I play both sides: About 60% survivor.
I don't think "gen speeds" are an issue and here's my reasoning.
If gens took any longer than they do currently, we'll say 100 seconds instead of 90 solo:
- Survivor would be even more boring
- If a killer gets an early down before any gens are popped (yes that is possible and happens pretty often), they could literally camped that first person to death and only 2 or 3 gens would get done. This is assuming a 4man SWF with comms and the guy on hook just says "don't come and focus gens". Any other scenario, people are going to hop off gens and attempt to help the person on hook.
- Due to the reason above, trash camper killers will become more prevalent because the reward of eliminating a player would outweigh the risk of losing a couple of gens and having only 3 people left.
So maybe focus on map size, or killer abilities or something else, but for the love of god, I do not want to sit on a generator any longer than we already do because those 80 seconds drag
I understand that you do not want to sit on a gen for longer, that is boring. but your reasons are flawed.
you're saying that survivors should not do ANYTHING hard to escape, so pretty much if killer gets early down shouldn't be rewarded (whether he decides to camp or not). If it takes more than 2 minutes for me to escape (length of time that a camping killer wastes) the game is unbalanced or bad, You're doing at LEAST 3 gens by that time, how is that not rewarding the survivors because of a killer's mistake? Even if doing a single gen took 2 minutes camping would still lose the game for killer unless survivors were not good at the game or made mistakes.
So yeah I understand the gen time going up is not the fix here but your reasoning for it is pretty bad, the only reason that increasing gens wouldn't be a good fix is that its boring and nothing else.

The problem with increasing gen times is that once there are three gens left, the killer has too much pressure and ability to move people off gens/ kick gens.
With three gens left, at least in high rank, you already have to commit with multiple people using adrenaline, unless it is a large map.
Same reason why people asking for smaller maps don't realize that it will be three gen strat at the end of every round.
Id rather they just add an extra gen to do.
This is a valid point but you have to understand that its up to the survivors to not 3 gen themselves, its usually never up to the killer unless they just sit around 3 gens which are extremely close due to RNG and those players just exist and nothing we can do about their corny play style.
And no I don't think increasing gen time will be any good, doing gens is already boring as hell, I would much rather a second objective much like other survival games.

Gens go too fast right now, even without toolboxes or perks to help.
My wife and I intentionally spend the first 60 seconds of a match (approximately) looking for totems now, just to allow killers time to traverse the maps, set-up, etc. because we know if we go right on two gens, it'll go too fast.
Sometimes one of us is insta-spotted and we can't, but at least it's an early chase and hook to have pressure.
We don't mind doing it this way, but gameplay style isn't a fix, that's for sure
This brought tears to my eyes and gave me hope in humanity ;_; Thank you both for your service to the killer community.

Joining at the same time means nothing since dedicated servers, previously survivors would have to join killers for a lobby to be made, when searching survivors can all be put into a lobby together and the killer will then join them.
Ah I see, was not aware of that, so thanks for the information. nonetheless it doesn't change much about the post.

Ah, yes. Another generalization of a specific group.
believe it or not, not a single SWF I've gone against in rank 1 has been any nicer than this and I go against 4 men SWF every other game. Not a single one. I pray for the day that I do good against a SWF and they just say gg and don't say mean stuff after the game.

What... has this post got to do with SWF? =/
all 4 joined at the same time and extremely coordinated and toxic, and yes they did say they were SWF who "destroyed" me.
