Then why do you bother replying to this thread? Gens regressing to 0% aren't supposed to turn yellow, they never did until 4.7.0, it's clearly a bug. You're disingenuous.

I theorized why this bug was occurring based on the description of a perk which was my original point before I got sidetracked by 2 people who rolled poorly on their history checks, then responded back to them.

Check the 2nd post.

And I get that it now says edited but it was 3 words edited in the last sentence edited for clarity so I'm offering you a chance to go read that since it seemed all you came here to do was insult me

counterpoint how does this prove killer is too strong against 4 random survivors rather that 4 random survivors are too weak

in Killers are OP against 4 survivors that aren't grouped. Comment by bjorksnas May 12, 2021

I still think this bug has something to do with framerate, since in my last 20 nurse games in recent memory this has only happened once, not in one match it was prevalent but once. I feel like its just a broken interaction between the frame rate of the game and nurses power so having a more volatile fps number such as trying to reach beyond 120 causes a jittery framerate that can lead to this bug being more frequent. Maybe try capping your framerate and see if that has an effect on the frequency of this bug

Guys Im gonna have to reign in your parade but a few months ago some gen related perk descriptions were reworded, they still have the same described effects they are just worded differently and more uniformly with other gen related perks, and you aren't important enough to me to open the entire game to screenshot the description of a perk that I can find via google even if it uses outdated wording *notice that doesn't mean it didn't have the same effect

Well lets consult description of the perk

well it says right there once the regression ends, generators will be highlighted yellow

meaning that when a gen regresses to 0%, regression ends

either the intended mechanic is functioning properly since a gen at 0% is identical to a regressing gen at 0% so no point in wasting resources to keep a gen marked as regressing and have it spew out sparks "finally"

or its a bug that regression ends when a generator reaches 0%

which for a bug it only has two interactions, it either stops regressing and overcharge loses its stored skill check on a gen at 0%, or it still counts as regressing but surveillance has the gen turn red. Either way I'm all for a surveillance buff instead of an interaction that has a skill check at 0% on a gen going since at that point it does absolutely nothing of value

I'm not the best at spotting pallets. I'll have to watch the video again. If it was my fault, it was my fault and I'll take that. I'm still a relatively new player. I was just using the video as an example of fast the Wraith is now, how there's essentially little or no way to get a safe distance from him once he comes up on you and uncloaks.
I mean again, two people here said that I missed pallets (though I don't know what the straight line would have helped, I turn around corners and spin and it never makes a difference so I've given up on that). If I played poorly I played poorly. But I would think that being able to immediately jump out of the room before the killer even fully gets through the door and uncloaks, and he STILL manages to catch me, would indicate that maybe he needs to be toned down a bit. I may be wrong but I remember him needing a few seconds of cooldown during the uncloak, now it seems that he's pretty much able to just be on you immediately. That's my main complaint.

Map of the options you had

Wraith is a stealth killer they are designed to attempt to start chases close to survivors and capitalize on unawareness, his strongest counters are perks like spinechill, and open areas, or the combination of the two

if you run in a straight line right as he starts breaking the door you gain 6 meters of distance, since you can hear it halfway though the 3 second breaking animation but you only reacted to it breaking fully so you gained no distance, he uncloaked which gave you 12 meters and him only 4.8 meters, and you ran away from 5 potential pallets, and doubled back into him to get hit, not only that but his movement speed had no effect on on the clip other than the fact he could travel to you and break the wall sooner with no distance closed in chase in fact he lost 1.2 meters in chase due to the nerfed uncloak speed, in situations like this where the wraith breaks something like a wall you have the most ample opportunity possible since they have 3 seconds of breaking the wall and 3 seconds of uncloaking 6 seconds is plenty of time to react since its like reacting to a killer who is 20-16 meters away in clear line of sight.

