I think every killers power goes up elevation now aside from Twins, Doctor, (and possibly Nemesis?)
Does Demogorgon's pounce go up stairs too? And do Freddy's dream snares work in elevations?
Either way, it's not just the ability to go up, many killer powers behave weirdly on stairs. Billy, Demogorgon and Blight all have this weird interaction that, if they are going down stairs, a survivor in their way can completely avoid being hit by crouching. Or at least that's how it used to be, I don't know if it has been fixed at some point.

Demos and Freddy's does go up, also yeah crouch tech is pretty goofy
why are we happy about? he can just camp basement hook easily now like Artist, Bubba, Hilly but her crows can be countered with flashlight and other survivor or he could camp basetment stairs with his power before this change? I kinda forgot you can remind and downvote if I'm wrong
We are happy about it because it made his power borderline unplayable on some maps such as the following:
RPD
Swamp
Badham
Treatment Theatre (Lerys was somehow affected by elevation even on flat surfaces)
Those are the main offenders, but there are many more maps with elevation so now he'll feel less clunky to play as any survivor with a brain next to elevation while you were getting ready to use your power would simply walk up the stairs and you were temporarily powerless.
Before these changes nothing was stopping him or any other killer from camping basement, it is entirely the survivors fault for going down near basement which is why its very important to learn death spots otherwise you could lose your team the game.
Also in the future can we tone down the negativity for quality of life changes, especially if you aren't 100% sure what you're saying is even right in the first place. :/
Of course I'll be negative. The devs didn't specify that this is a buff, I don't understand the joy in this bug. It's literally a balance change. Especially when you can stand at the bottom of the stairs in the basement and shooting the survivors to prevent saves. So, now you don't need skills anymore to camp as him I guess devs as usually didn't thought about that so they did a blind change with no thoughts
Yeah, I completely agree the devs should've stated this as a buff. Aside from that camping doesn't take skill and never has..? I don't know why that needs to be the sole complaining point of this "bugfix" when he could camp before and still can now, plus its still better to camp from the top of the stairs as Executioner.
Could this be a world record for the longest time a "Bug" has been unpatched in a video game?
I would say it was not really a bug at all. Originally it was meant to not go up but with how the game has evolved most likely the devs saw it as unfair downside on a killer who already can have hard time as Executioner is not that strong really and not the easiest killer to play. They could have had it in the killer changes section but in the end it was added in the bug section. Interesting thing is that the report I made of it was never really even added "Under Investigation" so seems like the devs themselves realized how unfair limitation was that his power because totally useless if survivor changed elevation.

my comment was more a dig that this change wasn't a change to the killer. it was a "Bug Fix" so the devs themselves are admitting that its a big that they just never fixed.
We all know its not a bug (or i would hope not for the sake of the devs) but its just so funny that they would rather claim it a big they have fixed rather than just have it as a small killer change.

Well still it could be just person listing not listing it on the right section or not seeing a point to make section for small change when last time community did complain of small changes they made. Feels like they are doomed if they do or not do. :P

just quickly, exe could easily camp basement before this change. if you stood at the top of the stairs (on a flat surface, not the actual stairs) your power would travel downwards and get the double hit easily. If you stood on the stairs just slightly, your power would do nothing. This "fix" makes it a lot more consistent, and a lot easier, but it's not something he was unable to do beforehand.

Oh for sure but it would look a lot better having a small note saying that they will make this change to make the killer better to play rather than saying after 6 years we are finally fixing this bug. Regardless if it was meant to be a bug or not having it in the bug fix after 6 years kinda a bad look

So it goes up AND down now? Marvelous
This is truly the biggest buff he will ever receive
Wait, does it go up stairs too?
Because you know, a lot of killers could use that buff too. My first thought is Viktor.

I was surprised that no one on the development team had ever played Pyramid Head before.
