The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.
http://dbd.game/killswitch
66% of the ghost face perks are #########
Someone had to say that. This green perk called im all ears is laughable. It even has cooldown. Like it won't even trigger once for whole match. Now let's move to the obsession perk. Instead of making it 4 meters each token, make it 25%. Also it would be nice if it make red stain dissapear at 4 tokens.

I'm not sure why he added that there was a cooldown on all those perks. Most of them could have zero cooldown and still look too weak.

Welcome to survivor perks, 2 awful perks and 1 perk that would be meta without it's arbitrary perquisites to activate.
26 -
You complain, but besides MOM... which is getting reworked... has there been any good Survivor perks released in quite some time? Ash's other two are trash, Jane's are trash, Jeff has alright perks but nothing strong, Adam's are highly situational, Kate's are trash, Tapp's are trash, Quentin's are under rated but not great, David's are all hard mode options basically, Feng has Lithe and Alert, Bill has BT, Ace's are trash, Laurie had DS... it's been gutted, Nea has UE, Jake has IW (Sabotage is dead), Claud has solid perks, Meg has meta perks, and Dwight has a few okay perks.

The goal of any perk should be "plausible". Never essential, never useless. At what point would I swap out BBQ or Ruin for I'm all ears?
12 -
This is because survivors are already busted and can't afford more busted things with the games current balance.
21 -
The perks are better suited for little or no tr killers, Myers might make better use of them.
1 -
Back when, yes. Now? Nah. If you aren't 4K'ing anything that isn't a 4 man SWF... you weren't playing your best.
5 -
Survivors are still busted. Anyone that plays both sides at red ranks knows this.
The fact that you actually think this tells me you don't.
11 -
@VexTheHex - I was thrilled about Head On. It made me completely change my survivor playstyle. Until I realised it didn't actually work half the time. It was good in theory though.

I loss interest and recently came back. Purple Ranks currently and it's 4K fiestas even on Killers I don't play or against weak Killers. The matches snowball hard. Throwing around the Red Rank card is actually petty and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. If the game is balanced around the best Red Ranked 4 man SWF groups... the game would be dead. I generally question how many 3 or 4 E's you get. People like to complain Killer's are weak but then brag about their consecutive 4Ks, it's quite laughable.
12 -
Honestly ...I have to agree. I was not very enthused by any of his 3 perks. But no matter, I have some other perks in mind for him anyway.
2 -
I'd say the gen blocker one is going to be meta depending on the cooldown (I mean it's almost on par with BBQ) the Obsession perk is going to be usable in specific builds but not otherwise and his new perk is only going to be useful if you are using the obsession perk and even then only kinda.

"Throwing around the Red Rank card is actually petty and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things"
It's only irrelevant to you because you aren't there. You just came back and don't even know how the games balance is. Purples are easy, if you can't get to red you clearly aren't playing as good as you think you are.
"f the game is balanced around the best Red Ranked 4 man SWF groups... the game would be dead"
No. Then survivors would actually have a challenge.
"I generally question how many 3 or 4 E's you get. People like to complain Killer's are weak but then brag about their consecutive 4Ks, it's quite laughable."
I actually stream where my rank 1 on both sides is perfectly visible.
You talk about people getting 4's, but that is using Nurse or at low ranks, which is a completely different conversation.
You shouldn't comment on the games balance when you know nothing of it. You said it yourself that you just came back.
5 -
Nah, I've seen your postings and see you're very Killer sided in everything. You also blatantly ignored my 4K question with look it up yourself type of deal. The truth is... you want the game easier for you to 4K in. You can't take challenge.
I've played and mained Stun Hag. You really don't got much room to ridicule me about balance when practically all change for years now have been for the Killer side. And it was needed, but we've hit the point it's starting to go too far.
And again, you want to ignore anything that isn't 4 Man SWF groups in red ranks. You do know the game would die off right? Solo players like me would get screwed. Casuals would give up before us. All you'd have is the sweaty ones thinking their Red Rank means everything.
Killer Q's are already long. (it's slowing me down :/) Think there may be a reason? ;P

Killer is the easiest its ever been change My mind
7 -
Y'know, you can just say "two".

"I've seen your postings and see you're very Killer sided in everything."
Playing survivor at rank 1 regularly since the games release makes me killer sided..OKAY.
"The truth is... you want the game easier for you to 4K in. You can't take challenge."
The truth is you're a low rank that has no idea what actually goes on in the game.
"You really don't got much room to ridicule me about balance when practically all change for years now have been for the Killer side"
Because the game has been survivor sided for years. That makes the changes quite obvious and logical.
"And it was needed, but we've hit the point it's starting to go too far."
You just came back and haven't reached red ranks on both sides. This is like saying killer is easy because you're 4King low rank idiots. That's not how this works.
"And again, you want to ignore anything that isn't 4 Man SWF groups in red ranks"
I havn't ignored anything.
"Solo players like me would get screwed."
I play solo 99% of the time. It is quite easy.
"Casuals would give up before us."
I think people actually like a challenge.
"Killer Q's are already long. (it's slowing me down :/) Think there may be a reason? ;P"
They are long because the game is still unbalanced in favor of survivors and the killers get tired of it.

