That's not good. It's not impactful. It should be total
As I've seen some other feedback to this tune, I wanted to confirm that it's been shared with the team so it's on their radar.

Well then I suppose that's fine, but it looks quite odd, then, because you can see in the video that as the animation of her head returning to Body Form finishes that the face flashes pale once the head reattaches as if it was supposed to be discolored.
Mhmm! There appears to be a little quirk with that, which I've made sure to still highlight to the team.

Coming back to this, I was able to confirm with our team that this is the intended texture for this specific head customization item.

Maybe I'm just reading this wrong, but can we get some clarification?
20%bonus to the next damage generator action ("kicking" the generator)
Does this mean we get 20% damage to the generator, or does 'generator action' mean the speed at which I kick the gen?
This refers to the damage that's done to a generator when kicking it. This is a bonus of 20% based on the gen's current progress.

Thanks for reporting this! If anyone sees this and is able to share Player Logs or footage of this occurring, I'll be sure to share those with the team.

Thanks for taking the time to flag this! We've flagged the issue related to David and The Wraith to the team, and as mentioned earlier in this thread, entering the Bloodweb with a given character will automatically set them to Level 50 and Prestige 3, unlocking their perks to Tier 3, as well as any items that would regularly be obtained during this process.

Is the "reward" regression for playing nice based off of total progress or current progress?
It's based on current progress.

Why couldn't they have anticipated scenarios in which survivors would abuse the mechanics, even without having users try them out on the PTB?
Also, I was shocked that the aura visibility bonus of the hook spread didn't take into account the M1 killer at all. Even if you can see a survivor 40m away, they'll either distance themselves or be hidden before you can reach them. Didn't they think of something like that?
The team does work hard to anticipate ways that changes could potentially be exploited, but there will always be cases where players surprise us (that's part of the joy of the PTB). On the inverse, there are also cases where on paper, something may look concerningly like an exploit but in practice, ends up not being as effective or impactful as anticipated. Cases like this are why we try to encourage folks to take the things that concern them and really test em out on the PTB.

Does Ghost Notes stack with Vigil? And if it does, can it not do that? I feel it should not stack.
I can confirm that the effects of Ghost Notes and Vigil will stack on yourself. This is definitely one of those interactions that I would encourage you to try out on the PTB to see how it plays out.
-
Building on what was mentioned during the Discord preview, I want to remind folks that values can be (and often are) adjusted. Feedback and player experiences are crucial to finding that sweet spot, so definitely give the PTB a try. If things feel overtuned or undertuned, let us know and we'll be sure to pass that feedback along to the team.
-
This is precisely the kind of situation we really want to see players exploring, poking at, and testing on the PTB. There's a ton of nuance when it comes to tunneling and slugging, especially when you factor into each Killer's unique quirks like you mentioned with Trapper and Sadako.
I really want to stress the "Test" part of Public Test Build here. We want to hear what feels good for you based on your in-game experiences, and we want to hear about what's feeling off. Just because a feature hits the PTB in a given state, doesn't mean changes (i.e. value adjustments) can't be made before it hits Live - that's the big ol' intent behind the PTB.
While there's a lot to digest on paper, I'm really excited to hear what folks think in practice. Speaking personally as someone who loves playing Killer, I hear the concerns we've been seeing from Killer players, but also want to ask folks to give this a chance, as you may be surprised by how natural it feels (but again, we're here to collect and share your feedback!).

@Jacknalls_Paw said:
"If the Survivor that was last hooked is Sacrificed or Killed, generators cannot be regressed or blocked."
I may sound stupid but I don't get it, what does this mean?
Oh gosh, you absolutely don't. It's a good question. What we mean by this is that when a Survivor is hooked multiple times in a row, which directly results in them dying, this effect would come into play.
-
@Emeal said:
Does the "No collision with other players (both Killer and Survivor)." mean they cant be hit or is this to prevent bodyblocking?
As you guessed, this is largely to prevent bodyblocking. The affected Survivor will still be susceptible to attacks and Killer powers (albeit with Endurance, as noted).

