EMBLEM SYSTEM DETAILS
Emblems are a new system to evaluate your performance during a match and gives you pips. Killers and Survivors each have 4 Emblems they can obtain during a match by performing specific actions and adopting specific behaviors. Each Emblem come in 4 qualities, and the total amount of Emblems as well as their quality determines the amount of pips the player is going to win/lose.

We are implementing this System for several reasons:
1. Separate the ranking from the Bloodpoints won : Bloodpoints is a currency dedicated to progression, and using it in order to rank players was becoming an issue. We want to be able to impact the amount of points you win without impacting your rank.
2. Have clear actionable systems to encourage interesting play : unlike the Bloodpoints, Emblems cannot be farmed. This gives us more control to assess player behaviors and reward good play, as well as encourage interactions between Survivors.

Bloodpoints will not save on the PTB.

Originally posted by Guillotine:

Originally posted by Peanits: If they're doing it right in front of the killer and the killer is allowing them to repeatedly unhook them (i.e. he's not chasing the other guy), that starts to be a problem. If someone's getting chased and unhooks someone careless, much as it does suck, we don't ban for that. It's scummy, but it could be considered a valid strategy as they are trying to dump the killer on the other guy to save themselves.

So on a related n...

Originally posted by Black_Fence: Well the report I sent was a video of a guy standing by the hook fake unhooking (so like starting the animation then stopping it) over and over again and blocking me from unhooking the poor dude. He even admited it was because the guy said that he was going to put BPS down. But I keep seeing him in games and he keeps trolling me because he know I reported him D:

I remember dealing with this report yesterday and I can confirm that action was taken. Softbans for griefing start at 24 hours. If they're still griefing, I encourage you to record it and report them again. Bans will get longer and eventually turn into permanent bans if they don't stop.

Originally posted by Peanits: Depends. If it is clear that the person is working with the killer and farming at someone else's expense, yes. But if it's possibly just a careless unhook because they want the points, no.


In game.

Its not necessary that they work for the killer.They just work for themselves.They just unhook over and over again to get the points.

It's based on the angle of approach, and you'll also need a run-up. If you sprint at a window head on, you will do a fast vault and go straight through the window. But if you sprint at it from the side or bump into the window before vaulting, you'll do a medium vault.

To get the fast vault, just be sure to run straight at the window from about a meter or so away and press space before you touch the wall. Otherwise, you'll get the medium vault. This isn't always possible, which is why some loops are less effective one direction than in the other. Take the ironworks, for example. If vaulting in, you do not have the space required to do the fast vault in, so doing the loop that way means you'll gain less ground. It also means that as a killer, you'll want to try to force them to change directions if possible.

As someone who spent all morning going through reports, yes, absolutely. They get dealt with one by one. Sometimes the proof we get isn't sufficient so we're unable to do something about it.

This.

I believe on the back it has the word "Crew"

Correct.

It's because it's not actually unused.

It's a dev/mod exclusive. Or a cheater exclusive, until they get banned for cheating.

That would be so cool! Heck of a challenge but it would be so good - then everyone would be immersed!

I was actually thinking about it the other day. I bet it's pretty cool. It'd probably be really intense as a survivor, especially when going up against something like the wraith. Though you'd have to play in first person, so good luck there.
