News & Announcements

Winter Event

Mathieu - "It's out. Did you notice?"

  • New lobby screen
  • In-game and map changes
  • New achievements
  • New Killer cosmetics (Mathieu - "They have bright, blue eyes.")
  • Comeback of the firestarters ("Party Starters")
  • Mathieu - "There are super secret, exciting Mystery Boxes {in the Bloodweb}."

 

PSX

Mathieu - "This week, we were at PSX and it was super fun. We met a lot of really excited people. At those events, we have people play without any Perks or items. It streamlines the experience but it also has some pure in the sense of the experience."

Stefan - "Vanilla, if you will."

Mathieu - "We had beanies. We only gave it out to people who played as The Killer and killed everybody. We also had stress balls [23sec]. We had a backpack, also, that we gave to Survivors that managed to make it out alive."

1 Mathieu - "We're not gonna do anything significant before we come back from the break, in January. Don't expect a new Chapter next week or a big update; that was the big thing. If something goes wrong, we're gonna be able to react. In French, we say 'attache ta tuque avec d'la broche' which loosely translates to 'tie your beanie down with wire.' It means get ready, something something..."


Q&A

  • Why is there no Double Bloodpoint for Winter Event?

Mathieu - "I was asking Thomas today, and he told me we're working on a lot of new ways to interact and reward during those events and we want to do away with the Double Bloodpoints."

Not_Queen - "And since we just changed the point generation, I think we were good to take a break."

  • What's the difference between the new Mystery Boxes and the old ones?

Stefan - "It's a mystery..."

Mathieu - "It's mysterious."

Not_Queen - "First off, they are spawning a lot more often. And second, I think they can give other stuff..."

  • What's the community concept you like the most?

Mathieu - "We really liked a gamemode ideas, tournament ideas. There was some really nice ones out there. Lore bits are super fun to read even though most of them are absolutely wrong. There was a Houdini Survivor that came out a few weeks back that was really well thought through."

  • Decisive Strike stuns for 4.7 seconds even when the description says 4, and Enduring only reduces the DS stun by 35% instead of 37%. Are these bugs, or intended?

Stefan - "When you drop somebody, it takes 1 second. That 1 second is not modified by the stun. This is the time that the Killer is letting go of the Survivor. The survivor then gets 4 seconds to run; that's from the time that he can actually start moving. That .7 seconds is a point where the Killer and Survivor are kind of in limbo before we can start going, which is why it says 4 seconds. The 35% should have been changed to 75% reduction. If that is still occurring, we are more than happy to look into it."

  • Headcase on console when?

Mathieu - "Headcase is available on XBOX since a couple of days depending on your region. For PS4, we're still waiting on Sony to get back to us."

  • What is being done about hatch standoff?

Mathieu - "At this stage, the hatch standoff is a design side, so we have a lot of ideas that are being kicked about, but nothing is being implemented as we speak."

Stefan - "We want to close the hatch as the Killer...if he gets there first. You {as the Survivor} can do the gens, but I want a key to spawn in the basement, allowing you to have another point of interest. This would directly buff Territorial Imperative."

  • What's your vision of Freddy?

Methieu - "We do have stats, but I'm not gonna show them today. Right now, data tells us that Freddy is in the exact-right position. The community is sorta iffy about it, and we feel that he might be nerfed a little too much but we don't know. Right now, it's not a critical issue that we're addressing as we speak."

  • What are your personal favorite Killer to face and Killer you hate to face?

Mathieu - "Favorite Killer to face? I'll have to say Hillbilly, 'cause there's fewer surprises with Hillbilly. And the worst to face is definitely The Nurse."

Not_Queen - "My favorite is The Nurse. I think the worst for me is probably Trapper 'cause I always have to look around and be careful."

Stefan - "I like playing against The Shape, specifically when I'm in voice-chat. I love hearing people scream. Worst Killer? I don't know... It's usually the people who are unrelentless that bothers my competitive brain."

  • Any news on the Workshop? I would like to submit a UI menu mod for this game.

Mathieu - "Not yet. We want to do it and a lot of other options to open the door to the Workshop."

  • Did the general level design philosophy change since launch? If so, why? The new maps seem to be complex and complicated than the others at release.

Mathieu - "It's true that the maps are getting more complex, but that's mostly because we're getting more comfortable now with the game mechanics and the tools we created for map generation and creation, the tile system, how to stretch it to its limit and use it well."

Stefan - "Feedback has helped a lot as well."

  • Since Matt couldn't be in the last stream, could we have him in this one?

Mathieu - "No. He's busy. Also, I asked him and he said, 'No.' "

  • Is it possible to get a new horror jumpscare gamemode with no terror radius and no Perks?

Mathieu - "That's a great example of Community Suggestions that we asked about at the very beginning. That would be quite a lot of fun."

  • Just found out that Anti-Hemorrhagic Syringe automatically wakes up Survivors. Is this intended?

Mathieu - "If you go from dying to injured, you automatically wake up. Therefore, yes."

  • Have you ever considered adding hazards to maps that could injure Survivors? For example, a Survivor hits a trip wire and they get shot by an arrow.

Mathieu - "Sounds like a Killer power...Or maybe an offering where you get poison gas in the basement or something."

  • Is The Entity worshipped in the Real World? The Wraith add-on suggests this, but I would like some confirmation.

Mathieu - "Philip brought things and ideas to Dead By Daylight's universe when he transferred over. The Entity might be worshipped here. (Maybe some of you do it on the weekends...) But it's not related to him."

  • Last stream, the 3D Animator mentioned having to make real-life videos to base them off of for the Mori. (Oscar-winning acting by Sean, by the way.) Will he ever show us the rest of the concept videos for the other Mori's?

