Been addicted to VHS streams and videos since I saw the trailer a couple months back. Gameplay is super exciting and you’re never doing nothing for too long since crafting a weapon takes at most half the time of a generator. I don’t even see myself returning to DbD after I get my hands on VHS. It’s just a much better…

It seems we’re just not going to agree with each other. Let’s just see how VHS does. I’m betting it will do well and become a huge success ~1-2 years down the line. If it fails, then I guess you were right.

There was an screenshot they shared of VHS in an unfinished state and it was just a hallway filled with blood and gore. It’s buried in one of their QnA streams. They obviously didn’t go with that in their final design for the reasons you stated, but they did dial it back on the blood/gore. If you search up Techsmith314 in…

You’re forgetting the fact that the horror elements are a massive barrier to entry for many would be asymmetrical fans. Also everyone I know only plays DbD because it’s got the best mechanics and support than any other asym game, and not because of the horror elements. The horror appeal goes away 3 hours in.

Simply wrong, VHS intentionally dialed back on the horror elements to make it more accessible to a broader audience. It's the same thing Fortnite did.

Oh boy the amount of people immediately disregarding VHS because of its art style or the fact that you have to confront the monster is astonishing. I think many people on these forums are heavily underestimating VHS’s potential. I don’t think VHS will immediately rival DBD’s numbers, but give it a year and I bet they’ll…

Power is VHS shifts throughout the match. Sometimes the monster will be dominating the Teens, and then the next moment Teens have the upper hand. VHS is not a bully simulator. The Monster has abilities to disrupt and harass Teens, and there are multiple systems in place to make sure bullying isn't possible unless you're…

So it's basically the situation where you're right behind a survivor waiting for the DH, but 3 times over. That doesn't sound fun imo. It would be fairer than Legion from 3 years ago, but probably would be just as unfun. I'd rather they just buff FF speed and nerf fatigue. The power is perfect and doesn't need any extra…

She doesn't get any more reverse bear traps unless she brings an add-on that gives her another one. It would be insane if she still had 4 traps with videotape.

The characters are probably very popular.

Yes, as someone who has played a lot of Legion, they are incredibly underwhelming. The main issues with Legion are the 4-second fatigue and the 5.2 m/s frenzy speed. Getting outran by a freaking survivor perk is soooo embarrassing for what is supposed to be a "high-speed killer".

Same here, I haven’t been able to take off Blood Favor since the update. I’m having so much fun with all the buffed hex perks.

They’ve been doing both though.

No, but blessing a hex totem takes much longer to account for the time it would've taken to cleanse it.

None of the killers need reworks. When you rework a killer you abandon their current player base, and we don’t need another Freddy scenario.

I see what your trying to accomplish here and I don’t like it. IMO, this just weakens part of the kit that I enjoy and buffs the part that I dislike. This would cause scenarios where you just go down 100% of the time against legion in certain scenarios and I don’t think that’s healthy for the game. Not at shack or a god…

I feel like your going to be waiting a while then. Devs have stated their okay with gen speeds atm and I have to agree with them.

Nope, that's been patched out. Happened a couple patches ago I think.

Blessing a hex totem takes longer so it basically would take the same amount of time to cleanse and then bless the totem. This is completely fair IMO, but instead of having the hex come back after being blessed I would rather they do something else. I suggest they allow killers to completely crush dull/blessed totems to…

Lol, it seems many people are justifying this playstyle by saying Legion is weak. That's a terrible mindset. Any true Legion mains out there would agree that Franks + Stab Wounds Study isn't healthy and needs to be changed.

Mclean said it on one of his twitch streams (he's a former DbD dev, quit recently). You can find his channel here.

I find it pretty neat with Fire Up + Brutal Strength + Enduring. It's terrible though. Fun fact, Big Buckle was supposed to be changed with this patch, but they didn't have enough time to go through with whatever change they wanted to make. So we're just stuck with this terrible TR reducing add-on for at least another…

Oh and while I'm here, can we take a moment to remember how old Freddy could be invisible while picking up a survivor? It was silly, but also very canonical and would always bring me into the atmosphere. Iirc Freddy in the films was able to throw around/pull people around in the real world while they were dreaming. I think…

Seeing all these old Freddy images makes me want to play the old version more and more :( Oh well, time to binge-watch a bunch of old Freddy vids on YT.

