The same people running around saying Spirit was unfair are the ones who also see no issue with Dead Hard, Iron Will, old DS, old object, and don't see how those are unfair and how survivors have more unfair tools at their leisure than almost any killer does.

I think old DS and old Object were incredibly unfair. I think Dead Hard can be too strong in circumstances, and I'm fine with Iron Will. Not with how it interacts with the buggy sound of this game, but the idea of Iron Will is fine.

Spirit was unfair.

Sound is always bugged. Whenever you manage to hear her footsteps in a new patch, a hotfix comes out within a week that bugs it out again. Every time.

I legitimately cannot remember the last time sound was not bugged.

Though seeing the devs are changing add-ons for some killers (including Hag) makes me very excited 😁😁

I hope the Add-On changes are:

"Whoops, we deleted her."

I wonder how @TheGannMan feels about these changes...

in I’m not easy to impress but Comment by NomiNomad September 23, 2021

You can hear the footsteps if you're paying attention.

This change just makes both sides have audio, with only minor visual feedback.

Spirit: Can hear the survivors breathing and steps, and see scratch marks (or see blood with Father's glasses, unless that is an add-on changed.) I can agree that this will make Iron Will too strong against her, but only because Iron Will seems to bug out and silence breathing too. Which it isn't supposed to do.

Survivors: Now hear a directional phase, and kicks up dust.

Yeah it finally feels like an update might actually go through without any major gameplay issues or balance issues

I'm going to have to see what happens when it comes out. It definitely looks nice on paper, but who knows if they can apply it to the product.

I'm guessing Monday we get the introduction of Boon Totems, since, well, they pretty much confirmed in the post itself. I'm really hoping the Key and Mori changes come along with this, just so everybody will shut up about them. But, this is already a pretty good amount of stuff, so I'm not super expecting it.

I'm also expecting a meltdown about Spirit over the next few weeks and especially when the mid-chapter comes out. So yay.

in I’m not easy to impress but Comment by NomiNomad September 23, 2021

Scarecrow is the obvious choice for DC, but I also think they could spin a legendary skin for Clown to Joker (If they did legendary skins for killers anymore, or whatever the hell they call them now.)

in The only way I could see boon totems being balanced Comment by NomiNomad September 23, 2021

Am I the only one that thinks Boon totems won't affect the entire game, still? Especially if their perks? I really think they will only affect the one survivor. I could be wrong though, who knows.

I just really doubt they will be anything as powerful as mitigate regression. I could easily be wrong though.

in The only way I could see boon totems being balanced Comment by NomiNomad September 23, 2021

I think this goes back as far as any multiplayer game. A lot of people have this self defense mechanism. If they're losing, it isn't their fault. That would feel #########. So it's easier to blame your opponent. They were just being a tryhard, they were cheating, they were using an overpowered thing.

Influencers tend to make this worse because they're loud and they have an audience. A Killer main will watch a Killer main streamer and if that streamer has a bad match, he blames the game for being Survivor-sided or SWF. A Survivor main will watch a Survivor main streamer, and if they die, it's because killers are overpowered or they camped and tunnelled. Those people parrot those opinions because people put a lot of value onto these streamers. This isn't every streamer or creator, of course.

I sincerely doubt a good portion of people even know what META means, just that it's tied to powerful perks. A lot of Survivor only players don't seem to know what camping nor tunnelling is, and a lot of Killer only players probably don't know how to loop. They would of course claim they do. This is an endless recycle that repeats with every game, just in different ways.

I don't want to turn this into a Wraith discussion (not that I'm saying you are, I'm the one who brought him up) but just to address your comment it's really a matter of him being too easy to use, too many abilities that work too well together, too few ways to counter them (the arguments are always "use flashlights, run spine chill, loop constantly, play with headphones, and be by windows at all times, which is frankly kind of ridiculous to expect out of anybody to reasonably defend against a single killer). Wraith games are cheap. Run up while invisible, turbo uncloak (often while silent), super lunge for free hit, rinse, wash, repeat. How anyone doesn't at least consider the possibility that this is cheap is beyond me, but as you said, different experiences. Everyone hates the Nurse, I enjoy facing her. :)

I don't either, I'm tired of seeing them. And all I can say in response is, yeah, different experiences. I have an easy time against Wraith, so I don't get the hate. I get the hate for the Hit and Run playstyle, but I think his basekit is fine. At the end of the day, it matters only what BHVR think. If they are happy with him, he's probably going to stay the way he is for a very, very long time.

