Question by Ms_claymore

Suggestion/request:

Please include an ingame notification on all platforms the next time you deactivate a feature for a certain amount of time, bonus points for doing so a week before the feature is deactivated.

Players are legit confused why Shrine of Secrets is not available/doesn't update anymore. Not everyone browses reddit or the official forums, reads your blog posts or watches your Developer Streams. Changes like this are important and should be clearly communicated in the game.

Answer

This is true, the in-game communication module isn't the best at the moment. It is planned to be reworked later this year.

Question from Filthybones

Nearly one year ago, Stefan Horvath talked about several rework perks ideas, especially one with Play with Your Food. What is the ETA on this perk? Besides DS, are you currently testing some perk reworks?

Answer

Absolutely, there is a lot of testing going on right now! We are aiming for a mid-chapter patch covering specific perks changes, addons adjustements, new addons and animation changes on charge time (for killers).
For instance, we are changing Tinkerer completely which led to a addon pass

The Creation of the Chapter 8

Question from mrsmile151

Will we ever get a buff to We're gonna live forever? Killer's BBQ give extra BP and ability too see survivors, and they gain this by doing what they are suppose to do. Survivors have to go out of their way just to get 1 token, and even that's not a guarantee, since another survivor get's the unhook before you even get there. The best way is to take a hit while simply while they are in the dying state or on the shoulder for just 1 token and 99% of cases, that won't help them. Taking a hit while they are being chases is super wonky and you have to pretty much right next to them. I've been in multi-pal cases where I got 4 tokens and still didn't even get double BP at the end of the match.

TL:DR We are using a perk for BP, that's very situational, doesn't really help the team, and doesn't help us.
Perhaps we could get a token for fixing a generator as well?

Question from Reindin

Almost two years ago on a dev stream you guys agreed that being forced to take a flashlight while being locked in an animation was unfair and unfun.
You told us you were making a change so that killers can move their cameras during pallet breaks and pickup animations.
How close are you to finishing this feature?

Answer

Design team answer

Still something we want to do. But we need a lot of animation resources that we do not have right now to do the job properly. We want to put it on this year's roadmap but as of right now it is in the backlog. We would also like to change the blindness effect because we had a lot of feedback on the white screen effect.
