*Your* Dream Patch Notes? What Would They Look Like?

Dead Hard - Removed the distance gained from using this perk

Sprint burst - Survivors who go into the game with this equipped will be wearing a diaper since its “babys first crutch perk”

NOED - If the killer has stayed in proximity of hooked survivors for more than 30 seconds ir hooked the same survivor 3 times in a row then NOED does not activate

Legion - “We discovered that players did not enjoy the Legion therefore we have removed him from the game”

Claudette - Now has a bright glow around her P3 cosmetics

What about "Reverted the Billy basekit changes, and removed the roar"? Didn't you say you quit playing him because of those changes?

Memento Mori Changes

Cypress (Unchanged)

Ivory

• Once the killer has hooked survivors six times, the Mori activates.
• Once active, you may kill one survivor by your own hand.

Ebony

• Once the killer has hooked survivors six times, the Mori activates.
• Once active, you may kill all survivors by your own hand.

MMR

Matchmaking has been re-enabled.

It actually works now.

You have a visible MMR number.

Solo-SWF equalization

Survivors now have local voice chat with the other members of their team.

They also have a radio on their person, which allows them to use a global voice chat, but you are limited in how much you can use that by the 30 second battery life on the radio.

It will recharge over time.

Keys

Dull and Skeleton keys no longer have the ability to open the hatch.

All keys now have the Mind Channel ability at base, revealing the auras of all survivors within 32 meters.

Add-ons have been adjusted accordingly.

Perk Tiers

KIller perks no longer have tiers. If you've unlocked the perk, you have the perk at its full value.

Survivor perks no longer need to be leveled up in the blood-web. They are now levelled in the trial.

PUSTULA

A secondary objective for survivors.

At the start of the trial, all survivor perks exist as their tier 1 version. By gathering Serum from Pustula Plants, survivors can level up their perks.

There are four plants in the trial at a time. A single plant contains enough Pustula for two perks to be levelled up.

If a plant is harvested all the way, it will shrivel to nothing and another plant will appear elsewhere in the trial.

The killer can stomp out plants they find. They will still reappear, but it will take an additional 30 seconds.

Trial Startup

At the start of the trial, all generators are blocked by the Entity.

They will remain blocked until either the Killer initiates the first chase, or until the survivors collectively harvest four Pustula Plants.

Survivor Perk Changes

Decisive Strike

• Stun duration reduced from 5 seconds to 3
• Timer now ends immediately if you perform the Repair action, enter a locker, or if the killer hooks another survivor.

Sprint Burst

• No longer applies a haste upon starting a run action.
• Now increases the duration of your post-hit sprint from 2 seconds to 4.

Adrenaline

• No longer "Wakes Up" survivors.
• The perk will no longer trigger if the survivor was Exhausted.

Dead hard

• No longer causes you to dash and become invulnerable.
• Now causes you to gain the Endurance status for 0.75 seconds.
  • There is no associated Deep Wounds timer. MoM style Endurance.
  • Note that you still retain collision. If you are struck, you get a speed boost instead of the attack going through you. You cannot Dead Hard through a killer. Dead Hard will not allow you to pass over a Bear Trap unharmed.
• Animation changed from a "Dab" to a white glint passing over the survivors body.

Killer Changes

The Trapper

• No longer has a limit on the number of Traps he can carry at once.
• Now starts with 3 of his 6 traps in-hand.
• The other three are no longer scattered around the map. Trapper will gain one every two minutes as the trial progresses.
• The Trapper can now recall distant traps to his hand, remotely disarming them and returning them to his inventory after a 30 second delay.

The Wraith

• Increased cloaked movement speed from 5.06 m/s to 8 m/s
• The Wraith now has free pathing while cloaked, allowing him to fly and walk through walls.
  • He can only uncloak while he is not inside a wall and his feet are on solid ground.
• The Wraith's uncloak haste is now an active ability that is refreshed upon cloaking and is automatically used on uncloaking. When the ability is ready, hold M2 for a single hit of the bell to gain a 1.5x speed multiplier for 1 second. 10 second recharge.
• The Wraith is now fully invisible while cloaked.
• Bone Clapper is now baseline functionality
• The Wraith is now immune to detection perks while cloaked
• "The Serpent" now allows for attacks immediately after completing the action.

