I am staggered by how many people don't like the removal of BP bonuses from WGLF/BBQ.

    Have to agree, the grind is / always has been a problem, but, players shouldn't have to sacrifice a perk slot to fix something which should be changed by the devs for everyone. Going forward, it'll be nice to play with 4 perks, instead of 3.

    The thing is, by removing the BP bonus from BBQ you are going to increase the amount of camping/tunnelling that takes place. Old BBQ had a strong incentive to ensure that the killer made sure to hook each survivor at least once, usually as quickly as possible to ensure that they got full stacks.

    Now? No reason to spread out hooks, camp away!

    Because the option should have still been there.

    But the thing is that the new system without BBQ is a lot slower compared to the current system for most people. I don’t think anyone would have an issue with it if they actually reduced the grind.

    I don't have an issue with removing those bonuses from perks. Like they said, the current iteration causes you to feel the need to have BBQ at all times or you're getting halved points.

    The solution is to bake them into the base game, not to remove the bonus and leave everyone with the crap BP gain they were desperate to avoid in the first place.

    Both the bonuses encourage better, more fun gameplay for everyone as well. BBQ encourages you to try to hook everyone which naturally disincentivises tunneling and camping. WGLF rewards you for helping your teammates in safe ways, giving them the better experience of safer unhooks or being protected while injured.

    Having these as a base mechanic would overall be a positive thing both for gameplay and the grind, and just deleting them entirely shows the devs disconnection from their own players.

    I mean I guess if they broke every marathon runner's kneecaps in order to compete, it would shake up the world of sports, but I would still prefer the old ways thank you very much.

    The bonus BP from the perk should've been basekit rather than removed

    The aura reading from BBQ also promoted leaving the hook because you know where to go. Expect to see a lot more camping after the update. They never should’ve touched it, it hurts both sides

    I barely use those perks. I only use them when I want bloodpoints.
