I respectfully disagree

in Chapter Idea: STAR WARS Comment by Stridor January 15, 2023

So I was excited to see some of my other suggestions from over a year ago being implemented in game as fun new functions in game. So I figured, why not give out some more ideas to the Devs! I like to think I have a similar mindset to the Devs when making perks, so let's see!

A Year’s Worth of Perks II

SURVIVOR PERKS

1.) Breaking Focus

When interrupted during any action, the nearest hook automatically becomes sabotaged and will respawn after XX amount of seconds.

ALTERNATIVELY

Shifting Focus

When interrupted during any action, your wiggle meter will automatically fill XX%.

2.) Boon: Third Eye

When a killer is XX meters away from a boon totem, their aura is revealed to you.

3.) Sanguine Bond

While healing or being healed, the location of any survivors involved in the healing will have their aura revealed to all other survivors while the healing action is taking place as well as XX seconds after the action is complete.

4.) Spare Tools

Searches through Chests are XX% faster and the noises they cause along with their hearing distances are reduced by X metres. Toolshed guarantees an Engineer’s Toolbox on your first completed Chest search. If paired with Pharmacy, Pharmacy will activate upon searching the first box and Tool Shed will activate for the second Chest. Using Appraisal on any opened chest will not activate Tool Shed.

5.) Boon: Kicking & Screaming

Whenever you are downed, all hooks within xx meters of a boon totem become sabotaged and your wiggle speed is increased by XX%.

6.) Boon: Soothing Presence

When a survivor enters XX meters of a boon totem, recover from negative status effects faster by XX%.

7.) Headstrong

You start the trial with X tokens, each time you are challenged with a skill check while outside of the Killer’s terror radius, a token is spent on a Failed Skill Check to a Good Skill Check, a Good check to a Great check, and doubles the progression bonus of a Great Skill Check. Once the tokens are depleted, the perk deactivates.

8.) Just a Little Further

Once the Hatch has been opened, you gain the haste status effect and the sound of the hatch is increased by XX% for XX seconds.

9.) Exchanging Power

Once per match a survivor may take a fuse item out of a generator,fully regressing the generator. They can then install the fuse in any generator, providing XX% of the stored power inside of the fuse. The power inside the fuse quickly deteriorates over time, so the longer you hold onto it, the less energy you can transfer.

10.) You and Me, Pal

You see the auras of the last couple of survivors you’ve completed a generator with after working together for more than XX seconds. The effects are lost if either party is put into the dying state.

11.) Reinforced Barrier

Every XX seconds you are standing within the Killer's Terror Radius without being chased, Reinforced Wood gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of X Tokens. You may spend these tokens on downed pallets and breakable walls, taking XX seconds to give them the reinforced status effect. The killer’s first attempt to destroy the reinforced pallet or wall will instead result in a stun, then on the second attempt the wall or pallet will break normally. If the killer does not kick the pallet or wall after XX seconds, the reinforced effect goes away and the token is simply wasted. The Reinforced Pallet or Wall's aura will be shown to all survivors.

12.) Better Me Than You

Better Me Than You increases your chance of becoming the obsession.

If you are put into the dying state as a result of a protection hit, Better Me Than You activates. If the killer hooks you within XX seconds, you will be met with a difficult skill check. Succeeding will cause your hook progression to pause for XX seconds.

KILLER PERKS

1.) Overruled

The killer starts the trial with x amount of tokens, a killer can spend a token to block off any totem from being worked on for xx seconds. Once all tokens are used, the perk deactivates.

2.) Consequences

When a survivor sabotages a hook, the killer will become undetectable, with the terror radius being transferred to the sabotaging survivor for xx seconds.

3.) One Man's Trash

Picking up an item will cause the exposed status effect for XX seconds. Any survivor who picks up an item empty of charges, will begin screaming every XX seconds as long as they hold the empty item.

4.) Run, Don't Hide

While within a Killer's terror radius, survivors will give off a loud noise notification when medium or slow vaulting, Hide & Seek has a cool down of XX seconds.

5.) The End is Neigh

Once all generators are powered, the amount of time it takes for a survivor to be sacrificed on hook is decreased by x%, escape attempts are increased by x%, and penalty to failing to escape is increased by x%.

6.) Scourge Hook: Seeds of Distrust

When a survivor is hooked on a scourge hook, all survivors performing cooperative actions reveal their locations. When the survivor is unhooked, all survivors performing the repair action reveal their location and become exposed for XX seconds.

7.) Scourge Hook: Imprisonment

After a survivor rescues a fellow survivor off of a scourge hook, each window and pallet they vault over will become blocked for XX seconds or until any survivor takes damage.

