About Chests Spawns and Killer Powers

With the Anniversary coming up soon, I cannot help but think about how by default new event offerings have been adding +1 chest. Which is fine on paper, but then I think about how it interacts with killer powers. Killers like Xenomorph, Sadako, and even the latest killer Springtrap will be affected by these additional chest spawns.

With all the effort going into this chapter, I must worry on if there is no hidden fix / change for this system. The simplest thing I can think of is allow killer powers to take priority over chest spawns while having 1-2 chest spawns have higher priority (hidden / main building chests for certain maps).

I really hope this gets addressed sometime soon because if Springtrap doesn't have a different spawn system for his doors then I imagine some games will be more annoying because of this simple oversight.

I would like to end this post with mentioning I do not think its necessarily bad that killer powers use Chest spawns, it makes things understandable and more consistent on where things will spawn. But it is a problem when killer powers can be shifted because someone wanted to open some chests.

    Just wanted to say that I would also really like to see this change. I know you guys have been working very hard towards this release and it seems like a simple fix that would go a long way towards improving the general reception of Springtrap's debut. It would be a shame if the most interesting and interactive part of his power was diminished due to the effect of an event offering.

    If it's not as simple of a fix as it seems, could you tell us why that's not the case? You guys have been much better with communicating us as of late and I think an official statement on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    This change badly needs to happen, it's absurd that some Killers can get nerfed by an offering but others don't get affected at all. It's not fair to any Killer that spawns anything - if this is going to be a feature, come out and say it's a feature, then change how the spawns are to prevent situations like Xeno and Sadako having no tunnels/TVs anywhere near some gens, or there not being enough sprays/vaccines/EMPs for Survivors because of a chest offering against Wesker, Nemesis, and Singularity.
