Feedback on PROPOSAL for Object of Obsession

I think the perk should only be a counter to aura detection perks and not be a scanner every 30 seconds. I think if it only countered aura perks from the killers it wouldn't possibly become a meta perk but it would remain very useful to the survivor. But instead that idea does both. Plus there is that spine chill aspect to it which i never liked. Also, the fact more than one person can use the perk and get value out of it even if they aren't the obsession event though the perk name suggests only the obsession should get an effect out of it. So i would make it so that it only reveals auras when you are revealed and it only works if you are the obsession. No timer, no seeing the killer if they don't have an aura perk. You can see them for as long as they can see you unless they are undetectable. Only my suggestion however

Yes. It's called Object of obsession for a reason. Kind of like Blood Pact deactivates if you are the obsession. In OoO if you're not the obsession you don't have that "Link" to the killer so you can't see them. It only makes sense for it to be that way. Otherwise they can just change the name to some other name that makes more sense.

Killers also have perks that become "dead" for the rest of the game in case their timer runs out or in case they are hex perks, they are broken most often than not quickly, before they can give the killer any value. So it's only fair.

Edit: Also, Laurie comes with DS which makes you the obsession either at the beginning or after you stab them. So even if you're not the obsession, you can become the obsession later in the match.

With this OoO you may as well make it a killer perk. OoO is said to be broken in SWF because apparently every mouse/keyboard imput is forwarded to all survivors. When playing SWF WITHOUT OoO, there is always some1 that is being chased or has vision on the killer, calling out where the killer is just happens by multiple person instead of 1. OoO is a very good perk when playing solo as it gives info on when you can go for an unhook or where some1 is getting chased (which is all information SWF also have WITHOUT the perk).

The only reasons what gives OoO a stronger advantage in SWF is at the start of the trial: calling out where and which killer it is, and calling out trapper for setting up traps. Swf without OoO will know where and which killer it is a few moments later (and from there they just communciate between eachother where the chase is happening or where you see the killer.)

It would be sad to nerf a perk that gives alot info when playing solo.

A good !!!NERF!!!, sorry, i ment, a good CHANGE would be to disable the perk at the start of the trial which will prevent early callouts/traps setups

It's ok, but it kinda takes away what I assume the main use for sole survivor was and that was to use OoO a little easier as the match progressed. but no one uses that anyway so whatever I suppose

This change makes alot more sense than the old OoO.

OoO and Sole Survivor do work together. Unfortunately they made a mistake when last tweaking Sole Survivor to cause it to be perma lit up when just 1 person is dead. Sole Survivor blocks the aura reading extending from the survivor's position for each dead survivor, not from the outer range which I dislike. Before they made the change, Sole Survivor used to lit up when it was working, blocking the aura reading, so that you would know it was safe to look. When both are tier and token 3m they used to lit up together indicating you can see them far away, but they can't see you at all. They do work together.

It sounds a lot better than what we have now, but it also sounds incredibly powerful revealing every aura reading perk the killer has to the survivor. Making it a better and more desirable perk might have people running it more often which won't help relieve the aggravation killers have towards the perk.

Lets address the two biggest issues players have with the perk:

1) Overpowered in SWF because 3 survivors get the benefits of the perk (information on killer location) with none of the downsides (having your aura revealed)

2) It has been abused more than almost any other perk by toxic players over the years.

I actually think the second one is the bigger deal as it's what causes much of the frustration. Certain people that run this perk are class clowns, often just manchildren screaming for attention like a child would. Sometimes as killer you can ignore these survivors, but it becomes harder to do so when they run Object as it creates a solid link between you and the troll player. It's harder to ignore them because there's a big shiny aura on your screen everytime you turn around, tbagging you from a safe distance and calling out your every move to their swf friends.

You know how much frustration killers have with toxic swf and this perk, you really need to break that link between the killer and the survivor. Trolls who are only out to antagonize other players and ruin the game for them shouldn't be enabled in doing so and given a way to force the killers attention onto them. Your game is severely lacking in people playing killer and it's going to be interesting to see if you have the courage to make changes that players want in order to keep the remaining killers.

Again this sounds better than what we have now but it also sounds like a strong perk that would be run quite often by multiple survivors in a trial. Your post doesn't make it clear but does the aura reading ONLY apply to the obsession? in which case it might not be as bad, but if other survivors get the same effect at a different distance like currently then it could still be problematic.

I think the part about revealing the killers aura everytime they see yours should go, as that would reveal any aura reading perks the killer has and that's going to be too powerful in a 4 man group.

Also the perk needs to be distance based not terror radius based because it completely ruins Freddy, imagine you're trying to mindgame a survivor around a loop just as the aura shows and they see you. It will probably happen a fair few times. Just make it outside x meters and this will fix the Freddy problem.

Overpowered perk which needed some nerfs. Deserved.

Killers location will be revealed to you every 60 seconds for 3 seconds. Increase killer aura reading abilities for yourself by 25%. For obvious reasons the perk will have to charge for 60 seconds when the game starts.

Unlike aura reading, killers location is not affected by undetectable status.

I think it should be that every time the killer hooks anybody else other than the obsession, then the killers aura with be revealed for 4/5/6 seconds with a cooldown of 50/40/30 seconds for every use. It also rewards you with 50%/100%/150% bonus bloodpoints in the boldness category. Just a dbdm gamer..

This is great. Please add in game.

Perfect change and actually new interesting mechanic introduced. Now you really can feel like being killers obsession cause you have no control over aura reading while having ability to discover what perks the killer uses. Can't be toxic, is usefull. 10/10 rework

I love this rework idea. Hope you guys go through with it.

Personally I like OoO as it is right now, a high risk, high reward type perk, but it is extremely broken against certain killers. Id rather just see Trapper have an undetectable phase when setting up, which is broken when he is seen by survivors (like ghostface but with a much quicker reveal) or enters a chase and that he reneters passively after being out of sight for awhile.

this sounds like a good idea, and it would be cool that you could see the killer as long you know how to chase and try to find the killer, but watch out. The killer could find you instantly.

Just don't do it. Keep it as it is. No need to nerf a high-risk perk.

I think it should work like this: You start the game with 1/2/3 stacks and you can press a button to consume a stack and you see the killers aura and the killer sees you for 5/8/10 seconds, you leave no scratch marks for 5/7/10 seconds, you can still see the killer even if they are undetectable, and each time a generator is completed you get another 1/2/3 stacks
