The Shape Changes in 5.3.0 PTB
![[Deleted User]](https://forums.bhvr.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
Add-Ons :
Here is another one that was not documented here:
The "Only One Obsession Per Match" requirement has been removed (okay apparently this was always the case, the description just got updated), i tested this with furtive chase and you can now change the obsession with this add-on which brings back strategies like using nemesis perk with this addon. This was never documented on the wiki but if you look in the live game right now you can see that.
Also along with all other killers, The Shape's Add-on descriptions no longer use descriptive words and instead list the exact effects.
Also this is a really good bug fix for the shape that i think many people may have missed :
Here is a clip from not otzdarva that demonstrates this issue :

This issue is now fixed :) I believe this issue has been present ever since dedicated servers were implemented so it's great to see it finally fixed.
That's all i've found so far, if i find anymore i will update this post.

Michael is one of my favorite killers to play and I'm very excited about these changes. It opens up new styles of play with him.

Definitely, i've tried vanity mirror a few times and it's amazing.

Its unfortunate that they didnt do more him

I wonder if the stalking thing really did get fixed. But isn't it because the test server is peer to peer while the actual matches are dedicated servers?

Im not sure

Excited to see more Shape ngl. I dont enjoy playing as him as I find the playstyle a bit boring, but man is a good Myers fun to go against.

Have you tried it on outdoor maps too? I wouldn't be too comfortable using it anywhere other than indoor.
Can't wait for the update on console.

It's definitely nice to see the stalking issue resolved because having the meter jump both forward and back was a pain!
But I agree it's a bummer they didn't do more to him. I don't think Myers needs a complete rework, but his power definitely needs to be adjusted. He's the only killer that can literally run out of power. If the remaining survivors in the trial have been completely stalked, then he turns into a basic m1 killer, which is unfun to say the least. I think once the survivors reach the red status, stalking speed should crawl to half instead of zero.

Great news about the stalking progress jump getting fixed. That was annoying.
I really am looking forward to trying his new add on changes, especially vanity mirror. I saw several streamers use it with dead rabbit and/or Monitor on indoor maps and it was amazing. No speed penalty, no decreased lunge, while still having wall hacks and a teeny tiny terror radius.

It'll be nice to use Judiths tombstone in normal gameplay there was literally no point in running the add on if you weren't doing evil incarnate

They just removed that part of the description since it was outdated, this add on was created back when an obsession wasn't guaranteed and it was impossible to change obsessions. You were always able to switch obsessions with this add on with Furtive Chase, Nemesis, etc.
1 -
Oh really? Because i remember seeing videos using this add on and it didnt have that part in the description when they showed it. So i've always thought it was useless because of that.

Everything runs on servers.

Before this patch, I was 🤏🏻 close to trying Shape for the first time. Played lots of ghostface, Myers can't be much worse than him 😅

The "Only One Obsession Per Match" is on every perk/addon that uses an obsession. Its just there to state only one survivor can be the obsession at a time. Not that it can't be move between survivors.

Before this that add on was the only place i saw that phrase, every where else had "You can only be obsessed with 1 survivor at a time"

Oh really? I thought it was P2P since someone mentioned on Otzdarva's stream that the reason Ghost face's leaning was so smooth and you don't get stuck was because it wasn't on dedicated servers.

Judith's Journal hasnt changed, it just words how much it increases stalking speed, you could always change Obssession with stuff like Decisive Strike, Nemesis etc and it would give you increased stalking speed.

You have a ping to the server as killer.
There's still plenty of server lag on the killer side.
Plenty of "dedicated" bugs pop up on the PTB.

Yeah I believe they have just put an exact number on how much faster the stalk rate is from the obsession. 40% is very nice.

This is what i was talking about at the bottom

Baby steps he could get more let's just be glad they gave him this these are pretty good I might start using vanity mirror now

I'm asking them in their next Q&A stream if they can do more with Mikey. Shoot it an upvote if you haven't already and hopefully it will be one of the questions that gets answered;

I'm just glad they didn't nerf tombstone honestly.
2 -
Isnt the rabbit addon a nerf though? Pretty sure it was more than 25% before.
0 -
Nope it's the same
0 -
I'm sad they didn't change the jewellery add ons those are terrible and not worth using
0 -
Jewellery case and jewellery makes stalking feel very smooth but there are better add-ons for sure.
0 -
So "Only one obsession per match" was removed. Nice.
But why Judith's Journal still has "You become obsessed with one survivor"? Now there is one obsession every match anyway, even if no one equips an obsession perk/add-on.
0 -
Yeah idk.
Sounds cool i guess??

I was surprised when I saw they didn't nerf I'm happy about that there really is hope for myers
