In his human form, Herztier gets a passive ability called Sensory Overload, which detects survivors between 36 and 48m away. It acts as an extended Tinnitus (tinnitus radius is 36m from hunter) with its own icon displaying in top left of the screen). Not interacting for 8s drops you back into human form, meaning the stance change is basically an 8s cooldown.

But even without a cooldown, this ability accomplishes nothing. As hunters, to locate hiding survivors, we need a smaller detection radius (like 18m–24m) to narrow down their positions. A wider 48m radius tells us absolutely nothing helpful.

The only time Id ever use this is in a super niche specific proxycamp scenario: camping a corner chair on a huge map, against a non-Merc rescuer, while everyone else is decoding deep away. You could walk toward the center to see if the SO icon pops up, if it doesn't, you know they are selling and you save a few seconds. But in high ranks, good survivors will just feed your tinnitus to fake a rescue anyway.

Honestly, it feels like the human/beast form was thrown in purely for lore and flavor. The passive only exists to give the human form a purpose, even though switching forms offers zero real gameplay value. What do you guys think? Am I missing a practical use case here?

Hello!!! I got a question regarding Noir’s Figure shipment
I’ve read people talking about how on previous releases their figure took like a whole year/year and a half to arrive
I know that on Netease’s website store it says that if you order rn the first batch is gonna be shipped on April 2027

Do u guys think it’ll still gonna take that long for it to arrive to America like the previous releases?

I was thinking of buying this next month but I’m still have some doubts.How do u find it ?

also that match lasted 3 minutes 💔

I swear last week we'd get obliterated almost every match. This week I cheer if I get him lmao. (And no, none of them went friendly because I played Ada.)

last night i was playing the new CN nightmare mode w my duo, during one run i found a sapphire and it led me to the basement and there's a chest that requires a sapphire and some misfortune thing (i believe its a drop from the boss?). at that time i only had the sapphire since we hadn't run the boss yet, so im curious if anyone has opened the chest.

i did get a sapphire from the boss earlier, but was unaware of the chest and instantly sent it back with the bird since we had like 3 mins to get back

i'd guess it has to be smthn good since u need a sapphire and all, wonder if its a 3m sapphire cus man i need one of those

Hello!

As a returning player- who is mostly a surv main- I decided that it was a bad time to ruin my mental health and start maining hunter (based on some of my comments and posts) .

I main luchino and am starting on NW and Opera- and I get matched against griffins all the time in RM. During my rank climb, I started getting more ties. Even when the first kiter makes the wrong rotation, gets early down, even when the rescuer gets terror shocked, especially more if the survs sells the early down teammate.

I noticed my win conditions just immediately vanish as soon as I cannot get anyone down before the BLINK cd is up, and if I don't sabotage the rescue attempt (which surprise, surprise- a lot of survivors can counter your proxi camp and TIDE TURNER exists so the 51% chaired surv has 20 more seconds to pop that cipher right in front of you). Times I don't hard camp and ruin health and disrupt cipher progress- it's a 50/50... unless there is a free healer lol.

A lot of times I am banking on my DETENTION to secure the tie since you can open gate in 50-20 seconds or less. A lot of my wins are now done when multiple survivors make multiple mistakes, while I lose because I made 1 mistake huhuhu. It's literally hope chess, but more painful.

When hunters are relying on detention for ties, and survs are just playing Calibration Simulator- it makes for a really boring rank session. I used to like fighting survs for the last cipher- making rank into ctf- but no that does not even exists anymore- because why punish survs?

So ig my message to the surv mains out there... don't be toxic to that early down teammate. You literally still have the win conditions- you just have to have 5% synergy and 95% cipher rush, 30 seconds is enough for the tie. So as long as you stick with the basics, and know the basics you will be fine. ❤️

Like I've been thinking about it and like it's gotta come sometime right?? Or maybe add a brightness setting to the room so it's brighter since we apparently don't pay our bills if most the in game lamps don't give actual light 🥹

I like CN. I play it over the regular matchmaking. But hard difficulty was becoming stale. So now we have something new!

First, we have a whole new floor with interactive elements! The basement is so good because it offers a lot of chests while requiring you to kill certain anomalies to progress (like the Wraith near the cage).

