We desperately need this, plus generic avatars for the survivors in the pre-game lobby like DbD Mobile has. Because @sleepy_knight‘s stories above are unfortunately not unique. There’s no reason a killer should have the possibility of stream sniping, or that level of advantage going into a match (knowing exactly who a previous survivor is, targeting them because of how said match went, most likely knowing their build, etc.).

They’re always going to reach a locker again, unless maybe you have Iron Grasp and/or the PYWF stacks to take them to a dead zone. But there’s no guarantee that they won’t get back to a locker even with those things. It needs to be changed for both sides.

Yes she is OP I got basically 4K playing her last time (one dc:t after he was downed) This is result how it ends in majority of soloQ matches as well in my experience.

So you had an early DC, a survivor without maxed perks or even a full loadout (presumably a brand newer player)... and put that forth as good data to prove Nurse is OP?

Thanks for the chuckle.

in Let's have an actual discussion about Nurse Comment by GoshJosh July 17, 2022

I’ve proposed some ideas in the past to help scoring in the survival category:

Searching chests now awards survival points (this is not an objective, but could lead to your survival)
Escaping a chase now awards survival points (just the “Escaped“ scoring event... the time lasted in chase will still award boldness points)
Change all scoring events for removing Pig’s RBT to survival (this is also not an objective.. you will die if you don’t remove it, except for a hatch escape)

I don't get the logic personally
Devour and NOED both do the same thing so they should both be revealed or not revealed in the same manner
I'm 100% sure I've seen NOED get revealed by special attacks before, I had a huntress hatchet hit me, injure me but the 'exposed: NOED' thing popped up.

The only caveat I can think of is that NOED gives a permanent speed boost as long as the hex is up, whereas Devour only gives a brief haste after hooking a survivor. But I agree with you it should be consistent across both hexes in either revealing themselves on special attacks or not.

It's not
I'm pretty sure Huntress hatchets reveal NOED, I've had it happen before

According to the wiki, only Devour Hope is revealed by special attacks. Not NOED.

Hex: Devour Hope is a Teachable Perk unique to The Hag .It can be unlocked for all other Characters from Level 40 onwards: Rework: replaced the Repair Speed penalty at 1 Token on Tier III with a 5 % Haste Status Effect at 2 Tokens. Quality of Life: all Token effects now apply across all Tiers. Buff: changed the Haste Status Effect percentage to a variable 3/4/5 %. Unlike Hex: No One Escapes Death , Hex: Devour Hope will be revealed to the Survivors upon damaging a Survivor in any way, including

As to the topic, I personally don’t see why either of them should reveal themselves outside of basic attacks. Since special attacks never utilize exposed.

Except you don’t have to stealth at all because unlike stakeout it recharges in chase too as long as you’re in the terror radius. That’s what makes it too strong imo

Nope. For the 10 seconds it blocks your scratch marks, it doesn’t consume any further tokens. Plus, I don’t think many of us can expect to go against an iridescent add-on Pig very often.

in Upcoming Distortion changes Comment by GoshJosh July 15, 2022

Yes and no. Any nerf to NOED is welcome, but it didn’t address the root problem of NOED. Unlike any other hex perk, a killer with NOED always gets something out of it for zero input - regardless of how well or not they played. If the survivors did stop to make sure no dull totems are left on the map by the fifth gen pop, the killer got at least 70 seconds of extra time (this is just cleansing/blessing at base speed - not factoring in any speed up or slow down perks, plus the time to find the totems, etc.). If survivors just left one measly dull totem up, the killer is getting a speed boost and instant down ability until cleansed or blessed. It can lead to such fast snowballs upon a survivor team already running out of resources from a full match. And don’t forget hooking near NOED will still be a thing.

Like others above said, it needs some weight by killer input and/or power lessened by the number of dull totems actually still up by the fifth gen pop. It’s a very unhealthy perk design, and it’s upsetting it wasn’t massively overhauled in this patch.

Edit: And now that generators will take even longer to complete, I only suspect NOED to be even more problematic.

OP specified he opened the gate. Other than adding a timed pressure for the survivors, there's not too often another reason to do that than Blood Warden. Especially if said gate was not 99% opened.

Off the record should have just stayed an immersive perk. Why they have to add endurance to it?

Because survivors shouldn't have to rely on other survivors bringing a perk to protect them from a tunneling killer - at least prior to the end game. This buff helps keep the survivor immersed from the killer after being unhooked. Perfectly fits the theme and fills a need.

Sure.

I mean, if you want a preview of how the devs would implement teleporting hooked survivors, just look at Pyramid Head's cage moving functionality. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a cage relocate against a camping Pyramid Head. And I've been playing since before his release with thousands of hours. So no, it really wouldn't work with this dev team.

