Hi can I introduce you to Twitter.

I did. Oversaturation is a #########.

Why is there a censor? Because some words are absolutely henious and can never be justified.
Why is this censor so draconian? Absolutely no clue, but it's terribly designed tbh and lets through actual swear words while blurring out 'gg yun-jin you did well' to '## ####### you did ####'.

I gotta leave a like because of the dedication and thoroughness. Just be warned you can't make posts like these without hearing, "I'm sure glad you're not a dev."
Oh don't worry, I was prepared for those comments. I'm shocked there hasn't been more of them, actually.
And thank you, I appreciate it!

Despising old 'slinger is fair. Poor guy needs changes more than most of the killers you did actual propose changes for though.
Oh, I don't doubt that. But like, I left Hyperfocus mostly unchanged because I don't actually know how to effectively nerf it without making it completely useless nor do I know how to rework it into something different. It's the same with Slinger, I just don't know enough on how to buff and/or rework him

I'm curious, what is the point of Wesker's infection if it no longer hinders at max? Does it just do nothing? The hinder is a good threat of his power compared to other killers that just have things like exposed or perma injured.
At full infection you still get instantly picked up if he hits you with his power. What's essentially being Exposed is a pretty big threat regardless, especially with a slightly increased grab box.

@RonMan32 said:
I'm a tad baffled at the lack of Deathslinger changes given the sheer amount of killers you did tweak. Every killer you mentioned needs changes and Deathslinger is perfect? You have a lot of interesting changes but as a 'slinger main I was disappointed to not find any wacky cool changes for him.
"Honestly that's one of the reasons there's nothing for Deathslinger. I just don't know enough about his kit, but unlike Artist I've never tried to learn more either, so didn't feel at all comfortable making any changes (and sadly I will not ever willingly revert the nerfs without changing a lot because that version of Slinger made me want to tear my hair out in frustration)."
From a comment on Page 2. You'll notice that Ghostface and Legion are also lacking (and probably some others) - I simply don't play them enough to know what I'd change, and I've never tried to either.
For Legion it's slightly different. My Legion consultant was my ex and since we broke up like 3 months ago (?) I haven't played them nor do I have someone to speak to about it lmao.
But genuinely, I don't know enough about Deathslinger to make proper changes and I'm not reverting the nerfs simply because I absolutely despised old Slinger.

Even lilith can't get everyone down fast with iri tag alch ring on blight. 22 second unbreakable or simply someone hiding nullifys any chance of 4 people being slugged. Only way it will happen Is with massive skill gaps. Though it does look fun on ptb, just infinite chase. And yeah 3rd best slugger is oni for sure.

