Oh, imagine having ruin inside your 3-gen every time.

It's the survivors own fault if they 3 gen themselves. Having ruin in the middle would be like having a survivor hooked in the middle.

Nevertheless, survivors could still cleanse that ruin.

@dugman said:
Being able to replace a Boon and boons stacking aren't actually problems in an of themselves because boons can be balanced around those general features by adjusting their specific parameters. For example, if Circle of Healing is too powerful in its current form it can be balanced by simply turning down its healing speed. And if Shadow Step is too power it can be balanced by reducing its radius of effect. Also, as was pointed out above, in order to allow survivors to each hypothetically have multiple boon perks simultaneously they have to have all the boon perks on a given survivor stack on their one boon totem. (Otherwise you'd need up to 16 totems on the map for up to 16 simultaneous possible boon perks if all four survivors brought a full set once more Boons are eventually released.)
And note that Boons are intentionally made to not work like Hexes since Hexes, unlike Boons, start off the match in play immediately with no action required on the killer's part and Hex effects are map-wide with respect to where their totem is. Since Boons don't have those advantages they are given this ability to be replaced after being snuffed to compensate.
So while Circle of Healing and Shadow Step may need to be adjusted in their next balance patch (probably in January or so) they'll probably just need to have their effect or radius adjusted with no particular need to change how the Boons are placed in general.

Killers will happily start the trial with hex perks unlit, if they could choose the spot and lit the totem several times.

No killer would complain about this "nerf".

Undying was nerfed under the premise that cleansing the same hex 4 times (ruin) is unfun.

So they'll either bring old Undying back or nerf boons to the point where they can be used only once.

There is no in between.

It's genuinely true. And there's always the same argument of 1v1 having to have a "counterplay" and it has to be "fun to face", which means Killers either end up either feeling janky as hell or straight up don't stand a chance. I really get the issue that it should be fun to verse a Killer, but this is a 4v1 game, not a 1v1, there has to be a better way.

I never understood the "fun to face" logic behind killer nerfs. Because let's face it, SWF isn't fun to face. But the devs won't do anything about it.

So why nerf killers that aren't fun to face?!

in It’s very clear y’all want Spirit gutted Comment by Tsulan November 8, 2021

All I want is that the guy who explains the killer/perks does it during the reveal instead of the release. So we don't have to download the PTB or watch streamers in order to find out what's coming.

But my prediction for the perks are:

Killer = a perk that helps finding boon totems, one that makes skill checks harder for 10 seconds when the killer clears a boon totem and a tracking perk that builds on crows.

Survivor = 2 boon totems that are even more OP than the current ones (maybe one that protects the boon) and a crow based tracking perk for survivors. Something like the killer is revealed every time he disturbs a crow.

in Last Chance! Final Predictions on tomorrow's Chapter. Comment by Tsulan November 8, 2021

The game used to have a hard entry for survivors and a easy one for killers. That progressively changed the higher the rank of both sides.

Which looked something like this:

Low ranks = killer>survivors

Mid ranks = killer=survivors

High ranks = killer<survivors

Now it looks like survivors are the dominant role, even in low ranks.

Interesting

I never had problems with camping/tunneling when Undying was nerfed. It got pretty bad after the DS nerf. I seen the survival rate. That doesn’t really mean much. I think DS should work twice. It’s an anti tunnel perk and it should do its job better than it currently does.

I wouldn't mind DS working after each hook state, IF the game was properly balanced.

But not with the current state of the game.

People asked for a additional objectives for survivors, in order to reduce the pressure on killers. What we got instead was a additional objective for killers which have already to little time and end up doing the most basic thing to "secure" a kill: camp.

It's exactly the same for me. Camping/ tunneling has been pretty bad since the DS nerf (pretty obvious why killers wanted it gutted, lol). The only thing boons have made killers do (more) is abandon less chases so that survivor's don't get away and heal. That's the only difference I've noticed.

The complain threads about camping increased shortly after the Undying nerf. The DS nerf was later.

Oh and the devs showed survival rate with/without DS both before and after the nerf. They looked exactly the same.

