One thing the Ghost Face release has reminded me of

Is how many garbage perks you need to muscle through before the good stuff comes in the Bloodweb.

Jesus Christ. Can we please consider for the future maybe getting rid of the tier system? Or enabling us to get 2 perks per Bloodweb? Or changing some borderline useless perks? I don't get why we have changes for Pop Goes The Weasel when it's already better than half of killer perks, or changes that keep Territorial Imperative useless, when there's so much more stuff that needs work.

1.6 million bloodpoints and no Enduring, Spirit Fury, BBQ, Ruin, Whispers or anything decent. But hey, at least I got tier 3 Hangman's Trick. Feels good, right? :^)

    my first tier 3 perks on ghost face have been ruin, whispers, blood warden, and spirit fury, can't complain

    not going to bother trying to get a lobby as killer on release day, though

    This killed release reminds me of Freddy's release. Nerfed during release into trash tier. However Ghostface seemed really good in the PTB. Ugh. My best friend and I were so excited for him too. :(

    OMG stop it with the drama

    He's still gonna be fine after the hotfix

    Drama?


    Im simply annoyed that the killer i bought today got nerfed and his power rendered useless. No need to be a jerk.

    I'm not being a jerk, I'm being realistic.

    Firstly, you haven't even tested the changes because they're not out yet, so you have zero clue if he's gonna be useless or if he's gonna be roughly the same as he is now power wise.

    Also, they're hosting a Q&A soon to talk about the changes.

    So it'd probably be better for your health if you wait until you know exactly what's gonna happen before you get angry. Except if being angry about something is actually what you want, then feel free to be.

    He's literally SS+ tier atm, the nerf's only taking him down to SS tier.

    He has nerfs out already. I can stalk then go and hide and STILL get spotted out of my power even while out of LOS. It pisses me off.

    That suuuuucks. I have thankfully already gotten tier 3 BBQ and Nurses. Calling on Ghostface. All I’m really missing is Ruin. I gotta have SOME game delaying perk especially with Ghostface.

    I was blessed....with my first 10 levels including Monstrous Shrine as my first Perk, Underwhelming Presence, Bloodhound, Territorial Imperative and Predator xD.


    Thankfully once I hit level 40-50 I got stuff I actually want and use like BBQ, Blood Warden 3, Ruin 3. Got excited when I got Spirit Fury, but only the first Rank, R.I.P. xD

    It wouldn't be a big deal if the perks they kept adding were at least decent. We just keep getting more garbage perks to be thrown into the pile of never to be seen again.

    Like I said a few weeks ago, Plague was at least OK-ish because some perks were useful on some killers (Infectious Fright for Nurse, Corrupt Intervention for Hag and Trapper). Legion only had Discordance of a somewhat useful perk. Spirit had good perks all around.

    Ghostface's only remotely useful perk is I'm All Ears for beginner killers who don't know the optimal path survivors take around loops yet. Other than that everything's garbo.

    I think Tremors isn’t okay but isn’t rather use bbq to see the same info

  • MegMain98

    @Blueberry The last few killers have at least had SOME redeeming perks.

    Plague had Infectious Fright and Corrupt Intervention, while not meta they are still useful for killers slugging builds or Hag and Trapper.

    Legion gave us Discordance which can be extremely useful for killers with high map control

    Spirit gave us a meta perk with Spirit Fury. Haunted Ground also has it’s use and Rancor isn’t bad.

    Clown had meh perks but all of them have some use.

    Pig gave us Make Your Choice and Surveillance which are honestly two great perks.

    I can go on and on but some of the more recent killers have had good perks but besides Spirit Fury, they aren’t making waves in the meta of BBQ, Ruin, and Nurses Calling unless you’re running a specific build.

    It can definitely be frustrating to have meme perks like Dark Devotion and Iron Maiden clog up the bloodweb. I do think killers have had better overall perks recently than survivor though.

    Infectious Fright and Corrupt Intervention are noob traps. They are both bad and not worth a perk slot. Corrupted intervention is only good on setup killer like Trapper or Hag, that's the only exception.

    The others you mention have had some decent use, but I'd call that like a 10% rate of getting decent perks.

    "I do think killers have had better overall perks recently than survivor though."

    Killers have had better ones overall lately, but that's because overall survivor perks are just way better in general than killer ones.

    It's more frustrating that there are so many perks they've released that COULD be great, they just don't make their numbers good enough. So many of them could see viability with the tiniest of tweaks.

    Infectious Fright is amazing on a good Nurse though.

    Other than that I agree.
