The skill check perk is actually pretty good, just not by itself and there are lots of perks like that. Power Struggle is a great example, mostly useless but when combined with Flip Flop it's suddenly really good, and you can even take that further.

"Territorial Imperative actually has a use now wow" Fixed the sentence.

Invocations are cool though. I think we talked about it on stream, an Invocation that respawns any broken pallets would be cool and maybe make the one who started it get like a 3% Hinder for the rest of the match or something. There's a lot of possibilities with this system.

The incantation seems almost never worth it. Math wise, it's just slower. 120 seconds to grant a total of 105 seconds of generator charge, across 7 generators. Assuming the ideal situation where all 7 generators benefit from the extra progress, you would have been better off just doing gens normally. God forbid someone without the perk "help" you, so that you spend 180 survivor seconds (90 each) instead, or that a generator gets completed in those 2 minutes, or the worst case scenario of being interrupted late into it. And on top of the massive time sink for gen inefficiency, you get rewarded with perma broken status. I love the cult like concept, it sounds like such a cool perk, just math wise, even under ideal conditions it doesn't make sense to ever use it. Edit: Maybe it has value as a niche comp counter-pick against corrupt intervention for the coordinated teams that decide to hide and wait it out before touching gens.

Worth mentioning for the sake of self care perk, you just have to be half way down the stairs for it to count as "in the basement".

Of course they wouldn't. It's as central to the game as the gens and hooks. Basement never had a chance of going anywhere. But now I really want the Killer perk idea I had once of being able to spawn both basements and teleport between them.

What if the generator progress invocation spread 105 charges across all non-repaired generators? That way it would still be 15 per generator if done at match start but in by the time it’s down the last three gens each one would be getting 35 charges instead of just 15.

7:15 impressive that you went through the entire explanation of that gen perk without saying what it does to gens.

I've always had an idea for some sort of iron box chest to spawn in basement that refills rare items every few minutes to lure players into a risky spot, these perks are close to that and I hope they add more like them

Yeah I ran undone with coulrophobia and grim embrace and territorial imperative for the spider weaving perk and its quite strong. Having the ability to block all gens for 40s and then one gen for another 30s after is interesting. The amount you can snowball in a minute is quite alot.

Unbound seems fairly good especially on killers who already vault like wesker, legion or chucky. Isn't unforeseen just a slightly different trail of torment with just less cooldown and transferring your terror radius to the gen for 30 seconds instead of giving you undetectable until the gen stops regressing. Then undone seems like its gonna be alright on like doctor with huntress lullaby but is heavily reliant on the survivors to be bad at hitting skill checks and its not the best to actually build up as to get 30 charges as thats still 10 missed skill checks which even being doctor with lullaby you aren't guaranteed to get 30 charges even once, especially at high ranks, but the actual effect of it reducing gen progress by up to 30% and blocking a gen for up to 30 seconds on command could be very good at blocking and reducing the progress of a generator thats almost done and is gonna be really good for 3 gen builds, on specifically doctor if people miss skill checks, otherwise its probably not that good. Then for the Survivors the invocation: weaving spiders seems interesting but yea not that worth it unless your already running no mither cause then its just a time investment with no negatives beyond what no mither already gives you. The other 2 perks are kind of whatever faster self care but only in the basement with a little bit of aura reading which is alright depending on where the basement is and the last survivor perk is just less mangled duration after spending time in the basement with a bit of healing speed if cursed not that useful.

Aside from the numbers buffs suggested, one way incould see the new invocation buffed is to grant a bnp effect to all gens. Maybe not 15 charges, but its a possibility

The Invocation by itself isn't good. By itself, maybe it could add the effect of reducing or halting generator regression. But it could synergize *heavy* with other invocations down the road, depending on how future invocation perks work. A second invocation perk could double the effectiveness with no additional work to trigger the effects. If another survivor has a second invocation perk and joins your invocation, does their invocation also take effect upon completion? Does this mean that all survivors can start with an invocation perk, and go around the map doing stuff while one survivor begins the invocation in the basement, then everyone meets back up at the basement to activate all the buffs? What if they join the invocation for a few seconds, then leave? Or does only the initial invoker apply their buffs? If that's the case, are other survivors effectively locked out of using their invocations if they don't reach the basement first? This will either turn into a huge SWF buff or a solo queue nerf.

