The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

Maps are now worst than before
Now maps are worst than before which i am pretty certain the rework was meant to be the opposite of
They overall feel like they have way less charges than before thus feeling way less comfortable to use , before you could quickly tap the map to get a quick info burst on where things were and barely loose any charges making it that the map could easily be used all game if needed
Now you need to waste some of the few charges the item has to see an objective for far longer than needed making it very restrictive in its usage , if you wanna see totems with them you need an addon now that also disables the new map utility of showing pallets and vaults
Only way to see gens with them now is wasting a charge and putting the beam down and hoping that said gen is within 32 meters of the beam
They also no longer show chests which i know isnt a big deal but still loosing anything on a item that was already underperforming for it to do nothing better isnt the best look
To me the rework of maps is a complete failure
They don't really do anything better and now feel way less comfortable and more restrictive to use

Agree. The new charge system is way too limited in use and I don‘t like that they removed all the old functions from maps. All they needed to do was add an addon for maps that shows you windows and pallets and make the iri map the base one.

Maps and keys are dead
very unfortunate

I just wish they tracked more than just gens, pallets and windows.
Chests and Exit Gates (for new players) are good things to add. Hatch is unnecessary and more fit for keys, Totem add-on should be uncommon, Hooks aren't that needed to track and Killer traps got removed for a reason.
But still, there are at least 2 things they did track and don't anymore.

Gens arent really tracked anymore
And the fact that totems now need an addon when before they were basekit for most maps is a little bit stupid also like i said if you put the totem tracking addon the map you no longer tracks pallets and windows5 -
Have a friend that farmed Skeleton Keys using Exultation and the add-on that let's you keep the key after dying. He got more than 600 just for them to become trash now.

In their defense nobody ever used them even before the changes.

Between what they did to Clown, what they were about to do to Knight and what they did to maps/keys you really have to unironically wonder if the folks at BHVR truly play/understand their own game.

Because they were weak items. They needed a buff, not a complete rework

OOOOOFF

It's like they balanced the amount of charges around the Iridescent Add-Ons but even those are pretty weak.

It's not supposed to do that, that is a bug.

Even though they are objectively weaker, I do think it's funny that the pick rate probably won't change.
Nobody used them since they were awful, and in true BHVR fashion, now nobody will use them since they've been made even worse.
Incredibly questionable design choices all around.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't new keys also show the auras of shut hatches? Granted you have to use a charge to see it but being able to see the hatch and open it with the same key is kind of crazy. Makes left behind kind of useless now.

As a boon player i did use maps quite a lot and still it doenst excuse the fact that they made them worst while the objective of teh rework was supposed to make them better
1 -
Yeah dbd devs balance team whoever handle that , have proven time and time again that they arent the most qualified for their station
1 -
And even the iri addon also reduces charges aswell anyway

As a boon player if i wasnt personally so affected by their failure of a rework i guess i would also find it quite funny how bad they are at their jobs

Maps and Keys have way to little charges and their iri. Add-ons have way to many dowsides. Blood Amber now has 3 downsides and the map Iri. Add-on doesn't even work on the brown map because the brown map is 10 seconds and the Add-on removes 10 seconds. Way to restricted.
You can't "feather" keys and maps anymore like you could before by just using it for half a second and sparing charges. From their effects, they're way more useful than what they were.. but they need more charges and have the iri Add-ons not apply that many downsides.

Maybe keys are more useful but for maps nop they are pretty much worst in everyway , they do nothing better than the former maps and actually do worst in many aspect

TThe New charges system is for maps and keys needs to be reverted as well as the map addons they legit retire a map offering only to put it in again with the exzact same feature just changed the name they could have just changed the addons name not out right get rid of people's 400 and 500 addons
