Please fix Whispers perk
Right now Whispers perk makes it so that you detect survivors in an are INCLUDING hooked ones. Can you please make it not include hooked survivors. My reason is that first off when a survivor is hooked you already know where they are because you can see the hook light up, but more importantly it takes away from the perks largest use which is to find survivors that are in the area.

It’s supposed to do that. A hooked survivor is still a survivor and it being able to disregard hooked survivors could encourage camping since, if a survivor is near the hook and the killer doesn’t know they’ll leave, with the changed whispers they’ll just hang around the hook until the rescuing survivor reveals themselves or the killer finds them. Not fair for the person the hook of the one that is stealthing to save after the killer leaves.

The thing with that is, first off if the killer is camping they're gonna camp regardless. On the flipside however if the survivors are gonna swarm the hook the killer should have a heads up.

It's working as intended - nothing to be fixed.

That's so counterintuitive. I understand it that's the way whisperers is supposed to work but if a killer knew that the hook was being swarmed by survivors by the time the killer already hooked then what's the point of leaving the hooked survivor?
The killer will stay and look for the survivor if they saw scratchmarks nearby and it's not camping, it's focusing on the objective as hand which is to hunt down survivors.
Having whisperers not include hooked survivors would be a nice qol buff for anti hook swarm... and for one im for it

Whispers has no counter for survivors so I would assume including all survivors including hooked and dying survivors is a skill gate to require the killer to be good enough to tell when they are 32 meters away from the hooked survivor or if they are basing it off a survivor near the hook. Doesn't need a change.

That’s the point, in this case, the killer hooks a survivor and doesn’t know that another survivor is nearby. As in no scratch marks, didn’t see them when downing and hooking the survivor, nor seeing them after hooking the survivor. The only tell is whispers which for this example disregards the hooked survivor. The killer has no indication that a survivor is around and should leave to find another one, but because of whispers can camp the hooked survivor knowing that there’s a survivor waiting for them to leave to unhook. That is why it shouldn’t be like that. Even if the survivor wasn’t around and the killer was leaving, whispers would feel them if a survivor is around trying to get by to get the save. Almost guaranteeing a 1 for 1 or even two hooks if the killer wanted to. It would literally be on the level as insidious, even worse because when used with it, camping will be an absolute breeze.

Whispers is working the way it should work. You are asking for a change.
One thing though, the perk got a lot louder after the 1.5.2 update. If they could lower the Entity from a conversation tone to, you know, a whisper. That would be great.

Yes please Nerf the one and only counter to whispers.

Currently, killer doesnt know if there is anyone around hook (unless he sees 3 survivors with bbq) so staying around the hook is high risk for him (of getting gen rushed). And with your idea, if the whispers were on after hooking survivor, why would killer ever leave? For what? To go in random place IN HOPE to find survivor while he knows there is one around?

Also lets be honest in here. Let's say your change hits life servers, you hook a survivor and perk is still on. What do you plan to do with that information other than camp? How is it useful for other purposed than camping/patroling the hook?

Fix? How does one fix a perk that is not broken?
you want to buff whispers, not fix it.

Thing about it, How strongly a killer would camp if they hooked one and the Whispers was still online.
They would not leave.

There's a dbd-like game called Identity V that has their equivalent of Whispers that doesn't work on "hooked" survivors.
If it doesn't proc then I leave to check on gens, but if it is I proxy camp to look for them & camping is already a huge problem on both games I would hate if it gets brought to DBD.

I really don't think Whispers needs this change in the slightest, it's already a very good perk. Making it not work on hooked survivors would encourage even more camping and that's definitely not the intention of the perk.
