New DS will be such a waste of perk slot, they should make Breakdown and new DS as one perk, maybe that way it wouldn't be a waste of perk slot.

What else would you like to be to maybe to add unbreakable in kit?

You can counter it by just not tunneling. It's easy lol

In other words give them free escape and force the kille to play a way he/she may don't want

in Thanks Devs for the DS Buff :) Comment by DarkGGhost February 23, 2019

And besides the new DS and the endurance don't solve the big problem have . To have more than one DS in one game

@DarkGGhost I fail to see the issue. If you are at an unhook event, simply smack the "weak" one and then pursue the rescuer.

By doing this, the person rescued will either be slugged or go into deep wounds (borrowed time). This keeps them off of generators and in the slug scenario forces another survivior off of generators to come get them.

Then, by chasing the rescuer you apply pressure to a survivior, keeping them off of generators.

Overall, you can now pressure up to three surviviors as counterplay. Unless you just want to tunnel the Decisive User.

If you do want to tunnel them . . . isn't the hook right frickin there?!

As killer you won the more time by killing a survivor by let he leave you lose more time. The same time another survirsu will come and pick up the down survivor ( best case scenario) and they will lose 5-15 sec at best

The biggest problem with DS is the multiple use with the new DS no only you have down sides but you say go on use now worth more

So the counters to the new DS are moris, camping to death, slugging. All things that survivors like.

That's the theory so far. I'm curious to see how it turns out to be when the rework is released. Maybe we'll get surprised.

And I really want to know what is going to happen to Dying Light, Remember Me etc. when there are changing obsessions.

See the Q&A but so you know Dying light will lose all the effect when the use DS

The problem with the new DS is everyone can use it without problem but in order for the killer to " counter" he will need endurance and/or knock out 2 perks that may not work with the build he/she want to play without have . At the same time you make it easier to hit the skill check and you can't stop it this time because it will be on pick up animecion

@NuclearBurrito so as a killer I have to give up on the weakest survivor for the time let he keep his DS and start a new chase hoping you can down him/her before the last 2 gens be done ? Nice

It means the counterplay is not tunneling an unhooked Survivor.

And a again a free escape and let him keep it for later

As title says, this topic is about some balance changes to existing perks. This topic will focus only on survivor perks, mainly because killers got decent/good/useful perks since Huntress dlc, while survivors mainly got situational/underwhelming/straight out bad(looking at you boil over) perks.
Of course, there are some killer perks(mainly the old ones) that could use some reworks, but I believe survivor perks are in more need of attention.

With that being said, the point of this changes is to actually make the perks viable/fun, while not making them broken. They should be more inline to what devs did to Urban Evasion and Alert. Both were originally terrible perks, but with the right changes they become interesting, without being overpowered.

Hope:
Change: each time a generator is powered you gain a 7% movement speed buff for 60 seconds.
Reason: hope is an end game perk, but unlike Adrenaline it doesn't do enough to justify playing with 3 perks the entire game, not even knowing if you are going to make it to the end game.
If you have let's say 10 seconds remaining and another gen is powered now you have 70 seconds(basically the durations stack). I don't feel like an upper stack limit should be added.

Technician:
Change: make the sound range reduction apply to everyone on that generator, not only yourself. The explosion warning should always be prevented instead of 50% of times, generator regression should still apply.
Reason: Technician is supposed to make you feel more confident in repairing a generator by making it safer, but since the noise reduction is only for yourself it does next to nothing. The rng of the preventing the explosion is a bad mechanic imo and should be replaced.
I know devs touched this perk in the previous patches, but all they did was to alter tier 1/2, without doing anything to address the perks issues: it doesn't fulfill it's role(making repairing a gen safer).

