ive been playing this game for a handful of months now with one of my friends and i really feel the need to state how much noed ruins the fun of playing survivor. i dont have many issues with the game, i have almost no complaints otherwise.


however, its not hard to be enjoying a game, feel the excitement of high escape potential, then suddenly have everything instantly go south because even just one person gets instadowned as a result of noed. the fact that we arent even aware of it when it becomes active just makes things worse. doing something brave can instantly become way more punishing of a scenario, and aside from expecting noed because it's a huge crutch people rely on, there's no way to make the judgement that you shouldnt help a friend.


i hope im getting what i mean across, and i know a lot of people complain about noed, but i want to really state to the devs just how much fun is ruined because of this perk. it just feels cheap, and i dont feel like i deserve to be unexpectedly punished in these scenarios where the survivor should feel excited and the killer should feel worried.

    Don't think NOED needs a nerf, it's fair as it is for being a punishment for gen-rushing. Often times the best thing to do when NOED activates is to search for the totem. It's often not hard to find since the Killer isn't patrolling the map. That way you can secure your save.

    Almost every game I play as survivor when NOED is active goes like so:

    1. Someone gets downed by NOED
    2. Someone goes and looks for the Totem
    3. Totem is destroyed
    4. Person is unhooked
    5. Game continues as normal

    If you're really worried about it you can also just leave or run small game and destroy dull totems. To be honest though I would like to see a totem counter next to the gen counter for survivors. It's admittedly frustrating to try and figure out if you've broken all the totems.

    no

    BHVR has already said many times that they will never change NOED.

    Sorry to burst your bubble.

    Try running small game and also learn totem spawn locations since those are your biggest help.

    NOED is not a problem, small game is a perk you can run if scares you that much , if that is too much for you then just go into every game with the mentality of breaking every dull totem you see

    if every survivor had that mentality chances would be pretty good of NOED not even activating in most games

    You can do something yourself. Break the totems.
