Hopefully. I figured maybe they would listen to a larger content creator since our voices aren't enough.

I mentioned it to Otz yesterday in his stream and he said he's already told the devs about it - we've also submitted reports with logs and video evidence so not sure what else we can do sadly. They seem reluctant to fix it for some reason.

I don't mind the lullaby as I think making her totally silent would be a bit unfair, however I would like to see them make it map wide like Dracula's in bat form - that way you won't know where she might appear from.

Right? Survivors can freely take a tape next to the gen they're working on without having to worry about condemn stacks (unless she chases you ofc). That's not even counting the fact they can turn off all your TVs while holding a tape too.

That doesn’t make much sense - if she was that easy to pick up and do well with then her pick rate would be higher but she’s currently the 8th least played killer in the game.

i’m not agreeing with super buffing her as she does need counterplay, however she also has a low pick rate (1.5%) so these numbers are inflated by players who probably main her and play her a lot, rather than the average player. She also does well against casual players who don’t understand her power or players who choose…

so there’s no mention of this bug being fixed in the latest patch notes for the ptb… do we think it will be for live release or left out again?

she’s strong against players (when played well) who completely ignore her ability but struggles greatly against experienced players, especially in chase which is why many sadako players won’t commit to long chases - this is why you will never see sadako played in a competitive environment. i’d say shes C tier at best.

i DO think carrying a tape should have a risk, such as a status effect (eg. exposed after a certain duration of holding it) and ring drawing base kit if hooked with one - they are cursed after all but at the moment they only provide benefits for survivors.

it can be useful on sadako as she doesn’t make any sound when manifested if she’s undetectable - you just need to teleport to a tv that’s not too far from the person that’s oblivious.

these are all good 👍🏼 i would like to see them up the lock-in stacks to 4 and i actually wouldn’t mind if she had a map wide lullaby (like dracula in bat form) if they’re gonna keep it - at least it keeps survivors guessing where she might appear. basekit reiko’s watch + old newspaper too (without the bugs😊)

I hope she gets some love too, it would be nice to see her going up a few tiers strength wise but I also have a feeling the devs aren’t really interested in her just now (which is also why i’m so keen for them to fix her demanifest bug in the meantime).

I’d like to see them keeping the QoL changes they a made to her last time around while helping her chase out - I think it would be cool if they allowed her to telepathically break pallets (like the anniversary offering) while making Reiko’s Watch & Old Newspaper basekit. I know we’ve often spoke about her being able to…

I feel like they just kinda gave up on her after her last update, despite there being lots of great suggestions and feedback to improve her from sadako players in the ptb feedback post. Also, the fact that her demanifest bug still exists since that ptb is pretty much confirmation of that.

They should have just left her alone until her rework was ready. People are just gonna DC/give up regardless of her playstyle because it's Skull Merchant.

They replied to someone on Reddit about it, saying “we just do not have any updates while it is under review with the team”. Doesn’t sound very promising that we’ll be getting a fix anytime soon.

the nowhere to hide bug right? they were quick with that one.

so true if they doubled the invisibility duration instead of halving it, it would have been patched the following week no doubt.

it’s giving freddy at launch knee-jerk reaction patch.

Soo are we all surprised that another bugfix patch was released today without a fix for Sadako?

Honestly wouldn't waste your time trying to make them understand - they have a bias for survivor which made me lose interest in their (long) point a while ago. We know what the deal is.

Me either, and let's face it - most players (from what I've seen) that only play Sadako casually don't use her demanifest in chase to take advantage of it.

You still need to manifest to attack, so it requires specific timing and attention on the killer's side to use it effectively to get a hit - unlike Spirit who can just M1 while passively phasing.

It's kinda disheartening to see all these things getting worked on when you have weaker killers like Sadako, who's demanifested invisiblity duration has been bugged for 10 months now with no ETA on a fix.

Thank you for helping us get it fixed🙏

Another video explaining + the timing:

Kinda outrageous this hasn't been patched yet.

I know, I was specifically looking for it in the patch notes too but alas, nothing. I wish they’d at least acknowledge it and let us know it’s being worked on, it’s the only thing she has in chase and it’s indefinitely bugged.

cm9i - the GOAT.

That's disappointing, they should have left the Ring Drawing add-on bug if that's the case (or at least make it her Iri tape since the current one is worthless.

Was this bug ever addressed? I love using Reiko's Watch but don't want to if it doesn't give the correct effect.

I get the impression that after the last few updates we got for Sadako that she's no longer a priority for them. They no doubt have a schedule to adhere to and can't really veer away from it unless there's a bug. There's a TON of feedback and suggestions for her on here that would make her better to play as and against…

Hi Peanits, can you confirm if Sadako is done for updates for now or are there more to come? Thanks.

me and my friends played against 2 onryo’s last night and we just ran around with tapes while she was in chase turning off her TVs and there was nothing she could do. her counterplay is wayyyy to easy with the tv auras visible and the 1 second tape animation.

She does feel nicer to play as and against after the last update so kudos to BHVR for trying, there’s still a few changes i’d suggest making : Her chase is still weak, especially on maps like Eyrie, Garden, The Game etc where you just have to eat pallets. I would love to see her phase through dropped pallets / breakable…

ok thanks.

is the patch due today? I'm sure they're normally on a Tuesday.

I've been playing her a lot since last week and it's just disappointing and sad to see what they've done to her. Survivors are so cocky and confident against her now because she basically poses zero threat - tapes get put away in your face, TVs all get turned off denying your power, everyone carries tapes because there's…

Well I admire your optimism! I would love them to prove us wrong but I'm doubtful. I guess I'll see you back here next week😆

Probably not - I think they just have this section so it looks like they're listening to their players but ultimately come up with their own internal decisions and ideas. I think this latest update is proof of that.

Well it technically does have a cooldown, as the TVs will take 20% longer to turn back on if survivors take a tape and as there's no risk of being condemned, there's no downsides to them taking tapes all game and denying your teleports. You are right in saying that you don't have to play for condemns but it's also a built…

i know what the add-on does, my point is for an IRI add-on you are taking away her strongest trait and that is to build condemn on survivors and add pressure to them throughout the duration of the game. I would say by removing this you are effectively removing her power and you might as well play any other teleportation…

Agree, at least her first version had Iridescent Tape - the current version is so bad and I can't believe they made it an iridescent add on that removes her entire power LOL.

I hope all the effort y’all are putting in giving this great feedback won’t go unnoticed, it was disregarded last time so I just don’t want people wasting their time again. I agree PTB Sadako didn’t feel particularly strong either, however it’s better than the dumpster fire we have right now so I guess we can compromise.…

I’m still astounded they pushed these changes live and were happy with them. It just makes me worried what else they’ll do with Sadako in these “follow up adjustments”.

Ironic that they actually said that.

Anyone know who owns Sadako’s license and if they have socials? it might be an idea to let them know how unhappy we are with BHVR butchering her, maybe some pressure from them would help actually get our points across since they clearly don’t listen to us.
