10 Most Important Moments in Dead by Daylight History
Ойындар
What were the most impactful things to happen during Dead by Daylight history? The things that altered the game significantly and lead to huge change. Today I want to look through and pick 10 different moments that changed DbD forever.
At the time of this video's release Chapter 32 has been announced as Dungeons & Dragons! The PTB is out and the new killer is Vecna, as well as an elf Survivor and castle map!

Number 11: Dredge being the first time an original chapter was used for the anniversary. Him being the first full monster killer with unique cosmetic segmentation. the start of the new anniversary events with the twisted masquerade. him being the start for weapons having custom animations

Honestly, I always thought silent Hill was one of the most important chapters ever announced. We've been asking for a full/proper horror game licenced chapter for years. With silent Hill being one of the most requested before FNAF requests took off. When we finally got a silent hill chapter, we saw waves a players joining in, with numbers comparable to the stranger things release. If Halloween was the first horror movie license that gave DBD it's starting point, silent Hill was the first horror game license that helped placed DBD on the map.

The SH chapter was when I started playing and I’ve always been a huge SH fan-boutta prestige 100 James Sunderland as my main-, plus that was during COVID so it was a great time to immerse yourself into a new game
The release of Curtain Call in patch 2.0 is worth a mention too. This is the patch that introduced a levelling system, reworked shards and the entire prenium currency that is Auric Cells, along with a cosmetic store to keep bringing in revenue for the game.

It also introduced maurice, so it has an even higher level of importance.
"Made For This" was a game changer. It shifted meta on release (having about 48% of players use this perk each match). It was, and still is, two perks in one. Some people over look the 3% and don't think it was much but DBD is a game where mere milliseconds can make a difference. Just to throw in an example, the loop in main building on "Dead Dawg Saloon" became an infinite; as well as many other loops across all the maps. One last thing to note, the 3% accommodated to about a 4.12 m/s run speed compared to the regular 4.00 m/s (110% killers are 4.20 m/s)

AZHYMOVS I can’t believe you forgot, “I think we did a pretty good job so far” from Cote
I'd also say Demise Of The Faithful was very important as it completely changed the lore of the game and how it's treated, before it we got quite basic characters, but with Jane and Plague we started getting more complex stories, and with them a bit after the tomes followed up on that
I would personally include the End game collapse, it completely changed the end game.
Yay, this way my suggestion on the community tab! Loved seeing this to feed the nostalgia as a veteran playing since Trapper was the only killer!

8:03 Ayy that's me Is so worth to rewatch now for more funny moments such as this
Release of Artist when anti loop killers stars to appear. Release of Boon perks. Release of Knight. (How in the world this kind of killer design make it to game)
Matthew Cote getting bullied on stream was so brutal but definitely necessary, before that, the devs absolutely refused to do anything that would help killer, it makes me wish all games had some kind of experience where the devs have to see what the worst parts of their games are like

I haven't think about the mechanic between the 2) -Little Nightmares (In someway because it might be hard to use monsters from that world because they are supposed to be bigger than the player) -Dead Space (Ishimura as a map, and necromorph as the killer. You might be able to change between 3 necromorphs) -Fatal Frame (The killer is one of the ghosts and there are other ghosts aswell the same way with Nemesis has zombies, and you can counter them with taking photos of them) -Until Dawn -Soma

@@deamonnight955 Thats true, it probably won't happen because of the costumes. But that cabin in the woods and wendigo killer would be cool. Even if its inside map, it would atleast be another snowy map -which i would like because we have only one.
The UE 5 upgrade is going to potentially bring soooo many awesome things. Work for a studio that's just down the street from Behavior and we've done a couple UE 5 upgrades ourselves, they are never bug free, but the benefits that will come down the road are going to be awesome. Who knows, maybe we'll even see a return of the Bouquets as UE5 has vastly improved/optimized lighting and shadow systems, granted the existence of indoor maps would make those less likely to return as well I suppose since they would have to have some effect within those maps too.
The Stranger Things chapter was also the first time a non-human killer was added to the fog.
12:31 Can you please elaborate what "multiple full reworks" you are talking about here? In her entire history, Skull Merchant received only one complete rework, and that's it. Just compare it to Onryo, who got 3 complete reworks since her release...

I was going off of what the wiki said tbh. Over there it's classified as 2 reworks: deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Adriana_Imai?so=search Definitely up for intpretation though. My point was largely just that the community rallied and she got changed substantially/multiple times in a year.

