New Chase Mechanism (idea)
I was just thinking, we have two ways to escape (door or hatch) we have two objectives, one mandatory and one optional (gens and bones), but only one way to chase, which some feel is the most fun this game has to offer.
So while thinking about a new form of chase that could be implemented, I also thought about my least favorite moment in a match. An that is when it’s down to one survivor and the killer has found and closed the hatch. EGC starts and survivor and killer play a very lackluster game of cat and mouse at the doors, basically just testing the survivors timing and luck verse the killers prediction and powers.
Why not, in this specific scenario, when the killer closes hatch and both doors are still closed, and only one existing survivor is in the game, the EGC starts, the doors and hatch lock and all five totems respawn (or at least the ones destroyed already) and become hexed. The survivor has to race around and basically touch three of the five totems (not a normal cleanse but something much quicker) and the killer has to find and down the survivor before they do so. The EGC is going at the same pace as if a survivor is down or hooked. If the survivor achieves this, the killer is locked in place and the EGC resumes at regular speed. The doors and hatch open and the Survivor has whatever remaining EGC time left over to escape or gloat. If the killer downs the survivor, EGC returns to normal and they have a limited time to hook survivor or have the entity get them. As a lil bonus, maybe give the killers a free Mori option.
Figured this could get rid of my least fav moment in DbD, still use the same items already implemented in DbD (Totems and EGC), and give the game a lil fun real 1v1 mode to end the game in a more exhilarating bang. Right now, in this scenario, I just never see survivor till EGC kills them or I spot them at the door and they just stand and stare at me. No fun :(
Anyway just an idea, feel free to crush it or suggest better. Also I wouldn’t be against the idea of a map reset so survivors has every available pallet but I dunno how difficult that would be.