Where was I again? Didn’t find time to read more than one paragraph until now..
Map changes: I guess everyone agrees here though some changes need testing obviously with how the tiles actually turn out etc. Nothing notably to add.
Basekit BBQ auras I don’t like. It’s still very strong on certain killers while others can’t really utilize it. And the killers it’s strong on don’t need any buffs (well.. maybe some of them, but not this kind of buff).
Bloodlust removal I don’t know - depends on how the other changes play out obviously. But iirc even the test weekend kinda resulted in pretty much no noticeable differences? So yeah. Get rid of it.
Corrupt basekit - haven’t read the perk change but I agree in its current form it shouldn’t be broken if it was base.
For killer changes I am not in any way a killer main nor am I focusing enough on one/few killers to be good at them (I don’t even know most of the addons and just slap on whatever) - so not much input here from me but some specific ones
Nurse - idk I think she shouldn’t become another normal walking speed killer and should stay special. Always liked the idea to change some addon and turning her blink attacks into special hits. Also I think Hit detection needs some adjustments as I am pretty sure Mouse has super high advantage over Controller taking away much skill for M&K players.
Nightmare - pretty much in line with a rework suggestion I did iirc. Wonder how GeneralV approved the alarmclocks - was pretty sure they were against them completely.
Pig - still think her crouch/ambush needs some QoL improvements. Though I don’t think traps should automatically activate in EGC. Maybe they could get a different effect during EGC?
Pyramid Head - Obsidian Goblet seems pretty OP or am I missing something? Maybe make it so that it can’t injure and break something with one hit?
Onryo - permanent killer instinct could become pretty annoying/possibly abusable by swf squads?
Mettle of Man like endurance upon being unhooked sounds interesting and would definitely love to see it tested!
Medkit nerfs also agreed.
Electrified - I may not understand it correctly? Who is screaming/incapacitated if one electrified and another survivor ‚meet‘? And the status will jump over?
SoloQ improvements - too much auras for my taste, I would rather see the status indicators first without the other changes and see what changes/if further improvements need to be added
Blindness - i would leave the aura reading blindness with the restricted view
Perks - won’t read those today.
Map offerings - let them stay as they are and see if they are still a major problem with the map changes proposed
Deep Wounds - sure why not.
Server Validation - Yes.
not going to reply to everything but
Onryo - I meant while fully condemned. That was my fault for not making it clear.
Currently a fully condemned survivor has killer instinct for 6 seconds. This change would make it permanent while they're at full condemnation.
Electrified - so to explain it i'll use Survivor 1 and Survivor 2.
Survivor 1 has the Electrified status for 20 seconds. After 10 seconds, Survivor 2 comes within the trigger range, and so Survivor 2 screams and becomes Incapacitated for 5 seconds. Survivor 2 is now affected by the Electrified status for 20 seconds (which does begin at the same time as the Incapacitated), and will tick down independently from Survivor 1. Theoretically this could create an infinite loop of never losing your Electrified status but that requires a lot of terrible play and not being able to find a locker to hide in until it expires.

@johnlikesguns2 said:
I didin't even bother reading the whole thing. But reducing the the gens to 85 seconds and even buffing prove thyself is beyond stupidity since gens are still pretty fast with Proves and hyperfocus.
...where did I buff Prove Thyself? Like I literally nerfed it later in the post lol
Also if you literally read any further you'd see why gens were reduced by 5 seconds. Like imagine willingly admitting that you're purposefully misinformed and yet still make claims lmfaoo

@Leachy_Jr said:
I feel like this is one of the first posts about changing the entire game that I don't entirely disagree with. A lot of these changes are pretty good, with the only change I actively dislike being breakdown.
As one of the 4 artist enjoyers I gotta comment on her. :)
Birds can already go up sloped given they're on the flight path (when not colliding and when within 8m). Birds going down drops sounds like it could pull off some funny plays, but it would make her more map dependant as hitting elevated gens from another elevated position would be impossible. Such as hitting main gen from hangman on dead dawg.
Repelling not cancelling and increasing the repel time is bad for both sides IMHO. Firstly it buffs her pressure by like, a lot, and considering there's lots of map size reductions and call of brine (arguably one of her best perks) base kit this would make her far too annoying. Plus it removes part of her skill cap knowing when it's okay to use 2 birds due to repel being reset.
A buff to her repel isn't really needed, I would've personally went down the route of making festering carrion basekit (0.5s reduced cooldown) or reworking carrion and doing a flat 1s cooldown reduction on all times. Carrion is her "why would I use any other add on" add on similar to toy sword so something should be done to stop that.
The reduced burn time isn't a gamechanger but I wouldn't say its needed. The self burn is interesting and I wouldn't mind it tbh as long as you couldn't do it while running.
Also you can already burn crows off of other people, unless I'm dumb and just read it wrong.
Overall really good post. Love the accessibility changes.
I'm gonna be honest most of these things I didn't know because I really dislike playing her and none of the Artists I face know any of that stuff. Thank you for your input on all of these, I really appreciate it since with her I'm very in the dark and so my changes were more focused on finding the things I genuinely despise about her and tweaking them slightly to make it slightly more tolerable for me.
Honestly that's one of the reasons there's nothing for Deathslinger. I just don't know enough about his kit, but unlike Artist I've never tried to learn more either, so didn't feel at all comfortable making any changes (and sadly I will not ever willingly revert the nerfs without changing a lot because that version of Slinger made me want to tear my hair out in frustration).
Edit: Oh, and as for that comment on the Saloon gen, if you think in my dream patch I'm leaving anything about that hellscape untouched then you're wrong. Platform gens are being nuked, tiles completely reworked, and that main building is losing essentially all of it's strength. Me and that map do not get along.

