I actually have 81% of them all.
which is quite a lot... still missing a few adepts, everything involving the characters I don't own, the "you should play trickster and lacerate like 20 or 50 people" which I really don't wanna do...
repairing the rcpd gen and escaping, which I have yet to do both of these...it's annoying.
and the abomination that is console skilled huntress...
but I did unlock this today

which reads, "with the singularity, hurt or down 3 survivors that are slowed down" (forgot the english name for the effect that makes survivors move slower).

apparently 0.3% of players have the platinum trophy for dbd.

You must be REALLY good with Singularity :P

The conversation is circular because your smoking gun is a window that may or may not be closed, but hey, it's not like there's a billion pallets in the map or those infamous L-T Walls, or all those guaranteed long loops that are just pain for killers. General map knowledge gives you 99% of the information Windows gives you with the only exception being the few Windows that may or may not be open.
Come back with an actual smoking gun, instead of a water pistol. WoO is not responsible for bad map design.

Ah, the WoO gaslighting with the fallback on map design.

I don't recall mentioning map design at all in my arguments - just WoO's current effect on the game in its current form.

I'll just go back to my WoO and continue to succeed using the PERFECT information it provides instead of ignoring the reality of the perk, its popularity, and its usage in high end teams (solo or not) - It's clear there is, per usual, no real discussion to be had.

Everything's an insult, and everything's a put down.

In my 1400 hours of playing, I've seen very few windows that change due to RNG. Ormond comes to mind with the vault into main (where the basement stairs would be) is blocked if basement spawned in shack. Not hugely impactful unless you're running balanced landing.
Excluding Windows that will either be open or closed, window locations are static and determined only by the type of tile that spawned. Jungle gyms will always have a window and a pallet, for instance while pallet gyms (Long C-shaped wall with a short I-shaped wall) will only contain a pallet.
As for pallets, they have fixed locations and will either spawn in one spot or in a different spot a very short distance away. Ormond's Balcony Pallet will either spawn on the outdoor stairs side, or it'll spawn on the indoor stairs side. Similarly, there'll either be a pallet between the couches next to basement in main, or it'll be near the fireplace. It'll never not spawn.
With enough knowledge of maps and tile spawns, you basically have WoO built-in. As I've said, the strength of the perk is not in knowing what spawned where. It's in knowing what resources you still have available. You can always change your loadout to counter it if it's giving you that much grief. It's an aura reading perk, and like all aura reading perks, it's affected by blindness.

"Excluding Windows that will either be open or closed, window locations are static and determined only by the type of tile that spawned."

Windows does not give me grief - I use it in my main build.

I'll just bow out as the conversation is circular.

Like the user name :3

I have all the hard stuff, but don't really care to get the rest / will get them as they proc naturally.

Personally, I just like to make sure I get all the tome/rift stuff done. It's usually not too bad (always a few groaners per tome) and I generally play pretty chill.

Not that window spawns are particularly unpredictable either. People act like WoO is guiding people to pallets and vaults when anyone with sufficient map knowledge can do the same.

Is there way to know a window is open without seeing it? I'd add it to my arsenal if you share.

It also guides me to pallets and vaults without thinking about the map at all.

If I'm the first person chased, the killer usually has to drop chase or loses a crazy amount of time and, often, the game.

If I'm not the first person chased, I get enough knowledge about what is used/remains in order to chain enough stuff together to burn a decent chunk of time.

People really like to downplay WoO when it provides PERFECT information. There's no guesswork, no wondering if there will be a pallet/open window - The information is 100% accurate and in your face at all times.

