My Wishlist Patch Notes

A list of changes I'd like to see. Don't read too much into the numbers other than whether they're big or small.

The idea behind many of these ideas is to adjust where certain killers are specifically too good at slugging (instead of basekit antislug) or frankly just annoying. Oni and SM are general comments from having played them a lot.

The perk changes are either neat little buff ideas, or nerfing perks to make them healthier (like Pain Res).

I have missed a lot of things I'd love to see nerfed, especially on survivor, like Deliverance, Resurgence, Vigil but I don't have ideas and this post is already long enough.

Killer Changes

General

• 25% bloodpoint bonus for each fresh hook (like old BBQ without forcing people to bring a perk)

Singularity

• Survivors lose Slipstreamed when downed
• You can cancel a fully charged EMP (cf. Huntress putting away her hatchet)

Nurse

• No auras while charging blink
• Reduced walking speed
• Slight buff to charge recovery (to encourage actually using power)

Billy

• Chainsaw downing a survivor disables overdrive for a short duration.
• Hooking a survivor removes this cooldown.

Michael

• Downs consume some power
• Special pallet breaks have a slightly longer cooldown and/or consume some power duration.

Pig

• Trap searches now have progress checkpoints

Wesker

• Infection progresses at half rate while in chase.

Oni

• Revert flicks and give Console support for KBM or make inputs different for controller
• tl;dr Most oni addons suck - merge duplicate pairs of bad addons and rework the lower tier
• Rework Polished Maedate, Blackened Toenail, Rotting Rope
• Buff Shattered Wakizashi, Bloody Sash, Child's Wooden Sword to also include the amount of the reworked addons above
• Rework Chipped Saihai
• Rework Paper Lantern and add its old effect to the buffed Rotting Rope
• Buff or rework Tear Soaked Tenugui (this addon is outclassed by even blue duration)

Skull Merchant - tbh I just want SM 2.0 back.

• Recalling a hacked Drone no longer provides undetectable.
• Stealth Drones are back.
• Stealth Drones beep intermittently (cf. Xeno turrets at long distance)
• Rotating stealth drones has a 5 second cooldown.
• Hacked drones indicate more obviously that they're about to rearm, with a visual and audio cue/countdown.
• Two scan lines with a slower rotation speed.
• Adriana is no longer silent.

Survivor Changes

• All survivors share the same match result (win or lose) - 3 or 4 escape = all win, 0 or 1 escape = all lose. This discourages letting team die and ratting for hatch.
• All survivors gain bonus BP equal to a certain % of the BPs earned by their teammates (33%?).
• Killer grasp rescues are now a Conspicuous action (e.g. would disable DS)
• Basekit BT is 10 seconds.

Killer Perks

• Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance - Deactivates when a survivor dies.
• No Way Out - No longer gains stacks after a survivor dies.
• Hex: Thrill of the Hunt - decrease the slow by 1%
• Infectious Fright - 20 second cooldown.
• Game Afoot - hooking the obsession resets the accumulated chase time for that survivor, to allow it to more quickly switch to someone else. (Discourages tunneling the same obsession all game)
• Dying Light - Total Rework - for every token, all survivors have a 3% gen repair slowdown. Gain a token for hooking someone not hooked previously. Hooking someone twice in a row loses you two tokens. No longer gain tokens when a survivor dies.
• Surveillance - also applies a moderate repair speed penalty on generators in the regressing state (when the fizzling 5% line is visible)
• Awakened Awareness - 2 second linger on aura reading (like in Wesker PTB)

Survivor Perks

Perk Buffs/Reworks

• Repressed Alliance - perk user can choose to end the effect early
• Rookie Spirit - touching a regressing gen also gives you a large repair speed boost for a very short duration (e.g. 50% for 2 secs). 20 second cooldown.
• Boon: Illumination - now shows the progress of gens.
• Solidarity - healing progress no longer regresses due to hemorrhage
• Reactive Healing - healing progress no longer regresses due to hemorrhage
• Better Together - no longer shows gen aura. Now shows your aura and anyone else working on gen with you.
• Open Handed or a new perk - Share your aura reading with all survivors within a short distance of you (8m)
• Desperate Measures - Reduce healing speed in general, but increase healing speed for downed, hooked and dead survivors (more of an anti slug/tunnel without being too strong in general).
• Off the Record - slightly longer duration (60 secs?) but deactivates when full health

Perk Nerfs

• We're Gonna Live Forever - Revert to old activation with protection hit/unhook with zero cooldown.
• We'll Make It - 45 second duration.
• Plot Twist - no longer increases recovery speed
• Decisive Strike - Stun duration scales with number of remaining gens. Longest stun at 5 gens left.
  • OR Disabled when full health
  • OR Cannot activate if someone else is hooked
• Sprint Burst - shorter duration, less haste or longer exhaustion, please anything..

Customisation Options

• Hook screams now have a toggle/volume slider

Audio Accessibility

• Visual indicators for all global audio cues e.g. Oni starting and stopping power, Plague grabbing power, Michael tiering up, Billy overdrive, Twins releasing Victor etc