that's a great post. I ain't reading all of it because I read half of it already
Thank you for suffering through everything I sent you lmao

So I've taken some feedback from the initial comments and re-read the post with an adequate amount of sleep, and made the following changes to my main post, but I'm putting them here too because good luck finding what changed in that monstrosity:
- Map Offerings have now been reversed. They will instead reduce the chance of going to a particular Realm by 100%!
- A Totem Counter has been added to the HUD.
- Small Game has been changed. It no longer has a Totem Counter, but instead will grant 1% Haste for every destroyed Totem on the map when not in a chase. This Haste does not stack with other effects, and Haste will be removed upon Totems Reanimating through any means.
- Adjusted the wording of some add-ons for The Nightmare and The Nurse to remove Choice Restrictions.
- Adjusted effects of some add-ons for The Nightmare to remove Choice Restrictions.
- Adjusted the effect of Dried Cherry Blossom to remove Choice Restricton.
- Mother-Daughter Ring has now been changed instead:
- -Mother-Daughter Ring no longer removes Scratch Marks, but only increases Movement speed during Phase-Walk by 10%.
- -Mother-Daughter Ring now allows Yamaoka's Haunting to be used, even when not fully charged.
- An actual effect has been given to Uchiwa, which I previously forgot to do!
- -Reveals the aura of any survivors within 16m of your Husk when you exit a Phase-Walk.
- Removed Choice Restriction for the following perk combinations:
- -New perk Sympathetic Torture with many hook-related perks.
- -Unrelenting and Save The Best For Last.
- -No Way Out and Remember Me.
- Hex: No One Escapes Death has received a buff. It now increases Movement Speed by 0.05% per Token, instead of 0.025m/s. This should be more in-line with the current wording and current effect, so it doesn't look like an objective nerf overall. NOED also now cannot be prevented from spawning as, similar to Hex: Ruin, if there are no available Dull Totems on the map but there are destroyed ones, NOED will Reanimate one Totem at random.
Choice Restrictions clearly weren't very popular, so while I liked them, a lot of other people didn't and thought they looked unprofessional and a way of lazy balancing. However, the Restriction has stayed with the perk "Hyperfocus" and it's many Restrictions quite simply because I don't actually know what to do with the perk without instantly making it useless except a full rework, and I also don't know what to rework it to since I've never played RE0 or RE1 and don't know the character of Rebecca all too well. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!
Thank you to everyone who's given feedback so far, and while I can't change everything I will gladly hear you out and change what people have greivances with (so long as there's, like, an actual way for me to change things without completely upending the entire post).

@sulaiman said:
While i appreciate your work on this, and you have several good ideas, i think i might actually leave this version of the game, because stealth play other than hidding as soon as you hear a terror radius seem to be dead in this version. Better brightness, better fov, less optical distraction, and map changes seem to resolve around looping first and foremost.
thats simply not the game i want to play.
If it's any consolation I tried keeping stealth play in mind with the perk changed, but clearly I didn't do a good enough job on it lol. As for the brightness settings, that's already possible on PC through GeForce Filters and Reshade (which have been specifically whitelisted by the devs) or even monitor settings alone, so I honestly didn't think it was that bad.
As for the map changes... yeah no I see your point.
I think stealth is great and I've started using it a hell of a lot more recently ever since I started using Shadow Step.

Well it's been over 6 years so if they haven't learned now I doubt they ever will.

