so did the devs just forget/abandon Fog Vials in general?
we haven’t seen a single new balance change to them since they were gutted in 9.1.2 back at the start of August and now it seems the devs forgot about them because they aren’t even available to use in the new Chaos Shuffle🤣. at this point can we just remove them entirely and get a refund on bp? it clearly seems the devs don’t want anything to do with them and it’s just cluttering up all the survivors’ bloodweb.

lol completely forgot they said “we will revisit this addon in 2025” at the end of 2024, and now we are in 2026 with no signs of a rework upcoming.

Thats the best part about "the backburner" with this game, its where issues go to die. Or get a lazy attempt that doesn't work every few years.

Justice for fog vials!

I mean.. until the density of the fog effect is unified on all maps, in all lighting, its effectively a broken item that never should have even been introduced in the first place. It never should have made it past the first Q&A pass with that issue let alone gone live with it.

I thought y'all were joking for a bit but no they actually left out fog vial what the heck?

I'd have much rather preferred an item that lets me head on out of lockers (like a melee weapon) or something, but puts me in exhaustion and costs item charge or something.
Or an Item I can throw at the killer.
Fog vials feel like such a nothing burger, just let them be used as much as we want again or put them back to their old strength, not either or.1 -
No. They just don't care, as shown by every bone thrown to survivors in the last year being immediately ripped back within 2 weeks.

This is true. And everything which was planned at some point gets the silent treatment nowadays. Not even their generic and meaningless "We hear you" is coming from then when it comes to any Anti-Tunnel, Anti-Camp or Fog Vials.
@Topic:
As said above, they will ignore Fog Vials. They decided to give Survivors a new Item, people complained about it instead of waiting a bit until new toy syndrome is gone and the Devs did the usual kneejerk reaction and nerfed it into the ground by making the opacity meaningless. And then there was the double-nerf of giving them Charges. (While they also still have a Cooldown)
I would honestly really be annoyed if I would work at BHVR and would have been in charge on creating the Fog Vials. Imagine you spend weeks or even months of your time to code, implement and test a new Survivor Item just so it can be nerfed a week later and will not be used anymore. They really value the time of their employees I guess. (I mean, the people in charge still got paid, but wasting time, even if it is paid, is not really cool)
At this point, I would be happy if they just remove them and we have less Bloodweb-Clutter in the Survivor Bloodweb.

It feels like just about everything in the game has been abandoned or forgotten about

As a killer main I think fog vials are rubbish and the only time I don't hit the person who used it is when I stop to kick a nearly completed gen.
So even as killer I think they need looked at.
Good luck with that though.
