New update and killer seem to have broken the game.
I understand they'll balance the killer as time goes on, but this update was not ready to go live, in my opinion. Putting my thoughts about the killer being OP/broken aside, the game is broken. Audio issues every other game; e.g. gen noises only on right side, other noises only on left, needing to restart the game to fix sometimes. Visual issues; e.g. the killer will be invisible for several seconds. Not to mention I caught a crow while cleansing a hex totem. Lastly, why buff the killers so much? It's like the devs see YouTube vids from creators and nerf everything they see. Oh, and my loadouts and customizations reset.

- I confirm. the new killer sometimes bugs and becomes literally invisible. I also had crows appear completely randomly for no reason (I wasn't still, I was moving stealthily to save a surv with killer who was camping, then I went back to the gen ... and voilà the crows fly at my head 🤣)

Don’t forget that you also get DC penalties for being tunneled now.

the game is far from killer sided. especially right now with the current gen speeds. (swf > killer > soloq)

Same thing here! One survivor on second hook and another laying under the hook.I was running to unhook or at least attempt too and got a crow while running. I then got a second Crow while trying to sneak to get the other survive off the ground!!! Insane!!

Lmao, all this makes for crazy reading. Downloading update but may have to wait the usual couple weeks to try the new chapter as it has become tradition by this point.

Yeah, I came here to complain about the sound. The game is basically unplayable if you're getting sounds from wrong directions and it kind of made me feel crazy and stressed out? Not in a fun way — in a nails-on-the-chalkboard way. So, just as there's new content, I have to take a break until the sound is working again.

I'd love to know more about how this has been going since implementation. Do you by chance have any videos? Not saying I don't believe it or anything like that, I'd just love some examples of it happening to help understand how the false positive could happen.

Nothing about this post is talking about balance issues. There's more bugs and the AFK crows need more work.

That explains a lot

Those swfs are pretty rare compared to 80+% of the player base and even than Theres killers to deal with those.

Hes a stronger version of xenomorph

It's the cycle. Release OP Killer to get sales that ruin any sort of SoloQ. SoloQ stops playing, almost every match is a SWF so then Killers HAVE to be overtuned to deal with that, which ruins the game even more and makes everything unfun.

I joined the forum today because you've ruined the game. That is not hyperbole. The Hook and not being able to attempt to unhook yourself, makes the game unplayable for SOLO's. If I dont see a teammate move towards my direction while I'm hooked, I'M NOT GOING NEXT, I AM TRYING TO SAVE MYSELF and I try to time it so I get at least 2 shots at it after I see them not coming to help me! This new setup is insane. I'm gonna just set my controller down and go watch a movie after my first hook now. So many noobs have been leaving me to die on my first hook. Yesterday I had a game I got the highest score AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE NOT TO ESCAPE! I SAVED THEM ALL GAME, DID 3 GENS BY MYSELF AND GOT CAUGHT AFTER A LONG CHASE AFTER FINISHING THE LAST GEN AND THEY FLAT OUT DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO UNHOOK ME. NOW YOU EXPECT US SOLO's to HANG with ZERO CHANCE of Unhooking ourselves all because you fear "GO NEXT"? Maybe people Go Next because their teammates are Selfish and dont play the right way. These changes are the beginning of the End for most Solo's, It's time to find a new game to spend time on. What a shame

And this game is way Killer Sided. If you say it isn't, you are lying or an incompetent Killer. The Only Survivors who have a shot are SWF TEAMS or Friendly Killers letting them go. Otherwise the Hatch escape is about the only Viable option against any Killer trying. But right now, I'm concerned how much this new hook nonsense is going to ruin the game.

People that don't share your opinion don't immediately have to be lying or incompetent. There is much more to the matter than just killer op, survivor up.
The truth is that the game is neither killer nor survivor sided. It all depends on the map, what survivors bring, what killer is being played, what addons the killer is using, etc. Killers like Blight are arguably op. Killers like Vecna, Huntress or Wesker are balanced. And killers like Trapper or Myers are arguably underpowered.

I disagree. Perks make Myers a OP. Wesker and Vecna are OP. Anytime you have a 2ndary heal like Wesker's looking for spray, they are OP. I agree about Huntress and Trapper but not the Killers in general, it's fact that Killers are OP in general. Top Huntresses and Trappers can kill all 4 SWF as well. Have you seen the comments about this game from longtime Survivors? Xbox Store Rating is like 3.3 now from all similar reviews.
Bring me the BEST SWF you know and setup a game with me as Killer and they can bring whatever they want and I'll get at least 3 of them and that's a win in my book and I rarely play Killer. Once a day usually, for the Bonus. Maybe Killer's shouldnt be thinking a Win is only All 4 Dead? And why are the Maps 20%? It makes them and the Realm Blocker, useless. I don't get it.

If you're talking about the audio issue where directional audio breaks, that only happens when you interact with Springtraps cameras. I tested it, and sent a bug report to the devs.

I seriously doubt you would win against the best swf out there if you don't play killer that often. Even really experienced killer player streamers still struggle against teams sometimes.
Myers is op with certain addons, maybe. Though they did nerf those so not sure anymore. I don't see how Wesker and Vecna are op however, both have a good amount of counterplay and are not oppressive.
No, killers in general are not op. They do have access to unhealthy strategies like tunneling and camping. But that still doesn't make them necessarily op.
Most killer players also don't think that only 4 kills is a win. People are aware that 3 kills is already a win. Only particularly sweaty killers need those 4 kills for whatever reason.