Big fan Scott! Is it possible that The Unknown will have ambush potential using a perk such as insidious? By placing a clone near an objective or the basement and then standing still next to it, they will look identical and have no terror radius. And I figure the only way a survivor would be able to discern between the two would be by getting in melee range to activate the clone dispelling sequence?.

Love most of the new perks, can't wait to see some PTB gameplay.

i feel like they're cooking with invocations, it's a really cool side objective/mini game for survivors and the reward could so much stuff

I think weaving spiders would be a more interesting perk if the affect divided 105 charges between the remaining gens- to have a perk that can be used earlier for a spread out jumpstart or later for a more powerful 3 gen solution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@doctorockzo

"With an additional 5 charges for each completed generator."

Scott, you missed a weird tech that you could do with the invocation generator perk! SWF could have it in their back pocket for a 3 gen style scenario. You have your team pressure the 3 gen as much as possible, and then you can send a guy to basement and then time your invocation to land to either finish the gen or set the gen up to be finished for the next person that gets a window to touch it.

I feel like the invocation can be good late game if you're dealing with a 3-gen situation. Helps spread pressure between the 3 gens and can confuse the killer.

I love the invocation idea, it's a fucking fantastic concept as you said... but that effect is completely terrible for the time sink. 1 base gen kick with 5 seconds of regression almost completely negates it, and at the start of the match it doesn't matter if you're protecting a cluster of generators anyway. Most survivors won't play tug of war with those gens at the start and opt to finish the ones outside of the cluster that don't matter. Then getting hooks and more regression completely turns it into a net waste of time. They need to make the perk better or it's just a soloQ bait perk like using self-care with a Legion with mangled addons.

@aeonamadi

3 ай бұрын

A small counterpoint: Honestly with what we saw with that pro level team going against the duder playing Chess Merchant - the incantation could actually be really viable in a unique situation where you have to break that hold without actually being on the gen itself. Would effectively mean that all four survivors are working on three gens separately, which the killer -cannot- put pressure on even in a 3-gen situation. Mixed with the 8-kick limit... Yeah I think the perk actually will have a lot of (niche) value.

Happy to see these survivor perks I think they will be fun to mess around with

I think the broken status should last as long as it took to cast the invocation. So you have less broken time if you get help, but any survivor that participated also is broken for the duration.

I mean. Wicked synergizes incredibly well with the other perks. If you're going to be spending time in the basement casting the Invocation, you'll get ALL your stacks of Wicked, and it wasn't just spent AFKing. That's not to say it's a particularly useful perk, but if you pair it with the other basement perks, you'll easily passively get the charges on it while doing something else productive.

@oscar3153

The perk is counterproductive by equipping it

For invocation: weaving I believe the charges given should be like bnps. 1. Invocation is a great new idea and there should be more than 1 of it. And like boons it should be high risk high reward. 2. As it stands rn all the killer has to do is run ruin and all that progress goes away within 15 seconds. So it's nothing but a waste of time for you and your team. So like i said, make it so the charges can't be taken away (since 15 isn't too much anyway) and then it's worth the perk slot. I said this on my stream but im not as popular as you so maybe you can get this out there and MAYBE the devs will hear my cry lol

Unbound reminds me of the Xenomorphs Rapid Brutality. I guess one of the next killer perks will be Unbound with pallets and the one after that Unbound with gens? Those perks are getting less and less inspired by the minute. Killer seems really fun though.

This chapter is already a masterpiece, great perks, great killer and survivor, beautiful map, scary and horror chase music and menu music. I'm already reading that they are going to main them, me included

Im so happy they made a killer whos basically tailer made for junkrat and demo mains, just imagine the explosive snipes!

Invocation: Weaving Spiders should remove 15 charges from all gens instead, like a bnp. Then it's good.

I think all 3 killer perks are OK on their own but definitely all have good synergy with some specific builds and play styles. If you like skill check builds, these parks are for you.

Im sensing alot of basement builds from both sides in the near future

15% charges on a lot of gens is not that good thou. You can have your aura spotted in basement, killer can go down there and get you. its one of the most memes perk ever made by bhvr. they made a bunch of weak perks which works in the most dangerous place for survivor: basement.

@@samsclubhouse my mistake. this ritual repair 15 charges of all remaining gens. so as you said its a little more than 15%.