Mathieu - "I asked {David} and he was like, 'Last week when we showed them, we looked everywhere and that's the only one we could find... If you want, I could shoot some right now to recreate the animations, but...' it's not real."

  • Will there be presents from The Entity for us for Christmas or were we too naughty?

Mathieu - "There's no such thing as too naughty. But done! You just got a bunch of presents in the form of bright, piercing, blue eyes and Party Starters and the cool lobby..."

  • There is still a bug where rebinding M1 to Q or anything else for interactions/doing generators causes animation cancels when trying to open chests. Making them take 10x longer to open and create a lot more noise.

Mathieu - "I will copy-paste that to our QA mailing list and let them handle that one..."

Shelby {off-camera} - "Q key-binding is bugged."


Wraith Panel (w/Stefan) #LegDay

Panel Link [15min]

Stefan - "The new Wraith does depend on a slightly different style of play. Before, you might have been uncloaking very far from Survivors because you'd be penalized so much from uncloaking that you'd have to strategically plan many moves ahead. Now, you can uncloak behind a wall and they'll only hear the bell..."

 

There's some talk of math and LegDay curves with regards to speed, as well as how Perks such as Bloodhound are affected...

Did u actually just delete the double exp vote? Wow.

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 10:34 AM PST

Our old post on this subreddit got deleted, we reached about 400 upvotes on this matter. Even though I get that there are rules about not asking for upvotes, imo the should have given us a warning instead of deleting it in an instant. We as a community have to stick together and make it clear to the devs what we really want and what is important to us during this event.

WE. WANT. DOUBLE. BLOODPOINTS.

Edit: After mistar_z displayed the rules about what is wrong with this post, I deleted the twitter link so this post will not be deleted. Instead I created a poll where you awesome guys can vote.

Since the x2 Post was mod removed we need to voice what we think more directly

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:16 AM PST

This Post Was removed by a fantastic moderator and apparently we aren't allowed to try and voice our opinion on BHVR's decision in upvote form.

What the fuck is the point of the subreddit then

Nearly reaching 400 upvotes in under 2 hours and it's removed.

We need to be more direct so the mods from here don't shut it down, at least that way we know they're ignoring us outright.

Send them a tweet about the lack of a bloodpoint event BUT DO NOT BE RUDE IN ANY WAY.

The last thing we need is people being mean about this, it has never and will never solve anything.

Happy Holidays to everyone even the mod who shut down the last one.

No more double BP Events.

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 05:36 AM PST

Let's hope the drop in players this Christmas will change that stance. Making the grind longer to make people play more is an extremely silly idea in the long run.

What's up with the developers on this game? Ive been playing for a while now and everyone was talking about triple blood point possibilities and then we get nothing?

Blood Hunts are a DbD Tradition

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:00 AM PST

Having read up on the Dev Stream, I was somewhat surprised by this particular statement

Why is there no Double Bloodpoint for Winter Event? Mathieu - "I was asking Thomas today, and he told me we're working on a lot of new ways to interact and reward during those events and we want to do away with the Double Bloodpoints."

I am 100% behind finding new ways to interact and reward players,but the blood hunts have been here since release. In my thousand hours, I have happily played through several blood hunts, and even a blood feast! These events brought in large numbers of new and returning players, creating more and varied games, boosted sales during the event (especially when coupled with a sale or free weekend) and brought pleasure to the player base.

I am not asking the Devs to not innovate, but I am asking them to reconsider not having blood hunts...these events have become DbD tradition for your players and fans, and a lot of us feel let down and frustrated that you want to stop doing these events.

BHVR when it comes to reducing the grind

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 12:09 PM PST

Community: Reduce the grind, BHVR! It's ridiculous!

BHVR: Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

five years later

BHVR: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-okay we reduced it a little bit but we neutered the dailies and will no longer do double BP events.

What to do instead of play during the 'Christmas Event'

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:54 AM PST

Nothing has changed at all... (make sure to sign on once for the cosmetics though!)

 

  • You can play other games. Some people enjoy Overwatch, and I've heard that they are doing an actual Christmas Event so...

  • You can celebrate an end to the year and a happy new year with your family.

  • You can clean the dishes in the sink

  • You can feel bad because of Ajit Pai

  • You can say mean things to the dev team on twitter, don't do that actually...

  • You can do anything else at all cuz this 'Christmas Event' is not a Christmas Event. There is nothing to re-ignite experienced players' love for the game or shine a beacon towards passerbys in hope to attract new players. However, this year, with the pretty good job that the dev team did, we don't get anything else at all (because they need to take a break from rapidly saving our game). Cool!!!! I love Behaviour!!!!!!

Monto's wheel...

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 04:37 AM PST

I've been watching Monto for about three months now, and I love his little wheel gimmick, and would love to see something similar in the game where you hit a button and it randomizes, and locks in your perks for that round.

I'm just curious as to how many people would like to see something like this added to the game.

Switched from Hag to Doctor and I received this message today. Thoughts?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 08:45 AM PST

I started playing killer about 2 weeks ago, started with the hag and transitioned to the doctor (I like his backstory).

Anyways, I typically run around with treatment mode. When I hear them whispers, I spam my surge because that usually means someone is nearby (I could be wrong?).

I run and chase them to get to tier 2, then I switch to punishment if they dont get away..hook em and wonder.

Well this scenario, I hooked a survivor and ran away. As I was running away, I saw his friend going for the rescue. What would you do...ignore him? No other activity on the map.

I lost the rescuer so I went to the guy that I hooked and this has to be the guy I sacrificed. He switched to an account with 0 GS and left me a message. (I left out the username)

Warning...terrible words: https://imgur.com/JD5hd19

TLDR: Harmful words after doctor game.
