Boldness needs a buff as far as bp gain
Maybe that’s just how I feel but stealth compared to altruism isn’t nowhere near the same amount as rewarding bp wise.I know altruism and chases are “riskier” but stealth is more brain. You usually get to be the last alive to die on your first hook, or never saved Bc the others have been hooked so many times they’re too afraid to save Bc rip. Soo I mean can we buff stealth bp a little more.
Or how do you guys feel?

I said stealth , not doing nothing. They are two separate things. Also you don’t get boldness by not being near a killer. I’m just saying. It’s not my fault if y’all are getting hit with bbq and can’t run correctly. I’ve seen numbers of players snowball each other to death before I can get a gen and a half done with ruin up between three people. So really you can eat me on this one. Y’all would rather run around a killer, and not even be good at it.

You get bloodpoints for working (gens, helping teammates) and keeping the killer busy.
If you are stealthy, you might increase your personal chances in survival. And survival also gives bp.
I don't think it would be good to award stealth with more bp since it would encourage solo survs to play in a certain way which is pretty unfun for the other survs.

@Peasant If you want to take an approach from that direction, don't forget totems. ;)

Oh damn thanks @Peasant I had no idea sabateur helped with boldness. That’s pretty dope. I think I stopped touching hooks for a while due to the sabatoge epidemic that caused the hook count increase. I knew killers hated it, so I didn’t want to be a little #########. Maybe I’ll pick it back up.

@NoShinyPony you don’t think it would be a good idea to encourage people to play smarter? Especially considering all the killers that require stealth instead of chasing? I mean alright I guess. I think stealth should be encouraged instead of shamed, if more people identified solid tactics against certain killers and were rewarded better for it, maybe so many people wouldn’t hate to name a couple nurse or legion. It would also help lengthen matches.

Uhm, why is stealth more brain? Stealth is the easiest thing to do lol.
0 -
@HeroLives Of course I'd like to see smarter plays. But too many people confuse stealth with doing nothing.

I play stealthy and usually have gold or iridescent emblems in most categories. Boldness can be the hardest to achieve, not taking into consideration if we end up surviving or not.

I think both sides are right about this problem.
If you play stealthy, your points will suck since you will almost lack an entire category. Survival category is already rigged, alturism is based on competition, objective points are difficult if you don't coop (1250 per generator??? really?)
On the other hand, if you make it viable to stay around a killer and gain lots of bloodpoints, it will be abused. People will not leave the match until they gain their boldness points, some survivors will follow the killer while a teammate is getting chased etc.
What should be done is to award survivors boldness points when they do some work in the killer's terror radius except for unhooking (farming will be worse).
You are repairing a generator in the killer's terror radius? Gain points
You are cleansing a totem in the killer's terror radius? Gain points
You are healing a teammate in the killer's terror radius? Gain points
You are opening a door in the killer's terror radius? Gain points
Immersed survivors will gain nothing but it will award 'bold' survivors who do some work despite the killer's presence.

Sounds good, at least we don't get those survivors camping I'm corners or basement rewarded with that.

-Drinks something-
I seemingly get max bloodpoints in that category every match

Survival gives the least BP of any survivor category which is saying something when survivors dont get much bp as it is

Yeah same. I feel like only other stealth players know what I’m talking about, Bc the idea of stealth to the overly altruistic is baffling(even though we clearly live longer and get better emblems other than boldness) I’ll go for saves(if it is actually safe and not just consider a safe unhook which are two completely different things), I certainly do totems, and I got those gens for sure, but my boldness sometimes is only built up by the little stuff like hiding when the killer is near, or everything that @Delfador said, which isn’t enough.

@Hoodedfengm1n do you twitch?

@HeroLives What do you mean by that?

@Hoodedfengm1n I think he kinda wants live streams to watch since you are able to max out. You can teach us something.
I think you didn't understand us. Sometimes I don't play stealthy and max out that category, it is not difficult but it is almost impossible to do that if you are playing stealthy. We are talking about boldness points for stealth players, not the ones who are getting chased etc.
1 -
@Hoodedfengm1n I want to see how you stealth and max out, so I can learn since I’m having a problem with it. I mean it as show me your ways hooded one, Bc I want to know so all my emblems can shine too as a stealth player 🧢🕶

@HeroLives Usually how this occurs is I bring a flashlight and try to get into a chase with the killer, during the chase I hold it together the entire time, don't panic when you get hit, try to pallet loop (Even if its legion) and slam the pallet at your chance, when you break the pallet use your flashlight every single time, you will have max BP in the boldness category almost 70% of the time.
In the stealth category like @Delfador said, you have to hide around the killer for a HUGE amount of time, have a flashlight aswell to go aggressive if needed, when the killer downs someone go for the save and hide again, this will work a charm, this works less times than the aggressive/chase path but it still works

@Hoodedfengm1n I really didn’t want to pick up flashlights but one must do what one must do, heavy lies the crown that wants to go full iridescent.
0 -
@HeroLives In my opinion, I think there should be an easier path to get boldness without having to go aggressive, so that means I agree with you, so I thought of one
Risky-Boldness/objective
-Repairs preformed onto a generator/exit while inside the terror radius
Risky-Boldness/altruism
-Heal inside the terror radius(Not in the chase)
Risky escape-Survival/Boldness
Escape the trial while in the chase with the exposed status affect or injured
Risky escape-Survival/Boldness
Escape the trial inside the terror radius, reduced amount of BP gain to the first risky escape

@Hoodedfengm1n I am on board with all of those. Like I said I’m not a lazy stealth player so I mean I can get these as I’m usually in TR doing things at times. Thanks for the tips though. I tried what @peasant said and started to Sabo hooks so far just gold :/ I need to up my boldness game.