I'm surprised you didn't compare ''strength in shadows'' (SIS) to COH in its design. Survivors get a perk which grants them infinite self-healing at strong speeds. Whilst you need to manually place COH by blessing a totem in a designated area, SIS is just a pre-placed boon in the basement, which is usually shack anyway. You call the perk map dependant since the basement spawn is random and can be far off somewhere, but the best use of COH is to put it in some corner of the map (or upstairs somewhere, but that's on a handful of maps) away from active generators so the killer never goes to the area. Yet with SIS, you don't even need to search for totems and bless one, or risk having it deactivated by the killer - it's permanently active at all times. So yes, you might spend a little longer than COH on some maps to travel to the basement, but the time investment evens out IMO. Basement itself is generally a safe spot unless the killer is near, but the same applies to COH - since the killer could hear the boon and search the area.

Hey Scott, do you think maybe changing the Weaving Spiders perk to instead of giving 15 charges in progress to removing 15 Charges from the max gen completion? That way a single Ruin or Surge or something doesn't waste your time and perk. Probably too strong but they could also lower the Charge count in that case

If weaving spiders did something more interesting like reducing the amount of charges that a gen needs by 15 so the killer couldn't just kick it away I think that would be better

I really do like the idea behind Invocations but Weaving Spiders is a little underwhelming. I think if it gave twenty charges it'd be fine. One thought that got brought up when Otz was going over things was popping all seven generators at once with the Perk and I'd like to see a group of friends do that while in a public match with a Killer that's not playing along. Playing fair but not just "letting" them do it. They get all seven generators to around seventy-eight charges then finish Weaving Spiders to finish them all at once. Be a pretty "fun" self imposed challenge. Thanks for the video Scott.

The downside of taking 2 minutes in the basement is already enough to balance Weaving Spiders imo. The permanent broken after seems too far. A lot of progress on 1 or 2 gens is always worth more than a little progress on many gens in most situations anyways; the value comes from killers not expecting (competent) survivors to waste time in basement so they might never know that it's being used.

Looking forward to Demo and Dredge basement jumpscares

I feel like the Invocation perk is such a unique and interesting concept but they played it safe since it affects gens across the map. It could definitely be buffed a tiny bit since the downside of being broken for the rest of the match is huge, its also only usable once, regardless if 4 survivors bring the perk. I actually feel like the perk is best in 3-gen scenarios which is ironic because we got the huge nerf to 3-gens recently. To me, it's kind of confusing what sort of niche this is supposed to fill. I think it'd be better if instead of giving all gens 15 charges, it split 105 charges across the remaining gens. With 7 gens remaining, it'd split 105 charges equally across all 7 (15 each). With 3 gens remaining, it'd split 105 charges across 3 gens (35 each), that way you don't "lose value" from the perk for holding onto it. Alternatively, you could apply the BNP effect to all affected gens, giving them a permanent 15 charges (without scaling for each gen). Either of those 2 effects would make being broken for the remainder of the trial much more worth it, since you're either playing with No Mither at the start of the trial, or you have 3 perks until the end of the trial.

Unrelated to the actual video, can someone tell me how to record my voice and webcam while other gameplay is playing in the background? Like gameplay I've previously recorded. I'd appreciate any help!

Huntress perk might have some good use it's a gamble if they don't bring these perks but still it might be useful

It's amazing that they make a perk that requires you to sit in basement for over a minute, then make a perk that needs you to be in basement for over a minute to get max stacks, only to then have the first one make you unable to benefit from the other. "Aha, now I can't heal back up from being injured significantly faster." The incantation must have not had the broken effect earlier on in the design, and they just didn't get to changing the third perk, because that is some impressive anti synergy.

"Unforeseen" Needs a complete rework. Not because the perk is too strong, but because its basically just trail of torment 2.0. They have almost the same effect, although you could argue that Unforeseen is a bit more useful because the terror radius stays on the generator and potentially scares people away from it. But I would basically never run trail of torment anymore when this new perk is out, it would be cool if it did something different.

I think if Undone had only 10 tokens and each token was worth 3% it would be a lot better without being too op. This would make it useful even in higher mmr matches without requiring Doctor or a dedicated build. People dont miss skill checks that often, and you almost certainly arent building up 30 tokens in a single game without playing against beginners or people farming. Not to mention you lose all he tokens anytime you kick a gen so it doesnt let you really "build up" a full stack unless you totally avoid kicking gens

Someone said Invocation: Resurrection would be dope and I agree. Maybe you could bring a survivor back to life but they are permanently broken and can only have on hook state!

VHS and Evolve were great examples of why having a resurrect in an asym is a fucking awful idea, there's no way it wouldn't be way too overtuned. Granted, those games failed for a myriad of other reasons, but those respective mechanics certainly didn't help.

