"Take Back The Power" - Haunted by Daylight Survivor Tome Challenge
Has anyone been able to complete the "Take Back The Power" Survivor challenge in the Haunted by Daylight tome challenge? You need to 'Collect 6 Void Energy from stunning the Killer by any means'. First match, I pallet stunned a Legion twice, but I didn't get any credit for it. I thought it was because I got killed after…

How to Counter a Sabo Squad?
The past few days I have been playing a lot of Nemesis since he's the only Killer that I have the perk Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance on. I've become somewhat decent with him and have just climbed up to Level I/Bronze. Now with MMR, I have been facing much tougher teams including full Iridescent teams (which seems odd, but I…

PTB vs. Regular Play -- More Fun, Less Sweaty?
This is my first PTB, so I am new to this alternate way of playing. I had assumed that the PTB would be laidback since it's a testing environment and players are getting to know the new map, characters, perks, etc. However, I've been surprised that so many Killers have been playing rather sweaty--on my last match, I faced…

My Ode to Hex: Devour Hope
Thankfully due to some lucky totem spawns, I was able to get some amazing value out of Hex: Devour Hope in three matches in a row as the Doctor. These matches were fun and required me to effectively chase Survivors away from my totem before they found it. It feels especially delicious to get up to 5 stacks of Devour Hope…

There's an Obsession among the Survivors, but no one is running any Obsession-based Perks?
^Title Four times in a row today, I have played a match as Killer where I get notified that there's an Obsession, but no one is running any Obsession-related perks (neither me or any of the Survivors). Typically, when I hear that Obsession "tone" at the beginning of a match, I assume that someone is running Decisive…

New to playing on PC...how do you set up a SWF?
^ Title I probably had over 800 hours on Xbox, before I recently switched over to playing on PC. It's been great so far, but I can't seem to figure out how to organize a SWF. On Xbox, it was easy--I was able to use console messaging to contact or respond to posts from other players looking for teammates. Does Steam have…

Dark Adherent - Hook 5 Survivors (Tome VII - Level 1 Killer Challenge)
Has anyone been able to complete the new Dark Adherent challenge yet in the Tome VII archive? I just played as Leatherface on Dead Dawg Saloon where I got at least 7 hooks, but I did not complete the challenge. Ultimately, each Survivor was hooked at least once, and I double hooked 3 Survivors. Is this challenge bugged?

Classic Example of Why Matchmaking Is So Frustrating...
Rant ahead... So I decided to complete a daily challenge to play as Wraith, even though I am Level 1 with him and don't have any extra perks or add-ons. I'm thinking that the matchmaking system would realize that I'm new to playing with him, but of course I get matched with 2 purple and 2 green players (all on console)…

Managing Expectations...is it fair to expect Altruism while playing Solo Queue?
^ Title I've been playing solo queue lately, and it's the usual struggle. Either 1 of 2 things happen that's particularly frustrating: I get hooked and left to die on first hook (while my teammates have an opportunity to save me) OR I unhook someone and then I get left to die on hook after the save (while they have an…

So I am new to playing The Pig...
I bought Pig last night, and I've played 3 matches with her so far. I'm still trying to get the hang of the dash and ambush attacks, but that's to be expected. As for her traps, I thought a Survivor wasn't able to escape through the exit gates with a trap on their head? I downed a Claudette during EGC, but she was still…

What's the point of rank reset?
^Title I understand how rank reset works, but what is the point of it? Rank reset is presented very matter-of-factly, but I'm not clear of its purpose. Anyone have an idea?

My Pet Peeve When I Play Survivor...
I hate when me and another Survivor are the last two remaining in the match, and the Killer ends up killing me after a chase but give the other Survivor hatch or allows them to open the exit gates. I know I am not entitled to be given anything from the Killer, but it stills irks me nonetheless. ESPECIALLY if I know that…

Has anyone unlocked a face on Cannibal recently?
^Title I've been recording my kills of Dwight, Meg, Claudette, and Jake in a spreadsheet whenever I play Cannibal. I understand that you need 25 sacrifices to unlock a survivor's face. So according to my records, I have killed 25 Meg survivors on the hook. Unfortunately, when I checked to see if I could customize…