@@AZHYMOVS oooh I see! I believe it was only a few slight alterations here and there, but prior to her actual rework she primarily stayed the same. Kind of like how new twins don’t feel “reworked” but rather slightly changed (in their case, buffed) from previous twins, as opposed to their recent PTB where that wasn’t “slight changes” but an actual rework
I’m so glad dbd got a lore update with the tomes, i always find games much more fun to play when there’s a story to uncover! And im so happy that my main, artist, is finally getting some attention in the tomes so i can read even more about her!
Surprised dedicated servers' implementation wasn't mentioned. Otherwise great video as always
I feel like you got robbed of that hit at 2:22
I wish we got a 6.1.0 perk overhaul more often. They did nerf gen kicking perks that were over buffed back then but for survivors, dead hard aside, it's been the same. Made for This happened but it didn't last long and that's pretty much it. DS is kinda back? But exhaustion are still a big need, UB, Adrenaline, Self-Care, WoW remain extremely popular.
I’m surprised Mikaela isn’t on here. circle of healing was so strong for so long, and it definitely changed the way most players and the devs looked at healing (especially self heals)
Hey Azhy! I Was Wondering If You Could Do A Video Smilar To Another Video You Made Which Was Who Would Win If Every Killer Fought, But For Survivors Instead. I Think That Would Be A Banger.
I don't know if I'm just tripping, but I swear that after the shift to UE5, the game seems to load way more efficiently and faster
I think when killers were able to vault/when blood lust was introduced should be on this list, im not sure if the game was out or in beta when this happened though. I also think when the silent hill chapter was announced it was a big deal as well, finally bringing horror game licenses in the picture. Also activation based easter eggs in maps came in with this chapter too(if you don't count the golden toolbox ofc) The endgame collapse was also a game changer. Matches didn't last hours upon hours. Same with the hatch changes, being able to close the hatch was absolutely helpful to not make matches last 15 hours.
Biggest impact IMO was the IP acquisition from Starbreeze. BHVR had their game funded from starbreeze, their publisher. They were able to buy the full rights to Dead by Daylight before the curtain call chapter. No more rushed chapters, no more forced content, no more control from Starbreeze. They could do whatever they want with the game from that point and make their own schedule.
I remember when they changed survivor movement, everyone was freaking out saying you couldn't 360 anymore. I recall no one even tried to go for them for a few days until they figured out you could still do it.
I think it was also very important when they added the shop, before that day, most survivors and killers looked the same and today we have things like legendary skins which change the whole character, like naughty bear
Got a flashback where I was a rank 20 huntress (or whatever was the lowest rank in ye Olde days) a d was put in a lobby where all the survivors were 6 or better. Got swamped, didn't even injured one.
you should have put Legion in, i mean the mend have really got a big impact on the game
Honorable mention to 7th February 2024 - release of the Lights Out Mod. Obviously it was a bit of a bust but with the Chaos Shuffle being such a hit we could see these mods returning more often :D
The demogorgon is aldo important because it broke a rule that was previously set, which was "no monsters". Thanks to the Demogorgon we got killers such as the Unkown, the xenomorph, and a lot more interesting killers!
I’m high asf and it really made me think that I been playing this game since Ghostface 4 years ago 😭
ur one of the best dbd yters keep doin what ur doin
I do feel bad for the early devs of this game. They didnt realize how busted Nurse would be. To them teleportation was an easy power to code in and was a simple but enjoyable idea. Its just they didnt realize that they were creating a killer that made all those that came after it obsolete
I can already tell the inevitable Fnaf Crossover will be able to make this list.
I would also consider introfuction of Clown. Graphics has changed, shop and skin were introfuced as well
What I find funny is how 3 gen is still relevant and easy. I honestly believe its bugged and 8 regression events wont block a gen. But it is common for 8 events to be enough for a killer to win a game.
What about the visual heartbeat and colorblind options?
And don't forget Chucky, The first killer in 3rd person camera view, also the only real killer we got of all time , because you know all killers are stretched and messed up in case to be playable as first person and they look goofy in shadows 🤣
Really intersting vid to catch up with dbd history as a more recent player Out of interest, what's the background song? That shit is catchy af
nobody’s gonna see this probably, but my younger brother was born the exact date the nurse released (yes the year too)
6.1.0 was when i quit haven’t been back since :/. I miss old dbd so much but getting tunneled and camped at 5 gens and not being able to do anything ruined it for me.
What about the endgame collapse mechanic?
Pretty good job so far.
Everyone talks about how important hexes were but forgets you couldnt kick gens for way too long
You forgot the changes to the hatch. No more standoffs and the introduction of the endgame collapse. Also, the change to hex: ruin
Incineroar, that's the best Pokemon since gen 7 in 2016
I have an answer to the first question: the one about remaining meta for over seven years. Rhino from Warframe, literally an end game stomper ever since his release, despite the nerfs he stayed on top and with the armor rework he charged up to even greater heights.
7 blink nurse is the most evil thing there can be. Even entity is so afraid, it reworked it.
0:40 Magic the Gathering
I feel the MMR system would be cool if I wasn't constantly loaded into games where survivors just killed themselves the first time they got hooked...
ps5 still has glitches from the unreal 5 upgrade
Stranger Things was also the first time we got 2 survivors in a chapter!
When talking about boons and hex’s, why do you think boons have infinite uses where hex’s are a 1 time thing. Exclude undying because that’s 2 perks for 1 actual use

I feel like people undermined the Unreal Engine 5 update.
Halloween paved the way for every license that came after and sparked my desire to play this game. I still get shivers from the trailer seven years later! As for SM, the hatred towards her has become another staple of DBD culture and more time is needed to see if this ever diminishes. Some of the ideas the community has come up with to reimagine her power/lore are all great too. If she has made people dissect quality better or more appreciative of another killer, those are good things. Thank you for the video. ❤

idk if that could be contained in the list but imo the silent hill chapter is also a big moment in the history of dbd since that opened the gates for horror games to be licensed into the game like later on resident evil. apart from that getting the actual license from konami for pyramid head was also first thought to be impossible until dbd proved us wrong
Not gonna lie, I still kinda prefer it when the game didn’t have MMR. Having a more casual fun slasher chase game was more enjoyable than the competitive sweat fest we usually have to deal with today
The gameplay at 2:22 is so painful to watch