@YOURFRIEND said:
Other stuff while I'm thinking about it: why change the zones great skill checks appear in.... And then add an option to disable it? Everyone would simply disable it. Pointless.
Making it so certain perk synergies are outright disabled is inelegant and frankly boring game design.
You just juggled stuff around on nurse. She'd still be the best killer in the game by far.
Merciless storm on every gen is trivially countered by bringing a toolbox and only using it on the last 10% of the gen, dramatically reducing the duration of the skill checks. Pointless.
Overall incredible survivor buffs for the sake of BBQ base and nebulous map changes we both know wouldn't actually solve any problems.
Edit: oh yeah, blindness is now pointless. A neutered version of nightfall? Doesn't counter Windows, which is the primary utility of the status effect? In fact windows now counters it. Lol. Making a bad status effect worse for vague solo queue reasons.
There's one key word you're missing: fun.
People have complained about skill checks being boring. They've been completely changed, but some people will (namely controller players or those with reflex issues, because shockingly the dbd fan base isn't entirely 3 years old) be unable to deal with it. That's the point of accessibility.
And if people turn it off, they suddenly have no right to complain that gens are uninteractive or boring because they're not playing them like they should.

Omg we've got the rock climbing gang back this bug is the only thing that redeems this map

I wish I had your patience and devotion to write this. I was surprise you didn’t completely gut the Nurse like so many on here would, then again, you do have a brain!
I am sad you had no mention of increasing Pyramid Heads dump truck with more cake.
To be fair I haven't had a Nurse main stop by yet to let me know if I have or haven't massacred her yet. Time will tell ✨
(though honestly I think I may have gotten a bit happy with the QOL and buffed her a smidge in places 🕳️👩🏻🦯)

If you want the EGC started, then open the gate yourself. EGC exists exclusively to bring the game to an end under normal gameplay situations (aka no cheaters) and it does that job flawlessly.

What about Small Game and Clairvoyance? I feel Clairvoyance offers better info than Small Game and outclasses it. The only time Small game is better is at the start of the game with finding your first totem. Why would someone run Small Game and not Clairvoyance? I would assume Clairvoyance also reveals auras of reanimated totems.
Would small game need a secondary effect maybe?
Small Game helpfully functions as a totem counter (that I honestly forgot to slap into the solo improvements but with my NOED change I don't think it matters), but also that Small Game exists exclusively as a totem hunter and is very good at it, whereas Clairvoyance is a much better general aura reading perk but requires the first Totem to be found manually, requires your teammates to not cleanse any totems, and while Small Game users may want to demolish any totems on sight ASAP Clairvoyance users would likely want to pace themselves to get consistent aura reading all game

I really like the idea of the electrified status effect. Obviously it's essentially just Iri Queen, but having an info-based status that isn't a direct aura reveal/killer instinct built into add-ons/powers on other killers would be sick.
Thank you !! That's honestly one of my favourite things from this list so I'm glad someone else enjoys the concept of it! ✨

Yeah, I mean, it's not something I'd rage quit the game over or anything but it just wouldn't sit right with me is all. I have globophobia, not to the point I'm deathly afraid but enough that I get very uncomfortable and nauseous in the worst case but it's never really stopped me dead from doing something or powering on. Maybe if I had a more common or severe fear I might feel differently about it. If a spider killer ever does get added, I wish you the best.
The other thing was the Choice Restrictions but I misread that. I thought you meant it as a permanent thing with some perks never being allowed together but I see you meant it more as an alternative to kill-switching until they get fixed. I wouldn't mind something like that, could be used with add-ons/items as well.
With some of them it honestly kinda depends on the situation. Some combinations would be permanent (like if you look at the Nurse, her iridescent addons can't be used together. Not because it would be imbalanced but because they physically couldn't ever work together, so a choice restriction is best). Others wouldn't be- say if Oppression applying PGTW and Overbrine to 3 different gens was a bit much then, say, Oppression could be taken from the combination until a more permanent solution is found. If that solution is just leaving Oppression as-is because it's actually really cool and just leaving the restriction in place then that's the outcome, but if there's actually an even cooler solution that hadn't been tried yet but worked even better than that would be the case instead.
I hope this makes sense?? It's 2am and my phone keyboard hates me.
(I didn't pick oppression because that's the one idea that wasn't mine here but that's also a funny coincidence lmao).