@ReverseVelocity said:
Quick question for the anti-slug, does it unlock the ability to self pickup forever once you've been down for 90s? Or is it a one time thing?
Good question! If you've been left in the Dying State for 90 seconds and self pick-up, the 90 second timer doesn't reset. That means that if you're left in the Dying State again, you'll be able to self pick-up again if you fully recover.

Tbf, in the strictest sense he already was, with a longer-than-usual lunge. They just gigabuffed that part of his kit.
I imagine it's not good for actual mobility.
Yeah, in practice, it feels more like an extended lunge than a dash. I'm excited for folks to get their hands on it! And hey, if that's not to your taste, you can opt for the existing Myers T3 experience with the Fragrant Tuft of Hair add-on.

Does this mean Last Stand has a normal vault animation, and works exactly like normal vaults, except for the stun effect?
To confirm, Last Stand functions as a normal fast vault (with the stun effect you mentioned, after meeting its requirements), albeit with a different animation from a normal vault. The vault speed of this is no different from a normal fast vault, though.

Ok, but is 22 minutes not a bit much for NOT having this option?
I'm in killer queue right now (and it says est. queue time is 22 minutes) and the option to "Play while you wait" was nowhere to be found ._.
Or asked differently: What is the threshold for it to not activate? Cannot be 20 minutes and above, no?
Yeah, the feature should definitely be kicking in with a queue time of that length - are you still encountering this, or has it since improved. In general, though, we're aware of some issues impacting the feature and are sending player reports to the team to help them investigate this as a priority.

We did end up in a killer lobby with the timer still shwoing 17 min remainingThanks for flagging this - I've passed it along to the team!
As a quick heads-up, I just confirmed with the team that the estimated queue time does not count down, so if it starts at "17 minutes" it would continue to display this throughout the queue. -
If any of you have access to your Player Log while encountering this issue, please don't hesitate to share that here and I can make sure it's sent to the team to help with their investigations.

I have pressed literally every button possible, there is no option for me to load into a Survivor game while I wait for Killer
Am I blind? Is the system broken? What is going on?Thanks for flagging this! The feature is currently active, but will not pop up if your estimated queue time is below a certain threshold. So in your case, the estimated queue time of ~2 minutes is what's causing the feature to not pop up for you. This threshold is something that we're looking into, though.

I totally hear the frustration here and know I personally can't change how these nerfs feel for you, but I do want to make sure the feedback I'm bringing back to the team is as specific as possible and as representative of your experiences in the game as possible. With that, it makes it easier to advocate for changes.
If you don't mind me pulling this back a step to dig into the details, I'd like to ask two specific questions:
1. Of the two recent nerfs to Fog Vials (reduced opacity; max 2 charges), do you feel that one of these in particular pushed the item from feeling viable to feeling like it's not worth using? If so, which was it?
2. If you could make one specific change to Fog Vials that'd push them towards being an item you'd enjoy using, what would it be?
I hear the more general feedback (and rest assured, it's being collected and shared with the team), but if there are specific facets of the recent nerfs that felt most impactful, I want to make sure I'm giving them my particular attention. That, and things that could make Fog Vials feel better for you (like the great suggestions of increasing the total charges a little more). -

So helldivers has a similar event always going around that can be viewed and monitored in real time and it makes it feel wholesome for community to track data in real time in game for the rewards, i think BP reward needs to be way larger than it is to motivate players to conjoin as one to complete it as an event.
And make it a monthly event hunt
That's an extremely good suggestion and one I can comfortably say has already been shared with the team :) I'd be more than happy to re-share it, though!

Please know I'm not upset with you personally, as I recall other comments from you on this forum and you always seem wonderful. However, I do have to question the logic and fairness of waiting to further adjust the Clown until the next PTB, while Fog Vials weren't given the same grace period. Without even getting into the uselessness of the nerfed Vials, I feel that either both the Vials and Clown should have been swiftly addressed within similar time periods, or developers should have waited to further test changes to both on an upcoming PTB. Right now, it just seems like there are different rules.
Oh gosh, none taken - no worries! Truly, this is good feedback and something I'm making sure is brought back to the team. I know that doesn't change how this situation specifically feels, but just know that it is being shared.
