This perk should award blood points for safe cage rescues as well.

I get why other perks, ones that affect the actual game do not count and that is totally fine. I wish BBQ counted points at least as well however I get why it doesn't, given you know what you are giving up in return for being able to quickly cage and avoid certain things as Pyramid head. That all makes sense, sure no problem.

It doesn't affect anything, it just gives you blood points for helping people that's it, I feel that is still something that it should give points for.

Having the entire perk just not do that all because someone is playing a certain character, is really annoying and often leaves me begrudging the killer for something not really their fault.

Again, because I know what folks are going to try and say here so I want to make this abundantly clear; it would change nothing except allow blood point earnings for saving team mates safety still, that's it. There is no gameplay affecting thing in the mix there.

    The problem with your idea are exceptions. Once WGLF is allowed to activate on an uncage, suddenly all survivors will be begging for their much more powerful perks to also activate on uncage and it'll end up with PH's caged becoming completely worthless. This is essentially how Huntress Lullaby and Unnerving Presence got nerved, they had exceptions

    That's a ridiculous argument against it, you could say that about literally anything. "We can't nerf DS because then killers will demand every powerful survivor perk be nerfed" if no argument of substance actually exists against something- that generally means it's a good idea to make that change.

    So there is still no actual "problem" here. If we lived in fear of other people having an opinion about other things and stopped making any change based on that dear god nothing would ever get done ever.


    Also. it wouldn't even be an exception it would literally just be changed to "Safe unhooks or cage rescues". Easy, no problem. Affects nothing gameplay wise it's not like BBQ or DS which have hook based mechanics to their actual functionality balance wise to the character.

    Furthermore; imagine if you were told that anytime you hook a Claudette, Jake, Dwight, or Meg with BBQ and chill you would get no bonus bloodpoints. Sure you can still use the perk, and you still get BP normally a lot of the time; but just because of what character someone else plays you don't get that bonus sometimes.


    It's not a BIG deal it's just a small thing that would be worth addressing whenever someone at bhvr has the time to do it.

    Normally, I'd argue...

    However, WGLF is technically not a hook perk, similar to Adrenaline. Given there is already a "safe uncage" score event, I don't see the harm in it.

    I don't see a problem with that.

    I'd personally like the BBQ BP bonus as well (NOT the aura reading) since at that point you're giving up a whole perk for literally just BP's. The grind is too much and not being able to help it just because you're paying a certain killer, feels bad man.

    In both cases, as you said, it doesn't affect gameplay.
