Reduce loop safety
BHVR, please reduce the loop safety you have been secretly increasing.
As you know, the game is not balanced.
Your attempt to increase loop safety and prolong the time of each chase is a problem that is closely related to "generators are too fast" and "healing is too fast".
It widens the gap between killers with excellent power and M1 killers that do not.
In the 2019 summer, you had a much more intelligent and impartial perspective than we have now.
Pallets are rated based on the length of the loop around them. A longer loop is safer for Survivors, giving them a larger margin for error. Shorter loops allow for more skill-based play, where Killers can change directions to either hit the Survivor or force them to drop the pallet sooner.
This allows us to spawn more unsafe pallets and fewer safe pallets while keeping the overall loop budget the same, promoting more skill-based gameplay. While the total number of pallets may be slightly higher than before, most pallets will be more interactive and can be dealt with faster than before. Additionally, randomly spawning objects will not appear along these loops, ensuring that a generator or hook cannot extend the loop.
