Aren’t you always crying about something new? When you gonna actually stop playing then and just saying you will every day
3 -
First: By some reason i could only see your comment while replying to it.
Second: Dude, i only got back now to take the event rewards, but now ill only log in and take that #########. This game isn't worth to put my time on it. Every day it seems to get worst
3 -
Two words....
Corrupt Intervention. That will slow down the gen rush at the beginning.
3 -
But every day is a bit too much, i ######### gave up
4 -
Dude, it was 3 gens, and they werent even the far ones
4 -
If this happens to you that often then maybe you need to change your play style. I personally at max maybe had 2 gens pop but not 3. I normally use Whispers are Corrupt Intervention and I run straight to the furthest gen while run near the close ones near me while listening for noise. I am sorry you seem to have bad luck and hope you find a game that is more your speed. Best Wishes~

i used whispers, but not corrupt, but it werent going to change anything.
1 -
That sounds like a you as killer problem and not a genrush problem.
5 -
Man, the first gen got poped so ######### fast that didnt received even the notification. Also i was as trapper, what do you want me to do?
3 -
Corrupt is pretty much needed on Trapper for set up time to pick up and place traps.. So if you used the first minute in a half to put down traps without corrupt I understand why you got gen rushed
3 -
Yeah but with my actual strat it would be a problem
0 -
Fair enough.

A gen takes at least 80+ seconds with one person on it. If you are saying 3 gens popped before you found someone that means at least 2 gens had only 1 person on them and maybe the third gen had maybe 2. I feel like even if you went to one gen you should have found someone in that time so if this is a common problem for you then maybe it's your skill level and not the gen time. I am not sure how you are not finding one survivor. I mean heck I have games where I go out of my way NOT TO FIND ANYONE and still accidentally stumble on them so not sure how 3 gens are popping and in that 88 seconds you cant go to one of the four corners and find at least one survivor.
I just did research and a Gen with 1 person on it and no toolbox takes 80 seconds.
2 survivors on a gen is 47.06 seconds.
You are saying all your matches you start and instantly 3 gens pop. The math and stuff don't add up because at best if 3 gens are popping at the same time that means 1 person each on 2 separate gens and MAYBE the third gen might have the last 2 survivors. Then put into consideration that means you have a minimum of 47 to 80 seconds to find at LEAST one survivor before a gen pops. How are you always managing to go to the wrong gens and even if you do not moving fast enough to get to the next one and never finding one survivor? I mean you are looking at the gens right and not walking away from them or to the same gen over and over right?
I understand trapper is slow but maybe instead of placing traps ASAP go and get them off gens first then lay traps? I don't know but it sounds like you are using the same strategy over and over and expecting different results. You need to change it up or try a new killer maybe?

