Please allow us to select Nurse

Nurse is disabled due to some bugs. I get this, and it's even appreciated.

However, there's absolutely no justification for not allowing us to even select Nurse. Killer can't switch character after searching for a lobby anyway - the ready button could be disabled instead.

Currently my account is sitting at bloodpoint cap and the only character I have ready to spend blood points on was nurse - anyone else would be a waste of millions of BP from inefficient prestiging. Not even allowing us to spend BP on nurse has effectively locked my account.

    Same here. First time in my 4 years playing, I'm finally to the point of grinding add-ons and there they go disabling her. All my killers are already P3-50 all perks. Have all survivors at P3 and one at all perks (all you really need). Don't really feel like pouring bp into survivor skins and we have this damn bp cap.

    However, there's absolutely no justification for not allowing us to even select Nurse.

    Unless you're some kind of developer who understands the mechanics of building complex systems, I'd say you've got literally no basis or credibility for making such a declaration.

    The justification is the implementation of an all-encompassing kill-switch that disables a feature for any reason. In this case the Nurse has a game-breaking bug whilst in-game... but in future there may be another bug that occurs on selection, or the loading screen, or whatever.

    When building a "kill-switch" feature, you look for the earliest opportunity to implement it that'll catch all scenarios... in this case you prevent the killer from being selected. That'll avoid any problems with that killer, whether it's idle animation, waiting in the lobby, something in game, something to do with the blood-web (each killer's web is unique 'cos of their own add-ons, etc).

    So please... instead of crying about the minor inconvenience that certainly has not "effectively locked [your] account", just take a chill pill. Please.

    Leave her disabled for as long as possible. Throw in The Doctor and Bubba while you're at it. As the Nurse, Bubba, and the Doctor are horrible experiences to go against.


    I hate the Nurse's design, as she breaks one of the core aspects of the game - the chase.

    I hate the Doctor's design, as he breaks TWO of the core aspects of the game - the hiding, AND the chase.

    That's like demanding to ride a Rollercoaster(The Nurse) even though it's broken and needs maintenance.

    No, its asking to be able to invest in a rollercoaster even though it needs maintenance.
