New killer players, i beg of you

STOP USING THRILL OF THE HUNT WITH NO OTHER HEX PERKS

the amount of new killers ive come across wasting a perk slot using only thrill with no other hex perks is immense. This perk is there to defend hexes. The only thing it does with no hex perks is make it more tricky for boon perks to be set up.

  • They might be playing with random perks its not their choice to run the perk. There is challenges in tomes that randomizes them.

    i didnt know that oops

  • I myself play always random (if not doing adept) so I for example even recently played a match where I only had thrill without any other hex perk. I do it manually so I chose to make the matches more difficult with it. Would not mind automatic way to do it in the game itself. Love Chaos Shuffle as that just makes others play like me so even playing ground :P

    But.... What if they want to feel the thrill of the hunt?

  • I sometimes run Thrill without other perks just to mind game survivors if I'm honest. They see a totem that takes an age to break and assume I'll be bringing Noed or a trigger totem, so they keep breaking totems when they should be doing Gens. It's good for a laugh.

    What tome is this? And is there a way to not finish the challenge so I can just have it active 24/7?

    While that is absolutely true, if I had to guess in this situation they're more than likely new players doing this since it's a universal perk not attached to any Killer.

    I could for sure be wrong though lol.

    Tome 17, 20 and 22 has them and those have (Remix) after the name. If you don't finish the requirements you can keep it going, but most of them are about six downings of a survivor so you would not be able to down anybody after the fifth if you don't want to complete. There is one in Tome 17 that requires you to hook two survivors inside 60 seconds so another one that is not really hard to do but would be decently easy to avoid if you play Judgement and use Exiling mostly.

  • You can't tell me what to do!

    Running thrill without anything else, except undying maybe, is actually a strategy to make survivors waste time. It's not a very good one, but it is a strategy.

    I really doubt that's the case, newer players probably don't even know what the tomes are. I think it's more likely they're just equipping one of the few perks they have available and thrill is a general perk so they just put on thrill because any perk is better than no perk right?

    On a side note, I miss when perks gave BP bonuses, like thrill and beast of prey used to do. I know it wasn't healthy design and that you should pick perks purely because of their effect on gameplay, but I wish I could get rewarded with BP based on my perk choice still. Maybe having a BP bonus for using randomized perks, or fewer perks than usual. That'd be cool.

  • Man I miss when thrill of the hunt gave extra bp. I had a full on bp farming build with toth, bbq, distressing. I used to love running it on demo.
