I will say pretty big hot take
I think it would be fun either as gamemode or experiment to put all old busted OP perks on both sides to live again (at least for short while).
Idk man but I kinda miss old Dead Hard, Made for This, chase powerfull perks that were fun and strong.
Also imagine old ruin and undying to make finaly hexes last a while and have chance to shine. Perks like machine gun combo with short cooldown reduction, having self-care being you know not a killer perk and being able to heal in 20 sec or something. Having old Circle of Healing be powerfull healing station for your team. Having old Spine Chill to have anti-stealth killer ability and extra chase power, etc.
Would be like all-in madness gamemode or something. I kinda miss some of these powerfull combos, meta where no side was balanced but all could have all acess to all kinds of crazy perks and combos to make mayhem.
I mean if we had all kinds of "broken" perks for each side, would it rly be broken?
Wow Survivors have extra health state each pick up but good luck dealing with my old Ruin with Undying at least they have to cleanse like 4 totems / I have my machine gun build to catch up super fast again, etc.
Comments
I don't think killers best perks would even compare to 4x survivors best perks it would pretty much just be a killer bully mode, unfortunately since its participate at your own will, almost no one would outright choose to play killer
Ruin undying wouldn't even carry the killer side because it could still just be cleansed in 2 totems with any amount of luck vs
4 dead hards (iframes) and all in every chase, 4 ds (that activate before even being hooked), 4 borrowed time (which give both players endurance), and most likely so you can't do anything about it, 4 unbreakables
So as fun as 3 health states, 4 hook states, no choice to slug, and no win hook saves wouldn't be, ill pass
It would be interesting but let’s not just Incase it breaks the game in some way…or another..
Bring old old haddonfield and cowshed back too.
Old haddofield man the memories… I know it was bad map but the old grafics style, the old models, the darker oldschool feel and empty houses and huge bushes haha.
you want to play vs 100% circle of healing, made for this, dead hard and old mettle of man?
On killer, your going to be facing old undying, old skill-check hex:ruin, old pain res and old pop goes weasel. so have fun cleansing 5 hex ruins, 25% gen regression kicks +15% pain res hooks.
Don't forget the old classic machine gun build with like 55% cooldown reducation with no reguirements (just obsession be alive) on whole team or old NOED that gave you 2 mins of Exposed and haste 100% of the time, no cleansing counterplay, etc.
While wer are at itm we could also bring back Endurance stacking and work through 3-4 different iteration of Endurance before we finally get a down; that was fun :D Oh, and no basekit BT, let killers sometimes just down the survivors the very frame their feet hit the ground after coming off the hook.
Well, such a blast from the past mode would at the very least give everyone a perspective how good they have it today. But we might to have killers 400% incentive to convince them to come playing.
Would old offerings be in play as well? The old mori is looking really happy there.
Also, old NOED? STBFL? Dying Light? We killers could also have some devious toys in this one….
For me, I would be intrigued to try this.
I don't agree with a mode on bringing back the busted perks, but a mode that lets you play on pre graphics overhauled maps? Yes please
I mean it would need to go all in on killer side, you would need machine gun build + no bt + enduring for ds stun + probably rapid brutality
It all really depends on how much of what gets changed / stays modern but I think in the end survivors would still make out like bandits no matter how much you back port different mechanics and perks
You miss them, I don't. These perks got changed because they were bad for the game and not fun to deal with.
it would be cool to get a chaos mode that’s exactly this although I’m not sure how that’s possible coding wise
I'd be down, but I don't think the fresh meat will last long in a game mode like that. That's a mode purely for the hardened OGs and masochists.
Who needs to cleanse anything when you have 4 old BNPs? First 4 gens would pop instantly. The killer better be packing old moris.
It's not a bad idea. It would be fun to have a mode where chase perks on both sides get turbo buffed. If it was popular, it might give BHVR some ideas on how to make the main mode more fun.
literal only way to play the game is corrupt intervention / gridlock / mori billy and hope to get a down before they can be out of the match at that point
that would basically be reverse 2v8; brings nothing fun to killer side. would be fun for a short time though, even just to see how it was before.