Tips For Playing Against A Flashlight Bully Squad?
^ Title Earlier today I played a match that challenged unlike any other. I was facing a team that wasn't doing gens and were mostly hiding. However, EVERYTIME I would find and down a Survivor, someone would come and flashlight blind me. Either the downed Survivor would crawl to an area making it easier to blind me, or I…

Is Huntress Quiet Now?
I just played a match against a Huntress where she wasn't humming at all. You could hear her terror radius when she was close, but beyond that there was no sound. Is that a bug? I looked to see what build the Killer was running at the end, and it wasn't anything special: Blood Favor Spies from the Skies Iron Grasp Add-ons…

Post Game Chat: Is it rude to say 'GG' as Killer when you have slaughtered the whole team?
^Title This happened in a match earlier today. I was playing solo queue with (i'm assuming) 3 other random players, and we were obliterated by a Billy. It was so bad that none of the Survivors earned over 10K bloodpoints (and we all de-pipped), while the Killer got around 18K. In the post game chat, the killer typed 'GG…

How Do You Organize A SWF Group On PC?
^Title I know this is a basic question, but I am new to playing DbD on Steam. I previously played on console, and it was easy to organize teams through Xbox messages. Also, I tried to find this answer online, but I haven't had any luck with my search. Thanks!

Starting Over On A Different Platform/Console
^ Title Given all of the issues that I've been having playing DbD on my Xbox One, I've been thinking of changing over to a PS5 system or potentially playing DbD on my gaming PC. I have to admit that I would hate to get rid of all of the progress that I've made on my Xbox. For context, I've played DbD for 730 hours since I…

Just Got a 24-Hour Matchmaking Ban Due to An Involuntary DC
Title. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been posting about how I have been frequently been kicked off the game due to a "disconnection from host".

[Xbox One] Match Doesn't Load and Disconnected from Host
3 times in a row this morning I tried to load into a game and it got stuck at the Loading screen and kicked out at the end results screen. I did not lose a pip, but I lost my offering each time. This results in error code 500. Screenshots are below. Yesterday this type of host disconnection happened both during the Loading…

Game Crashes and Host Disconnections Are Killing My Enjoyment Of This Game
Title. For my first two Killer matches this morning, I was not able to load into the actual trial because I was disconnected from the host. It look a long time to load after the lobby and then the game crashed, showing a message that I had been disconnected from the host. While I thankfully didn't lose a pip during these…

"Disconnection From Host" Error has made this game unplayable today
SIX different times today, I have been booted out of a Survivor match due to a 'Disconnection From Host' error. Four of those times happened while the match was in session. I notice that the screen would freeze while I was opening a chest or working on a generator. Then the results screen would pop up and say that I…

Game Has Been Unplayable Today due to 'Disconnection From Host' Error
Four different times today, I have been booted out of a Survivor match due to a 'Disconnection From Host' error. Two of those times happened while the match was in session. The screen would freeze and then results screen would pop up and say that I "escaped" while the killer appeared to have disconnected. This is…

For Experienced Killers, does realm matter?
Question for experienced killers (especially those who have been playing the game for awhile)...does the realm matter to how well you well? Is your win rate roughly the same across the different realms? I find that there are certain realms that I really struggle with--almost to the point where if I get sent there, then I…

Advice on Adept Cannibal and Deathslinger
With the recent rank reset (all the way down to rank 16), I have decided to take this time to do some of the killer adept achievements, focusing on my current two mains, Cannibal and Deathslinger. Although I've found doing adepts with all of my survivors to be pretty easy, doing these killer adepts has been a major…

Post-Game Chat Bans/Suspensions
Let's talk suspensions or bans for bad conduct after a match... So, I got my first-ever communications suspension today after I had a terrible match as Leatherface (I plan DBD on Xbox). After the match, a survivor messaged me with some toxicity (basically 'ggez get gud'). I admit that I was tilted, so I responded in kind.…

Maps That Are Ridiculously Dark
I just finished a match as Killer where I played at Midwich. Is it just me, or are parts of this map ridiculously dark? For example, there was a corridor in a back corner of the courtyard that was so dark that I couldn't figure out which way I was going after during a chase. This also has happened on the lower level of the…

Why would someone NOT want to farm BP?
As Survivor, I have played a number of matches where the Killer has asked to farm so that they could complete a challenge. Similarly, when I play Killer, I have, on occasion, offered Survivors a chance to farm BPs. In all of my experiences, the offer to farm has been warmly received--until today. With the release of the…
