Killer Adepts
On stream I have been attempting adepts. I got all of them for Survivor within a day. But I am struggling with killers. For example, today I attempted adept Pig. I got a 4K. And iridescent in every category except GateKeeper. But they only did two gens total. It seems to me that proving yourself as being adept is quite…

Keys Discussion (Stay Wholesome Please)
First: People escaping with a key is intended and cool and fun and clutch and can be awesome at times. At others, it can be a bit frustrating. Example 1: As a non-tunneling killer, I try to 3hook everyone. So lets say they have 4 gens done, 1 dead, and 3 on death hook. This is an interesting spot for a killer. 3 gens on…

Tunneling and Camping
Let's go over tunneling and camping shall we? People toss those words around a LOT on here. So let's be clear Examples of camping: Staring at the hooked survivor and revving a chainsaw face to face Scaring off survivors but refusing to chase in order to protect one hook Staying within heartbeat range of hook the whole time…

How to SWF Genrush With Math
Designate a guy who can chase well. Even better if you can all run a little bit. Ideal scenario: Split the other 3 on different gens. 3 gens done in 80 seconds. Then 2 on one gen, one on another. 2nd gen pops in 44 seconds. Other 2 join the last guy on their gen, and it will be done 23 seconds later (44% complete by 4th…

PWYF Rework Idea
Losing a chase with the obsession grants a token. (Same 10s cool down between token gains) Each token grants 3/4/5% movement speed up to 3 tokens. Upon putting a survivor into the down state, all tokens are lost. This applies to interruptions and lockers as well. This completely changes the use of the perk. Instead of…
-
New Objective
Commonly said "we don't want longer gens because it's boring" (understandable argument)... So why keep the speed the same, but add conditions. There are 7 gens total. What if 3 of them REQUIRED teamwork. If there is a moment where there is only one person on it, progression of the gen is halted. Otherwise, it functions…
-
Spirit Idea
What if spirit terror radius was changed to that of hag (slightly smaller) Inside terror radius meters, no phasing sound Outside terror radius meters, global phasing sound. Outside max teleport range meters (what like.... 32meters? Ish) No phasing sound. Since you are safe anyways. *The reason I added "terror radius…

Nurse Bugs
@Peanits @Almehu@Almo Are Nurse bugs being addressed? We (or at least I) haven't seen anything to indicate that they are even recognized as an issue. If I could get an official response I could refer people to this post when I come across people mentioning Nurse bugs. I think it would really help the community of killers…

Power Role
Who will win? Though there are always exceptions and personal opinions that may differ from the list (mine included), I've noticed this to be the general balance of power for MOST games. 1. Good Nurse/Billy 2. Good Spirit/Good Survivors (Tie) 3. Good Killer (Except above mentions) 4. Par Killer/Par Survivors (tie) 5. Bad…
-
Anti-Toxic Perks
What if there were perks that had no real benefit except in toxicity form Click: Turning on a flashlight more than 5 times in 2 seconds when inside the terror radius will result in the survivor being blinded for 50/100/150% flashlight blind duration. Duck At Me Harder: Crouching more than 6/5/4 times in four seconds inside…

New Change To Slugging - The Culling
I want to open by saying slugging is a totally valid tactic and is acceptable. But. What if the killer gets all survivors on the floor? Now the culling timer starts. After 15 seconds, if nobody gets up from a perk or DS, the entity kills them all like EGC. If someone gets up, The Culling stops. +15 seconds to the timer…

Is a Nurse Fix in Progress?
I see lots of complaints about nurse being broken buggy. I am one of those people complaining. She's my fav. And she's SO so So so SOO buggy. I would love to spread the word on the forums of an official response saying that her bugs are being addressed. @Peanits I haven't seen any confirmation that they have even been…
-
Potato Potato
Here are some nurse bugs and what their survivor equivalent would be: 1 Nurse. Charging a full blink and teleporting in place because of terrain you can't see 1 Survivor. Try to fast vault a window, it does the animation. But you don't actually vault. You stay on your side. Oh! And you are locked out of vaulting again for…
-
Why Slugging Works
An unrecovered slug applies more pressure than a hook. Getting someone off the floor takes more healing time than an unhooking time. And time is a killers friend. That's 2 people not on gens for longer. A recovered slug applies the same pressure as a hook. Touching someone to pick them up takes just about the same time as…

