The loading screen giveaway...

As much anonymity as the the game advertises before trail. ("YOU WONT KNOW WHO YOU'RE UP AGAINST UNTIL THE TRAIL STARTS"). I'm sure a great deal of people read the the pre trail messages to find out who they're up against. Which is fine, but I think it should be revised just a little. I wouldn't go as far as saying remove the killer giveaways ( but would be totally for it), maybe give the killer some helpful hints like ~~~ " looking in the direction of survivers notifies them and makes skill check success zones smaller. " ~~~ or ~~~ " some survivors will reenter the injured state if left in the dying state for too long. "

KILLERS might as well pop a squat next to the campfire with survivors and change clothes in front of each other too.

I'm just saying knowing who the killer is before we even load in defeats the purpose of hiding killers in the lobby. Killers gotta figure out 16 different perks ( Although in the higher ranks you'd think their are only 7 to mix and choose from) maybe a little hint? .

But to be fair survivors should be able to at least get a game plan in the first moments of the game too. The killer does get to look at their items and use their zoom features on their respective screens to spot keys.

    They are only up when you first ( I think it may be a bit more but its finite) go against that killer. After that, they dont show up anymore.

    That cue is given for the first 2 (iirc) times you face that particular killer. It's not really an issue.

    Well then thank you for that. I won't pretend they always appear. Maybe I just haven't played these killers enough with the new batch of killers I'm running into. (See other post already on progress)

    I think those tips should be moved to the tutorial section instead of the loading screen. That way new players can read up the basics of the killers they are facing, and the killer can keep their anonymity.

    Those go away when you break like...rank 17?

    They're newbie tooltips.

    The hints telling you which killer you are facing are only for your first few games against them. So it's more of a new player thing.
