Nightmare Auras

For me the nightmare now can't see the red auras of generators or hooks. Please tell me this isn't part of the recent patch. It's incredibly annoying.

    So it's true? They purposefully did this? I'm super heated if they did. That's completely ridiculous like tons of their other decisions. Although I won't argue with obvious things like Tinkerer being reduced to 70% because that makes sense. Freddy can still see generators locations when the dream projection targets but no hooks, are you serious? This can't be true. It's infuriating, outrageous and unacceptable most likely implemented by survivor biased butt dancing asswipes. I'm about to Fire up on the developers.

    They purposefully changed auras yes.

    I doubt this was a planned Nightmare shadow-nerf.

    Also try running surveillance on him if possible since white and yellow gens are easier to see in the dream world than red ones.

    The hooks aren't that bad but can ######### you up if you're not prepared unfortunately.

    So the auras are supposed to be getting a hotfix along with other things, so do not expect these to stay. They are made for a better aura system to help distictify with certain objects that may have been hard to see before. They did not expect it to be so hard to see, and the Devs are currently working to fix the problem as fast a possible.

    Yes, very good hopefully they're gen rushing the changes and prove themselves on borrowed time. The generator auras are practically invisible, and killers need hook auras to show after picking up. Decisive strike is enough of a hassle for dropping survivors after a long chase. There's no worse feeling than a survivor breaking free because you couldn't find the hooks with NO AURAS. There isn't even a diminished aura. I used to use surveillance and it with discordance is interesting. Tinkerer solves the problem sort of too. I have played a couple perfect games already with the changes as Freddy, but I can tell that this is a serious problem for less experienced killers. This drastically affects the ability to gen patrol properly, especially for regular killers that can't teleport. I understand they try to make things fair, but this game can be infuriating. I wish they would also change that lag delay glitch right before you enter bloodlust. So many bugs...so many changes....it's ridiculous. They should just start releasing bugs as killers like a spider or praying mantis in the spirit of Dead by Buglight. Another thing I disagree with is the hillbilly overheat and i'm not too impressed with the cannibal rework either of who I'm a continuous player. These changes and notes stress me out, and I'm never taking a stupid player survey again without getting payed in auric Cells. Sorry for the ramble, obviously I play this game too much.
