I always thought it would be cool if each character's 3 unique perks were available for 1 perk slot. Like you pick one of the characters 3 perks in one slot and only that characters perks can go in there. And then you still pick the 4 perks you want like we already do.. so 5 total but one slot can only have 1 of 3.
Example:
Trapper has unnerving presence, agitation, brutal strength.
So I set up my 4 perks as usual just throw randoms I'll use Franklin, blood warden, spirit fury, and ruin. But then there is a 5th slot I can use but that slot will only hold one of the trappers own perks. So for this example we will say unnerving presence.
5 total but 5th slot has to be the characters own perk only. And this goes for survivors and killers.

I actually quite like this idea. Although some people would complain certain survivors would be stronger than others now (possibly even going as far as saying pay-2-win with characters like Laurie), I still think it would be a good idea and bring some meaning to each character rather than just a re-skin.

I like the idea of a 5th perk slot because there's always an extra perk that I want to run...but I think it would be a balancing nightmare in all honesty and an incredible amount of work for the developers, I very much doubt that it is something that would be implemented for these reasons alone.

I completely agree. There's always just that one other perk that would make my build perfect. The meta shift it would bring could cause so many issues for the devs and players. It would be safer sticking to what the game is like now but I think its a idea to think of how the game would change.

I'm generally against a fifth perk slot, personally. I really like the limitations of having only four perks. It makes me make choices about what I want to bring, I can't just take them all and be the jack of all trades.
To a lesser extent, while some of us might use it to make fun builds, I can see most people using it to slap on another meta perk just to better their odds of winning, and that would just further extend the gap between meme builds and meta builds.

Yeah I definitely like the limited choice we have because you have to really think about the perks you take. I think the only thing that irritates me about the limit is that meme/non-meta builds could be just a tiny bit stronger if they had one more perk slot to bolster them e.g. I wanted to take Breakout/Flip Flop/Tenacity/Unbreakable/Breakdown as a build cause I feel like it would be a really fun build to take but the four perk limit makes you have to choose one over the other sadly. It's sad how one build like this is almost the equivalent in taking 1 or 2 meta perks like DS or BT in terms of changing the game in favour of the survivor.

But yeah, definitely agree it would cause a big gap in those who wanna meme and those who wanna try climbing the ranks with meta builds.

no need to. There are so many games, way older than DbD, that didn't change the core elements. For example, Pokemon still has 4 moves slots.
adding a 5th slot would increase the killer-survivor disparity ever more.
I got what you were going for when you wrote the thread, but in nowadays DbD, it would never work.

I disagree to some extent. I know there are a lot of games that have kept their core elements and remained timeless to some extent. Some games have even made the game a lot worse by changing the fundamentals of the game (PAYDAY 2 for example). However, I feel like Pokemon isn't too comparable to DbD since it has so many other elements to it that make those four moves a fraction of what the rest of the game is since you have 6 other Pokemon to mix and match with. The only way you can achieve something similar with this is a 4 man swf where you pick specific builds for a certain strategy.

I just feel that since the market of video games nowadays strives for replayablity that many developers of games following this archetype (MOBAs, battle royale games, MMORPGs) create variety by switching up the fundamentals of the game. Eventually so many perks are going to become so obsolete that people will complain they even exist in the first place since they need bloodpoints for them. A passive perk would probably be a solution to this.

I don't think the game's balance can support a fifth perk for each player.

Yeah that's the biggest issue I think :( sadly the game isn't in a great place balance wise so this might end up causing too many problems for the game in a balance sense

If it was just a passive Perk slot, for something that doesn't offer advantages such as BT, DS, etc, then I'd be all for it. I usually run perks like Lightweight or Iron Will, and a Passive slot would be a great idea for those types.

I really like the idea too. I feel like some sort of rework with perks is needed because ultimately some perks are just rarely used :( if they give these perks a separate "passive" status then could actually see the light of day :D

Because it's even worse then head on bug

What's the point in saying it's even worse if you're not going to tell the poor lad what the Nurse bug is? xD

Why should they take responsibility for your actions? They're being nice enough to give them away, it's not their fault you wasted money on it. If you went to a convention for a skin, you need a priority check, same with wasting over $800 on a skin

Not once have I mentioned that I spent money on a one of the convention codes, nor did I go to the convention. If you read my post correctly, you'd realise I was taking a hypothetical stance to a the scenario. Regardless, you cannot simply dismiss the role of the developer's in people choosing to spend this kind of money. By creating exclusives in the first place, they were aware that they were creating a market for these exclusives. The definition of exclusive, especially within gaming contexts, means that these will NEVER be available again, cementing this status for those who were able to obtain it. By going back on their words, they are breaking a promise and have falsely advertised their product to the loyal players who could be fortunate enough to get them. I completely disagree with their justification for it because they are full of contradictions. Not only were they so late to put and end to these black markets, they are still not able to completely stop as they STILL have exclusives. As a company, they have a duty to protect their product from being mishandled and overpriced, in order to protect their customers - they are ultimately the ones in control of the product, not those unfortunate enough to spend the money on them. They only spent this money because of the exclusive status BHVR gave them.

They said no more platform exclusives period. I play this game since release on ps4 that makes me and thousand others " loyal players " and we deserve just as anyone else some kind of recognition and we got it, I have earned all event cosmetics and I dont mind them giving it away free to other people to make them happy and play the game more if you want exclusives go in store spend hundreds of dollars and get uniqe outfits those ARE exclusives you paid to support the dev and have uniqe items the exclusives you are refering to are free for all gift from devs that said, legacy and streamers cosmetics will remain locked for real og players as it should be, now be happy that devs made others happy and stop whining with posts like this.

I agree with you - I think they should be released on console because they have never had the chance to get these exclusives. Most of what I've said is directed at PC, not consoles. Perhaps I should have made that clearer. Regardless, it may make newer players happy who, ultimately, are the majority nowadays, but it has disappointed a lot of the older players because of the reasons I've mentioned above.
