On a scale of 1 - 10 Excluding perks... how excited are you for The Blight's release?

Personally, I'm sitting at a 3.

    I'm actually a 7.

    I like their look, animations, and I had a lot of fun with their power on the PTB despite the clunkyness it had.

    I was honestly expecting a lot worse. So assuming he isn't nerfed a week after release, I think I'll greatly enjoy playing as him.

    I like them lorewise and those perks seem pretty cool. He also seems fun to play.

    Although he seems kind of ridiculous at a glance, I am excited that he'll add a fun (if somewhat goofy) new ability that looks like even survivors may enjoy... I'm at 8, because I see fun for both sides of the trial.

    I'm sitting at about a 5, matters on what QOL changes they do to him.

    A 2, at most. He's boring, from what I've seen. Even his perks don't excite me that much, because I don't trust Hex builds in general. That might change when I play him myself for a bit, but I don't expect much.

    Appearance, movement, power, the whole “needle heroin-esque junkie” vibe, Nothing about Blight appeals to me... think the name is silly, too.

    Haven’t heard anyone else with similar feelings, so I must have an unpopular opinion on him.

    He could end up having good sounds or chase music or sth like that, idk, maybs I’ll like those when I hear them. Doesn’t even have his own map, that’s always gonna take points off.

    Wasn’t excited about the idea of him as a killer when his character was first introduced into the lore an ppl were speculating he could possibly be playable in DBD as a survivor or killer.

    ... perks are good, perhaps too good.

    overall, Blight’s meh.

    More licensed killers/survivors pls

    More maps pls... MAPS!

    More worthwhile survivor perks pls

    I don’t know...I can’t remember being this underwhelmed for a killer/survivor release. I didn’t get a chance to play the PTB, so I won’t judge it yet, but I’m just not that excited.

    I'm excited for his perks.

    Im more of a...... "play lots of killers guy" but Blight's look, lore, and power design will mean he's going to be one I play a lot. So I'd say I'm around 7.5ish.

    I'm a total nerd for the Hallowed Blight lore because I thought it was cool, and I've been wanting the Alchemist to make his way here ever since the first event back in 2018.

    Im probably between 7-9 im pretty excited for him while also worried about how smooth he will play on console lol

    But overall he seems very very fun from what ive seen from Zubats ptb streams.

    I'm really hoping his power is intuitive. I know he's very susceptible to loops, but I hope getting his adept will be easy. Kinda nervous about him but I'll add him to my roster if not release day, the day after.

    I’m...curious to try him, but not confident I’ll like him. Seems finicky. I could yet be surprised though.

    Honestly, although you said “excluding perks”, it’s the perks and Felix I’m looking forward to.

    3 / 10.

    Seems to have nice perks that'll be nerfed hard on release but I doubt I'll ever play him.

    Sometimes people have different opinions. I was asking a question. You can get over yourself now :)

    I need to see the changes first. If they are good then I'm at a 7-8 because I like his concept and visual design. Good perks, too.

    Yeah because doing heroin definitely makes you sprint at superhuman speeds. Definitely doesn't knock you on your ass into a stupor.

    8 I love the way his power looks and i liked the game play i saw when he wasn't bumping into objects he shouldn't. he looks really good for traversal and catching up to survivors if they gain distance on him. I think really good blights will be able to hit any survivor caught out so he will be like oni but without the insta down but faster activation and his power will always be prevalent throughout the match.

    Was referencing the needles, and certainly the substance abuse being broadcast.

    Nowhere did I mention the effects.

    Possibly “stick” to putting words in your own mouth.

    0 he dont look fun to play and he look really clunky not only that but he have nothing for loop.

    But 100/10 because its the first junky they introduce and they let him shoot himself in the game love that heroine

    8/10

    Had a great time playing him on ptb, he is outrageously fun, and even with his jank he was still pretty effective when played with some creativity. Also super exited for a killer building upon existing lore, I think the character of the blight is neat too.

    I was anticipating more of a clever schemer type character, I'm sure the alchemist would have been more like that were he still the alchemist. If he were still the alchemist I would probably be at 10/10. But I think the mastermind devolved into a feral beast is also a very interesting character to play, he'll definitely be one of my favorites.
