Oh boy I'm already nervous to read this 😭
Ok this wasn't bad im glad the Freddy we got in the ptb is coming live to us 😅
I wonder if bhvr had tried to get Rober Englund's likeness and failed or they just don't care at all, i know that is a skin i would insta buy with my eyes closed…
Can't wait for freddy. I have 2.8 mil blood points waiting for him
Not Wake Up!! 😭
Hey Paulie have you ever Tried Roblox Dead by daylight
Rip wake up that perk is never going to be useful terrible rework imo ,
That Wake Up change was terrible. We really need to be able to see other survivor's perks in the lobby before the game starts as well as the in-game notification that pops up.
Imagine nerfing a perk that has like a 0.01% pick rate.😂😂
Make wake up an area effect say w/in 3 meters of a survivor opening a gate gets the perk benefit
Why they had to kill off wake up it felt so good on ptb and now it's going to be way worse than last minutes of our current 25% faster opening gates i thought for sure we're going to get 50% Faster opening Gates and I would make a combo with hope for safer escape and now i'm out of luck i hope they would even at least revert those changes back😢
Lmao. They nerfed "Wake Up".. Bravo devs 😂 they did it again. Cringe 🥱
I want to have a fun gate open speed build but no someone dies and I get punished 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
'we're gonna buff Wake up…Nevermind we're going to nerf it for the times you'll need it. it's only good when everyone's alive, when you don't need it'
Just revert the change 😭
Why they holding out on the tome reveal. I'm going bald from tearing my hair. I can't survive another day in the dark.
That Wake Up change is terrible. They either need to revert the PTB version or just leave it alone because the way it’s gonna work now, nobody will use it.
Atp we should've expected this from the developers
5;35 Yea, as it stands the perk is still not very useful unless in a SWF with comms to tell you that I have Wake Up.
When is the blood moon event gonna be?
Wake up didn’t need a nerf. Wtf are they doing?
I understand they want to balance the game around team play, and I get that they're worried about selfish playstyles like it was for a long time before they nerfed Distortion. But Wake Up will now become yet another perk that MAY (probably even not) only be used by SWFs. If someone liked Wake Up, they'll probably switch to Sole Survivor, as you mentioned.
Good point on your part that Wake Up should be visible to others so they know why I'm annoyingly spamming the "2" interaction 😅😆
It’s strange to me because initially, they wanted to buff Wake Up, but it ultimately ends up being a nerf 🤔However, the visibility of perks like that should be available for everyone, and the DBD community has been asking for it for a long time.
They say they're open to player feedback – I'd like to ask, where can give them a feedback?
Wake up will be a lot less strong even when you have teamates alive as if your down to 2 so 1 runs killer while you get gate it’ll be a lot weaker and they can likely hook em and pressure you off so now you both die. Or if your last. Or hell even if all 4 because it doesn’t show you don’t get to use it at full power. They just made it to hurt any last survivors standing
The more I think about the Wake Up! rework the less and less sense it makes overall. For instance the odds are if you've got gates powered and 4 survivors are still in the trial, you won't NEED the 50% total speed since the killer can't cover 2 gates being opened and 2 other survivors. You need faster gate speed the FEWER survivors there are, because then there's more pressure from the killer on the gates. It's like the basic gameplay loop of Dead by Daylight. It's just really bad design. The devs decided an underutilized perk will see even less play because it "needed identity" or something. Throw this up there with the Calm Spirit "buff" from 2 years ago as just a all time terrible design choice that seemed to centered on making sure a perk is never picked.
Dont understand at least if they didnt want 50% on wake up put it back to 25% and not nerf it
Bro, they old yellered wake up
Wake up! + Sole Survivor rats were a plague just like old Distortion rats. Any perk change the discourages Survivors from being an egoistic rat is a good change, even if it means a weak perk gets nerfed because of it. The other solution to those egoistic rats would be to make such behavior bannable, but we all know that's very unlikely to ever happen.
I swear they have a Dart board that decides what Killer perk to buff / nerf – what Survivor perk to buff / nerf.
Well, Beast of Prey still sounds like a complete waste of a perk …
Attacking Wake Up … I don't really agree with it, but meh. I still will never run a perk that only activates when 99% of the trial is done and dusted.
bro wake up was only good in solo q anyway 😭 and u know damn well no solo q teammates make it to the end w you
Long story short: Freddy goes back exactly where it was initially. Congrats, BHVR! Well done…. PTB thought us absolutely nothing… again.
Lmao the new wake up only saved 2 seconds on exit gates. Can be clutch but niche af, BHVR is so dumb.
