Another haddonfield update? What's wrong with the current rework? The horrible 3 gens and the punishing main building?

Also please God don't tell me DS is being nerfed again, it's already so incredibly bad

We can only hope. Him and nurse are suffocating killer perk design, so many killer perks had/have to be neutered because they exist.

God, I really hope so. He's one of maybe two or three killers I will just give up on playing against. He's so incredibly unfun to go against, especially if he has the bullshit addons, and he always does.

Among other things, they've changed the main menu UI for no reason. You have to click into a submenu to select killer or survivor now, and the bp bribe is on that sub menu. Also survivor names and prestiges in lobbies are extremely large, to the point of weird overlap happening.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
The tricky thing with Blight (and to a lesser extent, Nurse) is that in the hands of someone that knows how to play them they are devastating no matter what perks or add ons you're using.

But...for the people that don't play Blight, he suuuuuuucks. Like genuinely sucks. Hitting his rushes is hard to do and you eventually end up just becoming a M1 killer with some additional mobility. So I'm sure the data they have shows he's not a "top tier" killer due to having a low kill rate overall.

This is where the "nerf pig" meme came from, the last time they showed kill rates she was #1 kill rate considering all players.

I tried blight exactly once and found his rushes easy as hell. Easier to land than Nurse, for sure.

HillBilly is now the absolute #1 tunnel king. Its very fun but man it must suck to play against.

Also an m1 killer with IMMENSE mobility is still really really good in this game because *gestures to the previous sentence*

FOV slider is excellent and should've been in the game a long time ago. Sadly doesn't fully help with my motion sickness on some killers (hag's gen damage animation is still incredibly bad for me) but it does help a bit.

every time I try blight I have to learn the difference between each and every individual chunk of debris and whether it counts as a "thing you'll slide on" or "thing you'll bounce on" and it is not consistent with any aspect of whatever the object is whatsoever

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, with Nurse at least if you miss you just go into her stun animation and try again. You make a wrong move with Blight and you end up careening off into the distance like a loving Wile E Coyote cartoon

But you absolutely cannot balance a killer for low tier play. That doesn't really make sense.

Mr. Locke

Nurse is more mechanically different and harder to grock at first since you don't have any options besides the special stuff, while you can still play Blight as a 115 M1 killer in between bounces to get you 'close enough' for a start.

But Nurse's blinks are way easier to get a functional level then Blight Bounces in even your average jungle gym or moderately-strong structure. Her ceiling is absolutely higher, but that's because of how strong Nurse's blinks are and how flexible they are as tools, giving you more decision points. For mechanical difficulty I'd say getting Blight from Rush as a travel power and occasionally strong against Survivors in the (relative) open to Rush as a truly intimidating chase power is way more involved.

I am absoolutely poo poo at hillbilly but it just doesn't matter when I cross map. As long as I get the first hook relatively quickly, its one of the eziest/tunneliest 4k's so far. People are upset in end game chat.

Generators System Update
The 3-gen strategy (identifying the closest 3 Generators and defending only them) has become very strong, especially on certain Killers. This can lead to very long games and frustration. To help prevent such situations, the following now applies:

Each Generator can only suffer 8 regression events maximum.
After the max has been reached on a Generator, that Generator can no longer be regressed by the Killer (including kicks, Add-ons, and Perk-related regressions).

Perks Affected
Hex: Ruin
All Generators are affected by Hex: Ruin. While a Generator is not being repaired by a Survivor, it will immediately and automatically regress repair progress at 50%/75%/100% of the normal regression speed. (no longer deactivates when a Survivor is killed).

If I'm reading this right, in a game that has Ruin, Survivors can start the game by tapping a generator 8 times. This will cause 8 generator regression events on that generator, preventing Ruin from working and preventing the Killer from kicking that generator for the rest of the match. Is that how it's really going to work?

IIRC a gen has to lose at least 2.5% at once to count as a regression event, so ruin is immune

E: oh wait, they deleted gen tapping, to stop regression you have to repair a gen for 5% now

Ruin does not count as a regression event.

They consider a regression event when a gen loses 5% or more in one action, so Ruin won't count. Looks like Overcharge and Eruption only count as one as well, despite there being the initial kick + perk proc.

So uhhhh, ~15 games played on new billy, using only brown and yellow addons. Every game has been a wipe. Only one was close, only one completed all gens. Tunnel machine. Lethal pursuer and find a baby. Hook then pretend to leave only to overcharge back to the hook. It works just about every time. I keep waiting for it to not work, but you might want to bring anti-tunnel on survivor because oof.

Finally found a Blight I could loop and he ragequit after failing to hit me long enough for two pallet stuns and 1.5 gens to get done. I'm not even that good in a chase, dunno what their excuse was. He had Lethal and picked me as the first chase, presumably expecting easy prey.
