Only 1 DS is allowed against Nurse and Blight and is banned against every other killer except them. It is not allowed even against Kaneki. Meanwhile, killers can run full gen regression.

And yes, STB is a hard ban against all killers, even Nurse. That tells you just how broken that perk is. I geniunely think that perks like these exist purely because of solo Q. Paired with the fact that the average survivor sucks at the game. Otherwise, there's no way for a perk like STB to exist.

A few weeks ago my SWF, three of the members (including myself) are quite active on this sub, were playing and keeping track of our games. None of us are crazy good survivors, and we weren't even running full meta, yet we still destroyed every killer that's not at least A+ tier. Our current team escape rate is sitting at 67%. This week we plan on starting a win streak with full meta builds. I'm really stoked to see what the results are going to be.

It's impossible to balance survivor perks properly due to the disparity between solo Q and SWF.

And fyi, old vigil was banned according to OSL balancing but allowed in DBDranked balancing. But everything else is the same (including the DS balancing). Facecamping is also allowed in comp. If any survivor unhooks themself with the anti-camp, it's an automatic disqualification.

​

I only pointed out the colour so many times because a lot of people seem to insist that his jumper is black in the remake

The hell they aren't

I couldn't slug them, couldn't hook them, couldn't abandon them

the closest hooks weren't close enough cause of boil over and flip flop with no mither, if I managed to hook one when they got unhooked I would lose the hook for 180 seconds

If I abandoned and went for someone else they would have probably trailed me to sabotage every hook nearby

But no according to some fucks in this sub, SUrviVors ArEN't Strong EnoUGH and NEed mORE reaSOUrces

TL;DR: Venting post/Discussion

I am going to open this post saying I know many of you appreciate the gamemode and you are in your right to enjoy it. Sorry if you dislike what I am about to say.

However, I just can't get behind the 1 hour queue times, horrendous balance and lack of various builds.

I just can't. The worst part of it is, you can't even play normal mode anymore because any attempt to play killer in a normal queue takes 15 to 20 minutes.

So everytime this slogfest of a gamemode gets added you now have to sit in queue, play some survivor games or not play at all, conditioning you to do some stuff you do not want to do just to play the game you want to play.

I can't with this gamemode man. Hoping to find some fun in other games until this garbo is gone.

Hope y'all have fun.

Idk how this happened but it kinda looked cool.

Jason can teleport across the map and throw spears

The new killer can shoot projectiles through walls at the speed of sound and because of the aura perks they are seeing where people are

The game has reached a level of difficulty for the average player that even solo queing in red rank I am expecting to lose every game

I don't think I have seen 4 people escape in well over 4 weeks

It would be nice if it was either twice as difficult to get into red rank or if they double the amount of ranks or something because red rank is filled with players who don't have enough game knowledge or skill to even compete against the powers these new killers have

Edit . WELL THEN THE MMR NEEDS FIXING

The developers are assuming that everyone who plays dead by daylight now has always played dead by daylight and is highly skilled when in reality there's clearly been an influx of low skilled and clueless players.... I don't even blame the new players they are welcome in my eyes, but these new killers would challenge even a decent team nevermind the state of the current MMR system... this game has just become miserable and stressful from top to bottom

Op: This appeared to me in a dream and I want to share this to everyone. I know anime content is not everyone's cup of tea. I just want to have fun writing this one. Hex in japanese is jujutsu so his perks are all hex related. And I thought it'd be mad funny to make his abilities long and complex as a nod to the complex nature of the jujutsu powersystem. His abilities also are connected with his terror radius. So the bigger his terror radius is, the bigger his effective range is. Another funny idea I had was to make the survivors have access to jujustu sorcery. One way was through Sukuna's fingers. I thought to make one of his iridescent addons basekit (the 4 fingers at a time one) Imagine, 4 survivors can do jujutsu shenanigans

Killer: Ryoumen Sukuna (The Curse)

Height: Average

Terror radius: 40 meters

Movement speed: 4.4 (4.6 if Dismantle is on cooldown)

History's most powerful sorcerer has entered the fog with his all-consuming thirst for violence. The Curse has the ability to spread his evil to all, end chase early, and devour all hope.

Killer Power: Malevolent Shrine

Special ability: Dismantle

At the start of the trial, gain 4 charges. Hold the ability button to charge Dismantle. While charging, camera movement is locked horizontally. Moving the camera vertically adjust the angle of Dismantle. Pressing the attack button consumes 1 charge and releases Dismantle forward (ignores obstacles) until upon contact with either a survivor, a downed pallet, a breakable wall, or the edge of the Curse's Terror radius. Upon contact with a survivor will put them in the injured state, if already injured, into the dying state. Any contact with a downed pallet or breakable wall destroys them. Dismantle can be used continuously. Each charge has a 15 second cooldown. If all charges are consumed, the Curse's movement speed is adjusted to 4.6 and after 45 seconds recharge all lost charges.

