Hmm, let's see. We could try rephrasing this to explain the mindset of why people do that.
"If killer has a down and no survivors are near by, why do killers prefer slugging and searching for the last survivor rather than hooking and letting the game close out? They won either way. Hooking instead of slugging saves time and effort"
You may disagree, but a lot of survivors who do that probably think they've been wronged by being slugged and thus crawling off and hiding is getting one back against killers who do that

They're also getting themselves back by delaying their ability to get into a new game. Its a pretty dumb kind of spite.

Also the 4k comparison isn't quite right, as there are achievements and challenges that require a 4k to complete (which one getting the hatch will actively invalidate.) Sometimes killers are forced to slug the third for actual reasons, which could easily be fixed by reducing the requirement to 3 for said scenarios (but they presumably never will.)

For the record I think slugging for the 4th is unhealthy for the game, but I get it.

I dont understand, higher FoV would be better benefit. Why dont they just increase FoV to the maximum setting of the slider? I dont think the slider option is needed.

Some people get motion sick from an FoV being too high, just like some do when it's too low. It depends a lot on their setup (distance, lighting, etc) and physiology.

I feel like its a holdout from the days when the killer was the host, but we've been past that for years now. They really should add it.

They put all the effort to create a system that only helps against the most egregious forms of camping, and that's it. In my opinion that's just laughable, and the perfect example of why this game just isn't improving in any noticeable way.

Thats because the other forms of camping (notably proxy) are considered legitimate strategies. Between the AFC and the removal of hook grabs, the devs have made their stance pretty clear on facecamping specifically.

It took them literal years to change them and some of them still sucks. Either you have to use an entire build around it or suffer.

They have to introduce an average of 6 new perks (sometimes more) every 3 months. There's going to be bloat, and a lot of perks are going to be underwhelming (especially as the game changes.) Since they refuse to do anything like a "game health" chapter, perk reworks tend to either be reactionary (too strong, change in mechanics) or focused (meta shakeup.) Simply put, its just not realistic to buff every perk that needs it.

Drop a guy on the hook and go for someone else. You don't need to tunnel, but survivors do need to do gens.

That's hardly the killer's problem though, is it? If they never go for unhooks, you are going to have a VERY easy game.

You have a good 60 seconds that the survivor can sit on the hook per health state (and reassurance can increase this time as well.) Gens before Friends can absolutely be the better move for survivors, especially if the gen they're doing breaks up a 3 gen. The idea is to get to the hook toward the end of the stage, instead of right away. I get your logic, but its not always applicable.

This is also one of the situations where people complain about proxy camping, because the killer goes back to the hook to confirm the hook stage instead of letting them wait until the last minute to make the save. It can be punished as well as rewarded so it's a risky strat (especially in solo queue.)

Okay, I understand reasoning here. I agree on the 2nd Slice and Dice would not have hit if he just Held W to the Left Tile.
but there's still mind games for the 1st Slice and Dice. Would double backing be on your mind if Chucky can just Slice and Dice in an L Shape on the Shack?
Just for illustration, these would have been the Slice and Dice paths. Chucky could have done the Yellow Slice and Dice but did the orange Slice and Dice as both Felix and Jeff were expecting the Yellow Slice and Dice.

You have to listen to his yell. It stops while hes scampering, so if you hear the first part then it cuts out to a loud grunt instantly, you know he vaulted and could double back. Also if the pallet was still there (hard to tell in the viceo), you could go for a stun, or throw it and THEN double back behind where he started. You can react depending on how you position, and if you can't hear or recognize the yell, then you have to commit to a read on which way he went.

The big thing is that his dash has limited turning, so thats the common thread to avoiding slice and dice.

No fun allowed in this game istg. There weren’t even many maps where you could pull this off.

And it was completely busted where you could. I bet being able to clip through lockers is "fun" as well?

Last time the flashlight exploit popped up, people were asking about why not declare that it's bannable like they did with legion's infinite mending bug. And the response was they don't need to, because killswitch.
Of course this is just my memory of the last time, but the way it came across was they aren't going to ban people over a bug/exploit if they can killswitch the problem.

Considering how gamebreaking it is and the fact that it is killswitched should be all the reason more to issue bans. Considering there is a method that people are still using flashlights, nobody's doing it by accident.

IIRC, a dev stated that since the killswitch exists to turn off problems, there's no need to mass bans over an exploit since the problem can be disabled. The problem is that flashlights can't be fully killswitch due to chests existing.

well, it is in the rules that its (temporary) ban worthy, unless they changed their minds:

Exploit bugs, errors in design, or undocumented features to gain access to what otherwise would not be available or to obtain a competitive advantage
In-game report REQUIRED / Player Support ticket OPTIONAL

It says the support ticket is optional, but i feel like they'd definitely need video proof.

Correct for a SWF... for SoloQ... that's a LOT of faith :P

You can always be the change you want to see~

I try to be the designated opener whenever it comes down to it, for lack of faith in my teammates.

As others have said, I'd died far more from people 99ing gates and having to path to do the last tick of the gate after a save, than I have from the EGC timer being started.
You have 2 minutes, 4 if someone is down/hooked. If you can't get them out in 4 minutes, you ain't getting them out.
The only reason to 99 a gate is if the killer is about to hook a player to ensure you don't proc blood warden. At all other times I open the gate to ensure that the fast getaway, is actually a fast getaway.

The correct way to 99 a gate is to stay within a close proximity to it as much as possible, so that you can open it when you hear the TR or see all the other survivors. People 99 the gate then just run away to do whatever, which is what leads to those moments where it costs a hook/death. If going for the 2 man strat to guarantee the unhook, the person who takes the injury should run to the exit gate to be the designated opener (they're already wounded, so no bodyblocking.)

As for the timer, it can make a difference regarding hook trading. It might not take you the full 2/4 minutes to save someone, but someone else could get in trouble during that time, and the team will have even less time to save them.

I get why a lot of people open the gate instead of leaving it 99ed, but you can have your cake and eat it, too.

Ah yes, when its a bug that people like, its called skill expression. Even though its bringing back a concept that gave BL near-infinites. It was also only in a few specific maps (some required rng whether it would line a pallet up or not) so it was rare to even have a situation where you could use it.

Now that the locker bug is back, I wonder if people consider it to be "skill expression."

I push back on any pallet being considered "godly".
It's an over used term by sweaty try hards who over analyze every aspect of a game in order to manipulate the masses into thinking its a legit issue.
Its a 1 use item, that can be immediately be broken and rendered utterly useless.
Not so "godly" after all is it.

You're welcome to whatever opinion leads you to that, but at least try to have some decorum about it.

Right. So any pallet that is the least bit of a hinderance is a god pallet now?
Killer logic 101.

A god pallet is one that has to be broken to continue chase. There are certainly more than 2 pallets on the map that fit that description. Us vs them at the end is pretty pointless as well.

Break pallets to turn the map into a dead zone
And thats why the game is a killer sided map

You're conflating my argument. again, I never said anything about the map's balance. I was just correcting a statement.

Irrelevant. My only point was that it has multiple god pallets, nothing about the maps balance.

Well what if you were falling towards the window at the speed of running? That's more what I was thinking.

It was almost always with the vault being on the same wall as the drop (on swamp and macmillan maps) meaning it would be behind you. The only exception I know of was on ormond, where you could drop right next to a pallet and vault before the stumble kicked in. There is very little horizontal momentum when falling (far less than running, no less) and you're ignoring inertia with your presumption, people don't land like super heroes, your legs would be extremely sore from the fall and take a moment to regain balance. Hence the stumble effect.
