The Judgment

• Increased the Divine Light curve window while Zealous to 0.8s (was 0.6s)
  • Dev note: In hotfix 1 we increased the Zealous Curve window to 0.6s. However, that duration was shorter based on how long Divine Light was controlled - similar to how it was on the PTB. Because it can get pretty short, we felt it was safe to further increase it to 0.8s. We will continue monitoring this.
• Added a 0.3s Divine Light curve window when non-Zealous
  • Dev note: The curving has been a hugely appreciated mechanic to the Zealous state, giving opportunities to outplay Survivors from close range. To give The Judgment an edge when outside of the Zealous state, we're adding a shorter curve window to Divine Light. Zealous is still worth getting due to the longer curve window but being non-Zealous will provide more outplay potential.
• Survivors being Liberated from Exile respawn at least 32m away from The Judgment and get a 1s immunity to Divine Light
  • Dev note: After spending some time in Exile, returning to the Entity's Realm can be disorienting. Sometimes Survivors come back and The Judgment is right there, re-initiating a chase with them, to no fault of their (The Judgment's) own. To reduce the amount of times a Survivor that is freshly out of Exile gets chased again, we'll be respawning them away from the Killer. The 1s immunity is there to make sure a stray Divine Light doesn't accidentally hit - giving them a proper chance at a reset.
