Opinion On New Auras

I think the new Auras on gens are actually a good thing, I feel as if this was something that been needed for a long time. Even with the current difficulties it's facing, I think once its ironed out they will be a nice change. What I do not like currently, is how hooks and survivors are suffering from the same outline problem that gens are having. I think that if the devs are somehow able to make hooks + survivors stand out, and keep gens that slightly transparent / hitbox;gridbox they are now, it would make auras a lot better to understand for newer players, and to help older players get the most out of their perks.

    Make them brighter and customisable in terms of colour (to help those who are colourblind) and delete ormond and I'm ALL for them.

    Also optimise them better.

    I personally like their appearance, but they will have to be much brighter, for example bbq is useless if you cannot detect a survivor making a engine... but I guess since the devs only listen to the main crying survivors they did it to continue nerfing even more the killers 🤔

    Their new design is neato, their brightness has been murdered and needs to be revived.

    Nothing was wrong with the old ones, literally no reason to fix what wasn't broken. Instead, now they're broken and need to be fixed. Just more crap on the pile of things that killer(mainly) has to deal with.

    They'd be fine if I could actually see survivors aura.

    Yea thats what I have been thinking as well. I feel like this could actually finally be a way to make the game more open towards players who might not have the best of vision

    ; moreover colorblindness and customizable auras are honestly something that Id actually like to see

    for this ido think that there are a lot of issues plaguing DbD, but from what I saw from the source leak ((whenever that was)), and from an analysis from Scott, It seems the game may have been managing auras poorly.


    All in all, I feel like this change is bad right now, but can really be a game changer if it actually gets fleshed out, and not just reverted.

    I've only played a few matches as killer since the update a I honestly hate it. I was so confused my first match because I could barely make out the gens and survivors auras are so in your face yet also difficult to make out.

    Can't wait to play on a map like Swap where it's hard enough to see as is. Not a huge fan, don't understand the change at all.

    The DESIGN is perfect, and much more accurate. The brightness tho'. That's really bad.