any killer should be able to catch a survivor who doesn't use resources reacts slowly, and loses distance by doubling back into the killer, on top of that after all this he got a single m1 attack, there was plenty you could have done against the wraith, you didn't pick any of the good options and played suboptimal, and you can now learn from it as it has been dissected

key mistakes, bad reaction time on him breaking the door, lost 1.5 seconds, doubling back into the killer, not using resources available

key points, pay more attention for better reaction time, learn environments and what resources they provide for usage, don't double back into the killer and try to limit how much distance they can cut off a chase.

to be fair in the clip you have 27 seconds of working on the gen with another survivor before the wraith breaks open the door, if we count that the wraith did nothing but go in a straight line towards you for those 27 seconds, it would have only taken him 31 seconds to reach you if he had old movement speed does this speed buff make it easier for him to pressure survivors and be on survivors faster, yes, does it do it an overbearing amount, no, he is about 14% more efficient, which for someone who has been underwhelming for 4 years up to this point, he deserves to have at least this since its still a heavily skill based killer against adept survivors its just underwhelming, for those who don't pay attention or use perks to make up for their flaws, such as spine chill for those who are bad at paying attention he has a bit of a field day which is the same with everyone, suboptimal plays and clueless survivors are a field day but especially with stealth killers

if it took him 27 seconds to start every chase with a thats 216 seconds of downtime looking for survivors to chase or reaching them, if at least 1 survivor is always doing something productive and the game starting with 4 survivors working on gens, you can first easily get 102 seconds of gen time, then get another ~100 as he chases hits, downs, and hooks a survivor, thats half the objectives done with a match especially if they let the survivor sit on hook for the 13 seconds to complete 3 full gens, all because he takes a long time to find a chase due to this raw potential for optimal play I think its ok if he moves a little faster and his current state is fine

I'm glad that I and some others have been bitching enough about this for others to start taking notice.
I'm fine with the Wraith being able to cloak. I'm fine with the Wraith being able to move super fast while cloaked. All I ask is that when he decides to uncloak, I have a fair chance to get some distance, not just let him have a free hit every time. That was never happening to me before his update, now it happens on a consistent basis. It's too much.
I just posted this in another thread and am not trying to spam my channel (these vidoes are actually unlisted anyway) but I post this as an example. I'm in a room with one exit, a hole in the floor. There's a breakable door. The SECOND that I hear that door being hit, I bail. At the 11 second mark if you look SUPER CLOSE you can see just the Wraith's one foot uncloaking. In other words I jumped up and ran before the killer was even in the room, I was down the next floor before the Wraith even uncloaked, but he quickly ran over and was able to hit me anyway. What, in this scenario, did I do wrong? What could I have done differently to avoid the hit? In what way could I have defended myself against a free hit here?

Stealth literally counters every killer in the game barring doctor.
If no one takes chase the killer has free reign to patrol gens. Someone has to distract to buy time.

as long as you keep gens spread far enough stealth can buy time, a mentality of you need to force a chase with the killer doesn't work vs spirit unless they play either badly, slowly, "fair" or any combination of them

if they are patrolling gens just hide around the gen which either way buys time since they have no one to go after and continues patrolling or has to spend time searching for the survivor successful or not it still buys time

Firstly considering all her counters are perks that’s not a good thing. Survivors don’t see what killer they are going against so I could go in with a healing build against a spirit and have no way to defend myself. Also stridor does counter iron will.
Her mobility is only really good when you take add ons into account but considering she is a 110% chase killer having a bit of mobility is still great.
Just because they have been nerfed already doesn’t mean they are suddenly fine.
Im not going to say all spirits are uncounterable but the majority of red rank spirits have a good idea of how to play her effectively so chances are you #########

Healing still counters spirit because you aren't injured as long against her or have tools to heal yourself

Also if you can't defend yourself don't get into a chase don't take a chase, there is more counterplay than just perks but most people don't see counterplay unless it is run in a circle or perks to carry them which is why I didn't go into the whole 9 yards of counterplay 99% of players just don't bother with against spirit

