Should Totems keep progress?
With the ongoing war of Thrill of hunt being 46 secs to cleanse and interrupts ruining all progress should Devs change it so totem destruction progress is kept just like gates if so and if not Why?

If Ultimate Weapon didn't force it I don't think Thrill will, it'll just be dialed back a bit

I think it'd be fair to have totem progress regress, so that a scream perk can't negate totem-cleansing but chasing survivors off of totems still works.
I also think the gates should regress (to specific thresholds, not completely) but that's a different topic.

lowkey yes, because only other thing that don't lose progress is sabotaging action (which is quite fast).
If I found totem, I should be able to cleanse it and not spend half of the match trying to do so because killer harasses me all the time or uses scream perks

I don't think it's a good idea to make sweeping changes to account for a messed up value on one perk.
Thrill should just be nerfed.

Keep progress - noh.
Regress over time - optional\maybe.

Doesn't really make sense to nerf totems on global scale, when most of them are not really good.
Just revert the change and buff Thrill in any other way than just %.3 -
I don't think they should change how totems have worked since their introduction just because an overbuffed perk now exists. Nerf Thrill back to an acceptable level, and it'll be fine.
Your suggestion nerfs totems for killers and hex builds across the board and, if anything, makes Thrill even more necessary for builds that run hexes.

No. There is a German word for it - "verschlimmbessern" - which means that you try to make things better, but you make them worse instead.
This would be one of those changes. Totems dont need to have their progress saved, because before this Patch it was never a problem that they did not save progress. And it would certainly be bad for players who dont run Thrill of the Hunt.
The problem is the change they did to Thrill of the Hunt. This should be dealt with. Not adding other things to make the Perk semi-bearable.

This is unnecessary. Thrill of the Hunt just needs to get nerfed.
2 -
Perfect.
3 -
This i do think would fair compromise for both sides so progress isnt instantly deleted nor immediately destroyed
1 -
Im actually okay with this depending on how fast the regression is
0 -
Then what?
People will just run Dominance or undying or both

But then thrill just becomes useless again. Better to change the mechanic as a whole, and fix the one part of it that is problematic, and now we have another viable perk and build that isn't just the same 4 slowdown perks every single game.
Or do you like running into pain res, dms, deadlock every game?
2 -
Then Thrill just becomes mandatory and running hex's without it is basically pointless as they'll be cleansed easier than ever.
3 -
Also to put it simply - if totems are now keeping the progress, then killers will need a way or option to regress this progress.
Ever dreamed about "kicking" the totems same as gens? Totem-kicking perks anyone? Sounds pretty goofy to me.
1 -
And that is any different then undying is now? If you run a hex build either you take undying, or you are running hexes like plaything/pentimento. What it does is unlock a potential build the might be viable if they just took out the part of it that is super problematic, which is the quick interrupts with things like screams.
0 -
I'm not saying hexes can't be buffed in a different way, but balancing ALL hexes around the idea of Thrill being in play is the same problem as balancing Thrill around the idea of Counterforce being in play. It just makes perks mandatory.
Hexes shouldn't -need- Thrill, and Thrill shouldn't make them broken.

Ok see ya when Dominance is the new meta
Buff Dominance! 46 seconds
0 -
What makes you think that swapping Thrill for Dominance would improve the situation?
1 -
This is equivalent to getting spam emails: Adds nothing to anything other than 'look at me look at me!' and is more like a child not getting their toy.
Ignore everything but the parts you like all you want. Thrill is causing the game to be disrupted (Honestly, not sure if it's thrill or thrill's interaction with other things.) and needs to be addressed. Just enjoy it while it's here and so on and so forth. This is just another cycle in dbd. BHVR screws things up, people complain, people complain about the complaining, then something gets gutted into oblivion. Ugh..
edit: Also, dominance over Thrill, even old Thrill. Dominance is at most 16 seconds of waiting. Buff Dominance to 60 seconds, and its still more worthwhile for survivors as its not 'breaking the game'. That's what we're trying to get rid of.

Nah - reduce values of TOTH.
1 -
It's just thrill. The other perks are fine.
0 -
Improving? That's just what people gonna do after thrill gets nerfed
0 -
They could also remove the unnecessary cleanse debuff to calm spirit, a perk you tend not to see even though I have it as base kit lol.
As much as I love and rather harden, spending time to do a totem and a chest is too much time wasting.
0 -
That's fine so long as Dominance isn't busted. Buffing Dominance to be as busted as TotH currently is would just perpetuate the problem.
0 -
Absolutely, I hate totems especially devour and penti, they are too strong
0 -
How about we just nerf thrill?
