What happened to the hud and the unhook notifications being delayed after an unhook?
In the stream you mentioned the stuff you scrapped and kept, but you completely forgot about this part.
Is it still coming or scrapped?

Didn't really do anything to stop killers from camping and coming back to hook, so I assume they just dropped it since its just a stupid inconvenience, like the Blindness status effect to a SWF on comms.

Scrapped hopefully. It doesn't work when so many perks are designed to work on unhook, and obscuring parts of the screen is just very ugly.

There was killer footage from the stream which showed a hooked survivor on the HUD and it wasn't hidden, so I think they got rid of that

They want back to the hook Killers to be able to tunnel with ease just like they currently do on the live servers. I thought this was one of the better and less contentious changes, but apparently not…

Imo this was actually one of the worst parts of the system we tested.
Even if you weren't tunneling, knowing when an unhook is (or isn't) happening is incredibly important macro knowledge for the killer and taking that away was extremely noticeable - even if I had no intention of returning to the hook. It's important knowledge for the killer to have when making macro decisions and hiding/delaying that was a significant nerf not just for tunneling killers but for all killers in general. I typically don't tunnel as killer, I think it's boring and I want both sides to be able to enjoy the game, but hiding this information was not a good idea and this was a major pain point for me in the previous PTB.
It also was incompatible with certain perks that activate on unhook, for example Floods of Rage still gave away the exact timing of an unhook, so in that situation the system basically didn't even work.
