I would vote for changing Jolt to simply trigger on any Survivor being downed by any means anywhere, the perk specifically only applies 8% regression for gens within 32 meters of the downed Survivor and then goes on the cooldown, so this would make the perk less situational and more viable for all Killers.

Perhaps the value of the rewards are tied to the rarity of the offerings used too - the rarer the offering, the greater the rewards.

I really hope we as a community can continue to increase the demand to fix gen-tapping, and not try to defend it, as it is a core imbalance in this game against the Killer multiplied by 4. I have wondered why the devs haven't done anything to fix this in several actual years. The longer core imbalance stays, the worse the health of the game will stay. To top it off, this is easy to fix for the devs, they don't even have to add anything new, just use what they already have in the game.

I just feel like their squandering a golden opportunity to actually see what changes could work in a faster way over this cautious slow roll they have.

I think if the PTB was more of a playground for testing things with the community in a more direct manner so that the community would be in on the testing itself, seeing and experiencing them and offering feedback underway while also keeping the pre-release patch testing would improve the gap between the devs and the community, which could result in a far better Dead By Daylight which means everyone wins.

So this is my concept for a second survivor objective, to slow early game and general gen progress down a little bit while making it somewhat interesting for survivor and not be another M1 in one place activity:
For the current gen and healing speed you have to have metal scraps (screws,tools etc) and herbs respectivley in your ‚inventory‘. both materials are scattered around the map and can be collected. You have a maximum amount you can carry and while repairing/healing they will get depleted. There will be small meters in the UI for the survs so they see how much they have/how fast they get depleted.
if you are out of materials you can still repair/heal, but at a much slower pace.
Herbs and scraps have to be collected, there should be a very small pickup animation (kind of like red glyphs but shorter). You can find them anywhere, they are not exactly hidden, and may respawn at new places. Scraps can be detected from a little further away because they shine/ blink a little. Herbs are just growing anywhere and have a distinct look to them. They are a little bit taller so they can easily be spotted. On some indoor maps (or generally) they are growing in mini plant pots (which disappear after collection) (think about Resident Evil HD herbs).
Many perks/items may get reworked to incorporate those new features, some ideas:
Botany Knowledge: Either slower depletion, slow auto refill, auras for herbs. There is many possibilities how it could work
Toolboxes/Health Kits ignore your scraps/herbs meter while they have charges and are used
Saboteur: Refill your scrap meter after sabotage
the idea is generally to give survs stuff to do besides gens, especially for early game. But make it engaging: searching around the map, looking in corners where you normally don’t go etc without being constantly on a silver plate for the killer (that still mainly patrols gens and doesn’t get more stations that have to be patrolled). its not actually a mandatory second objective but slowdown without those should be noticeable enough so survs should always try to not have empty meters
my other concepts (Feedback and suggestions always welcome):
Killers: The Ice Queen, Hannibal, Charlie(The Darkness), The Blair Witch, The Firebreather, The Photographer
Survivors: Aria Morrison, Lukas Schmidt, Paitoon Saeli
Survivor Items: Walkie Talkies, Lighter, Water Bottle, Pocket Knife, Sling Shot, Spray Paint Cans, Salt Pouch, Smoke Bomb, Voodoo Doll, Smudge Sticks
Game mechanics: Expanded survivor objectives, Exhaustion Rework, Spiderwebs

I am quite interested in seeing things like this tested around with, some sort of secondary objective for the Survivors that incentivize more roaming which equals more rewards for more risk improving the Killer's objective at the same time, perhaps even some sort of mini-puzzles like assembling enough scraps and pieces into Assembled Parts that can be applied to generators to boost the repair progress a fair amount while also lessening the effects of regression on the generator with an Assembled Part applied. So much that can be done within what they already have.

This idea arose from how on the meat plant map or whatever the big flat two story map is how there’s the big yellow stairway that survivors can run up to and vault to fall 3 floors and oof on the killer, and how much of a bunk it is to down someone before they vault, as with most hooks spawning it takes about a billion years to take them to a new hook, and it’s rough.
But, it would be cool if the killer could vault with a player on them, to be able to land them on that hook so tantalizingly placed at the bottom of the tube drop, right?
I would be ecstatic, as killer or survivor, if the killer was given the ability to take survivors off his shoulder and YEET them right through the window, or vault, or whatever, and climb in afterwards, it just sounds so fun and monstrous and great, and just such a d—- move for killers to be mean if they’re getting dunked on, it would be cool if it increased the progression of their wiggle time and also their bleed out timer, i just think it would be a super fun feature what you all think

I like the idea. Would be great if it would be implemented in the way that we could either click or hold the drop button (default R), where holding leads to channel this throw, the longer the channel, the greater the distance, while clicking the drop button drops the Survivor on the ground, just as it is now.

