Balance to make the game what it should be about: the horror/thrill
I remember when first seeing the trailers, and then playing the game, I'd be anxious, and actually feel the game, feel the fear, and be in anticipation.
Later it wore off, and I was able to be comfortable with toying around with killers.
In most videos you see on yt, pro players aren't actually scared to play the game, and don't take it seriously, they just see it as a "fun" game, laugh at moments. This is wrong. I believe this game needs to be in horror genre, not "comedy", or a combination of.
Killers need to be afraid of, and it should resemble real life situation as much as possible.
Simple ways to achieve that:
- Only 2 people can work on gens.
- Write a script to prevent people looping around killers, you shouldn't be so blatantly disregard the horror part, it ain't no amusement park. No, I'm not proposing reducing time for vault/pallet breaking. But some way to prevent/make looping more futile. Also, remove the 360 thing. You can still do 360 but without this jerk motion, which is totally unrealistic.
The problem isn't that killers can't hook a survivor once in a chase, but the fact that people are gen rushing, and there's no time to hunt/scare survivors. Game's too fast.
Hex ruin should have a time period for which it works, otherwise it's unfair to new/average players who play in lobbies and each one is mostly for himself. All it does is ruin the game, since killer kills everyone before even at least 2 gens get repaired.
Also, movement speed needs to be slower for everyone, it's a bit too fast. Just reduce it by 0.2.

liked the idea that the killer should scare

one more phase of the game could be added - intro. In this phase, you can not start the generators, but you need to perform certain tasks (as an option, each has its own).

I agree with the sentiment of this post. The game starts way to fast. If most killers run Hex Ruin, it's a problem. I've been thinking about this a lot.
One idea I had is for survivors go find the tools they brought in. They'll be in the chests (there will need to be more chests), and a chest will either have your tool, someone else's (that you can't pickup until a timer expires), or a new tool (now we can have offerings around making this part easier). Once someone finds your tool, you get a short notification so you know roughly where it is. If you choose, you can always start a gen while others search around for tools.

This idea sound annoying and not fun... and in a game balancing matter... its just stupid.
If you have a problem with game being too fast you have to learn how to better apply the pressure.
- There are many generators with a limit, usually the savest ones.
- Just dont take parts in the endles, force survivor off the loops, mindgame them, or play killers that doesent care, like nurse (One can't loop a nurse).

I don't think your changed can work but I 100% agree with you for that feeling when you first play the game. I miss how it felt, so scary and everything was so confusing and new. Completely different compared to how it feels now especially on the survivor side.

@blue4zion In this case, no matter what they will do, it will be just a temporary thing because you will be used to it again.

I get more scared when playing killer as survivors surprise-drop pallets on me or Claudettes pop up out of nowhere. I just get annoyed when playing survivor and I’m not doing well. I can get scared if I am doing well, however.

Myers is favoriteand only source of fear in this game

I’m afraid any game in the horror genre, after however many hundreds of hours playing, will stop inducing fear in players. That’s unfortunately just how it is. We learn, analyze, get better, get confident - we shake off fear through exposure to most any phobia

I think is very easy. For survs make the game darken. Much more. This is a buff for killer too.
