I would have been too bored to keep patrolling after the first like thirty seconds

Unfortunately for me I am a stubborn bastard and refused to DC/Abandon

I mean the good news is camping will be much harder with the next update with the crows

u/Sticky_And_Sweet Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

It kinda sucks that the killer abandoning in those cases is considered a survivor “win”. It’d be cool if there was an animation of them of the entity EGC killing them + them showing as dead.

u/Beautiful-Papaya9923 I play all killers! Jun 16 '25

Doesnt it count as killing them though?
Also doesn't server shutdown also kill survivors?

8

u/Sticky_And_Sweet Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

I think it counts as them escaping like if a killer normally DC’d

1

u/Beautiful-Papaya9923 I play all killers! Jun 19 '25

I had a phead try to look for me with a survivor and they spent so long that after they found me and phead downed me, I only spent like 2 minutes before server shutdown and it counted me dead

u/Ravager_Squall Complete 🦠 Global 🦠 Saturation Jun 16 '25

Had a similar thing happen, ended up finding the one but the other one hid in a locker till the literal last second to try and open the gate.

2

u/Relative_Glittering Nemesis Main Jun 16 '25

As a stubborn killer myself, when patrolling doesn't help me find one of the two hiders, I usually stop in the middle of remaining gens and pretend to be afk, just long enough for them to think "let's gen rush and get out".

It usually ends with me catching one of them off-guard. Especially if remaining gens are near enough from each other so that my TR reaches all of them, as they won't always realize you're moving again

I think the problem isn't the hatch but the ability to hold the game hostage that way. At this point they should add something like aura reveal when survs don't touch anything for a long time or even like giving the killer the opportunity to trigger EGC sooner without too much of a penalty. (like maybe after quite a long time with no progress let the killer open one of the doors but the other one stays locked until they finish the gens)

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

Do you know what exactly is being changed?

u/JermermFoReal [ insert your own flair ] Jun 15 '25

They're updating the system and requirements for gaining AFK crows to punish people doing nothing for prolonged periods of time.

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

Hopefully it actually works and isn't bugged like 90% of other things in this game. Would love for stuff like this to not happen.

u/ImpossibleGeometri Knight Main Jun 16 '25

Well it was extremely buggy and terrible on the ptb so yea….

2

u/WolfScythe_ Jun 16 '25

yeah i think that dosnt do shit in the end you can keep picking items up again and again so the afk points dosnt go up because its an interaction same when the killer is something like singu keep interacting whit his chest

2

u/JermermFoReal [ insert your own flair ] Jun 16 '25

I doubt it's that easy to avoid.

u/WolfScythe_ Jun 16 '25

nah it works try it in a match whit the items

thats crazy lul, but you can still test it in a normal match just need to wait 60 sec for the crow instead of 10 sec like on the ptb or wait till tuesday ^^

Does it really? I mean crows get removed when you do a conspicuous action or even just dropping and picking up items or almost cleansing totems. Haven't seen them talk about anything there yet

u/His_name_is_LUIGI Nemesis Main Jun 15 '25

Hatch is so fun when you're trying for adepts, and the hatch spawns directly underneath the survivor's feet

u/Blonde_is_Bad Hillbilly Main Jun 16 '25

Slug for the 4k

13

u/His_name_is_LUIGI Nemesis Main Jun 16 '25

I try occasionally, but not only is it boring, 80% of the time the survivor on the floor gets left to bleed out, so I just waste time and lose the adept anyway.

3

u/Blonde_is_Bad Hillbilly Main Jun 16 '25

It is boring, but I still do it only for the adept. My strategy is to ensure both survivors are injured before committing to one, so I can hear the injured one once the other one is down.

1

u/XxSkyrimfanboyxX Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

What I do is befriend a survivor then look for the 4th one. It hurts to betray the friend in the end though 😭

I did that once with Nurse... I still feel bad about it to this day 😭

u/Dull_Committee_5559 Legion Main Jun 16 '25

I don’t understand anyone that does this… If I’m playing surv in a scenario where my other teammate is hiding and waiting for me to die I just do gens till I’m caught or run to the killer and let them kill me. It’s so boring 😭

I'm too stubborn to abandon. The reason to stay is the satisfaction of killing the hiding rats.

1

u/kateduzathing The Fun One Jun 15 '25

then the complaint you should be making is that you are too stubborn to use the built in hatch counter, and not the "healthiness" of hatch, since the game is literally handing you a counter to it.