I think the easiest and simplest bandaid for camping would be giving more to the survivor on the hook, plainly speaking.
I propose that hook skill checks have a 'great' spot that earns you more bloodpoints. Every additional great skill check earns you a higher number of bloodpoints than the previous.
Secondly, have an 'eye contact' meter called the killers gaze. Using one of the secondary buttons would allow the hooked survivor to 'stalk' the killer while they are within sight. Leveling up your stalk meter would count towards your objective emblem, allowing someone to feel like they aren't leaving the match 2 minutes in with 3000 bloodpoints and a pip down
It doesn't really solve the actual issue,, but I know that a lot of survivors would be less upset if they weren't tunneled out of the match empty handed, especially if they put a good offering in.

Thanks for sharing. Seems like a fair addition in my opinion.

I honestly think Survivor stopping regression should work as follows:
The gen is Regressing from a kick.
Survivors start working on a gen. The effects of Regression are suspended, so the Survivor gets the full effect of repairing.
If the Survivor hits a Skillcheck; Regression is removed & the Survivor can leave the gen without it regressing.
If the Survivor failed a Skillcheck; Regression stays suspended, but will resume if the Survivor leaves the gen.
If the Survivor is chased off the gen BEFORE a Skillcheck; regression resumes.
Basically, the Survivors have to hit a Skillcheck to remove Regression from a generator.

I agree, I think that's a good suggestion.

My suggestion would be to make the parts temporary, and have them respawn 10-15 seconds after their effect wears off. In this way; Survivors are not screwed if the Killer camps a gen a Part has been used on.
I like the idea of Pop being basekit, but I have a problem with gen-kicking in general; it takes the Killer 3 seconds to START a regression,a nd Survivors literally gen-tap in 1/60th of a frame of animation. It's something devs need to look at and fix before gen-kicking (and gen kicking perks) become useful. Because the Killer is wasting 300x the time kicking, than Survivors spend gen-tapping.

I like your suggestion there, that is a good idea for countering camping of an Assembled Part.

And I really appreciate that you mention the issue of Killers having to channel to kick the generator in order to make it regress (and very slowly too) while the Survivors can literally tap M1 to instantly stop regression. This is something I have tried to share several times around the forums, but don't see enough attention paid to this, as this is an issue that causes core imbalance multiplied by 4. I hope they make it so the Survivors also need to channel in order to stop regression and start repairing. Another thing I also think is important is when a Survivor fails a skillcheck and runs off, the generator explodes, but still counts as being undamaged (not regressing). The Killer somehow still has to spend time channeling to damage the generator that in fact just exploded. This makes no sense and is another imbalance multiplied by 4. I hope they make it so that when the generator explodes, it counts as being damaged (naturally) and goes into normal regression (same pace as a Killer damaging it).

@AngyKiller said:
Implement a halt to the sacrificial process if the Killer lingers too close to the hooked Survivor
I will say this again: The devs tried a 'If the Killer is too close to the hook, do <x>' punishment. In their case, it was 'The struggle meter empties slower'.
Survivors abused it by forcing the Killer to either camp, or walk away for a free unhook.
So stop. Everyone. Stop with these camping punishments. They cannot work. Every single one has been abusable by Survivors. Let me explain:
I hook a Survivor. Now 2 Survivors are North and South of the hook by...let's say 25 meters. Clearly in the open, opposite directions.
If I go after North: He slowly backs away, preventing me from starting a Chase event. At the same time, South walks towards the Hook.
I reset to the Hook. North and South reset to 25 meters away. The game still considers me 'Camping'.
Repeat 2 and 3 if I go after South instead.
Now, what are my choices?
I camp the hook. North and South camp ME. 4th Survivor now has infinite time to solo gens without their friend dying on hook.
I commit to a chase. In doing so, the non-chased Survivor gets a free unhook.
This is how these 'punishments' ALWAYS can play out. Every, single, one.
And this is not a hypothetical; this is, literally, how it played out when the devs tried this. Survivors showed they would abuse the HELL out of it for their own benefit.
People need to accept that camping has it's uses, and any 'punishment' they invent will be so massively abused that Killers would never stand for it.
As for the rest...Eh? The problem with making Ruin basekit is that Killers cannot kick already-regressing generators, which means perks based on kicking generators are now useless & all need a rework.
Also; how long with this part Survivors can find halt regression for? The entire match? A minute? Two minutes?
I do like the idea that regression would be based on Killer's proximity to a hook, but it should maybe be worked into Ruin itself.

