The hud

Does stake outside 1% work on successful great skill checks
I looked it up and some1 said 2.5 years ago that it was a bug, but was intentionally kept in, so I wonder if that's the case now. I was wondering if successful great skill checks also grant 2% progression, or does it have to be a good one that converts into a great, consuming a token, causing the 2%?
The Plague
What do you think about the plague? Isn't it too strong? Does it need a nerf?
Why does anticamp not go up when Singularity is in his biopods while near the hook?
Singularity stayed near my hook within range of anticamp, went into his biopods and stayed there for my entire first stage and the anticamp bar did not go up at all. So you take away the slowdown upon leaving the biopods near the hook because we have an anticamp system now, but that anticamp system doesn't work when he's…

What counts as bumping up a thread?
More specifically, what determines it being a case of bumping up a thread? Is there a certain time period during which you shouldn't write comments? Do the comments need to have certain purpose other than bumping up a thread? Is there an internal "3 strikes and you're out system?
Game Porting Toolkit
Is it possible to play on mac using the GPTK program? Did anyone try?
In your experience, what is the worst time to play?
I tend to play after 10pm CST because that’s when I have the most time, and for some reason it’s all level one survivors with maybe a level nine in the lobby for the most part. It feels weird that it’s only around that time that I see that, so does anyone else have a time that they know has mostly new players or anything…

Future 2v8 questions
Will we be able to vote which killers will be added if there is a second iteration? I assume its also going to be just 5 (+ the previous ones so 10 total). Is it going to be more or less than 5?

When inviting or being invited by any of my friends on the same platform, after a long wait of nothing, the game just pops up an error stating that the invite failed and is no longer available/valid/something of the sort. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just part of the developers' seemingly intentional…

Issue made itself known yesterday when I tried inviting my partner. And they couldn't join, saying the text above basically, same thing happened if they invited me.