Again, why are we having this argument?
Can't they just go "I wish the weaker killers got buffed" and that be enough? Why the need for detailed explanations on this?
Do I really need to have the better option planned out before saying "we should improve X"?
What's your goal here? Just to go "still not as strong as wesker!!!" After whatever suggestion?
But to actually answer, I would give all his traps to him basekit.(I believe max is 8...)
thick grass or equivalent spawning on every map when you play trapper, basically everywhere, with the color of the traps almost matching it to camouflage.
You no longer step on your own traps. They just get disarmed if you do.
Picking a survivor from a trap resets it.
Escaping from a trap now takes a set amount of time, let's say 30 seconds base. 20 if another survivor is saving you.
Trapper can recall disarmed traps from anywhere by looking at them and pressing the ability button (Think thor and mjolnir). If he holds it for a bit, all the disarmed get recalled but takes a bit longer. (As in, more time than pulling 2 one at a time, but starting at 3 it's faster)
Change bag add-ons to affect the time it takes to escape the trap.
Maybe other add-ons would also need change but they aren't coming to me rn.
And there. Trapper is much better while still remaining an easy character to understand for new players (which is important to trapper in particular).
You do not need to walk around to pick your power accross the map, the traps can be hidden in more than 4 or 5 maps, no more trap rng(which makes things simpler), and you don't need to go back to collect or reset old traps.
But only the disarmed ones, if you put a bad trap in the corner and no one interacted with it, that's on you.
Don't know if it reached wesker but I think it reached a good point.

It is very important to be contrarian and make people feel small on the DBD Forums, of course!

If you haven't watched the Hens vs Otz 1v1 video, I recommend you do so. Hens didn't run WoO, but it still took Otz a minimum of 1:52 to get his first hit on Hens, and that was purely due to Hens making a mistake. Map was Garden of Pain.
You don't need WoO to know where pallets are on maps like Garden, Gideon, Ormond, Coldwind, Autohaven. On Gas Heaven, I know that there's a pallet inside the shop section of main, and another pallet in the garage section. I know there is a pallet either adjacent to the fuel bowsers, or over near the window. I know there's a pallet at killer shack.
On Ormond, I know there are three pallets inside main. A pallet by the snow tractor. A pallet on the balcony. A pallet between the rocks on the way to shack from the snow tractor. I don't know every pallet location, but I know enough to make it hell for the killer even without WoO.
The strength of Windows lies in the fact that you know which pallets have been used so you can avoid deadzones. I just don't get how y'all think Windows is a problem when pallet spawns are static enough that you never really need to question if it's there or not.

It also shows you where the window spawns are without having to physically see them, SWF or not.

this will forever be etched into me, my boyfriend smiled for the first time, or somewhat of a genuine smile, me and my bf usually enjoy dbd together where we both have a great time connecting and having fun. My boyfriend is naturally good-looking; and I'm not just saying that out of kindness- his appearance is genuinely striking. However, due to a past insecurity about his teeth (which have some stains and lines from not having a toothbrush during 2 ish years) he's been quite self-conscious about smiling. This has been his only insecurity, which greatly affects how badly hes insecure about it
He usually hides his smiles and I can't recall a single instance of him fully smiling without covering his mouth with his hand. During one of our gaming matches we encountered a mid huntress in the game. Long story short- we managed to make it to the endgame only to find out that the killer was using noed… Teammates cleansed the perk and left, but dealing with a hatchet camping huntress proved to be impossible to win against. Despite my best efforts to save him(i just accepted the trade, didnt even try to fight back 😭 ) I ended up getting hit by a hatchet and was abt to be traded 😞
Then, something incredible happened. My boyfriend executed an astonishing flashlight save at a near-impossible angle (not even i could hit it 😭). we sprinted towards the exit gates. And amazied i used the dead perk dead hard to take a hit, we were both laughing and having a great time when we made it to the exit gates. I attempted to repeatedly blind the killer, not realizing that it was causing my mending progress to rapidly decrease. we know how this goes. I dont mend in time and get knocked, and in that moment, both of us burst into genuine tears. Unfortunately he left me behind in the game, but what struck me was the HUGEEE smile on his face. It made me incredibly happy to witness such a heartfelt mood he gave and I'm grateful to have him as my boyfriend.
yeah, half the time my posts are just complaining about the game, but this one means the most to me

We do not ban for this. When in the dying state, you eventually bleed out and the match will end. There's too much uncertainty for this to be a bannable offense (e.g. Is there even a hook nearby for the Killer to use? What if the Killer is strategically not picking someone up in case a Survivor has Unbreakable and is waiting for the opportunity to get up and save the others?).

I made a bunch of posts in 2022/early 2023 about WoO becoming problematic/being more than a learning tool as it started to carry me a lot in Solo Queue.

The time to address it is long gone, however - Adding a cooldown (except a crazy lengthy one) is irrelevant as most people will be able to retain the information until the perk 'flashes on' again.
