Are you referring to the prestige level changes? Because those are to prevent things like lobby dodging that not only mess with queue times, but can also really screw up matchmaking.

Prestige isn't a measure of skill, just how much someone likes a certain character. You could play almost exclusively killer, and still have a P100 Nancy to show off a legacy character on the rare occasion you play survivor.

If anything, the player's devotion level would be an indication of hours played (still not necessarily skill), and that is never shown to anyone else. Prestige is just a cosmetic, but there are many people who either leave lobbies or have weird up front expectations because of it.

Rather specific one, but if I have Kindred and the person on the hook also has it, please show me two Kindred icons or something. It's very useful info to know that not only you can see the other survivors + the killer if they're close, but knowing the other survivors can as well. Not purely QOL and really specific I know, but please 😄

Think something basic like player stats and performance related rewards need adding for a sense of accomplishment and prestige. Both killer/survivor should have achievements which reward players upon completion.

For example;

Killer A

* 50 sacrifices = Weapon cosmetic

* 250 sacrifices = Outfit/skin

* 500 and so on, up to 1000 for a master cosmetic or something.

Survivors get them for;

Escapes / Unhooks / Blinds / Heals / Hatch escapes

1. No. As much as it sucks to be left to bleed out, I hate as a survivor player when someone just gives up. DC, Unalive yourself on the hook, hold a button to give up. No, if you aren't willing to play the game when the killer is doing a strategy you don't like, then IMO don't queue up and ruin my games. Because when you DC or unalive yourself on first hook or whatever, the killer is not ruining my experience, you are. Yea, I know your experience is all that matters is the idea so many players have, but to me that's the problem with this game, and it's also why you will never find me DCing or unaliving myself (though that at least is better than the DCers.) Then, not to mention the strategy of "DC so friend can get hatch" is annoying and unfair to killers. The press button to give up would be the same effect. Does it suck when the killer slugs for a 4K? Yea, sure it does when I play as survivor. But it's allowed, and it should be. I shrug it off and go on to the next match.
2. While that might be nice for Scourge Hooks, I think the reason it happens is legit. Being able to just slug everyone around one hook and camp them? You know darn well if they made all hooks unbreakable like basement hooks, that's what killers would do.
3. Well, they did already in that a match has a maximum time of one hour. While it could be shorter, too short and you risk even legit games being ended because the killer was too efficient in gen slowdown or such. What should the minimum time for a match be? 30min? 20min? 10min? How about 5min? They chose an hour.
4. While that might be nice, it would I think be too often and nobody would ever have to buy any DLC again if all they care about is the perks as a daily update would guarantee pretty much every perk would show up in the shrine in a single month. It's for when you just want one or two perks, not for when you want them all.
5. Every map could use a balance update, and they are working on that, but at the same time, what do YOU consider balanced? It's probably much different than what I would consider balanced and what BHVR would consider balanced.

^ This is SO annoying. How was this not thought about in its original design?

This might be a little conspiratorial, but I'm pretty sure that was thought about. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the point. They wanted to cut down on post game chat toxicity, and one of the ways they did it was to have the the challenges block the chat window. I'm guessing the idea was that after a bad game they figured someone would rather just skip through the end game screen, and if they're doing that, it's better if they don't see chat so they can avoid potentially seeing something upsetting.

Forgive a peasant consoler for asking, but what language is all of this? Would it effect my Xbox?

A QoL change I’ve wanted for awhile is to see if you’re in-game friends are in a SWF lobby and how many people they’re playing with. I commonly get friends who think I’m ignoring them or don’t want to play with them when they send me game invites but in reality I’m just playing with all full squad. Lol

This game uses a different definition of 'quality of life' than every other game I've ever seen.

Colour blind mode, and visual terror radius are Accessibility changes, and not Quality of life changes. Accessibility changes are allowed to change gameplay (gameplay = a player's chances of winning games), and they do so to help equalize the player experience for people that might have impairments or disabilities.

And the survivor HUD isn't Quality of life either, because it can change gameplay for solo q survivors, and it's designed to help equalize the player experience between solo q and SWF..... which has absolutely nothing to do with Quality of life either.

Quality of life is supposed to be things that help player experience, that have a 0% chance of ever affecting a player's chances of winning games. These would be things like bloodweb improvements, or other things that don't actually affect gameplay at all.

A 4 minute slug timer does affect gameplay, so it's not a Quality of life issue. You should be saying Player Experience, or Player Satisfaction, because what you really want are changes that make your game experiences less frustrating.

From what I have seen of their changes over the past year and a half or so, their plan seems to be to get solos as close to SWF gameplay as possible, and presumably rebalance most of the killers around that when satisfied. So basically each trial becomes SWF-ish.

Like everyone else, it often feels like these steps take forever, and patience runs low. We'll have to wait and see if it is all worth it.

1. Same Killer Prevention...(excluding NEW releases)
2. A FOV slider... Should've been in the game already..

I’m still waiting for a timeline to this. When does it get to be the killer side’s turn for improvements?

BHVR was planning on giving killers a chase oriented meta, then backpedaled before the end of the PTB with survivor un-nerfs. At what point do killers get actual changes that improve their player experiences? At what point will any possible improvements even be announced?

Mori Shop

tired of working to watch the same kill animation. It's kinda pathetic and Mobile has already given killers different mori's

I can't see them giving people an option to bleed out faster. Those who slug for the 4k would be in an uproar over that.