The Nurse

• Fixed all the goddamn bugs with the blink.
• Updated her add-ons... some of these got hit way too hard.

The Shape

• Now uses the same stalk paradigm as Ghostface
  • It is more lenient for what is considered "stalking" and does not have stalk fall off with distance.
• There is no longer a limited amount of Evil available in the trial.
• Tier 1 renamed to "Stalker State"
  • Undetectable
  • Immune to detection
  • Stalk 30% faster, but cannot stalk beyond 75% progression to your Rampage.
  • Move at 4.2 m/s
  • Press LCtrl at any time to change to the "Slasher State"
  • Stalking performed in this state is now kept as progress towards Rampage (tier 3), not towards Slasher (tier 2)
• Tier 2 renamed to "Slasher State"
  • Reduced TR
  • Normal Speed
  • Normal Lunge
  • Slightly increased vault
  • If it has been at least 30 seconds since you last exited it, press LCtrl to enter the "Stalker State"
  • If you reach 100% stalk progress while in "Slasher State", automatically enter "Rampage".
• Tier 3 renamed to "Rampage"
  • Also provides increased break speeds
  • No longer increases the duration of your lunge, now increases your speed multiplier during the lunge

The Doctor

• I won't go into specifics due to just how much work this killer needs, but I'd like to see him reworked again, this time centered around tricking people with Madness induced hallucinations (which was supposed to be his schtick when he released) instead of just spamming shocks and preventing pallet play.

The Huntress

• Reworked Iridescent Heads. They now allow hatchets to pass through one piece of terrain before being stopped. No longer reduces your ammo count.
• Huntress can now recover missed hatchets from the ground, the same way Trapper can pick up Bear Traps.
• Added a Crosshair in the options menu.

The Nightmare

• Reverted Sleep paradigm to old Freddy, where he has enhanced tracking on sleeping survivors but cannot attack awake survivors. Kept aspects of current Freddy (Sleep Cycle and Alarm Clocks) while leaving some aspects of old Freddy dead (action slow, skill check wake up).
• Renamed Dream Snares to Dream Pools. They do not interact with survivors, and survivors cannot see them. Freddy can see their auras. Freddy can place Pools the same way he places Snares now, but Pools work on a charge system and must be recharged if used up.
• Dream Projection can target Dream Pools, destroying the pool on arrival. CD reduced to 12 seconds. Can no longer target generators.
• Add-ons overhauled. Dream pallets do not exist anymore.

The Pig

• The key is no longer randomly placed. It is now placed manually (and remotely) by The Pig. To prevent camping a box, there must be two correct keys. To compensate for this, increased the number of boxes and decreased the death timer duration.
• Increased movement speed while crouched, decreased crouch/uncrouch times.
• Traps now activate upon regaining control of your character.
• If there is a ticking trap, the Endgame Collapse will pause.

The Clown

• Clown can now choose between Underhand (same as live, heavy upward momentum) and Overhand (same as Huntress, mostly forward momentum) throws.
• Direct bottle hits now apply a 2.5 second action lockout, same as Doctor.
• Increased slow from 15% to 20%
• Decreased reload time from 5 seconds to 2.5 (add-ons adjusted)

The Spirit

• Removed passive phasing. The Spirit can now manually initiate a mini-phase by pressing LCtrl. This effect has an 8 second CD.
• The Spirit's footsteps are now more audible to survivors, including in phase.

The Legion

• Fully reworked into a multiplayer killer.

The Plague

• If survivors cleanse enough to fill all your pools of devotion, the auto-corruption will cause one pool to be consumed rather than all of them.

