Skill checks

Whut Whut
in Feedback and Suggestions

Hello,

So ive always wondered why the devs dont simply change how the skillcheck system works. With a good skill check you can just keep repearing the gen at normal speed, and with a great check you get 5%ish? Extra.

Keep this for low ranks green and below.

However change how this works for purple, and red ranks. Lets say purple hits a good skill check he will get a small (even 1% works) penalty towards gen progression speed, and with a great skill check it will be normal speed or smaller percentage gain then lower ranks. Red ranks get a bigger penalty for hitting good skill checks, and great skill check it will remain at the same gen speed as regular good skill checks now.

This is the only way you will ever balance this game for all the ranks. Or at least do something RANK specific. This could also be done with perks, red ranks can only bring level 1, while green and lower get rank 3. Just too name something. I really cant imagine survivors complaining about such small nerfs, especially when you can get rank 1 survivor with no perks or items useage.

And yes im fully aware that my grammar sucks, thank you very much.

    We've been suggesting changes based on ranks for a while. But they don't listen.

    If this was implemented you wouldn't see any people in red ranks, people would just derank to have faster queue times and to have easier games.

    Also I don't think you should be punished for playing this game a lot.

    So you see scaling difficulty as a punishment?

    I just see it as nobody will play in red ranks, since ranks are only showing how much you play, so being rank 1 doesn't mean you're god at this game, it just means you play a lot, and I don't think you should be punished for playing a lot.

    If you play alot, you know how too play. You would also know you dont need a single perk as a survivor. They are just bonuses. Also it would be cool if rank would actually mean something. Not just "I play 6 hours a day"

    Skill checks aren't really skill though lets be honest. They only put them in there to stop people texting while they work on a gen. Or from falling asleep.
