Hook on top of Thompson out
So killers can camp the stair to prevent unhook!
And 1 gen camping comes free!
Pretty good job!

Waiting for the next threads, my masala is here for me to eat, and watch this #########.
Oh no, survivors can't abuse bad map design for guaranteed wiggle off/run back up/repeat.
What ever will we do now. Learn how to play with skill? Nah, just gonna cry about fair changes some more until they just replace killers with tutorial level AI bots.
There are a total of 7 generators in the trial. This is why there are sometimes 3 generator standoffs. So what if the killer blocks that generator? There are always going to be 2 more on the map.
Valid point. And I hear you. We shouldn't be creating more toxic looping areas. But there are a vast number of us who never abused the exploit of running up to the corner to avoid a hook in the first place. Fixing something that's unbalanced by unbalancing it in the other direction isn't really a fix.
If there was more than one way out from the top, it would balance it back out. Even if it's just another entrance to the same single staircase. Just to avoid anybody body blocking the only way in/out. That goes for survivors and killers.
I've only done it once without knowing it was an exploit. I was downed near the generator, and the basement wasn't there. I realized the killer could not get me to a hook in time, so I did not go back upstairs (because who in their right mind likes the constant game of getting downed, being almost carried to a hook, running all the way back up there just to repeat the process? I don't see that as fun for either party). I think it was a good call to add a hook upstairs, because honestly the upstairs felt rather lacking. If anything, the game gave survivors another legitimate reason to be upstairs (to unhook a survivor). Otherwise, the only business the survivor had being upstairs was either the generator or the chest.
I do disagree with the Thompson house upstairs practically being made into a second basement (with only one hook). There should either be a gap or a window on opposite sides of the house. I always hated the only way to get down was the staircase. If you are worried about looping, survivors will suffer from staggering, where (as far as I know) killers do not. It would only be an issue IF they are running Balanced Landing (which they would only be able to use the speed boost for one loop).
It's debatable if survivors should suffer from fall damage jumping down from that height (practically a 3-story drop). At that height, there could just be extra stagger. Alternately, there could be a hole in the floor to get below easier (like in the Game or the Asylum). In fact, the Asylum has multiple ways to get down from the top floor (a map where survivors could escape when they hear the heartbeat). Honestly, there also ought to be an upstairs (and downstairs, unless the basement is present) hook in the Asylum as well (same for Ironworks, there is a perfect spot for a hook up there). Give balance to these maps.
Overall, it's a good start, but there just needs to be another exit from upstairs, either a hole, a gap, or a window.
ok then child, you know everything counters this with killers without collision right
ill pick you up at 7 darling
what a crybaby...
Guess we should report you since you started the insults and meltdown.
How was that an exploit. It was 100% possible to get down from there unless they had riled up or whatever it is which nobody really uses or the killer was utter trash. I've gotten many people down from there.
The meat hole in the game is the same height and everyone uses it just fine. I mean the one you need to vault to go down.
You can do the same in the basement, why do you care?
The top of the Thompson house was a safe haven. If a survivor were to go down by the chest up there, the chances of a killer being able to carry them all the way back down and to a hook are significantly reduced. This new hook helps prevent a free escape.
TBH they should just make basement permanent on Thompson House. Putting a hook up there is a bad idea exactly because the killer can body block. It didn't fix the problem, just flipped it around so killer can do BS.
This map plus Preschool need permanent basements.
