You proved me wrong Devs! (QnA)
Imo that was actually a pretty good QnA, one of the best they've had. That's restored a noticeable amount of faith in the devs.
They actually gave stuff to look forward to (clown teaser, wraith buff) and their stance on certain topics.
One question though, why Demo for the next adjustment after huntress add on pass? Demo while not being incredibly strong is one of the more balanced and well designed killers in the game aside from the god awful hitboxes. I would've thought maybe Plague, Hag or Michael, as they are much more problematic from a design perspective than Demo.

Totally agreed on it being an excellent Q&A. Most of the answers were good, there was humour, and they gave us stuff to look forward to while keeping expectations realistic about other stuff.
Thanks, devs! Unironically.

They basically did say "we are looking into it" though. Multiple times.
And they technically did answer a few Lore questions.
But honestly? Other than all of Ethan's answers (as per usual) the Qna was decent.

Hag I feel is fine as is, Myers is, yeah, kind of outdated, but Plague is really fine. I'm not a fan of her on either side, but she's healthy for the game (ironic).
Demo isn't balanced, no matter what people say. His portals are mediocre and not worth the time it takes to set up. He's essentially just an M1 killer with global audio queues and a longer lunge that can save STBFL stacks. He's in desperate need of a change

#########, I missed the stream because I was playing Hitman 2. Can someone link me to it?

"Demo while not being incredibly strong is one of the more balanced and well designed killers in the game aside from the god awful hitboxes. "
They said that Demo will only get slight Tweaks. I agree that Demo is in a good Spot, he is pretty underrated. I guess Tweaks would be to make Rat Liver Basekit (this was said that they are looking into that a few months ago), some Add On-Reworks and maybe change some stuff when it comes to his Stealth (being Undetectable) after coming out of a Portal.
Who knows. I guess the Changes to Demo will be really minor.

I would say that demo is one of the next with Huntress since their base kits are fine it's just small tweaks and add-ons that need to be done they could probably knock those two out of the way at the same time in one patch so they can put more effort into other problematic killers, that's just my thoughts for their reasoning and I could be way off though lol

I did feel as if it was a decent stream, though I noticed they ignored any questions about that early game mechanic idea, so that's kinda taking any hope I have for that to happen.
But as a Wraith main, I never thought the day would come.

Yea. That was one thing I noticed too.
Multiple people even asked about it.

Where can i find the stream right now? I completely forgot and I want to see what they said.

Possibly fix for the worst FPS drops :D

It's more likely they have nothing they can share about the early game mechanic right now. The early game mechanic is likely still in a concept state and they don't have anything concrete they can share about it. Contrast to the fact Clown's update is coming soon (this upcoming mid-chapter) and they aren't likely going to drastically change it within the next month so they are okay with sharing what they have for it right now.

Exactly. I would've been happy with the usual, "Yeah, it's coming, no ETA though" answer they usually give, but nothing.

Starts at about 21 minutes.

Can someone do one of those "I wrote out the whole Q&A thing so you don't have to watch it" posts? I would be most grateful.

Ty!

That's a fair assessment, I just would've liked a "Yeah, it's still happening." All I can do is hope.

If half of the stuff mentioned or hinted at goes through (demo add-ons, huntress add-ons, frame drop fix, clown buff, wraith buff, Freddy nerf, ds nerf) I'll be happy
0 -
Yeah this stream was pretty good imo
I'm pretty excited to see Clown's changes. :)
0 -
I feel Demo in a good spot having its strong and weak points, but the majority of his add-ons are garbage. Rat liver/tail, mews guts, and maybe deer lungs are worth using. 2 browns and 1 yellow/green.

I'm really hoping they're finally seeing their faults.

When they said they are planning to re-balance Freddy because his kill rate has been far above other killers consistently for a year, that made me happy.
But this question was the most important one they addressed;
2 -
Because Demo is a boring Killer. His pick rate shows that nobody really plays him. His "jack of all trades" power comes back to bite him. Wanna play a Killer with a ranged power? Why play Demo when you can play Huntress or DeathSllinger? Wanna play a sneaky Killer? Why play Demo over Myers or GhostFace?
You get the picture. Demo just doesn't offer anything unique and subsequently, his pick rate is low.

Everyone for the past month since Twins dropped on the PTB: This Killer is awful, they're unfun as hell to play against because all they can ever do is slug and camp, they're terrible viability-wise, their power doesn't work, you shouldn't be able to kill the Killer, can you please fix this living travesty?
Almo (translated from BHVRese): No. Have fun :)

That has happened with every single killer release, so it's not surprising that that's the answer.

Myers does feel a little outdated but Plague? I honestly feel like Plague is a great killer with amazing potential. I don’t think she needs any changes. This is coming from someone who used to main Plague back on her release. I still love Plague but I’m bored of her :/

Personally I thought this Q&A was a bit lame, had also to do they brought back old questions which were answered a couple of times before or questions that was allready been adressed earlier this week.
They can't change licensed killers because they have to get permission from the owner before doing so.
Which will take time depending on how the owner is, look at freddy for example.
I really hope they do a buff for my Wraith and not buff him and applying a bigger nerf to him.
But we'll see once they show something tho

What are the lore questions they answered to?
I watched the whole stream and don't remember any of it.
0 -
what's wrong with Michael?
0 -
I'm fine with a second slugging oriented killer.
0 -
Thing is, you can CLEARLY tell this Killer was designed with Survivor fun in mind, and they couldn't even do THAT right, because this Killer has no choice but to be the sluggiest in the game. No one likes slugging. People have been whining about how unfun slugging is since 2016. And all this Killer can do is slug.
0 -
But what about Oni? I don't hear many complaints on him.
0 -
Tbh with how much noise he makes, he should just be stealth all the time.
0 -
It’s because once Oni gets the ball rolling, the game is over. He’s not forced spend twelve years slugging like the Twins are.
He also has the option to do stuff other than slugging. Twins literally have to do it because Victor physically cannot pick people up.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

This hurts me.
@Orion Stream summary is now pinned if you still need it, alternatively the proper stream is here
In case you still needed it too

Demo is a good choice..hes performing low but is well loved from a design view..so he's safe to change for now..some of the others may need more work
