it seems like the devs only nerf survivor perks but never killer why is that?...

Windows of opportunity was fine. Mft is fine, COH was fine, Dh was fine, ds was fine, prove thyself was fine....

it seems like the devs are only catering to one side of the community. why does everything survivor needs to be nerfed.

    but killer perks are fine for the most part.. NOED sucks and sloppy butcher is getting old but that's it, what perks do you have in mind?

    You are entering very dangerous territory here just to warn you. I'm assuming you are a survivor main and for the record killer perks do get nerfed and you'd be suprised by how many killer mains there are like you who think survivor perks never get nerfed.

    While I can see how you may be feeling the effect of the survivor nerfs, there have been plenty on the killer side as well which is why we have the sloppy meta we have now. Nerfs just create new metas and don't erase issues within the game

    How do you believe that the game only nerfs survivor?

    Can we make it a rule that when someone complains about killers being too strong/survivors being too weak, they get locked out of playing survivor for 24 hours, and vice versa?

    Probably the only thing we will see more killer perk buffs.

    They just don't care about solo survivors.

    They didn't nerf windows, just the text was changed, Mandy commented about that relax

    Survivors get 16 perks while Killer gets 4.

    What perks do you want nerfed? And why? You give no examples...

    PR is problem atm on killers like Nurse, Blight.

    They need to nuke this perk or nerf these killers. There is no reason to make op killers even more busted but this perk does.

    If those people weren't here there'd be like twelve people left and it would take 2 hours to get into a game.

    Eruption, CoB and Overcharge. As well as Ruin and Pop.

    I'm pretty sure these are all killer perks.

    eh, gonna have to disagree. If it was old PR, where they could use it endlessly (Well, I guess 12 times)? Sure, but it only has four tokens now. Those issues are entirely reliant on Blight and Nurse being themselves. On everybody else, it's fine. A good perk, but one that can be dealt with pretty easily.

    Survivors have been getting nothing but love as of late, not to mention getting one of the most broke perks and perk combo in recent dbd history, MFT along with For the People and Buckle Up combo.

    Killers have gotten almost all of their regression perks nerfed, two nerfed so hard that they have practically been removed from the game (COB and OC).

    Survivors also got a visual terror radius as basekit (which used to be a perk!) which guts killers like onryo, and survivors also got HUD updates where they always get perfect information on demand more than even SWFs would be communicating (no SWFs are constantly reporting exact gen progress, healing progress, etc...).

    If anything, survivors have been getting stronger and stronger while killers are becoming weaker and weaker (except nurse and blight - they need nerfs).

    That's why i said nerf these killers or perk.

    Perk is fine on other killers. But Nurse & Blight are already problematic killers and giving them weapon which makes game longer is creates even bigger balance problems.

    Oh, I meant it more as we all just start getting along. I didn't mean we push them all into a volcano or something. I mean, we could, but I'm going to tell people it was your idea.

    We shouldn't balance around Nurse and Blight. They have issues that need adressed, I agree, but 'nuking' a perk because of them is pretty bad design.

    Then again, I'm pretty sure the Blight must have some blackmail on BHVR or something with how often he skirts past nerfs.

    Dude loves reading the screaming headlines on forum the game so much that he didn't find time to check if the windows wasn't really nerfed.

    I am going to close this here. As always, feedback is appreciated, but I think proclaiming the Team favors a side is not all that fair, to be honest, to the Team working hard on these things, and it definitely is not true.

    Some patches or frames of time may feel like they lean more toward one side or another with changes; but both sides are looked at equally in regards to community feedback (and not just from the Forums), data, and so on, to look into something and see if adjustments may be needed.

    Also, as already stated earlier on the Forums Today by Mandy, Windows of Opportunity has not been changed; the text of the perk description does not currently match the unchanged ability of the perk.
