Well boys, they did it. Ghostface is no more.
They actually went through with the nerfs even though he was perfectly fine. The only one i kinda like is the 8% increase of spotting area bc its so small and may make it better for survs. HOWEVER what the ######### devs... he played just fine and im gonna poo if locker teleport isnt added to him by early 2020...

What are you talking about? They removed the shroud noises so it is harder to be heard.

Wait what? He got nerfed?
4 -
They did remove that vacuum cleaner sound whenever he is in stealth, which is a notable plus IMO.
8 -
Im talking in regards to the nerfs. Unnecessary. The sound thing is solid but i did like the noise and he still isnt viable
1 -
I like the changes he's more fair and much more viable thanks to sound changes.
5 -
The increase radius buff/nerf (Depending on which side you play) is pretty stupid, and the stalk refill removal is pretty stupid (And the only "major nerf" imo) but that doesn't "kill him" as a killer, he's still pretty good as far as M1 killer goes.
Also locker teleport is the most stupid power idea i've ever seen for any killer and i'm glad it's not a thing, no idea why some people want it either with how ######### locker spawns are at times.

Are the stretchy leather noises directional as well? Either way it should help alot. I already accepted that his expose ability is something that isn't going to get much use pre-nerf so I'm kind of whatever on the change. I was mainly using NS just to get people to go give their position away and complicate chases.

According to the patch notes, leather rubbing sounds are still there.

Well they got rid of the noise he made, finally. No idea why it was a thing to begin with.
They ruined his Stalk add-ons which was NOT NECESSARY and they increased his Detection area which was also not necessary.
Keywords being NOT and NECESSARY
Why the ######### do it? I guess it's not necessary to nerf other Killer add-ons then, they don't need the extra percentage. How about they increase trap setting time again, it's not necessary so they should do that too. Yes this is pointless childish complaining right here but that's the point. He wasn't broken like Legion was so why go through the unnecessary tweak of making a Killer less viable? Oh he's walking on two legs, he should be walking with crutches.

I don't know why they crying about supposedly 'nerfs'. You still cannot reveal him if he moves behind an object or just moves really. And he can still stack stalk rates off you while you looking at him. This is the main problem with him. He designed as stealth killer and currently even if he is not stealthy at all he can manage exposed pretty easily.
But getting rid of that sound is a good start to make him the sneaky killer he is intended to be.

hes viable but not powerful since he dosent have any mobility or map preassure survivors can reveal ghostface behind a wall or a rock and ghostface cannot fight back against this issue you cannot stalk you cannot do nothing i probably say that hes still mid tier or below mid tier

most of the community was against this and still u guys didnt listen and just went trough with this. no one was asking for this bs.

It is too easy to reveal to GF, you can not make it so easy to reveal GF while the only GF tool to not be an M1 is your ACTION POWER, now it looks easier, and there are some occasions where the survivors reveal GF in Places where it does not make sense. You can not annul a killer like that, what you're doing is like a trapper, where the survivors used to sabotage YOUR TRAPS ...

For people who think he's too easy to reveal: i can't help but think you're not even trying to hide to use his power. If you do, you have PLENTY of time to hide before they can reveal you.

I agree, as far as mechanics go he is well balanced not like freddy was where his power itself was just garbage. However, I do agree with them that the extended 'sweet spot' was also not the way to go. However, we also need to remember these are number changes. His problems are not full blown mechanics that are broken he needs stat adjustments. These are probably extremely basic changes.
2 -
Oh nooo they bugfixed him, made some qol changes, nerfed add-ons that actually had a broken interaction, buffed other add-ons, and gave him a MASSIVE stealth buff. He's ruined
3 -
That's quite bold of you to make an announced nerf change like that to GhostFace that was only released an hour later on that day you know? Hmmm?
2 -
Just played against him, its good that the stealth noise is gone,I feel some gen grabs coming on
0 -
I'm just happy he can't keep filling the exposed meter by just ducking in and out of cover anymore.
0 -
How is that? Can't he still do that? If he moves constantly your reveal process starts all over.
My main complain about GF changes, now it takes really long to to activate night shroud.
We love and buy these killers because we love their special powers. And after release, developers make adjustments in the wrong direction imo. They should restrict basic killer powers and make more about their special powers. I don't want to wait too long to activate my power just to lose it in seconds. I used to love playing as Legion, now I can't stand them. Frenzy which supposed to be their specialty, is useless as it comes. And the Ghost Face long recovery activation time makes him dull to play as.

Locker teleport

I’m so happy with this Change. It was nearly impossible to reveal him before even if I was staring directly at him standing up 5 feet away. It was broken.
0 -
@Peanits YES!!!! Thank you for taking away the turbine sound!!!! You guys ROCK! Just got done playing as him and had a blast. Sometimes, he does get taken out when they are behind cover but I was able to grab people off gens today at Rank 4 XD God, I'm glad you guys took that sound out.
1 -
You know ur making pathetic complaints when a dev has to comment on ur thread calling out how you didn't even wait an hour to espouse against the changes
0 -
Is he dead like new legion is dead? Because they're both pretty freaking fun to play.
0 -
by that logic, he should have been played with before it was decided that he should be nerfed. You see, every killer has been nerfed with little knowledge of how they would be played on the live build. Practice what you preach.
0 -
DID THEY wait before deciding to nerf?
0 -
The locker thing would be more about getting around rather than stalking. Similar to how reverse bear traps arent meant to kill.
