These were the Ghostface changes?

Not to be negative about the changes but this just feels super lazy, especially considering this was talked about multiple updates ago. Exposed for 15 extra seconds? The exposed person can't reveal you? Getting exposed by the person you were chasing was already not a common occurence.

Legion changes are great imo, at least not awful, but ghostface changes just feel so underwhelming, this is what the hard work consisted of?

    This is what he needed, though?

    Being revealed less often (which in fairness, the reveal logic will probably still need tuning), better utility, and addons that are actually worth running. He's getting all of those, he didn't need anything more than that.

    However exposed survivors can't expose Ghostface. I find the changes really good quality of life updates that Ghosty needed and the new add-on that speeds him up by 10% has a ton of potential.

    Not only can you now blitz survivors if stalk them from a close enough range, you now have an on demand speed boost if you 99 survivors stalk meter.

    I am aware but if these were the changes that he was getting, they should've been received a long time ago. I think it is super disappointing that this was talked about months ago as like a big deal and it is just basic buffs. I'm not complaining he received those because I definitely agree they help, but it just feels weird it was made out to be like a big "ghostface update" coming and it is a pretty normal buff that should be more common place for most killers.

    I totally agree they were needed and they were good changes. My only complaint is the fact this was made out to be such a big deal. A "ghostface update"? He just got some normal buffs, I'm just disappointed that normal buffs like this are considered to be grandeur when they should be way more commonplace.

    ...Were they? I'm pretty sure all we were told is that Ghosty and Legion were being looked at for changes, I don't recall it being talked up as a big update at all.

    The community took it and ran, obviously, but all we were told is that Ghosty was being looked at, and since all he needed was normal buffs I think it was a fair assumption that he was going to get normal buffs.

    I agree. The first I heard of this mystical update and the Legion update, it was made out to be awesome reworks or massive buffs.

    These are just quality of life changes that need to happen WAY more frequently for all killers. Of course we can't overtune killers but put weaker one's in much more comfortable spots. I adore Legion and Ghostface so I love these changes but more would have been very much possible

    I guess I am just disappointed that a normal set of changes like this isn't just a normal thing. Hearing about this for months and then just receiving essentially some number changes? I'm still excited but it just makes me sad that work like that takes apparent months to do.

    it is for 5 seconds.... 5 seconds is almost nothing.

    Legion changes are great. ghostface changes might as well be QOL.

    Maybe add-on for ghostface are really good?

    5 seconds is everything in a chase and much mode when the survivor doesn't even know you're there. Then again at this point in the game, it's either good or useless so we'll see.

    This is entirely on you and the community that blew this up. All that BHVR said is that they had been running some internal buffs to both legion and ghostface and that they would be released when those changes were ready to be released.


    Yes, even simple changes require refinement before they go live. Especially for legion. Legion has in the past had mechanics that were incredibly easy to abuse and were absolutely awful to verse.

    Dude those new add on changes sound GOOD, like holy shiz *GOOD*

    I really feel like these changes are just a little bit too much ... Almost to the point of literal handholding.

    5 seconds is a massive amount of time. It's going to be borderline broken for Ghostfaces who know how to be sneaky and a pretty good crutch for bad Ghostfaces.

    I think the new changes are nice

    ADdons for GF and legion both needed love (especially GF) and legion really needed that reduction to fatigue and the extra speed for chain hitting is really nice.

    Obviously we haven't seen all the changes yet but if the new addons for them are good they are probably in a decent spot with these changes.

    I didn't even blow it up, personally I didn't think it was gonna be like a full rework, hell Idk what exactly I was expecting. Legion definitely was worth it, the changes are awesome and show some work was put in them, and while again I'm totally fine with the ghostface changes and I'm excited, I can't help but think how this was apparent months of work. If there was even something more complex to do with the ghostface changes I wouldn't feel this way but the changes are so...like normal lmao why is it a "ghostface update" if it is just a simple QoL number and addon buff he has needed for years lmao
