Survivors are abusing a bugged perk.

They probably have logging code in place already to get statistics. That is difference from a hotfix.

are you joking. this isnt even of a closer comparison how detrimental this bug is ending the game before the killer can do anything and it affecting almost every action. all tinkerer did was permanently remove terror radius .... and most people wont of even had tinkerer 2. im sure every iteration of the perk wake up affects the actions gens etc. idk i dont use wake up. but it ruins the experience from what ive read

You mean ending the game 15% faster than normal. Which is already possibly "a few minutes" for a bad killer/ toolbox crew.

I never said it’s legit. I said they can’t afford to ban 1 in 4 people playing the game. The unfortunate state of reality is that too many people seem to be using it atm.

So Wake Up is making all actions 15% faster?

Jesus.

What if you were using before (like me) and used it for a few games when it was broken (like me) I didnt even know that i was doing things quicker. And still i'll get banned

@Nick Legion players said the same thing about the bugged add-ons a while back. Guess what happened to them.

They had to go outside.

Tempting as it is, I won't use Wake Up until they fix it.

What's worse is, I don't get why they would go through making it possible to record who's using what perks without making a way to disable them. Especially since we know for a fact that they're capable of disabling offerings.

Devs will either enforce it by banning people abusing it or cave in like every time until now and drop in their credibility.

I still remember Asylum unaccessible spot which was exploited every game and people didn't get banned for it.

They shouldn't ban people for potentially using a perk they didn't even know was bugged. I use that perk sometimes just for fun, and I myself actually used it recently before I realized it affected all actions.

Plus what if people who don't check the forums etc. use that perk? Even if they announced to not use it or you'll get banned then those people would get banned for no apparent reason because they didn't know about it.

It's the devs fault it's bugged anyways, instead of punishing people for their mistake they should just focus on fixing it

It would be nice to get official notice of which perks are screwed up right now. Some people say Thanataphobia is making skill checks disappear. Wake Up is obviously bugged. You really shouldn't ban by it being in the loadout. I have seen it used in real games. Although, people swapping normal builds for it would be sign of knowing exploitation.

@Visionmaker What you call imaginary rules are centuries-old principles of civilization, applied to matters far more serious than the abuse of a bug in a videogame, for example criminal law. Punishment follows a knowingly illicit behavior, otherwise it is arbitrary harassment.

If a survivor, by hypothesis, lowered three pallets in sequence, vaulted two particular windows, cleansed a given totem in a given map and unlocked the hatch to finally jump in, and this happened repeatedly, it would be clear to all his bad faith: the combination of actions is not accidental, and the result, clearly eccentric in regard to the normal game mechanics (pallets, jumps and totems do NOT open the hatch), makes evident the presence of a bug, whose exploitation is therefore deliberate and contrary to the Terms of Service.

But do you want to argue that equipping a perk is an illegal action? Each player is free to use, as he sees fit, everything he gets from Bloodweb or from the Shrine of Secrets, so we are in the presence of a physiological, common, unquestionable action. I repeat, the player is not required to study the debates of the forum, he is not required to time the repair times of a gen and to notice the savings of X seconds, he is not required to approach the game as one approaches a professional competition: he paid a license to have fun, not to review the programming and detect the flaws.

If the product is defective, the main responsibility of remedying it is of the producer: the consumer is not the expert responsible for quality control, it is his full right to play even superficially, without asking too many questions about the interactions between certain perks, add-ons or cosmetics or other.

You maybe play competitive and spend hours on the forum: admirable, but not mandatory. Your claim that everyone is necessarily aware of the failure of the perk is arbitrary, even more so for those who play in the non-English language, given the translation errors that sometimes distort the meaning of the caption. This in terms of reasonableness.

In terms of mere convenience, it would be self-defeating to punish the players for a development error: they would feel abused, used as scapegoats to hide the developers' wrongs, and would abandon the game en masse.

Unlike some users in here, who also vulgarly insult the developers (I read really disgusting comments during the test of the first Ghostface), I hold the highest respect for them and I'm adoring the growing fluidity of the gaming experience, aware of their great efforts to make the program better, richer and more enjoyable. Precisely in this spirit of affectionate esteem, I do not blame them if a bug has escaped the controls or if there is no system to disable a defective perk: I only say that writing an explicit announcement about the prohibition of using a certain perk, because bugged, it does not cost anything, prevents many players from being punished without any fault and maintains a relationship of transparency, loyalty and mutual trust between players and developers. Your idea of ​​punishing everyone, punishing immediately, punishing without warning, seems to be the daughter of a blind rage, which demands a sort of implacable revenge.
