I agree he needs buffs ever since the MMR change i've realised his capability is quite limited and it makes him predictable.

Most balance suggestions on the forums are selfish and one sided and don't respect the devs reasoning for why changes were made in the first place. That's how i feel

I don't even consider this a challenging debate. The fact that you believe that killers SHOULD even inherently know where the survivor is on the map in, and of itself, tells me all I need to know about your mentality.
Ghostface for example is so broken that practically having a "Spider-sense" that does NOT allow a survivor to look at him without revealing their hiding spot makes him unreasonably unfair. Stealth that can cancel out aura-reading for survivors (not that survivors should have it either), speed, close hooks, "three-gening", etc. You name it the killer can do it.
So no... I don't think my statements are just a fact. They're a KNOWING, and apparently, you don't know.
Ghost face for example is so broken

What would pride cosmetics look like? Specifically.
Like just survivors with shirts with pride flags on them or survivors painted with pride colours.

I won't use it. I don't like the idea of blocking all gens for 12 seconds each time I hook a different survivor. It's strong but I don't like it. Worse yet, it has a synergy with DMS, that is quite overtuned.
I think the synergy with DMS needs to be addressed i don't think it's fair personally

I definately will change Pop on Grim Embrace in my builds and will enjoy chases without thinking about gen kicking at all. Great option for killers like me, who don't want to tunnel on 5 gens. We need more strong perks that support spreading hooks, and it's great first step to alternate tunneling playstyle.
I agree this is the probably the best incentive to not tunnel we've ever gotten. Better than old barbecue in my opinion.

@Yatol said:
It will only work if the survivor you hooked is still alive, otherwise you risk to get in scenarios where all survivor hide and you cant kick any gen.
This only applies to the effect that happens if all survivors get hooked though, you get the 12 seconds of all gens blocked after each unique hook
-
I really like the killer outfits (Trickster and Legion) just in general but i think their weapons are actually quite good for gameplay.
The legion outfit has a dagger and it's probably the most hitbox accurate weapon they have. Some players have described their hitbox being like a machete and this feels about right so a long dagger is the closest we got to that.
Trickster weapon is normal bat size. Not Bloated like that snake bat and not with accessories like his default bat. The colour doesn't stand out.
The collection really appeals to me in general it's colourful but dark and has unique designs on it.
It's really impressive how BHVR can collaborate with so many people so well.

Ah. I think I have a better understanding where your dead-set-ness on Distortion(players) being an issue comes from.
What you describe as the "incorrect" way to play with Distortion is not at all incorrect. Your proposed playstyle with Distortion is the egoistical, non-altruistic, rat-like playstyle; same category as playing for hatch the second survs don't have a massive headstart and refusing to hook trade or bodyblock for a death hook surv while you're fresh etc. pp.
More often than not letting yourself be found via a non-Distortion user is the right play, especially when you are healthy; e.g. if that non-Distortion user isn't healed up yet and would be down way too fast. - You know what is coming and you know where it's coming from. Distortion allows you to be in the perfect position to e.g. bodyblock for the injured survivor - or better yet: run toward the killer to take chase. Chances are they go for the uninjured surv they have eyes on instead of the injured one who is who knows where.
I think it's incorrect because that commenter is complaining they are still getting found with distortion and i am saying that's happening because if they stick with team mates that is going to happen, i think they are not using it correctly for the purpose they want.
There isn't a "right" way to play the game, devs have validated lone wolf playstyles, you're disrespectful by insulting that.

Then you must really suck at chases, like REALLY suck if whole stacks are being regenerated in chase, but you're in chase anyway so distortion at that point doesn't matter
It's the other way around. If a survivor cannot last more than 30 seconds in chase then they are the ones who are playing bad. Only way to get such short chases is nurse or blight or whatever

What??? Oni and Plague with aura builds absolutely SHRED distortion have you not event played them? Gearhead alone too and undying RIPS through tokens before a survivor can finish a single totem, aura plague triggers the perk every time a survivor vomits and with healing shut down it's already that much easy tracking them because they need to go around the map to fountains away from the killer or risk being punished.
To add to this, All seeing Wraith and Meyers scratched mirror or rather both these killers without aura reading make it a dead perk anyway because their terror radius is so infrequent that charging the damn thing is near impossible against a good stealth killer hell Onryu too isn't bothered by distortion. Artist can toss her crows artist and Legion both don't need to worry about distortion along with doctor because their kit isn't countered by it at all, Dredge too. These are all examples from the top of my head of killers and perks that just trivialise distortion. There are a slew of killer perks too that track as well without the need for aura reading. Just run whispers if you're worried about your terror radius charging the perk.
They really don't. Small terror radius doesn't matter because the perk charges in chase. Whispers is not a good counter, you can't make progress without a survivor being in your terror radius.

