New flashlight

The Sway is to add more Skill to the Flashlight and give a Purpose to the Accuracy Add-Ons, it even is said in a Quote on one of the Grip Add-Ons that many Deaths have been caused from "Sweaty Hands."

I actually like the Mechanic. However I still think all Survivor Items need a passover, and should be made more in-depth but not buffed (Keys need a Nerf with the Hatch Mechanic, but I'd be down for them unlocking chests, and having less outdated aura reading mechanics, same with Maps). I think Items should be made more complex. Have a set amount of Add-Ons similar to Killers.

this sway doesn't actually add more skill to the flashlight because the position that you aim changes every time you turn your flashlight on, adding a luck factor to the flashlight.

and the fact that it doesnt indicate a blind anymore, 75% of the satisfaction is gone...

I don't know I personally have found it very nice. And I'm a console player. Besides, CJ Techs have hardly ever existed on Console, or against any killer with a Brain. :/

Personally I'm not for the arguments that RNG=/=Skill because that's just another example of the Black and White Fallacy. There is a large grey space where RNG and Skill can exist. For example, a balanced map such as Shelter Woods has RNG to it, but with my knowledge of where pallets/loops spawn I can still keep a good pallet economy which is an example or RNG and Skill overlapping.

Similarly with Flashlights; but to much less a degree of skill, I simply need to slightly adjust my thumbstick so the flashlight lands where it needs to be if my Survivor is slightly off; another--dare I say it--EXTREMELY basic example of skill and RNG overlapping. I'm not sure how Aiming became such an extreme burden to the Dead By Daylight community all of a sudden. If the change is extremely overbearing for you, perhaps consider running some Add-Ons that you may not have considered such as the Grips or the Lens that Widen the Flashlight Beam instead of just slapping on Double Batteries, or Odd Bulb and calling it good.

-Only issues w/ Flashlights I've noticed is the lack of an indicator showing the blind. Every other aspect has been all smooth sailing for me. And no; I have no intentions of doing CJ Techs because the Killers I face don't entertain Survivors who're obviously up to something tricky. They just face the other way and pick the person up. Because the Killers I face do not have the TIME to waste, because Survivor teams are efficient. :/

-But I'm not here to argue on whether or not I can do the CJ Tech or if I can moonwalk or whatever other "Tech" that exists that someone w/ a good knowledge of the game could figure out.

-What I will argue about however is the Sway. If you aim up, and the flashlight still aims down. All you need to do. Is push your analog stick further up; so the beam is in the Killers eyes. It's worked for me- Every time. CONSISTANTLY. (since that seems to be something y'all are desperate for in "skillful" plays).

-But I still don't know how Muscle Memory is more skillful than Reflex- You'd think a more demanding activity requires more skill from the Player but maybe I just don't know anything anymore. :)

i'm not talking about the sway that occurs when you're already using your flashlight, i'm talking about a randomizer - when you're going to turn on your flashlight, you will aim at different locations

sometimes you'll aim really far from the killer - possibly screwing up your flashlight save. you can test this by yourself.

like i said, they added a luck factor to the flashlight because you don't know when you'll be aiming at when you turn it on, they didn't make it more skillful.

Also, we already had a sway, the only difference is that the location that you aimed didn't change everytime you turned your flashlight on.

Could be anything tbh. I just want an answer and less of this "We can ignore our community" stuff when it comes to topics like this.

Funny one of them one community manager award lol
