Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

This Will be my Last Post, and it's about Nemesis

After this post, I'm deciding to leave this forum for good. No matter how much any of us try, nothing will get to these people, or at least, the ones that give a damn. But hey, I might as well go out with one last Nemesis thread before I leave, because he's the Killer I've criticized so much in the past and he's the Killer that's disappointed me the most in the game because of how weak and unfinished he truly is.

And if there's actually a developer or two with some integrity left in their person reading this, hell, responding to this, you at least have my respect.

This is my last post, and it's balance changes for Nemesis that should have been in the game since the beginning.

The Nemesis

Zombies

  • Quality of Life: Zombie pathfinding has been improved so that they stay 0.2 meters away from all solid objects.
  • Quality of Life: Zombie pathfinding has been further adjusted so that they stay 0.4 meters away from corners.
  • Quality of Life: If a zombie remains inactive for more than 30 seconds, they are instantly destroyed and replaced with a new zombie on a hook furthest from them.
  • Buff: Zombies now react to the sound of Tentacle Strike within a 24 meter range.

  • Buff: Tentacle Strike attack cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds in Mutation III.
  • Quality of Life: Earning Mutation III now plays a quieter booming sound.

  • Nerf: Vaccines now provide a 30 second immunity to Contamination when applied.

Licker Tongue

  • Nerf: No longer causes Survivors to receive the Exposed Status Effect from Vaccines. It's pretty obvious why.

Removed Add-Ons

  • Adrenaline Injector, Jill's Sandwich, NE-a Parasite

Anyway, I'm out of here. I'll probably check in for the next day or two to see how this thread pans out, but after that, I'm working on my own crap instead of trying to focus upon a game (and Killer) that many of the developers, based from what I'm seeing, don't truly care about.

But, here's my challenge to any developer reading this. Tell your colleagues to try this out and make a PTB of it. Just slap it together and see what it does.

I guarantee you that Nemesis will feel like the full character we deserve, with these changes.