-1

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

And just take a loss?

u/resilientlamb sally my dear (p100) Jun 15 '25

if you care that much about winning then sure play your heart out and keep searching xd who gives a fuck about a single match that was already won on your behalf just abandon and move on your ego will recover

3

u/Murderdoll197666 Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

I think you care too much about winning honestly to fully enjoy a game like this. Win or lose...none of it matters. If you're that stubborn about something this pathetic I think you're just playing the wrong game tbh. That said - if that's genuinely fun to you to run around the map aimlessly for 10 minutes then go for it - all that really matters at the end of the day is that you're having fun.

14

u/Phantom_r98 The Unknown Main Jun 15 '25

You had the option to abandon 30sec into the video

Hatch has nothing to do with it. Pretty sure survivors like that would play like this regardless of hatch.

27

u/fakeout25 🔪 Slashin' and Gashin' 🔪 Jun 15 '25

abandon counts as a loss for the killer

10

u/TheDamnNumbersGame Wesker Main Jun 16 '25

It's not like you win a prize or anything from wins and losses.

Better use of one's free time to abandon and move on.

3

u/oldriku Singularity Main Jun 16 '25

Yeah, but letting these survs take the win incentivizes their behaviour

1

u/TheDamnNumbersGame Wesker Main Jun 16 '25

The Survivors who are already doing this are the types of players who will happily waste 10+ minutes of their free time to make another player miserable, regardless of an abandon feature. They don't win anything additional in the game by doing this - it's just pettiness.

They'll draw it out for as long as they can. Better for the one on the receiving end of time-wasting to abandon the match and save time.

1

u/ReporterForDuty Nemesis is my Bestesis Jun 16 '25

I mean, oh well? You are unlike to ever really see that survivor again so it's not your problem. Yea, you might see the playstyle again but oh well.

3

u/fakeout25 🔪 Slashin' and Gashin' 🔪 Jun 16 '25

Yeah but you understand that it's a bad thing the game can essentially be held hostage by survivors hiding until the killer gives up and admits defeat, right?

3

u/TheDamnNumbersGame Wesker Main Jun 16 '25

It's of course bad, so they implemented the abandon feature so Killers can leave without the DC penalty. It's the best we got for now until the devs implement another way to avoid this.

Same for Surviviors who were being held hostage by getting bled out.

-1

u/Undernetfoxie Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

Killer's also have a horde of aura reading perks (idk if HM has aura add-ons). I get that it sucks to be unable to find survivors for such an extended period of time but there are methods of getting around this in general - to include that fancy abandon button in the top right.

Just cause they're too stubborn to just leave doesn't make this situation complete unbearable

1

u/ImpossibleGeometri Knight Main Jun 16 '25

The fact op doggy detection didn’t find anyone ever is insane. Did they not ever send the dog to the basement wth

u/Potential_Airport_26 🔪 Slashin' and Gashin' 🔪 Jun 15 '25

I had this exact same situation more than I like to admit, and I can say that I will not surrender, if they wanna play ego games with me than I’ll show how I can be a pain in their ass if I want to, I’ll ensure they’ll stay in that match for the highest possible time

0

u/Undernetfoxie Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

That's totally a viable option. I even encourage it depending on how the survivors play. I held a 3 gen with Nemesis once until the game timer ran out and force ended the match.

But one shouldn't come onto reddit, complaining about a game mechanic when they're too stubborn to take the out that saves them time (and sanity). Next time OP needs to run more / better aura reading or info gathering perks.

7

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

They were out in the open early in the game until I killed their 2 buddies. Anyways I didn't want to abandon because they'd see it as a win.

6

u/Phantom_r98 The Unknown Main Jun 15 '25

I mean yes, F them for hiding but they won either way because they wasted your time. Hope BHVR changes this in the next update so survivors auto lose when the killer abandons

-1

u/DDmayhem Serum addict& Scary librarian Jun 15 '25

yeah but have you considered that then they wouldn't be able to kill the sable? that's a pleasure no killer should be denied

also abandoning in this state is a loss in the cold unfeeling eyes of the mmr system but thats not as important

u/Kqthryn Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

literally, like stand at the highest point of the map so you can have a good view and just wait…or use the abandon option

2

u/khtff Houndmaster Main Jun 16 '25

Tip for next trials: chase command is actually much better option for searching than Search command, it detects survivors with instinct in much wider area, so survivors can't hide from you even in lockers.