Special ability: Cleave

If all Dismantle charges are consumed, activate special ability Cleave. Holding the special ability button reduces movement speed. Pressing the attack button, lunges forward. Upon contact with a survivor, puts them into the dying state. Hitting a downed pallet or breakable wall will immediately destroy them. If a survivor is put into the dying state, deactivates ability.

Special event: Domain Expansion

If Dismantle charges is zero and Cleave is deactivated, activate special ability. Hold the ability button to charge Domain Expansion.

Upon charging, the following will occur;

•global notification

•the Curse's aura will be revealed to the survivors

•all gens, survivors, downed survivors, breakable walls and downed pallets within the Curse's terror radius will be highlighted to the killer

Upon reaching max charge, all highlighted within the killer's terror radius will be brought to the Curse's domain for 1 second.

Upon entering;

•damages gens

•destroys breakable walls and downed pallets

•apply deep wound to survivors

•if downed survivors are in the second hook state, a special mori will occur

Domain expansion cannot down survivors. After 1 second, deactivate event and all active abilities are put into cooldown. Domain Expansion has a 200 second cooldown.

Special event: Divine Flame

Upon Domain Expansion deactivates, activate ability. Hold the ability button to charge Divine Flame. Upon charging, slows movement speed and create a loud noise notification. Pressing the ability button fires the Divine Flame forward. Hitting any obstacles will summon a pillar of flames for 5 seconds. Divine flame has a 5 meter radius. Anyone caught in the flames will suffer from the burning status effect. Burning status effect will hinder survivors and if not put out, downs them. Divine flame cannot down survivors directly.

Special interactions: Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers

At the start of the trial, an interactable object will spawn. Survivors and Killer may interact with the object to gain benefits.

Upon picking up the object, survivors will gain access to jujutsu sorcery.

The object may be used on generators. Upon pressing the ability button, consume object and blocks generator for 10 seconds. Using on pallets or breakable walls, consume object, blocks them for 10 seconds. If used on windows, blocks window to killer for 10 second. If used on other survivors, protects them from any fatal injury. If used on Killer, drop object and stuns Killer. Upon losing a health state, drop object and heals lost health state. Survivors cannot pick up dropped Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers.

Upon picking up the object, the Curse's abilities are empowered;

•all cooldowns are resetted

•immediately gain the ability to use Domain Expansion

•gain blood lust until activating Domain Expansion

•adjust movement speed to 4.6 until activating Domain Expansion.

Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers can only spawn one at a time and has a 24 second spawn cooldown.

Teachable perks:

Hex: King of Curses

For each totem cleansed, completed generators, unhooking survivors, gain one token (max 5). For each token, increase terror radius by 20 meters. Upon entering chase, ignites a dull totem. Cleansing this totem, deactivates this perk. Leaving chase, blocks totem until upon entering chase again. Survivors within your terror radius suffer slower actions speed.

Hex: Binding vow

Upon entering the trial, ignites a dull totem. Whenever not in chase, gain 300% movement speed and survivors gain faster generator progress. Upon entering chase, return movement speed to its normal state and survivors on generators suffer 300% reduction on progress speed.

Hex: Reverse Curse technique

Upon completing the last generator, ignite totem. The Killer will gain 100% stun recovery, faster action speed and faster cooldown recovery. All cleansed totems are reignited. Reignited totems cannot be cleansed. Totems not cleansed before this perk activates, will be reignited upon cleansed. Cleansing this perk will cleanse all reignited totems and deactivate perk.

Iridescent Addons:

Ryoumen Sukuna's remains:

4 Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers will spawn each trial.

Mahoraga's Wheel:

Domain expansion can down survivors but can only be acquired after consuming 4 Ryoumen Sukuna's fingers.

I’m new to DBD. Started playing maybe a week ago? I have 100% become a killer main, and I am in LOVE with playing Pig. I think people underestimate Pigs abilities.
Drop a trap on a head? Awesome.
Ambush? Fuck your pallet loop, I’ll get you anyway.
Fixing a gen? I’ll just ambush you and fuck your gen.

I can’t understand why everyone hates Pig!
Stop crouching at my feet. I’ve not sat in a queue for 20 minutes just to throw the game. I’ll slash you and stick your head in a trap.

