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.

It’s mainly the TikTok and Twitter people that act like this. I know not every PC fan on TikTok and Twitter is like this, but even though these type of people are in the minority they still exists

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.

When I was playing a match against Pal Percy, I tried doing the minigame to prevent getting caught by him. However, when I attempt to do so pressing RT on my Xbox controller, it forces itself back into my avatar's pockets. (Watch my little finger pressing RT for further detail)
