It's been over a year how's the state of the game?

I left from ps4 to pc around nemesis release and since there was no cross progression I didn't try to play/purchased the game. I felt so angry at the game at the end and I started wanting to see if cross progression came out which it seems it hasn't. How is the general health of the game? I remember before I left people been talking about boon totems being op and calling for a bunch of nerfs which seems to be the same.

    As always game is fun for swf groups. Solo and killer are an absolute stress induced nightmare. Stay clear if you're smart.

    Has tunneling and camping ever not been the meta? 🤣

    I'm curious to see if it'll happen more or less after the changes. My guess is killer mains will try to be more aggressive with it and it'll probably happen more often for awhile then feel like the same old thing again.

    They've always been meta, but there have been many times where they were just "a" meta and not "the" meta. This certainly isn't the worst iteration of balance the game has seen (far from it) but it is one of the more restrictive balances the game has seen for quite a while.

    I haven't seen any matches from the PTB. Are killers really doing it more now that it has become "the" meta? Are the changes so different that they fill the need to just make this the norm to counter them? This doesn't sound very promising for a survivor main like me. 😐️

    Tunneling and Camping was always the best way to play the game as Killer, if you are fine with it being boring to play, but getting the results.

    Now it just gets buffed with the next Patch.

    I'm worried at the idea of the 2 things survivor mains complain about the most in this game getting any kind of buff. If this is true, its not going to sit well when all this goes live. This is going to be interesting to see how players respond to it.

    Read the patch notes and decide for yourself

    I am getting tryhard SWFs relatively often that I can't deal with and have to enjoy with around 2-3 hooks per match of course 0 kills. These matches are so frustrating. Even high-skilled killer (especially if they play as feet-walking killers without map pressure) in most cases loses if they facing really good SWFs. I don't think matchmaking system thinks that I can win battles like these. I suppose System tries to keep average kill-rate around 2 per match. So it gives matches that almost guarantees 0 or in good case 1 kill.

    Well, I have around of 1500 hrs, of course I understand why this problem even exists but c'mon. Almost one year after SBMM release. Why they don't fix this? Well I know: this game is survivor-sided, not for solo/duo tho but for full stacks. Killer is the clown to entertain them.

    With new balance on 6.1.0 killers will get considerable buffs, but this will not affects on SWFs alot, but solo will be suffering even more.

    wasnt talking as much about the ptb as the last 9 months or so. CoH really made a lot of killers need to secure their downs and kills as fast as possible to be able to keep up with pressure, either due to their skill level or character/loadout/etc viability. Some killers like Wraith got hit twice with nerfs on top of their primary playstyle being essentially nullified.

    As a general rule of thumb that is a bad question to askin the forums.

    People come here to vent. Most of the responses are going to be negative no matter the state of the game.

    Personally i am enjoying the game. Lot's of changes coming up too so it will atleast be quite different from when you left

    No worries bruh, after new patch crossprogression is not needed because of the grind reduction.

    It was advertised as -75% grind, but effectively it will increase it by roughly +32% if you ran BBQ/WGLF previously, but the best part is - these numbers DO NOT include prestige fee of 20k!

    So tbh - don't come back :)