Couldn't someone with 5 hooks be able to get 3 instant downs too?
Yep, they could. But someone with 4 hooks couldn't.
-
@JustAnotherNewbie said:
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/3210154#Comment_3210154
So basically it's the haste effect that has been nerfed? Because if someone has not been doing well, like say, they have only 2 hooks so far therefore 2 tokens they don't gain that much movement speed right? Since currently they gain like 4%. But at the same time it got buffed cause it always activates.
They'd only get a small amount if haste and, crucially, a single down.
Each time a survivor is hit with a Basic Attack, 4/3/2 Tokens are consumed from the perk based on the level it's at (level 1, 2, or 3). When all Tokens have been removed, NOED automatically deactivates.
So with your example, they would have 2 hooks and so 2 Tokens, giving them +0.05m/s movement speed. Also, they'd only be able to down one survivor before NOED automatically deactivates itself.
Meanwhile, if someone got 6 hooks and had NOED tier 3, they'd be able to get 3 separate instant downs before NOED deactivated itself, and would begin with +0.15m/s movement speed (going down to +0.1m/s, then +0.05m/s, then 0 when they run out of Tokens).
I think it's an objective nerf? I'm not 100% on movement speed but I think it's more than 2%, but at the same time if you played well it's guaranteed value since the survivors cannot stop NOED from activating now.

Vehemently was probably way too strong a word but the thing I disagreed with the most or at least had the most internal emotional backlash too was the Phobia mode.
I'll be the first to admit DBD is more a hide and seek with horror themes game then an actual horror experience but having a mode where you can just turn off common phobias just doesn't sit right with me for some reason. Like, if anything it's a good thing people are scared of certain things since it'll keep the horror aspect longer for them and being able to just turn off doesn't seem right.
Not the best comparison but it's like if you could just turn off all jumpscare animations in a FNAF game. It would turn it into something it's not. It's hard to put into words what I mean but I really dislike the idea of a horror-themed game having a way to turn off the horror themes.
I'll skim through it again quick, there was another one I didn't care for. For the record, I'm very impressed with the amount of work you must of put in this. I attempted something like this once after watching Otz's Killer change video a while back and I got to Nurse and just gave up.
Thank you !! I really appreciate it.
And I kind of get what you mean about phobia mode, but at the same time I know that if they ever implemented a spider killer then without a phobia mode I'd have to quit. It's not so much the enjoyable horror as the I feel like there's spiders in my room on my arms under my skin etc, and I really couldn't cope with it.
To me, at least, horror is good when it can make you deathly afraid but at the same time you're still having fun. Your heart is racing and you're on the edge of your seat, tension has been building and you just know something will be around that corner, but then it isn't and you relax and that's when it gets you. And with some things related to dbd, ie claustrophobic corridors on Lerys/Midwich, or the suspense as you repair an inside gen vs a Stealth killer, you can never get rid of them but I'm also not sure anyone would want to. But a serious phobia isn't one of those things that either integral to horror (how can it succeed so broadly if phobias are subjective to everyone) so I don't feel that bad about the phobia mode

I have read some part of it, I haven't read all the killer Perks (I play survivor atm).
About deep wounds, I would prefer it when they are self-inflicted they give you a different screen effect (as in from dead-hard or borrowed time). Sometimes if I'm playing on a dark map, deep wounds make it very hard to see where to go next after dead hard. Which I don't think should be the case.
For killers inflicting you with deep wounds due to their ability or their perk, the screen effect should stay as it is currently. Making it harder to see until you mend.
Vigil sounds strong. I mean I really wanna run it anyway but I don't have Quentin atm. But it would be really strong reworked. And like the proposed change to Clairvoyance. I'd really like it if could show totem auras, but I'm not sure why one would choose Small Game over Clairvoyance in that case. Maybe it should offer a secondary effect?
I like the Wiretap and Repressed Alliance perk. I guess with the slowdown increasing, it would be better to be more in control of when gens unlock.
Excited for the removal of Bloodlust.
I just wanted to add, what is the thought of removing or reducing breakable doors/walls from buildings?
I'm a bit confused over NOED. So to get tokens you need to hook before exit gates are powered. When do you gain the movement speed, after gens are done or everytime you hook? What about the Exposed status. Can it happen at any point in the game now? How can you get a maximum of 8 stacks? If I am getting this right, you start at 0. Then you put a survivor at a dying state and hook them. You gain a stack. Then you down another survivor now you lose 2? Or do you stack before gens are finished and lose stacks after gens are done? Or do you slug everyone first and then hook to get all the stacks?
Okay with the less pallets, it isn't necessarily less pallets, just weaker ones (and then on maps such as Eyrie of Crows or The Game, where there's more pallets than I can shake a stick at, actual reduced pallets too). With the less breakable walls it's because 99% of them are boring and uninspired and simply create a god window if left unbroken. A few of them (ie quite a lot on Midwich actually) are pretty nifty but most of them serve no purpose so they can go.
With NOED, you gain Tokens before the Exit Gates are powered and the Totem spawns. Then, the Exit Gates become powered and a Totem spawns, either by binding itself to a random Dull Totem or creating a Reanimated Totem out of the remains. You cannot gain any more Tokens at this point, however this is when the Exposed and Haste Status Effects come into play.
Hope that cleared it up ✨

