Santa, please make Thanatophobia proc for dead survivors

The biggest problem in this perk is that for the majority of the game, it's working for 0 or 1 survivors. If dead survivors proc it, at least it would have a ramp up even though it will take a long while to get there.

    It would make sense, after all, thanatophobia means fear of death, not fear of injuries. And maybe the perk would be viable, maybe.

    And you can only fear the death if you are alive, not when you are dead already. So it's fine the way it is.

    You do realize it's the living survivors working on generators and stuff, not the dead ones, right?

    Agreed. It's honestly the only thing I would change about it. Maybe buff the 1-2 survivor debuff a LITTLE. But really, it just needs to proc because of dead survivors. Then i would actually run it. On certain builds.

    I love the " only the living fear death" argumentation against implementing this, ofc thanatophobia only affects the living.
    (duh)

    But u need to see the tiny tidbit that this fear should be increasing the less survivors are there, the dread of being the next... etc 

    Sadly ingame this translates more into "die already you little shits so i can get the hatch"