Her problematic addons have already been changed whats left is duration with a trade off, and movement speed with a trade off that demands excellent hearing and tracking, or just normal addons for decent boosts

Any killer with decent potential like spirit solo queue doesn't stand a chance against since there is no cordination of strategy or gameplay 99% of the time there, even if 3 people counterplay spirit by being stealthy and not taking chases that 1 person can still lose of the game for the other 3, any killer that can target out a weak link with strong chase power can do the same

How is she not OP? She has an uncounterable chase power, decent mobility and insane add ons

uncounterable? not really since there is still a large number of perks that can counter her, spine chill, iron will, lucky break, off the record, quick and quiet, fixated, urban evasion to a lesser extent then fixated, dance with me, deception

decent mobility? yea but at the cost of her chase power she can't phase for mobility then phase for chase power back to back, 1-5 second of movement in power is 5-15 seconds of cooldown (counting the 2 seconds of extra penalty applied for anytime m2 is let go of) unless they dedicate addons to it

Insane addons? yea, but they have already been nerfed a few times already prayer beads, comb addons, post phase movement speed addons, post phase movement speed itself which effectively double nerfed those addons.

Spirit in her current state in fine, she just happens to counter a decent portion of the stagnated survivor meta because there is only 1 counter within the current rotation of meta perks, and is pretty weak against healthy survivors

if you are facing a spirit and having a hard time it might just be that you are playing suboptimal against her by doing things like taking chases, and staying injured, or not having perks to benefit from in a chase.

Not trying to be snide here but what I said about the L wall isn't subjective and neither is game balance. Do you mean objective? Anyway I wouldn't be against j flick staying in the game but I'd prefer it gone for consistency. It's still so much more interactive than Spirit/God Nurse. Hell if it got people off spirit I'd be on your side of the fence aha

Sure

bump logic is effectively how to chase tiles as blight using just base mechanics for guaranteed hits at most tiles, and how to try to force hits at others which is more survivor dependent

Basically its just a general term for of blights power and common strategies on how to bump at certain tiles

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2173420#Comment_2173420
I read all your post and it's all correct but I will say on the L wall you can j flick depending on the setup (trees or rocks at the corner. Actually really refreshing to argue with somebody who actually has a proper understanding of the game here.
Now I agree that it's counterable. I'd be an idiot to say it isn't. It is a balanced mechanic by itself. I'm arguing that it doesn't make the killer overall balanced. I argue a good j-flick blight is going to get downs on par with spirit and nurse. Blight is a powerhouse when you are running between tiles and j-flick gives him a similar pressure when you're actually running on good tiles against him. You say without jflick you're running a 115 killer on a loop. While true, what's the issue with that? The game is built around that interaction. Now you say it's boring and that's subjective but I tell you my thousands of hours of survivor have been replayable being chased by generic 115 killers on loops. It's fun in my opinion.
It's kinda like Nurse. If everybody was j-flicking it would be complained about everyday but alas, not many people do it. Hypothetically if it was adopted to the level people play spirit, i'd wager there would be blight posts every fifth thread.
Finally I get that it's fun to j flick and it sucks to have it taken away from you. I felt the same about window techs being patched out. There was the counter play for it that worked 100% of the time rather than almost a 50/50 with j flick Blight. It still was removed.

Yea I enjoyed window techs (except where if you channeled a map or key you phase through the killer 100% of the time with no skill or timing involved) just like J-flicks they are fun mechanics that are an interaction between both sides, a killer that predicts a window tech can get easy hits and downs, and the survivor who pulls off a window tech can usually win the chase outright, which is the same with j-flicks there both create unique interactions that normal gameplay lacks.

