Can you please add a small visual flash on screen when a Skill Check is coming? It would be so nice!

I REALLY love the update that added the heartbeat for Terror Radius from DBD mobile, the only thing keeping me from chilling happily and listening to music/videos while playing Survivor is the lack of any visual que for skill checks.

It can match the audio prompt perfectly in terms of timing, and can be removed or shortened for Huntress Lullaby.

And of course, more importantly, it would be a nice change for the audibly impaired.

    have you considered having the music low enough so the skillcheck sound overpowers it? or just, looking at the screen like lullaby has max stacks?


    no visual aid that triggers at the same time as the skill check appears on screen is gonna help you

    I listen to the audio through my PC and play through the TV next to me.

    A visual que would absolutely help and not change the game negatively in any way at all, so there is no reason to be against it considering it would also be a good update for people who have poor/no hearing.

    By your logic, the audio que doesn't help people, which is just flat out wrong. There is a entire Hex perk dedicated to removing the audio and tripping people up.

    On top of being able to listen to thing (if you so chose), I think this would be a nice little accesibility QoL for hard of hearing players. It could be an option to be turned on, just like the visual terror radius.

    audio gets the attention. and people pay more attention when something is taken away. aka, not having the sound is weird. people get used to the timing of it, so muscle memory is what trips people up. but you can beat a lullaby just by focusing.


    the thing is that you are looking at the screen, in theory, looking for the killer or to what your teammates are doing. your visual attention is focused elsewhere (maybe even in the video you might be watching while you play or maybe a forum page or some ice cream). the audio cue gets you to focus on the skill check and on the center of the screen, the place it's usually at. and that is the thing. a small visual aid would not change that.


    and if you want the entire screen to flash, then no. epilepsy is a thing. let's not make the entire screen blink. even just once.



    granted, I'm not opposed to the characters getting an exclamation point over their heads all mgs like that matches the sound cue timing,

    or something like that. I'm just not convinced it's needed.


    but if it would actually help someone that is audibly impaired, then I say great! let's do it.


    you should probably post this on feedback and suggestions
