So recently our pal @hydrodictyonEN informed me that the devs have finally confirmed that the new plague “bug” is actually an intended feature; the Plague will now lose her power after being stunned by almost any means. Plague not losing her power to other stuns was actually bug for FIVE YEARS, it turns out. This video analyzes this baffling revelation and showcases a build that helps to ignore this new weakness.

Nah makes sense to me, Head On always seemed like it should remove her power considering its harder/riskier than a pallet stun, and its still hitting her like a pallet hits her. D-strike and blast mine are a bit much
Honestly I liked the change, I felt like this create new counterplay to plague (a very strong killer!)
them saying plagues power was bugged is the biggest lie i've ever heard. they knew people would be upset and made up an excuse
Problem will be huge when face SWF which wont cleanse. You becoming M1 killer and most likly lose the game, I think they should add haste after yours power is off with no pools left until sombody cleanse again.
gets buffed for 5 years straight, gets one debuff “bruuuu what the hell so unfair”
that happens when the marketing guy writes the response to the community 😀
May I ask why you should prestige above level 9
"The community doesn't always know what's best for the game" …. yeah neither do the devs, so…
BHVR just has no idea what they are doing.
Good change
bhvr needs to learn that just because its a bug or unintended doesn't mean its bad.
"it is a bug, therefore we have to remove it as a matter of principle" is a really bad way to look at things. anyone who looked out this for just a second would realize that is was perfectly fine. it should have become a feature, not removed
So… Plague having bloody vomit that hurts can be cancelled by… doing the equivalent of sneezing on her
Yeah no I'm calling bullshit on the bug thing, no way it was a bug and they fucking know it. They are making this change out of no where and using that as a shitty excuse so they don't have to give an actual reason since there is no good one for this change.
I can’t be the only one who remembers her power working like this originally. They removed it one patch and are changing it back ig
"Hey this one plague add-on is kinda overpowered"
"Alrighty, let's nerf her power"
Classis bhvr spaghetti code
think this probably affects the top percentage of the playerbase, while making life better for the rest of us. Plague with power means a 4k in almost every game I play. Skill issue or whatever, doesnt change the fact that you need to balance the game in a way that makes it grow and catering to the top tier best players isnt that.
When a developer announces that a nerf they just did is actually just a bug that has been there for 5 years just they never bothered to fix it….thats code speak for "We just wanted to change it and dont have an excuse" btw. Its not the first ive seen it happen.
I don’t want to listen to coughing and puking for 15 minutes. Delete the killer instead.
You've heard of "it's not a bug, it's a feature". Well, here we have the reverse case of "It's not a feature, it's a bug."
Blast Mine breaking you out of power is actually insane.
I M GLAD THAT THEY NERFED PLAGUE
I saw this on the dbd sub, i thought it was a just a joke or something
Even BHVR doesn't know what BHVR is doing. Every one of their excuses seems like a child caught, "oh no, we didn't break a character and make a bad change, we were… Fixing a bug! Yeah, that's it! This is how the character was supposed to be all these years."
They should nerf pig too
This is so sad can we please get old ruin back?
2:42 – I was playing modded minecraft while listening to this… I crapped myself… That's what I get for not paying attention to Otz…
BHVR gaslighting Otz 🙂
As someone who is both not great at the game and had plague as my secondary i can tell you this change is definitely still going to negatively effect my experience. And that's even taking into account that i almost never directly grab the power, my playstyle is built around that.
something that has legit no reason to be changed now you have to respect pallets all of the time
This is the kind of change that makes BHVR seem out of touch. Who was saying "You know what? Decisive Strike should end Plague's Corrupt Purge."
Your hair looks amazing
Not the frist and not the last time they will do it
Gonna make a wild guess and say this was a backend change to how stuns are classed in the game to stop fringe issues, which happened to make Plague lose power to every stun.
Otz, as a Plague main all I can say is, this barely scratches the surface of her bugs, for example the random invisible walls in the air on some maps
Game was more fun when it was scary. Get rid of every perk and let the characters shine. Any killer works with op oerks.
