pls buff surveillance

it is truly the worst killer perk in the game right now. It is like the killer version of the old Deja Vu. Maybe make the regressing aura permanent until someone touches it again?

    agreed make it like a nerfed version of the wraiths addon that allows him to see generators like maybe instead of 4 surveilance can only see 3

    I don't get how it even made it into the live game in it's current state.

    Yeah, it could be reworked, for example revealing if someone repairs a gen before 30/45/60 seconds have elapsed from its damaging.

    For real this should just pop a notification for the last : 1/2/3 gens kicked.
    See regressing auras is idiot because you will forget what you kicked, cause its 3 gens to take care and your regular view

    The devs always make questionable decisions with perks, but this one perk sure is...a choice.

    or:

    Surveillance
    You are given otherworldy sense as to your prey's skill.
    Get a notification of when a survivor performs a good skill check on any interaction when within a 15/20/45 meter radius.

    Oh i know a tweak survivors would totally love:

    "Kicking a generator will mark it's aura white. It will reveal the Auras of Survivors in an X/X/X/m radius around the generator.
    Lasts X/X/X seconds.
    Attempting to repair a marked generator will instantly create a loud noise warning but will remove the mark after X/X/X seconds."

    The Idea is that the Killer installs a surveillance camera with motion sensor at a kicked generator, which will send a warning to the killer. I didn't post any numbers because people would scream OP at my idea lol

    Surviellance is the worst killer perk but it opened the door for changes to older perks ---> tinkerer and bittermurmur for instance, both these perks can be argued to be different versions of surveillance.... the worse thing is the devs seem to not mention surveillance at all... we know surviellance is supposed to be that perk that's especially good on Pig but its.... just.... not good at all... I'd like an increase in the timer on the perk... it doesnt need a rework it just needs a increase in time to use 16 seconds.... you cant kick 3 gens 16 seconds 🙄

    Surviellance Challange:
    Kick 3 gens in 16 seconds.

    Can i pls kill the perk designer?
    Why would you create this perk?

    Multiple perks deserve the buff for both sides

    The change to make this balanced is pretty simple;

    Regressing Generators' Aura are indicated in white. If repairs resume on a Regressing Generator a noise notification will occur at its location.

    The problem is that NO ONE will ever even use a "Find the survivor" perk so conditionally as Surveillance in it's base state or in the suggested changes.

    Survivors are NOT hard to find! That is why ALL META PERKS are perks revolving around:
    1. Anti-Looping
    2. Insta Downing
    3. Regressing Generators.

    So in order to make Surveillance a perk that you would ACTUALLY consider picking, try this:

    Surveillance
    When a survivor starts working on a Regressing Generator, they will suffer the Exposed status effect for 20/30/40 seconds.

    "Are you gonna behave?" — Amanda Young

    NOW you have a perk.

    It'll be harder for survivors to troll killers by directly touching their Gen after it has been kicked and it fits perfectly with the Surveillance theme, but this time you have to consider, as a survivor, whether the killer is looking over this Gen, because if they are, you might hear Amanda's ambush sound shortly after you touch it.

    Has great synergy with Pop Goes The Weasel and can actually compete with current perks and has counter play.

    Being too strong is good this is an assymetrical game buddy the killer should be very strong but they aren't expect for 1

    It wouldn't bee too strong at all.
    First of all does it require of the killer to regress the generator.
    Secondly must the killer be around to hit the survivor, which can loop the killer for most of the game.
    The survivor can choose not to touch the generator when knowing the killer is near and waste time while others finish other generators at the minuscule cost that this one keeps regressing.

    Survivors who are in the Injured State can touch the Gen, basically undoing the effectiveness of the perk.

    It's a perk that has counter play and a perk that has some actual use in todays meta.

    It fits Amanda perfectly as she can hide her Terror Radius and sneak up on people. She would regress a Gen and pretend to leave it, then when a survivor touches it she Ambushes.

    It literally fits Her of all killers the best.
