PLEASE do something about "missed skillchecks" when i just want to leave the gen
this mechanic is so annoying, honestly, please do something about it, it just cost me a game because i wanted to give my medkit to someone and then i couldn't finish the gen, it's so godamn annoying and it always happens in the worst situations. This ######### is outdated as hell.

Rofl. Sure. It's not intended because it's not in the tutorial, and I'm biased. 👌 I had no clue you had such insight into the developer's minds!
Sorry you can't accept being wrong. It's intended. You can either deal with it or scream into the wind about how you're right because you said so. And sorry you must demand buffs to Survivors simply because they want them, like spoiled toddlers. Good luck demanding BS, unneeded buffs.
You're here saying that I'm claiming you're wrong because "I said so" when you're doing the exact same thing
Here's the thing; I'm using my brain to realize this is how the game has worked since launch and thus; it's more than likely intended.
I'm also not using bullshit like 'quality of life' as an excuse for a blatant Survivor buff.
You're the one who can't accept that you're wrong.
Except I've given valid reasoning for my counter-arguments until you devolved into 'NOOOO! I'm right because I said sooooo!' ranting and whining.
You are wrong. Period.
Except I'm not. Period. 😘
The explosion is not meant to do this.
Says the person with no facts or actual logic to back up their claims. Just 'Because I said so'.
Get over it
I'm not the one who has to get over being wrong, because I'm not the one who's wrong. Sorry.
stop playing off unintended features that you couldn't win without "intended."
Rofl. 'could not win without', the usual Survivor bullshit 'You need this crutch!' baby-rant when y'all are countered by actual facts and logic.
Also; it's intended. You crying otherwise does not make you right just because you scream really loud. Suck it up.
Ok fine I said the gen will not progress lol. Which means exactly that the gen would not progress.
Stuff in games don't need to make sense. We don't question why survivors can be totally fine with some rubbing after being impaled through a lung. There just needs to be smooth gameplay that doesn't introduce things a player cannot react to and then punish them for it.
Did you know that it might take over 40 seconds to not get a single skill check. Do you suggest that survivor needs to be locked in animation and just wait.
Here's an example. Meg is repairing gen and Nea is coming there injured asking for healing. Well Meg lets go and same time skill check appears. Is that really killer playing right when he doesn't have anything to do with it.
I've seen that many killers want jigsaw boxes to not be random based. How this is any different to it?
They fixed auto fail skillchecks on medkits, when you get them while your medkit just depleted, so it should somehow be possible to fix them on gens as well. The skillcheck should just auto-fail when you leave the gen when the skillcheck is already visible
Skill checks are random and can come up one after another.
Whether it is intended or not, it's a frustrating 'feature' that punishes for something a player had no control over.
Honestly I think if they just give a 1 or 2 millisecond window in which the gen doesn't explode it should be ok. Something not fast enough to purposely avoid.
I oppose it because it's a stupid change that directly buffs Survivor gen repair times while using the bullshit lie 'quality of life' to hide that fact.. Though it's clear Survivor mains will cry and whinge and pout about how unfair it is that gens pop when they leave them.
Because how DARE anything in this game actually work against Survivors! May as well remove gen popping all together! All it does is punished NEW Survivors! Let's try to get those gen times down below 5 minutes! Maybe, if you cry hard enough, you can double repair speeds and ALSO claim it's 'quality of life'! Because it's unfair that Killers can kill people! Survivors should only leave the match when they want too! 🙃
Gen popping is intended until a dev says otherwise. But that won't stop Survivors from stomping their feet, pouting, and then saying evil 'Killer mains' are opposing 'unintended' mechanic changes because they want to win with cheap mechanics! 😥
Yeah, they should be swapped with how Overcharge works.
IIRC, Overcharge was supposed to have some potential for punishing gen-tappers who do it to halt regression. Since, even if they tap the gen, they still get the skillcheck and theoretically would set it off (Exploding the gen, and doing some instant regression.) Well, since the skill-check doesn't auto-fail when you let go, survivors can do stuff like this:
I definitely think overcharge should insta-fail if you let go. Would it make Overcharge good on anything other than impossible skillcheck doctor? Not really, but it would take it from a D tier perk to a low B tier perk, (You now have a slight "Counter" to gen-tappers) which is still an improvement.
It doesn't even make sense to hit skill checks after leaving the generator. Also, overcharge is a joke.
And missing skillchecks you physically cant hit because you never saw it makes perfect sense?
In my experience of hiring, we always check skills through multiple 4 factor verification checks.
1: Asking
2: Asking twice
3: Previous Employer
4: Hidden cameras (like prank patrol (IYDKYDK)
5: Whether they can fid wally or not
We carry these thorough protocols and checks before hiring for positions whether its for a Shower assistant, baseball coach, eraser, or a pancake mix chef.
If the process is upheld and consistent there will be minimal retardant embodying persons passing through to your employee ranks.

Maybe not, but the solution suggested is not very good. I would be ok if they added a little delay beetween the warning sound and the start of the skill check, so it would be less likely to let go the generator and explode it, but it would still explode if the killer comes and you don't have time to hit the skill check.
There is a thing called waiting a little bit for the next skillcheck
I think this isn't the same thing OP is referring to. Most of the time when this happens to me, it's not about pressure or the killer but maybe I see a totem I want to break or a teammate runs up and needs healing and the "instant" I commit to letting go, the skill check sound (and following explosion) simultaneously go off with no chance for me to hit the skill check.
And some people may ask "well how often does that happen" and to that I will say literally almost every game (between 90-95% of my games)

And that's what makes me so sure it's purposefully weighted to explode if you leave a gen except soon after a skillcheck; if it was random, it would not happen as much as it does.
bruvs do you think that they coded the game so that the skillchecks are psychic and can predict the moment you get off gens? You're arguments are flawed because you view these impossible skillchecks as rewards to the killer. I am a killer and survivor player and these skillchecks happen to me atleast once a game. Even if it is intended, it is completely stupid and I don't see a point in punishing players who would rather do a different objective. I sincerely hope you don't complain about gen rushing, because you're only solution is that survivors should stay on gens instead of doing something else.
What? Psychic? No.
I'm saying the game could be programmed to literally roll 0-100 for a skillcheck if you hold shift while leaving a gen. If it gets a 41 or higher; the gen pops. That would be a 60% chance to cause a skillcheck if a Survivor 'hastily' leaves a generator.
But it could be programmed to only do this if it's been 5+ seconds after the last skillcheck. Thus; leaving right after popping a skillcheck won't pop a skillcheck. No psychic powers needed.

And I see it as punishing Survivors for leaving the gen in haste. Sorry, but your point of view does not make mine wrong.
I don't think that you understand that the skillcheck noise plays like .5 seconds before you leave the gen. I never hear the noise after I leave a gen. I don't see a problem in finding a way to allow the survivor to still hit a skillcheck that unfairly hits them because they have bad luck? It is not like you are removing the skillcheck entirely, or even allowing the survivor to avoid them. The skillcheck will still have the same repercussions (gen explosion) when missed. You are assuming that the survivors are leaving the gen in haste, which is damaging to your point of view. The game does not know that i have sent the neurological message to let go of the gen, I am just unlucky. Waiting for the skillcheck has also been explained as not viable because of the chances of just not getting a skillcheck for a long time.
