That doesn't really solve the issue with people intentionally killing themselves on the hook. If a player rockets through the first phase of being hooked, they're just going to go straight to stopping the struggling on the second.

Nothing will ever completely solve the problem. Making it less tedious to struggle (believe it or not, that's actually one of the main reasons why people suicide) while allowing for suicides when necessary is the best option, IMO.

in Make Hook Struggle Automatic Comment by Orion May 21, 2019

Penalizing people for playing SWF won't work. Solos and killers need to be buffed simultaneously - solos so they have roughly the same amount of information as SWF, killers so they can deal with that. If that doesn't solve the dodging problem, incentives for killers to face SWF will have to be introduced.

Make it automatic, but add an option to stop. Farming is a thing and nobody should have to be penalized for that by being forced to disconnect.

It's fine. My fellow survivors can come over to pick me up then, or just pack NoMither or Unbreakable as suggested and you're back on your feet when the killer leaves you out to bleed.
These are valid strategies and alternative ways to waste a killer's time.
The alternative is everyone just plays looper builds, and we all know how much killers love that.

Except when killers start running slugging builds. I'd rather be hook farmed to death than be left on the ground every single trial.

"Technically dull/skeleton keys are as good as Moris. They both do the same thing: they give you a significant short cut to "winning" (winning defined as escaping alive or killing survivors)."
Maybe if you compare skeleton key with cypress mori

The hatch is open for some time. I've escaped along with two other survivors thanks to a single key.

@Mochan Games as a service and multiplayer games in general couldn't work without micro transactions anymore. People need to get payed. Even big AAA single play games sometime just need these extra sales to earn enough money. Games got so much more expensive then before and the customers have way higher expectations then 10 years ago

Indeed. Server maintenance isn't free, and no business that wants to stay afloat runs services at a loss.

This is my ping, is it bad?

That's your ping to the data center that ran the speed test. It's not your ping to the killer. Regardless, ping shouldn't affect skill checks.

Killers dc'ing more than usual for me as well. I agree with Nutty_Professor - waiting for dedicated servers will take too long. I lose pips and after rank reset it's just salt on the wound. Do we really think it's due to poor internet/loading?

Waiting for dedicated servers may take some time, but they're the best tool to know what's going on.

I'm seeing some people here say they are more than happy to pay for the Battle Pass.
I'm not on a high horse so much as I find it distressing there are people willing to drop down and bend over to pay for these things, even if they don't affect gameplay.
The industry would be way better without microtransactions, I find it crazy that there are people who actually think microtransactions are a good thing, or want to pay for them.

Assuming the Battle Pass leaks are real, the premium content in the Battle Pass is just skins and additional BP. Skins don't affect the game, and it's not like you can buy things with BP that nobody else can. So yeah, some people are fine with it.

I wonder if you got the same player as me. I played a round using Dwight (first time I've tried him out) and it was down to me and a random player. The random was hooked on the other side of the map and I was hiding from Myers as he knew the vicinity of where I was and was preventing me from running. Hooked survivor dies and Myers closed the hatch. Me being thick went the wrong way to find a door and got caught in EGC, I laughed, thought no more of it. The random however messaged me (in Spanish), just one message after another (8 I think). I don't know Spanish so had to translate it all; needless to say, it was full of insults, such as "I'm a cancer on society' and 'I'm so slow my hands should be cut off'. There was something about my parents but I couldn't translate it all. I think they were even more salty because I wasn't responding to them initially. I eventually told them 'thanks for the spanish lesson. Grow up' (which I painstakingly translated via google) then reported and blocked them.
I mean, it's just a game! Why the need to get so salty?

They were indeed Spanish, but the only way to confirm would be to share names, which is against the rules.

@Mochan said:
You misunderstand what I am saying.
I am not saying make the regression do 10x more damage to the gen.
I am saying Generators should take 10x longer to repair. i.e. - if a generator takes 80 seconds to repair today, they should make it that it takes 800 seconds to repair, but remove the ability of the killer to kick it and make it regress.
Some perks would need to be reworked like Pop Goes the Weasel or Surveillance, but I think this is a better direction for the game to take. It doesn't need to be 10x longer the fine tuning I would leave to the developers, but I do not think that they current way the game is setup is good for anyone. There's a lot that can be improved.
I realize that this was how the game used to work (no regression possible) and that killers were given the ability to break gens becuase it was too easy for survivors, but back in 2016 generators took way too fast to repair as well. I think the game has come to a point where a suggestion like mine is feasible.

The problem is that 80 seconds is already way too ######### long. It's boring to sit on a generator for that long.

I tolerate the microtransactions in the game because mostly you can get the premium content without paying. (Mostly, not always). And I tolerate it with a heavy heart.
I do not understand how gamers these days are so cucked that they are more than willing to let game developers and publishers milk them for everything they're worth.
It's a sad trend.

I only tolerate microtransactions that don't affect gameplay (skins, badges, etc.). However, I don't buy any single-player game that has them, no matter how inconsequential they are or how cheap the game is.

In conclusion, don't place yourself on a pedestal. Get off your high horse.

in Survey Results Comment by Orion May 21, 2019

I don't think we need something that complicated, simply making it faster or having the survivors, interact with it for some time before it stops would be enough. Right now all it takes is a single tap for the generator to stop regressing, even though the killer's interaction takes a few seconds and is already much slower than the time it takes to repair.

I'll take slugging any day. It's better than losing a hook state imo.

You want to be left to bleed out for 4 minutes every single trial? Sure, that sounds like fun. /s

This is a killer story, but I suppose it's acceptable. I was playing the Cannibal, going up against a 3-man SWF plus one random, on The Game. I found one generator that had been worked on, then found a Claudette. Downed with the chainsaw.

I decided to open a locker at random, figuring they might have spawned together (it's happened a lot to me lately, for some reason, so I figured it must happen to them as well). There was a David in it.

I hooked the David in the nearby basement, came back for the Claudette, and there's a Meg hopping out of a locker. I ignore her completely and proceed to hook Claudette in the basement, which seems much darker than usual for some reason.

I charge my chainsaw, even though I think it's a stupid move because there's no way the Meg is going to attempt a basement unhook against the Cannibal. She did, and was downed along with the unhooked. I hook her and leave the other one on the floor, since I think she might have DS.

As I'm leaving to check on the generator that had been completed, the survivor who completed said gen rushes into the basement, gets introduced to Mr. Chainsaw and then hook. One survivor DC's.

In the post-game chat, the DCer proceeds to inform me that I'm "cancer" and "#########", even though I did basically nothing during the entire trial.

Pig is fine for me because she's not immune to Premonition. However, when I'm looking around, Premonition doesn't trigger for some time, and suddenly I hear a faint heartbeat followed by an attack or just see a white mask off in the distance, that's when I freak out.

Guess just reworking the perk to be solely a massive speed buff doesn't cut it, eh? Fair enough then, just thought I'd throw out an idea for it.

You get a ton of heat for it because it was effective in that trial.

except if the killer was nurse, billy, spirit, wraith, or even legion.
and also you totally forgot that some killer's abilities can help them a lot in these situations. for example trapper if he planted a trap on the exit gates.

Well, yeah, and many of those killers can also deal with Leader. What's your point? You can't prepare for everything.
