When is the DS nerf happening?
I just had two kind of crappy matches in a row with the same guy. Guy had DS because of course, and he had a flashlight too. He was being particularly annoying and had gotten one of the most garbage maps in the game when it comes to number of pallets. I finally get him but for whatever reason the remaining Survivors just Kamikazed the hook to save him even though I downed them both.
Get the same guy again in a different map, this time I use an Ebony Mori, I luck out and find him very early and he DC's.
I'm under the impression that the long-awaited DS nerf will not happen in the PTB and may not happen in the mid-chapter balance patch, is that right?

Nope this upcoming patch will not include the DS nerf unfortunately. If i remember correctly they said the reason why is they have not yet gotten around to actually implementing it on a mechanical level so it was just the idea that was presented on the QA. Honestly the nerf cannot happen soon enough. Getting real tired of DS and i want to see it rightfully gutted.

i could be wrong, but didn't they say they hadn't even started working on the new animation yet? if that is correct then mid chapter patch might be pushing it, even when they are comfortable with the mechanics. that said outside of getting adept with David i never ran it as it was a hard skill check that i just didn't want to deal with0

One nerf I would like to see is when I’m playing killer I should only have to worry about ONE DS not FOUR meaning if the others aren’t the obsession they can’t use it at all!1

I hope it's that but I honestly think they're bracing for the REE'ing from Survivors once it's finally nerfed. Because it seems like they're drawing it out as long as humanly possible even though the perk completely shits on the balance and should take a priority.It's pretty astounding the perk will likely have been in the game, in its current state more or less, for two years. If this were a killer perk it would have been nuked within a month. I think BBQ and Chili is the only super powerful killer perk that survivors complain about which hasn't been nerfed, and that's only because, while it is extremely powerful, it's also designed to promote anti-tunneling and anti-camping playstyles. That's why they tied the BP gain to it.

Is it just a wasted slot? The change they're planning makes it only slightly better than nothing, and you'd still need a teammate waiting nearby with a flashlight. That or be far enough from a hook to struggle free with the extra two seconds they give you.

I’m just saying they could make it a risk reward perk plus if they want to “change” the “meta” then people may end up choosing a different perk case in point BT I see that used way less after they changed it.Coriander said:@Mr_Jay_Stark said:

Just look at the hatch closing mechanic. It made it already to the PTB but survivors sucessfully denied it already.
DS hasnt even made it to the PTB, so dont hold your breath.....1 -
BT is so risky now, but they only added it to counter camping. Doing gens was the counter to camping, but with the new badge system you have to do everything you can just to gain rank, so you need to go for unhooks. I wish they'd change it back, I still use it because I love saving people.
