Intuitive Add-Ons Update (This'd Make it Better)

Vulgun Vulgun
in Feedback and Suggestions

Simple update:

  • There is now a small spiral that appears when two add-ons are used together.
  • This spiral allows the player to see the effects of both add-ons combined to get a better understanding of what they'll be using going into the match.
  • This makes it more intuitive and overall better for players who need to understand how things work with add-ons.
  • Any add-ons that conflict with another add-on will have text highlighted in red.
  • Any add-ons that harmonize with another add-on will have the bold text upped a tier and will be highlighted in green.

Examples

Tombstone Piece + Fragrant Tuft of Hair

This example highlights the upped tiering system for increases or reductions in a Power's effects. This also highlights what happens if two powers conflict with each other.

  • Kill healthy or injured Survivors with Evil Within III.
  • Considerably drains the Power Gauge after killing a Survivor.
  • Substantially increases the amount of evil required to reach Evil Within III.
    • See in my second comment about added terminology; I don't want the original post to be too big.
  • Red Text: Will not grant Unlimited Evil Within III duration.

Black Strap + Wax Doll

This highlights another example of the upped tiering system.

  • Considerably increases Punishment of the Damned attack range.

Cut Thru U Single + Iridescent Photocard

This highlights the combination of abilities when both add-ons are produced, which is made simpler and easier to see upon actually looking to their "Link Spiral".

  • Blades pierce through Survivors.
  • Subsequent Survivors hit by the same Blade receive 50% Laceration.
  • When a Survivor's Laceration Meter is one Blade hit away from the maximum, they are inflicted with the Exposed Status Effect.

Scraps + Wire Spool

I didn't forget the Survivors.

  • Adds 20 charges to the Toolbox.

    Updated Terminology

    • Slightly + Slightly = Moderately
    • Slightly + Moderately = Considerably
    • Slightly + Considerably = Tremendously
    • Slightly + Tremendously = Greatly
    • Moderately + Moderately = Tremendously
    • Moderately + Considerably = Greatly
    • Moderately + Tremendously = Monumentally
    • Considerably + Considerably = Monumentally
    • Considerably + Tremendously = Substantially
    • Tremendously + Tremendously = Astronomically

    Terminology in Number Form

    • Slightly (1)
    • Moderately (2)
    • Considerably (3)
    • Tremendously (4)
    • Greatly (5)
    • Monumentally (6)
    • Substantially (7)
    • Astronomically (8)
    • These numbers effectively represent the tiers of effectiveness an add-on produces when combined with another.

    The reason I want this to be a thing is simply because it's a quality-of-life update that would help newer players out, as well as give more information to existing and new players alike. It would be much better overall to discern the combined effects of add-ons than to try and look at both at the same time.

    This would also make content creation so much easier or better in regards to add-on knowledge since now there will be more to dig in with new add-ons whenever a new Survivor or Killer comes to the game. But this would mean Otz would have a lot more work to do on his videos; sorry, dude.

    What would help players more is if they just showed numbers instead of vague, meaningless words.

    That would also require them to make the "tough" decision to display the powers in numbers, too, with a lot of significant information being added that will inevitably make it a whole novel for some powers (Michael's).

    But yeah, great idea overall. They won't do it.
