He also has the ability to shock everyone around him at the same time to see where everyone is at. It's so annoying, I could be I unspotted the entire game and be doing gens but he can still find me in seconds because of that stupid power.

That doesn't matter if he has zero answers to loops. The ability to restrict certain movements by shocking them is the thing that makes Doc.

I know you're joking (I hope) - but in the context of DBD, it would be nonsense. With the amount of game breaking bugs (such as the stuck in healing animation bug that has existed for almost a year, that forces you to DC because even EGC doesn't kill you), or just random server disconnects etc.
We are talking about DBD here. A game that isn't nearly stable enough to have a system that will punish you for DCing even if it's not your fault.

For DBD specifically, it's only an issue because of the bugs, glitches, etc. Beyond that, I'm for penalties ramping up to that point.

Nothing can or should be done to punish suicide on hook. But I do think there should be a mechanic to reward survivors for sticking around. You know.. a carrot instead of a stick.

Only if the carrot on the stick is labeled "if you get this, you won't be punished." Punish the ones who don't get that reward. ;)

Alright. But iirc the artist did intend the mask to face expressions, and as it is just an image overlay the code from before is valid, and it has been shown it's perfectly possible to do what the devs denied is possible in the Q&A. that's why people are upset.
It's really just following the same pattern of code as the bits calling for certain sounds (for example, grunting when pallet-stunned. It should be a simple additional if-event calling for a change of texture to the head-piece.

"But iirc the artist did intend the mask to face expressions"

Obviously.

"the code from before is valid"

The "code from before" is just a hypothetical statement. It's not the actual code of the game.

"It should be a simple additional if-event calling for a change of texture to the head-piece."

That's an assumption.

Even if that were the reason, the fact that it'd be bloody simple to code in stands.
I mean, it's not just oni. it's the code for EVERYTHING ingame that changes appearance depending on an event:
exploding gens, lit totems etc.
code, no matter how spaghetti is always a bunch of Ifs and Elses.
Tag, if you like I can link you to a lovely little indie-publisher that offers a basic coding language for one to program their own text-based multiple-choice games. sure, it's not graphics, but to give you a feel of how programming works.

Doesn't mean it's simple to just retroactively add that in to a character who was not designed to be able to contextually change their appearance on the fly.

Also, I've already had some experience with programming in the past. Not a whole lot, but some.

I mean, the algorithm is universal and is so simple that it would work if implemented on any programming language. They can literally just copy and paste the algorithm they use for Oni, change the variables a bit and it would work just fine. Trust me, Oni's power has nothing to do with the way the cosmetic algorithm works. It's literally just an if else statement.
And if it IS difficult to implement (or in other words, if the code is made out of literal spaghetti by a high school student), I doubt it would be much of a problem for a company that hires professional programmers, now would it?

"They can literally just copy and paste the algorithm they use for Oni, change the variables a bit and it would work just fine."

I see no reason to assume it would be that simple. "Flawless made up code" isn't going to make that convincing.

Frankly, I couldn't care less if you believe me or not since you don't care about facts. Multiple people that are programmers told you that IT IS that simple. How can you insist it isn't when you have no clue about programming is beyond me. What are you basing your opinion on? What knowledge?
That's how this discussion went:
1.Someone tells you it is extremely simple.
2.You say "but what if it isn't" without providing any arguments. Just "what if it isn't".
3.Someone else tells you it is that simple and provides pseudocode and the steps needed to do it.
4.You repeat step 2.
And so on.
Do you honestly believe we are all idiots or have some hidden agenda? Do we win a prize if we manage to trick you?
LMAO have some common sense please.

Pseudo code does not carry any merit unless it is actually based on something. Anyone can make it look simple if you present it in pseudo code.

"If (PalletStun) = True

Set (LegionFace) = x_X

Else

Set (LegionFace) = :P"

Saying "it is easy" and posting made-up code talk is the same as saying "it is easy" and presenting nothing.

