A look at Status Effects

Barin · April 29

Status effects are either useful or very niche and underutilized. I like the idea of every Status Effect having an impact in every game. Let me know what you think.

Blindness

Problem: Too much of an impact on soloq survivors and too little on coordinated swf's.

Solution: More Appeal

While being Blinded:
[BUFF] The killer's Red Stain and Generator Progress are now invincible
[BUFF] The Survivor's Vision is darkened outside of 32 metres (you can clearly see within 32 m)
[NERF] Instead of blocking Auras entirely, the Survivor can now read auras within 32 metres (in your position)

Deafened

Problem: too underutilized, weak and uncommon in perks and add-ons.

Solution: More Appeal and replace more perks/ add-ons with this Status Effect

While being Deafened:
[BUFF] The Survivor hears the 32-metre Terror Radius
[BUFF] Noises made by the Killer are silent
[NERF] Removed the Tinnitus Sound

Deep Wound

Problem: Deep Wound is a very uninteresting mechanic and annoying against some killers.

Solution: More interactivity

While in Deep Wound:
[NERF] Mending no longer downs you.
[CHANGE] When the timer is up you are hindered instead.
[CHANGE] There are now Skill Checks while mending.

Haemorrhage

Problem: Unpopular by itself

Solution: More Appeal

[BUFF] Pools of Blood are now pink in addition to the frequency of Blood Pools

Exposed

Problem: Only useable by Basic Attack Killers and not too strong on perks or killers

Solution: More Appeal

While being Exposed:
[BUFF] The Volume is increased by 50% for:
Grunts of Pain, Footsteps, Repair noises
[NERF] While being in a locker your Recovery Rate increases by 30%

Chance

Problem: Almost no effect in Game.

Solution: More Appeal

[BUFF] Increases the Chance of Rarity in Chests
[BUFF] Decreases the Chance Crows are disturbed
[BUFF] Increases the Skill Check Chance by 30% by the Offering User only