"Boon: Illumination is more a shared planner to help SoloQ. Being able to see all Generators on the map as well as Chests will be good for tactical planning. Not sure it has much use for SWF, but it's a good Boon for newer players and for those who want more shared info in SoloQ."
Is it the whole map or just in the range of the Boon?
If you mean the reveal range on gens and chest. If you are in the boon it reveals all gens on the map and chests

Kinda surprised at the reactions. I guess this is going to end up being a pretty niche chapter. But, i think for the people that want it, it is really good.

we are looking at some other ways, streams will likely be just for main releases like we did with Chucky
Looking at possibly recording the Discord Staging Event and uploading it to YouTube afterwards so that more players can get the information etc. But of course that won't be live on YouTube then, just a video.
There's no plans at the moment to reintroduce Q&A streams.
That sounds good i would love the watch them as videos. Thank you for the response

I reckon it's part of streamlining the dlcs. They want to make the amount of options less overwhelming and i guess removing these old dlcs are part of that.
I can kind of understand why they would do that since they are very old and i didn't see many people use them anyway but making the cosmetics exclusive i heavily dislike so i hope they restore them or add them to the in game store.

Omg it's really happening 😊

I'm really excited. I think he's such a cool fit for dead by daylight. The perks are as interesting as i hoped. The voice actor is great and the model looks pretty good.
I think it's great that dbd added content from a recently released game. Alan Wake 2 only released last november so they must have been working on this before release which is cool. The game is also going to get expansions this year so it came out at a great time.

It isn't a nerf it's a rebalance. They increased the range but decreased the repair speed at the same time. That's a buff and a nerf.

They use legion a lot of nowadays in the promo material.

I prefer the rework devs came up with tbh but i liked this idea before that.
Killers need more options against blinding right now so making shadowborn an alternate version of lightborn actually makes a lot of sense, i could see it having a decent amount of use.

Yep, this happens to me all the time. If I'm healing someone and it goes off, I'm found. If I'm on a generator with someone and it goes off, they come and find me. And that's fine, I like taking chase.
If killer isn't using aura perks, it's a wasted perk slot.
It's useful if we've lost and I'm the last alive I guess, I get a few seconds to find the hatch lol yippy skippy. Sometimes when they kick the gen they can't find me.
It gives me info on what the killer is running. If they run BBQ I can get in a locker. It's a decent counter to Chuckys perk too.
Tbh the best killers I go against oddly run no aura perks, those are the fun ones! Very skilled and fun to loop with. Idk, just my experiences.
Leave it alone, all my favorite non meta perks already been turned into dog water, just leave this one alone.
I think you are using the perk incorrectly to be honest. You're obviously going to be found if you are with someone when it goes off, because they will see the person that's not revealed and then they will see you. If you run as soon as you counter something like BBQ and chili the killer won't know that you were there.
If the killer isn't using aura reading that is still information you wouldn't get if you didn't have it. Aura reading is very abundant and popular also so if the killer isn't aura reading then maybe it's because they decided like me that distortion comes out on top anyways and it's not worth using.
Distortion is meta it is top 10 most used perk.

@PyramidFootLicker said:
Just run gearhead or undying omg or any other killer perk that can reveal survivors without the need for aura reading or play legion or aura plague and Oni or all seeing wraith if you HAVE to have auras. Distortion is countered by so much and you can track very easily without needing auras all generators are always revealed to you which is the prime objective anyway regardless of how much a survivor hides.
People hiding in DBD especially on lockers which block aura reading has been a thing long before distortion was around as well.
Gearhead and Undying both reveal survivor auras. Aura plague doesn't counter distortion, neither does that oni add-on, neither does that purple add-on for wraith.
"Distortion is countered by so much" No, if a survivor has distortion, you can't bypass the perk and read their aura anyways. This is exactly the problem i have with it. If you know a survivor has distortion, you won't be able to read their aura.
I never complained about survivors hiding in lockers to hide their aura.

