People who complained about Ultimate Weapon, did nerfing it make a big difference?

The nerf went in the wrong direction like always nerfs aren‘t reasonable. They only needed to increase the cooldown a bit or/and make it‘s duration shorter/longer.

The only killer that can use it now is pig. Wow.

i thought the nerf they were going give it is that perk deactivates upon first person that screams. so for example if you open a locker and 2 people around, both survivor scream. if you open a locker and nobody screams, the first person to enter your TR screams.

Unfortunately they didn't nerf it in respectable way. they just murdered the perk downright. Judging from Pig rework and Onryo changes, I'd say the ultimate weapon was exclusively Pig targeted nerf.

Someone probably faced Michael Myer's tombstone →Head pop pig → Onryo Mori in one day and decided that there is too many mori's in the game so we should delete 2 of them.

Your idea would also been good, but no like you said behavior always has to murder perks. They did the same with MFT, where they could have tried 2% speed when not exhausted.

Maybe the UW nerf came for pig. I suggested in the past, that when people get interrupted at boxes the search progress regresses over time, but no they butchered both instead of an easy fix.

I‘m scared what they will do to Myers. They will probably do a really bad rework, which nobody likes and call it a day or it will be busted. I really want that they revert Sadako and her addons back to her first version, but keep the buffs and pig should get her auras back.

My complaint about current Ultimate Weapon is that because you're forced to look at the locker while activating the perk, it's really hard to tell where a scream came from. It'll reliably tell you if survivors are nearby, but it's hard to tell where. You were already moving when old UW would trigger, so that wasn't a problem.

Not that I'm advocating for a return. Old UW was fun but very busted.

None of the perks bother me. Old DH, old Ruin, or even old MFT were fine to me. That includes old UW.

As to your question: I do see it a lot less on Killers when I play Survivor. But the Killers I play against don’t seem more strong or weak, they all seem about the same.

The old new Uw was OK but I guess there was too much overlap with Darkness Revealed

This is BHVR's m.o.; they don't often make sensible changes to problematic perks, they ignore them or nuke them from orbit. On both sides.

Yeah, I agree. I rarely see it anymore. But that doesn't mean it was nerfed to the ground. True balance means that all perks should be seen rarely since there a so friggin' many of them now.

I don't think original UW was THAT unbalanced perk, but slightly too strong on already strong killers.
Saddest thing UW nerfed into absolutely nothing. There were so many good and healthy suggestions, but BHVR once again chose to kill another perk and make surprised face about killers run only gen slowdown.

UW could use a larger radius buff from the locker and it would be fine.

People didn't like the old iteration because it bypassed Distortion and they didn't want to bring Calm Spirit.

they over-kill made for this too. the perk needed more drawbacks like dh but they remove accessible speed and as such, the perk vanished. in general, bvhr is not really known for reviving killer perks but they are known for reviving survivor perks so maybe MFT gets Decisive strike, Iron will etc. treatment where they change it again to be usable.

It IS literally useless, most tracking perks are just better in every way. The perk was problematic af but its new version is on par with beast of prey and the like.

Yeah, I wonder why. STBFL nerfed (1 of 2 good perk for m1 killers), the only good anti-healing perk nerfed, Hexes are casino and they still refuse to do something with them, aura perks are not allowed by survivor's rulebook and completely denied by endless distortion. Killers waste two perk slots on gimmicky combo with easiest counterplay? Let's cry a river until killers will go back to our lovely four gen slowdown.

So, talking about gen slowdown. Have no idea why killers chose it.

I really hope they revert more killer and survivor perks.

MFT, undying, ruin, COB, OC, DH, COH,….

First of all those numbers don't mean anything as nightlight only counts a small fraction of the community, I can tell you from experience I was running it every other game. Killers can't know who has what perks yes but they certainly had no problem downing someone instantly and hooking them again which is certainly knowingly taking advantage of the bug.

Let's actually be honest here you clearly wanted a response where I complained about other killer perks but I didn't because unlike you my brain isn't "us vs. them" addled so you went into my posting history hoping to find something and the best you could do was me being frustrated with a bug. It's extremely pathetic and you should try playing both sides instead of this killer persecution complex you have going on.

The perk has a 60 second cooldown now, not 30. It used to be active for 30 seconds, then a 30 second cooldown, so still about 60 seconds between screams but you get the idea. The info it gave was stupid and I think the nerf was warranted. I think it's a reasonable perk now, but Darkness Revealed is way higher value unless you're up against Distortion.

Stopping the effect after finding the first survivor makes a lot more sense than how they chose to nerf it. I've been running Darkness Revealed a ton this update anyway, seems like people are trying out Iron Will and the new Lara perks, so they're too busy to put in Distortion.

It's a bit sad how almost all good info perks are aura reading now. I mean, in this very last update, two aura reading perks were buffed, and 3 knight addons were reworked to provide aura reading. How about adding a killer instinct perk, or loud noise notification perk? It's really no wonder Distortion is a top 10 perk when almost every good info perk is aura reading anyway.

I mean fair but that was a typo I meant I was running into it every other game, whether it was people I was unhooking or me getting unhooked even though I wasn't running the perks.