Distortion:
Change: The perk starts disabled. You can enable it at any point by pressing the activate ability button. It's a one time activation, and after being activated it will start working as it does now.
Add a passive to the perk: every time your aura is revealed the perk icon will briefly light up. This passive works even if the perk is not activated and when out of tokens. The activation part only enables tokens to be consumed.
Reason: distortion is an interesting perk, but because you can't gain tokens and with the amount of aura reading perks in the game right now, it's really underwhelming.
Right now tokens will get consumed during the first minutes of the game, when an aura read is not likely to kill you. By allowing people to manually activate the perk one could save it more towards end game, when blocking an aura read could be decisive.

Boil Over:
Change: **remove the struggling effects on the killer, it does nothing. Once the pickup animation is done and the killer can move he has 4 seconds to look around him and find a hook. After 4 seconds all hook auras are hidden.
Hooks withing 10/12/14 meters are never revealed.
**Reason: Even devs stated in the Clown's livestream that this perks is bad. If the point is to make it harder for killers to bring you to a hook, then it should do just that.
It also has counterplay, because it allows 4 seconds to scout the area and find a hook. The killer then only has to memorize it's location and go there(map knowledge and knowing usual hook spawns also hard counter the perk). During the pickup animation the killer also sees the hooks, so this 4 seconds are actually 7 ?(not sure how long pickup is right now).

Left Behind:
Change: keep the current effect. Add on top of that: while being the last survivor in the trial no detection perk will be able to track you or the generator while on that generator(detection = aura reading perks, whispers etc). So for example if the killer kicks a gen with Surveillance and left behind is active the generator is not going to be highlighted in white while regressing and it's not going to be yellow when you start working on it.
Reason: left behind should slightly even the odds in 1v1 situations, but right now with perks like Surveillance that's impossible. The killer instantly know on which gen you are working and that's way too much information for a 1v1.
However, if the survivor doesn't do gens and just walks around the map, whispers(for example) will still track him, because he's not on a generator.

Vigil:
Change: change the perk effect. Press the activate ability button to remove a status effect instantly. The perk has a cooldown of 120 seconds.
If a survivor is under the effect of multiple timed status effects the one with the longer remaining timer will get removed.
If a survivor is under the effect of a non timed status effect and some timed status effects the non-timed one will be removed.
You can't choose which status effect to remove, it will pick based on above rules.
Vigil will not affect status effects inflicted by killer powers(for example it will ignore Deep Wound from Legion's power, but will affect Deep Wound from Borrowed Time).
Vigil will also not affect Exhaustion status effect inflicted by sprint perks, but will affect Exhaustion inflicted by killer addons. So you can't sprint burst, use vigil and sprint burst again. Optionally, it could remove half of the Exhaustion Cooldown inflicted by sprint perks.

Dark Sense:
Change: each time a generator is completed the killer aura is revealed to you for 5 seconds, not only when you complete the generator.

Devs, please, if you read this I would appreciate a comment. A "we read it" is good enough, but your opinion on this changes would be perfect.

Hope will be to much the reason in 3 min you can do 2-4 gens so with your idea one survivor will have between 120 sec and 200 sec and right now loops take way to much time ( with onlt 100% speed)

Technician, you should have a chance to make noise so you will not just sit there and nothing ( and besits will counter complicity the overcharge )

Distortion just no, already give too much and you lose nothing so it's should stay as it is.

Boil Over ok it will be a nice perk.

Left Behind if the devs change the end game maybe but right now if you are the last one you have to 2 options either go for trap door ( if you have done 2 gens) or be found from the killer by mistake.

Vigil no the reason you will completely counter perks like the sloppy butcher and third seal.

Dark Sense so you want to reward bad players and give a free alert

Killer = easy-mode, hand-held, babied, special snowflake classes that constantly cries for Killer buffs and Survivor nerfs (and gets them each and every patch) Nothing new there.

Where is a big nerd for survivors that was not a quality of life and when the killer begin to be easy mode ?

Killer has always been easy-mode.

Except Freddy, only Killer that deserves any semblance of respect.

When and how?
