Lights Out Mode
This mode is really letting the killer players that are good show off just how good they are. No scratch marks and no perks? Some Killers players just have to tunnel as fast as they can or they are not going to get a single kill. But some players are like wizards. I went up against a pyramid head that was amazing during this lights out mode and probably a terror during regular gameplay.
And then I went up against the trapper player that just tunnels me out as fast as he could and that's good for him, a little embarrassing when put up next to the really good killer players, but tunneling hey man if you got to do it you got to do it.
I posted this while I was waiting for the match to end. He tunnelled everybody.

When I played as Survivor, I havent had too much tunneling, but Ive seen a lot of camping. Killers are having a really hard time tracking which results in them feeling as if they have nowhere to go.
I personally dont mind tunneling since it's at least engaging but camping is kind of boring for me, they kind of just sit there and do nothing, people can play how they want, just not something I like to go against.
Ive been trying my best to avoid camping and tunneling as Killer myself but Ive still gotten a lot of hateful comments from people in the post-game chat. :(

This mode needs Pyramid Head's Cage of Attonement treatment for hooks.
Once a survivor has been hooked, teleport them to a different hook somewhere else on the map. Prevent the killer from seeing the hook's aura so they just can't go and camp the new hook or get a head start on tunneling (they have to wait for the unhook noise notification to know where to go and then make their way over if they want to tunnel)

"Lights Out" should just be called "Killer Wins". The killer shouldn't be able to see hooks or gens if we can't see anyhting really as survivor. Add in legion and yeah lol.

This mode has just attracted cheaters. The amount of P0 or P1 killers I'm going against who steamroll everyone and seem to know *exactly* where you are even if you're hidden in a dark corner away from gens is crazy. I'm doing the tome then going back to normal mode. These guys are ruining it for everyone else.

No scratch marks? Been playing for 7 years and half of that time scratch marks didn't work. Lucky audio is working this week.

You sure it's not just people using killers with tracking abilities? Legion's Frenzy still gives away survivor positions for example.

I had two quite obvious ones - a Bubba and a Doctor. The Doctor didn't use his shock therapy or static blast at all, which was another red flag because Lights Out mode seems like the best time to use it. Feels like they either both forgot they can't hide behind BBQ&C in this mode, or they didn't care.

Yeah, Legion feels like easy mode in this.
I think Light’s Out would be more fun if Killer could still see the hooks when carrying a Survivor, but not after, and couldn’t see the gens at all, either.

I played a match against Legion and immediately thought this killer is broken in this mode. Kinda surprised to see several complaints about him already.

It makes absolutely no sense that you can’t hear Legion’s TR but their killer instinct still works.

About the Legion, the way he is in the mode is the only way they could make him work in Lights Out.

Having completed the Lights Out Tome, I can say that it was super fun.
Survivors are whining, but what else is new?
I played survivor most of the event, and yeah, it was killer sided, but the challenge was fun, and 150% BP was nice.
I also noticed that while "Killer Sided" it wasn't just a free win for most of the killers, the lack of information perks meant that if a survivor got a stun off, (especially on bloody floor maps like Gg) they were in Narnia.
I won just as many games as I lost as survivor and it was so refreshing and different. I hope the devs tweak it a bit and keep it around! Especially if they start doing rotating "Special Modes."

Like someone else said, this mode would be perfect if killers were forced to use Cage of Torment instead of conventional hooking. Hook camping makes this ez mode. Personally I like the vibe of this mode, but hook camping ruins it.