Tier 1 should be an add-on, maybe his “meme” add-on or something. Start at tier 2 naturally. Allow him to fully stalk to 100% then use tier 3 when he chooses to so he doesn’t have to hold stall at 99%.

Oh if it was that minor I wouldn’t really care. As long as Feral Frenzy is kept intact I would be happy.

I too want old Freddy 😔 It’s never going to happen though because they spent so much time reworking him, but I will support any attempts to return old Freddy.

Yes to unique chase music for legion. No to their power including the entire gang. Their current power is fine it just needs a few touch-ups. I wouldn’t mind having the entire gang hanging out around the map just chilling. Maybe cheering on the active member when they get a hit, but that’s as far as I would take it.

Yep, that’s the idea. Legion doesn’t need any more additional slowdown with his power. :) thank you! :)

Feral Frenzy should never have lethality because it has zero counterplay. I agree they should just rework Frank’s Mixtape.

Legion should have Cold Dirt and Joey’s Mixtape base kit. Sounds like a lot to have a purple and a green add-on base kit but it’s literally only 1 second off a 4 second fatigue.

fatigue for missing should be 4s imo, 3s when you cancel your power. So you have option to just cancel, or try to lunge to block. I thought about this, but honestly, I think it would just be unnecessary fluff to fatigue. It wouldn't really be a big deal if this were the case, but it doesn't really need to be there either.…

I dodge when my ping is above 100 or if everyone last-second swaps to something else with multiple medkits/toolboxes. That's pretty much it.

Same here. And when I finally get RPD many people just dodge or throw the match because they refuse the learn the layout.

I remember when exhaustion recovered while running. It wasn't pretty. Just because perks were worse back then doesn't mean they're still not a problem though. If that were the case, DS would still activate upon the first pickup, and Hex: NOED would be on a timer and not a hex.

Currently you can get a free top from for mikaela: A Charm: And A doctor skin that I dont have but here it is:

This would be nice.

Trying to find new ways to have fun in our 5 year long stale meta I have come up with a couple of builds: Status Effect Legion (obviously not good): Legion Pin + Defaced Smiley Pin Starstruck, Hysteria, Blood Echo, Fearmongerer Super Speed Legion (also obviously bad) Etched Ruler + Scratched Ruler PWYF, Nemesis, Fire Up,…

Ugh, I really should have clarified better. I want these perks nerfed so that other perks have a chance to shine.

I do. Problem is 99% of people I play with don't.

I just want to play against a different set of 4-5 perks. The current ones have been on the throne for too long.

They're all tools to help the survivor escape, aren't they? Dead Hard helps more in more scenarios than Alert or Bond. So these perks won't be used until something changes.

The issue is they beat out all other perks in the game. I don't struggle against them (aside from Dead Hard being used for distance), but I have a problem with them being constantly used because they are too strong compared to all other survivor perks. Doesn't matter how much skill they require. The meta will never change…

I have, and I'm tired of pretending for the past 5 years that they're okay.

Wow, I like many of these changes. Props for being creative with them too. If the twins had these add-ons I feel like I would play twins for fun even though I hate using their power.

Didnt they change the radius to 24 meters? Regardless, shadow step is too strong. I vote to remove the aura reading immunity from this perk.

2 perk slots for potentially 4 ruins + some aura reading.

I have no doubt they will rework these add-ons once the legion changes come around, but until then we’re stuck with this interesting little add-on combo. It is indeed very unhealthy for the game though.

I like these changes. Really all we need is increased speed and reduced fatigue and that is exactly what these changes are. Would like more add-ons that focus on opening up new builds and synergies, but if this is what we got for the legion update I’d think I would be happy.

Blessing a hex totem takes much longer to account for how long it would take to cleanse it.
