Is there a bug with the aura of Hex: Plaything?
I'm on PS5 BTW.
I've been hit with this perk a few times now, and in all games I've had, I simply cannot see the aura of my totem... I have even had Open Handed a few times, which I think affects Plaything... and I still can't find my totem after running around the whole map...
I've actually thrown a few games now, cause I've suspected there is a bug, and I've deliberately hunted my totem as soon as I have it, and I still cannot find it.
Is anyone else having issues with it? I'm not sure if I'm just incredibly unlucky and not looking the right way at the right time, or the aura is borked?
The only way I'd be truly happy to bug report it is if I found my totem and could confirm the aura is being hidden, but thus far I haven't succeeded.

P.S: Would there be anyone on PlayStation willing to add me to their friends list and test it?
Need 2 people ideally so, feel free to PM me if interested.

I thought I was going crazy! However finally confirmed it was real! I can stop throwing games trying to find out xD
- You can see no aura behind the rock.
- I break the hex.
- Oblivious is gone!
No reason to post this here, other than vindicate myself and share the info!
Making a bug report now!
Does anyone know if Open Handed affect Hex:Plaything BTW? I think it does but can't confirm it right now 😅

Oh that sucks. Wonder if they'll killswitch it as fast as they did flashlight perks lol

I also just played two back to back games where my plaything aura was not shown to me, even when I was on the other side of the wall from me. I'm also on PS5. Here's hoping they fix it!

Yes it is bugged
they are probably discussing right now whether this "bug" could be an intended feature of the perk or not, just like how Kindred should not show the killer's aura to you if you are on the hook
Survivors perks are getting gutted
Distortion next

I'm not quite sure, if this is even considered a case for the killswitch. It's not technically game breaking in the sense that you still get to play the game, just at a considerable disadvantage.
Regardless, I definitely hope they will killswitch it as soon as possible because this is certainly a pain to play against.

Someone posts about a bugged killer perk and you immediately flip it into completely unrelated survivor victimization and scaremongering. Impressive.

No wonder I didn't find it. I ran through the hole Swamp map and not found my totem from outer walls nor from the center of map, or ship or boat. lol
I kinda suspected it being bugged because not long ago I heard someone saying in the live that they were looking for Plaything totem for a long time but didn't find it. Now that it happened to me, and I didn't find it, but I actually found burning totem, but killed grabbed me while I was cleansing it.
There is a reason why auras are shown to survivors. This is actually very unfair bug.

I've ran into this too. I stopped using it on killer side once I realized this until they patch it.

To be fair the flashlights was a serious issue. Plaything is still not ideal but I would take that over being held hostage.

I use this perk, it's why I p3 Pinhead but have never played as him. I have NEVER seen their auras, ever. Maybe I just didn't notice but now I'm going to pay attention.

The devs have stated directly that the kill switch is supposed to be for things that can create unintended considerable imbalances in gameplay. It's just that they're incredibly inconsistent at applying the kill switch at all.
There was a bug where nurse could soft lock and freeze, completely unable to move or interact, and they kill switched her for 6 weeks until they could apply the fix, but a nearly identical bug for twins was left in the game for about 3 months without kill switching them.
Same thing with the merciless storm bug that was literally deleting the entire gens progress when you actually hit the skill checks. Never kill switched, but was in game for I think 8 weeks or so.

Ah, this explains why I saw three or four Killers yesterday running Plaything but no Pentimento.
