Can anything be done about the generators?
Generators are very boring, nothing interesting about them except that it is the only way to escape , all that happens is just pressing a button and seeing the tape slowly advance
And you keep repeating this thing several times (watching the tape progress slowly) , 7 years have passed and nothing has changed in generators except an increase in repair time, nothing more
I think it's time to do something about it
"The survivors repair the generators very quickly! " This doesn't change anything and I think that's the only fun thing about generators, which is watching the tape progress quickly but it's very little fun
Please we don't want to wait another five years
Comments
Me after spending 20 minutes doing gens just to be left to die by my teammates (this has happened for the last 7 of my games)
Blame the survivors themselves. Anytime anything comes out the requires them to NOT work on generators in order to win, it gets complained about.
See:
BhVR: “Due to many comments like this from surviving players, we will shorten the generator repair time to 5 seconds.”
Most of them are skill issues, but my topic does not talk about skill
You forgot every other hex perk
and slowdown killers
and any slowdown perk for anything whatsoever
The only way to fix it is to replace it completely
Run builds that get you off gens and do something else. I've been tired of being gen jockey so I've been running FTP/Buckle up and chasing around my teammates waiting for that FTP play. Or work on my aim with a flashlight. Even Head On attempts have been fun.
I think the devs would rather people do a mix of things other than be glued to gens.
Well with Hex perks, Boon perks, Healing and Saving being better or having more focus
If Hexes are viable then that would slowdown the game just a bit
If Boons came back then that would slowdown the game just a bit
If Healing was better then that would slowdown the game just a bit
If Saving was more of a focus then that would slowdown the game just a bit
All of these things make the game what it is
Having 4 Survivors be different... like 1 Gen jockey, 1 healer, 1 Totem hunter and 1 Runner
And have the Killer be more independent from one thing or another
Gen kicker, Slugger, Camper, Tunneler and Hit and Run
TL;DR
If they made more perks more viable and having more focus on different playstyles would make this game better
So rather then only adjusting a few perks they need to do more 6.1.0 type of patches
More patches like that would throw out most stale "metas"... and having more patches in the first place would be better
To achieve 2 escapes, 5 Gens have to be done. 40% escape rate means the game is actually balanced around 5 Gens done over half the match,
thing is the requirement is the same for 4 escapes, and thats really the issue.
yeah it kinda dull! just gotta make your own fun.
i use hyper focus in most of my builds just to make gens more interesting. Hitting a large number in row can be very satisfying. I seen a slenderman killer concept on youtube that completely took the focus off of gens. i wish a killer like that would come into the game.
next update, skill checks are replaced with

*dance pad sold separately.
but for real... whatever they put on the gen, it will get boring eventually. and it needs to be simple enough so you can pay attention to your surroundings.
Sataco's gen slowdown is so garbage anyways that survivors just stay on gens half the time
Exactly, it would not only be a better balancing change but fun change to make the objectives centered around the exits themselves. So you have to do a different objective for each escape and each escape can only let 1-2 survivors leave and the others have to open their own escape.
I swear this would make me a survivor main. I would never play killer again when I could listen to this banger and feel like I am absolutely destroying that Myers on the other side of the map.
Unfair for killers we can’t listen to the music 😢
Yes, a few various things can be done. The community has made several good suggestions over the years, but BHVR has ultimately decided to just stick to how it is. I'm thinking the code is stretched thing so much over the years, that any significant gameolay overhauls would be quite am endeavor.