How To Red Rank
This is actually a question and guide mixed together. First. How to be a red rank survivor: Just smacked Rank 1 survivor and would love to give you the tips on how to do it yourself. First and likely most important: Gens If you are not in a chase or being stalked. Be. On. A. Gen. I've seen too many people wasting time…
-
4k Double Pip
*Not that it's deserved always* But if you 4k by any means, or 3k with a hatch escape within X amount of time. What if you automatically double pipped as killer? This would do one of two things: Take killers who are clearly below their rank and fast track them to higher ranks where they belong Or Take people who got…
-
Grab Animation Bug
I haven't checked Bugs yet. But is anyone else experiencing issues with grabs? It's happened on Nurse, Freddy, and Hah for me (biased since those are the only killers I've played in a while). But I will get an interrupt grab, it begins the animation of the grab, then stops the animation and all of the sudden the survivor…
-
Things We Don't Like
Moris: Just put it after 2nd hook. It saves a trip to the hook, eliminates chances of flashlight blind, and it looks cool. Toss in some bonus BP and call it a day. Keys: Since moris really don't give much gameplay advantage now, Keys should be similar. It opens the hatch, but only for one person. If 4 people want to bring…
-
Skill Brackets
Idea 1.0: What if players were pitted against similar devotion level brackets? Still trying to use the rank system as well (though. Clearly we have rank 10 killers going against rank 3 survivors so that's known to be broken right now) But devotion level at least gives you an indication of how many games they have played.…

Wholesome Streamers
Recommendations for wholesome/nontoxic streamers? Sometimes I want to see good people who try hard so I can learn things. But sometimes I just need someone who is chill. So... Any recommendations for the wholesomest streamers of DbD? A few that I like are: SpaceLion StreamDad_ Tokki **Btw, I'm not self advertising and I…

Killer Strats
A list of a few killer strats I know. Feel free to add. Regular: down and hook. Carry on to the next patrol. It works often. Nice with locator perks to find the next target (BBQ, whispers, discordance, etc) 3 gen: beginning of game find 3 gens that are close together that you can defend easily. Simply stick near those 3.…
-
A bit of math
This math assumes nobody is using perks such as DH, BT, or DS, no insta downs, and nobody is healing ever. The absolute minimum hits to get a 3 hook on all 4 survivors is 16. 2 for first down, 1 for each after that=4 hits per survivor*4 survivors=16 Now let's say that the killer has an absolutely perfect game. They are…

How to Pallet Slam the Huntress
Wonder how much we can say without saying it. Innuendos while retaining relevancy. So... Wanna smash the huntresses face huh? Make sure you use your Dead Hard a little prematurely. If you pull out that Dead Hard early against the huntress, she can't do anything about it. She can only come for you and get smashed in the…
-
Bloodwarden Change
Bloodwarden is inconsistent and potentially useless. In order to make it useful, consistent, and non-op. If a survivor is hooked after the final generator is complete, Bloodwarden blocks the exit for 30/35/40 seconds once an exit gate is opened. This would make survivors think twice about 99% the exit door. In fact, just…

Hex: Realism
Hold my beer. -The Entity Both survivor and killer: Chase music is disabled All aura reading is disabled (yes, including killers view of gens and survivors view of hooked survivors to name a few) All perks are disabled except Hex: Realism until conditions are met (see below) Killer changes: Visual audio cues are disabled…

What Can Killer Do?
I guess I could post my stream clip but I'm not trying to self advertise here. So I'll just explain the situation. Playing survivor. Had to unhook 3 ppl. So the 2 perks important for this story are that I had BT and DS. 2 of us on hook. I got unhooked and healed with We'll Make It, and headed straight to the other guy.…

New Ruin Opinions
Heyo! Just wanted to see what people were thinking of new ruin vs old ruin. Toss your rank with your comment cuz rank TOTALLY matters? Lol Red ranks: As survivor I find new ruin more pressuring than old ruin. I could hit the skillchecks for old ruin and I'd just power through it. But if the killer sees me. I can't power…
-
Suicide on 1st hook
The people who suicide on first hook are the ones that would DC on first down. But now Survivors get a few extra seconds until the killer hooks them Gives a chance for flashlight save / wiggle free Killer gets points for their earned down and first hook I mean it's not ideal. But it seems better than the DC on down. Which…
-
A Killer idea (see what I did there?)
Once the last gen is complete exit gates power up over 10 seconds (can't start opening until they are powered). And what if exit gates opened 25% faster. But after 5 seconds of not opening they regressed rapidly? Gen speed is a hot topic. But what if we changed what happens after gens? No toolbox opens a gate faster.…

Killer or Survivor Main?
Thought of doing this as a poll but it got a bit complex with the type of answers I'm looking for. Survivor main always Killer main always Both always Those 3 make sense for a poll. But there are a few others No longer play killer because ______ No longer play survivor because ______ No longer play the game because ______…

Hook-Tech... Splain.
I know there are some broken ways to unhook by abusing a DS and BT combo so two people can guarantee getting each other off the hook. It only works once but it works every time (as long as there isn't a chainsaw/t3 Myers.) But everyone mentions "Hook-Tech". Is the above thing the hook tech? If not, what is it? Halp.

