How can we make the hook phases more dynamic?

NMCKE

Instead of me suggesting something, I wanna hear it from the amazing community. Go for it y'all.

im not sure what you mean "more dynamic" like we throw them on the hook now how much more aerodynamic can it get

Which amazing community exactly? I would really love to check that out.

Basically how can we make the hook phases more special, more taste, and not a AKA simulator for 1 minute then mashing simulator for another minute!

I'm definitely not talking about our community.

Now I am imagining a basketball star killer who dunks survivors on the hook.

When you find out let us know too

Its been suggested already and I liked the idea.
The suggestion was remove the brainless hammering while struggling into a continous series of skillchecks that you have to hit (similarly to snaping out))

Phase 1 = Slightly difficult skill checks. The bar will decrease slower than normal but skill checks every 3-4 seconds will keep survivors in their tows. A missed skill check will decrease the bar by 2%.

Phase 2 = Extreme skill checks. The bar will not decrease unless skill checks are missed. Skill checks happen continuously after one is hit or missed, the next one will happen immediately. Missed skill checks decrease the bar by 5% (need to miss 20). The skill checks will be as difficult as DS checks.

Note that perks can affect these skill checks, but killer powers and add-ons cannot. 
Doctors madness will not breed impossible DS skill checks, but unnerving presence will.

This brings me into the next topic which is a rework of Monstrous Shrine.
For hooks in the basement, The first hook phase will progress 5/7/9% faster. The second hook phase will passively decrease at .5% per second. Missed skill checks will increase the hook phase penalty by an additional 1/2/3%

For nonbasement hooks, missed skill checks will give an additional 0/1/2% penalty

Wow, thank you for the feedback! I have mixed feelings about there being skill checks during the first phase of sacrifice since there's no possible way to unhook yourself without missing a skill check accidentally but I most agree with you. To put it simply, your suggestion for phase two is like @Master but with more things on it. Great suggestion.

Love the suggestion, maybe hitting one the skill checks on the first hook would let you be free maybe a 1% considering the amount of skill checks there would be

I too like the suggestion and maybe after so many skill checks you have an almost impossible skill check to get yourself off the hook.

Ooooo why not have I you hit 5 skill checks without missing any you can dehook stage one

Skill checks are a stupid idea. I don't really see a need for change here.

HellDescent

Replace the infamous button mashing with 15-20 skillchecks, unaffected by any status effects. Each failed skillcheck will deplete your hp bar by 10%

Skil lchecks on the hook might be nice. Especially funny if skill check perks and effects like the doctors effected them as well haha

Please provide reasoning and justification on why you disagree instead of saying "It's Stupid Idea". This is a discussion, after all.

That plus Lullaby would be a hell on Entity's realm.

For starters when you are on the hook I think a knock off version of Wii Fit should play a video of Hook aerobics that you can follow along with, you know to really work those tendons.

Secondly I think you should be able to swing while on the hook so you can try and go for the "big swing" up and over the bar. This lets you really show those other playground kiddies that your the big boy/gal on the field.

Lastly why not let the hooked survivor keep the metal portion of the "hook" as a souvenir to show their friends back home? Its not everyday you get placed on a meat hook.

Perfect.
