Any room for improvements?

Dump Scene Partner, pick up Parental Guidance. Stun the killer, they can't see scratch marks for 7 seconds gives you time to find a bush to Plot Twist into

Hmm, could see if you like Diversion in there as an alternative to scene partner. Throw rocks at the killer instead of screaming at them.

Both good suggestions - Diversion has given me some great comedic moments in the past, though it's really hard to beat that "scream in the killer's face 5 times in a row" value. Parental Guidance miiight just be creeping over too far into the "actually useful" category.

My current go-to decent-ish solo survivor build is Diversion, Deja Vu, Dramaturgy, and Windows. Even if Diversion doesn't get much value it's still at least amusing. Windows is mostly so I know if someone else made a massive deadzone and Deja Vu is how I desperately try to prevent 3-gens.

It needed more pallets, and I say that as a killer main. I spawned in with Windows on a survivor match and literally didn't see a single pallet.

This may be overkill, depending on how safe the loops remain.

They clarified in the patch notes that 18 is the maximum amount of pallets that can spawn. It won't spawn 18 pallets every time, it will stop spawning them when new pallets would be too close to other pallets. We'll see how egregious it is.

Ive honestly never had issues with Garden of Joy, aside from the inexplicable decision to add red vines that look like scratches, giving it a similar issue to Borgo. It might just be that I'm usually Wesker on that map though

I take indoor map offerings sometimes because those are fairly neutral and some of my favorites on survivor. But yeah, most of them just... suck and I dread seeing an Ormond offering or whatever when playing killer because I know it's usually taken to give an unfair advantage or be malicious instead of just liking a map. Sad since I actually enjoy Ormond.

I’ve never had issues with it either. It can be challenging, but it’s not even in the same league as Borgo, an ugly flat monochrome nightmare that literally hurts your eyes and has tons of geometry that still, even after several fixes will snag you on loops for no reason.

Throw it in the loving trash, man.

The only times I use map offerings is when I'm trying to clear out my inventory, or if I'm playing scratched Myers and I can just tell the game plans to send me to the farm or the swamp

I got sent to the farm nine times in a row one night. NINE. And it ONLY happens when I'm Myers, Wesker never gets sent there

Yeah I've seen that suggested before and I think it's a good compromise. Give me a chance to use all those Coldwind offerings I have (except Billy of course) on killer and all the Midwich offerings I have in 6 survivor

what a humorous anecdote.
New Borgo absolutely needed more pallets, the entire quarter of the map between main and shack had nothing in it except for the single high wall tile, despite having 2 almost guaranteed gen spawns in there with 2 more close by. For how often survivors need to go there (running away from gens being worked on in denser parts, or simply being there to work on 2 gens) it desperately needs more safety than it had.
And I'm saying this from the killer perspective. I often dropped chases when they went elsewhere simply because if I caught someone in that corner they got hit.

The map is still fugly.

Garden of joy is bad, but it only reaches its true potential when someones doing boil over bullshit.

That's when it beats Borgo as worst map.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

So I was messing around with Nurse again, mostly getting skunked by a SWF, getting a few more hits in than usual (I'm improving! I'll never take off my Plaid Flannel but I'm improving) but no one dead in endgame. I do chase someone off of the switch, he runs away. Then rather than chase him I teleported behind the closed gate and just waited. Figured they either come back to my gate or they all go out the other gate, whichever.

The first guy I was chasing tries the switch again. I teleport out, grab them and end up with the best 1K I've ever felt

If you want to have a laugh take Insidious and NOED and hide right outside the gate controls. They pop it open and you're right there to smack one down

A few weeks ago I was running doing exactly that, with the addition of:
Game Afoot (If you hit someone that you've chased the most, they become the Obsession)
Rancor (During endgame, your Obsession is exposed and you can Mori them)

I really wish offerings were pooled. I've got 80 goddam dowsing rods on Xenomorph, it would be nice to let other killers use them. Similarly I've got like 70 cakes on Singularity.

It's especially annoying with things like the dowsing rods that you can't use all the time. Right now I'm getting a ton of BPs that I would love to use to level up the characters I don't use a lot, but then they'll be left with a bunch of limited use items that are just going to gather dust.

yeah, offerings, and generic items need to be faction wide.

Can vaguely understand killer specific offerings not carrying, but, offerings? survivor items and addons?

Needs to be done soon.
