The Ormond aura problem.
When can we expect some kind of fix to the visibility of auras on the Ormond resort ? Or at least an aknownledgment of it ?
This is a serious problem. The auras of generators are barely visible at mid to long distance and auras of smaller objects like totems or traps are allmost impossible to see. And you know what is also smaller than a generator ? Survivors. Long range aura reading perks and abilities are complelty neutered by this map.
This hurt killers especially. Scratches are allready difficult to see on Ormond (less than it used to be but still harder than on most maps) and the main building as some really strong loops potential. Being allmost blind to auras is just a kick in the nuts.

It is ward to see auras as survivors as well. They have to increase the saturation of the auras on this map.

Now try being colorblind on top of it.
It's impossible to play, plain and simple.

I'm only slightly colorblind and i struggle sometimes i can't imagine playing it with a more severe case.
I saw a post by a guy who legit didn't know the game had scratchmarks due to being colorblind. Jesus Murphy.

I only see scratchmarks in The Game and Lery's. Rest of the maps have no scratchmarks for me.

Honestly at this point, I won’t expect any changes such as these.
Mount Ormond Auras, The game brightness, console fps, all of that and more
we were asking for this change a long time ago, still haven’t gotten it.
My advice: don’t get your hopes up, but hey, come back 2 years later after giving DBD a huge break, maybe the devs have finally fixed it ;)
or play civilization, Cote says it’s a great alternative to this game!

@GT_Legend2 Yeah I know. Luckily I own and play other fun games too. I have also other hobbies and activities - besides work, you know.
I just log into the forums every now and then to see how things are going, play a couple of weekly matches and that's it.

When asked about this problem during the dev stream the reply was, “we are aware of the issue but it’s not a priority right now.” I’m colourblind too and this map is absolutely horrendous. Makes me wanna dc.

Year i reported that a couple weeks ago and tagged the moderators but didnt get a reply.

I personally DC on that map if I get it to often. No need to put myself in such a disadvantage. That map is also quite strong by itself with some confusing loops and a huge map (slow killer struggle hard).
They need to fix the aura before I play on that map as killer.

Ormond is a nightmare for killers as the auras were thin-to-transparent in this map! And the scratches and blood pools were nearly impossible to see!

It's the built in fog on the map, I don't know why they haven't removed it yet.

Aware of the issue but it's not a priority? just disable it from the map rotation.
it's not really about bugs or problems anymore. It's become what can the devs squeeze out of players for more money. Issues not getting fixed despite how easy they are. New killers being released, despite many many many MANY fixes that need to be made. Dev's priority, money for the publishers. Never for the players.
I've actually accepted bugs NEVER getting fixed, and things to just slowly spiral until we all stop playing.

I'm just dc'ing every time I get that map until they fix that bs.

up until the most recent dev stream i thought this was intentional, to represent a blizzard without crashing the game

I usually afk and get coffeee at least let survivors get points and maybe chase points myself

In my SWF I usually put on Ormond map to purposefully give the killer a hard time.
When I'm solo, I let the lobby know where we're heading to, they change their perks and we have ourselves a blast.
The map needs a huge change, from scratch marks to aura reading colors.
As Nurse, I do fine. But I feel a bit bad for any other killer.
RIP Myers who wanted to DC after being ran by Meg for 4 gens.

Well we got the aknowledgment of the issue in the latest Q&A and a fix is coming Soon™.
Good job BHVR. 👍️

Finally
I really hate that map for making both survivor and killer hard to play

The funniest part as a killer on that map is that I can't even see my own freaking ruin totem. I once played the no scratches, only blood Spirit and the survivors used Ormond offering :< It was so much fun/not/ !

+1 on this thread. I hate how hard the auras are to see. The red scratch marks too for that matter. It's weird how the map with the lightest background is the hardest to see stuff in.

The auras are awful on both sides. I think the killer has knock out every time someone gets downed because I spin my camera and don't see anyone on the ground. Then they get hooked and once that black circle disappears, I can't see their aura still. Awful for everyone involved

The developers in their latest QA spoke about this briefly, said they're working on it.