More onto the actual discussion:

I can't remember every single add-on, so I'll just talk about the ones I remember.

Wraith: I would actually get rid of Silent Bell and All Seeing - Blood, I think they're too strong at the moment.

Cenobite: what the ######### with Engineer's Fang. I can't believe we went from Nemesis' garbage Iri add-ons to Cenobite's.

Michael: Definitely Tombstone Piece and Fragrant Tuft.

Nurse: Double fatigue and double range.

Oni: I still have no idea why Top-Knot is still in the game.

Survivor: I don't really have an issue with any add-ons at the moment. Part of me wants to say Styptic but that's only because I've gone against them a lot recently and it's really starting to irritate me. And, just, everything with keys. But if they really are getting reworked, I'm really, really hoping that just removes them from the blood-web. Get rid of some of the fluff. Same with Mori's.

@miketheratguy said:
I try not to play Wraith because I feel cheap and disrespectful to survivors when I do (I'm serious, that's how far it's come) so I don't know how much of his kit is base and how much of it is add-ons, perks and everything else. All I know is that I don't feel that he should be invisible, AND super fast while invisible, AND be able to see where everyone and everything is while invisible, AND be able to go in and out of invisibility within the span of two seconds, AND do it in complete silence, AND have a super lunge every time he does, AND be able to use all of the above with absolutely no cooldown or compensatory punishment whatsoever. I'm surprised that they haven't just taken him to his logical conclusion and given him a gun yet.
Er, I mean, "he's fine, he's barely C-tier. I'm just mad because I can't "bully him anymore".

I'm surprised that they haven't just taken him to his logical conclusion and given him a gun yet.

Because BHVR typically balance by stats. If their stats say he's fine, by their metrics, they will not touch him.

If he wrecks lower ranks, like most killers do, but doesn't perform as well at higher SBMM, they won't care. And I doubt we will ever see the stats soon, so we don't know what their data is with him. We probably won't for a good long while, if ever.

I'm still at the point where I am baffled anybody has trouble against Wrath, he's still one of the easiest killers to against for me. But that's just differing experiences.

in Which addons should be nerfed in your opinion? Comment by NomiNomad September 22, 2021

Ranks now have no indication of skill anymore. They literally mean nothing when it comes to matchmaking.

Slinger's shots cause the deep wounds state when he either hits you or makes you snap the chain.

Slinger doesn't cause deep wounds if he doesn't hit you with his lunge. This also means you don't get the speed boost.

to my knowledge Legion doesn't have anything going for them. i have no clue why i like this killer other than their look and backstory--i kinda wish they would be reworked so they matched their killer trailer more. i really thought theyd have some kinda power that made them look like a survivor. i mean if wraith can cloak to be invisible, but not attack, why cant legion cloak to look like a survivor and not attack or something

Legion was broken on his (their?) start. Literally damn near killed the game. After a good while of that, BHVR nerfed them into the ground and refuse to give them any of the buffs they kind of need at this point.

Yes it is capitalism, if you lose trust from your client base and there are plenty of other legitimate reasons why this is happening with this "product", you start to lose consumers. This one is a simple fix, tell us what is happening (even after you fix it).
"BHVR doesnt have to tell us anything". In capitalism that's not true. They have to tell us what we demand to know given a large enough population care to know that it effect their bottom line. Its whatever the market will bear. That's the true double edged sword of capitalism.

BHVR has the monopoly on asymmetric horror games. They know this- Which is why they continue to ######### up. As long as this is the case, they don't have to worry about consumerism. You really think the last few chapters would come out in the state they did if they cared about consumers?

They don't have to tell us because not enough people care. As proven by DeadByBoycott. This forum alone has a very small percentile of the player-base. Unless the majority shows people care about the voicelines, BHVR has to say nothing. If they even can say anything.

in Bring back cenobites voicelines Comment by NomiNomad September 21, 2021

If they run and you don't have a TR, it's pretty safe to assume they have Spine Chill. Or maybe Premonition, but imo that perk is nowhere near as good as Spine Chill.

Other than that, no. With passive Survivor perks like that you just have to guess.

in Spine chill... Comment by NomiNomad September 21, 2021

Standing still isn't a mindgame, it's being lazy. Regardless, a Spirit with a few hundred hours can just as easily win a match as a Nurse with thousands of hours because unlike Nurse, who takes nearly a thousand hours to master, Spirit can be picked up and mastered in a few days.

I am by no means a fan of Spirit, but Nurse taking "Thousands of hours to master" is ridiculous.
