[2019] Emblems #2 Player Test Build | Patch Notes

THIS IS ON PLAYER TEST BUILD ONLY,
NOT YET ON THE LIVE VERSION OF DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.

FEATURES & CONTENT
SURVIVORS

• LIGHTBRINGER now includes Hex cleansing and exit gates opening. A passive amount of points will also be granted to all Survivors alive each time a gen is completed.
  
  • The idea behind it is to reward players who allow their team to do gens without doing them themselves (occupying the Killer, cleansing a hex,...)
• UNBROKEN can now grant up to the Silver quality upon death, based on the time spent in the trial before dying.
  
  • We do not want to grant nothing to a player who managed to survive for an extensive amount of time without escaping.
• In BENEVOLENT, you now lose points only if someone gets hooked, not injured. Additionally, you don’t lose points on the last hook (3rd one). A unhook action resulting in the Survivor being downed again shortly after will result in negative points. Taking a hit while someone is being carried grants points, just like making someone escape the killer’s grasp. Benevolent actions taken in the basement or after the gates are opened grant bonus points.
  
  • We removed the points loss upon a Survivor getting injured. It was too frustrating and felt outside of the player's control. More benevolent actions are now taken into account, and farming a Survivor on the hook is now punished.
• EVADER now secures the points you win in Chase every 15 seconds (to make it match with the Bloodlust Tiers). This amount of points is now exponential: you win more per second during a long chase than a short one.The amount of points won in Stealth when the Killer is in chase is now greatly reduced.
  
  • We realized it was unfair to grant no points for a Survivor managing to extend a chase for a long time but ending up taking a hit. This new structure will reward longer chases and risk-taking, as points are secured on a regular basis.

KILLERS

• CHASER now gives you less points as the chase goes on. The loss of points per second is also exponential, so closing chases quickly is way more rewarded. Closing chases quickly as a Killer should be rewarded accordingly. This new system encourages short and effective chases for the Killer, creating more confrontation with the Survivors.

BALANCE

• Changed values and adding curves for the following Scoring Events: Chase Escape, Chase Per Second, Coop Objective
  
• Reworked all Emblems values to correct some of them which were either too easy or too hard to get.