Distortion is not as powerful as you make it seem. As a killer player myself most of you rely on aura reading far too much with very little skill displayed. Killers have far too many options already as it is) to overcome just about everything that survivors can do. The matching mechanic is already set so the algorithm matches survivors with killers that have perks that will trump the survivor's loadout. If you have Sprint Burst, you will be pitted against an exhaustion killer using Mindbreaker/fearmonger. Survivor has distortion on so the killer makes them scream.
It isn't Distortion that's the problem. It's the lack of imagination and resourcefulness exhibited by players. Everybody wants to have Lethal Pursuer in their loadout because they fail to know the inner workings of how the game positions survivors. You all want that headstart to survivors before they start working gens. This is a player problem, not a perk problem.
So let's not act like you don't have the advantage in most cases. You sound like you just want it all. Killers don't need anything else. The players using them need to get better. Most of the community can't play, and the autonomy at the killer's disposal to be nice or not, or to play well or not is more often than not a survivor's only saving grace even against some SWFs.
Think about it: You're complaining that YOU can't see the survivors through walls and objects so you can have a cake-walk match. I bet you 3 out of 4 of your killer load-outs are aura-reading perks because you may be a lazy killer. The majority of the community is like this and this is what makes for weak killers that have to resort to tunneling, camping, and cheap perks like opening lockers to make surrounding survivors scream. Let's not forget that if a player uses NO MITHER the killer is notified that this perk is being used. Is that unfair? A killer knows a survivor is using Light Weight. Is that unfair?
This game is all about giving out information to the players. It's a pay-to-win game. This is why the featured popular cameo characters have perks that are better and behind a paywall. There are also only 4 slots for perks on all survivors so what if they have to waste one of their slots on Distortion? There is always something else the killer has to overcome this minor disadvantage.
Yet another commenter who throws their disrespectful assumptions out as fact.
The matching mechanic is already set so the algorithm matches survivors with killers that have perks that will trump the survivor's loadout
No it isn't.
Everybody wants to have Lethal Pursuer in their loadout because they fail to know the inner workings of how the game positions survivors. You all want that headstart to survivors before they start working gens.
It's random where survivors spawn. And of course we want a perk to actually do something instead of being completely nullified and turned into a disadvantage!
So let's not act like you don't have the advantage in most cases. You sound like you just want it all. Killers don't need anything else. The players using them need to get better. Most of the community can't play, and the autonomy at the killer's disposal to be nice or not, or to play well or not is more often than not a survivor's only saving grace even against some SWFs.
Don't agree with any of that.
Think about it: You're complaining that YOU can't see the survivors through walls and objects so you can have a cake-walk match.
No i didn't. I'm complaing that distortion nullifies a large portion of killer items and even punishes you for bringing them. My loadouts aren't aura reading anymore because distortion comes out on top and i wish it wasn't like that so that's why i made this post.
Let's not forget that if a player uses NO MITHER the killer is notified that this perk is being used. Is that unfair? A killer knows a survivor is using Light Weight. Is that unfair?
Killers are designed to have more information about the survivors than the other way around. This starts in the lobby when you can see what items they have i think it's fine.
Killers don't actually have any perks that HARD counter survivor perks like distortion does to aura reading. Fearmonger arguably makes it easier 99 things like sprint burst. Killer counters just make it less effective and harder to use and distortion should be the same.
You keep saying aura reading makes everything easy and it doesn't. Aura reading helps you find survivors, it doesn't help you catch the survivors and it doesn't stop the survivors from doing anything.

@Peanits said:
To clarify, while a Survivor is repairing a generator that has been damaged, the generator does not continue to lose progress (it is paused while a Survivor is repairing it). It will only begin to regress again if they let go before completing 5% worth of repairs. In light of that, Pain Resonance is unaffected by this change.
How does this new change interact with Trail of torment? Do survivors need to repair 5% to remove undetectable

There is a chance it's still happening and maybe they just didn't put in the dev update because it was getting too long. Otherwise it's probably just delayed i guess

Ruin won't count as an regression event this is confirmed by Peanits.
Jolt will but i don't really see the problem. If you have 8 downs that means at that point you could have 2 kills. It's unlikely all 8 of your downs will affect the same generators as well.
