They Broke The Game For Survivors

I think they seriously screwed up the game for survivors with this last patch. Killers now have the advantage, they can pretty much see exactly where you are now and with the nerf to sprint burst there is no getting away. Your gonna get hooked and if you have one crappy player or DC then you lost guaranteed. So now the toxicity is going to go up and Im already seeing more hacking and tunneling, camping killers. Very annoying update, this is the only developer that actually can break something that is already broken. SMH they should be embarrassed.

    This is a fantastic patch.

    We just need a DS rework, and hatch close and it is quite close to being balanced finally.

    Survivors have held the cards for well over a year. Times are changing. Adapt. Killers have had to adapt and play stressed at times.

    This isn't a do whatever the hell you want game anymore.

    Stealth.

    Yeah stealth when the killer now gets to see where you are even more yeah that's a laughable one considering survivors have been told to stealth before. The killers whined about stealth and got bbq and whispers and now do a gen well the killer sees everyone auras for several seconds. The old hide behind the gen aura doesn't work anymore.

    I prefer a stealthy style instead of the pallet looping well now that the auras are more visible guess what killers are going to get pallet looped and window looped into oblivion now. Te majority of survivors that don't do it are going to resort to it now. I for one like the sb nerf since it forces a more stealthy style of play.

    The aura changes just take away the stealthier play style even more. I might just start gong for the endless loop and pallet slam bit just to teach a lesson that be careful what you ask for. While I support buffing killers screwing over those who don't abuse game mechanics is stupid.

    The gen completion bubble makes it impossible to see the Auras from Bitter murmurs. All you need to do is literally stay there for 5 seconds, or mindgame the same way as bbq (head 1 direction, double back, etc).

    It also doesn't show *all* survivor auras, just those within however many meters from the gen completed. Also survivors literally got the same damn thing (dark sense -see the killer whenever you finish a gen, I don't hear killers crying over that...)

    Great news if you like Stealth, now calm spirit hard counters Doctors base kit (since he is the most anti stealth killer), and goes great in stealth builds in general now. 
    I really wish people played enough after a patch to learn how to work with changes. It's honestly not that bad. Stealth can still be done, just need to adapt a bit with some perk changes in play.

    Apparently the aura bubble isn't blocking the killer form seeing survivors when the killer uses the perk. I've seen killer use BM before in place of Ruin so more will use it now. I don't use dark sense and would be fine if they removed it. I've seen killers not use either Ruin or Noed and sometimes not even BBQ depending on killer and map.

    Also the Calm Spirit is either bugged or the tooltip is off according to posts already out there on it. I'm going to run some tests on kyf later to see what's happening. As far as SB goes it's fine and long overdue, not sure about the other exhaustion nerfs since i don't ever really use any of those.

    How in the hell do you even relate those two?

    @Jeeperrs said:

    Like they should, being the side with less people.

    @Jeeperrs said:

    Like they said, you can't keep hiding forever, the devs do not want this.

    @Jeeperrs said:

    If you could never get away without Sprint Burst, and i mean truly away, like losing them and not prolonging the chase, then you need to git gud.

    @Jeeperrs said:
    Your gonna get hooked

    Part of the game. It's also part of the game for Survivors to escape, yet no Survivor has ever complained about that.

    @Jeeperrs said:
    and if you have one crappy player or DC then you lost guaranteed.

    Though you're not guaranteed to lose (hatch escapes often give me chills as to how tense i get, i love it), but i can agree someone disconnecting is frustrating and can lead to hard mode.

    @Jeeperrs said:

    And all Killers had loopers and teabaggers 24/7. They're no saints, but the other they aren't saints either. It's just a game, ignore their taunts.

    Not even gonna address the last part, it's too silly to take seriously.

    Huh too bad "stealth" doesn't exist in this game because of bad map design and silly big player models with claudette being the only stealthy character.
    The same applies to the way survivors shake off the killer out of a chase and the same goes for why survivors loop the killer instead of trying to get out of the chase. The answer is that you can't, because of the same reason. Map design. (and a mechanic called bloodlust, which only rewards poor killer skills in order to get an easy kill)
    A lot of issues would be already fixed if the devs would have cared enough for the feedback they so much "desire".
    Atleast playing killer is getting less and less stressful than before but I don't see any reason to discredit another person's arguments only because you main killer. (This isn't reddit after all, the whiney killer main domain)

    This guy genuinely think that the killer having the advantage is a bad thing.