Had to keep these changes realistic after all, why else do you think there's no optimisation mentions either.
They'll be here in about 2070, and that's an early estimate

@DoritoHead said:
Wow, this is a ton of stuff!
loving the accessibility features. I think there could be better solutions than turning the killer into an amorphous blob in phobia mode, though it’d require the phobia mode to be tailored uniquely to killers that it’s activated on.
By the way, what kind of phobia would Artist trigger? I’m just curious because I don’t hear her mentioned in conversations concerning killers and phobias.
I believe it's called ornithophobia, though I could be wrong. Definitely not one of the more common phobias, and though I'm pretty sure Jane (the streamer) has it I could be wrong.
It's just one I know can cause an issue, so I mentioned it. If I knew of any others I'd mention them too

@ohheyitsbobcat said:
There is way too much to go over so I'll just say there were things I loved, liked, were meh about, disliked and vehemently disliked.
The power cords on gens was the thing I found most interesting. I don't know for sure if I like it or dislike it, but I found it the most interesting and something I wouldn't mind seeing in-game so I could form a better opinion.
Though them needing 3 cords to power a gate seems redundant with the 2% bonus per cord. That would mean every gate always has a minimum of 6% increase. I'd have it as every cord after 3 offer a bonus of 5% up to 10% that way it's all the same.
out of sheer, morbid curiosity what were the bits you vehemently disliked (if there's not too many to mention)? For no reason other than I'm wondering lmao

[This post is Part Two. If you somehow missed all of Part One above, I'm actually impressed. Please note that technical limitations prevented me from posting it all together. If you notice any formatting errors, they will be edited out swiftly, and simply exist to give me time to claim the top comment.]
The plague | vile purge
- The Plague is now able to activate Corrupt Purge from anywhere on the map. Doing so requires a short channel of 2.5 seconds facing any Pool of Devotion on the map, and will slow The Plague to 1m/s during this time.
- The Plague's Corrupted Pool of Devotion will now spawn as close to the centre of the map as possible.
The executioner | Rights of Judgement
- Completed generators and broken hooks will no longer cause Trail Elements to become Restricted Trail Elements. A hook returning from being broken will automatically cause all nearby Trail Elements to become Restricted Trail Elements.
- Increased Cage of Atonement Relocation radius to 13m.
- Leapord-Print Fabric replaces Killer Instinct with aura reading for 1 seconds.
- Misty Day, Remains of Judgement now replaces Killer Instinct with aura reading for 1.5 seconds.
- Scarlet Egg now replaces Killer Instinct with aura reading until the Survivor steps out of the Torment Trail, and for an additional 1.5 seconds.
- Rust-Coloured Egg now increases the width of Punishment of the Damned by 0.5m either side.
- Obsidian Goblet now causes Punishment of the Damned to automatically break any pallets or Breakable Walls it comes into contact with, as well as blocks any windows it travels through.
- Iridescent Seal of Metatron now causes Punishment of the Damned to also apply the Tormented status effect onto any hit survivors.
The blight | blighted corruption
- Reworked collision to prevent sliding along obstacles.
- Reworked how framerate interacts with moving the camera to prevent excessive flicking. This change should also apply to The Hillbilly and The Executioner, to name a few.
- Reworked The Blight's hurtbox post-swing to hopefully make hits more consistent.
- Increased the cooldown of missed Lethal Rush attacks to 3 seconds.
- The Fatigue duration of Blighted Corruption will now increase by 0.25 seconds for each additional Rush Token consumed after the initial 2.
- Fixed Compound Seven to be less buggy and less jarring.
- Fixed the indicator on Chipped Monocle to be less obtrusive.
- Canker Thorn now reduces the additional Fatigue by 0.125 seconds.
- Blighted Rat now increases movement speed by a flat 4% regardless of rush.
- Blighted Crow now increases movement speed by a flat 5% regardless of rush.
- Adrenaline Vial no longer increases available Rush Tokens.

