status effect changes
right now there are allot of killers with addons that apply effects, and in comparison to the other addons they are not worth using especially the more resent killers like legion where they have to hinder themselves to apply the effects to a survivor and out of all of them blindness is the worst and hemorrhage is not worth being the only thing an addon dose
so here are my ideas
hemorrhage:
it is an unnecessary effect by itself as all it dose is make you bleed more frequently which is not worth being the only thing an addon would do so i would just have mangeld make you bleed more on top of the slowed healing effect as bleeding more doesn't make much of a difference unless you are on an indoor map like the memorial institute and the meat plant but that's just two maps and both are in the survivors favor over the killers and if the killer runs blood hound it wont make much of a difference as the killer will more than likely be following the scratch marks anyway.
Blindness:
right know blindness is such a worthless effect that all the perks and addons that apply it are barely used so i would just have it replace with a new effect entirely, here is my idea
Concussion:
"a heavy blow renders the survivors senses weekend"
whilst under the effect of concussion the survivors:
- vision is impaired (the survivor will suffer the nurse/legion fatigue effect and the killers red stain will be less visible with a shorter range and less brightness)
- hearing is impaired (the radius of sounds and the intensity of sounds is lowered like the terror radius, killer breathing and footsteps, environmental sounds/ audio ques)
until the blindness effect ends the idea behind this status effect is to give the survivors a form of tunnel vision forcing them to look directly at things because sound will be harder to rely and during a chase the red stain wont be a reliable warning for when the killer is close or what direction around a high wall loop they are taking.
Comments
Well... Blindness effects auras, so it's not completely useless. It effects certain perks:
As well as effecting whether or not you can read maps, Use Red Key addons, or see hooked survivors after the initial indication. It can also stop you from seeing Jigsaw boxes, which can be very good for Pig.
Some of these perks are staples for Solo survivors, such as Bond/Alert/Empathy/Kindred. While others are for SWFs (Mainly Object).
So I would not want you to get rid of it, since it has its' usefulness.
Blindness does not affect auras from jigsaw boxes.
Not the Blindness addon for her traps, but Hex: Third Seal does.
