Kindred Rework and Base Game Feature
Thanks to Scott, it needs another bump in the forums.
Base Feature - While a survivor is on a hook, all other survivors see each other's auras.
- Kindred - Whenever the Killer is within 16 meters of your Hook, their Aura is revealed to all Survivors. All other survivors gain a 5/7/9% bonus to healing, cleansing, repairing, and unhooking speed while the Killer's aura is revealed by Kindred and if they are within 16 meters of your Hook.
- Whenever the Killer is within 16 meters of a hooked Survivor, their Aura is revealed to you. You gain a 5/7/9% bonus to healing, cleansing, repairing, and unhooking speed while the Killer's aura is revealed by Kindred or if they are within 16 meters of a hooked Survivor.
- The bonus speed gained from Kindred does not stack with other instances of Kindred.

You forgot all the killer buffs he mentions there. I don't mind this, if killers get what they deserve

I'm not OK with it becoming basekit because then BBQ has to become base kit to counter it... survivors should not get free aura readings just for playing the game. Neither should killer.

FOV slider for killers, where max setting would be like current shadowborn tier 3 and you can have this kindred basekit

I'm all for kindred basekit (along with a bunch of other stuff for both sides) but I don't like the idea of increasing repair speed with it since this can be taken advantage of by survivors by looping the killer near a hook or while the killer leaves the hook after hooking somebody, even if they have no intention to camp.

Not a fan of basekit Kindred. Kindred is brought multiple times (as a perk) only to watch teammates twiddle their thumbs and ponder about doing a gen or crouching behind a rock, while leaving a teammate to reach 2nd phase hook or to die.

Right I was looped last week around a survivor on a Hook from 1st hook to death by his teammate and I was accused of Camping the hook.

O look its a loop the killer around the hook for extra gen rush speed! That has totally never backfired repeatedly and been abused on the PTB! /sarcasm
You can never add in a proximity based "Punish the killer" Mechanic to the game as every attempt that has ever been done has been abused by survivors to the point that they had to be removed...The devs tried repeatedly too.
Finally I'd rather have the killer's aura reveal just be added to dark sense if it was separated from the survivor aura.

I would actually be down for this change however there needs to be a stipulation that if there are any other survivors by the hook you don't gain speed boosts.
If the killer is just mindless camping they should be punished however if the killer is clearly defending the hook from someone who is hook diving they shouldn't be punished

Love that idea really cool!

Survivors seeing eachothers aura by basekit seems fine to me.
The increase in speed added to kindred is going to be so abused though. Hooking somebody in basement shack means a survivor can run the killer around shack having full aura read on them while the rest of the team does gens faster.
For a basement hook. That's suppose to be advantage for the killer.

Agreeing with others here- deactivate the generator repair speed if there are other survivors nearby and/or the killer is in a chase, and this would probably work. It'd need testing though- any attempt at punishing camping seems to start backfiring somewhere along the line.

No to buffs based on proximity. You know how everyone hates CoH applying to multiple floors in certain areas? This would be the exact same scenario. Same with the PTB anti-camp test done in the past. The auras showing I think would be totally fine though.

Please devs just copy his patch
and fix the mmr
needs to be more advanced then just escapes and kills

Okey this might sound like the biggest noob question but I never used shadowborn can you tell me what I get from having this perks like can I really see more or what is it

Its a quality of life issue. Default FOV is 87 in this game which is absolute tunnel vision for no reason.
FOV with shadowborn is 102, which is pretty okayish FOV but it costs you perkslot.

Survivors don't need buffs at this stage first they need to buff killers. Then solo survivors could see other survivors auras as basekit. Kindred could be see the killer up to 16 meters from the hook but no penaltys for being there for the killer. Protecting hooks or gens is fair just like doing totems and gens you can't punish those things.

imagine wanting a joke implemented into the game