    Are you ######### kidding me?? Killers are SUPPOSED to have the advantage! You're supposed to feel vulnerable. You should feel like there's not much chance. Who do you think should have the advantage, the victims???

    Welcome to the game SURVIVORS asked for.

    ”Hiding and just doing Gens is boring. We want to be chased all game, that’s what’s fun!” ~ Nearly every single Survivor Main on Reddit and Steam forums for the last year and a half. 

    SURVIVORS perpetuated this lie over and over for nearly two damn years. This lie was used to protect Looping after infinite’s were taken away. Now, here we are. Survivors are getting what they asked for. No Stealth, less camping, less tunneling, less “boring” gameplay. The developers are rebalancing the WHOLE DAMN GAME to center it around Looping, because Survivors ASKED FOR IT. 

    Killers warned Survivors this was going to happen if they didn’t just drop the bullshit of Looping, and learned to hide and juke properly. Now, here we are. Congratulations Survivors, you really screwed the “hide and seek, Hunter vs. Prey” of this game. Now we play a giant game of “Tag! You’re It!” No thinking required, no skill, nothing. FOR BOH SIDES. Now it’s just a giant game of who’s better at abusing game mechanics than the other. 

    So so welcome to the game YOU created Survivors.

    ”You can run, but you can’t hide #########.” ######### enjoy what you’ve done. I know I won’t. As both Killer and Survivor.

    Can we stop saying "Nerf to sprint burst", is was a "nerf" to all exhaustion perks, not just SB. I don't understand where this idea comes from.

    The patch is fine, I have not had more or less success since the patch started, take a month to adapt before complaining.

    I haven't played the update yet but it's looking good for the health and longevity of the game. Killers have less pressure and survivors won't be able to rely on crutch perks as much. Except well DS. The exhaustion nerf is fine imo. I've never needed exhaustion perks to keep a chase going and I've always had plenty of chances to stop running, which means I'll get Lithe back eventually.

    Maybe it's too late but they're finally going in the right direction.

    Ugh, I'm completely against the hatch closing macanic. Yes, I'm a survivor main, but I also play a lot of killer and still think the same way. No one ever brings keys, and a good killer will keep that last survivor from doing that one generation anyway. So if a survivor is the last one alive, they're screwed no matter which way you put it. The hatch was at least a last chance resort. Closing the hatch is just taking that away.

    Dude I like you and think you’re cool. We’re pals. I don’t think you can blame this on survivors though. Seeing as everything that got nerfed on survivors was being called for by killers or people who play both with hella hours. 
    everything survivor nerfed is crawling all over killer forum asking for nerfs
     Here on the official forum
    Running perks(Bc loops)-killer forum
    bnp-gen rushing - killer forum
    faster pickups Bc flashlights- killer forum
    Self care Bc all the healing - killer forum
    Stealth should be more viable- killer forum maybe some survivors but mostly killers posting in survivors 
    gen rushinf(all the new perks that show survivors around generators or let killers know when one is close to completion- killer forum


    survivors did not ask for this.
    anytime a survivor said they didn’t like the survivor changes they were bashed and told to git gud by killers.

    im not crying this is just off observation alone. You can check around Bc it’s there. The devs gave killers exactly what they wanted. 

    Dont push this on survivors

    No, they're just starting to fix the game for Killers. You just need to adapt.

    I've been noticing the amount of threads from salty Survivor mains who refuse to adapt saying that 2.1.0 is trash. It's making me think that maybe this is why BHVR hasn't nerfed DS yet. They foresaw the mountains of salt that will rise once the Survivors realize that their second crutch perk is gone and that they really have to adapt.

    I've played for several hours tonight and survived the majority of the matches I played. Even though I saw a plethora of Hags and Trappers trying out their new buffs with the buffed perks, didn't help them in any significant way.

    @SovererignKing Thank you. Finally, someone else who understands that, yes, Survivors are to blame. Someone else who remembers the game's history. Someone else who understands that the two sides are not equally to blame.
