Challenge for players who own "Hour of the Witch"
So boons have been a hot topic as of late and a common fix people suggest is that they are a one and done deal.
Luckilly that's something that's easy to replicate. So here's a challenge.
Go into you next couple of matches with boon perks but stop using them once the killer snuffs them once.
You can bless another totem to relocate the boon if it hasen't been snuffed but once it has play as if they were disabled.
Then return here and mention how many matches you played, if it was solo or in swf, what your experience was and if you would still use boons if this change was final.
For the extra dedicated you can also do a couple of matches where you can bless other totems once snuffed. As if it would be if the killer would break the totem after snuffing it.
Then same deal. Number of matches, solo or swf, experience and if you would still use boons.
Good luck.

For killers with abilities capable of downing a survivor. Run Devour Hope but don't M1 survivors at 3 tokens and don't mori survivors at 5 tokens.

That's completely ignoring what he's getting at my dude. He's saying that once your boon is cleansed, act as though it works like a hex and it's gone for the rest of the game. What you said doesn't make sense in comparison

If people aren't using the new perks as intended it would just throw off the data the devs use as they review them over the next month or two for a balance pass. Just use the perks normally, and in a couple months if either Boon needs to be adjusted the devs can simply tweak their effects or radius. (There's not even a need to change how Boons are placed or reset, all they have to do is tune the healing speed of Circle of Healing if necessary and adjust the radius of Shadow Step, again if necessary.)

I will participate in this if and only if the killer waits until all 4 survivors have blessed a totem before beginning the match. This will allow a "map wide" effect similar to a hex and it to be effect right at the start, similar to a hex. also we get to declare one of those boons to be undying and can bless the 5th totem when that one gets snuffed, during which the killer and all survivors have to stop all other actions to mimic the "instant" transfer effect of undying

Holy crap, I actually got a code - and even better yet, it was one I'd really wanted! Thank you so much! I can stop hunting codes now and give others a shot, but ee, this made my day.
On topic, I'm still saving up shards for Mikaela, but this sounds like a really neat experiment. I'm one of the people rooting for totems to be destroyed on snuff (for the tradeoff that snuffing takes longer to do), so version two of your challenge, simulating what would happen if that was the case, is something I should try out once I've got the perks. (I'm less interested in version one because boons never struck me as 1-to-1 hex equivalents and total perk deactivation on snuff would be far too weak for what boons give and the benefits the killer has to finding them versus the survivor equivalent.)

Interesting I will do this and get back to you

Eey sweet, congrats with the code.
This post already is a huge succes

Ehm, i think you are vastly overestimating how many people are on these forums.
I don't think the 10 or so people who try this for a night are going to have a big impact on the date of hunderds of thousands of players over a couple of months.
This is mostly for entertainment

I see what you're trying to test, but there's an intrinsic flaw in the methodology. Killers might have different incentives in snuffing out in a relightable Vs non-relightable boon scenario. That will skew the data.
