Pallet Density Changes

Personally, as a killer main, I did not feel that the last iteration of the pallet density was the most balanced thing in the game and truly did make playing ghostface or trapper truly miserable. However, I do believe this to be a step in a worse direction for the game, at least whilst the last iteration stopped some killers from hitting their true potential and encouraged the use of S tier killers, this variation just allows killers to win chases at majority of loops fairly easily. This is even poorer when you realize this only further buffs killers that are currently problems such as blight, who generally excels in chase.

I think that we really need to work towards a middle ground because we've moved from one extreme to another. What's worse is that the initial idea for these changes was to make deadzones less prominent but regardless of these changes not much has actually changed about these existing deadzones. Instead, the changes have seemingly just changed proximity and strength of loops.

As much as I would like to be doom and gloom about this update, I do truly think that if this game is to be changed for the better, we need to work together to find a correct middle ground instead of complaining killer this survivor that.

    we honestly just need to get the devs to play their own game. For some reason they don’t want too. Maybe because they know it sucks.

    Considering they can look at what killer is in play and adjust accordingly for mmr (which is why you can't change killers in a lobby like you can change survivors), I would love for them to be able to have the map generation also depending on the killer. M1 kill with no mobility? Less safe pallets. High mobility killer? More safe pallets.

    What maps are you guys playing on that don't have 5 loops connected to shack? I'm being serious.

    I keep hearing about all of the unsafe pallets but I never see them. 🗺️ 🤔

    For reference I've played Gas Heaven, Ormond Resort, Crotus Prenn Asylum, Coal Tower, & Hawkins.

    Not once did I drop a pallet without another resource being immediately available.
