To the people complaining about the lockers change
The aura blocking was needed in order to restore the core value of the game. Which is hide and seek. I feel the complaining is mainly coming from the B&C users. Just a friendly reminder that there was a time that myself and so many other killers didnt have B&C and all other aura reading perks we are spoiled with these days. There was plently of 4k games then and there will be plently more today. Please stop complaining about features that are restoring balance and fun to the game.
Thanks again Behaviour for a great Chapter. Loving it so far!

The core value is not hide and seek, it is chasing.
If the core value is stealth, we should might as well remove pallets and windows.

OoO, Alert, Bond, Empathy, After Care.. etc etc
Ok so killers are spoiled with BBQ, Bitter Murmur and Nurse Calling but also survivors are SPOILED with both perks reading and global notifications. so what?
So to keep it balanced survivors have to get MORE notifications than killers even if it's a 4v1 "hide and seek" game
Gotcha4 -
I love it. Along with Distortion (S Tier Imo). It’s so nice not having your position revealed because another survivor was caught.
I always loved playing stealthy, I don’t like being chased. Every Survivor should be running Distortion and utilizing lockers.1 -
It's pretty broken especially when 99% of aura readings can be countered perkless, it's just overkill give another counter which you just have to equip plus a dance with me into italtruistic said:I love it.

I am complaining a lot about this, because it is stupid and guess what? I hardly ever use BBQ.
The Aura read was to short for most killer anyway and there existed enough ways to counterplay it without even using a perk to do it, but survivor still cried havoc about FOUR seconds aura read.
Just a little reminder, the survivor version shows the killers aura for up to two MINUTES to all survivor, but hey, Kindred is a garbage perk no one uses, right?3 -
Hiding is not broken. Stealth is a valid and fun way to play the game. It doesn’t feel good getting sniped by an Omegablink Nurse or Doom Engravings Billy because they ran a perk.Malakir said:

I play stealthy too but this isn't the way to do it. Urban evasion, dance with me, iron will these are fine but give a free aura counter that you don't even have to use your brain it's dumb, ESPECIALLY when you can already do it without it, it's just overkill
It pisses me off that they give me a perk that makes dance with me trash compared since it's an anti aura reading with dance with me built in it3 -

Instead of giving free stuff like that why not a perk to cover your aura in lockers? So one can actually build a stealth build and sacrifice a perk slot like anyone taking iron will and Urban evasion2
-
The problem with buffing survivor stealth is that survivor looping hasn't been nerfed in anyway.
So what happens when these stealthy survivors are caught? They go straight to looping.
So the looping to waste a killers time is the same, but now survivors find it easier to hide so they can waste the killers time even more.3 -

Basically. The new player wave is just from the new DLC, it's to be expected.
It's quite annoying how most the counters we get as a killer we have to waste a perk slot while for survivors almost all killer perks/actions can simply be countered by playing differently and not even having to use a new perk, yet we still get complaints and get things like Distortion showing up. Like 7 counters for BBQ not even needing a perk wasn't enough.

Its not that good imo, sure you will be hidden but it only has 3 uses. Running bbq, nurses, bitter mirmor, or any arua revealing add-on can quickly use up their tokens on that perk. Some killers don't even use any arua reading perks so the perk goes to waste and some will shred that perk like Freddy, huntress, and myers, with add-ons.Malakir said:

sorry, the chase isn't the core of the game. given a competent killer and survivor, it's only a matter of time. survivors get their jobs done by not being found.
this locker change is great. don't like it, Run iron maiden. don't want to use a locker, run drugs distortion, or try to hide behind the generator aura.
there's play and counter play here. it's fine.1 -

Yeah I'm actually down for them increasing the capability of making stealth jukes/hides mid chase so we're not stuck in the pallet loop fiesta we have now. However, I wanted those to come with reduced pallet strength simultaneously, not on top of the current pallets we have.

Survivor should be afraid of getting caught, because getting chased should be bad for them, but in fact they enjoy it as "the game".The game is not designed around this. Finding survivors is easy since their objective is stationary. It is not because you are so good at the game that you find survivors, it is because their objective doesn't allow them. This is also the reason why they can actually take the game hostage at the end. In that large map, it is difficult to find survivors since you don't know where you should look at. To make this game about 'stealth' you have to change the entire game, from perks to main objectives, pallets and windows to map designs.
The devs themselves stated that the game will be around chases, not stealth.
If you really think that the game is about stealth, then this game is not for you at least for now.

