Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

They had commented on the multi-floor thing before to the effect of "We're aware but that's a niche case so eh"

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS


Decided to go for the Xenomorph Adept the other night, man I felt bad for David because he was using No Mither so every time I hooked someone, he was on my radar (unless someone else was injured) thanks to Alien Instinct.

I felt bad after the match when I realized he was not only going for Adept, but only had level 1 perks. :(

Nerfing Skull Merchant has made her popular! They should do this more often, I guess

So Skull Merchant has a bug where two of her add-ons combine together to give you permanent stacking buffs to your break speed.

Meanwhile Background Player and Plot Twist can combine to give a survivor 250% movement speed. This is /not/ a bug.

:shepface:

Also all the Frosty Eyes cosmetics have just vanished so ???

Can't be mad about Plot Twist. You gotta lay there totally vulnerable for 30 seconds just to get your 4 seconds of zoomies.

Oh Background Player was just randomly buffed to give 200% movement speed. For five seconds. Plot Twist is just hilarious overkill.

I'm fine with Background Player being 200%. It's really only going to be super useful for sabo squads, which is going to suck, but it's not going to help in chases at all. It'll help you get out of dodge when Bubba downs someone right next to a hook and you need to get away ASAP, but overall it'll never hit my loadout.

I'm enjoying new Skull Merchant. She's definitely mid-tier at best and can't 3-gen anymore (thank god) but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. Probably helps that I like the aesthetic.

Really liking Lucky Star + Inner Healing. Mapwide survivor auras on demand when needed, the closest gen aura is surprisingly helpful, and IH is just all around great.

"you're a boring trapper, you should play nurse"

yes, god forbid I drop chase on the pre-dropping Kate who's using MFT and windows on eyrie of crows, and make an effort to block choke points, truly a very boring trapper, and not how his power is designed to be used.

Any survivor who calls you 'boring' is mad because they didn't get a free win. It's the same reason people call every anti-loop killer that comes out 'boring'. Oh no, they can't turn their brain off and do the same loop garbage they've put 4000 hours into practicing for 5 gens then teabag in the gate, better make it everyone else's problem that they can't and don't want to adapt to any other type of gameplay.

I've noticed an uptick of survivors trying to reset pallets right infront of me and then ragequitting when I punish them for it. IDGI. is this another survivor handbook thing where I'm supposed to just let them do that?

Doing anything to endanger the survivors' fragile state is grounds for an immediate banning.

quote:

BHVR is out of touch with this one.

Some things will happen because of this:
1. Top tiers will be more common than they already are.
2. Queues will be longer. Killers will just stop playing.
3. Slowdown perks will be even more common.
4. Killer sweat will increase.
5. Survivor perks have now received an indirect buff across the board.
6. Kill rates will go down.
7. Tunneling is going up
8. Hatch and gate giving is going down.

Killers are not gonna bother running anything that isn't strong anymore. They're gonna need the mobility to not camp or patrol HUGE maps and they're gonna need necessary slowdown to play that way. If the game is in limbo, players are getting tunneled out to try and get back into the game. Survivors believe this update is so good, but it's gonna bring far more harm. They're just too naive to look at it passed the mechanic itself.

Saw this post on Steam and laughed. From a supposed Survivor Main, but this totally reads as from a Killer main who loves to camp.

Edit - Regarding anti-camp

Right, since there's nothing to do other than bait survivors with a hook after the gates are powered.

Some people play a role in a game just to have power and sadistic control over somebody to make up for an inadequacy in the rest of their life. Taking away camping means that poster can't kick somebody for two minutes in a zero risk position to feel better.

Doing it regularly is poo poo but I'm not too proud to admit that there has been once or twice when I've had an extremely annoying and toxic TTV that I decided to put in the time out chair.

Proxy camping unfortunately has uses. Someone on hook and there's two gens within walking distance? Yep, the smart thing to do is to stay in that area.

It's not even the gens, it's the knowledge that hooked survivors attract rescuers within seconds of being put on the hook. The ideal thing is to let them bleed on the hook until they're almost at the next stage then rescue them, but it's pretty often you'll have one or more survivors diving the hook after ten seconds.


VVV Yeah that is a big part of it. If you turn it into a competition then tactics go out the window.

If someone on a hook is on the verge of Stage 2/3, the killer is almost guaranteed to be there to hassle you. After all, they only have to commit a few seconds of their time (not enough to give them a free unhook, even with the new system) to gain an entire hook stage.

Sure, but there's a difference between "unhooking the second before you change stages" and "killer takes two steps away and there is already someone unhooking". There's a lot of time there that could be spent on gens but it's usually a rush to get them off the hook for reasons already mentioned upthread.
