Vecna got buffs, will you buy off come next patch? why?
His buff is what I want in PTB. And dev listen. Let hope, he wont get nerf later from abusing his add on etc.
Another reason, I like his dagger animation as well.
Moreover, survivors game will get interesting with chest finding cool gear and such. More flavor to the game as a whole!
what about you?

Vecna himself got some good improvements so probably worth getting. We’ll see how much they improve him.
His perks are all completely terrible though and won’t be seen outside memes. They needed significant buffs and didn’t get it.

I still won't be playing this killer. I think it's very bad game design to give survivors counterplay items, but then balance the character around the survivors NOT having the counterplay items. Counterplay items make way more sense on killers like Nemesis and Wesker, where the killers are definitely balanced around the survivors using the counterplay items.

No but I don't like using the radial wheel on controller so no amount of buffs was going to make me interested in him and that's besides how frustrating using the skeletons are.

Î am 100% getting him. Can't remember when I was this hyped for a killer the last time.

How do you know he is purely balanced around survivors not having counterplay items? He isn't even out yet. As far as I can tell, the items will help survivors a bit but won't be anything too crucial.

I don't think Vecna will be for me. I don't have much interest in D&D and his power seems pretty complicated to use. I would be interested in getting his vault perk for my Legion, but the downsides don't outweigh the upsides in my opinion so I'll probably just wait till it turns up in the shrine. The new map looks pretty cool from what I've seen of it, though.
But I will probably buy the new Survivors, because their perks look decent. I'll be playing that stupid lute at every opportunity I get for at least a week.

Its a no brainer for me since this is BY FAR the chapter with the most effort put in. The map is great, Vecna himself has one of the coolest powers and you truly feel like an effortless machine when playing him, and the Survivor has such fun perks.
Overall this chapter is fat dub, no complaints here

He has to be balanced around zero counterplay items, because survivors can't actually get all the items at the same time. For example, BHVR can't balance the fly spell around the fly counterplay item, because survivors can't be guaranteed to get that item. And you can repeat that for Vecna's other 3 spells.

I was always gonna get this chapter. As a dedicated player, for now anyways, i want all characters and all perks.
But as for how i feel about this chapter. I think it's really good. The improvements they made to vecna definitely address a lot of the feedback i've been seeing and agreed with myself. Vecna is a really cool design. Very versatile, very useful, and with the improvements i think he will be very smooth to play.
I think the survivor is cool too. I like that they are two in one, that's a lot of value since all survivors are just skins anyways. I'm excited to use Still sight.
I honestly think it might be one of the best chapters they've ever done. Seems very high quality all around.2 -
I buy every chapter so… Yes 😂

Nope. Terrible chapter imo. Not interested at all. Maybe it’s just cause I’m not looking hard enough but I don’t really see much hype anywhere for the new characters.
1 -
Maybe?
I'm conflicted in that I like the killer, but don't really play killer right now so there's not much point in that regard.
Since I'm survivor-oriented right now, the perks are important to me; but they all seem absolutely terrible. Giving feedback on the perks changed nothing either. Perhaps if I can think of a build that interests me and, somehow, uses those perks efficiently I might? But that's hard to imagine, because the numbers and effects of the survivor perks are just that awful.
I just really wish any of the survivor perks gave a tangible benefit to its user, rather than being purely for memes.

I don't think the buffs will be enough, but I'm not interested in the chapter anyway. Vecna and the survivor (can't even remember her name, Aezir?) look lame, and their perks look mostly bad, and Vecna himself doesn't seem very fun to play. Map looks nice though but I already foresee it as a popular survivor pick because of those portals.
Maybe I'll change my mind in the future but for now, I'm giving this chapter a pass.

Yeah looking forward to playing him. Think his buffs will make him a glorified B tier killer but he should be stronger than my main Knight, so will be nice to play something else. Aesthetically looks way better than the bumchested washermachine man we got last time.
Knight really needs to have a power wheel for his guards, blatant little tlc for him there.

Ehh… Maybe, maybe not.
I'm more excited for Dracula.
0 -
Same!!! I really hope Dracula will have a unique and fun power. Can’t wait for him to be added.

I'll probably buy the chapter eventually but I'm not hyped for it. I'm not super excited about Vecna's power and the survivors and perks are fine but not really a huge selling point for me either.
Overall, the chapter is fine but I don't care that much about it because nothing really stands out to me.

Im buying the Chapter regardless since I just like DnD.