@Malakir camping has and will always be an issue. Its down to the player and their playstyle. They can camp all they want while survivors power the gens and win the game. Thats their choice if they decide to do so. How long have we had B&C now and camping has still been rampant?

You don't seem to fundamentally understand why lots of camping is happening. The majority of the camping is happening because the game is unbalanced, not because players just want to.

Read the thread, I made this very clear. Many have said they never did but after the patch they will, guess what, I start to see people do that at the first hook even at red ranks
Cute tho how you totally ignored my answer before when I listed the amount of perks that survivors have as aura reading and how killers aura reading can be countered perkless but istantly answer when brought up camping3 -
@Malakir didnt ignore just didnt see it within the amount of people commenting. The devs know what they are doing. The change is in favour of balance whether you get upset about it or not. You patrol the gens like you are suppose to you will have no problem finding survivors. Enough said.

Sorry, but I still think you are wrong. Skilled survivor can evade the killer for a pretty long time and get things done without getting chased.
At some point getting chased is almost impossible to avoid, but if you can avoid getting chased -and potentially downed and hooked- for a longer period it gives you an edge at the late game, because you denied the killer his objective (getting hooks).
(If you can't maybe that is a you-issue.)
The survivor should try to avoid the "big bad", but since the killer is not a real threat to good looper, they do not play stealthy.
Stealth also generates less points and since the real reward is not surviving, it isn't well liked.
If survivor would rank up on surviving alone, you would see a big increase in stealth play.If you wanna tell me that the Devs said the game is around chases instead of stealth, you have to give a source to it.

@MuteNewt said:
The aura blocking was needed in order to restore the core value of the game. Which is hide and seek.No.
When Dead by Daylight first came out it was said to have been inspired by games like Hide and Seek and Tag. In the months following release, most people overwhelmingly demonstrated that they vastly prefer the "Tag" part to the "Hide and Seek" ("Immmmmeeeerrrrssssseeedddd!") part.
The reason being that the Chase is where the most of the interactivity and play-and-counterplay come in and when you play the game like it's Splinter Cell you are mostly frustrating (=boring) the Killer and turning the game into a single-player game.The reason Stealth gets a lot of grunts and growls from us Killers is because Stealth in this game is completely out of whack.
In your mind as a Survivor you might think that Stealth is a contest of skill and cleverness on the Survivor's part versus the Killer's attentiveness, a discerning eye and a sharp mind that can deduce which hiding spot the Survivor is in.
In truth, none of those things are ever factors in DBD Stealth play, at least for Killers. First, because of the way things like sounds were implemented in this game (occlusion, X/Y, sound direction, volumes and the goddamn chase music blasting Killers' ears are all things that keep getting broke one way or another - this in a game where sound is so important).
Second, because finding a hidden Survivor isn't at all about deducing likely, possible or clever hiding spots.Let's do a "test", yeah? in a particular area you might have the shack (so four walls with three openings, gen in the middle, basement, stairway, basement inner wall, six lockers), a jungle gym next to it (four walls with three-four openings, another short wall behind them, two lockers), a large rock, a few trees with tall grass patches between them and a couple of short walls adjacent to the map's outer wall just behind the shack itself. On the other side there's also some low walls (no pallet, just debris) and a tire pile (about as tall as a standing Survivor).
Tell me where the Survivor is hiding - I picked a spot in my head and I will commit to it, but you have to guess.The real answer to this "riddle" is that it doesn't matter what your guess might be, as one or more Survivors could be hiding in literally any of these spots - or none of them. There is no Sherlock Holmes-y aspect to searching for a hidden Survivor - you either randomly find them or you don't, they're either there or they're not.
Stealth play can be exciting for a Survivor... for a time, here and there, in small doses. But if the Survivor persists and remains overly stealthy, the only thing that happens is that you're boring the F out of the Killer. They're playing a single-player game now, one that is essentially a walking simulator with no story or interactivity.
Stealth is the opposite of interactivity - it's denying interactivity. It's refusing to interact. It's trying your hardest not to play the actual game that takes place between players instead of the singleplayer game between a player and the M1 button on a generator.