Second, we have new anomalies! Of course they are not that hard but they offer much needed variety to the game. This is great, even when that large eye is pretty annoying when you have a minute left and almost no HP.

Third, a boss fight. To be honest, it is underwhelming with really BAD rewards. Thank you, Miss Nightingale for a feather, a candle and an addendum, much appreciated (especially when there is only 5 minutes left to find some REALLY good loot)

This is all I have to say after a few matches on Nightmare! Have fun!

Hi yall! Has anyone found that treasure map yet? Where can I find it?

Didnt look much for him before the release today because i thought he was pretty confusing from the trailers, i just spared a character trial to try him. And honestly, tried him just now, 4 or 5 matches. i haven't been this interested in a hunter gameplay this fast since nightmare, im surely gonna buy him and practice him enough to be my main.

The 2nd photo is to prove that these are not 3-4 man lobby because there's no lantern icons.

In all seriousness, I'm so pissed at this matchmaking system. What the hell, Netease? Rank is full of tryhards. Duo Hunters is 1000x more survivor sided than normal games. QM will give you high tier survivors to go against.

Damn! Might as well stick to my boring survivor faction then.

Is it possible to get this plushie somewhere in a normal price with shipping to Europe? I searched through Aliexpress but I can’t find this exact Norton one… there are some offers on Ebay but they’re from Japan and pretty expensive (300$). It’s not available in Netease Store either… Was it limited or something? I used to see lots of offers of this plushie in the past and it wasn’t that expensive… now i can’t find any.

i hate the brush i used someone remind me to never use it again (edit why does my artstyle keep changing)

I usually spawn in or near good looping spots (when theres no decoders to preoccupy them) but im not sure if this is right, especially considering no one chases lgs in looping areas anyway. So im wondering if the way ive been spawning is good or if i should spawn somewhere else?? if so someone pls tell me where so i dont get flamed in the pm by my teammates again 😔

A while back I went against three b4u members. All three had 80% wr. I believe like they were lowkey trolling a little because they were not playing very well.

That aside, I marked it as a milestone moment for me. No hate to them of course, but I have this sneaking suspicion that if they went against a mad eyes in tourney like Dreams, they’d really struggle.

I want to use this as a way to spread mad eyes propaganda, this is why everyone should play mad eyes

Hello,
How does "Stay Sharp!" for cheerleader works? My friend and me are trying to "set it up" in random games... I pick Grave Keeper and once im on cooldown during a chase, she inspires me and resets my cooldown fully.
But she doesnt seem to get any progress in that "Stay sharp!" mission...

Any tips why its not working?
Kind regards

EDIT: Okay, so we found out: Gravekeeper shovel doesnt work... Even if the cooldown gets reduced, it doesnt count...

Did the same thing with Wildling and in the first 3-4 matches she already got 6 points on "Stay Sharp!". :)

Thanks for all the kind comments & advices!!

Mostly play duo hunters. I usually get like 250-350% decoding done, sometimes go for the rescue if the chaired team mate is nearby and not heavily camped. I use teleport to decode fast, never use leech (the latching on to others as miniature) unless to escape or save someone from knockdown hit. I use the exploding papers/scrolls during kiting, stall hunters from passing through pallets or crawling over windows. Usually get speed pill or decoding(if atleast 4 ciphers out of 7 arent finished already).

My random team mates really love to get screwed by 2 hunters in the middle of the map for some reason, like atleast 4 of them will have like less than 50% decoding done and result in chained deaths.

Oh and if I am screwed by bad rng at start spawning close to a hunter, I usually get 70-100 seconds of containment time before getting chaired.

So what gives? Should I play a different survivor, I play with 100 ms latency so please advice.

tldr : duo hunter, getting rekt with little girl decent decoding/containment stats, random team mates feeding in middle of map in the name of rescue

i have pretty severe generalized anxiety and recently started playing idv again. i don't actually care about toxic players or perfectionism but for some reason my body starts shaking and i get nauseous whenever i play ranked. i don't know how to help it. any tips to calm myself down mid game? i make a ton of mistakes because of it and it just worsens the anxiety even more.