8.) Splintered Pallet

After you are stunned by a Pallet, the pallet receives the Splintered status effect. When a survivor vaults over the pallet, they will become hindered and oblivious status effect for XX seconds. The killer is notified whenever any player interacts with a Splintered Pallet (Slow, medium, or fast vault). A Splintered Pallet appears as a normal pallet with Entity tendrils covering it to show all players it is Splintered.

9.) Aggravation

Each time a survivor escapes your grasp, you gain a token. For each token, all stun and blind times are decreased by XX% and kicked generators have an increased regression rate of XX%

10.) Vultures

Failing any skill check will cause a stillness crow to appear over the survivor's head, circling it and crowing loudly for XX seconds. This is stackable up to 3 crows.

**NEW PERK TYPE**

UNHOLY BOND

Upon healing a survivor for 1 health state, all survivors involved in the heal create an Unholy Bond. This would retroactively make Deathbound an Unholy Bond perk.

11.) Unholy Bond: Autophobia

When an Unholy Bound survivor is hit with a basic attack, their bound survivor will suffer from a Deep Wound with a short timer of X seconds. Upon mending they will return to their previous health state.

12.) Unholy Bond: Locked in Terror

When an Unholy Bound survivor is hooked, their bound survivor will be unable to save their bound partner for xx seconds.

Now that the Devs have mentioned the idea of boon totems, I thought I'd repost these perks I had posted a few months back. Let me know what you guys think of these. When I had made these, I originally called them Blessed Totems (which, in my humble opinion, is a better name than a Boon Totem)

Blessing: Ward of Persistence

Instead of cleansing the hex or dull totems, the survivor instead places a blessing on the totem at xx% the speed of cleansing, signified by a blue flame under the totem.

While a blessed totem is active, all team members can continue to perform actions while in the dying state at xx% speed while within xx m of the blessed totem. This includes Repairing, Healing, Sabotage, Unhooking, Cleansing, Exit Gate Opening, and Chest Unlocking.

The Killer can destroy the blessed totems if they find them, the same way they kick a gen or destroy a pallet.

Blessing: Confusion Charm

Instead of cleansing the hex or dull totems, the survivor instead places a blessing on the totem at xx% the speed of cleansing, signified by a blue flame under the totem.

While a blessed totem is active, the survivor no longer leaves scratch marks while in a chase with the killer within xx m of the blessing as well as receiving a speed boost of xx%.

The Killer can destroy the blessed totems if they find them, the same way they kick a gen or destroy a pallet.

Blessing: Live Feed

Instead of cleansing the hex or dull totems, the survivor instead places a blessing on the totem at xx% the speed of cleansing, signified by a blue flame under the totem.

While a blessed totem is active, the killer's aura will be revealed to the survivor once they are xx m away from the Blessed totem for xx seconds every xx seconds; however, the killer can also see your aura whenever you can see theirs.

The Killer can destroy the blessed totems if they find them, the same way they kick a gen or destroy a pallet.

Blessing: Swing Lock

Instead of cleansing the hex or dull totems, the survivor instead places a blessing on the totem at xx% the speed of cleansing, signified by a blue flame under the totem.

While a blessed totem is active, when grabbed from a locker or interrupted during an action, the closest hook automatically breaks for xx seconds.

The Killer can destroy the blessed totems if they find them, the same way they kick a gen or destroy a pallet.

-Enlightened Surveyor

The survivor destroys / blesses totems, giving them tokens. After looking at an objective at any time during the match, it becomes tracked.

Killer Perks:

I just thought of a killer who used to be a lawyer or something for this one.

While repairing a kicked gen, it is xx% more likely that a skill check will occur. When a skill check does occur, no great skill check zone will appear.

I'm running into this bug now if you ever found a solution

in Agitated Advantage archive challenge bugged Comment by Stridor December 19, 2020

My best way is to down someone, then instead of bringing the person to the hook, bring them to an objective and let them either break a totem or start on a gen.

Or walk up to a pallet while holding the survivor and hit it, showing at least the person you're holding what you're doing.

Generally, I'd do that then stick with that person until other survivors see what you're doing.

in How do you say "I want to Farm Bp" as Killer? Comment by Stridor December 6, 2020

You classify that ravenous sound as female? It sounds exactly like one of the crazed prisoners in Batman: Arkham Asylum so I don't think you can classify gender here.

As for whether or not the chapter is licensed there is no information saying it is/isn't like most killer releases.

Also don't all of the killers have demonic overtones in their voices? I'd describe it as animalistic not demonic.

@Umbrae_pk said:
As a survivor main.... this will not fix ANYTHING

Because the issue isn't on the survivor side, it's on the Killer's side. Gens can fly too fast in most games, this just gives some extra pressure at the beginning for the killers.

in Hey Devs, could we maybe get this implemented? Comment by Stridor February 13, 2020

No problem, respect for asking the community before going through with it though. Perma bans are no joke
