On the rank you are, it isnt as hard as some people may lead you to think. You just have to be a quite entertaining killer. I caught a huntress trying to get adept recently that camped each hook. She obviously wouldnt get the adept achievement like that.

With that amount of time, GF would be able to cheese out of detection too easily and make it impossible to detect him prior to one shotting the survivor I think.

He ment "baby" as in "new". As for the rest of this nonsense, if you want a good character, grind or GTFO. This is the same lazy crap I see in literally EVERY THREAD. You're playing a game ment to be difficult. The devs aren't here to hold your hand.

They kind of are in this one when it affects the time and motivation that a person spends in the game.

Although some people try to say that Ghostface is the new Freddy, Freddy has long lost his throne to Legion. I only see one benefit from his ability which is to get a first hit, and even that might prove impossible versus a skilled survivor that knows how to loop him. You are better off just use M1 the majority of the game really.

Let's compare with the WCS we had before the Bloodweb rework (which happened in-between Chapters II and III).
We had 5 Killers and 6 Survivors at that time, which adds 33 (15+18) Teachable Perks to 25 (11+14) regular Perks at that time.
For Survivors, this amounted to a total of 32 Perks or 96 Perk Tiers.
For Killers, this amounted to a total of 26 Perks or 78 Perk Tiers.
So in order to get every single Perk on a Character with the original Bloodweb, you had to level your Killer 78 and your Survivor 96 times, and from level 30 onwards, the Bloodweb filled every single node (30 nodes total).
Assuming that the Entity ate on average about a third of a Bloodweb, that still left you with a Bloodweb that would cost about 116,000 Bloodpoints to complete from level 30 onwards.
"Funnily" enough, with the changes the devs made to it, the grind remained the same for up to level 30, comparing the old and the new Bloodweb, about 1 Million.
Oh, and don't forget to add 3 maxed Bloodwebs to also get the Teachables unlocked first.
All in all, it cost you approximately 7 Million Bloodpoints to get all Perks to Tier III on a Killer and approximately 9 Million Bloodpoints to do so on a Survivor, totalling up to a staggering 89 Million Bloodpoints in order to max out every single Character back then.
Nowadays, the average high-level Bloodweb costs about 50-70k Bloodpoints, so let's take 60k as the average.
We have 16 Killers and 17 Survivors, 60 Killer Perks and 65 Survivor Perks.
Adjusting the calculations accordingly, we get the following results:
Cost to max a Killer: ~10 Million
Cost to max a Survivor: ~11 Million
Cost to max all Characters: ~347 Million Bloodpoints.
All in all, the grind has gotten worse by now, because it's already been more than 1.5 years since the devs last adjusted the Bloodweb economy (happened with 1.8.2). Originally, the grind was greatly reduced, but way too much content has been added since then.
Yes, this disregards Blood Hunts (which we didn't have originally), Events, BBQ and WGLF, but those should not be fixes to this problem anyways.

Thank you for adding the numbers @DocOctober. I believe it was also from your post that I took the quote from Peanits.

EDIT: My bad, it was another person with the same avatar.

You think the grind is insane NOW?
Oh man, you have it easy now, friend. Drive a DeLorean back to 2016, and tell me how "hard" it is now. It's so funny when you baby players comp
And no, they won't sell bloodpoints. That would be pay to win.

I'm not going to compare with 2016 since it does not seem relevant for this discussion. Was the grinding in 2016 too much? Probably. Right now, it still is and it is getting worse with every update with the addition of new perks. That is why there are more calls for there to be a rework of the current mechanism around the bloodweb. In terms of new players, which every game should aim towards, this is a big obstacle that must be surpassed in order to pull you into playing it regularly.

I mean, the devs can see that nobody plays Plague, so they're gonna change her soon I guess.
Clown is a good Chaser but not a very good gen protector. I use Ruin with the new Pop goes the Weasel and I think he can be a dangerous Killer with those Perks.
My personal build would be:
Hex: Ruin
Hex: Haunted Ground
Surveillance
Pop goes the Weasel
He doesn't really need anti loop Perks since his whole power is an anti loop. Use the right addons and you'll win with this build.

Last time I heard the devs talking about her in this forum they said that the Plague was getting the highest amount of kills per game out of every other killer. Not so sure they will change her any time soon.

@FrenziedRoach said:
Before you discount my idea entirely, you need to keep in mind we started this game with 4 killers and 4 survivors. The perk pool has grown considerably since those days.
I don't think it's out of the question to drop it that much, especially considering that the first drop they did for us in the bloodwebs reduced the cost per node AND reduced the number of nodes that could spawn.
Our bloodwebs used to fill every single node at 50 and we would spend as much as 10k for the stuff on the outer edge.
Every extra survivor and killer is 9 more levels of grinding that has to be done. While that's not bad for people like me who are only a couple chapters behind, that's crazy insane for anybody who's coming to this late when you stop and consider how many killers and survivors we have.
In B4 they start selling us bloodpoints/perks for Auric Cells - calling it now.

I doubt they will sell perks for Auric Cells. Bloodpoints for Auric Cells have been requested several times and they refused to do so, so I also don't believe we will see that happening. I'm just excited to see what they will come up with as long as it reduces this insane amount of grinding. I want to try new builds and so, but I lose motivation as soon as I see how much I have to invest in each character to get the needed perks (I have all teachables unlocked for killer).

We definitely are. We've been keeping track of all the feedback surrounding the grind for a while now and I am happy to say that we are actively looking into it at this point.

Peanits confirmed in another forum post that they are actively looking into it.

This is so ridiculous. Why are so many people here pointing out his mistakes (even when he played pretty well) which he did ofc but not that game lasted for 7 minutes ? That's so incredibly short.
This is pretty good example of the problem with how gens are done too fast when survivors don't fool around. 1 mistakes can cost you the game as killer. Survivor does 10 of them and still has more then decent chance to win but yes let's rather blame killer for not beiing good enough since that's definitely the case.

Fairly good point.

Yes, cutting the grind in half will only make it worse.
Makes perfect sense.

My logic is the same presented by Redd. It is not hard to understand if you think about it a little, instead of writting a sarcastic reply.
