Excited about upcoming changes to ghostface and legion
The upcoming developer notes are rather exciting at least initial impressionwise. Ghost face having his counterplay mittigated is a massively needed fix and his speed boosting power add on is the right kind of payoff for an ability with both power and warning. This feels like the kind of changes that are really gonna give these killers a real chance. Or at the very least make playing them more exciting.
Legions up coming changes with the increased speed and cool payoff is also extremely exciting while it might be easy to counterplay by hugging a pallet and waiting to be hit (or just giant maps) its definatley exciting. Reduced stun duration means less signficant downtime being stunned for just using your power which is always a plus. Normally im very cynical but this is exactly the kind of changes players were looking for to freshen up the game and give us some real variety. Well done!

Agreed! Legion especially looks fantastic, I'm super excited to hop onto the PTB and try them out once it drops.
I'd love to see their new addons, too...

I'm excited for their chase music's if they even give one to ghostface

I'm very excited to see everyone's thoughts on them, once they've had a chance to play them.

I cannot wait too see the new add-ons!

It's the music that I want to see everyone's reactions to!
I've been so excited about this

Ah yes, the new music aswell! I imagine the mix tape add-ons would reflect their descriptions, that would be cool!
2 -
It would be cool though i wonder if it will be as easy to do since the killer is a license. The mixtapes for legion actually influenincg the music definatly adds some flare.

But, the real important question. Will there be new chase music?

Get a taste for what each indivigual legion members preference is.

I was, till I realized both are neutered by CoH. GF and Legion require hit and run. CoH doesn't allow that. After a week of playtime, I'm guessing their pickrates will fall off again at the higher level.

Personaly not looking forward to the legion changes. They absultly need it but I already hate facing them.
2 -
The music is always top notch. 🙂

Built in instadowns with improvement to hiding red stain and increased movement. Might be able to overcome coh but cohs power level is not a point you want to balance around (power creep). If the devs cant find a fair way to fix coh by buffing killers sufficiently then likely it will see further changes. Sloppy will be interesting to see post hemorage changes.

I hope ghostface got some new chase music as well.

I am "cautiously enthusiastic".
On paper the patch sounds great, but it is important how it later turns out to be in the game.
I hope to see something about it maybe by Oz. Otherwise I will see it later in ingame tests anyways.
For me it is only important that I can multistab someone while in frenzy, without getting stunned, a black screen, or whatever.
I know that is not much, but in multiplayer games we always have also to live with things we don't like and to be able to do that, I (at least) need a thing, or things, that make me fun and with that the circle ends again by the multistab thing :)

My take on the notes so far;
- As someone who didn't have any issue downing a Survivor in the 45 second window. I appreciate the buff to 60 seconds, it will be less stressful when I do have to chase a good survivor.
- Love that marked survivors can no longer reveal Ghost Face. As that is what I liked to do to him myself. Let him expose me, just to reveal that funky hitbox, and then run him for 2-3 gens. Making it more riskier, and giving Ghost face the advantage in a chase with a marked target is definitely going to create a significant difference.
- I am fearful for his Add-Ons. BHVR is notorious to using the excuse "We buffed not commonly used add-ons, but they are still useless - just so we could nerf the add-ons you use to balance the character". However the wording in this update is different "to bring them up to a similar power level". Which makes me hopeful they will not nerf his power cd add-ons. Also I would love to be able to use other add-ons than the power cd add-ons. Drop-Leg looks nice.
- "we’re giving them a stacking 0.2m/s speed boost for each Survivor they hit during Feral Frenzy." Yes
- "Additionally, a fifth hit will end your frenzy and put any Survivor into the dying state" YES
- "we’ve lowered the post-Feral Frenzy fatigue duration to 3 seconds" "We’ve also changed Feral Frenzy’s recharge to start as soon as it ends rather than after the fatigue" YAAASSS!!!
- I am excited to see new Add-Ons for Legion. Honestly as a Legion main whom I played since I started playing the game as my main Killer. I actually don't remember off hand what most of Legions add-ons does, other than "Break pallets while vaulting" "Extend frenzy" "Cause broken", and "Extend frenzy", because other than those add-ons the rest really were not that good.
- I don't like the new music in the clip. I don't really see myself using the Mixtapes, maybe I will depending on their effects. Anyways that's off topic. I don't like the new music. I was hoping for music that was more stress inducing. The music sounds great, feels like an AC/DC / Metallica concert, just not what I would of expected for a horror game. Maybe I am looking at it the wrong way, and it will be helpful that the survivors will be too distracted head-banging they run into a structure.
- I like the idea of a Hemorrhage rework. That might help with the heal meta. I mostly play with Sloppy Butcher anyways, so this is just going to make this perk slow the game down so much more. Also this buff indirectly buffs "A Nurses Calling" which I love, I always wanted to use that perk more, if only they would buff the range for Nurses's C.
- Difficulty Changes - noice. Haddonfield - Finally.
Overall A+ news, and I am excited again for a game update. Can someone answer me why Legion losing some of his power when he m1's was not removed? That seemed like a change everyone had been asking for, and very obviously shouldn't be apart of the Killer.
2 -
I just hope we don't get our power reduced for just an m1 attack. That's kinda dumb, right?
0 -
Is the change to the music only on the killer's side or is it also on the survivors? If it's on the survivor's side too, that would make it possible to determine the killer's add-ons by just listening to the chase music. I don't remember what each of the add-ons are so it might just be obvious that the killer has them equipped, but I don't know if that's a potential concern.
Other than that I'm excited about the new music and the remixes.

Really looking forward to Legion but i'm still a little skeptical about Ghostface. I fear Ghostface is still going to be utterly destroyed by an swf.

Im happy for the proposed changes but my copy of dbd will remain uninstalled. The other issues with the game far out weigh any incentive to come back.
CoH, mmr and hackers.

As a Legion main since I startet dbd I am so freaking excited even tho I know they won't spike up to the top they needed love and they got some.
Plus thx for also giving us that super cute new skin :3
Edit: would be nice if we could get a matching mask and knife for it

Ive been in that spot for a while now coh release was the final frustration for me before i took a long break. I'll definatly be coming back to test these changes because this is 100% the kind of exciting changes i was hoping for. Fun exciting changes that add to killers kits in way beyond just numbers.
Dbd big issues (giant maps are what kills me) will take time to iron out but changes like this are worth supporting even if it can be incredibly frustrating.
