Now that Wesker's been out a while and most of his collision issues from the PTB are resolved I'm curious which killer you guys think is more effective overall - Demogorgon or Wesker? These two obviously have some similarities in their chase style but they each have their own advantages and disadvantages compared to the other.0 comments 91 views last activity

With the upcoming improvement to the Archives where you can have both a survivor challenge and a killer challenge queued up simultaneously, that brings to mind a similar request for the Daily Ritual logs. Namely I think it would be a good idea to, instead of showing 3 rituals of random types like it currently does, always show 2 killer rituals and 2 survivor rituals. The reason I'm suggesting t4 comments 51 views last activity

Wesker is looking to be one of the most popular killers in recent memory for the game by most accounts, he’s fun to play as and against but isn’t overbearingly powerful while having a pretty good variety of playstyles and loadouts. There is one item, though, that seems to come up as possible needing a slight nerf - his Iridescent Uroboros Vial. Iridescent Uroboros Vial - Survivors start the Tr7 comments 221 views last activity

One thing that seems a little so-so in the upcoming mori system is that the new versions of mori offerings are simply bloodpoint rewards. But we already have a bunch of other bloodpoint offerings so adding new bloodpoint offerings isn’t really expanding what offerings mechanically do.

There seems to be some confusion on exactly how the 45 second timer for self recovery of dying survivors is going to work. Currently it takes survivors about 30 seconds to build their recovery bar to just under full, or if they are being healed by someone else it goes twice as quickly. In this new system, does the 45 second self revive timer then mean it take 45 seconds to get the recovery bar to2 comments 81 views last activity

One thing I'm not clear about from the dev update is what happens if you have some survivor(s) dying or hooked and the Last Survivor standing escapes out the Exits? Are the dying and hooked survivors immediately sacrificed, or does the killer now have to go back and hook anybody who's dying to force the game to end?4 comments 52 views last activity

Now that Wesker’s been out for three weeks or so and most people who wanted to try him out have given him a shot, which killer do you think is more fun to play as, Demogorgon or Wesker? The two obviously have kind of similar playstyles in chase and in a way Wesker is a spiritual mechanical successor to Demogorgon who’s no longer available in the store.

I was thinking about the solo versus swf gap in escape rates which historically is about +4% per extra person in a swf (i.e. +4% for 2 person swfs, +8% for 3 person swfs,, +12% for 4 person swfs) and how at the moment the escape rate is probably decent for full 4 person swfs but maybe slightly too low for full solo groups. What if the game gave all all solo survivors a small, say, +5% repair sp16 comments 211 views last activity

Behaviour just tweeted that they'll be previewing an "exciting new feature" this week that will hopefully be in the next PTB. From the 2022 roadmap, there's two main things left to do - custom matches against bots, and the automatic moris on the last living downed survivor. It could be something else, but since those are the main things they've been working on all year from the roadmap I'm guess26 comments 641 views last activity

A quick question for the devs, on the main menu you can sometimes see a matchmaking incentive for killer (e.g. +50% next to “Play as Killer”). The dev blog on the incentives said the incentives are partly based on your MMR, so that if your MMR bracket needs more killers you’ll see a killer incentive for instance. However MMR for killers is also independent for every character, so my Nurse MMR is2 comments 61 views last activity

I thought it might be fun to make some threads discussing some of the statistically least used perks in the game. For purposes of what I consider "least used" I'm going by an aggregate site I follow which tracks perks used by opposing players in uploaded matches. The very top perks are used by about 20% or slightly higher of players, the least used perks see less than 1% usage. And this thread wh8 comments 141 views last activity

So obviously a common topic is that the way the game is structured around mid-match player elimination means that optimally a killer should be focusing their hooks most on getting one player out first, then another player, and so on, rather than spread hooks out across all four players evenly.

A quick suggestion for the mods or Mandy, I’ve seen a lot of people who seem to be confused on how to submit an ingame report because the system changed slightly with the addition of anonymous mode.

Out of curiosity as a question for the devs, since there seems to be renewed discussion about it on Youtube and elsewhere, roughly what's the percentage of players who are above the MMR soft cap?

Recently Awakened Awareness was tweaked so that it only shows auras while carrying someone. Unless I'm misremembering part of the intention of the change was so the aura didn't last two more seconds combined with Lethal Pursuer. However Lethal Pursuer is still allowing the AA aura to last for two seconds after you finish carrying a survivor.15 comments 421 views last activity

I realized tonight that the way the current Daily Ritual system works actually hampers the impact of the Matchmaking Incentives a bit because, for example, if I have three Killer daily rituals it works directly against if the game is trying to entice me to play Survivor with a 50% or 100% bonus on that side.

It seems like if Wesker throws a survivor into a the Exit Gate Boxes the survivor takes no damage.

In the dev update blog in June or so where they detailed how the matchmaking incentive works they mentioned that the incentive amount is partly based on your MMR. So for example if there is a scarcity of survivors at your MMR bracket in the game you will have an incentive bonus given to play as survivor. The thing is, though, every killer character has its own independent MMR. Like in my case fo0 comments 21 views last activity

This is a weird map specific bug with Wesker's Bound that appears to be reproducible. There are two sample of it in the video below, the first is at about 20:40 and the second is at about 23:25 where he replicates the bug by doing the exact same Bound attack in the exact same spot in the match as when it first occurred. https://youtu.be/VT5-aYil3Xk?t=1236 ht0 comments 11 views last activity

So I finally got around to playing Wesker a bit and my first impression is pretty much as I expected, he seems to have solid potential but feels like he could use a couple minor tweaks. His collision box seems too small at 20 cm. Probably should split the difference between that and the 40 or 45 cm it was on PTB which looked too large and set it to 30 or 35 cm. His charge time feels just sligh1 comments 41 views last activity

The impression I’m getting is right now Wesker’s Bound collision box size with survivors is maybe on par with Deathslinger’s shots? As in your Bound has to, from the game’s perspective, land squarely on them or it will miss. Wesker’s maximum range on a double Bound is also a few meters longer than Deathslinger’s rifle, which leads me to think that the way to actually aim his Bounds is pretend the11 comments 311 views last activity

So I have an Anti-Popular Perk loadout I'm using for killer and it's working pretty well. Basically it's perks which kind of directly counter the most popular survivor perks at the moment.

Hi, just a couple quick questions for the devs from the new update blog if they feel like clarifying Does Better than New still apply the 6% gen repair speed increase as well as the 16% increase in various other actions? Or is the gen speed off it completely? On the PTB if Wesker was Bounding at a pallet that a survivor was using Any Means Necessary’s to lift the Bound would be cancelled.