I never said it wasn't the easiest it's ever been. Being in its easiest state doesn't mean it is easy, it just means easier. That is a big difference.
5 -
Agreed.
0 -
Hold on, I'm All Ears is actually REALLY good for Ghost Face. As Ghost Face can make his terror radius 0, I think it can have uses for him.
Other killers I think it'll work for:
Wraith (While Cloaked, no terror radius... 0.0)
Pig (While Crouched, no terror radius... 0.0)
And obviously, Michael Myers.
It's situational, don't get me wrong, but I think it'll be incredible for the right killers, and it's on Ghost Face, which it works with (unlike the Doctors M&A)

Oh the contradictions. Oh my. Basically my points are invalid cause they are Purple/Green and those people's opinion's don't matter. But you're not ignoring the balance of the game play on those levels... but my input is void cause I'm not as high as you.
Killer times are long... cause there isn't enough Killer playing. Oh my. That's not how it works. If I Q as Killer and it takes forever... it means there is a shortage of Survivors. If I Q as Survivor and it takes forever... it means there is a shortage of Killers. Currently, Survivor Q is fast and Killer Q is long.
I'd love to rank back to Red (where I was every month in the past) on Killer but those long Q's are boring and eating my limited time. Anyway, even if I showcased 40 4K's at Rank 1 as new Legion with no add ons or whatnot... I know you'd still throw excuses out like "they must of been potatoes." (to clarify, Legion is in a horrible place and I know I wouldn't 4K with him at Rank 1. Plus he isn't even fun to play anymore to do so)

"Basically my points are invalid cause they are Purple/Green"
If someone told you the house you were building was being done incorrectly because they had built a house with leggos before would that make them qualified? That's basically this scenario. Playing at low ranks is a totally different game.
"But you're not ignoring the balance of the game play on those levels... but my input is void cause I'm not as high as you."
This is because you don't balance a game around low ranks.
"Killer times are long... cause there isn't enough Killer playing. Oh my. That's not how it works. If I Q as Killer and it takes forever... it means there is a shortage of Survivors. If I Q as Survivor and it takes forever... it means there is a shortage of Killers. Currently, Survivor Q is fast and Killer Q is long."
This is a result of the survivor mains growing entitled and unable to accept changes the game needs IE what you've been saying.
"Anyway, even if I showcased 40 4K's at Rank 1 as new Legion with no add ons or whatnot... I know you'd still throw excuses out like "they must of been potatoes.""
I wouldn't need to because you wouldn't have the opinions that you do.

"They are long because the game is still unbalanced in favor of survivors and the killers get tired of it."
People play survivor because: 1. They like co op games, 2. They can play with friends, 3. It can feel like you're IN a horror movie, 4. They prefer being chased as opposed to chasing, etc. etc.
Biased mains will take literally anything and twist it to mean that their side is getting screwed over.
2 -
Keep hiding behind the "my rank is higher than you" argument. The game can't be purely balanced around the highest of the high Rank 1's. All the other ranks will go to hell with that. Being in the <10 ranks is not the same as Rank 20 or 15. Most of these people know the general game and are trying (not all), and if the game is severely favoring either side... there is balance concerns. There's not massive ones, but there are still concerns and tweaks needed.
3 -
These are also true and another reason killer que's are longer.
2 -
Usually there's at least 1 decent perk in the bunch. All of Ghostface's perks are.. like, I mean Jesus Christ.. how the hell did they come up with this #########? There's not a single understanding cell left in my body. At this point it has gone from mild inconvenience to massive irritation.
So what they're telling me is that their perk designers sat down, looked at the state of the game when figuring out Ghostface's perks, and said.. "Yeah, these are all awesome. This will shake up the meta. None of these will feel like wasted development time."
Really? REALLY TYRONE? HUMMMM..
3 -
Yeah All Ears is literally just made to screw over Quick and Quiet players. It will have use on low terror radius killers as a sort of killer version of Alert; but yeah it’s usability is going to be fairly niché.
0 -
Give me 3 ######### survivor perks and 3 ######### killer perks and I am still happier than another old DS, MoM, Hex: Ruin or BBQ. No perk is balanced if it needs to be on every build.
3 -
Killers already complaining? Just like they did with Spirit and she's absolutely banging? Stop whining, PTB is out soon, stop bloody whining.
6 -
Yes! I'm happy someone else noticed this!...Myers with M&A, wraith, pig, GF theyll be able to make use of these perks and it's awesome to see some perks directed towards them!
2 -
Yeah was thinking this too. Pig with this could be amazing. I’m more tempted to see how it plays with stealth killers than to say it’s outright trash...
4 -
How quick we are to forget that the Spirit is viable BECAUSE Killers complained. She was trash in the ptb.
13 -
The attitude that some players have that "anything that isn't a free extra hit is TRASH" is pathetic. Plenty of us play survivor without just bringing the cheapest method of survival possible (4 safety nets for being ######### at survivor) and still do well.
Kate brought us Dance With Me which has added a different element to chases where you can juke much more easily and has strong synergy with other rushed-action perks. But it's not a free hit, and you can't use it to teabag behind pallets more so it's "trash."
Jeff brought Aftercare, a powerful aura reading perk that is exceptional for solo, or small group games. Breakdown, an informational tool and anti-tunnelling perk. Distortion, a direct counter to some of the most complained about killer perks in the game and a useful information tool for what perks the killer is running.
Jane's perks are great utility, alternatives to Self-Care, significant duration stealth at key moments in the match, and, if it were working, a fun and interesting alternative to "just run faster" perks.
Even Flip Flop is a perk that has huge potential to counter slugging and can have drastic effects when run with other slugging perks or saboutage builds.
But no, if I don't get to turn off my brain and get 6 hits in a match that just don't count, it's a trash perk.
Compare these to "I'm All Ears" which will never trigger once on 90% of killers? Yeah, THAT'S a trash perk.

