Thoughts on Shadowborn?
Title
Comments
-
It should not be a perk. Idc if higher fov technically gives an advantage. That is an accessibility setting locked behind a perk.

A comfy perk to run but it’s kind of a waste of a perk slot but I still use it regardless.
Should just be an FOV slider with the max FOV capping at Shadowborn’s current FOV and rework Shadowborn into another use.

its the best filler perk. Should be a feature in the menu.

although, flashlights are mechanically broken, so extra fov is kind of a nighmare.

Should be a feature in the menus, along with brightness settings. Makes no sense that PC players are able to gain such significant advantages over Console. PC can use filters to make the game brighter and can use stretched res to essentially get the effect of Shadowborne without needing a perk, albeit at the cost of visual quality. Basic things like brightness settings and FOV changing should be available to everyone. Although, I have little hope on this matter. It took them over 4 years to add something as fundamental as colour blind options. It would be naïve at this point to ever assume that the Devs would add an FOV slider to the settings.

It should be base-kit.

It greatly limits survivors ability to hide from you, or try and juke you mid chase. Often when survivors try to crouch in a corner and double back, Shadowborn has made the survivor plain as day to see without me even trying. I just turn the corner, and there they are in the corner of my FoV.
This is why I firmly stand by Shadowborn remaining a perk, rather than an option in settings. DBD isn’t like other games. Shadowborn’s much larger FoV most definitely gives a distinct advantage during the trial. Survivor jukes are ridiculously easy to see with this perk equipped.

That is true but competent killers don’t get juked easily if ever.
Shadowborn is barely worth a perk slot unless you just like the high FOV. It gives you very little advantage if you as a killer are not easily juked or the survivors aren’t cheeky. First time I heard that Shadowborn gives you a “distinct advantage”.
Plus the base FOV is pitful.

Should just be an FOV slider. It's 2021.

I LOVE Shadowborn. It feels so nice to use.

I use it because base fov is trash.

that moment when dbd I'm pretty sure is the only game where fov is a perk

Should be base and given a different effect.
Monitor would go from the current default FoV to new normal (+15%) FoV.

That’s the point of base POV. It’s so Survivor can have a chance to try and get out of sight. Shadowborn dramatically reduces survivors chances to do this.

Should be basekit
Literally all I want is to be able to see stuff properly.

This. No idea why people cant understand that killer ######### FoV is supposed to be ######### for survivor advantage.

I agree with the devs that a higher FOV is a gameplay advantage and shouldnt be a base setting in the game. Its a cool idea of a perk but it should get a slight buff to make it really worth a perk slot.
My idea would be one of them.
Your brightness is increased moderatly. On some darker maps this could be a decent perk.
Or
You see the survivors like Freddy does on survivors that are in the Dreamworld with a slight white aura around them that are further then 64 Meters. Its a decent perk for Killers with high mobility or range like Huntress, Blight, Billy, Oni etc..

No , not basekit a slider, shadowborn makes me nauseous
0 -
That's pretty much what I meant.
Probably coulda worded it better.

To me it's indispensable. It feels like a wasted perk slot when I'm using because you don't notice how much worse your standard FOV compared to Shadowborn unless you can do a side by side comparison. I do notice how bad I am at not losing survivors during chases w/o it though.

Would love to see it reworked and just added as a setting with a slider like pretty much every game does.

FoV should not be locked behind a perk, it’s 2021 lads... No it’s not op and it doesn’t make jukes harder as good killers don’t get juked anyways. In fact, having a higher FoV makes killers like huntress slinger or trickster harder to be good with

Underrated perk
Should not be basekit
0 -
Underrated... I don't think so since (only exception would be on nurse) it does almost nothing and it only feels better and nice to play with.

Why on Earth do I need a perk slot to change my field of view
I'm a quake pro gamer, not a... I don't know.

Okay maybe on Blight it would help too a bit... But for most killers it is just QoL improvement.

Huntress, blight, spirit

Should definitely be reworked and fov should just be adjustable in settings.
