Guess on the Numbers
So as we all argue over how the next patch will destroy DbD for ever and ever, one of the big things is we don't have any numbers. This most likely intentional on BHVR's part to stir interest over the weekend.
Now we could do the reasonable thing and all calm down and wait just a couple of days for the actual numbers.
But that's boring. Let's all lean into the pandemonium. Cards on the table time so we can all be embarrassed later, what do you think the number changes will actually be for the basekit changes?
I'll jump in first.
Gen Progress after a death before 6th Hook: 10% (I wouldn't be surprised if this higher in the PTB for testing with the presumption of getting nerfed down)
Haste bonus: 20% for 10 seconds (this one is tough, because I don't know if they are going for a small, long term buff, or whether it will be a high very short buff to help with map traversal)
Unhook Visual Timer Delayer: 10 seconds, though I saw this in a video as well so that might be confirmed.
BBQ: I think this will be the exact same as current BBQ, except only applying to survivors with equal or less hooks.
Pop: 10% (so a total of 15% on the gen kick)
See the killer aura on unhook: 3 seconds
Elusive + Immunity to Killer Instinct: 15 seconds or conspicuous action
No collision: 30 seconds or conspicuous action or hit by the killer
Gen's blocked from regressing: 60 seconds (don't think they mean permanent in the patch notes)
What I think will be changed post PTB:
Even though I've joked about it, I don't think they can walk this back. They've been saying this is the next big direction of the game for a long time. Things like the 'no haste stacking' had attacks from both sides, you'd need overwhelming responses of this not working for it to totally be canned.
I suspect that a lot of values (on both sides) might come in high to test them, and then be nerfed back (i.e. test the extremes).
I think the hook two survivors in a row penalty will just get folded into the death before six hooks issue.

I am hating this new approach for DEV Updates.
Why not give the damn number with it?! We have to wait until the patch notes go live together with PTB to know.
God damn it!1 -
It's clearly meant to do just what is happening. Get people talking and speculating to stir interest in the game.
As I somewhat said in the post, if all us just said 'okay, we'll wait for the real numbers' then things like this wouldn't happen. It's crummy, but slow dripping keeps people coming back for more.

15% haste for 2 mins in my opinion. Maybe 1.5. They are gonna want the killer to come out the gate strong

LMAO
I'll be shocked if it's 5% for 20 seconds. Furtive Chase only gives 10% for 18.

Honestly im expecting survivors complaining about the killer benefits and want them nerfed. And im betting it will be instantly because its about the survivors fun. I really am scared of these changes this will make the game almost unplayable all together for killer and no one will care because its not the survivors fun being punished