I don't play survivor too frequently anymore because survivor gameplay bores me but last night my wife and I decided to go for a survivor session and played 13 games.
We get matched with EU streamers like Tru3 on a regular basis and have around 5000 hours so I suppose we're high MMR on both sides.
For once we didn't exclusively get Blight and Nurse players so it was kinda fun.
The matches and results we had:
- Hag (killer gave up and kept slapping trees as I kept popping her traps to get her to chase me)
- Deathslinger (killer disconnected after 3 gens popped with 0 hooks)
- Freddy x2 (4 man escape, 2 man escape. Second match would have been a 4 man escape with 3 hooks total but NOED helped him get the 2 randoms)
- Tombstone Myers (4 man escape)
- Bubba x4 (1x 4k because both randoms got downed at 5 gens next to each other then both of them rage quit on hook, 2x 4man escape, 1x 2 man escape [the randoms died early on but we somehow still did the last gen and both got out])
- Slugging Sally (4k)
- Pig x2 (both times with the iridescent tape. 4 man escape, 2 man escape as the two randoms died again)
- Trickster (4k). Both randoms were together with similar names and immediately pointed at hooks when they saw it was Trickster. Selfish people. Me and my wife still ran him good and did 3 gens on our own. Would have been another easy 4 man escape if it hadn't been a 2v1 match from the start.
These results aren't really supposed to mean anything because it's just 13 games but I thought I would share them anyways because I usually don't keep track of any game results.
So anyways we played 13 games and died 3 times.
Escape rate as an experienced 2-person-SWF without full meta builds*: 77%
My build was: Bond, Kindred, DS, Dead Hard
What are your survivor experiences since MMR regarding escapes? Do you escape more/less frequently?

This sounds pretty much how my matches as solo survivor go.

At this point of the game, the biggest threat for survivors are other survivors. People that straight up sabotage the game by disconnecting or suiciding. If my teammates don't do something like that and instead do gens. Then it's usually a easy escape.

in I played 13 survivor matches and feel like sharing the results Comment by Tsulan November 8, 2021

If you want to know why so many killers camp and tunnel, I'd recommend you to play only killer for a month. Not just a killer daily every few days, but dedicating a whole month to the killer role.

I guarantee you that you'll understand why killers camp.

Ok regarding the perks, they give up a perk slot for a perk that helps them find totems. So that's not a biggy.
What do you mean when you say stack? You mean when multiple survivors run that boon perk and have a boon totem activated? Because that sounds quite situational, however I do agree that could definitely be a problem. They probably shouldn't stack.
Now, I have to admit I did underestimate the range of 28 meters, because it's a radius, so the effective area range is actually 56 meters.
Of course, I think we still have to play the ptb to make a final judgement. But I do actually agree, at least the Boon perk that hides scratchmarks and aura will probably be busted and too strong with that range.
They need to tone down the effect in some way or reduce the range by quite a bit. And probably for the healing perk too. But again, this is not my final opinion on the matter yet. I also don't want them to be perks that nobody uses after the first few days.
These perks would be fine though arguably if survivors had a second objective to do. I am still hoping that the Mori changes will have some second survivor objective tied to them, and that they happen soon.

Survivors don´t get a secondary objective. Instead, killers will have to deal with even more. Just imagine that all 4 survivors use boon perks. The killer will either have massive drawbacks or cleanse the boons non stop. Which will leave him with even less possibilities to slow gens down.

You will never give up the idea that BHVR cares much more about survivors, do you?
Now, the perks do sound strong. The healing one in particular. But better than or just as strong as a map wide regression on any gen that isn't being worked on? I'm really not convinced.
Self Care takes 32 seconds to heal yourself. If you instead bless a totem and then heal yourself that way, you're going to heal yourself at quite the similar speed.
It will be good once you get more usage of it then just the initial heal, but at that point, I'm not convinced yet that it will be stronger than meta perks survivors already have. But even then, place the totem somewhere near your objectives, and it will be easier for a killer to snuff out. Place it somewhere farther away, and survivors will waste a bit of time running to the boon totem.
The second boon totem that hides scratchmarks and auras I can hardly judge at all. It could be good, but having such an effect restricted to a certain area, could also make the perk not worth it.
I'll have to see how it plays out in the ptb. But I hope the devs are open to feedback if they do turn out to be too strong, because they certainly don't sound weak, that's for sure.

The heals of the first one stack. The second one can be applied to 4 totems if every survivor equips them. Turning huge areas of the map into scratchmark free zones.

Oh and Hex perks are gone once they are cleansed. Boon totems are not. Survivors have perks to find totem spots, killer gets just a sound when he´s close to a boon totem.

