QOL changes without fixing window vaults is a waste of time.

hopefully they do. It’s extremely unfun outplaying some killers and they did a wild hit.

They tried to fix it by giving Survivor extra distance on fast vault but that lasted a week before it got reverted because Killer complaints. 🤡

It also made trappers power almost useless and created incredibly problematic loops thanks to said distance but I feel you do not want to clarify those points.

Its a part of net code where the usually they see you before you see them and they usually see you slightly longer than you can see them while running away. Basically peakers advantage but in dbd. The lagging end of peakers advantage is the player who is running away look slightly further away on their screen then they do on the screen of the person they are running from.

You can't expect people to hit where their opponents are on their opponents screen because the server cannot register their connection fast enough to give an exact placement of where they are meaning you can do the right thing on your screen to no avail because its not matching their screen, so because ping exists everything basically has to exist with a netcode of playing based off what the server shows you on your opponents screens not where you are on your screen this means that you have to play around where you think you will be on your opponents screen not where you are on your screen. Getting hit through a window even though you are through it on your screen doesn't mean you were through it on their screen. You can't exactly expect people to play like that because then if the survivors had the slightest bit of latency no attacks could land because they would swing at where you are on their screen (and it would try to connect via aim dressing) then go through them because you aren't there on your screen only their screen, so basically any attack on a ping that survivors can move a further distance than the killer hitbox would be physically impossible to play.

Does it suck, yes, is it required yes, does it just force you to play a little faster in terms of resource usage, vault earlier drop earlier etc.. Yes those loops are usually oversized for a reason.

Give it time, you’ll get used to it.

Play more killer, you’ll appreciate it.

The problem is that vaults, even with low ping, are not fine. I had situations (playing on around 30 Ping usually) where the Killer had an equally good Ping and I fast vaulted with Finesse and STILL got hit. And you can visually see that you just got dedicated because the animation of going down looks really weird, because you instantly lose any momentum and it looks like you were just standing at the Window.

And this is when both sides have really good Ping and honestly - how is this acceptable? You can basically have the best ping possible and if the Killer has bad Ping, you get hit anyway. But if the Killer also has good Ping, then there is no way that you should get hit there..

IMO it was a kneejerk reaction to revert to bad vaults after a few days (without any acknowledgment back then, they just reverted them without saying anyting) just because Killers complained. They should have given it way more time for players to get used to it and then figure out how to address any issues that might arise (e.g. Trapper Traps).
