I didn't realize how much of a problem The Plague's power actually is
The problem that I'm referring to is the sound aspect of being sick, when I play survivor I usually play between a couple that I have all the perks on, Dwight is not one of them, but I've been playing him recently. I've played the game since before the Plague was added but I just had my first game against her as Dwight and let me tell you, his sick sounds are DISGUSTING I mean it was almost funny except that it wasn't, it's pretty gross and ridiculous, especially when on a gen he's literally throwing up every 2 seconds.
I play killer about as much as I play survivor I don't main anyone, I play variety with half the roster and rarely play as Plague but sometimes play as everyone (usually for challenges). The few games that I've played with Plague it always seems like the survivors are sick of the game (pun intended), I mean it's obvious that no one wants to listen to their character throwing up all the time which will happen any time the survivors try to deny the Plague her upgraded power (red puke), in fact I'd say the Plague is flawed from a design standpoint for that alone. I can only imagine some of the other sick sounds that exist in this game that I just haven't heard because Plague isn't that common and I usually play the same survivors (who happen to not have it as bad as Dwight and maybe others).
To summarize my point: Throw up sounds are so obnoxious on some survivors that it really should be changed, If they just removed the sound completely and made survivors leave a trail of slime while infected it would be a lot better, you can't hide while sick anyway even with Iron will, this change would make playing as Plague a little bit different but still as strong and survivors can just not listen to their character throw up all the time, seems like a win win but I'm sure the first reply will be someone saying it could never work. My reply to such a comment would be that the slime trail could be a green bloodhound effect and wouldn't be that hard to implement.
Thank you for coming to my DED Talk.

The constant vomit i think is a bug. I’ve gone against plauge many times but I’ve never thrown up as much as I have now so I’m positive it’s a bug. It also was just happening to me and not the other survivors in the match.

Well, it was my first Dwight vs Plague game so I don't know what his normal sick sounds are if it is in fact currently bugged, that being said, I think the majority of my post is still relevant, no one likes listening to vomit sounds and a green slime trail would be better.

There's an add-on that is reliant on Survivors vomiting.

LOL, you mean black incense the ultra rare? Litteraly the strongest addon in the game right next to Iri head hatchets for Huntress. Someone even upvoted your comment YIKES, it's not like that addon needs to be changed anyway. Well it wasn't the first reply but it was the second (not including mine), close enough.

I can confirm it’s a bug.

That's a pretty rude way of responding to someone just telling you there's an add-on for people puking. Is the puking really that unsettling for you? i mean i worry if you were to see the mori what you would do.

I'm rude? No you are in fact rude, you commented on my post without reading it, I'd say that's pretty rude. I said in the second sentence of my post that I've been playing the game for at least 2 years, so thanks for the concern but I've seen all the mori's I know all the perks, red rank both sides etc, so please save your worrying for someone else.

i mean i've been playing for 4+ years so what? i was saying you're being rude to the guy responding to your post by belittling it.

Yes and I'm saying that you're rude by commenting on a post that you didn't read. I caught you, can't change the subject, you said "i worry if you were to see the mori what you would do" on a post that states I've been playing for at least 2 years in the second sentence. Your conduct is improper and your opinions are invalid.

You commented on a post without reading it, don't try to deny it. You said "i worry if you were to see the mori what you would do" on a post that states I've been playing for at least 2 years in the second sentence.

I skimmed it. I'm not going to read your entire rant about plague and vomiting.

Have you heard Felix? 🤢

"skimmed it" Nice once, skimmed it but missed the second sentence, how about the part after "To summarize my point:" did you skim that part to?
Who actually likes listening to survivors throw up? I can't imagine anyone liking it, why defend the guy trying to dump on my idea by defending the black incense addon of all things? I came up with a viable idea on how to remove the throw up sounds without changing the Plagues power level, why don't you make a reply about that instead?

The "throw up" sound is used as a noise indicator to give away position. Much like pigs reverse beartrap, and being injured in general. Being sick makes them throw up and make more noise. I don't really think plague should get predator 2.0 for having made someone sick.

"predator 2.0" this is the kind of person I'm talking to...well I'm bored, if you won't read my post then I'm done replying to you.

"leave a trail of slime". I'm not belittling you in anyway, you're belittling anyone who either states that there is an add-on for why people puke, or disagree with you.

Tombstone piece, mint rag and scalped topknot are all better than black incense but it is a really good add-on I'll agree with that. I don't think it's too strong for an ultra rare though.

It's part of the power design to be sick, no sound would be lame as heck. Should they really change that cause its icky to some people? I have a friend who can't stand irl vomit and sounds, but she can deal with this because it's not that bad. Idk, change survivors if you don't like how he sounds.
The repetitiveness is what can be bad, especially with the bug.

If the plague bothers you so much maybe this game isn’t for you?

That's it time to break out the Plague tonight. She will be my main until I see you in a Match :)

Yeah recently I think sometimes it bugs out sometimes.
I fought a Plague last week I think as Steve, I was doing gens and he was literally non-stop puking it was hilarious to watch. I never saw that before usually there's a long interval between pukes.
