I swear, I cannot tell if you developers even care about this game anymore. Otto had no reason. to get added. The traps, brave rework, and journalist had no reason to get added either. I can suggest a few things to fix this game, but I’ve honestly lost hope for it now. Here it goes anyways.

1: Seriously, just get rid of Otto. He is in no way a stealth class and all he does is change the whole point of the game.

2: Fix the matchmaking. Why can’t I get one match where I don’t lose to tryhards all the time?

3: What were the random traps supposed to do again? I promise you that if this was just supposed to make the game less repetitive, you may have instead just ruined 60% of the gameplay with these. Thanks.

4: Remove the journalist too. What is the point of him as a team based class? All he can do is basically dash. Plus, he is a literal adult. Making him a kid class makes no sense whatsoever.

5: Fix. These. Bugs. There are still so many bugs here from the literal release of the game to right now. I would definitely like it if I didn’t just die because the neighbor didn’t want to drop me even when he was damaged please.

I know people are definitely not going to agree wiht some things here, and that’s fine. You can give me your opinions. I’ll respect them. I’m just saying from my perspective that this game is less enjoyable than it is to drink a cup of saltwater, and I really want to still enjoy it, yet I can’t if nothing gets fixed.
Please, if possible, just take some notes please. Seriously, I want to go back to being able to enjoy this game.

#

I know the devs are working on Sand, but I feel like they should at least save themselves some time to fix some stuff with this game, even just some bugfixes would be a joy.

Fr. Like an ADULT should not be in a kid class. Otto is op and the game has not been updated in a while.

The wardrobe bug needs to be fixed as soon as possible

#

You know what bug I’m talking about the one that is what makes this game unplayable for the explorers

steel granite
#

so the one that just makes people randomly stuck in a closet and just unable to move for the whole game

inland carbon
#

That one and the other one

#

Although that one bug can be very helpful if you’re playing against a taxidermist, who is a try hard getting rid of them is such a relief. Sure, it’s unfair but hey, they decided to so aggressively

#

And that’s a fact

#

The two wardrobe bugs where you get stuck in the wardrobe has been in the game for the longest time The wardrobe bug were the neighbor timer is instantly bypassed apparently is a bug that was fixed but for some reason, the same bug is happening again in the current version

#

Not to mention, for some reason, it instantly reloads scouts ammo sometimes, and sometimes it only gives her 3

steel granite
#

yeah, also there was a literal bug where when the neighbor grabbed me, we somehow just got teleported to a trash can (i dont think it was even a hacker either)

steel granite
inland carbon
#

Game probably thought you were an item so you got teleported to the trashcan that teleports key cards and keys very weird bug

#

Not to mention how it’s straight up stop working in the update before this meaning that neighbors could just hide the key in his room and there’s literally nothing the explorers can do

steel granite
inland carbon
#

The amount of bugs and glitches this game has just makes it almost infuriating

#

Same

#

Only once though

#

I also got a match for some reason the players were separated into a team of four and two but the second player who was apparently neighbor wasn’t neighbor it’s very weird

#

All I know is the player that for some reason was on the same side as the neighbor left before the match started

#

Very weird

#

i honestly just want a reboot for this game now because theyve basically taken all the stealth aspects away from the game now

inland carbon
#

A reboot that has nothing to do with removing taxidermist probably just bug fixes in an overhaul changes that completely changes the game

steel granite
#

idek at this point, i just wish they would be glad theres still like a very small amount of people in this world (maybe even the server) that still support the game and continued to actual update it more and improve the update quality again

#

and ofc, just fix the bugs that have literally been here the whole time

ive already seen this, and while its nice to see, but im just hoping their discussions are being discussed about the right fixes for sn and stuff like that

  1. The online in game is already small, and with this innovation it will become even difficult to find a game in quick game

  2. Random traps supposed to make explorer game more difficult

  3. What is the point of bagger as a team based class? Not all classes need to be team based

While I understand what you’re saying, I’m still going to say my problems with what you said here.

2: What I mean is just a better way so that everytime someone gets neighbor, it’s not completely impossible to win as because the players are all just tryhards.

3: I know, but they don’t need to just put like five smoke traps in one room out of nowhere. The amount of traps at least should be lowered more.

4: If someone needs him to hold an extra key, he probably can if he needs to. That’s basically teamwork. Also, did they not encourage teamwork in this game a long time ago?

Better kill neighbor right now if you see him, or die when he's behind your back

inland carbon
#

They could just increase the stun time when hitting the neighbor and give the neighbor more invincibility frame so you can actually get away

#

If This game supposed to be a stealth horror again then the threat should be be able to be stunned for longer to escape them

shrewd rune
#

What about that the neighbor too can throw items

#

And he didn't have stamina for throws

inland carbon
#

That shouldn’t even be a thing at least for quick game

shrewd rune
inland carbon
#

I mean the neighbor shouldn’t be able to throw things he wasn’t able in the original which was Secret Neighbor based about

steel granite
# shrewd rune And he didn't have stamina for throws

Yep, that's just another problem. With his longer stun time onto kids, it just lets neighbors easily box spam people to death still. I doubt this was even intentional, but if it was, it doesn't really help and doesn't make sense.

inland carbon
#

The explorers could just have less stun time then the neighbor

#

And honestly, if they don’t want the neighbor to just spam boxes, then why don’t they just introduce a breakout feature for the first grab?

