Title, i'll be giving my thoughts on the contents of the new dev update


The Good

HUD Update: I personally didn't really see why they felt the need to change it, but after looking at the notes i think this will be a very positive change, it's so much cleaner now and you'll be able to keep tracked of who's been hooked and how many times so much easier now

New Survivor Animations: Making the game look smoother is always a plus, my personal favourite are the new flashlight animation and the picking yourself up animation, they look great

Matchmaking Rewards: Goddamn yes, anything to reduce the grind and give people a reason to rank up

Crotus Prenn and The Game updates: Continuing to make the maps look goddamn amazing, Crotus especially, you really get the sense that some ######### went down now instead of the bland and generic abandoned building it used to be

Wraith and Trapper changes: The 2 are contenders for most outdated killers in the game and giving them changes that bring them more up to speed is always a plus

Undying changes: We all knew this was going to happen and i think they did the right thing here, now you only have to cleanse 2 hexes instead of all of them, and now that the aura reading is stuck to dulls Killers now have to actually take time to check their hexes instead of only going when they see a aura

other perk buffs: straight buffing Iron Maiden, Second Wind, Diversion, Open Handed and Fixated is nothing short of awesome


The Bad

The lack of changes to DS: Undying got hit in the right places but DS haven't been touched, now that undying's nerfed can we see DS nerfed down as well? just reduce the time to 45 seconds so that it's the same duration as PGTW or something

Coldwind being left in the dust: No updates on that, was really hoping the final of the original 3 would be bought up to snuff, still happy with what we're getting but man does Coldwind feel like it's getting shafted

Clown Update: I mean, it's better then nothing but at the same time, what a let down, so many concepts, so many different ways to change his power and all we're getting is a type of bottle that makes everyone, including other survivors, faster...yayyyyyyy

No new Killer animations: I understand needing to manage workloads but still, kinda sucks that killers aren't getting new animations like Survs are this patch

The "We will see"

Undying keeps tokens: I am...on the fence about this, this just feels like it'll make DH insanely powerful

Deep Wound changes: i mean, Deep Wound was kinda just...there, it was never a issue for me personally but maybe someone else had problems with it, i don't know

MMR: I am seriously worried about if this will be a repeat of last time or if it will actually work, if it works, great, if it doesn't, devs, prepare for a LOT of complaining again, just throwing that out there

those are my thoughts, can't wait for this update, hopefully my fears in MMR and Clown's lackluster rework will be misplaced, we shall see
