haha three people I talked to (in real life) all separately said that, knowing BHVR, it'd probably be a charm lol
I know some people like them, but I've never really liked them. They're just not my thing. I'd rather have more cosmetics or even a small amount of blood points.

Yeah, charms are 283.61% useless so... I would love some shards to ease the grinding issue, but sounds pretty unreallistic.

I just thought another option tho... what if once you P3, you get all perks tier 3, all addons, and all offering both unlocked and infinite? That way P3 basically unlocks the "play to have fun" instead of the "play to grind"

I have the characters I use in lvl 50 no prestige already. For now prestige is a waste of BP, so i'm not doing it. If they fix that, i'd consider it and only if the reward is worth it.

I went for the charm because that sounds like something they'd do... but you guys are saying it's not cosmetics so idk...

As a main killer, I don't get why camping. It's a waste of time.

Tunneling is not an issue unless it's made on purpose, like "f*ck this Leon in particular" and follow them only until they die. It's pretty innefective. As a killer, you have more incentive to go after the survivor that is closer to death than the one that is not. Besides, most of the times killers just follow who they see. If it happens to be a survivor they have already hooked or hit, hoe is that tunneling?

The only times I purposely tunnel someone is when they are toxic, teabagging me and blinking their flashlight the entire game. The do it once, and i'm ok with it. They do it twice, I'll follow, but keep in check the rest of the survivors and the generators, aka as not focused on them, try to hook them or something. They do it three times and my game objective becomes "Watch that survivor bleed out and die." If you're going to be annoying, i'll make it annoying. At that point I don't care if I get 0 BP after the game.

As for your proposals, I don't like them at all. The game does need a change, but it's more than just fixing some perks.

When I play as survivor, I find it extremely boring all the time (except when the killer is friendly and lets me do my challenge so i help them close the hatch at the end). I haven't faced a killer tunneling me yet, but I have faced a camper once or twice. The thing is, when I'm hooked, if i see no survivor nearby, i will just try to get myself unhooked, if I fail and still no survivor nearby, i just let the thing kill me. It's not tense, it's not fun, it's just boring to be hooked and waiting for something to happen. Being camped or not, it doesn't change that. So, from a survivor perspective, I really don't care if you camp me or not, and from the killer perspective, I find camping just a waste of time (not to mention survivors can still unhook and save a hooked survivor even if the killer is camping).

There are several things I would do to change both issues. First, I would change the try to escape the hook mechanic to a serie of skill checks. If you don't miss them, the survivor reaches the hook, disarms it, and they can run (triggering something like BT), making it difficult to be hit again, and disabling that hook for a while. Of course, the skill checks would be fast, with no time in between and no skill check warning. I think the green glyph has something similar. In this case, however, the survivor would not lose life when missing a check. Instead, their progress would go back to zero and they'll have to start all over. I'd do that so being a survivor wouldn't be as incredibly boring when hooked the first time as it currently is. In the second stage of the hook, I'll keep that same mechanic, but increase the difficulty, and the survivor would lose life each time they miss. This would solve the camping issue too sincez if the survivor manages to escape the hook, the killer would have not only wasted their time, but also would start a new chase and would need to use a different hook.

For the tunneling issue, as I said, I don't see an issue with that. If not combined with camping, you hook the survivor and then what? you leave to search other survivors, so no issue there. If the killer is just chasing down a single survivor for long time, that survivor is actually helping the rest of their team by keeping the killer busy. So there's also no issue there either.

The real problem, however, is how little deviance the gameplay in general offers. As a killer you hunt and hook. As a survivor you repair generators, open the gates, and that's it. When a game offers so little variation, it's obvious players will get bored. Add to that the fact that even the builds are almost all the same and repetitive... The game needs a massive rework, not only in the perks issue, or the camping issue, or the grinding issue... It has a lot of protential, but it feels that the developers don't want to improve it... They'd rather have a dating simulator than improve their main game... smh

The ones that actually let you hit them, the ones who could possibly die to this, are literally the ones being nice. They're staying to give your a few last points and Emblem progress.
The toxic Survivors leave before you can hit them.

actually it's the other wya around.

The ones nice leave fast, the toxic ones stay on the gates teabagging until you get close and they leave

There's also another detail: when I can mori someone, I usually do it in an angle with no objects obstructing my view. If its automatic, how can we make sure we are going to be able to see the Mori instead of clipping into a wall?

my first mori as pyramid head had the camera behind a wall and I couldn't see it 😭

Graph above shows the most recent data the devs used to decide which perks are "meta" and thus should be included on the perk rework
It barely reaches just below 75% at the highest level of MMR.

i'm part of the 25% lol

Summer 2022 is the tentative date set for the perk rework. I feel like if there's a rework already made it'll be released in waves instead of a block all at once, and considering Dead Hard has an average usage rate of just below 75% then I don't see why they wouldn't have that as a priority perk.

is that accurate? I see every single survivor using it

people who complain about tunneling believe the killer should just sit there and wait apparently... Isn't the most obvious/effective strategy for a killer to try to hook a survivor who has been already hooked and is closer to be sacrificed?

