    A lot. I didn't play huntress since his release, except for achieves. Kind of sad what they did to him.

    Come friend there are great vistas of frustration and suffering to inflict on survivors. Embrace cenobite reject cowboy. Legit tho in preparation for the changes i have been playing more huntress and pinhead.

    I have zero hope there gonna be able to salvage slinger. This is looking like athe modern freddy incident where they nerfed og freddy when he was performing poorly anyways.

    egh, good changes, Wraith didnt get gutted, i ghostface now has add on slots. Im absolutely worried about boon totems tho.


    in terms of character, eh, Mikaela reid looks like an average teen on their emo phase. it is interesting tho that she actually has powers and stuff.

    all in all, thanks McLean.

    What changes did you want to see on Wraith? i dont remember you explaining that much in my thread not so long ago.

    I do enjoy killers that are fast, lethal, take a lot of practice to be good at, and have a lot of freedom in usage of their abilities. I almost never play anyone besides Nurse, Blight, Slinger and Oni. So Pinhead is just not my killer. But I will switch back to Huntress if slinger's nerf will go through.

    Personally, I'm conflicted. I feel a lot of changes are positive and some of the buffs the perks and add-ons received across Killers and Survivors are good additions that may make me feel more fluid when using them. I'm not 100% my position about Boon totems, in theory they seem interesting, in execution I am not sure where to stand... I feel they'd need a few tweaks before going live -- Circle of Healing may be the only one I consider using because I have a healing build in my Quentin and it seems like a strong addition to his kit.

    I didn't use Trapper or Plague. So, I'm not fazed by their buffs, but I'm glad people that use them will have something to look forward to and possibly get to enjoy them more. Spirit I didn't use either and from a neutral point of view, I feel this change is generally positive, but it may use not being as loud as it is in PTB. I understand how frustrating it was to face the Spirits that faked Phase-Walking and this effectively removes that as a tactic, but it also seems distracting from both points of view for how loud it is...

    Finally, I'm really disappointed with the Slinger changes. He was the only Killer I enjoyed playing since I got him last December and I wanted to be positive and think these changes could add a few changes to his play style and keep him reliable, but they effectively gutted him and made him so frustrating to use that I don't think I will touch him again if the changes go live in their current state.

    Would've liked to see some Add-ons be changed to have their own abilities like Vanity Mirror, Scarred Hand, the new Trapper Sack, stuff like that.

    And i would've liked to see his Teachables get complete reworks except maybe Shadowborn, some people still do very much like this QoL Perk.


    Nothing with Wraith himself really: I thought he was great before his big buff, before this nerf on PTB & i'll still like him afterwards.

    Quite excited. Despite concerns about Boon totems being a bit OP and the fact that there are so many changes (meaning so many more bugs), I haven't looked forward to an update this big in a while. Boon totems are very interesting so can't wait to try out those.

    In fact the update is so big there's even going to be a few surprises for me since I haven't even checked out all the new/updated addons.

    As long as boon totems dont overshadow the killer addon buffs...if boons end up overpowered then the killer buffs wont mean anything to balance the game.

    boon totems. i am a survivor main but are poor killers don't stand a chance meaning it isn't fun for them. if the game isn't fair then i don't get a challenge. aka i don't have fun, i think bhavr has killed there game if they release boons like they are now. also the buffed vigil increases the use of the infinite sprint burst. also built to last now makes gen rushing broken by giving back addons like brand new part every time you use it. the one change i like is the buff to my favorite perk no mither

    Mostly dreading.

    Boon Totems look like they'll be busted. At the very least, it'll kill any sort of hit and run Killer gameplay that's still possible. That's my favorite way to play killer so... really worried about these. But on the flip side... these Boon totems are something I'd love to run as a Survivor... but in their current state, I won't touch them for the same reason I wouldn't touch Spirit before this patch. In short, I'm really hoping their range gets reduced to like... 8 or 12 meters. That should keep them from being ridiculous but still useful.

    Deathslinger looks like he got severely nerfed with almost no compensation. Which is doubly dumb because the changes might have just deleted the reasons to pick him over Huntress, and honestly he was good but not overpowered even a little... so flat nerfs shouldn't have been what happened.

    They deleted the entire purpose of Hex: Thrill of the Hunt for no reason.

    I'll freely admit, there's a lot good about this patch... but the bad parts are so bad that they could easily completely override the good.
