#Progression = increased difficulty..the mayor's problem

So i really love how every time u complete a chapter and beat one of the neighbors the next one Is harder than the previous one:

The Cop Is the tutorial neighbor so pretty basic but still challenging,

Then there's gerda..her house Is way smaller than the One U faced before so now U Need to be waay more stealthy and It's hard to not get spotted by her,

Then there's the taxidermist, a neighbor Who can literally use traps and a shotgun against you so now U Need to be faster and more careful when U walk because U May step into his traps

And Peterson,as the final boss, has a really difficult house to navigate cause there a many cracking things on floor ecc.. and he Always stays at the entrance so U really Need to use all your abilities to win against him.

Now the problem Is: THE MAYOR

Because the mayor Is supposed to be the last challenge before the boss Battle with Peterson but really he Is SOOOO EASY!
ok he Is fast, but he Always stays at the ground floor and his house Is so big that U pretty much never have to deal with him and that's really a shame ...
U should do something to make that part of the game harder, like i don't know adding that he has cameras everywhere to see U or he Is able to call a bodyguard to help or maybe even call the Police(Leslie) to come and help capturing U..U should really do things like this imo because curtently his part Is a bit boring cause It isn't challenging..Mayor_thumbsup

Progressione difficulty..the mayor's problem

#

Progression = increased difficulty..the mayor's problem

ember crescent
#

They are gonna add a security system there are sounds for it in the files

broken jewel
#

Wow ...It sounds soo cool!

#

Do U agree with this suggestion?
I think mayor part Is waaay to Easy and It ruins the difficulty progression

ember crescent
#

Basically if you Walk in motion detectors the whole house

#

Goes into lockdown with doors and windows closing

broken jewel
#

Is It confirmed?

ember crescent
ember crescent
#

The lockdown thing now

#

They will also add chair blocking in the future

broken jewel
#

Well It's a relief because really all the other neighbors' game design Is really well studied right now while our jazz lover right here Just can't offer much of a challenge...

#

He should be at least slightly harder than otto

#

And he curtently definetly isn't

#

He Is even easier than the Cop☠️

#

And its a shame cause mayor Is My favpurite neighbor

ember crescent
#

I hope they readd his dancing task

broken jewel
#

Me tooooo😭

#

I want the old Song too

#

Cause the new One interrupts too soon

#

It was a banger

#

They took away a lot of his personality in final game

#

In beta he was the best character with best puzzles

ember crescent
#

Loved his character in the beta tbh

tardy beacon
#

yeah the AIs routines now are boring ngl they're pretty much scripted now based on puzzle progression

broken jewel
#

Yes...all the sleepy disk thing..best puzzle in hn history

tardy beacon
#

instead of them being able to do what they wanna do

ember crescent
#

Because it did a lot of things better then full game tbh

tardy beacon
#

the Beta was a cool build I liked it

broken jewel
broken jewel
#

I never understood Why people hated It
..It's my favpurite version

tardy beacon
#

it was buggy for sure but it was okay for the most part the neighbor couldn't even chase you up the stairs

#

at least from what i've experienced

broken jewel
#

Yes the ai was pure trash but the rest of things were perfect

ember crescent
#

The ai was garbage yeah but it felt less robotic for some reason in some aspects

broken jewel
#

The final game si Is actually pretty cool in main story...in free roam It becomes Stupid but Who cares..the importante thing Is that It's good in base game

ember crescent
#

Like it moved robotic

#

But it behaved more natrually

broken jewel
#

Yes with tasks
.Also reacting to you

#

I miss beta..

