New Fast Vaults
Why were they changed? We tested them in the ptb and they were horrible. It became so inconsistent and even more frustrating. Please revert the fast vault changes. No one asked for them, and it makes fast vaults more about RNG than about timing. @Peanits @not_Queen. I know killer mains will downvote me because they benefit from these kind of nerfs, but this is not the kind of change that we needed at all.

Yes the vaulting changes are horrible.
There's no reason not to be able to vault at the side of the window as it just makes using windows not clunky and not being able to fast vault while touching the window is stupid. If I run at a window straight on why does it arbitrarily become a slow vault if I press space bar later rather than sooner.
The ability to press space bar as late as possible into the vault also increased survivor skill cap and this makes many window related mind games an auto win for the killer since they know you can't fast vault.

The vaults are broken now... It was said in the PTB, that is a public test build. It was complained about, still made it to the live game. If they're going to change many loops and make them shorter... why break windows? they are easy to mindgame, the killer should win if the survivor cant mindgame, the survivor should win if the killer cant. Please god i hope they revert it

The devs at this point are so out of touch I'm shocked

they changed it so that ppl focus more hidding and not been toxic looping etc

the way the devs are leaning with their beliefs of " balancing " the game, at some point they are going to remove sprinting from survivors at this rate.
I'm all for actual balance but god damn, every patch is cutting something from survivors while killers go unchanged or buffed. its hard not to see how biased and single track minded the devs are.

LOL. Im guessing your very new to the game

Vaults need to be consistent and reliable. You can't mess with one of the very few instances for a survivor's defense to gain distance that hard. It was in a good place before. Why.

if you want to be killed,vaulting is a good idea

What exactly did they change? I have seen people talking about it but whenever I play I don't seem to feel a difference. Can anyone explain?

If you're not an expert survivor vault mindgamer, then you probably won't notice the changes. Previously, a survivor could wait until the very last second to fast vault if the survivor had met all the conditions before arriving at a window. However, if a survivor runs at a window with the proper momentum and angle currently, the survivor is guaranteed a medium vault if the survivor waits until they are touching the window to see what the killer is going to do.

interesting statement considering they are litterally nerfing gostface a week after release

Find that hard to believe since every update they introduce more tracking and wall hack perks as well as increasing survivor pain and breathing volumes, along with adding new sounds like when they jump down from something. They want people to get into chases because that is interactive, then they up the difficulty for survivors all the time to make chases shorter.

survivors also have some perks that speed the gens to make even more problem with the gen rush also survivors have aura reading example alert prove thyself its powerful if you combine it with bond use it along and its insane survivors shouldnt be easy its 4vs1 it should be difficult for them so killers dont have any problems ppl will agree thats this game its still survivor side the sound should be that for the first place so that you think of how to be stealthy

Difficult against any killer player or just the good killer players? Cause I run solo and against the good ones it is already pretty difficult, the vault changes are not helping.