Balance as a concept is always subjective, but in my opinion I would still be fine with losing j-flick and would love to use only bump logic but the game currently is in a bad state for bump logic alone, most collisions are barely passible at best, and every killer shack since yamaoka and badham have had no collision on any part of it unless you come exactly at a 90° angle and even then some areas still lack collision like the tarps. Im just tired of the collision with blight that frankly j-flicks are the only thing filling the void from me taking a break from dbd until collision gets fixed or just becoming a nurse and spirit main since they offer the type of gameplay im looking for (although are less fun then blight)

Also on the L wall its very subjective on the specific tile, since yes you can flick both on the top of the L around the two corners in a 180 and around the bottom of the L to hit near the window on nearly every tile but usually you can't hit all the way around any part of the L and hit the window, which makes it not as good as T walls where you can swing and hit the window itself fully which is much stronger

Personally I just enjoy the counterplay to both survivors and the bad collision that blight has thanks to j-flick and the variety of fun gameplay it offers

Then let's talk J-flick.
Its counter-play is to side-step out of correct pathing on the tile before blight has even committed to the j-flick. This works, however, if the blight doesn't j-flick you have put yourself in a poor position and have given an opportunity to give a hit if Blight doesn't j-flick. Blight gets his power up quickly, especially if the killer is managing the rushes well.
There aren't many Blight players that use it in the first place but I've had a couple games where I've versed a good blight player that makes impeccable use of j-flicks and the gameplay goes like this:
Every fast vault setup is hit pressure for the j-flicking Blight. Take the T L wall for example, running that tile correctly blight can attempt to j flick around the corner to make the hit in like a fifth of the time he should normally have to commit to the tile. Your options are to take the fast vault or sidestep the window. If blight doesn't j flick and you have sidestepped you are going to medium vault or continue the loop and have given distance for free. If blight couldn't do this every 6.5 seconds (fatigue + 2 tokens cooldown base); it wouldn't be that much of an issue.
This interaction is on a killer that already is incredibly versatile and already has hit pressure as soon as a tile is exhausted or the pallet has been used (hell blight even gets to destroy pallets in power).
My argument is I don't think it's healthy to have such a wildly different dynamic against a killer beause someone is making use of unintended mechanics. J flicks takes away a weakness intended for the killer and his design got so much praise before the exploit was discovered. Killers that just dominate on every tile on every map (looking at you spirit and god nurse) is uninteractive.
BHVR's decision to remove it isn't because it's unintended. Wouldn't survivor moonwalking be removed yonks ago cos it's unintended?
It's a balance decision.

Alright counter point time

It is true that the counterplay to blights j-flick is to stop looping a tile optimally but just like the blight you can also read your enviroment around you to see if the blight has any other options, sometimes j-flicks are used to make up for bad tile layouts with no real way to play around it with a blight that has already committed to power, much like the blight can read the environment to determine if j-flick is an appropriate choice given the situation so can the survivor to even stronger effect, since they not only know that this is blights only option they know if they counter it the blight has no choice but to 115 chase or to attempt another j-flick that will likely fail as the survivor is still keen on them

It doesn't actually take all that much to dodge a j-flick as the hitbox split in to 3 parts, large starting hitbox, extremely small deathslinger harpoon side held lunge hitbox, and barely slightly bigger ending hitbox, as long as you know the blight would be mid attack you can basically do anything you want as long as you aren't in the 10° cone point blank from the blight and not get hit mid attack meaning even if its just predicting and losing a bit of distance you don't have to lose all that much as long as you run optimal while he is farther away

Most fast windows you can't even hit a j-flick on it only really applies to small walled windows, such as Z walls [ walls and the LT walls depending on the variety, but usually only the T wall. Even then this is still a 50/50 on both sides like playing the tile normally, where a j-flick doesn't cover both options and bump logic doesn't cover both options, its still in both players hands to play better than the other player and predict actions much like playing the tile normally.

