in I just transferred from PS4 to PS5 and the characters I got from nightmare edition are locked Comment by mikewelk February 24, 2024

Toxicity of verbal communication would be similar to the Call of Duty level based on how endgame chats are currently. A chat wheel similar to Rocket League would be nice to have, albeit I don't really know how that would work when implemented.

Yeah they gutted Dead Hard pretty bad, funnily enough people still want nerfs! Decisive Strike also got gutted into practically non-existence...

The place would have to be exclusive to new players and would therefore be inaccessible if you wanted to try out a new killer after saving up 9,000 shards. If you're familiar with mindgames which work universally across all killers, survivors wouldn't be able to really learn whilst getting steamrolled.

Don't worry, they nerfed Sadako's tunneling potential and this has affected every killer's tunneling ability in the entire game!

(The Decisive Strike rework needs to happen ASAP).

They could also adjust Trap visibility based on maps, I'm tired of playing Trapper because there's always an offering for Eyrie of Crows...

The trap visibility on Midwich Elementary is also very bad for the survivor side so this wouldn't be a whole buff for the killer and it would help out on darker maps whilst maintaining consistency for the killer.

in Trapper rework Comment by mikewelk February 24, 2024

There really is no reason to run it at all, kind of like Alan Wake's boon totem. I don't understand why these perks are just made to saturate the shrine of secrets because that's basically their only purpose in the current state. The idea is really nice but it's a killer perk realistically. Territorial Imperative isn't even going to see an increase in usage if the perk remains so obsolete, the Self Care function only at basement (forgot the perk name) is also a little silly considering that Self Care is way more convenient.

Survivors are not in a miserable environment, but because they hate working and behave as they please, they are simply inviting the situation on themselves.

A lot of stereotypes being thrown around here.

The zoning potential of new Huntress. You can hold a hatchet and not really lose any distance, even around a large structure like Shack.
This means that a lot of skill expression will be gone from Huntress because players will simply hold Hatchets and not be punished for doing so.

Apparently the video doesn't show that because they started it "point blank" so it's not fair...

I think it's less the changes, which are bad to be sure, and more that they dedicated resources to changing someone like Huntress.
She's largely fine, not really complained about and is generally considered to be very good design.
So logically, they changed her instead of someone like Myers, Trapper, Legion, Freddy etc etc

They keep talking about how tight their schedules are which just rubs salt in the wound when stuff like this happens considering that the time could've been spent way more effectively.

The difference is Huntress is so slow it takes her 3x longer to get a hit at a loop. And if she reacts up too early ONCE then they get a few more loops. Trickster does not suffer in that same regard. And actually all console player asked for these changes AND all new players too. Also why are you being so hostile?

Never seen a discussion regarding specifically these changes on the forum, nor did I ever hear ALL these complaints. I'm a controller player and I promise you I never did ask for a buff!

That’s funny loops exist against the Huntress too! The laceration decay is also irrelevant considering itit takes 15 seconds to decay and only ever cubes in when pulling off to reload. Which with 8 knife hit main events he does way less now. (I also main Trickster) and in the 1v1 he is far stronger but when it comes to the whole picture Huntress is stronger. I really feel like you don’t play killer at all. Do you? Are you a survivor main?

I play both roles pretty equally. Always love the fact I can take both sides onto perspective. You saying Trickster is stronger in 1v1s says everything I need to know that this discussion will get no where and that the bias is incomprehensible. Ask anyone about who is better between the two and you'll find out pretty quickly the reality. You are severely understating the power Huntress has and inferring other killers are better or even on par with her to make your point seem credible. It's all nonsense and you're reaching for straws that are disintegrating in your hands. Luckily you can't label me as a survivor main now so I'm interested to see what alternative I'll get.

In some cases, like Hillbilly, they are nerfed immediately after implementation. You should know that management loves nerfs. Don't deny the possibility.

Hillbilly wasn't nerfed after implementation. They nerfed the cooldown and compensated it with easier curves. I wouldn't call it an overall nerf. I'm aware they do that, but if they believe those buffs were justified, why would they believe a revert and a nerf would be justified?

You are free to hate Huntress, and I know that Huntress is too strong. What I have said is an indirect statement of the following content.
biginner: Huntress is cheating! Suicide!
Expert: Huntress was criticized for being too strong on PTB, and management will likely nerf She.
Highest: Huntress is going to be nerfed anyway, so if we get used to the chase now, we'll have an easy game later on, right?

Huntress wouldn't get nerfed. The worst that could happen is a revert and that would be the best, and safest, option. There's no logic for a nerf, most just want her back to how she was or with that +1 hatchet.

The 8 knives comment is irrelevant considering he has 44 and can hit you with 8 in less than 3 seconds, and can down you before you can use your on hit speed boost to get to another loop, let alone use all 3 seconds of the boost. PLUS hes 115 on top of that AND he can move even faster with heart cage shoes.

Yeah there's a thing called loops which obscure his vision and prevent him from getting hits in. You can even lose all the progress you gained with the knives if the survivor knows what they're doing. He is a very weak killer, hence why the pickrates reflect that. Are you inferring that Trickster is better than Huntress?

Even if you are an M1 killer in the starting position, you are in a situation where you will be beaten, so it is pointless to ask this question only by focusing on this.
Savvy survivors avoid this situation in the first place, so they buy themselves enough time to do their job even if they are knocked down.
The important thing is not to not go down, but how much time you can buy to stop the killer before it actually goes down.

Point flew right past you as well. Another one to the count!

They are and it's really unfortunate. I don't know what their endgame is here. With every killer release/buff, trying to run them is becoming increasingly more difficult, via powers or perks, especially with all the exposed & aura reading ones available. It's basically a game of connect the dots via aura-reading with one hit downs more easily accessible to killers than ever before, and it takes little to no skill with quite a few of the rostered killers available to do so.
This is just another example of taking away yet another form of counter-play from one of the stronger/better balanced killers available, and makes the skill ceiling even lower on said killer.

I'm glad my main reply got some traction and Peanits most likely saw it, and the video, if we're lucky. Getting tired of arguing with people about changes like this. Chess Merchant was also defended like this so it feels like a cycle here. Tell me why we're comparing BILLY to HUNTRESS in order to justify that video...
