Dream Pallets are so bad

survivors can clearly see which pallet is a fake one, even more, when Freddy uses the pallet explosion, the survivors can drop the pallet in the middle of the animation, and cancel the explosion, the pallets need to be identical to the normal pallets again, and they shouldn't be able drop the pallet in the middle of the animation

    This is even worse in maps that have no places where pallets dont spawn, Just had the first map in Lerys, there are no places to put a pallet. The entire 33% of the things my Power kit could do was GONE until Endgame, AND EVEN THEN survivors would NEVER go near a dream pallet.

    It seems BHVR wants me to spam the Snares at every moment I can to gain momentum on Survivors and then force them into a dream pallet, but I cant do the second half when all pallet spaces are occupied.

    Constructive feedback: Make sure all maps have have places where pallets could spawn but had not so I have a place to actually use the Power.

    It's better to only focus on using snares than wasting time using dream pallets

    Also the killer instinct is broken, not working on generator teleportation/healing survivors. You're not rewarded with information of where a survivor is after teleporting like promised. They have to do something about the pallets counterplay too or make it way harder to get out of the dream as it is too easy at this moment.

    While holding the Dream Pallet-Ability, Freddy can walk through Survivors who are NOT asleep. Is this a bug or intended? Like Demanifestation-Sadako.

    Usually if survivors drop a dream pallet mid-chase, they'll be animation locked and lose all momentum, so it should lead to a hit anyway.

    You can only see if its a dream pallet when you're about 6 meters close to them and if a survivor drops the pallet to counter the explosion they lose all their distance and get animation locked giving you a free m1 anyways. Pallets are best when used and a zoning tool if you time it properly. The biggest issue is some maps not letting you place them mainly indoor maps being the worse because survivors have to use a real pallet before you can even place a fake one.

    I thought they were going to be like you pop the rupture right before drop then the pallet explodes letting you potentially get a follow up hit but no it just cancels

    if you couldn't tell if the pallet was real or fake there probably would be some gameplay with it because freddy could play a loop like its a actual loop then explode it on you. the moment you see its fake you just run away or accept he's got you. theres no real gameplay to this version and i hope they bring back the old dream pallet look.

    How did they make dream pallets worse

    I wouldn't mind if dream pallets looked identical to regular pallets to asleep survivors (at least prior to Rupture being started), but it's good that awake survivors can tell a pallet is fake.

    With old Freddy the counterplay to fake pallets was to memorize/figure out what is real while you were awake and it's important to keep that while awake at least, otherwise there would be no way to tell and it would feel cheap.

    Also, if you drop a pallet to cancel rupture, you're losing distance and will often just get hit by Freddy in that scenario so that's not really a big deal.

    Yeah id take that scenario to. Since it is still a Buff compared to the live addon version. Since there you wouldn't have the pallet at all if the survivors awake. Itd be nice to keep some of his current dream pallet design for asleep survivors (them not knowing if it's real or fake)

    I do agree they shouldn't be able to tell it's a fake pallet, at least not until they are inside the explosion radius. As for dropping it to cancel the explosion I think this is fine as they lose distance to do that anyway.
