New aura system
Comments
-
The new auras are too transparent. Any aura reading perk is nerfed now. BBQ & Chilli now provides virtually no information. Their auras are the exact same color as gens so they can be working on a gen and just blend into it.
So now I'm never afraid to keep gen rushing. Bbq and chilli will be replaced with thrilling tremor now for more accurate information.
With the addition of the knock out buff, combined with the the terrible new auras, slugging seems to be more encouraged now.
Anyone else agree that the old auras were perfect and they should change it back?

BBQ is literally useless except for the bloodpoints. I have to squint just to catch a glimpse of the survivors and even then I'd be lucky to see anything. I have a hard time seeing gens unless I'm really close to them or in an open field.Please PLEASE revert them or make them less transparent.
And don't just think about me, think about the colorblind people who already had issues with the auras before the change, they're practically blind.

First time posting here, but hey. Everybody it's talking about billy and his nerf but... the new aura system it's just invisible, I CAN'T see any hook in the basement, pls fix this.
Can you see it? Because i can't . Srry bh but I can't.
I just... can't.

They also changed the auras on illusionary doctors. Which make them very hard to see. They were near invincible at times.

I can see some vague red spots but I'd never know Basement was there if you hadn't mentioned it.

Hey All, just hitting the dead horse a bit too here.
Im a number 1 fan of DBD, and I appreciate all the changes they make to the game, but the (voluntary?) change to auras is terrible.
It makes the game a lot less fun to play.
As a killer, you miss many hooks and generators, certainly when decor is in the path
As a killer, the perks that would allow you to see a player aura are as good as useless now.
As a survivor, The perks that show you the killer location such as Object of obession are useless, you have to look in the killer' s direction so long to make out a faint aura, that it gives him enough time to look at you back and spot you easy.
Hooked survivors or the gates opening are so damn fainth you have to guess where they are.
I mean, really, please developers, accept that this is not working and make the auras much more visible again.

I noticed when i passed through the shack and saw the downstairs. :/ Glad i'm not the only one.

Not to sound like a broken record, but perks like BBQ, are more or less now useless. Originally, the fact that they were brighter and stood out against the already dark colours of the map was a huge help to killers in locating Survivors easier, as opposed to having to play guess with perks like Whispers or similar.
It isn't good. These new changes to the Auras were god awful. I haven't experienced a single bug to do with Auras, and even then, I am willing to put money on the fact that for every bug where Auras didn't work, there were a hundred times where auras worked just fine.
And God help you if you're playing Killer with BBQ on Ormond. You might as well just DC if you're playing with BBQ on Ormond.
tl;dr
The Aura changes are goddamned awful, Devs. REVERT THE CHANGES!

A few times today i saw my tiny green shadow allies go for the save to my tiny red slit hooked ally.
So i diligently did gen work.
Only to realize they failed and realized i couldnt save my hooked ally coz i cant spot the tiny red slit through all the grass... dark brown wall and rocks.
Allies have died in the process.
Pls save more souls by making auras as auras.. not tiny red slits especially downed and hooked survivors..
After all these matches by the way i got sync errors... no BPs earned.
Made me stop playing

Okay, we have the update and Tome IV, but why are auras like this? I can't see my traps even they are 15 meters away. Is this a nerf to maps, BBQ&Chili, Object of Obsession and other aura-reading perks?
0 -
Devs, we REALLY hate these new changes to the aura system. The fact that both sides are complaining most hopefully ring some bells. It was fine the way it was please reconsider and change it back.

all devs who made new aura and who approved it should be fired. they can't do their jobs at all.

The newest update on July 28th changed the appearance of the auras. I’m rarely one to complain, but I can hardly see the auras now with the new outline type look to them. Maybe that was the point of the change to increase the difficulty, but I’m not a big fan. It’s rendered my favorite aura reading perks practically useless. I play on a PS4 and I already have to sit close as it is so I don’t strain my eyes on skill checks playing hours at a time. Love this game, however the new appearance of the auras is really disappointing.

jfc. revert this garbage already. can't believe no hotfix.
4 -
These new auras are a disgrace, it makes the game borderline unplayable. That they've failed to respond to the criticism already speaks miles.
4 -
I mean, this HAS to be some kind of joke.
2 -
Holy crap, they literally ruined the game with those disgraceful aureas.I don't want to lose my eyes or put the head inside the monitor because of this "rework".
Please change them back as before
2 -
I've been having a blast on dbd for the last 3 weeks, but honestly.. I'm done for now. These auras really do make me hate the game. Hopefully they'll fix them soon
The more you notice how bad they are the more you hate it. I can't even stand playing anymore, squinting trying to make out where my teamates are or what the hell is even going on.
3 -
Ok, all it would take is anyone with a brain in the DBD Dev team to load up the snowy map and look at the auras. lol. . It's comical
3 -
True, but I just played in coldwind factory map and can't see any surv auras with BBQ on, those new auras are impossible to detect in all maps
1 -
yeah, on some maps its literally invisible... Please revert back to the good old auras.
4 -
yea, looks like no basement is there... crazy stuff. PLEASE REVERT THESE AURAS, THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

Someone using Kindred actually screwed me. I couldn't see which way the killer was going. The aura update is really freaking bad. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. Not everyone sits with their face in the damn screen.
Bless any color blind people..
1 -
The aura change is affecting my gameplay and not in a good way, i can't see the basement hooks, i can't see survivors with BBQ, i can't see my totems. Before this patch i didn't have this problem, so please revert the changes or fix this auras.
2 -
I agree

Can we make a petition to make the auras back the way they were?? Haha
2 -
Can we make a petition to revert the auras back to normal please? Haha
3 -
New auras are unanimously hated. Let's start a petition to get the old auras back <3
2 -
It's a nerf to DBD 👍

They wrote in Twitter that they are working on a fix asap. *shrugs*

This thread is 13 pages deep and they only post about it in a REPLY on Twitter...un-freaking believable.

BBQ is now useless.
2 -
So many people say they hate the new auras. Can we just have a trigger to choose and maybe call the new ones “crystal auras?” Because I really like them
0 -
I hope they will :c

I'm a survivior main and auras suck now - fix them!

Auras are ######### now, good job.

Change them back, how many stupid "updates" Behavior?
1 -
I'm a survivor main and I agree 100%!

I don’t like the new Aura system, I can barely even see anyone working on a generator with BBQ. And Kindred is also not as useful, Please bring back the old auras
1 -
They sure look nice, but aren't very good gameplay wise. I couldn't see where the killer hooked a team mate in Ormond during the EGC. I'm afraid to try playing Trapper with the new auras, worried I'll step on my own traps. I've also heard that colorblind people are struggling trying to see the new auras.
1 -
It's impossible to use Hex totems as well at this point, making the challenges with the Hag extremely hard. Plus when the entity takes a survivor? That just looks like a bit of a mess thanks to the new auras.

To put it here, it has been commented on:
3 -
I hope that the new changes doesn't make them more invisible then now 😂
Personally I would just the old auras back without any "new rework" because I don't expect nothing good
1 -
oh phewwwww THANK YOU!!! MUCH LOVE

Uh, Hillbilly is not nerfed at all. His new "heat-up" mechanic was reduced to the point of being unnoticeable. All they actually changed were his add-ons, which is what needed the most work. His base kit is basically still identical.
1 -
They should fix things that are broken
It's not like dbd is a perfect game without bugs
1 -
they can pretend they are working hard by fixing broken system after break it by their own hand.