one gen got popped in less than 20 seconds, the another less 50 seconds and the last one in less than 70 seconds on the total time. After this, i think only in a few years ill back as killer. Going to ######### get another 2 years break, Devs cant even fix gen speed what about finish balancing the game
0 -
Also, its not every game that 3 gen pops in the same ######### time, its one that get popped in less than 20 seconds. really, just ######### that game
0 -
This is reads like an exaggeration. Gens can go fast but players who feel this way should bring a timer so they can learn how much time they’re wasting at the start of matches.
4 -
You were playing trapper so that makes a massive difference. I also agree that you should've brought corrupt, especially as trapper.
I'd say try another killer for a while or play survivor. You just get some games where survivors are optimal with gens.
3 -
i was playing as trapper so yeah, i lost 20 seconds placing traps until it happens, and no, i am not exagerating, that ######### was this fast. after that ######### i DCed
0 -
I am not going to play that ######### again for a while, only log in to receive this ######### reward and then play something else. Even Roblox is better on balancing than this
0 -
This makes me wonder how many matches I've 4k'd that you would've DC'd out of. DC'ing and exclaiming that you are a DC'ing killer does not win sympathy points from me.
I know the woes of trapper and losing a gen, two, or three at the start of the match. But the second half of the game gets significantly easier as survivors get hooked, there are fewer pallets on the map (shortening chases), and the area to patrol is compressed.
3 -
trapper is a ######### killer when it comes to stopping gens
0 -
The gens usually go pretty fast but normally I do alright and win. But yesterday I had a game where like every gen was touched and when I went to it nobody was there and they just kept popping left and right. Just every gen was going it was like I was vs 7 survivors lol.....I managed to hook two at the end game tho and knock the unhooked down and one got away. But I was sure I was gonna lose that game.
0 -
I wouldn't say the whole game isn't balanced. Played 15 games today of killer with only 1 game having more than 1 person escape. Played Ormond twice, Disturbed Ward, Haddonfield, Mothers Dwelling and Midwitch so it's not like I was having killer favoured maps.
Trapper is just very bad at pressuring gens. For me one of the worst killers in the game.
1 -
I like bubba in this situation. Get genrushed less than 2 minutes. And they all die course noed and no way hook saves lol
0 -
I quit killer a while ago.
1 -
Dude, i was playing as trapper, what do you want from me????
0 -
DUDE, it was 3 gens in less than 70 seconds, i am not playing that ######### until BHVR fix gen speed. Also, you have your way to play i have mine.
0 -
To try and learn a different play style or different killer but don't assume the survivors are OP because of this match. I think that is what he wants. I am just taking a stab in the dark but could be wrong.
1 -
Dude, the game is unbalanced because, there are no gens easy to patrol in some maps, maps that are small, is a pain on the ass because it is usually a Maze or have so many pallets that you cant do #########. Also, as you can see on this post, 3 gens in 70 seconds, how am i going to do anything
1 -
It wasnt only this match. I already played a lot survivor too and the difference of skill cap is HUGE, i could rank 1 survivor easily solo(And i did it), gen speed is fast and by many other matches, dont matter the killer, matter the map.
0 -
Dude, i really dont ######### know more about if i am really good or not, but that ######### going this fast, this is the real #########, to be honest, when i back playing this game, i barely saw BHVR do something right, they dont care about killers since Beta. This Game Dont have the same essence that it had back days. Survivor still too easy and most bugs only ######### up with killers
1 -
Already watched him, it got so boring after some time. Also, only on his videos that he shows a bit of good control, but thats because he got potato survivors. If you watch his stream, you going to see that he, even playing good, get ######### because gen speed
0 -
Also, i dont want tips since i wont play that ######### for a while
0 -
The game could be pretty rough and its toxic community doesn't make things any better. While you will find a few helpful comments, most of the responses you'll receive from this will be either bad faith arguments or insults. The people in the forums are very selective in their empathy.
5 -
Yeah but i already saw more people on this forum at least trying to help than devs and mods helping
0 -
Reapplying failed results over and over while expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
2 -
Rebot the system and try again
0 -
That was my point. He keeps playing the same way over and over with no chance of wanting to try any one else's idea's and then is surprised when he cant kill. It is like sticking my finger in the light socket over and over and expecting it not to shock me. I mean YEEEAAAHH there might be a chance if someone turned the power off but the chances are slim to none.
3 -
Not really it quite literally is.
Though from what I have seen your playstyle is a issue. Corrupt Intervention is almost necessary on set up killers like Myers, Hag, and Trapper for people who are just beginning them. A good way to play is a perk that slows down the game, a perk to speed you up, a perk for situational awareness, and a utility perk. I.E Corrupt Intervention, Save the Best for Last, Infectious Fright, and Thrilling Tremors.
If your having trouble finding survivor's that's a you issue not a game issue.
2 -
Not being trying to be rude at all but what is your idea of what gen times should be? I mean 80 seconds solo seems reasonable. If me as a killer cannot get to a gen in 80 seconds to pressure the survivor away that is on me not the developers. I mean 3 gens! You could not manage to get to one to stop any of it? That is not gen time that is skill level and play style problems. I won't post anymore because it is an endless loop but unless they boost gen times to 2 minutes each which would be crazy at the moment it takes a minute and 20 seconds solo without toolbox. In that minute most killers can move around the maps fast enough to scare survivors and make them run and make scratch marks.
I guess maybe stick with survivor because personally I have not seen many people having troubles as killer or survivor recently. I think at the moment honestly the game is at a good spot. It seem like both killers and survivors are balanced right now. I suck at killer and even as nurse one of the hardest killers to learn can apply pressure using only 2 perks. Sorry once again this seems to happen to you often but still not sure why or how.
1 -
Nope, I try new strats every single time, well, I used too

Some people are trying to give you advice, yet you respond to them with negativity. If gens were done that fast, it was a lack on your part as killer. If they finished the gens by you, it means you disregarded checking on them. If this was as big a problem, you should've adapted to what had happened in your previous games. Like many have said use Corrupt Intervention. It allows you to force survivors to one half of the map. If you run Whispers too that helps you find someone quicker.
2 -
He said he runs whisper so I am even more confused as to why he could not get to a gen in time and find someone. I agree at this point though it is like talking to a wall that wont change and put in a window for a new point of view. =)
2 -
It is kind of both. You get points for applying pressure and winning chases. I mean without preventing gen repairs how else would you find survivors? lol Also you can get 25-30k blood points without even killing one survivor if you win chases and apply pressure. (prevent repairs)
You are right though that the person should breath and rethink their strategy or take a break.
1 -
I can take that.
0 -
just take a break, playing killer can be sucks sometimes you just have to cool up your head and start to think how to play killer efficiently
0 -
I run Whispers myself because I am ######### horrible at locating people, I have really bad mental issues that cut into my sense of awareness, but it alone doesn't do the trick. If I had to give advice to the OP it'd be to think like a survivor on top of using Whispers.
1 -
Exactly! I use whispers and use it like a hot and cold game. The louder the whisper the closer the survivor plus think like a survivor while using it. Think if the survivor is not at the gen but it has been touched the should be close. It really does work and listen to the whispers the louder it gets the closer you are the less you hear the farther away. =)
1 -
I couldn't find anyone, cuz I was placing traps
0 -
You could try playing but worry less about kills and more about the fun of chasing someone.
I know it's not the same for everyone but the chase truly is the most fun part.
Don't tunnel though because the game needs to be fun for everyone trying
It's better to have good sportsmanship as a killer than go into a game expecting a 4k only to be met with swf who know youre only in it for the kills.
