Flashlight saves

More than a few times, as a killer I pick up a survivor, another survivor runs up TOO late to get the flashlight save, they start the blind anyways, I turn 180 degrees from the blind.... I'll say this again, I turn 180 degrees AWAY FROM THE BLIND, and like magic, I'm blinded and they get the save.

I know it's not just me, I see this happen to other killers and it's pisses me off to see it happen to them as well.

It's time to tweak your numbers again.

Other than that and a few other things, I generally happy with the state of dbd.

Thanks <3

-my post was edited by the forum mod... in the beginning I stated that I had bad language in my post, because of how pissed off I was. I also said I would calm down in a few min. after I get this off my chest, witch I did, but this unnecessary edit just pissed me off again, THANKS.

    Yeah I've been trying to level up my Plague and this has already happened 8 times today to me. I turn away from the blinder because they did it to later and they got the save.

    I'm pretty sure this is just latency at work.

    Nope, everyone in the match was at 60 ping or lower, I checked.

    Most likely Latency. Also chances are you were at 99% and it triggered at the last possible second. I've never been an actual 180 degree and had this happen. You probably turned significantly less than you're saying. Or you have a bad connection and thats why this is happeneing.

    It IS possible to get blinded slightly out of your site range when timed perfectly. Which is extroardinarily dumb, but I assume thats to do with potential FOV increasing perks like M&A and Shadowborn. Happened to me a few times and doesn't feel very fair.

    It's also possible, while rare that there were two survivors one either side. This has happened to me before and the red/white screen has prevented me from even seeing the other survivor, causing me to think I was cheated when I just got outplayed.

    Having 3,500 hours invested in this game, I understand all factors you stated. However, none of these were/are the case.

    I'm going to make this VERY clear.... --------> before the recent flashlight changes, I've NEVER had saves like THIS happen <--------

    Is that clear?
