Hello Victor cannot be kicked or interacted with (except than the Survivor inside the locker) while he is on the locker. It is also full 10 sec. lower than this, is a bug. Yes we counted the 3sec wake up of the killer when we decided on the 10 sec. It might feel as a conservative value but its a new feature and was not on…

Its never been intended, I can confirm. We found the problem during PTB. (when using the LEFT-RIGHT key). The live patch didn't fix the problem, the sensitivity settings were overriding the implemented penalty (so basically anyone using 100% sensitivity were pretty much playing the same way it was on the ptb). Since the…

Hello Use the mouse not the keys, you should go 90 no problem.

Those using the mouse would not see a difference, actually you should gain about 5 to 10 degrees more. Those affected by the change are players who where remapping their keys and using Left-Right instead of the normal A-D during the Oni attack.

The flick is gone, it was never intended in the first place.

Awesome thanks!

So that those using a controller and those on console have the same turn effect ration has those on PC using a mouse.

Hello just to clarify your issues They reduced his powermeter by at least 50%, map pressure is practical gone with that change. (-) We made no change to the power meter time. its still 45 sec. Increased the time it takes to destroy pallets with his power. (-) This was a bug, there was clearly no animation playing. I had…

Hello We have not altered his movement speed (and portals). Its exactly like it was in the ptb. Thanks!

Causes you to not be able to attack FOR 0.45sec. Just to make sure that false rumors do not spread again... Thank you!

Its coming, more info about that soon. These status effects were created during the Demogorgon creation, which is why he earned them first. Live updates will included new perk changes and killer powers in the loop. Its coming don't worry.

Hello Would like to clarify one aspect of the next killer, but game development is not just about making what you want, unfortunately. For reasons that I will not go into details, the navigating the upside down effect was not possible, so we decided to not use it. Its not because we didn't want to have it... Thank you!

A Stealth killer who goes into Undetectable does not give Oblivious to Survivors, there are two totally different effects. Oblivious is applied by certain instances, like touching the Demogorgon Portal, not by the killer being Undetectable. The killer doesnt know either if Survivors are actually affected by Oblivious. Hope…

I can confirm and appease your fear by saying that the Demogorgon power is very far away from Freddy 1.0.

Hello Great post, well though out. Thank you! Your comments are duly noted. The reason why the Obsession still hear the TR is to make her think that the killer is still on her and not cutting the chase. But the effect might not be working as well as we expected. Thank you!

Hello We have no plan at altering the current version of GhostFace. We will be monitoring his stats through out the next few weeks/months... The only way something would change is that if an exploit is found out. Enjoy GF! Happy killing! Thank you!

Hello With the buffer, the current timer at the moment its actually 1.8 sec. Thank you!

Just so you have the exact data, the increase of the detection on screen is a 4% on each side, for a total of 8%. Its very minimal. We didn't want to alter the timing of the current stalk system. But we felt that Survivors where having a hard time getting him out of his Night Shroud Power during a chase. Thank you!

Hello We believe it would be simply too easy for the killer and feel unfair on the survivors side. You would be looking at the incoming survivors simply to down them instantly. This is all based on what we have see from our playtest and on the PTB. Pig crouch, you move slower. Wraith you cannot attack. Bubba (thats…

We found it was too much originally (before release, including ptb), but Its an effect we could definitely explore again. Thanks for the feedback!

stealth killer(s)... Yes

We will be looking into the detection effect on the Perks. It indeed defeat the purpose of stealth killers. Thank you for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback We will be looking into the Perk problem for ALL stealth Killers as a whole. We will give more info about this in the near future.

Yes. Thank you! We definitely have QOL improvements on the list for her but nothing to alter her power balance. Her stats are not mirroring the comments some players are mentioning in this thread. Im just being transparent and telling you our current plan for her. Thats my last post on this subject, more info about killer…

Hello We are reluctant at the moment at modifying her. First we have other killers who are higher in the list for modification/balance needs. Second thing, our stats shows that she is top killer (4K) at rank one. It seems that once you've mastered her, she can be extremely effective. She definitely has a high skill curve.

Hello interesting read, thanks a lot. Please let me chime in on the Listening to Feedback part. My goal with the post is not to make an excuse but more explaining our though process. Our goal with the PBT is so that players can give us feedback on the upcoming content and also find bugs or exploits in the balance that our…

Hello That would be great indeed, but unfortunately that would take too much of our time (us, designers), not at the moment for sure. We are quite busy with new content and live updates.

