How I'd Buff Wake Up
Since Wake Up is getting changed soon, I decided to make a buff idea, here is my proposed change:
Wake Up
You prepare yourself for an intense ending after a long and tiring trial of horrors.
Whenever the exit gates are powered, you benefit from the following effects:
- The auras of the Exit Gate Switches are revealed to you, and opening an exit gate will reveal your aura to other survivors.
- You open exit gates 25/30/35% faster.
If you are asleep in the dream world, you automatically wake up every time a generator is completed.
"Ok, look. If we survive the next 24 hours, then I'll take you out on a real date." — Quentin Smith
This change is small, but improves it's already existing affects, while finally doing what it's supposably going to do, wake you up. I feel like the perk is fine in its current state, but since the roadmap reveals a change for the perk, I came up with this idea and I feel like it will be perfect, small but useful.
I request feedback! It's very appreciated.

I like the simplification of text.
Though you’ll still need to have a tier 1/2/3 setup somehow just given the way the perk system is setup.
But no killer specific Perks. Perks are not meant to directly impact Powers. I would remove the Wake-Up effect for the dream world.

I edited it to include all tiers.
The wake up from everytime a generator is completed I feel like belongs to this perk considering it originally was on Adrenaline. But we will debate if it is healthy or not! :)

It was removed from adrenaline because they do not want killer specific balancing on perks so it should not be brought back

I agree with increasing the bonus to 35% but not with it waking up survivors in the dream world. Having effects on perks that directly counter specific killer powers is bad, they already removed this from Adrenaline and I doubt they would add it back to this.
I think instead it should allow all survivors to see the auras of the exit gates permanently once they are powered (instead of only the perk owner).

I'd love it personally if Gates had checkpoints (25,50,75,90?) so if you let go they regress just very slightly. This could push Wake Up up in popularity without really touching the perk itself.

Fair!

I’m sure you’d love it if Thwack gave the Killer a 5% haste anytime they’re in chase with Thalita or Renato, because it’s thematic as it was from the Killer they released with.

I've wanted this change for a while. I honestly think 99ing the gates does more harm than good so I want my fellow survivors to just open the dang doors, and I will request nerfing the gate switch if that's what it takes.
