The game could theoretically be perfectly balanced when it comes to mechanics, and it could be be balanced in that both roles "can be fun". But that doesn't mean that it's actually fun. If neither roles were fun to play at all, they'd technically be balanced in that regard lol. Personally I think the issue is that the…

I don't think the devs should even bother reintroducing the system unless they plan on introducing a visible MMR Rating, and they rework or remove rank. Players will never be satisfied as long as those rank numbers still exist, and there is no other visible metric noting that they're actually getting a fair match. Losing…

I'd prefer they just make interesting characters instead of just checking boxes on a list. Or maybe the could focus on the important stuff like fixing the game. That seems a bit more pressing. Plus, BHVR has already (and continues to) diversify the cast, so... it just seems like a weird request.

Every bullet point was either: Making illogical comparisons; pointing out the obvious whilst pretending the point you made was actually a negative somehow; or complaining that you have to expend effort. I don't really think I need anyone needs a new argument... You might hope those perks are never activated, but they will…

I mean that's fine and all, but I'm strictly talking about Legion's base kit, no addons. The fact you essentially have to run specific addons with Legion to be viable at all (imo at least) isn't a good thing. I have the same problem with other killers too, but it's much more noticeable with legion. Addons should be... well…

Someone is salty they had to do bones. I love it.

He was bitching and moaning about it even before it released. "Valid feedback" lol.

Yeah, but there's no real way to trade that stall power for lethality in return. It's not like you're trying to balance things, you're just gimped from the start. Hell, if you even just M1 you lose your power gauge, and if you miss your attack? Blinded and stunned for like 3 seconds or something? It's a bit of a joke.…

Fair enough, and thanks for the response.

For the most part I have no issue with the hatch. But it is really annoying when you're up against a 4man and you're working on your 3rd kill, and that person just dies on hook to let the other person get hatch. Stuff like that is frustrating, but I don't really know how you'd even fix it, so I try to not let it bother me.…

My apologies, I don't think I was clear in my response and that lead to confusion. Let me clarify... When I said "you" I didn't mean you specifically as an individual, but mods/devs in general. Because I know other mods/devs most certainly responded with copypasted responses to the aura issue. Again, i'm mostly neutral on…

But isn't that exactly how you handled auras before they were fixed? Just copypasted a "soonTM" message? Not even trying to imply anything here, but that seems kinda contradictory.

I haven't noticed a change in matchmaking wait times at all. Regardless, without some quantifiable indication that matchmaking has been implemented? I can't blame people for doubting it even exists.

I mean what would be the difference though? Auras are supposed to be clear and visible lol. I can't imagine how hot pink would be any more visible to someone with normal vision compared to red, or yellow, or any other color. But even if it was, would it be that game changing? Everyone would have access to the same tools.…

The fact I can't even tell that says a bit about their choice of coloring system doesn't it? Yeah, I don't really understand that argument. If everyone has access to the ability to recolor auras/scratches, then it can't really give anyone an "unfair advantage" can it? All it can do is give people who are already at a…

It's better than it was, but it's not... perfect? I'm colorblind so it's really just the usage of red and green that makes things difficult. Like the brightness is better now, so I can actually see the auras now and play the game again, but I still have a hard time telling the red and green auras apart (and I can't see…

I don't think there is a matchmaking system. Nothing has changed, and I don't expect it to change as I play more matches. Show me my rating, and get rid of ranks, and maybe I'll change my opinion.

So what is the point of maintaining rank? Because from my perspective, all it is doing is causing confusion and angering players who can't separate rank from MMR rating. It's a net negative and imo needs to be removed until you reintroduce your "new ranking system" along with ratings.

I mean you're spot on. I think that's exactly what's happening. Seems like the system is testing players with no matchmaking data. And in a game with a "quick match" / "unranked" option, this wouldn't really matter. They could just go play QP with their more randomized match making and have a fun game. Instead, they're…

How exactly would allowing players to change the colors result in an unfair advantage? If literally everyone has access, then it's not exactly unfair is it? Auras aren't supposed to be hard to see, and if you're having trouble seeing them? Then colorblind or not, I see no issue with allowing you to change the color to make…

If they actually have a working, decent MMR system? Yeah basically. Once the majority of the players in the system go through their qualifying matches, things will tend to fall into place a lot better. I know it sucks for the moment (new seasons always suck at the start), but if the system works, things will improve slowly…

I'm not trying to sound pithy, but have you played other ranked games? You might've played all your qualifying matches, but the people you're up against might not have... I mean I've played lots of early season games of ranked games (like Overwatch, etc.) where despite playing my qualifying games and getting plopped into…

Right, but if even a portion of the red rank playerbase aren't actually as skilled as their rank indicates, it renders the entire ranking system meaningless. Skill based ranking/ratings have to mean something. They have to be reflective of the skill level of player holding that rank. And right now, with the system we…

If your entire basis for "red rank = skilled" ultimately amounts to "playtime = experience = skill" then we simply disagree at a fundamental level. I know people who have played games for thousands of hours but despite all that time and investment, they wouldn't hold a candle to competitive players. They simply approach…

I had to quit as well. Being physically incapable of seeing auras just makes every match frustrating and unfun for everyone involved. I'll just be playing other games until they fix it... whenever that is...