"Crutch" Rework
Please read all of it before responding. It's a lot. But if you do read you will see I'm not biased. I'm trying to be logical from both sides. And please be constructive. We are all working towards a fun and balanced game here. Let's stay positive :) BTW: I'm an ex-killer main turned survivor main because of how much less…

New Hex: Calculated Risk
This hex plays on the survivors ability to assess risks vs rewards At the beginning of the match generator repair speed is reduced to 50% of normal for two minutes. After that repair speed is increased to 150%/130%/120% for the remainder of the trial If the hex is broken, all effects are removed. So if the survivors suck…
-
Hex Totem Icons
Would it be so bad to put an icon over hexes that tells the killer WHICH totem is WHICH hex. So they know what to defend more aggressively. Can't imagine it would be that game breaking. But it would make hexes a little less random for the killer. It is THEIR hex after all. May as well know which one is which.
-
New Killer: Lucy the Doll
General Killer Info: Lucy does not have a heartbeat. She hums a cute little tune instead. Getting louder as she gets closer. She giggles while bloodlust is active (only audible to the survivor being chased) Lucy can't carry bodies. So she drags them to the hook. The entity helps get them up there (The entity is so kind)…

Fix Ranking. Here's how
There are so many potatoes in red ranks it's insane. Both sides. It's common knowledge that rank just doesn't matter because it's so easy to gain rank. Not even getting into the balance of "the game is harder for _____". Just. It's easy to gain rank. Period. Did you go up a rank yesterday? Well you shouldn't. You haven't…

Killer Variety
Play as killer opens a window with 3 choices ** edit: for clarity, keep in mind all 3 of the following choices are Game Mode Options and all 3 will be available at any time. You aren't locked into any of them. The options are as follows** Regular: Play the game like it is now. Pick your fav killer and que up. The Few:…

Favorite Perks and Opinions
Been playing much more survivor because I don't need the extra stress in my life that killer brings. So here are my perk choices. Dead Hard - seems balanced. Can be baited but also high skill cap to use wisely. I get good use out of it like 70% of the time. Buys me more time than any of the other ones. DS - totally…
-
Survivor Challenge Mode
Anyone else finding survivor gameplay too easy? If one person chases for a bit and even just 2 other people do gens while the last is a potato I feel like I'm winning games too often. Perhaps having currently gameplay as a "casual" mode. But make "ranked" gameplay harder for survivors (easier killer gameplay will attract…

Devs Hag Rework
@Peanits first off, I want to say you are awesome and I love your support and rapid responses here. You are great and I appreciate you. But I have a bit of a concern if you wouldn't mind me stealing some of your time. First, I understand that the beginning of the game is not detrimentally critical to most killers. Thus the…
-
What can we do?
My perception of a few things *opinion, not fact*: Why did 80% of killers (well that number is fact. They said so in the patch notes) run Ruin? To slow down the hardest part of the game for killers: the beginning. What did the ruin change do? Take away their best tool to do that. What did this result in: killers resorting…
-
What is a win?
What constitutes a win to me? First off, survivors win individually, not as a team. At least to me. So here goes: Survivor. I win if: 1: I escape by any means 2: I do a gen myself, unhook 2 people, and do at least one good chase. That feels like a balanced game where I feel I did my part. 3: I survive to the point of 4…

Rank System Ideas
First up, this is just an idea. And I'm down for criticism and other suggestions. All in an effort to make the game more fun! Let's try not to be salty. And work on a game we all enjoy(ed) to some extent (otherwise you wouldn't be here). In my opinion, killer ranking up is much harder than survivor ranking up. A 4k killer…
-
BT Rework
Just an idea, trying to make everyone happy. BT rework that hopefully appeals to all sides. Would love to hear your feedback. Borrowed time allows you to perform a "fast unhook" reducing the time it takes to unhook someone by 60/70/80% and giving them all the things current BT does (free hit for X/Y/Z seconds, bleedout…

No Mither Tweak
Hey, its me, the one who never wants to start forum wars. So! Here's an idea I had. Just wanted to hear what people think :) No other perks let the killer know what perk you are running from the beginning of the game other than no mither (I think) And the perk already has such a strong downside. Why not appear healthy on…
-
DS Tweak Idea
Love the idea of DS. I balance between both killer and survivor. (Not trying to start a war like most forum posts here, I promise. Just wanted to share an idea) Idea: Add this to the end of DS's current description "if another player is placed on a hook while you are NOT in the bleedout state, Decisive Strike becomes…