Because Detective's Hunch is rendered mute if you are unable to complete a gen and all it does is show you objects that are really easy to find without it, not to mention there are more focused perks that completely destroy its usability if you want to find something specific (totems, chests, etc.) As for Stake Out, it is completely countered by low terror radius killers and you only get 4 tokens max for it; it's not terrible, but turning 4 normal RNG based skillchecks into great ones is not worth it imo. Similar to Detective's Hunch, you can take better and more focused perks instead of Stake Out that don't have an inconsistent prerequisite (Leader/Botany for healing or Prove Thyself for gens).
5 -
Hell, I'd be way more interested if "I'm All Ears" showed the aura if a fast vault was done while IN the TR. Then it would be similar to Alert in a chase.
Outside of TR means jack #########.
6 -
If it worked in TR, it would be way too powerful on Nurse seeing as it is a whole 6 seconds, plus it would become worthless on stealth killers, but let's see how well it plays out in the PTB, they'll always have time to change it.
2 -
Pig with I'm all ears is going to be interesting indeed... same with wraith.... and all the lower TR killers (24 meters) are going to be great with a combo of the 2 perks I forget the obsession perk name but that with I'm all ears is going to be good... the 24 meter killers will have an 8meter radius at 4 token... so hag with T1 myers TR while in chase...
1 -
You are forgetting that it is only reduced while in chase, not at all times. IE you would never run it on any of the lower TR killers as you'd prefer M&A and using them both is counter intuitive.
2 -
No I said right at the end of my comment "while in chase" M&A has the fov yes which makes valuable for me personally because the fov sucks but when it comes to the TR at 4 tokens Myers would only have 0 TR at T2 making him like the perfect killer to make use of the ears perk...
May be I'm wrong and I'm just trying to be optimistic but the idea the devs are pushing for is interesting imo and it's great to see perks that are especially good stealth killers
3 -
I'm Sorry, but Tapp's perks are not trash at all.
3 -
If Freddy keeps his aura reading he could use the TR perk make him a 12m TR killer from there throw up the paintbrush and you have a 0m killer with 0 chance of dropping a chase.
0 -
The killer queues seem pretty quick to me
0 -
Because he is a second chance survivor main
1 -
Well I'm pretty sure he's getting his addons changed so he wouldn't have that.
They actually didn't specify about his aura reading but I would assume that is gone as well.
1 -
Even with no addon you could get it down to 0 with just 6 hooks
0 -
I always love this comment. Killer being comparatively easier now doesn't mean the game is balanced, nor does it mean killer is easy now. It just means killer used to be more difficult.
6 -
+1 Exactly.
3 -
Good survivor perks? Yamaoka Estate, Crotus Prenn, Temple of Purgation, Ormond. I'd count those as survivor perks, to be honest.
7 -
I wish more people understood this. Is the game better than it used to be? Yes. Is the game in a good state balance wise? God no. Not even close. The fact that it used to be even worse is just.. yikes.
8 -
Crotus Prenn? Only if RNG is godly in the survivors' favor.