survivors
- Adjusted hitboxes when moving, healing, or being healed to better reflect the actual survivor position, rather than have the capsule remain stationary.
With this change, and the move to more server-sided validation as explained in our blogpost on cheating and later in this post, we hope to allieviate frustration arising from latency and mismatched hitboxes.
- The basekit Endurance upon being unhooked is being changed to an effect similar to Mettle of Man.
Tunneling is still very easy and very rewarding to pull off, and with us changing perks and powers to help incentivise spreading damage around the entire survivor team we also want to help give reasons not to tunnel and camp. Off The Record very quickly became the favoured anti-tunnel perk, however if the killer were to hit you as you were being unhooked then the perk would actually do nothing against tunneling because Endurance doesn't stack. Therefore, we are making the decision to convert the basekit Endurance into an effect more similar to Mettle of Man- a 10 second window where they are immune to one instance of damage and do not need to mend. We have adjusted relevant perks accordingly and will be watching the effects of this closely.
- Medkits have had their speeds decreased and now no longer stack with perks.
Medkits are incredibly powerful in the right hands, and often times a little too powerful. We are decreasing the healing speed of Medkits across the board, and preventing them from getting out of hand with perks. We will be watching these closely too and seeing if further adjustments must be made.
new status effect: electrified
A survivor who is Electrified carries with them a shock of electricity. Another survivor getting within 2m of the Electrified survivor will also electrify them, cause them to scream, and interrupt whatever action they are doing, as well as Incapacitate them for 5 seconds. Electrified survivors can safely enter the 2m zone of other Electrified survivors. Electrified will fade away after a set period of time.
solo queue improvements
We know that solo queue can be a slough, and while we know these won't fix the issues that stem from bad teammates, we hope they can at least help alleviate some frustration and help close the solo-SWF gap:
- When a survivor changes health state, their aura is revealed to the entire team for 3 seconds.
- When a survivor is hooked, the aura of all survivors is revealed to all other survivors.
- When the killer is within 2m of a survivor being chased, reveal their aura for 3 seconds. This can only happen once per chase.
- Survivors working on generators, healing, or being healed have their auras revealed to all other survivors.
- Status indicators have been added to the HUD. This will indicate if a player is on a generator, running, in chase, crouching, healing, being healed, cleansing a Dull Totem, cleansing a Hex or Reanimated Totem, Booning a Dull totem, Booning a Hex or Reanimated Totem, or unhooking. Furthermore, it will reveal how close to the killer they are through the colour of the indicator. The more red an indicator, the more intense the Terror Radius they are hearing, and the opposite is true the whiter the indicator.
- After a survivor has been left in the Dying State for 30 seconds, the aura of all survivors is revealed to all other survivors.
- During the match lobby, loading screen, and in-game pause menu, the loadout and current item and add-ons of any of your teammates can be viewed.
- There is now a totem counter on the HUD.
blindness rework
Moreover, Blindness has been reworked completely. This Status Effect was often seen as a "solo stomper", impacing solo teams massively while impacting SWF teams far less. Therefore, Blindness shall be changed to the following:
- Restrict your view distance for the duration of the effect.
This effect will be the same as The Dredge's Nightfall. We've streamlined The Dredge's VFX to help deal with issues of eye strain, and so we feel comfortable implementing this effect in smaller amounts with other perks, powers, and add-ons. Crucially, the restriction will be less than what Nightfall grants.

