Object of obsession

Object of Obsession basically makes you bait for your team. Killer knows where you are, so they'll be tempted to chase you instead of anyone else if you are their only visible target. You'll be buying time for the rest of your team but you'll have to be good at chases/stealth to avoid being found. It also scales according to the killer's terror radius so your aura will remain visible for considerably closer range to killers with smaller/no terror radius.

You can avoid being detected by looking away from the killer's direction when you see them turning to face your direction. It's a steep learning curve to figure out how to manipulate when the killer can see you.

It's kind of pointless for single player but SWF groups can make a good advantage from it.

I'm not surprised killers tunnel them. They're relaying the killers position to the entire team at all times. They have to go.

I am a solo survivor so I didn't think about that but it makes sense.

Yeah either the killer assumes you're swf and he tunnels you, or maybe he goes for you because he can see where you are and is too lazy to look for others.

I'd stop taking OoO to be honest. Its really not a great perk.

Honestly if the killer is chasing me all of my game that sounds fun to me. I'm not big on saves and gens. Ill do it for my team and i will be the gen jockey if i have to. But I find the chase to be most enjoyable aspect of the game.

And here we have the core problem of the game.
Survivor find it "enjoyable" to get chased.
They do not "fear" the killer at all.
The killer is no real threat to them, but just a toy to play with, because it is "fun".

I mean stealth is kinda boring on both sides. As killer and survivour stealth is kinda dull. Some survivours love it but i can tell you as killer i hate it when i go against a stealth team. Do you enjoy hunting camoflaged urban evasion claudettes. Because i don't. Dont get me wrong I still get frightened espicially around a good killer. Its jist gameplay wise this game is built for the chase why else is bbq, whispers and doc a thing.

The way you want killers to be feared promotes a dull boring game that a large portion of the community is not interested in. Dbd started out intended as a stealth focus game but the minute players started playing they found something more exciting. A game of wits and map knowledge which both sides can now largely both game.

That is YOUR PoV. I hate playing ring around the rosie or pig in the middle.
I want the survivor to be afraid of getting chased.
Instead they are following me.

Perks like BBQ, Whispers, etc. exist, because the killer is on a tight time schedule and can't afford wasting his time searching empty areas. Getting an idea on where to even search is needed, because the game goes to fast (gen rush).
Make the game slower and we could get rid of those things.

Ok im interested in seeing the majority prefered playstyle for dbd. Is my pov the minority or majority.

I understand your perspective of wanting that kinda power trip of being a force others hide from but even in the game of ring around a rosie you can dominate and scare survivours. Enduring and spirit fury for instance creates a massive oh crap moment that allows you to put fear into the hearts of your enemies nurse and spirit is your answer if you want to force stealth. The thing about the horror genre is not every survivour is a screaming coward.

A lot of them are badass survivours who take the fight to the killer. Ash from evil dead, laurie from halloween, quentin from nightmare on elm street etc.

i wish this perk was changed it is so easily abused by sfw sqauds

100% agree simple fix for this perk. Make it locked when playing swf. This perk should  be only available to solo survivours.Wolf74 said:

Actually I have some fun atm with my Wraith build BS/End/SF/Bamboozle.
Survivor seem to hate it.
Although it is a petty shallow/one dimensional build.

Glad to hear it. Aint nothing wrong with optomising your build for maximum scare your entitled to your fun. Not like its lacking in counters unlike some other perks. Sounds lkke those build would be devastating on a leatherface. No pallets, blocked window so no escape from his saw. XD

add windstorm and the wild dance you will vault faster then a gold medal Olympian

Yea, but that requires your to constantly cloak and decloak, which in return slows you down.

i guess maybe trade out wild dance for the one that uncloaks faster but then pallets are harder to break

Look at it this way. As a Survivor, you know that behind that killer is just another person playing a game. Not exactly frightening, is it?
