So this is an idea for a 2nd match type in the game. Its meant to be a harder version of the trials. I dont think it would completely split the base because not everyone is going to be about this life.
Killer Side: Can only bring adept and general perks. No add ons above green. Standing within 8 meters of a hook for more than 4 seconds reveals your aura to all survivors, supercedes any stealth mechanic.
Survivor Side: Can only bring adept and general perks. Only items found in chests can be used (keys never spawn but higher rarity items are more common like purple med kit, commodius tool box etc).
Generators: Can never be done faster than 70 seconds but now work on a tiered completion basis every 25%. As an example, killer has Ruin, you get a generator to 30%, killer runs you off, the generator will not regress past 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% (this is hard capped for all regression perks including pop).
Edited to add: All genrators regress when not being worked on at the same rate they can be repaired, but still will not go below the tiers.
All maps spawn with 10 pallets total, no more no less.
Bloodpoint caps for all categories are increased from 8k to 12k.
Thoughts? Anything I missed?

Got some good stuff here:
- Extra BP to reduced the grind
- Survivors have more variation than just skins now because of the restriction of perks
- The ruin change is good however it seems strange considering only hag would be able to use it, this just seems like a QoL change to ruin in general
I used ruin as the example but works on everything, PGTW, Surge, simple kicks. Basically once a gen hits a tier it will never go below that tier.
Fun fact. To make sure a gen never goes faster then 70 seconds you need to give survivors a 45% penalty when working with 2 survivors.
Atleast a 62% penalty for 3 and a 72% penalty for 4 survivors.
In the vanilla version it's a 15% penalty
Yup, its a lot. Which means splitting gens will be more meta than it is now, BUT gens naturally regress to (though slowly). Lots of give and take there. 3 genned could be a nightmare, but tier system should help with that a bit
