Quick prompt communication lines for solo survivors?
Just something I think would help given that these have been in the mobile game for the longest time and now that stealth is no longer viable with the amount of aura reading in the game and the balance being around SWF then solo survivors could use more tools for quick communication.

Yep, should be in the game. Should have been in the game years ago. Maybe in 10 years.
Definitely agree
Please give examples; some of us have never played or seen videos of mobile.
They're phrases people can quickly select ingame like "I'm going for the rescue" or "I'm in a chase" that people can use to notify their teammates.
Absolutely, BHVR really needs to let go of the idea of Survivors not being able communicate and just let Solos prompt each other more
A simple “I’m going for the unhook, cover me” or “Don’t go for the unhook, killer’s close by” would work wonders
It wouldn't matter. Remember what it was like before they added the extra information on the bottom left hud? Now we can see that someone is in chase and 2 people are doing gens. Now the full hp survivor with 0 hooks doing nothing should be the one going for unhook. However this is rarely the occasion in solo queue. Ignorant survivor or one with 0 gamesense would just ignore the added communication lines aswell. Survivors should also be able to tell if killer is straight up facecamping and not stop the anticamp meter, unless they trade at the very last second. The only advantage with voice chat is knowing which gens your teammates are doing and where the killer is.
Okay, after just ending another solo queue match with 3 genning survivors, I do believe we need to have a marker to mark gens red so survivors wouldn't fix all the gens next to each other. Even after doing follow emote and shaking head, the survivors doubled the last gen resulting in an unwinnable 3 gen, then the console survivor hid for over 10 minutes while others tried to fix the last gen.
Chase prompts on the UI are barely helpful especially against stealth or killers with no terror radius or killers chasing multiple people in rare cases. If someone spots a killer chasing them but you're not aware because the UI prompt is not active then being able to shout that out is useful since they're not even being stealthy anyway.
Unhooking is a nightmare if you don't have kindred on at all, not knowing who's going for an unhook and being unable to judge who the closest person is and if they're in chase at the moment as well sucks too. Problems SWF players don't have to struggle with. Quick prompts to let people know the status of the situation definitely gives solo survivors more tools to work with when helping the team.
It doesn't matter who is the closest survivor, you have plenty of time to run for unhook. Factors like hook count, current health status and if the survivor is doing an objective count. Also you can see gen progress, so if you see a survivor with 90% gen progress, that survivor will go for the unhook after the gen. Stealth killers don't matter, you can still see the tentacles shaking on the player who 's in chase. If the killer starts to "chase 2 survivors", the other one continues the gen they were doubling, or runs to unhook, why would the 2 survivors stack and sandbag each other on the loops? This argument just sounds like those overly altruistic survivors who lose the game for others while chasing the killer 24/7 with flashlight, only to flashlight killers butt from behind while they could have finished a gen. The real value in kindred is to see where the other survivors where doing the gens or hexes that got interrupted. Usually you just see the aura of someone afking or crouching around without killer even close with kindred.
Wow, we could definitely use that in the main game. Thanks.
that would help solo q a lot, and we can't have that. killers need to have easy games so they keep playing
Since BHVR is gradually adding content from the mobile game (for example quests)I think sooner or later it will appear
