They didn't say that, they just said they probably won't do a big perk overhaul patch like they did last time. Instead will be sprinkled out in updates.

Because your blinding a zombie which is in line with what bhvr wants flashlights to do. Bhvr just wanted to streamline flashlights and get rid of the lightburn mechanic. Your not light burning a zombie.

It's been a day how have you've been going against seal team six swfs with COH already? This is why nobody takes these forums seriously.

Yes your the only one and for good reason.

Glad they acknowledged pain res but ignored self care.

Be prepared to uninstall then.

I don't understand why people don't get this. This midchapter nerfs a lot of things, including a lot of meta perks and didn't even give us any perk buffs to lessen the blow.

Not them nerfing self care again.

Don't worry, you'll be complaining about gens getting done in five seconds once everyone realizes gen progression and toolboxes went unchanged.

That's what I also realized. People are excited about the healing and gen regression nerfs thinking it will lead to a chase oriented meta but they left gen progression perks unchanged.

I can't really tell what you reworked from some of these perks and some of them seem like unnecessary nerfs? Except for dark theory, which is too big of a buff. Your version of cut loose just seems like something that dance with me should be instead.

Because incapacitated as a status effect is too strong to be on a perk an old eruption showed. It should be like hindered and killer instinct, relegated to add ons and killer powers only.

Right, they were so stubborn about not adding info for years until they realized they had to. 7 years later btw. It'll take them another 7 years for them to buff killer accordingly too (I'm mostly joking).

They need to fire whoever came up with "% of current X progress" as a way of nerfing crap. It was ok for boil over, but then they did it to pop and now eruption. Nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand please.

I want the midchapter perk balance patch to be more about them toning down some of the meta on both sides, and reverting some of the harsh nerfs of the meta shake up patch.

There are killers that are in greater need of a buff than knight.

Bhvr seems open to non horror settings but only for skin collabs, rather than chapters (aot Collab). Would be jumping the shark a bit if bhvr started doing non horror licenses, some people already thought they were pushing it with stranger things. I wouldn't mind terrifying/horror themed creatures from non horror media but…

Like someone else said I hope we receive another boon and scourge hook perk in the next chapter. No more boring gen perks please! But keep the aura reading perks coming.

They aren't going to revert anything, the devs decided this game needs to become more balanced and competitive so they're changing things accordingly. Solo q buffs came first now they're working on killer/perk rebalancing. If you can't handle this rough period while they fix things at a snails pace I suggest you stop…

It was pretty game breaking imo but I do find it funny how it got Killswitched quickly even while most of the devs were on vacation, but sloppy butcher is still happily in the game 5 days since the bug was found.

I'm not going to complain about Feng anymore but could they at least not just give the same five survivors cosmetics all the time? Like I get it, Feng is their cash cow so they must spam her with skins. But we absolutely do not need a meg skin every other patch, especially since they struggle with making her skins look…

See that's the problem people in this community has. When one side gets something people immediately go "but what about meee".

I would love if they did event specific game modes. People have been hoping for more game modes for the last 7 years this game has been a thing, but for bhvr it's a matter of splitting the queues that they're worried about. Honestly would people complain if the main game mode during a special event like Halloween or Winter…

What's funny is how they had a functioning mmr system in the beginning, but made it useless because people complained about long queues and sweaty matches. Like they might as well go back to old ranks. But they spent at least two years on an mmr system so they won't do it. Bhvr works under sunk cost fallacy. If they spend…

Dragons grip's cool down is too long.

I mean, it wasn't just killers. I think when the perk overhaul was announced, everyone went in having expectations (including me).

Maybe it made sense back in 2016 when this game still played like a stealth game, but 7 years later we're way past that. Modern asymm games allow voice chat/ping systems, so I guess it was time for bhvr keep up. Plus, people wanted this game to become balanced and are now complaining when bhvr attempts to balance things…

I heard it takes forever to genuinely drop your mmr once you hit the soft cap though.

Myers (Mikey is outdated would prefer a rework) , Trapper (it's 2023 and he still can't start with his traps?), Pig (I swear she needs a faster, less clunky m2 so she can have an actual chase power), are the main ones I want to see buffed. Twins I feel just need to be less clunky, that "bug" they had on the PTB should have…

Certain killers need a lot more than shadowborn basekit.

Better together too.

A year ago when bhvr announced the HUD icons to bring solo up to swf level. They mentioned how balancing killers for them were tough because of the discrepancy. Now that it's been reached, I wonder what buffs they have planned.

There are lesser holidays they could make mini events for. Valentines day, Mardi Gras/Carnival, Holi, Easter, etc.

Woe unto the person who mains licensed characters that aren't from resident evil.

Soooo, more objectives for survivors? Basekit corrupt/their early game collapse idea that they scrapped?

And what would you have them do to fix gen times then? 100 second gens are out of the question imo. Personally, I think they shouldn't have given up on the early game collapse idea they said was too powerful on trap based killers. It might have been too powerful back then when solo q was as weak as it was, but with the HUD…

Love when someone is hooked, I'm the only person on a gen, which is something the HUD let's people know now, and there are two healthy survivors not going for the save and the person goes second stage. Like just how? Nobody was getting chased so what were the other survivors doing? Now I feel like a dick, for assuming my…

Feng's cosmetic count surpassed Claudette and Jake. Meg is sitting at having the most right now but Feng is quickly catching up. In just one patch this year, Feng got 4 skins in one patch. Kate and Meg had all the cosmetic love last year and I guess Feng took that personally. At what point does Feng getting a skin all the…

I felt the same about the deck the trials outfits. Like why did these pretty dresses need dirt on them? Wish bhvr would give us "pristine" options for certain cosmetics.

COH and dead hard should be looked at. Prove thyself by itself isn't really problem, just like with gen regression perks, it becomes excessive when combined with toolboxes and other gen speed perks.

For you maybe. But my blood webs barely gave me that many envelopes on my Ada.

Honestly think the only problem perks are dead hard, eruption and COH. As far as buffs are concerned, I want them to take time to undo some of the harsh nerfs they did in the perk overhaul patch over them buffing new ones. Ruin back to 200% regression but keep it deactivating when a survivor dies. Return self care's heal…

Because I ran out 😔.

I don't know if that's possible. You could nerf it so the self healing is for the person who brought the boon only, but that defeats the purpose of a boon empowering your team. Take away the self heal and it's just a meh healing perk (it would put it on the same power level as the other boon perks though). Take away the…

My games are about the same they were pre HUD update but according to the forums, the icons turned survivors into seal team six. I'm not going to act like these HUD icons aren't a big deal but guys it's been two days. Our games were sweatfests before, the icons didn't change that.

I just want base self care back at 32 seconds. There was no need to nerf the heal speed when they admitted the problem was higher mmr survivors using the medkit efficiency bonus to squeeze out maximum use of their medkits. Which they removed from the perk, the heal speed shouldn't have been touched.

Didn't they say a small perk rebalancing is coming and used eruption as an example? So why are you assuming they're just going to touch eruption and nothing else?

I agree, mini events would be nice. Imagine a Valentine's day mini event. I feel like it would put too much on their plate though.

Vittorio and Claudette's skins are the only thing I like in the rift. I don't care about the ugly green St.Patrick's day recolors (why did Kate get two? Is she Irish or something?) or any of the valentine's day recolors.

Jonah wasn't played as much when he launched, but they still released skins for him and it didn't take 8 months either. He even has a recolor in the current rift. The killer haddie came with also isn't played as much, but it still received 2 store skins and was featured in the winter event tome with a neat cosmetic. Just…
