Kinda off topic but but there's another bug that me and my friends found you can duplicate pink f by opening the crate at the same time as other players I would like this to be given awareness by content creators so that it can be patched out more quickly

[@Dabrownman1812]

It was an unintended feature to gain energy while shooting people who are down. Idk why people didn't think about that. You shouldn't be attacking downed targets, it was never intended to have any benefit.

[@fiddlinman_1playsgames641]

Eh. I agree it was not intended. But lots of games encourage you to shoot downed opponents to kill them more quickly. Fortnite, COD Warzone, etc.

[@Tyranix969]

The benefit would be if the downed survivor was completely isolated, you could shoot them uninterrupted all the way up until your possessed survivor is completely out of ammo before releasing them.

[@Dabrownman1812]

@@Tyranix969 the point was it wasn't supposed to have a benefit cause you weren't supposed to hit downed peeps. So it's back to neutral, wasn't an intended feature. I know what people could do with it, just wasn't supposed to be a thing at all.

[@Justiceforall.1]

Well done, to farm ammo for 15min and have a toxic demon, that waves your gun (and for me) abuses a bug was stupid. He can empty your pockets in 1 move

[@HeyJoJoTF2]

​@@fiddlinman_1playsgames641 I think this game is a bit too different for that train of thought, like there's no possession/energy mechanic in those games. Plus the audience for those games is definitely not playing this they'll already be back to their sweating ahaha Plus you said it in a way that makes it sound like the natural train of though like "this is like warzone, I should shoot downed players" when I guarantee all the killers abusing it heard about it being a known bug online

[@ELECTRIK_VISION1]

Having the demon get exorcised to the next objective would be huge, top tier survivors really can rush the dark ones down, plus I agree with giving the demon a bit of set up time that could help if the game isn’t going great could be a small assist to equalise/diminish a large lead the survivors could have, glad they’re fixing bugs it’s good to see

[@agikai_]

Companies need to pay you with how informative you are describing their own patch and balance notes. You aren’t always the first one out with a video but you’re always the best one that comes out with these type of vids. Survivor or Demon, I’m always able to stay ahead of the curve, thanks to you.

[@christophermartin1315]

I disagree that the dark ones energy gain should have stayed the same for the sole reason that sometimes map pieces can spawn right next to the dark ones. It has happened to me multiple times at fishing village or sewage treatment plant.

[@SwingPoynt]

That's probably the scenario they were fixing for. Make sense.

[@AdventureClass42]

Would like to see it kept in and scale regen rate based on objectives completed so far. Scouting it earlier is more dangerous since survivor have fewer resource and splitting makes it easier for demon to find you.

[@notbrad4873]

If the demon is teleported to the dark ones, the demon loses a lot of opportunity to delay the survivors. The dark ones should simply not spawn until the 2nd obj is complete. They also need to stop teleporting the demon literally across the map. I lost ⅓ obj progress to survivors once because objs were next to each other and it teleported me 700 ft away

[@asterix1912]

the teleport is very necessary actually

[@N1ceDreamsz]

Warlord puke needs fixed. Such a good ability, unlike the AI the demon player can do a 360 almost with it. And I'm cool with that, just not cool with the animation cancelling.

[@McSchwanger]

No

[@vinicius284]

Same bro, either remove the dodge block or remove the cancel

[@rkochamp07]

Now they need to fix the Industrial Strength bug for supports. For those who don’t know if you max out the Industrial Strength perk for your support character, the characters health will drop down to base health instead of increasing. So you can’t get full value from that perk as a support character

[@Danakun]

appreciate the patch notes updates you do cause i don't keep track of it myself a lot of the time.

[@wpole33]

They need add an update when u are a demon form , u can jump out of windows to chase after the chickens who run and spam it.

[@morganspinner9625]

Lol are you mad because there's a counter to spamming possession?

[@reynold99991]

Demons can yet get players stuck in dark ones after possessing them, happened to 2 members of my group last night

[@Krayor]

I've had mini ashes take 2 colas from me once, so maybe it's balancing it out to only take 1 max.. I hope.

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

The dark ones are too easy for the survivors, and the book is impossible to destroy lol

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

@Omenote all maxed idk... If they get that far I usually don't win.