Does circle of healing/selfcare help against the slug tactic though? Since someone has to get them off of the floor. Spreading it to them?
Provided they watch their Condemned bar then it doesn't matter. You won't be applying it often enough for it to truly matter, especially against players that know what they're doing.
That's, what, +2 condemned for a teleport + slug pick up. Survivors remove 3 condemned for delivering a tape and them turning TVs off this way doesn't allow iri tape to turn them back on.
So long as the survivors are good, you will struggle a lot with this tactic.
I faced it not too long ago. teammates were absolutely useless. I don't think my Condemned ever went above 5 and I managed 2 gens and lord-knows however many heals.

@supersonic853 said:
I don't normally like to ping but @GoodBoyKaru you play a lot of onryo right? Whats your thoughts? It feels like a myers tombstone case where just because there's one way for myers/onryo to win easily doesn't mean they aren't weak overall. But my knowledge is limited.
I don't like playing it, because it feels like a win more tactic. Like I'm sure that it can work against good players, but it doesn't often do so, and the entire strategy is hard countered by the team playing smart with medkits or Circle of Healing of even Self-Care. Simply have another survivor 99' your heal and then finish yourself off with a medkit or any other method of self-heal.

Not saying games shouldn't be accessible, but I doubt flash lights are the only thing in game that can trigger seizures.
Oh they aren't. But they're also a massive cause for them in DBD specifically, next to Doctor/Onryo VFX and a bug that makes lights in houses flicker far faster than they ever should. They've been complained about for literal years as a massive seizure warning. It's about time it got fixed.
-
@HoodedWildKard said:
Well it's one less way for survivors to be toxic I guess. Maybe they should apply the same cool down to crouching 🤣 doesn't induce seziures but it would be nice to have it in. Also can they seriously actually be making this change to prevent seizures? Correct ne if I'm wrong but I thought general advice for people prone to seizures was not not play video games.
Accessibility exists to ensure that as many people as possible are able to play video games. They shouldn't be alienated because of something out of their control and when it's this easy to do, it makes sense for them to do so, since it allows more people to buy and play their game, and thus makes them more money.

If bhvr goes bust and dbd dies before they can bring it out then it wouldn't come out.
I can't imagine that licence is cheap, considering it's currently owned by Disney and game development rights are with Sega right now

Yes essentially this means you've changed your IP address in the course of typing. Could be you've changed from WiFi to data or vice versa, or you've just moved a step too far, whatever. Copy whatever you've written then refresh the page and paste it and you're all set.

So a bunch of very weak and minor buffs, you cannot believe that 2.5% regression is not a good thing as for years kicking a gen was literally useless, how many people do you know that run tier 1 brutal strength
Show me where I said it wasn't a good thing?
Also, show me where I advocated against increasing base regression speed to make it actually do something?

How would you know they were banned? I’ve never gotten a report back to me saying if they had been banned or not, and I’ve reported a handful of obvious cheaters with video evidence. No touch back or anything
Sometimes they just can't help themselves but to stalk your socials and taunt you daily and then lose it when they actually get banned.
Massive minority, I know, but also very satisfying to watch lose

These are vast survivor buffs. You've reverted most of the killer buffs from last chapter and given survivors catte blanche to bang out gens at all times, constantly knowing what both the killer and your fellow survivors are always doing. I don't understand why anyone would want hold W back.

While your Wraith idea sounds cool, and I’d love for the devs to implement Mortal Kombat style Moris, I don’t think they would go that far. At the very least, I’d like to see him place a bell on the Survivors head and bing bong them to death.
To be honest I thought more Hag/Demo style. The actual bodies are still left untouched but it looks sick

Trapper - Imagine if instead he grabbed the survivor's head and slammed it into an open bear trap
Wraith - Instead of literally Trapper 2.0, he literally rips open their back and pulls out their spine
