Petrified oak - Now useless?

[Hidden]

Your opinion on this change?

Better, Before it would only take away 1 hook, now it can take away at least 2.

WIth the hooks spaced out as they are, I would say it's even better than before. Have not studied this yet but that's my intellectual undestanding of it. Will try in a game soon and go full sabo.

Useless as is the killers version of it. We tried putting 3 oaks in couple of matches and there was no visible difference. Killer was hooking us normally and i didnt see that there would be a larger areas without hooks.

According to dbdwiki:
Each Map has a minimum and maximum amount of Hooks that may spawn on it:
-Hooks must have a minimal spawn distance in-between each other unless the minimum amount of spawns is not reached, then they may spawn closer together.
-This minimal spawn distance may be affected by Offerings.

So hooks can spawn closer to each other even if you used the offering(s).

I think the survivor version of the offering might actually help the killer and vice versa, because then the hook distribution is more even in the map. There is always maximum amount of the hooks in the map and if they are all close together then there is no hooks in other areas.

Such a shame they had to kill sabotage tactic but it is what it is.

It depends on the implementation of the hook spawn algorithm. If they spawn hooks by a default distance (not to confuse with the minimal hook distance) and all hooks have a somewhat even distance between each other, then this is possible. If they spawn hooks by a number of hooks, then no.

Killers will obviously get hooks easy enough, but it should make bodyblocking more viable

If the range to put hook get increase ( but of course you can’t put it too far away for obvious reason) body block get already improve ...

The hook offerings are crap. Survivors is slightly, killers is considerably and the hooks are close enough anyway. I’ve used the offering, used breakdown and running in an area where there was no hooks in sight and killer still made it to a hook in the middle of the map lol
If it was the game map, diff story all together. I had people put the offering on and I couldn’t hook a person on the lower floor at all...😂