Rank is utterly meaningless and is only really indicative of playtime. A player might be highly skilled, but literally incapable of playing constantly. They'd end up being lower rank, limited by their own playtime simply because they cannot ever pip enough to get to red rank. Another player (especially on Survivor side)…

Ghostface's tells a lot about his character. It's such a demented animation, capturing a really messed up bit about killers and trophies. It's awful (in a good way, I guess lol) and I love it.

I've felt like a paranoid conspiracy theorist for saying this, but... I've been saying that unless there are actual MMR Ratings displayed, we would never know if BHVR actually "updates" the game with a functioning MMR system or not. Especially considering the fact that they're sticking by rank for some reason despite the…

You, and literally everyone else, forever. You're pretending this is something new lol. It isn't, by a long-shot. I mean, does that mean that MMR was active last month when I consistently was matched against red rank survivors despite being a rank 20 killer? Or should we go even further back? lol. The reality is that…

Precisely because it isn't using MMR? ie. it's totally random matchmaking lol. This kind of stuff is the exact reason I stated they need to be transparent about how the MMR system ranks players, with clear ratings. Because active or not, as long as there is no MMR rating, but "ranks" exist there is literally 0 way for…

I just think that DS should turn off if you start working on a gen or totem. Clearly you aren't being tunneled at that point, so... But I generally agree.

I'm well aware. But that doesn't really excuse the lack of QA, the lack of accessibility options, and the general lack of consideration. It took them days to even acknowledge it, and when they did, all they can say is "we're working on it". I suppose that's better than "they're working as intended" but it's not much…

Honestly? Yeah... I just keep my chat closed unless I feel like the people I played are going to be courteous. I know it sounds a bit silly, but I can usually determine how people will react in post-game by their behavior in game. This method hasn't failed me yet, so most of my interactions are positive or at the very…

Lol they're anything but fine. They seem to be an issue for literally all sides, and they're impossible to play with if you're colorblind. Even if you think "oh these aren't so bad", or "I like the style better now!", have some consideration for the rest of us. Some of us can't even play the game anymore because of these…

I mean, I'm fine with everyone boycotting the game, but that's because I'm colorblind, can't see auras now, and BHVR doesn't give a damn. I can't really get behind this "muh unbeatble killaz" stuff, but uhhhh sure, you do you.

If they implement survivor bots, it'd only be natural that they do the same for killers. But yeah, losing offerings hurt, but the loss of time is more impactful I think.

I'm not trying to pry too much, but can I ask if you're playing on wi-fi? I know it's an odd question, but... well I experienced some similar issues (disconnects and such) on wi-fi, despite other games/programs/etc. functioning normally (which confused me for the longest time).

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but don't you think this should be pinned somewhere, or announced? People are clearly upset about this, and we shouldn't have to dig through threads or pester mods to hear about basic responses like this. It's kind of bewildering tbh.

The game is still competitive in nature. That doesn't mean people can't play it casually, but when ranked mode is the base play mode (regardless of whether or not matchmaking is broken), it's pretty clear that the devs intend for competition to take the forefront. Hence why I've advocated for a "quickplay" or "unranked"…

As a colorblind player, I literally cannot see the red auras. Usu play killer. Of course I hate it. The game is unplayable now.

This has made the game unplayable for colorblind people. I mean, it's so bad that even normal-sighted players are having difficulty seeing auras. This needs to be dealt with ASAP. I can't even imagine how the devs thought this was a good idea. The least they can do is fix it quickly.

Link? Because I haven't seen them say anything about it yet. Considering the effect it's having on colorblind players (the game is literally unplayable now) I'd really appreciate seeing their response. Thanks.

Yeah it's basically impossible for anyone with deuteranopia to see auras now. Hell, I mean even people who aren't colorblind are complaining that it's difficult. So you aren't alone here. It's a genuine problem.

No.

It 100% is competitive lol. But still, no. If changes need to be made to balance hatches, so be it. But they don't need to be removed entirely...

I was joking, but I think your idea is winning me over.

This is scarily accurate ime. But it could be improved by using a quadrant chart ranking skill/toxicity instead lol. That would be perfect.

Welp. That's a request I guess. I wonder what's next? "Can the bots automate slurs in the post-game lobby too? For realism!" lol

I was under the impression that the patch was Tuesday, and Rift was Wednesday. But I don't know 100%.

How is the free mobile version the superior version of this game? Lol I want my money back