[@GothamsHer0]

Not sure if it was intentionally or not, but the game I just played, exactly what you were talking about in the video happened to me. Once one obj was captured, it spawned me at the other one. Once that one was completed, it spawned me at the dark ones. If it wasn't intentional, then it was the absolute most luck I've ever had in the game. It also occurred on the large map, not the small, which seems like that would increase the rarity of that happening by chance.

[@badnoxin3851]

What if the dark old ones energy bolts locked on to survivors but the survivors can still dodge through them if they see them coming? Thoughts🤔

[@brandonwarner3732]

Sounds good to me

[@darylwerder7064]

just to make sure I understand, you're trying to make it so survivors can't continue attacking dark ones and just holding left right to dodge orbs? if so I think that's good, those orbs literally do nothing to good players. much like every other 4v1 game, it's not quite as bad as other examples but the scales are definitely tipped in favor of the survivors now that people have learned the game. just like Resident Evil Resistance, my hope was that they implemented massive balance changes to fix the unfairness overall but I think in a year or so this game will be in a similar place sadly. I love it but I see it going in that direction without major changes

[@tvbandit115]

I dont hate this idea

[@badnoxin3851]

@@darylwerder7064 that's it👍 I think the end game should be the craziest part of the game. Dark old ones shooting crap at you that requires survivors to PAY ATTENTION while also trying to keep the demon at bay. I think it would be a blast😎🤘

[@darylwerder7064]

@@badnoxin3851 Totally agree. Like the demon can do some crazy builds to make specific creatures more powerful, but the main survivor strats are all about strategic timing and positioning rather than being able to outkill the demon (i.e. doing page/dagger closer to DO's last). The exorcism mechanic is pretty hurtful, I get the idea in a "lore" sense but having 2 objectives or DO close together and getting sent 700 yards away is such a time waste against good teams that rush objectives

[@Thatitchyguy]

Nice changes for both sides. really hope they find a way to fix weapon dropping. right now it removes the hunters only true weakness in 2 clicks.

[@Melons987]

It's tricky because if you allow the Demon to pick items up then you run the risk of Demon doing weird shenanigans. Do hope that maybe after you possess a surv as Demon it auto picks up the nearest gun so at least you have something to work with rather than be hindered

[@kingofrats9311]

@@Melons987 I think it’s a fine counter to demon. Part of the risk of targeting certain survivors

[@itsmepjp]

Best evil dead videos. Really appreciate it!

[@SwingPoynt]

Thank you Paul!

[@Aci_yt]

Any plans for updated guides? :)

[@sonictelephone1526]

The demon should just be ported to the dark ones after the second objective. Even if the survivors haven't scouted the dark ones, sometimes RNG proper screws you. You can be ported miles from the dark ones and the survivors are right next to them. They are on the book phase before you can even get back. It doesn't happen often but when it does it sucks. When I'm playing survivor and this happens then I'll take advantage of course - I want the win, but it still feels lame.

[@N1ceDreamsz]

I'd only agree with that If a survivor is already at the dark ones

[@sonictelephone1526]

@@N1ceDreamsz I'd agree with that. Simply the demon should never start further away from the dark ones than any of the survivors

[@N1ceDreamsz]

@@sonictelephone1526 yup

[@Xeo7]

Been waiting for several of these.

[@Hohndo13]

So there is some testing I'd like to do. One would be easy to figure out but I haven't been able to get a Hunter Ash in a game I've been Pupprteer in. I was wondering if Hunter Ash's ability also knocked basic units out of Puppeteer's power possession? I suspect it does..just wanna confirm. Also, I wanted to see some testing on the range of fires and lanterns. I had someone light a campfire ahead of me and I started losing my fear level from a surprisingly long distance. Wondering what that range is and if lanterns are also the same distance.

[@mikeisawesome4092]

R.I.P. blue Hunting Rifle...I will miss you

[@erickm5725]

one other thing is i wonder is about cars! i have matches as demon that survivers bring 4 car or 3 car to dark ones! and when book showed up they drive them to book and really its not time and energy for demon to move them!

[@ryan123136]

Am I the only one that wants to see a personal leader boards added to the game like the ability to see how many matches you’ve won and lost as each demon and or survivors how many survivors killed by basic units or bosses etc.