Thanks for sharing. While it is the Survivors' objective to escape the trial before they are killed, it is the Killer's objective to do everything in their power to kill the Survivors before they can escape and this indeed includes camping. The idea was to give Killers a double-edged sword to both be able to afford chases better at the cost of camping efficiency - the closer the Killer is, the higher the cost, but if as you say the developers did indeed test around with something similar to this suggestion regarding slower sacrifice upon the Killer having close proximity to the hooked Survivor and it did not work well, I totally agree to scrap that and continue to try to find ways to both balance and incentivize ways that we might have more fun with our objectives, both as Killers and as Survivors.

Perhaps better than a base Ruin would be a Pop Goes The Weasel basekit implementation for Killers, which would both offer more balance as the Killer's damage of the generator is very slow regression while also being something the Killer has to work for to apply.

The idea for the Assembled Parts was that they do not halt regression on a generator if the Killer damaged it, but just halted the effects of Ruin on the generator they were applied to, and that there would perhaps be a maximum of two Assembled Parts being obtainable in a trial. In the case of this idea with Pop Goes The Weasel basekit instead of Ruin, perhaps these parts would instead boost the repair speed by a small but fair amount (but not instant or super repairs like older versions of Brand New Part). Since they are a few pieces that need to be assembled into parts, the assembling itself could also be a little mini-puzzle where you rotate and turn the parts to fit each other, offering something interactive as a side-objective for the Survivors.

in Suggestion for camping and incentivizing chase Comment by Mokdroh January 8, 2022

Perhaps if the game had built-in character specific voice lines saying those things in a proximity-chat like manner, that the Killer could also hear if close enough. Otherwise it provides the Survivors with means of communication which doesn't actually make sense and which give them a significant advantage in terms of information over the Killer in ways that the game is obviously not designed for.

in Solo Queue Improvement Suggestion Comment by Mokdroh January 4, 2022

While repairing the generators in order to escape and as fast as possible before they are killed is the Survivor's main objective, just like killing the Survivors as fast as possible before they can escape is the Killer's main objective, I think some implementations should be done to improve the core balance of the game first of all. Both Killers and Survivors should be doing everything they can in order to accomplish their objectives, just as the instructions of the game suggest, I think the issue is that the game has core imbalances where the generators are done too quickly with the Killer not having time to hunt around looking properly for Survivors and not being able to apply pressure across the map unless they play a fast-roamer like Spirit, Billy, Blight or Nurse.

Perhaps one mechanic that could be added to, as you say, keep both the Killers and the Survivors in the "fun zone" could be implementing the spawning of new types of chests or some sort of containers that are scattered throughout the map where Survivors can pick up pieces of parts (not the toolbox item) that will boost the repair progress of a generator by a good amount. These pieces would then NOT count as the Survivor's active item, but is a passive item they carry. The Survivor would need a couple or more of these pieces to then put together the part that they can then use on a generator to boost the repair progress (but not instant or super repairs like older versions of Brand New Part). A suggestion if nothing else.

With core imbalance issues:

The Killer has to spend time to channel the damage of the generator in order to make it regress, while a Survivor can literally just tap LMB to stop the regression. This makes no sense, and creates a core imbalance in the game and this imbalance is multiplied by 4. Solution? Make it so the Survivors also need to channel in order to stop regression and start repairing.
When a Survivor fails a skillcheck and runs off, the generator explodes, but still counts as being undamaged (not regressing). The Killer somehow still has to spend time channeling to damage the generator that in fact just exploded. This makes no sense and is another imbalance multiplied by 4. Solution? Make it so that when the generator explodes, it counts as being damaged (naturally) and goes into normal regression (same pace as a Killer damaging it).
Survivor boons are Survivor's hexes against the Killers, but in a completely opposite and imbalanced way. Currently, the Survivors can completely destroy the Killer's Hex perk permanently for the trial by cleansing the hex totem, and can also cleanse any totem they see fit, apply and re-apply the boons indefinitely even to totems snuffed out by the Killer, so the Killer cannot manage the totems. Solution? Make the Killer able to destroy totems and implement restrictions to the amount the Survivors can apply boons in a trial.
The generator speed for multiple Survivors working on the same generator is extremely fast even with the co-repair penalty (easily observable with the Legion's Discord perk). Single generator work should be slow with the normal amount of skillchecks, basically as it is, while multiple Survivors working on the same generator should be a bit less speedy than it is now and invoke more skillchecks, making the higher reward gameplay for Survivors more risky and a bit more balanced against the Killer (also considering the pieces-to-part-assembling mechanic).

I heard in a Q&A video of the devs from October this year that they have plans of implementing counters to facecamping. Hopefully we will see soon what this might be.