Being able to eliminate a survivor from the game is a core strategy of killer, at mid-high mmr you can usually predict the outcome of a match depending on whether the first survivor has been eliminated by the time the third gen has popped (at least in my experience). By giving survivors a way to effectively undo one of the most fundamental methods of killers gaining advantage, you end up potentially screwing the entire balance of the game. That perk would be the absolute epitome of meta-defining.

Weaving Spiders is only to make Territorial Imperative not utterly worthless. It’s still not _good,_ but it could help rarely, I guess.

I wish the invocation perk was different than just another gen perk.

Scott do the Scott shaker

What if you use plot twist after being injured from invoking, would you heal to full regardless of being broken?

One Barbeque and Chili and the incantation perk's DONE for! It's as you said,great reward but the risks and the sacrifice make it not that worth.

i know this is sort of off topic but anyways, wouldn't vigil be better than running the perk "wicked" because you recover from not only mangled but all status effects 30% faster without needing to do anything

ER DLC trailer today, hype!!!

I can’t believe they added Scott as a killer

Can't wait to run Territorial Imperative every game

I refuse to play survivor for weeks after this releases. The amount of PC's I'd break from people AFKing in basement to permanently injure themselves would bankrupt me

Idk with weaving spiders you spend 120 seconds to get 105 seconds' worth of repair time, right? I know it doesn't exactly work that way since while repairing you can get chased away, but... It just seems really bad at present

Got to love again how killer perks are good to really good and the survivor perks are bad to really bad, but hey that's the way this game has been trending for the last couple of months. I guess BHVR really needs killers in this game, why else has this consistently happened in the last few updates. Anyone see an Alan Wake perk on survivor other than maybe Champion of light?

Not surprised the new map is GARGANTUAN

Using the invocation at the end is an idea. In a way it could sorta be a 4th gen. Kinda. A little. 15% isnt a ton and would require a coordinated team. And the devs worked "hard" to kill 3 gening forever anyway so. Ya it aint really worth it but its a cute idea I guess.

Map idea: replace all tiles with shack and basement and have underground maze of tunnels between each

Scott I think your math might be off when valuing the incantation perk. Even at 7 gens, you’re only gaining 105 charges for your 120 seconds. Even if you somehow needed 15 seconds to run from gen to gen at best, you’re breaking even, as a survivor does gens at 1 charge a second. Even if you have 2 people with the perk, you’re still spending 120 seconds total, 60 per survivor, for 105 charges. Only at THREE people with the incantation, do you start to see value, with 90 total seconds spent, 30 per survivor, to get 105 charges. Even then, that’s only 15 seconds of time gained, in return for 3 survivors having 3 perks for the rest of the game, and one survivor being permanently broken.

The value is you are sort of out of the game for that time. Its pretty unlikely the killer will just randomly go in the basement, at least once the wave of new perk interest goes away. You also can do gens that are in bad places, etc. That being said I mean yeah I agree its barely worth running at all. The survivor perks are not good.

@@ScottJund It's telling that the devs are frightened of accidentally adding a really strong gen perk that they make it under efficient compared to just old fashioned sitting on a gen AND it gives you no mither (without its benefits) AND it can be interrupted at any time during the process before it takes effect. At the same time they are being so careful with this, they make PTB Huntress able to loop while holding the hatchet, and PTB Blight with infinite rushes, that's really odd and pretty funny.

@IHasIdea

Btw you mention being out of the game while in the basement, same can be said if you're just doing your gen at some part of the map away from the action. In that case you're just replacing doing a gen away from the action to "doing a gen" in the basement but it takes longer and if you ARE interrupted all the time invested goes to waste. And you get stuck with perma broken cause why not. More I think about it, it's kinda like the devs just added a perk to open a hypothetical 8th gen in the basement but it's so inefficient and punishing to do that it's practically never worth it as it is currently.

they never specified you had to heal yourself with strength in shadows so what if botany, we'll make it, strength in shadows, and desperate measures for the dbd youtube "insta heal" basement rescue build? ya know almost completely unnecessary for a safe basement unhook, but a good build for a video

Strength in shadows + Botany Knowledge is 110 healing speed. That’s faster than Circle Of Healing lol

@Veekron

3 ай бұрын

Healing buff and debuff percentage in dbd is multiplicative, not additive. Botany knowledge would increase healing speed of strength in shadows by 30% percent, because it's 50% of 60%, giving 90% healing speed. Still quick, though.