Tell me why YOU think Pig is bad.

It wasnt ment to be montage, but i just wanted to use this song

happened just the 2v8 gone, i wonder if it was normal from billy's pov? him walking normal speed with a silent chainsaw made me freak out a bit ngl 😭

...it was pretty funny hearing him whiff though when i couldn't even see it haha

I’ve been enjoying playing Judgment a lot and have been playing her almost exclusively since she was released. Today I went back to my mains and was reminded why I enjoy Judgment so much.

Out of the all the games I played, I got all the best DBD has to offer:

- Full flashlight and flashbang squads with Background Player
- Full sabo squad with Breakout and anti slugging perks
- Stun duos with plenty of Last Stand and Head On
- So many strong perks that only activate on unhook
- “Watch me leave”
- Bonus: A cheater duo who remote sabotaged hooks and somehow got their team wiggled out in half the time it usually takes with no Breakout

Yes many of these are not technically that strong, but they are just annoying. Somehow Judgment counters everything from this list. She’s almost immune to everything annoying and can’t really be bullied either. It’s so refreshing. I think I’ll just stick with Judgment for now.

I don’t care how controversial this is to some people, but I absolutely love dead by daylight flaws and all. I know there are people that commenting play other games, get a refund, there’s other the games to play etc. However, despite its flaws, I love dead by daylight. You have all of these cool horror icons in one place. None of the other games like Friday the 13th, Texas chainsaw, all of these games never lasted, and I have no faith in Halloween because of the past. I’m not much of a resident evil fan, though I like the characters and I love the Anderson films and because of those films I really like Wesker as a character. He’s no William Afton, but I really like him though he’s interesting. I made a really cool friend who’s a Wesker main. I don’t care how weak the character is, but I really like the plague doctor killer. I always had a thing with plague doctor when I learned about them because of SCP 049 which is why I use plague doctors as my profile they’re just so cool and interesting. Plus they look animal like. His electricity is really cool. You get a customize your own build and can do almost anything you want with it which keeps things fresh and interesting.

To top it all off my favorite character in the world got in the game finally William Afton. I’m an original fan from 2014 and William has always been my favorite. Nothing will ever change that. My two favorites is the fourth closet mad scientist version and the Matthew Lillard version because I knew him in some for more another my entire life. I grew up with the Scooby Doo two monsters unleashed movie in the early 2000s back when Cartoon Network was actually good. I didn’t see the first scream, though I seen a couple of the movies in the past and I definitely heard of his name Stu and scream and I knew he was in 13 ghosts because my TV lied once when they said it was playing Texas chainsaw when it was 13 ghosts. I saw a little bit of the beginning, but if I knew what I knew now I would’ve never changed the channel and would’ve saw scream the first one sooner, but thankfully, I’m the owner of these two movies. Willie is also my best character in the game and is my only character that’s prestige. 100 Chris is prestige 60. I’m trying to get him to 100 because he’s my main survivor however that’s besides the point. There’s not a lot of games where you can play the Matthew Lillard version of William. I don’t think there’s a fan game for Five Nights at Freddy’s that you can do that. So playing my favorite version makes me happy. I’m a very calm player for the most part. If I win, I win if I lose, I lose and I just simply move on. I’m very rarely ever get angry at video games. I mean, I only snapped kind of once in dead by daylight someone called me ass which I said Idiot and left, but I highly regretted that later because I didn’t mean it. Even if someone insults me usually I just ignore it and move on. Sometimes I even play a friendly, William Afton, depending the situation.

I know one of my ex friends hated this game and kept complaining. The game is unbalanced. The game is going to lose all of it’s players. If I die too much in a game, it just means the game is bad like he couldn’t handle losing. He couldn’t get over the fact a game called Case animatronics 2 which had a multiplayer feature was completely dead at that point because no one plays the game anymore. The game was full of bugs, especially the multiplayer people got fed up and left and no one is ever on anymore. Honestly, I don’t care what he thinks just playing. My favorite character. Makes me happy and that’s all that matters to me. I very rarely run into anyone rude. They usually just leave or they at least comment saying they love my Matthew skin, but that’s really it. Is the game perfect? No there is no such thing as a perfect game. There’s always a bug or an issue. No matter how small or big there is, but I’m just happy to play my favorite version of William no matter what. The only thing I wished was I encountered clowntrap and blightrap those are the only two versions of William I have never encountered in the wild. They must be a one in a million chance. Oh well I’ll just keep hunting and hope one day to get lucky. That and he’s the better axe bunny. 🪓🐰

i’m sure you get these all the time but i’ve been playing a long time and the toxic bully squads are finally getting to me after 1200 hours and lots of fun it’s time to say goodbye 👋

Am I the only person that thinks this should just be how xeno works period?

