Two big pieces of Dbd dev updates dropped- generally great changes to the game people have been asking for.

I'm not looking forward to boon totems. With this, there's even more safety nets in place that disturb the basic balance. The healing boon totem gives both Self-Care and We're Gonna Make It will be broken for mid-to-late game, where survivors will rush off to the distance to waste the Killer's time and effort. This is not taking into consideration perks like botany knowledge, medkits, add-ons, etc. I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking that survivors in the dying state will enjoy this boon totem if they somehow happen to be in the vicinity. The three-generator strategy will be taking a lot of hits now. Thankfully the Trapper was reworked, but will it be enough? Now, the boon totem that obscures scratch marks and aura-reading is definitely going to be a problem - survivors can now mindgame the killer in many ways at running speed.
Solo queue won't see too much use for these boon totems, but SWFs will. Additionally, it doesn't take long for boon totems to be cleansed by the Killer and it takes 15 seconds iirc for a survivor to set a boon totem up. Not to mention you would have to pick a location, so it's important to set it somewhere not in hearing distance of the killer and away from killer objectives. There's three things that are going to be a problem. 1.) The Killer doesn't have any totem-searching capabilities, so trying to find a specific boon totem by the sight and sound of it will take up time, something the Killer unfortunately will almost never have against the genrush. If the survivors are smart about their placement, the Killer won't find it easily. 2.) Boon totems will be really strong on multi-leveled structures. Think maps that have two-story buildings as large as the Asylum up to The Game. 3.) Boon totems can be placed more than once, and one at a time only.

Actually, I misspoke about the killer have no totem-searching capabilities. You do have them, like Hex: Retribution and Hex: Undying, but only the latter is consistent with giving results. And unfortunately, the second perk is more for locating survivors, not boon totems. You can figure out what survivors are doing next to these totems, but only if you're looking during the duration.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the next killer(licensed or original) will come with perks to balance finding and hexing totems.

I don't believe I'm making too many conclusions. This stuff will happen if there are no changes. Thankfully Behaviour has reworked some mechanics before they made it out of testing. (i.e. Prove Thyself was broken back when that perk and Legion were being tested. iirc the devs decided to nerf the progression speed and only allow one instance of that perk to work at a time. That version was what was released to the public.) Either way, people will complain about this stuff after learning how fast two people can heal someone with botany knowledge and sloppy butcher in play. I watched a video about the perks and it's so fast that the heal can be completed before the Killer's successful basic attack cooldown end. Apparently medkits don't stack with the healing boon totem perk, so that's good. I've also read word that multiple survivors can bring the boon totem perk and spread them all throughout the map, but I've yet to confirm that one.
Even if Behavior doesn't make changes before release, the perks and boon totems in general will definitely see a rework after all the complaints pile up.

Seeing the aftermath of the boon totems, I can say they're pretty annoying perks to deal with. The healing boon perk is honestly the best healing perk in the game. The developers thankfully increased the amount of time needed to bless a totem, but that is simply just a band-aid. As a killer, this perk can be a hit-or-miss if only one survivor uses it. If several use it, well, damn. On certain maps like Backwater Swamps and Raccoon Police Department, there are areas that the killer will almost rarely go to, because of the lack of objectives. For Backwater Swamps, it's the corners of the map. For Raccoon Police Department, it's the third floor. One time I was a survivor on hook, I once saw two survivors head up to the third floor and bless a totem with the healing boon up there. When I finally got off that hook, I was able to heal all the way down from the first floor. One big blue field by itself can be broken on certain maps.
Personally, I think the best way to rebalance boon totems might be not to touch the perk at all. Instead of that, implementing an indirect nerf by including a healing cap and changing around totem locations may solve a lot of problems. See, healing boon totems by themselves aren't too bad. The problems start stacking up when you throw in other perks that increase healing speed and when the totems are in places nobody visits. As a survivor, finding these secluded totems isn't much of a problem, especially when you're in a SWF. (Some fellows will even only begin doing generators when the Ruin totem is down.) If you're the killer, well, you don't have the luxury of hiding around that survivors enjoy. You're constantly pressed for time as you compete against four people.

Not bad. Almost all the DLCs here on HB are slightly cheaper compared to the steam sales. This is why it pays to look at key seller websites to compare prices.

Today should be working the code FORHONOR por a stupid charm. I can't believe the collab on For Honor is the ***ng trapper killing heroes and 'regular mobs' with Legion masks and DBD just got a silly stupid charm barely who's really hard to notice while playing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I honestly think this was more ubisoft asking for a collab than BHVR, hence why For Honor got the better side of the deal

Heads up: Alienware Arena is doing another DbD event, but not keys around levels like usual. Log in each day to get something, days 4 and 5 are A Binding of Kin and Hour of the Witch. Because it’s a login there shouldn’t be any level requirements. The post does say that keys are limited and I think AAs clocks reset around midnight EDT. But check it out, hopefully people can snag a couple DLCs!

“na” might need to be replaced with your country, if it doesn’t automatically adjust
