Chase Rework

I thought about changing the chase mechanic into avoiding the chase instead of extending it (Looping)

The only change i've come up Is a stamina system

While running your stamina bar will decrease until It's empty and you cannot run while it has run out

You can regain it by simply walking or standing still or by hiding in a locker

Hiding in a locker would re-fill the bar faster than any other method.

    IIRC, this is what DBD was originally supposed to have but this was changed in favor of infinite sprinting.

    This could be interesting, but everything else would have to be changed. Either scratch marks or bloodpools or cries of pain would have to go, which would then mandate plenty of perk adjustments to accommodate this...

    The issue of the imbalance between killer/survivor isn't the base game itself, but rather the survivor perks. They are generally much more OP than killer's best perks and sometimes totally negate the way a killer should play. If the game had no perks it'd be much more balanced.

    The devs have to do something with The chase mechanic It's honestly just run in random places and camp pallets in low ranks and loop the killer for 20 minutes in high ranks, They need to make the chase mechanic to AVOID the chase and not extending it That's literally the point of the mechanic And you would do the same if DBD was real and you're a survivor lol

    Sounds like a bad idea, not trying to be rude.

    Its not fun playing against immersed players that are just hiding and dying in a few sec in a chase. I rather would go against 4 comp loopers than 1 immersed claudette.

    I'd agree with that, I don't enjoy searching the map for players that are constantly hiding.

    The fun part of the game for me is the chases, and I think that's a pretty popular opinion from many players.

    God please no, there is a reason I never give blendettes hatch, and its cause immersed survivors are the absolute most boring experience in the entire game bar non. I'd rather get gen rushed with bnps and and 4 man key escaped at 4 minutes then change the meta into a hide and seek one.