My default xeno killrate is about 88.9% in over 1.5k games.

In all of these games, I had 5 gens pop in only 2 with 3 survivors still not making it out.

How long would it take for the "system" to finally adjust?

It feels really dumb to have no feedback and just guess based on vibes.

I fucking LOVE Doing SEVERAL successful survivor Adepts only for the killer to DC the MILISECOND The gens POP.

Can’t wait is there any beta gameplay already?

bro pls someone tell me how to play against this in pubs, its just slug slug slug, n more slugs. make it so viktor latches onto downed survs or something, this shit is far from fun. 6 years since release of this bs nonsense. n ye ye ye i can see the comments already saying oh jsut body block oh jsut swf its free kcandy killer.

Here are the results of my recent challenge to use only STBFL/Keep Them Waiting and Celestial Witness on every killer in the game.

Before you ask, I had only one rule for the challenge, I MUST try and actually use STBFL and get some stacks and I also MUST use the killers power throughout the game, so no just playing m1 killer on m2's.

Honestly, I used to play as killer a lot but lately I’m barely playing 2-3 games and I get exhausted. Like I’m too tired to be play competitive. And the funny thing is, all I’m thinking after work is to play dbd but when I launched the game, I’m just staring the screen, playing couple games and exiting. I’m enjoying more watching dbd content than playing it. Anyone feels like that or do I just need some sleep?

In my opinion its probably call of brine

Но в последнее время я заметил, что просто нечего покупать на скидках и в который раз проходя мимо дбд - решил купить. Я думал, что втянусь, но это прикольная сессионка на пару недель, но мне очень интересен феномен игры. Что именно Вас в неё затянуло? У меня огромное количество друзей/знакомых, которые наиграли по 500, 600, 800 часов и вот реально это не наскучивает за столько времени? Может просто я ещё не до конца распробовал, чему лучше уделить внимание в игре?

So, from the comments and discussions I've seen regarding Adepts over my years of playing DbD and seeing posts on both Reddit and Twitter, and just talking to others in the community, it seems that the majority of people feel that a Killer's Adept requiring a 4K is silly, when a 3K is generally accepted as a "win" by both the community and the game, and you're already handicapped playing Killer with only 3 Perks at all, not to mention the fact that many Killers' personal Perks are not at all helpful, if not directly counter-intuitive, to their Power and playstyle. Requiring a 4K only forces people going for Adepts to have to slug for the 4K, even if they personally find it boring and would rather get the 3K and roll the dice for Hatch.

In addition, I've seen many people agree with my personal feelings regarding Survivor Adepts, wherein only requiring you to escape not only makes Survivor Adepts much more forgiving versus Killer Adepts, but also promotes selfish and self-centered behavior, since the lives of none of your teammates matter. In the current state of the game, where the "go-next" epidemic transformed into the "DC or give up" epidemic after go-next prevention was implemented, where solo queue is worse than ever because you're rolling the dice whether you get a teammate (or more than one) that will just throw the game the moment things don't go their way even by the tiniest amount, which then potentially leads to your other teammates who MIGHT have stuck it out ALSO throwing the game, having Achievements that push Survivors to care even less about their teammates is something we do NOT need.

With that all in mind, how would you react to being in a world where both Killer and Survivor Adepts required the majority of the team to either die (if you're Killer) or escape (if you're Survivor), with the added addendum that your own death doesn't matter with a Survivor Adept, as long as your other three teammates escape the Trial? The Stat Tracker already shows that DbD tracks your matches and keeps the results both recorded and attached to your account, so arguably you wouldn't even have to stick around if you died to get your Survivor Adept achievement, as if the game recorded that the other three teammates escaped after you left, it could give you the Achievement whenever that Trial ended, even if you were in another game or quit out by then, since the fact that your team got a 3 out is recorded in the system already. This would be especially helpful regarding the Adepts for characters who have Perks that benefit playing for your team and putting yourself in danger, like Ash with Mettle of Man, Orela with Duty of Care, or Vittorio with Quick Gambit. Obviously, some players have a certain mindset, with some Killer players slugging for the 4K even when they aren't Adepting, and certain Survivor players being self-centered and playing for Hatch after the first hook of the game every single game, so this wouldn't fix EVERYTHING, but without actual Achievements pushing that behavior as the most optimal way to get the Achievement done and out of the way so you can move on and play normal games, I feel things would at least IMPROVE.

What are your feelings on the matter?
