Blight's J-flick is gone.
At least that's what I'm getting from these patch notes. Also, he should be much nicer to play on console, so thanks to everyone for bringing attention to his serious issues there (particularly @Bloodshade for their really in-depth thread on the matter).

now this is the tragic bit of the patch notes :'(

We cant have good things in the fog...

Not only was it fixed, but they added something for our console friends
That's a win win

I think this is the same like they did with Oni back then.
9 -
Neat.
Nice to see they're thinking of console players. Hopefully they can find some way of making Trickster playable on controller. From what I've heard it's a real trial in patience.
I only played against a Blight that actively admitted to J flicking once and while it was impressive it made playing against him not very fun and had no real counter unless you knew they'd go for it ahead of time.

Someone please show us some clips on how blight plays on console now.
5 -
it really is

It really is. Praying for the day we get actual cross progression so I can enjoy Trickster. Hey, maybe by then he'll have something for mobility.
3 -
I don't play on console but I do play on PC with a controller so this is nice to see, maybe this paired with he POV change will get me to play him more, as it is now I did his achievements and time challenges and haven't touched him since.
3 -
now all they need to do is fix his collision
9 -
It's been a solid year since I moved to PC and still no news of Cross Progression for Xbox, I can understand why no PS because Sony is weird about it. But I refuse to believe MS said no. They aren't that type of company anymore.
Really miss my Rift 1-4 and shop cosmetics, I had a ton of them. Not to mention all those maxed out killers. Felt kind of cheated that Switch got it despite being released for significantly less time.

Like the picnic tables and snow mounds or rock piles that you just slide off of?
3 -
Best news I've seen all week. Now certain Blight mains are going to have to learn to play the killer.
29 -
Imagine dodging instead of hugging walls repeatedly. Sigh.... Must delete skill expression
2 -
oh no they fixed an exploit what an absolute tragedy.
29 -
Just slap ruin undying tinkerer and the perks will do the job anyway

like the everything you slide off
getting adept blight was one of the most painful experiences of my life and i only got it because hawkins was like "yeah nah youre not using your power this game"

Imagine a thing called autoaim existing

TRUE

Yeah, hell I'd be happy to not even have progress transferred, if I could have all of my stuff on PC I'd have no reason to go back. I'm not giving up my Dwightcrow though, so I'm stuck on PS4 for the most part. Did finally buy it on PC though, probably gonna use that one for playing new chapters.

Happy console blight noises :) i may have to revert my pfp
3 -
Huh? Switch got it? I think you mean... well, I don't know. But I've been waiting about a year for it to be released lmao
At this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if they said "yeah... actually... no... we aren't doing cross progression. Sorry!"
1 -
switch were going to get it but then uh... yeah i guess we just gotta wait a bit longer?
1 -
As a console Blight enjoyer, I can't wait to see what they did to Talbot! I really hope now we can keep up with Pc Bights.
And they got rid of J-Flicking, it's a win win!
4 -
So now Pinball Wizzard only needs to not be stopped by invisible bumpers and a remaining bit of sliding off stuff (still looking at you Ormond)!
6 -
Yeah, the counterplay of spinning out of the loop because you think he is going to flick was really counter intuitive. I played against my first one yesterday and if I didn't follow AscensionWho's Youtube videos I would have had no idea what you were supposed to do about it.
I'm really glad they fixed it and buffed console Blight. He's such a cool killer but the massive variance between the turn rate of different Blights was honestly pretty frustrating.
2 -
I can do that. gimme an hour or so...
edit - after it actually releases of course 😅
3 -
I did the adept with the Compound that reveals auras and only going for m1 hits instead of rushes. I've found playing as almost almost solely m1 killer is easiest for me for getting adepts on the newest killers from Demo to now.
1 -
As someone who prides herself on once being a good Blight... Oh shite yeah, that's by far his best build. Personally I prefer PGTW because it only takes one slot, but also... Kinda takes a little skill in maze tiles to make up for the lower regression.
3 -
yeah ManWithCane was how i played him on hawkins and surprise surprise i got my adept
oni i got as ManWithKatana too lol
2 -
For Oni I used the bloody glove addon, basically just wall hacks and m1 lol
2 -
If this console change is good ill shut up about J flicks forever and that's a promise.
6 -
Just a liiiiiiittle bit longer, you know? My boyfriend has re-bought some of the DLC he already had on Switch, but I refuse to do so lmao
Every update I hope for a note saying that cross progression from Switch has been enabled, but no dice. We ARE halfway through the 2nd quarter of the year, though, which is when they recently said that it would finally come through, but... I'm honestly not holding my breath lmaooo
1 -
ive got my fingers and several toes crossed
3 -
i dont have any add-ons hes level 40 and i didnt even have a single topknot lmao
1 -
I'm glad they increased it for console, but if they removed the j-flick I'm terrified of what kind of Blights I'm gonna face. J-flick actually made it easier to avoid a hit if you knew how to counter them, but you can't counter a Blight who relies on good hits all the time. Help!
3 -
Really nice to see buffs (or more QoL I guess?) for console.
Someone did a super in-depth thread about dead zones and acceleration and so on, hopefully the devs saw that and can implement some improvements for controllers in the future. The console player base is huge so they deserve it.
5 -
was it this one you mean:
cause mclean saw that and commented not even a month ago
9 -
I would love to do that,once i downloaded the update :)
4 -
Thinking of all the times I read "it's not an exploit :)" in post game chat after losing to people abusing it. Might actually be fun to go against PC Blight players again.
11 -
It's not gonna be fun, have you faced a good Blight who only goes for good hits and doesn't jflick? It's impossible to avoid them.
1 -
that takes both more skill than a j-flick and isn't an exploit so i have literally no complaints there
9 -
When is the patch going live?
1 -
sometime very soon since they said 11am est
2 -
Praise the devs for finally doing something right! <3
6 -
The patch is already live, it should be showing up on your platforms now.
8 -
Should already be live, but it's not for me. Wouldn't be surprised if that's just an issue with steam updating tbh, though.
Edit: nevermind, steam officially has begun updating for me not a second after I type the original message.
2 -
waiting for steam to let me update it so it may just be a problem on valve's end
