Explanation

Dark Lord Warg's Fang addon is back to being broken.

In the addon description, it clearly states that it will reveal all survivor's auras whose scent orbs we have collected, whenever pounce attack becomes available. It does NOT say anything about "recently collected" or "since pounce attack was last used" or any other limiting factor. When Dark Lord was released, it was not revealing all survivor's auras, and only would sometimes reveal the most recent orb collected. This is clearly not as intended as described in the addon. However, recently it was fixed and was revealing all survivor auras whose scent orbs had been collected. It has been this way for several months. This was great, and clearly matched the addon's description. I cannot find anywhere in any patch notes mentioning any related changes to warg's fang. There was a change in 9.2.0 that changed the aura revealed time from 4s to 5s, but nothing mentioned about changing whose auras was revealed or any limiting factors.

HOWEVER... in 9.5.0, the addon is back to being broken, potentially because of this bug report (https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/459454/wargs-fang-aura-reveal-bugged). The description of the addon remains unchanged, and nothing is mentioned in the patch notes, but the functionality is now ruined. It is no longer revealing the auras of the survivors whose scent orbs have been collected, and only sometimes reveals the auras of survivors whose scent orbs were recently collected. There is no change to the addon description or clear indication of whose auras are supposed to be revealed or what is the trigger for aura revealing when using the addon. If you go by what the addon says, it should be revealing ALL survivor auras whose scent orbs have been collected, and that is what it had been doing for the past several months. This is obviously what the intention has been the entire time as per the addon description. It very clearly says "All survivors whose scent orbs you have collected". A wolf does not suddenly forget a scent after a few seconds, and this addon is clearly meant to imitate a wolves hunting instincts when tracking a scent across large distances. This can be countered by using anti aura perks, hiding in a locker, or hiding behind a generator. There are many other killer addons that reveal auras.

If this was not the intention, then the addon description needs updating to be clear about what the intended effect is. Otherwise, the addon is very misleading and has been the whole time. If you think revealing all the auras is too strong, change the addon, change the addon description, and inform the playerbase by mentioning any of these changes in the patch notes. Otherwise, please revert the unannounced changes made to this addon in 9.5.0.
