BHVR, any more planned changes to Dracula, or at least Wolf form?
Just wanted know and to add a bit more feedback.
Bat form seems in a good spot right now. The teleport speed and base speed were pretty much welcome. Still kinda weird to have that big "lullaby" while you are supposed to be undetectable and the bat sounds kinda get into your way as the killer, but still..
Vampire form i have only one complain. It has been said many times that Hellfire appears at the moment the key is released, not like any other ranged attack in the game that after the key is released, it still takes some frames for the attack to appear and you can still move your camera and aim on those frames. It makes trying to follow survivors weird. I think it is because Dracula does not have a "locked camera" while releasing his Hellfire, and i would totally prefer to have it if it makes aiming Hellfire a little easier. You can check this behavior easily by casting Hellfire while moving to the left, Hellfire will appear at your right side, not from your camera like it should be. Would like to hear some input if this is being considered, as the ability is already nerfed by not going through high obstacles, i dont think a double-nerf is needed?
Wolf form is where the problems are still present. I think removing the hug tech was fine, but this form still has some basekit problems.
- Extremely easy to miss pounce attack. You have no control on when you are going to do the second jump, and sometimes you even dont want to do it, but it will be done anyways. Also, its almost impossible to aim with the tiny 2nd window if the survivor is not running just in a straight line.
- The form is supposed to be for "tracking", but if the survivors are not moving (or walking if i am not mistaken) you are not going to track anything at all. It is just another chase-oriented form. Maybe the orbs could always appear even if the survivors are not moving, maybe at a slower rate or having reduced area where you can see them. All the track tools right now (easier to see pools of blood, scratch marks, killer-instinct when jumping and orbs) are just used for a better chase, not for actually tracking the survivor.
Want to finish by saying that, again, the bat changes were awesome and well welcomed. It was a really good work.
Would love to hear an opinion of the feedback or if more changes are considered at least. Thank you.
