Hex: Devour Hope, are you serious?

[Raptor]

So this perk gives the killer the ability to 1-shot down survivors and kill them immediately like they have a mori? I just played a game against a Hag where she did this to us one at a time, and I'm still kind of new so have never seen this perk before.

How in the hell is this balanced in any way? Is this supposed to be fun at all? What a load of crap. I even got right next to the escape hatch, but was 1-shotted then killed. What an absolute load of crap. Why is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even in the game???

Y-you do know it takes 10 seconds to cleanse the associated totem and remove the perk, right?

The totems also spawn in pretty routine locations, and there's also small game to help detect it if you don't know where those are yet.

She could've killed you five times over by that point but chose to give you free rescues. You should be thanking her. It's your fault that you didn't take advantage of your second chances.

People don't realize this perk is a direct counter to camping killers. You need to play smart, don't get caught. Or you can sacrifice your teammates and the perk will have no affect. Also it can be cleansed. This perk is ridiculusly weak except against new players.

[BlaZ]

Hag is really the only one that can defend her totems... Wish there could be another way.

[VanillaPlume]

Well, if she didn't get 3 tokens by the time SVs realize she has the perk, even she is not able to defend it effectively. She will loose gens or the totem.

[Alyx]

It's also not very often used cuz it is so easily countered by destroying totems and getting the 1 that negates it.

Dude please. Just play the game or quit. I mean....60 hours of gameplay....less than a week of game play and you are complaning that the weakest killer in game now is owning you?

Dude you are noob beyond comprehension.....you already said you are new....

Don't waste the people's time here. Thank you.

[Red Jasper]

yeah you only have 60 hrs in game so it would have been very easy to get wrecked by a hag at your level of experience. This is actually more imabalanced in favor of survivors. Once you get used to the game, you'll know pretty well how to counter this hex very easily. Firstly, before patch 1.5 you can tell straight away that a killer has this hex because after the first unhook, it shows on your perks slots as a hex on survivors when working on a generator. So, I would know instantly to stop what I'm doing and not unhook a survivor until I find that little hex. You'll know you're near a hex because you can hear the crackling fire sound around it. It's very obvious and a little more higher pitched than fire cans in the game. In the new patch to come, you'll just have to watch the survivors and pay attention to if they're getting downed instantly even if healthy. Devour hope is a very obvious perk. You will see this hex a lot more often in new patch since Thrill of the hunt hex notifies killers that you're cleansing a hex and Devs are creating the perk Fool's greed that spawns a false hex.

I'm also usually able to keep my totem with Billy and Trapper. (Should be pretty easy with Nurse too)
When you start game with trapper choose 3 gens with totem between that and set/move all the traps to those 4 objects. #mapManagement
And I use whispers to defend my totem with Billy. :)

Your name and your post create such sweet irony.

[Wandering Flare]

You do realize, that it takes ~10 seconds to take down a brightly burning totem and her perk is gone, right?
If she lets you get a free save and you notice Devour Hope effect on you upon trying to fix a generator, you should probably be on the lookout for a burning totem.
Once you find it, she will get into a bad spot - cover generators or the totem.
So yes, it is balanced and challenging to play against. But what survivor wants a challenge, amiright?

Yours too.

[Terrorize Exercise]

3 free hook saves=Noed
5 free hook saves=Moris
All the while the single totem can be broken at anytime.

Long story short there is literally nothing broken about the perk whatsover. Its all super high risk with small reward.

[Guzma]

wont matter in 1.5 anyways
