An update to The Plague

Bard Bard
in Feedback and Suggestions

Cleansing Changes

  • Survivors can now only cleanse at the fountain furthest from where they were infected.
  • Cleansing at a fountain no longer corrupts the fountain
  • Cleansing will cause a loud noise notification that notifies Plague of your location.
    • This noise bubble is visibly different, similar to how Tinkerer, Scream Bubbles, and Spies from the Shadows show the subject in the middle of the bubble.
    • (note that Plague can already tell where you are by noting the location of a pool of devotion that wasn't there previously, this is there to replace that mechanic).

Corruption Changes

  • The Plague no longer gains Corruption by drinking from a corrupted fountain.
  • The Plague can gain charges of Corruption through certain actions, up to 3 charges stored at any one time.
    • 5% of a charge for damaging a survivor with a basic attack or the advancement of Sickness (sickness advancing on an already injured survivor provides no bonus).
    • 10% of a charge for hooking a survivor
    • 10% of a charge when a survivor cleanses
    • 0.5% of a charge per second for each infected survivor (downed/hooked survivors not included).
    • 1% of a charge per second for each fully infected survivor (downed/hooked survivors not included)
  • If you have at least one charge of Corruption, hold E for one second to consume it and gain Corrupt Purge for 60 seconds.

Add-on Changes

(Common)

  • Prayer Tablet Fragment
    • No longer increases activation speed at a Pool of Devotion by 33%.
    • Now reduces the time to consume a charge of Corruption by 0.3 seconds.

(Uncommon)

  • Blessed Apple
    • No longer causes you to start with one Pool of Devotion corrupted.
    • Moderately decreases the duration of Corrupt Purge (-15 seconds)
    • After you have obtained a charge of Corruption, all subsequent ones start progression on 50% of a charge.

(Rare)

  • Ashen Apple
    • No longer causes you to start the trial with one Pool of Devotion corrupted.
    • No longer increases the infection duration on objects by 5 seconds.
    • Now causes you to start the trial with one charge of Corruption.

(Very Rare)

    This isn't bad but I think she would be just Oni 2.0 and I don't like having to cleanse on the furthest fountain, especially when she can just spit on you for half a second to infect again. Also remember that rescuing infected survivors also infects you.

    Imo 1% per fully infected survivor is also too much, she could potentially have a Corrupt Purge ready every 25 seconds.

    Fully infecting a survivor takes time, and survivors are heavily incentivized to cleanse against this version of Plague.

    It's possible to get a charge every 25 seconds, sure, but it's also possible for Bubba to one-shot the entire survivor team in one use of his ability, and we don't balance around that because it never really happens.
