Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

    thats hilarious but yeah this shouldn't happen

    either rework the perk so it does something different or refund stuff as this shouldn't happen multiple times within a season let alone a month

    but we know you are trying your best so I hope me and my fellow members can be patient

    Yeah I bought the survivor and never got to even use the perk like at least conviction is kinda funny to use so I got a few games to play with that one but I really got the character for last stand...

    I guess it's too hard to make it not affect vault speeds and make you invulnerable.

    I mean, I'd rather it be killswitched for a while until it no longer gives perma-Finesse with certain perks than having a repeat of the Streetwise debacle and having a tsunami of hatred fall upon the devs until they killswitch it anyway.

    It's annoying that a new perk is killswitched, I agree, but it's not going anywhere and since the game also isn't going anywhere anytime soon then it's just a matter of time until it can be used again and window saves can be done again.

    there's a PTB for a reason. things people have bought with real money shouldn't be unavailable to use for this amount of time.

    and it's more than annoying honestly, it's point blank ridiculous… and a massive kick in the teeth to everyone who did buy it. i don't care if i'll be able to use it in another month from now or what, i've already given them my money. as a business this is absolutely unacceptable, especially from a business as big as BHVR's.

    people with this mindset are why they don't take things as seriously as they should. you keep being fine with every error they make and suddenly there's a million more. apologies if i went off on you there but it really is unacceptable and idk why so many people are fine with these kinds of issues.

    if i ordered food from a restaurant and they took my money without giving me any food i would be livid. same goes here.

    No offense taken, I've been called way worse for literally no reason before. A little before the Trickster's release, I took a long break because I was getting slurs/threats thrown at me nearly every games (no matter the role, even when I went out of my way to play nice) and it was starting to get to me. Sometimes you just need to vent a little and you didn't go overboard, I was in the same boat when they first tried the Finisher Mori/basekit Unbreakable.

    I'm not fine with all of BHVR's mistakes, but on the scale of mistakes, a new perk being unavailable for a while (in order to avoid a Streetwise situation again, because let's face it, it would eventually end up the same) isn't too big of a deal. I'd rather it be killswitched until it's fixed than it being nerfed into the ground so no one uses it.

    This is exactly why they are so hesitant to use the killswitch with new content, because people tend to be less forgiving regarding not having access to new content.

    We all paid for any licensed content that gets killswitched ever. This logic always applies regardless of how new or old it is. Only thing that can be done is to hold off on purchasing new content on day 1 until they can restore faith that it will ship in working condition, or continue trusting them to release things in a state that's ready for live.

    The Kill Switch Master List hasn't been updated since August 14. Likely, the perk was accidentally restored without having been fixed, and turned off again as soon as that was discovered. Killswitches do not happen without prior notice on social media among other places.

    Like the perk deactivates after one use, and has nothing to do with vault speed. How is it so bugged? I just want to use it!!!! I probably would only use it once and be done with it. But I have a funny save idea with my friend and vualting a window that sounds funny as heck.

    it’s about to be re-enabled in about 20 minutes with the release of 9.1.3. Hopefully the perk is 100% fixed so it doesn’t get kill switched again.

    Confirming, Last Stand has been re-enabled in-game!

    Does this mean Last Stand has a normal vault animation, and works exactly like normal vaults, except for the stun effect?

    Never buy a new character for the perks. Anything popular will get changed in a few months.