The Ghost Face

• Power CD reduced from 30 seconds to 20. Add-ons adjusted.

The Demogorgon

• Updated the Upside-Down. After digging into the ground via a portal, you can swim around blindly in the Upside-Down at a tremendously increased speed before erupting into the real world at a time/place of your choosing. You can emerge faster by exiting through a portal.

The Deathslinger

• Added a crosshair in the options menu.
• It is now possible to cancel your reload action.

The Executioner

• Reworked Torment. Build up torment on survivors by forcing them through Trails or by damaging them. Survivors who reach maximum Torment can be killed by your own hand. To get rid of Torment, survivors must enter Cages of Atonement of their own accord, causing them to drain away their Torment over time in exchange for reducing their remaining time on a hook. They can leave whenever they want, but if the Executioner comes within close enough range of a survivor in a cage to strike them with Punishment of the Damned, he can lock them into the cage, causing them to require the assistance of an ally.

The Blight

• The Blight can now perform attacks during his Slam period without having to Rush.
• The Blight now bounces backward less after a Slam.
• Increased The Blight's movement speed during the Slam period.

Due to actual feedback, we have discovered that Decisive Strike is too common and has too much utility. It has been reworked to fit one very specific, niche use, instead of being used aggressively.

• DS now activates twice for 20 seconds (after being unhooked).
• The timer is paused if slugged or in a chase.
• The timer deactivates if progress is made on a gen, hiding in a locker, or you go to full health.
• DS still works functionally the same, but has a cooldown of 180 seconds per use.

This would fill the role of anti-tunnel much better than the old version.

Gens now have different types of skill checks, and they do not act the similarly to each other.

They are easier when you look at a gen, looking away causes them to decrease by 50%.

If a gen is not being worked on, it will regress.

Ruin has been reworked to increase the regression bonus, as well as reintroducing the old skill check aspect for fairness.

Knockout now works on all attacks.

Yeah, it's a lot. But I feel a lot needs reworked.

Off The Record might need to be cut down a little in time, but I think it'd be a strong anti-tunneling perk that killers probably wouldn't mind too much. (And it can only activate twice per match.) I think we need to really shake up the meta a bit, though.

Cruel Limits might also need a time reduction with that change. But it's hard to make useful otherwise, and it can only proc 5 times per match. And Survivors would still have pallets. It'd be a strong chase perk, for sure though.

My goal was to buff perks to the point where people might actually have a reason to use them, instead of relying on the current meta. So many perks are just useless on both sides now. Why run anything but DS/Unbreakable? Why run anything but Ruin/Undying? Why would anyone really run current Off the Record? It's a weaker version of Iron Will with built in distortion. Killers don't often use Aura reading perks, though. So it's not really worth it imo. Why run Hang Man's Trick? The aura reading basically gives you no information 90% of the time. It's probably the worst perk in the game right now. It'd be nice if we had a variety of perks to choose from that aren't really niche perks or things we run because we're bored.

Ruin doesn't need buffed at all. Like... before Undying was a thing, I'd maybe agree with you.

Mine doesn't gut survivors at all. A couple of minor nerfs, with some killer buffs. But also some survivor buffs.

Clown can do the jack off gesture again (WHY REMOVE THIS, IT WAS FUNNY)

deleted decisive

Oni gets a shrek skin

Plague's corrupt purge can destroy pallets and breakable walls (iridescent addon pls)

Ghostface gets a second mori where he teabags the survivor to death

make their 100 ranks

I would rather legacy have a way of being obtained (via difficult challenges or something so it is worth it) in game for platforms that never had a chance. If crossplay didn't exist, this wouldn't be an issue, but since it does, it is just a PC exclusive. Similar to Nintendo having a Trapper exclusive set for the Switch and the Deathgarden cosmetics. They said they would stop doing that with the Summer BBQ, but have this special place for legacy. Just seems like PC favoritism to me... but maybe I am just a console player who doesn't know any better... even though I played from when console first released DBD... : /
