So I see "fix snowballing"… Does snowballing really need to be fixed? Also the fact that 8 gens is already kinda fast and with pallet/flashlight saves being back… actively get punished for whatever you do. Starting to seem like less of a party mode for killers in 2v8.

Finally, you guys decided to give good looking cosmetics to survivors. The previous designs for Yun Jin looked like discount apparel at Old Navy.
I still can't freaking believe you guys passed up on Vampire Hunter / Lady Yun Jin and went ATHLESIURE. It's like your design team hates sexy or something
i dont know if i liek the void idea my friends said last year it was rly Survivor sided that does not seem fair, it wont be as much this year right 'cause i kinda wanna learn Killer
Okay i guess the collections page was wrong, said the blighted cosmetics are supposed to release today but it's 11am et and they are not in the store and there is no patch, i guess they made a mistake 😔

So I see "fix snowballing"… Does snowballing really need to be fixed? Also the fact that 8 gens is already kinda fast and with pallet/flashlight saves being back… actively get punished for whatever you do. Starting to seem like less of a party mode for killers in 2v8.
This mechanic could be very good to test out for normal games
I would like some of the event abilities to maybe become perks in the future. Survivors blocking windows and smoke bombs. The killers with the extra lunge in a specific area from the bloodhunt

The saves are back in but I havent see a single one go out. I've personally got 3 blinds off that should have saved but survivor still got hooked, and pallet is even more rare in this mode as the save window is .5 of a second.

If you got the blind off and didn't save then you didn't time it right, simple as that. If anything the flashlight got easier because the killer cant turn their camera making the timing even more generous. The window is actually still the same as if the killer was standing right in front of a hook and picking someone up. As for the pallet it shouldn't be that hard unless you're barely making it to the pallet at the end of the pickup animation.

Wow what a great write-up. Thank you 😊
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you friend!
Great summary, thank you!
And thank you, Devs, for keeping the Ivory and Ebony Moris and listening to player feedback. This is a perfect solution.

Please tell me it's Artist skin and I'm gonna cry bc my girl will finally have dark scary outfit 🥲
Somehow I missed it on stream.
edit: its artist
I have only the grandma outfit for her, which isn’t scary at all. I will maybe play her more when I have a good skin for her.
I'm loving these cosmetics (especially Yun Jin's). They've really knocked it out of the park for this year's spooky season.
wow i rly like all those skins c:
