Fix The Plague

I don't know why when I hit my puke and see the survivor animation and hear the sound playing but the survivor doesn't get infected or injured. I opened up someones twitch stream, they get hit by plagues puke and guess what? Animation plays from survivors pov and he didn't get infected. The survivor streamer was confused how he wasn't infected because it was a clear hit.

Please fix the plague. Her power isn't working properly.

    This is called client-side server-side distinction, is just a minor side-effect of plague having server priority.

    If you are getting affected by that, you are at least compensated with better lunges from the bad ping, so try to capitalize on that instead

    If they do that by killer-side, this killer will be even worse to play against. No killer should be rewarded by bad ping.

    Fixing her hit detection should do.

    This is the problem with this game's community. If something is killer-favoring, it gets changed. If it's survivor-favoring, we leave it as is "because you just can't have survivors not having fun!" But you CAN have the killer not having fun. I see how it is.

    Her power (vomit) is super broken right now. I main her and it seems like it's now bugged or they "stealth nerfed" her.

    Not good….

    not bias at all. i made post about this issue like 1 year or 2 years ago. it never got address or fixed. her puke should not be server validated. she was schedule to get some changes with pinhead but changes were pushed back because of freddy who is arguably in a worse spot. hopefully they fix this terrible validation by removing it

    i love using flame throwers in fps games but her flamethrower doesn't work properly at all.

    lost so many games bc i would puke on somebody. they screamed but they were not infected or injured. my ping averages 60. they need to fix the puke.

    no that is not the problem my guy. the problem is the tick-rate of the puke. not every single drop of puke is actually "puke". it's just there for show. so when you hit them with the "fake" puke, they scream but don't get affected.

    It's really lazy game design and they need to fix her. I play around 50-60 ping and have stopped playing Plague bc of this issue.

    For no reason whatsoever I'm remembering there was a controversy a while back because BHVR tried to do a bug fix that made vault hits match their animation in a way that favored survivors. It got reverted within a week because of all the killer complaints. Just like, random instance of a survivor-favoring thing that got reverted. Wonder why that popped into my memory just now.

    Its actually funny how many killer powers are server sided because some if not most of them were designed to be played with the killer hosting the server in mind.

    For example, blight playing at 120 ping in the main servers, nearly unplayable experience for anyone who has played the game for more than 10 hours, same blight on a ptb with 120 ping (which is killer hosted matches) normal great experience.

    They just didn't design most killers with the ping in mind and don't really fix them as they go because no ones ever made a big enough stink about it

    Ghostface leaning and stalking

    Myers stalking

    Plagues bile

    Blights rushes

    Weskers dashes

    ect

    ect

    ect (im lazy with more examples but its at least half the roster)