Dude, with all due respect, if you have no clue what you are talking about stop contradicting people that do. The whole "functionality" you keep talking about is this:
if(power activated) SetModel(power_model)
else SetModel(regular_model)
THAT'S IT. Big functionality.
Literally all they have to do for legion is 3 lines of code. Stop acting like it's complicated, it's not. They just don't want to spend their time creating the different animations/models for the masks. It's not about programming it into the game.

Why exactly should I trust that what you are saying is that simple?

No. That would imply that you can actually win without luck, or a full tryhard party. The idea reminds me of KDR in GTA Online: it isn't that kind of game, don't put it in and tell people they are rubbish because they don't have a high one when having a high one isn't actually possible without extreme luck.
DBD isn't actually competitive. Competitive elements have no real place, not without making people feel bad about themselves for no good reason, and making them mad at others for very good reasons that nonetheless do not merit the level of response they get.
If I see somebody with a high winstreak, I don't think they are a good player. Not in DBD, there's too many unaccountable variables.

As long as there are winners and losers, it's competitive. ;)

Guys, it's a freaking model, all models function the same. Stop making excuses for the devs. They literally can make 4 different models internally(with one expression each) and switch between them at random intervals or depending on some conditions(for example if the killer misses a swing he gets a sad face).
They aren't programming the next mission into space, come on.

But they don't, though. Oni's model changes as a result of his power, so he had that functionality built into him from the start. A Killer such as Legion did not.

@MrLimonka said:

I mean, adding a mask that changes expressions is high school level programming..
The algorithm is very, VERY simple.. the game checks if the player uses said mask, and just displays a different animation on each event, like pallet stuns.
My bet is that they are just too lazy to add new mask models, especially since the skin will be free anyway.

Like I said, I doubt it's that simple. Explaining it in layman's terms doesn't actually mean it is simple.

I mean it'll either could work on just that one piece or make it like that (very simple and perhaps incorrect, since I'm not a programmer):
Put in Oni's dynamic skins code in Legion
On NSS skin: When X, then change Y to Z (Y - normal expression, Z - new expression)
On any other skin: When X, then change Y to Y.

I highly doubt it's that simple since Legion does not function like Oni.

I disagree w/ you. My statement is prefect solution and make a excellent point about mori's and tunneling

I disagree. Knocking someone out of the game early will make a 3-man key escape much harder, and mori is super good at doing that.

in Mori-Keys = BAD Idea...Bring Franklin's :) Comment by TAG September 17, 2020

Only if the Survivors are able to power through the gens very quickly. If you tunnel a Survivor out of the game with a mori (saving yourself an entire hook's worth of trouble), you are nipping that in the bud super hard. Not that I really like moris or keys in their current for, but I digress.

in Mori-Keys = BAD Idea...Bring Franklin's :) Comment by TAG September 17, 2020

I mean, Oni has the ability to change parts of the model and whatnot baked into his design from the start. This is just a guess with no real basis behind it, but I imagine giving a skin the power to change design contextually would be something that would require change the programming on a Killer to allow such a thing without breaking how it functions with every other skin (including default).

Here's a clip taken by my friend on Xbox. It starts right after the first Haunted Grounds was cleansed (I know this because I saw it live), and you can see them cleanse another Haunted Grounds two totems later (the first one cleansed in the clip is Undying).

They said this back in the devstream q and a back when she released and its been re-iterated a fair few times. Its a pretty unreasonable thing to be base kit when you take solo play into account.

I don't recall this ever being mentioned by anyone other than Peanits. It wasn't even because he thought it would be too strong. It's that he believes it weakens the Pig by making to Survivors wearing Reverse Bear Traps would just do gens instead of boxes, which means the Reverse Bear Traps aren't stalling the game out.

Listen, if @thesuicidefox says it doesn't work on Xbox, I believe them. There's no reason for them to lie, they're not a cult leader trying to deceive the cultists or a pathological liar.
With that said, a video would be useful to get the devs' attention since we - and they - already know it works on PC.

I don't believe they are lying; I believe they were mistaken in what they saw.

Anyways, I just had my friend on Xbox test it out, and cleansing Haunted Grounds with Hex: Undying in play does refresh Haunted Grounds.
