If this isn't allowed feel free to delete.
The latest update to this game has made it abundantly clear BHVR not only doesn't want survivors to play stealthy, but they are going to do everything they can to prevent it. Don't get me wrong..... It's their game and they have that right. I even understand why they don't want survivors to play that way.
Having said that the reason I started playing this game and the reason I continued to do so is because I enjoyed the cat and mouse aspect of the game. I don't enjoy the chase simulator style. That's not a knock. It's not a complaint. It's just my personal preference. The most enjoyment I get from this game is watching a killer walk away after not being able to find me. That was already next to impossible with aura reveals, scream perks, etc. But the update to crows has completely shut that down.
Is anyone aware of any other games out there where stealth is not only part of the game but perhaps even a welcome and vital part of the game?

If you don't mind me asking, would you be open to sharing which recent changes have impacted the stealthy playstyle you prefer?

When it comes to collecting feedback and bringing it back to the team, it really helps to have specifics, and I want to make sure I have an accurate read on what you're describing here.

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Springtrap was invisible for over 30s. Axe was visible and floating, he still produced sound and had collision. This is NOT the same issue as previously after his release.
PLATFORM: Steam
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: He might've teleported, I'm unsure as the door was not in LOS of the gen i was on. I heard his footsteps and he was invisible. Stayed invisible through hitting me, downing me, and hooking me. It was only until later that he reappeared.

Thanks for flagging this! This is something I'd love to get in front of the team to look into. If you have access to your player logs, that would help greatly with their investigation.

Can confirm, additional perk presets are still on the way as part of Phase 2! We'll have more to share about this soon, so sit tight.

so basically you lose collision if you get 3 crows but we increased the crow timer by DOUBLE recently, and being near the killer, like in a bodyblocking situation makes the crows take LONGER to come?
How do we expect players to figure it out on trials without reading the patchnotes? its better to naturally remove collision if you are touching the killer for too long (like my last comment) waiting for crows is unreliable at best and until you get them most people will just DC

You bring up a good point about surfacing information like this to players in-game. It's absolutely feedback I can make sure is shared with the team.

While it's certainly not ideal to be body blocked for this much time, this is one of the circumstances the AFK Crows system exists to help address, and we'll be sure to let the team know if the timing for this to occur starts feeling like its on the long side.

I suggest as killer you try running lethal persuer. Most games now, (with all 5 of us running bloodpoint offerings, so no offerings changing it are in play) survivors just spawn like they used to. I don't think it is actually working right.

I appreciate you grabbing footage of this! In the meantime, would you be able to elaborate on what you're specifically seeing in terms of the Survivor spawns? That would help us check if something odd's going on here.

Update: after doing some trials on bots the perk really isnt showing the yellow hook stage until you hook the shoulder the burden user, in the past once you had used the perk you would scream and automatically show the golden counter, but RN it only shows after the user get hooked.
If its not intended or in the patchnotes, just kill switch the perk until a fix comes out, it does not need explanation on why its a bad idea to leave it be while its broken

Did BHVR at least acknowledge that the hook counter (golden stripe) is completely bugged on the killer's HUD, and doesn't appear when the perk activates?
This has been bugged for a while, and it makes the perk super awful to go against.

Thanks for sharing this video and flagging it to me. Let me take that back to the team to make sure it's on their radar for investigation.

WHILE CLOAKED!!!! Currently the Wraith cannot interact with anniversary Totems, or use the invitation ability to break pallets unless he UNCLOAKS. this is very frustrating as the wraith can Pick up the scrolls invitations while cloaked. Can this be looked into?

This is absolutely a piece of feedback I can make sure is shared with the team. While it's not something I would expect to see change before the end of the event, it's valuable feedback in a more general sense for the Killer.

@PatchNoir said:
Idk if the perk is bugged (and if its disable it) but i am consistently getting trials that i hook the same person 5+ times and the survivor just doesnt die. On endgame chat there is always someone with shoulder the burden BUT during the trial NEVER ever happenned to someone get the yellow hook indicator.
So basically the perk is bugged and not showing indication on being used, or cheaters are using it as a escapegoat to get infinite hooks (like in the past they used to pick vigil to justify sprint bursting all game)

As mentioned above, would you happen to have video of this or player logs from a match where this occurred? That way, I can share those with the team to investigate what may be occurring here.

Hello folks! Coming back to what we shared after the second Skull Merchant Design Preview, the community's feedback was shared with the design team, who took this into consideration when looking at what's next for Skull Merchant's rework. Not only did this feedback highlight aspects of the design that folks liked the concept of, it also highlighted aspects that didn't land well. That's okay! As I mentioned before, both sides of this are important parts of the design sauce!

We will share more about Skull Merchant when the time is right, but don't currently have any updates to share at the moment.

Hey there folks! Just popping in here to confirm that we just pushed a fix to improve how Coconut Scream Pies appear in Level 50 Bloodwebs (specifically relevant for your P100s!). You'll be guaranteed an Event Offering in the Level 50 web, alongside other Event items.

Is „up the ante“ supposed to only give 1% or is it bugged, because it was 3% before the last patch and it wasn‘t mentioned in the patch notes as nerf?

I can confirm that this is simply a case of a bugged description. The actual values of the perk (which impact gameplay) have not changed. The team's aware of this bug.

As for your question about the Ken Kaneki badge and banner, these items were exclusive to purchasing the Tokyo Ghoul Chapter DLC.