ember crescent
#

Play it

broken jewel
#

Like even otto vrafting ducks and shooting them,mayor dancing,gerda cooking

#

Tasks were longer while in final game they last two seconds☠️

ember crescent
tardy beacon
#

the Neighbor's car was one of his idle tasks

ember crescent
#

It makes no sense

tardy beacon
#

until it became a puzzle

ember crescent
#

😭

broken jewel
#

The task sistem Is the biggest problem curtently in hn2
Change My mind

ember crescent
broken jewel
ember crescent
#

I Think its one of the major reasons i cant enjoy the game as much as i want too

ember crescent

broken jewel
ember crescent
#

Yeah

broken jewel
#

I don't get Why they don't care about tasks at all...both developers and community...like..we seem tò be the only ones tò care..

ember crescent
tardy beacon
#

I mean it is helpful having crows fly to where you're supposed to go next and linear based but I think not knowing where you're going was probably fun

ember crescent
#

Havent you seen the feedback posts

#

Lol

tardy beacon
#

you could go wherever you wanted

#

in Beta

broken jewel
#

Everyone Is like
OMg ThE Ai iS sHit

But no One bothers tò see Cop spending the whole day looking at the floor in front of the house or the Librarian Just walking around trying to seduce Quentin☠️☠️☠️☠️

Oh good

Hope they notice

#

her AI is strange

ember crescent
#

I was really disappointed with mr Peterson in full game gameplay wise he seemed so cool in the devlogs

broken jewel
broken jewel
tardy beacon
#

late fees is not worth getting but I mean they did update it recently they put in a new cutscene but I'm not sure if there's anything else because they didn't release patch notes for the DLCs only for the main game iirc

ember crescent
#

It had gray manor atmosphere

broken jewel
#

Guys..late fees Is crap..but am i the only One to think that back to School Is a perfect DLC? It's soo good

#

Beautiful music, great characters,perfect location and great sad story

fleet flume
#

Best dlc yes

ember crescent
tardy beacon
#

back to school is alright it's definitely better than late fees but it's still iffy from here to there

ember crescent
#

Tbh

broken jewel
#

It's a really good experience

ember crescent
#

But it needs better ai

#

Tbh

fleet flume
#

Could be worked on more though

broken jewel
#

At least It's Better than Librarian ai

#

What's your top 8 neighbors??

#

Mines:

tardy beacon
#

it has a good story ig a man lost his best job and lost it and became a janitor

ember crescent
#

Your good at it

broken jewel
#

8)Librarian☠️
7)gerda
6)Nielsen
5)otto
4)janitor
3)Peterson
2)guest
1)mayor

tardy beacon
#

even resorting to making the kids he taught out of garbage

broken jewel
ember crescent
#

For hn2?

broken jewel
#

Mmh

#

My biggest wishes are

#

Task sistem reworked

#

Mayor being harder

#

Changed bossfight(like cmon..Peterson Is not the flash☠️)

#

Then more attention to details and foliage everywhere in the map

ember crescent
#

Maybe Make a feedback post about your thoughts about hn2 and what could be Done better

broken jewel
tardy beacon
#

they did make him a bit slower in the boss fight

#

in the patch notes

broken jewel
#

The fact Is that deva don't seem tò read the feedback section..they Just answer to bug reports

tardy beacon
#

for one of the hotfixes

ember crescent
#

Adam Said

broken jewel
ember crescent
#

They do actually read

#

Them they just dont comment

broken jewel
#

Then It would be cool to have a reward After U complete the dlcs in the main game like unlickung objects

tardy beacon
#

however what Adam said in devlog 3 the implementation and what makes sense for the game and its narrative

#

based upon the feedback

#

but I do think most of the feedback posted is perfect for the game and fits well

broken jewel
#

Also ...DLC IN MAIN MAP PLZ..It's like gaining free map dimensions by Just placing an already existing model in the main map and It Will make It larger

ember crescent
#

Yeah

#

But where thats the thing

#

I really would want it but you know

broken jewel
#

Back To school could be After U walk out of the swamp behind otto's house

#

It would take some work but they CNA manage to do it

ember crescent
#

I really want guest in the main map as well

broken jewel
#

But My biggest Wish for the game Is
To have two more neighbors:

