Question for the Youtube Q&A

Have you ever experimented with specific cosmetics being used to be more/less stealthy? I use Claudette because she is my favourite character just due to her generally anxiety-induced looking self but I love the idea of having darker clothes to hide whilst wearing brighter clothes when I want to distract the killer.

As more and more teachable perks are coming into the game, would you guys consider making more default perks for survivors/killers, also, would you be able to take suggestions from players at some point for perks (and then if these are not balanced, you guys could do it as you see fit to make them so.)?

What do you think about giving Vigil (that got hit hard by the last change to exhaustion perks) the additional effect of reducing the cooldown of perks such as Alert or Premonition?
Also, I would like to know your thoughts on the current state of sabotage.

Can we get a monthly/alltime leaderboard? Even a simple one would be fun, showing off kill ratios for those that have at least xx amount of games with that killer or an escape ratio for survivors.

Only count full 4survivor games with no DCs. Eventually maybe you can do something more detailed but for now I'd like to know how the best are doing.

Are you still working on remaking old and creating new tiles? Can you show us some examples? Some maps like Shelter Woods or Red Forest lack variety.

The following question is fairly asked in ranges 1 or half ranges (1-10). The killers in high ranges (1), we suffer that the most experienced survivors repair a generator very easily and if these survivors go in SWF I think that the repair is much easier. A killer aims to chase a survivor while others repair and if this survivor has a strong enough map, the killer suffers too much. In this part, as MClean said to Jendenisse we will have the "rework of the maps - redesign" since possibly the redesign of the maps may give the killers more time to catch the survivors, I do not mean that the killers always have to do 4k.
Therefore my question is:

• Will there be changes soon or will you put it on the priority list about any changes to the generators or new targets?

Have you thought about adding colorblind mode? Now after playing the BBQ event it's a fact you can change hook colors, so it would be nice to let us color blindness affected killers choose our own colors for gens, hooks, totems, tracks. Thanks

First time asking a question here, but there's only three that I'm interested in asking and I hope you don't mind my brief explanation on why I'm asking. I'm speaking from a relative newcomer in actual play, but i've been following the game for a good while now.

1: Do you think that there should be a punishment in play for an unhooked Survivor, such as a timed penalty to action speed, to give more incentive for the Killer to go away from the hook? As it stands, if the Killer leaves or gets lured and the survivor's unhooked, that's about it and we're back to square one a lot of the time.

2: I understand wanting to give the Survivors means to better escape the Killer or 'fight back', such as Pallets, Flashlights and Decisive Strike. However, do you feel that, in the case of Decisive Strike, that it's too easy for it to be abused by people at a higher level? I understand that you want to give a Survivor a one-time get-out-of-jail card for a hard skill check, but when a Killer functionally has to double their effort to get a Survivor to a hook, and there's four of them in a single match, it can be a bit much for most Killers to handle.

3: I understand that this is more a higher level issue, but as it is now generators can be done pretty fast by Survivors working in coordination with Survive With Friends, and while perks like Hex: Ruin and Overcharge can help, it doesn't change the fact that there are games where a Killer simply cannot do anything about it, especially if they're slower or more setup-focused ones like Doctor, Trapper, Pig and they already lost three gens for one hook. Is there any thoughts on changing Progression Speed, or do you feel that this is more complicated than a few numbers?

Can you make a separate mode for SWF and killers with increased buffs, instead of going the "buff solo players and killers to equate SWF" route that you seem to be currently in favor of?

For many players, I think we enjoy the horror aspect of the game with minimum information on both sides (and its simplicity), rather than the typical multiplayer competitive action games that are already abundant in this field. I think having two separate modes that are independently balanced for each will allow all types of players to enjoy the game, while making them much more balanced overall.

Are you currently working on, or planning to work on, performance optimisation for consoles and lower-end PCs?
