What on EARTH are you thinking with this scream change?
Screaming, as it previously worked, was absolutely fine in every single way. Not a single person out of the 8 people who still play your game had an issue with it. And now a ton of perks are needlessly nerfed into unusability because of this change. Make Your Choice? Useless, since you don't know who is effected. Dragon's Grip? Exact same issue. Infectious Fright? Its strength is cut in HALF (or MORE than half if you're playing a killer with a large terror radius). And those are only the ones hit the hardest. There's a ton more perks and add-ons that have been crippled into being unusable because of this change.
What the ######### Bhvr?

Can you detail the changes?
I feel like I am out of the loop on what you are talking about... but it sounds interesting to know, ngl.
As of the most recent update, screams cannot be detected beyond 19 meters. Why they decided to make this change, I have absolutely no idea.
Perks and add ons that make survivors scream now have a 19 metre 3D sound instead of a map wide 2D sound.
So if a survivor screams within 19m of you, you will be able to tell where they are. However, if they are further than 19m you won’t hear the scream at all and only see the notification bubble.
This is an issue because perks like Make Your Choice and Dragon’s Grip relied on the map wide scream so you could tell which survivor is exposed. It also hurts solo queue as well as now you can’t tell if a killer has MYC or Iron Maiden if it triggers on another survivor unless you are within 19m.
MYC and Deathbound are hurt the most as they require you to be further than 32m, so the scream will never activate for them. So it’s a nerf to perks that are already weak or situational.
This has no effect on killer powers, so Doctor and Freddy still work the same.
Thanks for the detailed explaination...
Wow... so Hex: face the darkness does nothing now... like, actually NOTHING.
What a SILLY decision... talk about nerfing killers, wow...
I'm expecting a dead hard buff now... do they read our posts and purposely do the opposite??
Oh yeah Face the Darkness is even more useless now.
You’ll still get the noise notification, but it activates so randomly that the scream was needed to let you know that it had actually activated!
Which sucks because Face the Darkness Freddy was the closest I could get to playing pre-rework Freddy again 😞
This feels like a fever dream, who greenlighted this change? do they know about the perks of the knight?
Look, I know he's a bad, unpopular killer... but one would think they remembered their second newest killer before goofing up like that!