The interaction described on a LT wall is just a killer brute forcing a LT wall they can still mindgame and wind up on top as long as they aren't facing extremely good survivors because decent - good survivors are extremely predictable which is where j-flick shines countering the beaten path loopers who do nothing but hug a tile optimally and play against blight as if he was any other m1 killer, because both bump logic and j-flicks hard counter them but j-flicks especially are designed against them, while bump logic is more universal

My argument for j-flicks is it offers multiple things to gameplay

a new interaction between killer and survivor that isn't just guaranteed optimal bump logic
an interaction where both players have input
an interaction that differentiates a killers patters from the rest and punishes players who play the exact say way against every killer even close to the m1 category
it is designed to punish players who don't adapt to play against their opponent, if you stick to beaten path looping it punishes you, if you start playing suboptimal or more unpredictably it rewards you

I think its a balanced mechanic with the ability for interaction and counterplay from both sides and opens up gameplay at tiles that normally would be run in the same boring way as every single other killer, but it is designed to punish people who run it in the same boring way while rewarding those who play in a more unique fashion

In my eyes it opens the possibility to force survivors to play more unique which from a gameplay standpoint makes it fresh and more interesting while still being fun to play as and in some peoples opinions against

If a killer really wants to tunnel they don’t care about obsession/DS .

Yes but a killer who is on the fence and didn't risk it while there was an obsession, but tunneled relentlessly because they knew they didn't get punished with no obsession, now always have that deterrent.

Keys still have the 1up on being stronger than moris, they can be found in chests and pretty consistently with perks, on average the chance with plunders to find a key (that can open hatch) from a single chest search is 12.5%, or 1/8, you can loot 3 chests a game or have a 1/8 each time, so you have around a ~33% chance of finding a key in a match with a single perk (odds for only finding one key the odds of finding 2 or 3 keys do make it add up to 37.5% but all the math is for only finding a single key)

those odds increase even further to an average of ~55% chance if you bring appraisal meaning every other match you on average get a free key that the killer doesn't get any real indication that you can bring it with you, but it gets even better

You can bring hatch offerings, which means on any non indoor map, you can bring a main building offering to get a guaranteed hatch location or a shack offering to also get a guaranteed hatch spawn

Meaning you can have every other game a key in hand and a hatch location in mind preset while the killer doesn't even get to know while in lobby

Survivors just got one of the best anti tunneling changes in this update so that there is always an obsession and the threat of ds always looms, is that not enough

Oni is able to place razor wires and punji stick traps in his base mode, if a survivor triggers them they fill with blood and he can go back to collect them for 25% of his power if a survivor triggers 2 traps in quick succession they also become injured, injuring a healthy survivor no longer gives power but injured survivors still drop blood orbs

in If you had to make any killer in dbd trap based how would you do it? Comment by bjorksnas May 7, 2021

My build I have used since like day 3 with live blight has been ruin undying tinkerer bbq

I think tinkerer has more synergy potential in your build than noed to be oppressive

it works as another source of information and since blight is fast he can almost always capitalize on it making gens a nightmare for survivors to not be interrupted on while ruin gets to work

However this is pretty common knowledge so I will add my own fun / memey blight build

Huntress lullaby, Ruin, Tinkerer, BBQ, Soul chemical, Shredded notes

Soul chemical triggers a skillcheck that is punished more by lullaby

Shredded notes give you less downtime in your power so you can be rushing to gens to proc soul chemical more often

Tinkerer shows you a gen to run to to try and trigger a skillcheck for a sweet 14% gen progress on a single missed skillcheck

Ruin helps regress gen progress after you force them off the gen either if they do or don't hit the skillcheck but really twists the blade if they miss a skillcheck then have ruin keep regressing the gen

And finally bbq, because bloodpoints and information help round out the kit to keep momentum rolling while gens are uncontested

Discussions about the J-Flick are useless anyway.
The devs already said it will be fixed and i don't think the community has any input on this whatsoever.

That's not my mentality about it, ill give up on it when its gone but until then I will not stop arguing for it since I think its a wonderful mechanic. Giving up even a slim chance of input is worse then having no input at all. As someone who wholly understands the mechanic I am proud to stand by the complicated but right information about it rather than the simple but wrong answers everyone clings to as a point to have it removed or their simple but boring answers since games aren't meant to be boring.
