Blood Pallets are uhm.. Well I have yet to hit a Single Survivor with one.

Its been like 12 PTB games and nobody wants to go near them. Honestly, I don't think its designed to be a damage tool, rather a tool to to deny an area after the original pallet is gone. Just place a pallet when someone is looping and they want to leave the loop.

Its because of the updated pallet visuals,
Is it intended that Dream Pallets are shown as bleeding to when the survivors? Aka indicating the trickery.

I just wanted to say that when I read the description, it felt like, now I would be dominating survivors with explosions. But as it is in game, I forsee very little offensive use at this current stage, only area denial.

    In other words: "It's worthless." Think about it. Why would you want to deny an area with no resources? You are pretty much guaranteed to get a hit there. So the new dream pallets will achieve the same as the old ones. You get a hit you would get anyway.

    You make a good point @Xernoton, my hands are down.

    Rupture needs some range buffs since it's only 1 meter give it an extra 2-3 meters or reduce the rupture time to 1 sec

    I preferred when they were unable to be told to be fake. Very easy change. (Only for asleep survivors it'll look like it does now if awake) And had some fun uses because you made a survivor path somewhere actually unsafe but they didn't know it yet. So hopefully they bring that back.

    They played it too safe when it comes to counterplay on survivor pov for the pallets. Theres no reason the pallets should be visible and theres no reason they shoulud be able to stun the nightmare himself. They said it was gonna be thematic and yet this ######### is so unrealistic towards the nightmare on elmstreet title it hurts.

    Also the rupture doesnt do anything anyways because the survivors can simply drop the pallet long before it becomes a danger since the rupture animation is so long. I think if they wanna keep the pallets visible they should have the rupture be instant trigger because why would a survivor go there? If they do this huge dumb move it should be punished. It should feel rewarding.

    I think also the black box addon is completely irrelevant and im genuinely curious of why that addon basically doesnt do anything different. Like what the ######### do you need 15 puny seconds for?

    Theres a bit more nuance to this though. I've had survivors path to a pallet that's already a dream pallet and they cant tell (on live) and Get hit. And now they kinda outpositioned themselves. And in other scenarios I've hit a survivor and while they are injured they move toward a dream pallet instead of holding forward. But yeah mostly agree. I just prefer when you can't tell they are fake.
