Request from a p100 Freddy
This isn't really about the rework, it looks fine.
But what I, and I think a lot of Freddy enjoyers were hoping for, was a return to only being able to interact with sleeping survivors. Pretty much every Freddy rework idea I've heard since I began playing the game involved returning that aspect to his character. Because we just want to feel like we're playing as Freddy Krueger, I didn't p100 what most people regard as a contender for worst killer in the game because I wanted to be powerful.
Now, for balancing reasons, I understand that is not realistic. Freddy needs to be able to interact with survivors regardless of their sleep state in order for him to function.
But, you guys used to make what people like to call "meme addons" - addons which intentionally make you worse. Stuff like Speed Limiter for Leatherface. I think you've been phasing that out because they also gave bonus blood points, and you don't want people to feel like they have to run those.
But, just this once, would you consider turning one of Freddy's addons into a meme addon which only allows him to be seen and interact with sleeping survivors? I don't even care if it doesn't give bonus blood points.
It would be especially funny with the fact that survivors now wake up when put in the dying state. They would get picked up and carried to hook by an invisible killer.
Just let us choose to impose this limitation on ourselves, for when we feel like having a more immersive Freddy Krueger experience. For people who want to play a serious match, they can just take the addon off.

Well, my fellow P100 Freddy enjoyer, this is honestly the main thing I was expecting from the rework.
Even when we were told that the rework wouldn't be a full revert to Old Freddy I expected, at the very least, that the sleep mechanic would return to what it was. But not even that was given to us.
I am extremely disappointed with everything here. Would definitely support your suggestion, btw, I would like that option.

I do like this idea of making it a brown add on. Can't hit survivors to put them to sleep or drag them, but using the snares/pallets to put them to sleep before being able to hit would be cool.

+1 The main thing I’ve wanted was that Freddy can’t attack awake survivors.

THIS!

I don't know guys, this was why he was changed in the first place, because it was ungodly ineffective and obtuse.
with Clocks being way more available, how isnt this going to become annoying again?How about this, until a Survivor falls asleep the first time, Freddy is only visible to them within 3meters and has a 40m Lullaby?
And then after that, it returns to the current PTB?I think this is a better option, because the idea of a Survivor clocking out of the Dreamworld in front of me isn't exactly appealing.
Remember Constructive Feedback is best, how do you guys foresee this idea or what you want, actually working inside the game?3 -
No I agree that changing it so he can interact with awake survivors was the correct choice from a balancing perspective.
Keeping that as a core part of his kit is necessary both to make him feel good to play and to make him easier to balance.
That's why my suggestion is to make it a meme addon, akin to Speed Limiter on Leatherface or Rotten Pumpkin on Demogorgon.
These addons make you worse. You're choosing to be worse. This would just be for people who are willing to sacrifice power for a more authentic Freddy Krueger experience.

I get your idea, I was sorta also talking to the others who responded here.

Freddy players would just hover around awake survivors, so they can hit them immediately after that survivor falls asleep.

Agreed!

I waited too long for this rework. I hoped we will get original power with some tweaks. I am really dissapointed so much, i am not fan on this rework.
