But I notice the man who normally sits in the chair on the rift, who I understand is called The Observer, has gone and the scene is a mess. Has this been explained? I don't normally buy too much into the lore but thought this was interesting.

It's time for Corrupt Intervention to go
First of all I want to say that this is not an anti-killer post. I completely understand the point Corrupt Intervention plays in offering killers a more fair chance and having a good match and I fully support that mentality. I'm a survivor main and on the few occasions I do have a go at playing Killer the gens can pop so…

New Survivor Perk Idea: Divine Intervention
This is an idea for an anti-camping and (somewhat) anti-tunnelling Perk I've been thinking about based the premise of Pyramid Head's cage traps. Perk: Divine Intervention "Your resistance to pain and and will to survive has provoked an uncanny interest of The Entity who wants to see what you're capable of" When you have…
-
Multi-knock downs
Something really needs to be done about killers knocking survivors down and not hooking them, running off rinsing and repeating until all survivors are down, then going for easy hooks. Combine that with the tunneling and camping craze combined with most killers now seeming to bring BBQ,Corrupt and No Way Out. Over the last…

Boil Over and other useless perks
I've been experimenting with some new perks recently after getting too comfy with my go to ones. I tried having a go with boil over, amongst others, but even at purple level it seems entirely pointless. I've done about 20 matches with it over a few days and I've never once got past more than about 75% struggle before being…
-
The Shape Mori
Seems WAY too OP, that's if it's not a hack of some sort. I've played multiple matches against Michaels now who can kill you instantly without even downing you. I don't know if this is a killer perk or a hack but I had one match where he killed all four people this way and it's getting dull. It seems to be an increasing…
-
Simple Gen Rework Idea
There has been a lot of talk about killers getting frustrated over the speed at which gens pop and a lot of discussion over how that could be best resolved. The main idea by many seems to be to reduce the speed which I feel is a no-go. Doing a solo gen at the moment can take an age and is already on the verge of boring so…
-
Survivor losing items when Killer DCs
This seems very sporadic and I'm not sure if it's a bug that needs reporting. I've just had a match on Lerys where we were there for no more than about 10 seconds before the killer DCd. When I got back to the lobby I'd lost my item. This has happened a few times and I don't understand the logic behind it, if it is indeed a…

Downed last survivors...
I think if you're downed and youre the last survivor your should either be able to heal out of the dying phase once or still use items. Ive had multiple matches now where the killer will down multiple people and wonder off. Whether to find others or perhaps to find the hatch. But it's rather boring if you crawl away and…
-
Change Sprint Burst.
I quite like sprint burst in theory but in reality is a bit lacklustre. You either have to waste it or walk everywhere which is annoying. I think it would work better if you had to press the action button to activate SB when you feel you need it. However it should be offset by doubling the recovery time. Im sure many…
-
Killerless Games?
Over the past few weeks I've had a handful of matches that seems to not have a killer on them. I use Dark Sense as a perk so I get an idea of where and who the killer is once one gen is done. But there have been maps where this hasn't shown anything. Fair enough it could be Ghost/Michael or the Pig/ Wraith who are cloaked,…

Xbox series X - Deliverance Perk Issue
When playing a variety of matches I am noticing that once you use deliverance to unhook yourself once you try to run there is a bit of lag/pull back. The character will try to run then come to an almost stop as if you've ran into the corner of a wall or something before continuing to run again at full speed. I have noticed…

Silly Unhooking
Why do survivors try to unhook other survivors when the killer is still either very near or right there? It seems to be happening a lot lately and you can't even blame killers for taking the easy downs. Is there some technique here I'm missing because it's infuriating to get three people downed when it was avoidable.
-
The Pig's traps should be nerfed
The Pig is one killer who I absolutely cannot stand going against as I find every encounter quite a chore. I do feel she is quite OP given she has stealth, a lunge attack and the traps. I could cope with the stealth and lunge attacks as they are not to different from Ghostface or Michael but it's the traps that really…
-
Is this a Terror Radius glitch?
I've noticed in recent weeks that I've had killers appearing out nowhere with no terror radius. I know certain killers like Michael/Ghost face consistently can hide their terror radius but I'm talking about killers that haven't consistently had this happen at any point during the match previously and it only seems to…
-
Would you remove the 'exit vestibule'?
I've noticed a lot as survivors get the gates open they use the area inside as a place to hide and heal or grief the killer by refusing to leave. I've seen it happen a lot with other survivors if I go back to spectate. Would you remove this area so that once the gates are open and you run through them you've escaped? I…

Accessibility suggestion: press not hold.
Hi everyone. I've been a DBD player for sometime now and very rarely have any gripes with how the game works. However as I get older I am getting issues with my hands and I've noticed that holding buttons, particularly things like bumpers and triggers on Xbox or PS controllers, are starting to give me pain. I know the…
