... Where did all the crows disappeared at?

I was really looking forward to the new Spies from the shadow rework. Once the patch dropped in that's literally the first thing I wanted to try so I started a game as a killer.

The Map was Thompson house (Coldwind farm) and I was like: "Great! The farm should have lots of crows!" and then... there wasn't even a single crow to be seen.

And this happened even in Rotten fields (Coldwind farm), Mother's dwelling (red forest) and even "The game" where I remember having lots of crows!

At this point I have to guess it's a bug and crows disappeared from every single map, I never noticed them before (mainly because they were useless) but I think this happened already some patches ago.

    Devs probably saw the thread where survivors complained that spies would be op. So they reduced the amount of crows by 99%

    No I said it before, even the old spies from the shadows were not really bad in lery's or haddonfield. The perk didn't have much problems but yes 75% was stupid. Anyways.

    What they had to was to fix was crow placement and they didn't touch the crows at all. This is why it is still useless because crows are not in good places to begin with.

    What they should have done was to adjust the crows, not the hooks. I don't know why they care so much about the hooks, nobody has any kind of problem with them. They just waste time adjusting their places every patch.

    I wouldn't complain about a reduced amount of crows after the rework of this perk... but 0? We're back at square one with SFTS all over again.

    Before: The perk was useless because of the notification and the 75%
    Now: The perk IS useless because there are no crows.

    No justice for the black birds i guess.

    I've been having SFTS popping like mad.  I'm definitely seeing crows.

    May I ask on what map? I'm definitely not seeing them at all (on the maps i've played)

    The crows on the more open farm maps have been gone for quite some time before this patch. It’s just that it was barely noticeable, with Torment Creek being the only exception.

    Arent crows still that lethargic and barely useful without perk? Nit sure if buffing Sfts without touching the base crows was the best possible solution.
