2v8 too much aura!
Having back to back to back… aura as a Survivor is ridiculous. I'd understand if the aura lasted for ~3 seconds but it lasts way too long.
I even understand pushing Killers towards Survivors who haven't been hooked yet or decided to sit in a corner. Although, this unironically punishes the Survivors who are already hooked.
Killers often prioritize those closer to death hook. It's happened time and time again in this game, where I see a killer opt out of chasing a survivor because they had no hooks but the other was on death hook. It makes sense as a killer to do that and add pressure.
There is also a very big flaw in the aura reading for 2v8. As a Killer you can essentially keep a few Survivors at no hooks which essentially gives you the location of gens being worked on, healing survivors and more useful information.
The genuine counter to this is for those with no hook states to avoid other Survivors like the plague. The irony of that, is that the whole point of having that aura pop is to prevent that type of playstyle!
I get the auras intended use but it's abused maliciously and does more harm than good to the enjoyment of the game.
I wish 2v8 mode was released just once, just once! Where it had zero aura on both sides. Then at the end of the 2 weeks put out the survey and ask the "actual people playing the game" what they thought and if they prefer it over the traditional aura reading 2v8.
I tried playing killer side this event but first match after waiting over 20 minutes I got DC'd after a few minutes of gameplay. Normal ping and everything but for some reason I got booted but I can play Survivor side no issues and never get that problem.
There needs to be a petition to just have every single aura reading mechanic removed on both sides. Maps are getting smaller, killers getting faster. The game is far more action pact than it's been in it's lifetime. We don't need the aura anymore to promote faster games, let it die already.

Yes, too much aura reading in 1v4 and 2v8.
But they don´t care sadly :-(
I hate the unfair situations this creates in 2v8.

Can only imagine the two down votes were from reddit posters. Beware the neck-beards ;) lol
I do feel that is the case though. Sadly if it doesn't impact revenue negatively they won't care to do anything about it.
Aura reading isn't even that big of a thing is most Survival Horror games. BHVR quite literally has shown their ability to toggle off certain perks. They did that with the flashbang perk from Leon not that long ago if I remember correctly. It's not like they don't easily have the ability to toggle aura perks off temporarily just to see how people feel.
Heck, if the majority of players like these two down voters are the winners. Then fair game ya know. Although these people are so insecure they would rather throw a temper tantrum then even give it a shot. Cause god forbid the majority of players actually enjoy a non-aura based dbd.
