NOED rework

You're hindered by 4% but gain 2% back for every dull you've cleansed? So up to 104% movement speed? I know it's a small haste but still no. If I bring a perk that punishes for not doing totems at the end of the game, there's no reason people should be rewarded for failing at cleansing all 5 totems if I have NOED.

God forbid you do something to benefit the team as a whole and not look selfishly on personal benefit.

I'll always stand by my idea of reworking NOED to replace the Exposed status effect with mori power. Keep the haste effect or maybe replace that with something different like vision on all survivors for a certain amount of time (So it would be like Rancor on everyone, minus Exposed). Would this be really evil and gross potentially? Yes but no one would be escaping "death" by your hand.

Okay yes, some people would probably just rush the exit gates and leave their downed teammate behind but people usually already do that against current NOED or they risk trying to save and all get killed anyways.

yeah i too think NOED doesnt really do its job right and that its strength should be reliant on the amount of totems left.

this argument goes both ways btw - i think its dumb that a survivor team that did 4 totems gets hit by NOED just as much as a team that did 0 totems, though i also think its dumb that NOED is just as easily removable by a team that didnt do any totems as with a team that did up to 4.

ive had some ideas regarding this issue myself, some more simple, some more on the complex side of things.

here are a few:

1) NOED gets applied to every remaining Dull Totem on the map. this one is a straight up buff to the perk, yet one that wont at all change the main counterplay to it, which is doing totems. it would also passively reward teams that cleansed dulls, as now they have to worry about less NOED totems VS teams that ignored totems all game.

2) NOED changes into a Judiths Tombstone for every killer. no more exposed, no more bonnus moving speed. however, each time the effect is applied a certain amount of NOED totems on the map (it once again activates on all remaining dulls) gets destroyed. so the amount of totems on the map when NOED activates would determine the amount of possible usage a killer can get from the perk, rewarding those who cleansed them with much less potential last second deaths. also, the removal of the exposed effect gets rid of the famous 4 man NOED slug endgames and instead forces the killer to get one (therefore guaranteed - but not really counted positively to emblems due to the missing hook) kill.

3) (and i basically just made this one up, so it isnt thought out entirely yet): NOED exposes and shortly reveals affected survivors. however, if a survivor cleanses a Dull Totem throughout the trial, they gain immunity to this effect. Should NOED activate and all 4 survivors have immunity, NOED now gives the killer a haste status effect (a bit more than the current one i'd say, sthg like 5 - 10% maybe?). this last part is very situational though, as it would require a totem left on the map for NOED to apply to, while also having every individual Survivor cleansing one of the remaining ones. this is just so the perk has a guaranteed benefit for the killer when it activates.

yes, that last one was a bit inspired by your initial idea aswell.

i generally really like the idea of letting individual survivors avoid NOEDs effects by doing bones, though i'd make it more significant for them while also telling the killer who is punishable and who isnt.

Tbh it's a bit ambiguous sentence, the first time I read your post I understood the same thing :p