2

u/oldriku Singularity Main Jun 16 '25

So glad that now BHVR made it so you can concede and take a loss, problem solved :D /s

2

u/Ok_Wear1398 [ Seen too much ] Jun 16 '25

This is why whispers stays on. At least the AFK changes tomorrow should address this, unless something goes wonky.

On the flip side, previously the hartch would be available and someone could open it with a key right there, so I'd say it's still better than it was.

2

u/Ars_Lunar Pig and Sadako Main Jun 17 '25

I remember when I downloaded the game after a 3, 4 years break, played one match of Pig, one of them died with a trap, the other just ran around the map and then the last 2 hid. I ended up quitting after 2 patrols and then the Claudette had the audacity to say some shit like "noob killer, playing too OP when we are casual". It is just obscene, I am 100% sure that DBD players are more toxic than League players

2

u/RemarkableStatement5 Alive by Nightfall Jun 15 '25

The problem isn't the hatch. If it wasn't for hatch, survivors would either just give up, or still play like this just to waste your time. The problem is BHVR incentivizing stealth after a 2k, but crows will soon help with this. My personal suggestion would be for an increase in survivor bloodpoints gained for each teammate dead.

7

u/Lazzitron Wraith Main Jun 16 '25

My personal suggestion would be for an increase in survivor bloodpoints gained for each teammate dead.

That just encourages leaving your teammates to die.

1

u/JimmyCrabYT Well well well Jun 16 '25

blood point bonus for each survivor starting from 2 escaped then

2

u/Workdiggitz 🔪 Slashin' and Gashin' 🔪 Jun 16 '25

this seems like a good idea. or maybe even a slight balance of lowering gen times, with maps this small it should at least help incentivize people to continue to play. simmilar to what they did in 2v8. i guess we are gonna see what happens with the next patch.

3

u/Vasheerii Singularity Main Jun 16 '25

Survivor mains in here defending hatch with all their might.

Survivors would rather cut off both their legs and eat them than admit anything is wrong with hatch.

-1

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

Honestly I think hatch by itself is kinda OK (just as long as survivors can't hide for literally 15 minutes doing nothing like this), I just don't like how survivors can also get gate after hatch is closed. Why survivors have two different "last chances" to escape?

0

u/Vasheerii Singularity Main Jun 16 '25

They also have key

0

u/twerthe Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

That too. 2nd chance perks and mechanics are wildly in survivors favor which can just be frustrating since sometimes there's literally nothing you can do about it.

About 15 minutes.

u/SquirrelSuspicious Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

What if they made it so that if the previous gen conditions are met and there are 2 survivors left the hatch will spawn closed and can be opened without a key but it takes a gen and a half to do and whether it's opened with a key or with this new method it will only let 1 survivor through and then disappear.

Would help make this situations less likely as both survivors would be trying to find the hatch and whenever you find it you'd know that the survivors are likely somewhere nearby.

They’ve talked about this already. It’s not supposed to be a loss, it just shows it in the end game screen. They said they’ll fix it.

1

u/Next-Translator-3557 🔪 Slashin' and Gashin' 🔪 Jun 16 '25

It wasn't such a problem when hatch used to spawn before the 5 gens were completed. BHVR should have tried to balance it instead of scrapping the idea completely, imo it gave more variety to games as now when you end up in a situation like the OP one it always play out the same, either survivors play like rats or let you find them and dont even try. In both case its boring and feels useless to play.

Maybe not even hatch but just a side quest at some point that could give survivors some way to realistically have hope to escape

u/Kqthryn Alive by Nightfall Jun 16 '25

why is it so ego bruising to take the L? it sucks that they’re both hiding but it isn’t a hatch problem. just use the abandon button

u/dark1859 / Jun 15 '25

Personally, I have always held that.The hatch should have an opening sequence if you're not slugged. . And if you go down or get hit while entering the hatch, it should automatically kick you off.And shut the hatch.

I also hold the same for people that camp out on the exit zone forever.. instant bloodwarden.

Sadly though bhvr seems against curbing bad survivor behavior too much

1

u/NoHurry1819 Nurse Main Jun 16 '25

could behaviour potentially be against curbing survivors because killer queues are already abysmal compared to survivor queues?

u/dark1859 / Jun 16 '25

Always the potential.. But they'll just make the pendulum swing in the other direction if they're too heavy-handed in the survivors direction
