Merciless Storm needs to be kill switched again.

I don't understand why this perk is live currently. For those who do not know, Merciless Storm now resets a generator back to zero if you miss the skill check. I've been running into a lot of Doctor players currently using this combo to make sure gens take twice as long as before. Please killswitch it asap.

    When did this start happening? I was using it earlier and when the entity blockers dropped it looked like the gen still had a bunch of progress. Maybe it only happens some of the time?

    It's pretty ridiculous that they haven't kill switched this perk. It's not like they don't know about it, they have acknowledged it in the bug report section. The earliest fix would be the mid chapter patch but the bug is currently in the PTB so there's a chance it will be around after that patch - that's a long time to leave in a game breaking bug that causes a gen to instantly regress from 90% to 0.

    Even on PTB I saw one doc abusing this bug. I belive whenever you hit the skillcheck the Gen would regress by like 20% or something lol. Then the team started to DC one by one of course after they realised it.

    Don't be so quick to assume that the only reason someone would use this combo is to abuse a bug. Merciless Storm is a very common pick on Doctor because it synergizes with his kit. Entirely possible they're using it without realizing what's happening.

    Also I think this bug is inconsistent. I played against an Artist today who had it. A player I was working on gens with failed their skill check against Merciless Storm, so we ran over to another gen which was almost done and the Artist had just chased the survivor off of it, and she failed the skill check again. So we ran back over and finished the first gen, then ran back and finished the other, everything looked fine.

    Theeen later in the match, someone missed a Merciless Storm check on a gen that was at 99% and it got reset back down to like 15%. I didn't even understand what had happened until I saw this thread.

    Had this happen in every match merciless storm was used since they kill switched it the first time due to bug of missing skill check and all survivors floating in the air for no reason. This was maybe two three weeks ago I think. Once it went active this started happening. Every gen went from 90-95% to zero. I have plenty of videos, but honestly I am about tired of wasting my time. I reported saboteur not working right ever since the Knight's release and it still is not working right. Got the same comment "acknowledge issue no time frame on this being corrected." I think all these issues should be fixed before they decide to make all these changes currently in the works to existing perks.

    Guys, there is a video how to counter Merciless bug after which your gen will regress a lot:

    We need to share these methods since devs do nothing and some killers abuse the bug.
