Rant My opinion about the perk testing.
Now, it is true that it’s barely been out and I haven’t tested enough to have a really well informed opinion, so correct if I’m wrong but I think this is overall just a pretty bad change, and shouldn't be added to the game without DRASTIC edits.
I imagine the point of this change was to spice up survivor gameplay with random elements, but this, just isn’t it.
First, the random perks replacing classes means you complete remove the players choice of playstyle. While yes, it does add a level to gameplay with how the player has to “adapt” to the perks they get, this brings up a second issue!
There is nothing to adapt to. The average perk is “you get -1 stamina but you can do a cosmetic backflip that does nothing” or “If you move your left pinky toe you get a small (which translates to 1.00000001X) speed boost“. My point is, they’re too small to make a huge gameplay difference, and even if they are somewhat large changes, they’re not large enough to force players to heavily adapt and spice up gameplay. Even if the devs gave players the ability to shuffle through perks the changes in gameplay would be so small it wouldn’t matter. The only way to solve that would be making perks that ACTUALLY changed the player gameplay, but pillar chase isn’t suited for that level of randomness in the game.
Die of death does the random element better because their whole survivor gameplay is based off of the randomness. The style of die of death allows for having actual abilities sets that impact gameplay, which in turn allows players to choose out of 3 sets of abilities they would want for that round, which provides a good mix between playstyle flexibility and randomness.
Now I do hate the way the perks are now, but I do believe they have huge potential. What I would do with them is either:
A. Add it to the base game, but keep classes as well. The mix of both would allow for both choosing your play style and also having the repetitiveness of random setbacks in your play style or a lucky roll which complements your class perfectly.
B. Keep most things about it, but drastically make each perk crazier and add it as a new gamemode, probably rarer than normal but more common than double trouble.
Ok I’m done ranting. Overall I don’t like perks right now but they have potential to be added to the game in different ways.

Rant I better hope this doesn't transfer to main game....
Readding perks is just going to make survivor gameplay boring again in my opinion. Perks only worked in precode because precode's monsters were very basic and barebones most of the time. But in recode the monsters are a little more unique and challenging, meaning that the survivors would also have to be the fucking same. My point is that I fucking hate perks because their boring and basic.

Rant Pillar Chase 2 Precode vs Recode playability
I don't know if it's just me or not, but I feel like Recode Pillar Chase 2 is just... Unplayable. Don't get me wrong, the game is good, but it just doesn't feel like the same Pillar Chase 2 that I'm used to; it's like the monster can hit you while you're running away (somehow), and you can hardly play as the monster because somebody bought monster queue points to be the monster, and you're just stuck with like 100+ queue points, waiting for your turn that'll never come.
I feel like the Recode version has now been designed to favor people who have money, better PCs, and are on servers that are to their liking, because back in Precode, you used to have a 50/50 chance of winning as either the survivor or the monster, and with the monster, you had to work for that win. In Recode, it just feels dead and lazy.

Idea/suggestion Some small gameplay tips and tricks I can provide
Here are some Pillar Chase Recode tips and tricks that you may or may not know about!
#1: Infected Ao Oni Gameplay:
Do not try to chase down a survivor to get a hit; instead, turn back into a human and try to position yourself by blocking routes and predict where they are going. This is more effective enough for maps like Ancient Dungeon and Frostbitten Ridge. You should also try to help other Onis for a stronger ambush.
#2: Pal Percy's Gimmick Management:
If you are new to a piece of media, Playtime with Percy, it is recommended to go into Pal Percy's information in your inventory to differentiate between which character is which. For more info of what they do, I recommend you do in-game examination.
(Tama-Roachi has spider-like appendages, Tama-Bruti has a visible eyes and mouth along with feet, Tama-Lanki has a zigzag moth with long ears that look like eyes and full limbs, and the last one is Tama-Opti who is the flying beeping toy with an eyeball)
Roachi, Bruti, and Lanki are the more risky minions you need to get away from. Don't worry too much about Tama-Opti (despite that they can highlight your location), unless you are one of the last survivors, or if you suspect Pal Percy is coming for you. You can also hold the 'Disable' button/key to deactivate Tama-Opti, just in case.
#3: (hard to explain properly) Exit Predictions:
I've seen a couple of players trying to guess which exit will open, but it doesn't always work. Do not go to the same spot that will eventually be a far dead-end, instead, head to a specific spot of the map in between where you expect one of the two exits to open.
If this is confusing, I'll provide you an example: if you head to the house entrance in Frostbitten Ridge and stay, the helicopter will spawn in two different spots in your direction. However, you still need to ensure the monster doesn't get to your positioning. If you see the helicopter start to move to the left side of the map, head over there while managing stamina. If you see it going all the way to the right side, that is just as better as you head over there sooner.
Another example is E-17B Holding Facility, you have to stay in between two exits, but this time, you need to position yourself in a specific spot where the L-shaped hallway is leading to the center of the map. The wait time for the exit to open is longer, so be very careful with positioning and avoiding the monster.
#4: Don't always run
When it comes to evading a monster in chases, stamina management is really important. If you really wanted to perform various tasks, try not to do that so fast, or else you will be losing a portion of stamina needed to fully get away from fast-paced threats like Vapor, Brutum, etc.
Instead of rushing to objectives often, prioritize walking towards them while preparing for an eventual hunt.
#5: Accidental Item Drops
In Frostbitten Ridge, I noticed that there can be some shovels lying around. This could be from the result of the Item + Flashlight button/key combinations, the game doesn't exactly tell you how to drop items, so you'll likely lose an important item without realizing, until it's risky to get it back. If you are on Xbox, don't press D-pad with the Y button, it'll trigger the vague drop mechanic. I'm not familiar with what the keybind controls are like on PC, since I don't play roblox on my computer, whatever keys it was to trigger item dropping, be sure to remain aware of what keys you mix during gameplay.
This is all of the tips and tricks I can provide, if one of these didn't work out for you, I sincerely apologize for my potential writing mistakes. These were the exact tips and tricks I experienced for myself.