[@kanikmesh8870]

please.. i beg you.. do a video on the final objective. the book's HP is larger than what the red health bar indicates

[@dumpy8312]

I literally don't even play this game nor plan to I just like keeping up with these videos about it lol

[@koseorhun]

I still dont get this drop weapon mechanic. Why is it even a thing to counter very important mechanics like possession and chest trap? They should be only done outside of demon range so that people use it for its intended purpose: give weapons/ammo to others

[@cliqinheads7545]

I was wondering if you can make a elite/ boss build?, I’m trying to use different units but the elites are so bad imo that idk what would be a good demon/ setup.

[@DFQreacts]

If It benefits the survivors: if it's out of the game don't really have to worry about it anymore, so no big deal! If it benefits demon: ya they probably shouldn't have removed that. That's literally every patch note video on KZbin...

[@kfdan42]

Great update again. Thank F the shooting bodies and blue hunting rifle are fixed. Those made some games impossible to come back from.

[@atomicskullkid4722]

IMO, the Demon player is severely underpowered. You're at a massive disadvantage once blue objs are completed. You're teleported across the map over hundreds of meters away with zero energy, while survivors get to walk over to the Dark Ones and start it immediately while you're slow flying all the way over to it. It's no wonder Demon players often DC from matches, it's not balanced at all and in my game the Demon almost never wins. I stopped playing Demon for that reason, not to mention the cost of units, and having it take way too long to max out your in game skill points. Maybe I'm biased towards Demon but to feel like a threat they need to be buffed in almost every aspect.

[@crythorga4880]

Do you know how to exploit the scotty 1 shoot bug? If so can you make a video and report it to saber? This is beyond ridiculous and i am facing it more often now.

[@phenomskllz2502]

So when are we getting all these updates ? You always talk about these changes but I haven’t gotten an update yet

[@Filmyak01]

Spot on analysis as always. Curious what you think... I'd love to see a balance adjustment where, if survivors split the pages/dagger objectives, and demon kills the survivors at one of the two objectives, those survivors do not auto respawn when the other objective is complete. Makes it FAR too easy for survivors to split the objectives with zero consequences. Just need one of them to survive and complete the objective where the demon is not, and POOF... they are all back and ready to go again.

[@daffyduck9733]

This has been a topic for a while now. I don't think leaving them dead is the way to go. I believe swing did a video on how to deal with split pushing I don't think it's a good idea especially in current meta with basics being so strong.

[@saihiko9967]

Yo swing I had a match where the both objectives were near each within 100 yards of each other and the dark ones were also around same distance from both objectives, and this was all in the big map, on the bottom left of the map, it was like a small triangle of all the objectives next to each other, fortunately, I killed them all at the first objective, also only found them after all 2 map pieces were collected, and they were getting the 3rd, biggest f you moment I had when playing the game but my necromancer elite build broke them down too fast.

[@athenatherose5074]

🥺 I got good I'm actually a proper demon now..I won 5 matches in a row idk what they did but I'm actually playing again. Really sad I can't unlock all the upgrades on the puppeteer 😭 it makes my brain hurt looking at it..

[@victorious6236]

I don't think the change to regenerating IE when both survivor and demon are near the Dark Ones is as big of a deal as you seem to think it is. In this video you go on to explain a situation where you break off from your team to attack the DOs immediately after completing the page/dagger objectives. Well, here's the thing: you CAN'T attack the DOs until the last objective is complete. This patch effects something that was able to be exploited BEFORE the page & dagger were complete. The way it was before, let's say a map piece spawned near the DOs. A survivor is there looking for the map and the demon shows up. Apparently that would trigger passive IE regeneration AS IF the match were in its final stages. Now, in the situation explained above, that early match passive regeneration won't happen any more. And in the situation you take so much time to describe in this video, nothing at all is changing. The moment both page & dagger are completed the demon will still give this passive IE regeneration the moment it and a survivor show up at the DOs. So, again, in your situation, it's working exactly the same pre- AND post-patch. Hope this helps. Check your Twitter. And you're sexy AF. Cheers

[@darylwerder7064]

I think his point was that survivors can get an advantage by scouting Dark Ones early, and this being a way to give the demon an edge if that is the case. but yes your scenario is definitely a big issue, I do like the idea of DO's not spawning until after second objective, can't really think of any reason wrong with it aside it removing the ability to choose the best order to do your objectives.
