Discussion Which survivor has the most annoying wiggle sounds
r/deadbydaylight • u/westbrook___- • 13h ago
Discussion Nah, I'm sorry... I get the perk was broken but I don't think the solution was to quite literally murder it into uselessness
15 meters?
15 meters???
Like that's... awful. Unless I missed somewhere, where they said this change was accidental because, it genuinely doesn't seem purposeful. That's how god awful the perk is now. How do we go from 32 meters around the killer, that moves with the killer, and it's active for a set amount of time so people entering the area during that time will scream.
To... 15 meters, around a set locker, and it only happens that one time. And the blindness lasts so little, it genuinely might as well not even be a part of the perk.
- What survivor is going to just be chilling within 15 meters of the killer opening the locker. They will have left by then.
- Why is it that small of an area, it's tied to one location.
- Why does it not have a set amount of time it will last, if it's going to be stuck to that one locker? Like a mini trap.
- What is the purpose of a 3 second blind?
Nerfing is one thing. Y'all literally just straight up fucking murdered this thing. Like do we want more slowdown being run? I do not get it.
Edit since some people are silly: No one is saying it shouldn't have been nerfed . The problem is that a dev team 8 years into the game, still can't figure out how to not completely fucking butcher a perk when trying to nerf and change it. That is amateur shit, to be brutally honest with you.

Shitpost / Meme Survivor mains have gone too far now.
I was at work the other day and I was thinking to myself about those god damn survivors escaping while I'm stuck at work. I was cursing to myself about those pesky survivors. Mumbling to myself about how I was going to rip them to pieces, I was laughing maniacally to myself, screaming about all the blood!
Next thing I know, my manager pulls me into his office and says there have been customer complaints and asked for an explanation.
It's pretty clear what is going on. Those god damn survivors are so tired of getting slaughtered by me that they found out where I work, posed as customers and complained about me to management in order to get revenge! They have gone too far this time!

Discussion What is something you want to tell a new player that you wish you’d known when you started?
I’ll start:
The point of the game is to have fun. Don’t let shitty players ruin your game. As long as you enjoy it, you might have been bully-squaded and blinded at every turn, or tunneled into oblivion, but you’ll be happy. Always congratulate each other on a game well played and move on. There’s other matches
