Exit gates change proposal

Hello everyone,

here is a short idea to spice things up at the exit gates. The exit gates are a place of much contest, much mistreatment and much complaint. They are basically abolutely safe for survivors and much gloating and t-bagging occures.

I have just a very small change proposal, that would help to make the situation much more bearable and hopefully fair and tense for everyone: when a survivor gets downed in the exit gate area, they can't crawl out for 10s. Thats it. T-bagging and BMing the killer aside, but most of the time there is no point for the killer to chase a survivor into the exit gate area, because of the weapon wiping animation the window to actually grap a survivor before they are over the treshold is soooo slim, that its rarely worth the effort.

I could also see this effect extended to healthy survivors, ie should a healthy survivor get hit inside the exit area, the killer now has a 10s window to hit them a second time. This would make the exit area, where everyone is clustered around, much more tense and exciting for both sides, instead of just a staging area for BMing the killer, with successful escorts of a wounded survivor being the most trivial thing.

    While I think the first idea seems feasible, the healthy survivor thing would probably not work often.

    Its like the EGC being mostly ignored by 99'ing the gates; Survivors would wait at the gate instead of the exit to not trigger that penalty for being hit on the last stretch.

    I must admit when gates are 99 an everyone healthy it feels like a guaranteed out.

    Even if killer gets a hit on 1 most maps you can make it to the other worse comes to worse a last min body block from team.


    The Bming i feel there is no need for it. I actually feel embarrassed if randoms do it to killer an worry the killer will think i'm with them.

    Would be cool to be able to just disconnect once EGC is triggered as killer without losing your points, leaving just your body in the trial and removing collision. Then once the game was decided, you can just leave.

    Open the gates, DC and move to the next. No more waiting out EGC because the killer has already left.
