Questions about locker buff..

in General Discussions
  • Will you be able to use Object of Obsession while in a locker? I didn't test this out in the PTB so I don't know if you can do this. I really hope it isn't because that means survivors can see the killer but the killer can't see them. Making it so survivors have unlimited UAV online. SWFs can tell each other where the killer is going and what he's doing. I just hope it isn't a thing.
  • If your in a locker and have Distortion, can you lose tokens? I already feel like the answer is no but my friends think otherwise.
  • If the killer see's your aura while your going into a locker, does it show survivors going into the locker and then you can't see their aura or their aura disappears once they push the "Hide" button?
  • Can other survivors see your aura while your in a locker?
  • This one sort of goes back to the first one. Can survivors see any other auras while in a locker? Killer and/or Survivor?

Any answers to these would be appreciated.

    Oh God....  SWF with OoO in lockers is gonna be absolutely horrible...

    Yeah that's why I wanted to ask before tomorrow. If Object does work in lockers, I might not play until they fix that.

    Honestly that don't change much, normally in SWF one guy loops you to the death while the others gen rush, that's also show how much SWF can ######### this game mechanics

    But picture this scenario, 4 man SWF who want to "booli the baby killerino duuud", holding the match hostage. Only coming out of the lockers when they see the killer is on the other side of the map.

    Another problem is that survivors don't need to loop any more, they can just hide in a locker and tell their team, "Guys he's coming towards you. It's Wraith." Then his team just hides until he leaves. Rinse and repeat.

    @Nickenzie said:

    Lockers should make it where the killer can't read your aura but you also can't read the killer's aura to compensate.

    I'm probably gonna gets survivor mains saying, "Killers always asking for compensations" But it's only fair. Imagine the killer getting free aura reading on the survivor while in the basement but the survivors can't read his aura. This is where I'm coming from because it just wouldn't be fair.

    I very much agree. Making it so you can't see the killer's aura in lockers makes sense if you can't see a survivor's aura in a locker.

    @Doc_W__HOLLIDAY said:

    Anyway back to topic, I definitely agree. Why should a survivor get to see killers but killers can't see them? The point of OoO is to give you information, at the cost of also giving the killer information. If one side can't get the information, neither should the other. It completely defeats the purpose of the perk.

    Hopefully, survivors can't see auras while in lockers. We'll find out tomorrow. If survivors can see auras in lockers/use Object of Obsession without been seen back, then there should DEFINITELY be a patch to fix that.

    The whole locker buff is garbage from the get go.

    I tested it in the PTB, it does work. But honestly it's more effective hiding behind a gen (which was already possible before), at least you can do something instead of wasting everyone's time

    And the devs couldn't give a flying #########.

    That's why let allow SWF to run riot with OoO, despite the fact that at that point their team is basically playing with wallhacks.

    Because why have balance right?

    For the 3rd point, i bet it disappears once they press the button. I believe you're in the "Hide in the locker" state immediately, but the animation just has to play.

    Don’t buy into this I’ve seen @Doc_W__HOLLIDAY play as a survivor in one of my matches and he does everything he claims is toxic on here, I made sure to camp to let him know it wasn’t ok but got some hate mail from who I presumed was a buddy of his calling me a trash ass camper and telling me to get good.

    If Object of obsession works in a locker this would be so #########. And the locker buff is already ######### without that. Seriously they should just remove it.

    What about a survivor in dream world hiding in a locker? I hope it still works.

    Also myers t1 and t2 wallhack addons. Also makes it more easy to hold the game hostage as it counters
    bbq, bitter murmur to an extend.

    It currently does and it always needs a lot of community outrage for BHVR to even consider that their changes were bad look back at the pallets can stun nurse while telport change without the community outrage they would have keeped that.

    Also survivors didnt need the locker buff and if they really want it they should have at least tied it to a perk. Just use perk to counter it? Thats quite the double standard.

    Also it not only nerfs bbq (which wasnt really needed anyway and promotes campaing even more now so good job) it also nerfs t1, t2 aura readin myers perks, freddys power and some more stuff like bitter murmur.

    Worst of all it makes holding the game hostage even easier which is super dumb.

    Was this supposed to block the main idea of Freddy's aura reading or is this a bug that got through?

    It simply just blocks ALL aura reading no matter the source. Its working as intended it is just a bad idea and therefore a bad change they should just revert it completly.

    Object of Obsession shouldn't work from lockers. You won't get any argument out of me otherwise, BUT I really don't think this will be the next l33t strat that some of you are worried about. Lockers have a small field of view making it not particularly easy to find a locker facing the direction that the killer is facing. Plus it is incredibly unproductive having one survivor sitting in lockers most of a game just to feed intel.

    As a killer, if I was given a choice at the start of the game where one survivor wouldn't work on gens, but constantly feed knowledge of my whereabouts, I would think that's a deal worth taking. Should it get fixed? Yes. Am I going to lose sleep about it? No.

    I just tried it out. What the f. It actually works....why...

    You can use Object in lockers and the killer can't see you.

    Welp, time to play Civ until that's fixed.

    Well that's ridiculous, even for BHVR.
    This needs to be brought to the devs' attention real fast.

    Agreed. Make it so survivors can't see other auras while in lockers.