Mith in Gray manor
And THE FREAKING FARMER I LOVE HIM WHERE IS HE WHERE IS HEEE

ember crescent
#

During night at least

broken jewel
ember crescent
#

I also hope they make ais be able to jump and climb ladders

broken jewel
#

Also...in Road map for 2023 they said

new characterS (Plural)
We only GOT the guest..☠️

ember crescent
#

Well Beatrix and mith

#

Too

broken jewel
broken jewel
#

It's such a cool and misterious character

ember crescent
#

I also hope they add mayak and perhaps gaap

broken jewel
#

Yeah MAYAK !!!
It should be the final structures with the guest tbossfight

#

Id love to see the story continuation in this way:

#

First location:the cult underground bunker ...U have to escape...

#

Then U find yourself in another forest with many Roads and a big gate with many locks..

#

Each Roads brings U to a location where U find One Key for One of the locks

#

Locations being:
Farmer's farm
Gray manor with MITH
Amusament park with vandals(where U help Beatrix Who GOT kidnapped by them)
And Mall with Leslie looking for u there

#

When U find the Key U open the gate and reach the MAYAK WHERE ALL NEIGHBORS CHADE U BUT GUEST SUMMONS A BIG STORM AND THERE'S a boos fight where all neighbors die exept Peterson Who Is convinced by Aaron to team up with u and togheter U defeat the guest

#

I know its completely Crazy and probably doesn't make sense for the lore but i love it

ember crescent
#

Yeah

#

Imagine they make mr Peterson live in gray manor for story expansion

broken jewel
ember crescent
#

It had a better atmosphere tbh

tardy beacon
#

||vector|| is coming

#

I mean it was cool ngl

broken jewel
#

Like i considera the frontal part of the Museum the one where U see the bathroom Windows because the curtent frontal part Is boring as hell

tardy beacon
#

but for the most part it was unfinished

broken jewel
tardy beacon
#

as it was an early concept

#

someone

ember crescent
#

And also sleeping puzzle

broken jewel
#

doing mayor's dance

ember crescent
broken jewel
#

With vandals kicking trash cans and doing graffitis at night

nimble elbow
nimble elbow
nimble elbow
nimble elbow

#

yeah like he gets discovered and runs away again this time to gray manor

#

in final game they ruined the graphic

Lockdown system would be cool if it ends up coming. Right now it’s too easy to just parkour around the outside with the fire extinguisher and avoid any confrontation.

tardy beacon
#

true

#

so, it is planned, but, we are not sure if they will add it or when they will add it

turbid jackal
#

thanks for the idea

this post is better then like 50% of the others here

#

You're right, but I think erie guest is working on a project for the mayor's security system, for example: If Quentin enters the mayor's house through the door without having entered the code the alarm will start to sound, and then the windows they will close

tardy beacon
#

ngl the Mayor's security system reminds me of that one scene from the first AS episode where Nicky tried escaping through a window but the neighbor closed it using a remote control locking Nicky in the room and caught him

It says unrealeased sublevels

#

Yee but mall sublevel its there since the playtest

#

They just didnt deleted it

mint fractal
#

not entirely sure if the police being corrupt is canon but, leslie being called to the hideout wouldn’t make any sense, given that Peterson is actively HIDING from them

#

but i agree, the difficulty needs to ramp severely the deeper you are into the game

#

each ai should have a different thing about it, not the same ‘spot, chase, develop dementia’ formula

#

a good idea for this is the footprint mechanic

#

namely, traps

#

remember the scrapped flour mechanic that was pitched for HN1?

#

HN2 already has footprint mechanics, and footprint tracking, so that sounds neat

#

the boss battle could imply that peterson stole a bit of everything from each resident’s place just to stop you

#

and please GOD make the exit better than a crowbar and a key

#

give it an actual puzzle element

#

give ted a reason to be a threat

half the time he just stares at you
