Hex: Devour Hope

[Tristam]

So I wanna state my opinion on this perk and whether its op or not op.


So I played around with this perk a little bit on my wraith, hillbilly and obviously the hag. I could kill (meaning killed "by your hand", dead, out of the game, gone) more people with it than I played rounds with it, like ~18:~20. The perk is a lot of fun but far from op. I would rather say its up, not because of the stats or the buffs it gives, but more because how easy it is to counter. I had had the ABSOLUTE WORST spots for the totem that destroyed my perk and in some games the perk was disabled before I stopped my first chainsaw sprint or placed the traps I wanted etc.. Finding the totem you need to guard is freaking stupid sometimes because now Im not looking for gens/survivors first, Im looking for my totem so I wont lose my insane perk (I would say the related totem should be blended in purple and the others as they are). But if you do have a good hiding spot for your totem the perk is so damn good. Like I already said I have a lot of fun with this perk and its definitely a perk Im going to use pretty often.


But I got a question, if you have the perk on 3 (mine is currently on 2) and you get the first token, will the survivors see the debuff ? Like with dying light or the chains, red little icon in the down right corner letting them know they have a debuff. If it does, I wont get the perk to level 3 I want them to know that its too late when they get insta downed.

And yes, I think the survivor sees the debuff. Which will tell them you have the Perk and will tell them to hunt the totem

That's where I'm at, currently. Great choice : "Take the perk and get worse or don't take it and get it every level"

I will test it out now and I can say if they see it or not, got it on 3 on my hag ;)

"Hey look, I have that strong perk I can stack, go destroy the totem asap! You know, that one I just dropped in the middle of the street!"
Great job devs.

Same, gonna stockpile points and get "the other perk" from the bloodweb.
I think I'll just drop the perk anyway because of the totem spawns making its usefulness too random (most of the time useless)

When you get tokens, do they stay or do you use them up if you kill a survivor?

The stacks stay until the totem is cleansed.

Which sucks, because I too have experienced terrible totem placements. I literally run to the totem asap in matches to trap it, but it's usually destroyed by survivors before I even make it halfway across the map to it.

This is really bad luck ... but you still managed to reach level 1 despite this awful location xD



By contrast, there are some annoying totems that can't be destroyed due to bug that should be easily fixed in future patches oOo

Billy with Whisper, indestructible totem and Mori-enabled ability with Devour Hope

End of game was obviously awful ... from a survivor point of view ;)

Well you might so it goes away for good and you wont be getting it in future bloodwebs. I just had this idiotic perk start appearing in my bloodwebs. So now I have both monstrous shrine and hex: devour hope appear in my every bloodweb until I get either to lvl 3. Marvelous. Devs, please add some variance to the bloodwebs so it doesnt repeat perks THIS much...

Well, on positive side, that should give you good opportunity on ambushing the surv that goes for it..?
