currently this perk is kind of lack luster as agains't good survivors knowing were their "general direction" is generally useless. also, there is no warning to scaring crows around the killers, just kind of stressing.

Also Also: the only perk that counters spies from the SHadows is calm spirit, but its so situational that no one uses it.

So anyway my idea is: Crows watching you/ Spying you down.

While Spies from de Shadows is active:

  • survivors who run within 8/12/16 a crow have their aura revealed
  • survivor within 8/12/16 meters of a crow receive an non directional crow sound that's slightly louder than normal and gets their aura revealed after 12 second, unless the correct crow is scared away.
  • Killer can't hear the crows flying aways nor can see them.

Red eyed crows can be scared by calm spirit.

    It's a nice idea, but if the change the cooldown from 5 seconds to 1 sec, it would make the perk useful, but this could be a new perk like "eyes from the shadows" (I'm not good with names).

    This could be a nice perk, but personally Spies From the Shadows was a GREAT perk after it's buff.

    Then the Dvs were like:

    No one: ...

    This confuses me. You say that Survivors within X meters of a crow get their auras shown, but then afterwards you say that Survivors within X meters of a crow get their aura revealed after 12 seconds unless they scare the crow away. Which is it?

    I like that but Spies from the Shadows needs a smaller cooldown, I think they only did so to make crow spam chill out.

    Let's make this simple: crows are your cameras. Within 16 meters of a crow? Aura revealed. Crows can't be scared away unless you complete a 5-second interaction to disable it for 20 seconds. Calm Spirit will now disable crows that you walk by. Hangman's Trick reduces timer to 5 seconds. Easy.