There's absolutely ghosting! Ive had numerous times where just a small amount of vomit causes the survivors to shout as though they were infected, but it doesn't actually hit them. It's part of the pain of hit-validation that we just have to live with unfortunately. The only real solution is to vomit on them more than just a hair, which isn't always possible in those narrow windows of opportunity.
And fully infected survivors infect the objects they interact with, which helps with the spread. It is only impactful up to a point (all survivors max infected), but it's not nothing. That said, causing them to develop extra "symptoms" at random (blindness or obliviousness) would be pretty funny.

Yeah, it'd be fun. I've never played against a Plague ever, so idk how she feels from the survivor side, but from the killer side she's pretty fun (and disgusting considering I have a phobia for throwing up lol), so i'm happy I'm not regretting the purchase. I hope BHVR staff reads this and thing about making them more sick 👀

Howdy! I love plague (if you haven't try Play With Your Food with her - she gets some unique value out of it because her green vomit does not cost stacks!)
Learning how to lead survivors even at point-blank range with the vomit is an acquired skill. The visual effect itself is a deceptive indicator of where "the vomit" actually is, which consists of a chain of invisible orbs that the vomit effect "latches onto" to create the visual effect you see (at least, so far as I understand it). That being said, you'll need to learn to whip your perspective pretty far ahead of survivors in order to coat them in a good, consistent stream. It's just how it is. If I recall, there are addons that increase projectile speed? If so, try that and see if you get more responsiveness from the power.
I really like the locker change (in part because it'd also be a cheeky way to screen for survivors hiding in lockers) and agree that hiding in an infected locker should count as 'interacting' with it and cause the infection to advance.
As for the thoughts about infection, I'm not sure if I agree. While the "best" way to counter plague is to avoid cleansing, it is still a greatly advantageous situation for the plague to only need to land one hit to win chases. The prevalence of dead hard is especially noticeable here though, and a dead hard rework could potentially cause Plague's oppressive influence to skyrocket. However, when you have a mix of survivors who do and don't cleanse, your corrupt purge becomes a MONSTER against those who remain infected. It's kind of like a sick prisoner's dilemma.
And you should be happy that survivors can heal using the fountains. It gives survivors a reason to use the fountains even if they aren't infected. Sure, it can be particularly advantageous to them in certain situations (especially in the endgame) but at the end of the day you do want the survivors to use the pools, and they won't do it unless it benefits them.
The issue, I believe, lies in the Plague's need to be everywhere despite having no mobility. In the early game she needs to infect as many objects as possible, and in the mid-to-late game she needs to be chasing efficiently, defending gens, and also finding the time to collect her power from fountains - which smart survivors will intentionally seek out out-of-the-way spots to cleanse. I don't think this flaw merits a buff, though. It's normal for killers to have a weak spot.

Well, you got a really good point for the reason the pools heal. I hadn't thought it that way.

Fo her vomit trajectory, I'm sure it's lack of practice. If I "aim" to where the survicor will be (just like with the huntress or a kraber in titanfall), it's easier to get then infected. I still feel she's bugged when I get animation and sound effects of hitting the survivors, but they get no infection.

For her infection itself, I just want a way that her infection does something for when you're away. If a survivor away from me interacts with an infected object, I would like that they have a need to use the pools. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of giving them all those status effects to eventually make them use the pools.

@Nihilistine said:
As a Plague main, some of the concerns you bring up like hit registration with her vomit which is something they were able to fix with deadhard but often overlook specifically with Plague. I think it probably also accounts for times when Corrupt Purge looks like it should hit but does not and goes through them. The difficulty with Plague comes from having to keep track of fountains, keeping survivors sick, and pressuring gens; if you pay attention to placement of fountains, then you know which fountains a survivor cleansed at. Pairing specific add-ons and perks with survivors who choose not to cleanse is usually strong enough to deal with them not cleansing and the penalty is that they are both louder, more visible, and can be downed in one shot so usually you either want to use something like Fearmonger, Blood Echo, Thanataphobia, and/or her iridescent Black Incense to take advantage of them not cleansing or force them to cleanse so you have one of the strongest abilities in the game.

Maybe so, but she should be more dangerous with her base kit in my opinion. If there's a chance that a survivor can just be sick the entire game, do nothing about it, and still win, that for me is a design fail.

That third level of infection would be really cool because it would actually make players want to get cleansed. There's an actual threat if they keep the infection that way. I'm still not sure which of my two options I like the most for the 3rd level infection compleated, but I would definitely like to see that implemented.

About keeping track the pools, I saw some gameplay videos yesterday and I think at least half of my games so far have been bugged where the pools don't get their aura in white when corrupted. Either that, or in fact none of the survivors ever used them. I hear a noise when they do, but more often than not, i get no visual cues.

following the same math, unlocking an outfit would require 1680 hours of play... That's 2.3 months...

also, for people saying BHVR needs to make money, don't forget the game is NOT free. I get it when they charge for cosmetics, that's normal, but characters should be easily obtainable. Right now they make it so hard to get them so you either quit playing the game, invest lots and lots of hours grinding, or simply pay some cash.

With that rate I would rather have all skins and outfit be obtainable only with auric cells and reduce the cost of characters by at least half. That way the characters would be easily accessible for everyone, and BHVR would still get more money by selling the cosmetics.
