Windows of Opportunity was shadow nerfed, no mention in current patch notes.

It’s not an old wording of the perk. The old version of the perk only worked up to 20 meters.

It's the same exact wording outside of the aura distance being 20 meters. Which could easily be due to the perk grabbing the value in the code so if they did update the aura distance value, they wouldn't also need to update the perk description.

It's very likely just the old perk description being merged into the main branch from someone's work machine who didn't properly merge with the master.

That's overacting.

The want to shift meta from time to time. How would you guys nerf it so it's not going to be as popular?

window of opportunity used to have a cooldown of 20 seconds. it got removed long time ago. i think they're just previewing a change to get some feedback on it. i think your over-reacting to the change. if you want a change makes survivor not use perk at all, they could make it like lethal pursuer where highlight all pallet and window on the map for 20 seconds then disables. that would make perk plummet in use.

Why do you need to add "us vs them" onto every comment people make as if it adds anything more to the conversation.

You know this happens so why does it matter.

i disagree with about 95% of the survivor nerfs as a killer and this nerf was not needed

I can see that happening.

I'm almost certain WoO and MFT will be on the chopping block for the Alien mid-chapter.

I'm 100% in agreeance with you regarding OoO - It is probably the best example that highlights flaws in using pick rates as the primary source of determining whether something is strong vs too strong.

I'd like to think that something other than pick rates/escapes are used in reviewing perks, but that is not really something I can confirm/deny unless someone like @Mandy can chime in.

I am commenting on your dialogue as you present it.

I'm not responsible for the things you post or the way you present your arguments/commentary.

I don't think people realize just how strong this perk can be, it definitely needs a small nerf.

With that said, I think the aura distance is what needed a nerf, not a cooldown.

No cooldown, reduce it down to 20 meters and it'll be in a good spot imo.

Do you have the slightest idea how little that answers?

We want to know,is this a planned change?

Are you trying to soften the blow?

Do you do some crowd control before the damage?

Are you finally coming out as killer sided?

This perk does literally nothing if you know the maps, it's laughably overrated. Pick literally anything else except Up the Ante and you're improving your build.

i never thought windows was a problem despite the usage rates. the problem is the maps themselves, nerfing the perk is just a band aid fix. but it's fine it got nerfed until they do something about maps like garden badham etc.

Its literally the old flavour text before it was changed to having no CD lol

It's funny that people still use the "It's a perk for new players" argument to defend WoO. A new player would not even know that such perk exist before seeing it or someone telling them, starting by the fact that it's blocked behind a DLC survivor.

The only truth is that this perk is used by experienced high MMR survivors to extend chases by literally having X-rays and knowing exactly where the unused pallets are, so they can just leave the current unsafe loop to the next one with a guaranteed pallet or literally not loop at all and just go from pallet to pallet, as they know that even then they would "loop" the killer enough for at least 2 gens.

And if a "newer" player use it, the only thing it would do is for him to be able to win chases that he shouldn't (NOED, anybody?) and put a ceiling in his skill building as he don't even need to learn how the maps or looping goes.

So the only bad thing about this is that it is only the description (and that it would be an unannounced nerf, which is not fair), but it is about time that WoO has some kind of drawback instead of just being "X-rays vision for free".

The issue with windows is the tile logic and the way windows and pallets spawn around the map. Windows is fine when on a map that's fair for both sides to play on. But when it highlights pallets/windows that are chained together the problem starts to come through.

Windows shows new players where to go. It shows experienced players were not to go. It’s useful for everyone.

I don’t care how good you are, you’re not psychic. And that is why the perk is strong. Running into an area of the map hoping to find a pallet only to find it gone should be a natural part of this game. Apparently that’s unfair lol and people need to be aware at all times of where to run next on autopilot.

Either that, or the devs did this on purpose to test the waters and get a community response. They know that nobody would complain (or at least nobody woukd be surprised) if certain other perks at the tip of the list got a nerf, but Windows is a weird case in that it's not a great perk in its own and is mostly used by players learning how to loop. (I think the overwhelming consensus is that Windows clearly does not need a nerf.)

Everybody is complaining about MfT, and while I agree that it's OP, it's not anywhere near as bad as FTP+BU. Survivors can use that offensively like old DS, and it doesn't even deactivate during the endgame. It's as bad as original Dead Hard.

No one complained about this perk it's just run with the chase builds now mft resil hope windows and I guess they decided windows was the problem genius devs.

They should have made it an official change, WoO is too good, it makes looping considerably easier since you dont have to bother learning the layout, or plan your route beforehand.

These kind of treats just show how worthless the feedback on the forums is.

If any of you played a single match with it you would have noticed it wasen't nerfed at all. Just a text error.

Too many people that want to voice their experiences before having said experiences

I used WoO before the buff when it had these numbers (i think, right?) and for me it was totally fine.

So even it wouldn't just be a textbug (which i didnt't tested yet due the fun i',m having with the Xeno), WoO would be still OK.
