I know this has been asked for repeatedly but can you please pretty please just swap the numbers for tier 1 and Tier III.

Discordance is legitimately the only Perk in the entire game that gets worse the more you level it up it is so annoying to have this as a constant presence on the blood web because you don't want to level it up or something that you're forced to get if you're at lower levels of the blood web.

Ps: this only goes for Discordance surveillance is amazing the way it is. leave that alone

    Some of us prefer t3 over t1. I prefer the longer aura read than the noise spam

    agreed. i hate that i was forced to get level 3 of it on one of my killers because it kept showing up early.

    Noise spam isn't the reason why people like it at T1.

    The reason why is that the information it provides is a lot more valuable and reliable with tier 3 because the Aura reading stays for so long the gen that you're going to could have been completely abandoned by the time you get there.

    At T1 you get a consistent bit of information on whether it's abandoned or whether they are still two people working on it

    Wrong t3 is actually the better version it’s only your personal preference and opinion that it’s not

    I feel like this perk perfectly demonstrates why the tier system for perks is flawed. If you had some kind of control over what tier your perk is or when you get it, it would be fine,L but you’re at the mercy of RNG. And some tiers of a perk are just straight up not worth a perk slot.

    If you think that's OK that's fine but the vast majority of people have have already stated it several times that T1 is a lot better.

    Otz even did a whole video about it

    Well yeah that’s your personal preference but as the devs and a lot of others enjoy current t3 they said they won’t change it plus if they did it would spark issues as you can always tier it up to 3 we wouldn’t be able to go back to 1 if we prefer current discordance

    To sum up, discordance T1 will update in 8s (includes the sound notification and aura reading) so every 8 seconds you'll know that are 2 or more ppl on that gen. Discordance T3 will update in 12 seconds, so imagine you're in a chase, then discordance pop up.

    If it's T1, every 8 seconds you'll get a sound notification and the aura reading, so you can end chase (either by downing the survivor or just letting him go) and go to that gen.

    Now imagine discordance T3, It's 12 seconds, so by the time you cut the chase and go to the gen, it could still be yellow (aura reading) but no one will be there, so you let the chase go for "nothing".

    4 seconds doesn't seems that much but can really hurt you in the long run. Also, as @Volfawott said, Otz made a video on it, it's really informative.

    Lol.

    Are you going to explain how t3 is better? No?

    I know, its hard to actually come up with a reasonable argument when the facts are that t3 gives less information than t1. You can argue it doesn't but you would be undeniably wrong. The Aura only tells you that multiple survivors were working on that Gen, if it lasts longer then you have to wait longer before you know if they are still there.

    Ya the whole "This perk provides less accurate information as it's leveled" thing is rediculious. Just swap them already.

  • Volfawott
    Volfawott Member Posts: 3,893

    You phrase it like I'm the only person who has this opinion objectively from an information and usability standpoint tier 1 is better.

  • RizeAki
    RizeAki Member Posts: 1,209

    Cuz most people don’t want a bunch of explosions going off when they already know multiple survivors are over there you don’t need a ding every 8 seconds to know that but please don’t be getting all full yourself step down off your high horse none of this is an argument simply just telling what the devs said about the perk and how it won’t be changed

  • RizeAki
    RizeAki Member Posts: 1,209

    Why do you need a bunch of explosions when one literally tells you there are 2+ survivors over there already?

  • Volfawott
    Volfawott Member Posts: 3,893

    And just with that you completely missed the point of why it's better as I've said previously people have given you reasons why tier one is better you say that you just don't like to one because you don't like the amount of Explosions that is a personal preference.

    I hate to repeat myself because I already put this down when somebody questioned the explosions but it seems you don't read the posts here.

    Honestly if you can't be bothered to read the explanations people have given you I can't be bothered to retype it or requote it so you just get a screenshot

  • RizeAki
    RizeAki Member Posts: 1,209

    ill start by saying it is yours and others personal preference not mine as I like the perk as intended you are trying to get it changed for your preference and on the other topic what games you getting where survivors are cross map within 8-12 seconds? Cuz I’m pretty sure no matter what if it’s yellow when you get there someone is still there you don’t need explosions to tell you that one explosion per 12 seconds with an aura is enough

    I used to agree that tier 1 was better but now after running this perk since release, I prefer tier 3. The loud noise notifications are super distracting especially while in a chase & regardless if the two people are still there or not, you’re going to wanna kick the gen and search the area.

    Longer aura reading is helpful so you don’t lose track of the gen in case one of them runs away. Typically one survivor leaves the gen while the other finishes it.

    I prefer three because of the less audio notifications. If they adjusted it so the aura refreshed every 8 but didn't spam the noise that frequently I'd be cool with that but with how it is now I'll take 3 over 1 any day.
