How to fix % generator slowdown perks.

Just make Thanatophobia and Dying Light(Along with all future % generator slowdown perk) have this as part of the effect:

This does not stack with other generator slowdown perks. Only the perk with the highest % generator slowdown will be applied.

This would let the devs balance/buff Thanatophobia and Dying Light without them needing to worry about them or future perks stacking because as it currently stands neither is worth using even when stacked.

    We could.

    Or we could not nerf generator progression perks for Killers and instead look at generator repair speeds and stacking efficiency for Survivors. But that's just crazy talk.

    First things first: This is NOT a nerf as if this suggestion were to go through they'd buff thana and dying light since they no longer would have to worry about stacking and thus could make both stronger individually.

    Secondly the devs have said repeatedly they won't be nerfing base solo generator repair speeds anymore and they have already nerfed stacking efficiency exponetially past the first 2(Previously 4 man gens took ~ 28.5 seconds and now they take ~36.36)

    Why I say we should address the slow down stacking as its been the boogeyman of the development team since they looked at thana the last time.

    The Devs are bitches too scared to do anything about the actual problems with the game. "We aren't going to touch generator speeds anymore" - directly translates to 'we are too scared that Survivors will quit playing the game if we change their repair speeds to actually take longer than they do now and be more dangerous to commit to'. It's sickening how much they walk on eggshells with the balance in this game.