I would say that I see a lot of coincidence but it's meant to happen since there are so many ideas that are posted. A few of them will end up being very similar to upcoming content. I mostly read this section to get inspired about perks and effect that players would like to see in the game. (and the reactions below; OP, it…

I do

Hello Deep wound, in concept, is to create pressure and waste Survivors time, not to down survivors, similar to Reverse Bear Trap. Thanks for the feedback.

Because getting the first hit is VERY easy, you would then just need to follow the survivor for 30 sec until they go down. We played that version for more than a week internally and it was absolutely terrible. Even Killer felt it was super cheap and unexciting. We also learned this from the Pig Reverse Bear trap. We also…

We will not remove the stun effect because the killer can cancel the Power at any time. We tried it during development and the cancel then M1 technique was used by some internally and we felt it was very unbalanced and very unfair. We are very careful at adding stun (cooldown, fatigue) effects on killers, we prefer to not…

Hello There are more changes coming in to balance OOO. We will announce them soon. We will also take into consideration the lockers effect when doing Freddys rework. (actually any killer's power, thus the existence of the new Killer Instinct effect on The Legion) Thank you!

I cannot answer these questions, sorry. For the Healing action category (which add Healing and Snap out of it), we will probably clarify this on a future stream.

Botany Knowledge will also be changed at some point to not affect Snap out of it.

Nurse Calling actually never worked with Freedys Sleepness, we just clarified that we do not want the Healing Actions term to be a part of the game, it was an obscure rule used on specific exceptions. Design wise it is definitely not a good practice. We are planning to clear up our texts perk to ensure that they properly…

This will allow us to tweak the base power of a killer much better, without fear of breaking his build when a players use a certain perk. The feeling of necessity to have specific perks on a character to make him viable is not something that we think is good for the overall balance, which is the reason why we are doing…

Actually, we see him more as a delayed insta down killer.

Hello I would like to make it clear that the Legion requires 4 hit to down a Deep wound Surviror. The first hit is the initial 30 sec, a subsequent hit removes 10 sec, for a total of 4 required hit. If you are experimenting a 5 hit chase, please let us know because it is definitely a bug. Thank you

Hello We have thought about this idea but it's been quickly discarded because being the last survivor in the game means you have no way to fix your Status Effect. Thank you for the suggestion.

That will come later, we have a few ideas but we are unsure about the right one, we will be reflecting on those once the live update comes out. He might not need an extra effect once the currently planned changes are in.

Hello Our reasoning is because it's very much too easy to get a hit with the Legion power, compare to the Nurse. NOED with his power is simply the end of the game and felt very unfair.

Hello We have no plan to alter his base movement speed, not at the moment at least. His Frenzy is basically a free hit, him being at normal killer speed was very problematic during development and very unbalanced. There are a few tweaks coming on him for the live update. These will be announced soon by NotQueen. Stay…

I cannot talk much about Freddy, but we definitely plan to revisit his design. These will obviously be taken into consideration, we will make sure that all perks work properly on him.

Hello Good question. This will not happen, for obvious reason. We think that Perks should mostly affect your M1 mode as a killer and not buff your power (to a certain extend at least); add-ons are what we use for that purpose. We will be updating Bamboozle text on a future patch to avoid confusion, thanks!.

Hello I will not enter into an in deep discussion on this thread but I would like to say that saying Perks do NOT Work on the legion is an overstatement as we make sure that all perks work accordingly on all Killers. Some might not be as effective simply because the killer is beneficiating from a better effect from his…

Hello Thank you very much for the feedback. Very appreciated, especially the nonsarcastic or positive tone. Although I can confirm that everything that you mentioned was tested out. Most of the ideas were actually how he was initially. We made him the way he is to give a chance to survivors to escape. He was simply…

Hello That is correct. I just wanted to confirm our intention. It is very easy to get a hit with him but harder to down survivor. At first, the balance is in the favor of the killer then it is put back in the hand of the Survivor. We will probably talk more about the design intention on a future stream. Thank you!

Hello They should yes, Borrow time now applies Deep Wound.

Hello No, Mend is not Healing, it is a different action. Use the Killer's addons to affect the Mend time. They still have to heal after completing the Mend action so Sloppy Butcher is not useless.