#

I mean, yeah brave has an ability for that but at the same time most of the time you’re just sitting duck

shrewd rune
#

Even stamina for throws not help

inland carbon
#

Literally bagger has been shown he’s capable of escaping by bashing the neighbor with an arm bash, but that that point it’s just unoriginal

#

Talking about the animated series

#

I’m making an example here

#

  1. No he does not change the whole point of the game people just dont know that your supposed to be secret neighbor thats why you got that idea

  2. Crossplay is bad Xbox is Crossplay Compatibale with... xbox for pc and ps and nintendo are compatible and pc and ios arent compatible with anything

  3. People were finding keys too fast but that doesnt matter anyways as traps are more of a temorary annoyance but escape and complete the game in 5 seconds none the less

  4. No he was added becuase quentin his dash ability is overpowered if you chase him as a neighbor well you cant there is 2 classes that can keep up being ghost and guest (hes not a kid class hes an explorer class)

  5. They. Dont. Playtest. Please explain the bugs you're having a problem with otherwise theyll never know what your talking about and will emd up causing worse bugs anyway

  1. Agreed
  2. Skill based matchmaking was already requested. But it will just make joining games harder with the current online situation.
  3. Whats wrong with traps? They are supposed to make your gameplay harder, wich isnt bad, but more interesting.
  4. Its not kid class anymore. Its renamed to Explorer class. Without the consideration of lore, Journalist is a pretty good addition in my opinion.
  5. Agreed

The traps are very reasonable to get added. The only problem with them is how they spawn and it’s RNG.

Sorry, I just read this and just wanted to point out my complaints with some of these.

2: That’s not what I meant. I meant maybe the neighbor picking should actually be random instead of targeting the same person for being neighbor everytime they go against a full team of just some tryhards.

3: I get that, but when they are all literally right next to each other, it doesn’t make it that interesting, just annoying and time consuming. I’d at least want them to be more spread out or something.

4: Please elaborate more, because his class still makes no sense to me.

steel granite
# woven tinsel 1. No he does not change the whole point of the game people just dont know that ...

Guess I’ll state my opinions on this too.

1: He literally can just down you in about 2 shots. That’s literally just completely combat related and is not relevant to the game’s actual focus, stealth (I guess.)

2: I never said I wanted more crossplay. Heck, I would probably never want any just to prevent the spreading of the amount of hackers still somehow playing this game.

3: That’s not really the case when you have 3 smoke traps right next to each other then a random beartrap. That’s just straight up annoying, because you’re literally just open to be caught and you can’t do much about it.

4: I get the explorer thing now I guess, but the dash kind of just opened up many skips. Map 3 is basically just so broken when there’s a Quentin in the game that knows about every skip.

5: I have literally reported bugs before, yet they have not gotten fixed, including the ones that have been in since the game’s release. Also, them making new bugs is not anyone’s fault. They literally just appear if I’m being honest and then just ruin the majority of the gameplay.

  1. I still dont really understand what are you talking about. From what I understood, you say that there is a higher chance to become the neighbor if you are high-level PVP enthusiast. If so, I understand your complain. Because I also noticed that in 60% of the games I play, the secret neighbor is usually high-level. However, Im not sure if its scripted like that, or if its just a coinsidance.
  2. My bad for not understanding your point. But yeah. That should also get fixed. I believe it can get fixed by making traps have a 5 meter radius, where other traps cant spawn.
  3. I dont really understand why Quentin is being hated. The most popular reason is because he isnt a kid, and that doesnt match with the lore. Well, In my opinion, its pretty stupid to hate on him just because of lore reasons. He is the first new explorer class after 5 years. So, in my opinion, his addition made the game funnier, more interesting and maybe less repetitive. I doubt devs want us to take SN seriously at this point.

I guess I can understand what you’re saying. Also, I’m pretty sure the high level neighbor picking isn’t a coincidence. It may just be scripted. I have no clue, but I guess it’s somewhat manageable (sometimes.) Also to be honest, it’s hard to take SN seriously nowadays, but it’s also really not that fun now unless you’re playing with friends (which is probably a bit hard to find some considering how much this game died down.)

SN was supposed to be where Nicky is being saved from the basement. I believe devs want us to take HNVR more seriously with this Nicky saving theme. SN is just a fun spin off at this point

It’s not cannon to the story anymore because Quentin breaking it with a bunch of children

SN is not supposed to be canon anymore

it was supposed to be kids' imagination at the first place. They can imagine that Quenting joined them, cant they?

My theory is that I do get it because TinyBuild might be adding alot more to the franchise or other games, but however may not have enough time to update the truly, unique, horror, multiplayer game which most of us desired to play. But there is no sign of a 2024 update coming later this year unless its a complete miracle.
What do you guys think? 🤔

#

they changed it from kid to explorer

#

but those random traps do get on my nerves..

#

they could be placed better or atleast make them avaible as placeable with a limit of them of like 5

#

and 1 in every room

wet mica
# left quiver but those random traps do get on my nerves..

They put traps to style the gameplay but yeah ur right. Also POV: Its just u and the neighbor, u suddenly find the last key. When you exit the room, you get bear trapped. Meaning that ur gone for good since it sends a help signal and that gives the neighbor ur exact location.

Beartraps are pretty cool since i never see scary neighbors or when there are scary neighbors they dont place beartraps which are actually good but you just need to think. They actually do help me to kill grouped kids! Especially on missing or wanted on the stairs where its a little darker they got stuck and the rest of the kids ran away, i catched the stuck one. And the lasers arent that bad, you can just throw something to the laser or deactivate it. But if they are placed like a total piece of trash (dont wanna swear here and by that i meant for example: there is a laser on a bed that faces the bed so there isnt really a way to get into it) then they are annoying.