But you don't agree with the Boons part? If Hexes can be re-lit, so can Boons. But the survivors should have to accomplish something within the match to get a token to be able to put their boon back in play. Each boon could have its own cost. CoH should involve healing other survivors health states, Shadowstep should involve hiding a certain amount of seconds within the killers terror radius, and Exponential should involve unhooking another survivor.
After all, this is supposed to be the killers playground, not the survivors.

I agree. If this is applied on top of giving the Killer the ability to destroy totems, I think this would be better balanced.

I still think the killers hexes should spawn in, because as matches currently stand, I don't think killers have the luxury of time to be able to place their hexes before pursuing the survivors. The time needed to track down a dull totem to hex it could ruin a match with a solid survivor team.
And the killers can't be just given the sight of all dull totems in the match either, because that would render boons completely visible, the killer would just see a dull totem disappear and know exactly where to go.
The killers would need a perk that gave them the ability to spot some dull totems, like the survivors small game or counterforce if they were a hex based player.

The point was not about Killers not spawning in their hexes, but about the imbalance between how the Killer's Hex perks can be completely countered permanently for the trial and the Killer cannot re-apply those hexes and also cannot manage the totems because the Survivors can indefinitely re-apply their boons and choose which totems to re-apply to and which totems to cleanse, ending up with the Survivors in the power role of totems.

Killers should be able to choose to either destroy totems (to prevent boons) or be able to relight their own hexes. It would turn the totems into full on tactical warfare
""Should I break the totem, which means no CoH but also keeps the killer from rekindling Ruin?""
""Should I break the totem, which means no Noed or Undying, or risk the survivors putting a CoH in this area?""

Indeed, Survivor boons are Survivor's hexes against the Killers, but in a completely opposite and imbalanced way. Currently, the Survivors can completely destroy the Killer's Hex perk permanently for the trial by cleansing the hex totem and can also cleanse any totem they see fit, while the Killer has no control over where what totems will be hexed. The Killer has to spend two perk slots for hexes to counter this, with the other one being Hex: Undying. So two perk slots that can be permanently destroyed for the Killer, while the Survivors can indefinitely re-apply their boons to any totem they choose, even the ones that the Killer snuffed out while the Killer is not able to destroy the totem nor the re-application of the boons hence not able to manage the totems (despite being supposed to be the "power role").

@[Deleted User] said:
The game already has a tough learning curve for newer survivors, punishing gen explosions even more would be rough for them.
I usually find the gen tap to stop regression a non problem as its more of a qoL issue for survivors. Thank god we only have to tap gens to prevent regression because sitting on a gen and hitting skillchecks is boring as heck. Many games I remember having done a gen to 80% only for killer to pressure me off the gen and noone even bothered to tap the gen making it regress to 0% anyways. Really good survivors know to tapp gens to prevent this and if they need to sit there for 3 seconds people will be even less likely to work on the gen to prevent regression
TLDR: pls dont remove it makes soloq more bearable

This is part of the core balance of the game, and this is one of the things that tips the game off into core imbalance, because the point is that the Survivors being able to tap M1 to instantly stop generator regression doesn't make any sense and is more powerful than the power role which has to spend time, and this is multiplied by 4. You say "Thank god we only have to tap gens to prevent regression because sitting on a gen and hitting skillchecks is boring as heck". But sitting on a gen and hitting skillchecks is the Survivors' main objective, the issue is that they DON'T have to sit to make it count as being repaired, they don't need to commit at all for it to count as repairs, appearantly they can just bypass it and look like they are about to touch it and woila, counts as repair instantly. And how can this still be the case for a gen that just exploded and is not being dealt with? Obviously this doesn't make sense according to both logic and balance. If the Killer chases one Survivor who was working on a generator, they will have to kick it to make it regress (unless they have Ruin or Surge and downs the Survivor nearby the gen) and if they do kick the generator, you have a headstart in the chase because it takes time for the Killer to cause it to regress, and the regression itself is also a slow process. If a Survivor can just tap it to instantly stop regression and begin the repair, now there is a major imbalance in the basic core mechanics of the game. The Survivors can constantly abuse this, and they do, especially in higher ranks. 4 people who can instantly tap a generator that the 1 player who plays against them have to spend time to cause regression.

Stopping regression should be a short channel for Survivors just like it is for the Killer to cause it, and failing a skillcheck causes an explosion, and this should naturally cause the gen to regress too, and the Survivor should have to go through with the channel for stopping regression. I think this would make much more sense, be more balanced, really help "genrush" and put even more importance of being careful with skillchecks and when to commit to a generator.