I've been playing this game since 2016.Not sure what your point is, except to complain about BBQ & Chili, which has several counters any Survivor can use to escape it (remind me, what's the counter to Object of Obsession? Oh yeah, there isn't one - 'cause balance, right?), plus the fact that most Killers can't use the knowledge BBQ gives them in time to do anything about it. Only Nurse and Billy can and even they can just get juked before they get there unless the Survivor just sits there.
@MuteNewt said:
There was plently of 4k games then and there will be plently more today. Please stop complaining about features that are restoring balance and fun to the game.So in your eyes, an SWF that brings someone with Object of Obsession (and aura-range-increasing effects) who goes locker hopping every time they use their wallhacks on you is fun and balanced.
It's fun to be constantly monitored by a coordinated group of gen rushing hiders. AND IT'S BALANCED.
It's fun to try and mindgame a Survivor during a chase, only for that Survivor to be told exactly what the Killer is doing at any given time, thus defeating the mindgame through actual cheating (we're going to touch back on the anti-SWF-on-comms argument due to the part in the game rules that says you cannot use 3rd party software to gain in-game advantages). AND IT'S BALANCED.
It's fun to play a Killer who is designed to be stealthy and have the entire stealth element taken from you. AND IT'S BALANCED.I'll not say the two words that come to mind right now because I'm trying to be as diplomatic as I can, so I'll just say that the next F-word featuring in my mind right now isn't "FUN".
Honestly, why are you even playing a multiplayer game at this point?
Just play Splinter Cell or Thief or Dishonored or something. Thief: The Dark Project was an amazing stealth game - go play that.1 -
You do realize that the devs made BBQ for survivors right? So that in hopes killers would camp less... if stealth is too strong what fun is the killer having just walking around the map?MuteNewt said:@altruistic said:

Why should I be punished because another Survivor was caught?
I can say as easily BBQ is “braindead” if I wanted to. You caught someone else, hooked them, and now you can see where I am or am not. Why? You didn’t find me, chase me, or down me. Why am I punished? I played well enough up to that point to avoid you. Where is my reward? Thankfully, I have one now.
It’s been very nice playing tbh. Enjoying Survivor a lot more than I did this past year.

If DBD was all around stealth, then Doctor would be the best killer of the game, as he constantly ignores survivors is attempts at hiding. But he isn't, because the game is around the interaction between the killer and the survivors.
Stealth might be fun, but as the trial continues, the game will start to get lackluster, since you only crouch and hold M1 for the rest of the game. The only time you can interact with the killer is in the chase, where the most skilled player will succeed. Stealth denies this interaction, as the killer will enter a walking simulator, and survivors a M1 simulator.

Why should I be punished because another Survivor was caught?
I can say as easily BBQ is “braindead” if I wanted to. You caught someone else, hooked them, and now you can see where I am or am not. Why? You didn’t find me, chase me, or down me. Why am I punished?
- Because you are a team.
- Because it is a supernatural game. The killer is not human, he gets lead by the entity.
- Is it ok for you that the killer gets punished when the survivor do unsafe unhooks? Unhook Invu frames, free exhaustion relief, improved BT?
- Since when is 4 seconds to spot and evaluate multiple auras with several counterplayoptions considered "braindead"?

People that rely on BBQ now gonna think everyone is around the fresh hook, and are going to camp
if you're fine with that then ...2 -
Welp, lockers will now block auras both ways.
But don't complain about features that are restoring balance and fun to the game, right?1 -
@altruistic people will defend this perk to the death because they can't play without it. They fail to see the point being that killers got 4ks before the perk was even introduced. Including myself! People are very quick to blame the game first before their own lack of skill. It's hilarious! No common sense will be seen. Seriously very good points you brought up.

And you do realise camping has never gone away? And it won't purely on the fact it's a choice made by the player. And the fact killers were wiping out teams without b&c before it was introduced. The game is being brought back to a balanced state and nobody can see that with all their flapping in a blind panic .Bravo0413 said:
You do realize that the devs made BBQ for survivors right? So that in hopes killers would camp less... if stealth is too strong what fun is the killer having just walking around the map?MuteNewt said:@altruistic said:
I love it. Along with Distortion (S Tier Imo). It’s so nice not having your position revealed because another survivor was caught.I always loved playing stealthy, I don’t like being chased. Every Survivor should be running Distortion and utilizing lockers.
And not to mention being the last one alive and having the killer know your position instantly? This brings balance back. People are gonna defend B&C to the death,. But I get it because its extremely useful. The games are still very winnable with this tiny adjustment and balance with locker reading.
