How hard is it to go to a jigsaw box? The game does a lovely job of explaining mechanics to new players so to someone just playing it's a white highlighted thing and who knows what that means.

Does the clock work similarly in the way Jigsaw box work? Like, you hav a chance it doesn't work and you have to trek the entire map just to die horribly?

No, it works, people just need to go to it and click. But I'm telling you...you guys are thinking from the lens of experienced players, when I started I didn't know that you had to go to white glowing things unless I googled it. :D

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Also the only real consequence of being asleep vs Freddy (well, besides marginally speeding up his teleports) is not hearing a terror radius, you can still tell he's coming by his stupid lullaby

Not that the game tells you that either I realize, but they couldn't even give him proper stealth as a gimmick

If the new killer has a complicated power with survivor interaction were probably going to see sadako level kill rates, survivors really don't want to learn killers at this point. Same with Freddy being so high, there's just a distaste of survivors wanting to do anything other than gens and loops

You're also affected by snares, which makes looping a bit harder.

bhvr has confirmed that the new killer doesn’t use the names of any culturally sensitive supernatural critters.

Now, given the analog horror slant, the original hypothesizing may have just been totally off base, or maybe the killer has some elements of those things but doesn’t go as far to take from them wholesale.

Brutal against low MMR solo groups, literally would not have a power against SWFs.

And then nerfed into the ground two weeks later because low MMR solo groups complained.

The only way I could see "Oh, poo poo, that survivor was the killer all along!" working would be if the killer could somehow teleport to and possess an existing survivor. Like they pull out a teacup and start rubbing a spoon around the rim and BAM one of the survivors is now in the upside-down or whatever

But if we're talking about a whole "Hello fellow kids!" situation, I don't see that being doable at all.

On the plus side, I don't believe that asking survivors to stay away from their teammates and only trust them to do the bare minimum would affect solo queue any more than it would SWFs ;)

Pants Donkey posted:

One silver lining is that solo survivors would finally stop clustering on one gen when the game starts.

It's not my fault that one Daily requires 180 SECONDS of co-op action! Do you know how many matches that will take??

BUFFS FOR AMANDA LET'S loving GO

e: Lots of angry pig players in the forums regarding the removal of jigsaw box auras. I'm kinda glad for the nerf to that playstyle, honestly. It was too easy to just tunnel the poo poo out of someone once you had a trap on them by following them around to the boxes while ignoring everyone else. The trap timer change is a bit unnecessary but whatever. Ambush and crouch speed buffs are extremely welcome.

e2: I don't understand why Huntress is getting buffed. She was fine where she was, now she's going to be everywhere and even easier to hook camp with her.

It is funny the Pig buffs came with nerfs. I mean, I agree that camping puzzle boxes was not fun, but the increased trap timer feels unnecessary.

Yep. Adjust the tampered timer/gear addons if timer length is an issue. There's no reason to extend the base length.

There's two main reasons I can think of.

1) Her kill rates were surprisingly low in the stats they showed off last week. Even when you account for her being a killer all the new players try, it's kind of weird.

2) She's a character everyone has and everyone enjoys, and you want to give characters like that a little walking around money every now and then because everyone is going to enjoy it.

Although knowing BHVR, somehow this buff will end up being a massive nerf and also bug out the Knight, making them killswitch his rear end for 3 months again.

That's usually the case, yes. These are some really questionable balance changes, at best.