And yet in order to have “infinite” flashlights and medkits that do anything, it means survivors are healing, blinding, then sitting in lockers, etc. instead of doing gens. Isn’t that what we want? Incentives for survivors to not just sit and do all the gens as fast as possible? Longer, slower paced games?
I feel like some people will only be happy if the devs just straight up add 30+ seconds to the generator repair bar and then delete all non-meme-tier perks. “Shake up the meta but absolutely do not buff any perks! Slow down gens but not like that!” If you want the game to be rebalanced and become less samey then you have to accept that that requires things being changed, including some things being buffed into being more viable or more fun to use.

Oh wait... so a survivor who goes full speed healing build but "wastes" 12 seconds in a locker is slower at healing than a SC user? lol

We don't even know the "reward" yet. I'm guessing the effects won't be as strong as with Hex perks.
Also, survivors blessing totems multiple times will surely consume a bit of time as well, acting as a small second objective.
It all depends on how strong the perk effects will be. They can definitely balance these perks properly. Hex perks, at least the strong ones, are balanced around the idea that they can be removed from the match completely. Boon perks will need to be balanced around the fact that killers have to find these totems, and around the fact that they can be reactivated.

Since survivors have to "build up" the boon totems, they will be strong. You´ll see.

Ever find it kind of sus that the most picked killers in red ranks have the lowest consistent kill rate of all the killers?
Almost....as if...the data is slightly skewed or off....

Or because the data is unconclusive, because of the wide variety of builds/players. Remember, the red rank kill rates only consider the killers rank. But not the survivors. We have been getting rainbow matches for a while now. So no surprise, when a rank 1 killer stomps rank 12 survivors. Or when survivors don´t like the killer/map/offerings and run straight to the killer to end it.

I'm playing survivor aswell, i have always played survivor more often but the global state of the game is concerning me.
Without killer the game is dead. And i don't see how ppl will continue to play killer with the current state of the game.
I play both sides at a fairly high MMR (survivor i'm at the top, killer a little lower but not that much).
And i have noticed that gen rush is present in almost all trials, even good nurse are ending up with 2 kills only and are forced to camp and tunnel... it is so sad.

We have reached the point where survivors are the biggest threat to other survivors. When playing solo, i sometimes get matched with people that disconnect on the first down, followed by a hook suicide of the second survivor and another hook suicide of the third survivor. Even when 2 gens were completed by the time the killer got his first down.

So i can understand when people want to play with friends, where something like that won´t happen. Which in turn makes the game harder for the killer, because even a little coordination makes the game so much harder for killers.

In the week Pinhead was released, people complained about the sbmm and killer queues. Obviously the killer queues were caused by the new killer. Now that some time has passed, queues are going back to normal. Means that survivors have to wait a couple of minutes, while killers get instant lobbies.

Usually game health can be easily watched by checking the queue times for both sides during prime time. The side with the longer queue is usually the stonger one (exception is, when a new chapter/killer launches). So far it also looks like the survivor queues will continue to increase. Because the gen rushing has become unbearable for killers.

Hell, i´ve even seen survivors escape with 11k bloodpoints. I´ve seen "tunnel or camp" complaints from survivors that died with 11k bloodpoints. But escaping with so little points seems to be no issue. Which is worrying.

Yup and half the time, survivors will spawn directly in front of Ruin & Undying.
Playing killer became just impossible. Most of the trials are totally impossible to win without camping/tunneling.

I´m sure the devs will do something about camping and tunneling but nothing about the current gen speed. So my best advice is to simply switch to survivor.

in Why play survivor when you can play killer and win easily? Comment by Tsulan September 25, 2021

Why play killer if you can play survivor and win easy? What other game lets you win easily just by holding m1 twice for 80 seconds? Usually when i see Undying Ruin, i laugh to myself, because the killer wasted 2 perk slots. Especially since Ruin can be completely ignored and it won´t slow down the gen progress.

Maybe the killer even wasted a third perk slot by equipping PoP. Which will never come into play as long as Ruin is active.

Do you have statistics to back this up, or is this just that one killer streamer being upset again?
Last stats we got was 70% kill rate at red ranks. Bit at odds with these forums' insistence that not a single killer can ever take down a single survivor.

It was more a direct response to the message I quoted.

But since you asked. I'm currently experiencing a 70 to 80% escape rate.

What's also fascinating is the amount of keys I find in chests with a full farm build. My last 6 matches had: 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 2 keys. Red or purple keys.

But no, that's not representative.