Survivors literally got a BUFF to Borrowed Time. Dead Hard, even though weaker, could actually have more value than its old version in certain situations before the new update nerfing it further. DS got weaker, yeah, but survivors got new options like OFF THE RECORD in return, just like Ruin was completely butchered to give room to better, healthier options.

So survivors get buffed BT and OTR.. ok. Here's what they lose:

Spine Chill
Iron Will
Self-Care
Botany Knowledge
Decisive Strike
Calm Spirit
Pharmacy

Seems like a reasonable, fair trade. /s

The change to Tinkerer is something survivor mains have been asking for a long time, too. Devs are listening to both sides.

Look at how Tinkerer was nerfed relative to the survivor perk nerfs, though. It's still strong and viable. It just doesn't have unlimited utility anymore. But it still gets the job done. It was a deserved and fair nerf, without butchering the perk.

Why couldn't survivors get that?

Im about 99% sure its they refuse to put effort into a system to differentiate it. As i said all it would take is some basic coding to implement something to differentiate the two. Unless they have something that i am unaware of in place. Which i seriously doubt.

How would this system know if my Internet connection truly went out, or I pulled the plug myself? Are we really going to invest this much time and effort to try to encourage players to stay in a match they don’t want to be in anymore? Instead, focus on the things that lead to people DCing.

Efficiency effects charges so if you find a brown med kit in a chest you won't be able to fully heal yourself if you're running Botany Knowledge.

Or green (Emergency Medkit), as others previously stated in this thread. Goodbye Botany with a medkit. But at this point, probably just goodbye Botany.

...Because they're perks that revolve around item efficiency and new Botany Knowledge is a perk that affects non item healing? I'm not sure what you're even asking here, it's not as though Botany had its one thing taken away and now it's useless. It's not even like Calm Spirit where its new downside actually affects what it's used for.
You bring Botany if you want to heal other people quickly, or if you want to make better use out of self-healing with something like CoH. Those are both very, very strong uses of Botany Knowledge, the perk has not been killed even slightly.
Also, solo queue players do not need and have never needed either Self-Care or Botany Knowledge. BK did help, but SC has always been an active detriment for all but the very few who knew how to use it properly. Solo queue players ""need"" a method to heal themselves in the clutch scenarios where teammates aren't around, and there are still plenty of those.

Yes, it was Botany’s one thing. It allowed a survivor to pair it with a First Aid Kit (yellow), with no other healing perks, and get two full self-heals out of 24 charges. It brought value to the Gauze Roll add-on, which adds 12 charges. If I want to heal others quickly, it’s going to be We’ll Make It for 100% faster healing or Circle of Healing so we can all heal ourselves.

Yeah, CoH and Botany will be a fast heal, but requires two slots. Which is fine. But this nerf kills any build that only featured Botany with a medkit.

The people who thought that are the ones who understood that even current Botany with medkits is obscene.
It's not being baselessly nerfed, it's being retooled to an altruistic healing perk. It'll still affect non-medkit self-healing avenues too, so it's far from killing the perk; it's still going to be really good.

@SekiSeki said:

Medkit efficiency should not exist with current medkits, that's that. Medkits should be nerfed but they are not going to be nerfed so they nerfed botany. It is balance, don't use medkits if you are running botany, that's the goal.

Please explain to me how Built to Last and Streetwise - perks that benefit all items (and in the case of Streetwise, even those of all nearby allies) - are going to be more beneficial than a perk that currently only helps medkits. And how the devs plan to get around someone using or acquiring a Camping Aid Kit or Emergency Medkit with only Botany Knowledge equipped being unable to fully self-heal. All they are doing is killing Botany (at the very least for solo players, who needed it the most in the light of the Self-Care nerf) - which was not even meta!

It is simply illogical to make a perk handicap the user. It’s why you never see No Mither. Why we’ll never see Calm Spirit - an already obscurely used perk itself. Autodidact. We could be here all day.

Yeah, Prob. it would be better to just disable botany for med kit heals? So you only get the extra speed for self care and healing others?

No, they should just remove these stupid nerfs from it and Calm Spirit - period. The definition of a perk: “an advantage or benefit following from a job or situation.” So why are so many survivor perks being turned into something that actually puts the user at a disadvantage? Who in their right mind thought it was ok for Botany to go from giving a 33% medkit efficiency, to not only removing it but adding a 20% medkit penalty to the perk user? The devs are sacrificing perk variety all in the name of shaking the meta - which is still going to result in mostly seeing the same 12 or so perks on each side at the end of the day anyway!

Stop nerfing fine perks out of existence, BHVR!
