    As we move towards the 8.7.0 release, we wanted to thank everyone for trying out the PTB and for sharing valuable feedback. We wanted to go over some notable changes you can expect.

    Haste and Hindered Stacking

    The community has shared a lot of valuable feedback regarding the Haste and Hindered Stacking changes as tested on the PTB. After careful consideration by the Design team, we will not be moving forward with all of the changes. We will be moving forward allowing Haste and Hindered to stack again. The perks you saw in the PTB will continue to go Live in 8.7.0 while we monitor their usage on Live servers. The exception will be Champion of Light; this will receive changes prior to release. Keep an eye out for the Patch Notes for full details!

    Abandon Option Trial Outcomes

    With the new Abandon option added for Killers, we’ve noticed there is some confusion around the results on different scenarios:

    Killer

    Scenario #1 – If all Survivors Are Bots:

    • The Killer can Abandon the match without receiving a Disconnection Penalty and the match is considered a DRAW.

    Scenario #2 – If the match has continued for 10 consecutive minutes without a generator being completed or regressed:

    • The Killer can Abandon the match without receiving a Disconnection Penalty and the match is considered a LOSS.

    DEV NOTE: Due to a bug, the endgame screen will currently show Survivors as sacrificed. This will be fixed in an upcoming Bug Fix patch.

    Survivor

    Scenario #1 - When all other remaining Survivors left alive in the Trial are bots:

    • The last Survivor can Abandon the match without receiving a Disconnection Penalty and the match is considered a DRAW.

    Scenario #2 - When all Survivors alive in a Trial are in the Dying State:

    • The Survivors can Abandon the match without receiving a Disconnection Penalty and the match is considered a DRAW.

    See you in The Fog!

    I am genuinely curious as to what the thought process was behind making the second scenario a LOSS of all things, especially considering this could easily be argued to be the most straightforward DRAW condition. On top of that, the first killer scenario should absolutely be considered a WIN for the killer if all survivors DCed. Why stick out the match with 4 bots over just giving the win? I can definitely get behind the other 2 survivor scenarios being DRAWS though, some killers play to 4-man slug and bleed out and that absolutely should not be a LOSS for the survivors.
