Feedback regarding the alien ptb
Alien was my most hyped chapter for dbd that I've been waiting for for AGES, and I'm proud to say i really like the direction the team has gone with it, that being said from my playtesting there are a few things i think need to be changed about it
First off and most importantly, runner mode tail attack should 100% either be holdable and should either have some form of loose tracking or strafe ability like nemesis tentacle OR should fire off instantly once you click the tail attack. the delay before it fires combined with the fact you can't hold it no lie SUCKS to play with, it's an easy fix just either make it instant once you right click that it shoots out like an instant swing of the normal attack or let it be holdable so you can charge it around a corner while moving a little slower and give it a little bit of strafe potential like Nemmy, the cooldown doesn't need any changes i think it works perfectly but should definitely come with one of the sets of changes I suggested, also a little indicator of where your tali strike will actually hit would be pretty nice like pinhead's one if the tail strike hold is added, can be a little hard to discern sometimes.
secondly, the turrets. hoo boy the turrets, they make 100% sense but given how they are described in the power, they need to be more consistent. They burn you SO fast and they also have some insane snap aiming i find, based off of the power description i feel like they should rotate 360 degrees with a detection cone in front of them, in my experience however they actually just snap track you the SECOND you are in their radius even when you are behind a wall, which is very aggravating as it makes the turrets WAY too fast to knock you out of runner mode and makes it really hard to preserve runner mode and destroy them from a distance since the SECOND you can see them, they can see you despite the fact the turret might be seemingly facing the entire opposite direction and have already begun to burn you
Lastly, the tunnels, i think it would be better if when you enter it you aren't sometimes automatically made to face a wall it's a bit disorienting, also the exit sound is just a tad loud, could get turned down a bit i think XD
Alien has been my most anticipated chapter for the longest time alongside predator and friday the 13th and i really want this chapter to be perfect, and the changes i suggested should help make the xenomorph feel like a true apex predator without making them feel like they are overtuned or, what currently feels like, a bit of a sheep in wolf's clothing.
(love the new mori too btw)
