People love made up rules that benefit them.
Play how you want to play, just don't bm people, simple. Those crying entitled children can cry as much as they want.

I mean it’s basically a 3v1, you could just go easy on them, but nowadays killer mains have no sense of empathy so obviously you have to try hard to get that 3k.

No, there are no rules about having to Farm. Many people will simply farm when someone disconnects early in the game. It is not, however a requirement.

Tbf, the DC is completely out of the Killer's control. Ironically, it is the Survivor who DC'd who lacks 'empathy' (Kind of weird to use that word considering that we're just talking about a video game here).

I take it easy but that's me. The way I see it (as killer) I have now missed out on the opportunity of at least 3 chases and 3 hooks so I want to at least get the remaining 9 and 3 stacks of BBQ. Had a Game Monday that was complete BS I was playing with one friend we load in and there is only 3 survivors didn't even show a a 4th portrait so they had to dc in loading so not sure why it allowed game to continue. Upon seeing this our other random quit now leaving just myself and friend against a nemesis with Corrupt, Pop, BBQ, and Lethal. My friend was in a chase instant when he was downed I popped a gen. Nemesis followed me to the hook hit me as I unhooked, down me after unhooked, chased and downed my injured friend, game over. No one got #########. This is trash and why I will at least farm the remaining hooks it give the survivors the chance to do something and gets me my points. It's not there fault who is one there team.

If a survivor dc's at five gens, the other three survivors might just dc as well because that match is over. It is just a cycle of "one guy on hook - one guy getting chased - one guy going for the unhook" until everyone is dead.
If I'm a survivor in such a match and the killer is still trying hard to get everyone dead as quickly as possible I just suicide on hook and move on to the next one.

One: its not a rule,
Two: You'd be surprised by how many survivors hate farming when there's only one DC.
So for me its mainly when in the match they DC.
As a survivor who DCs on death hook I wouldn't farm with the remaining team over(Especially when they DC after I down them).
If a survivor DCes before the first down then maybe.
Or if two non death hook survivors DC.

That's my rule when I play killer.
If someone DC at the start I just play around with them help the BP grind😀why not.
No need to punish the other 3 for someone DCing, but hey play how you want.

Not really.
I sometimes do it, but i usually continue like normal.
Trial's ######### anyways, not gonna be bothered if it gets ######### up a bit more.

Yesterday I had a doctor at hawkins that kept tryharding after 3 of my teammates dc'ed 30 secs after the match started. Luckily I managed to open an exit gate and when I asked him why he didn't go easier on me he said "because I can". Most killers have no empathy, I would've let the last survivor go because it isn't their fault their teammates ditched them. You're going to depip anyway so why be a douche?

Obviously there is no rule.
but I have seen killers starting to hard tunnel and camp in such scenarios and starting to bm in after chat while not provoked by the survs in the slightest ways… that is not necessary in this case. It is already a win for the killer if the killer just slightly knows how to play. But that’s just my personal take on it.
2 -
a couple things.
1st - Please get out of this pedestal you put yourself in. someone playing a game has nothing to do with their empathy.
2nd -
3rd - people like you is why this joke exists
don't be like this.
8 -
it's not a rule
even with a dc I still don't go easy with them because farming is so boring
1 -
Maybe they crashed or had something irl? People have a life you know
2 -
OR, the killer doesn't want to be stuck in a super boring 10+ minute farm? Have some empathy. Sheesh
6 -
They don’t have to farm, but they can go easy? You have to be the worst killer ever if you still try so hard even with someone disconnecting
2 -
It's always so fun to see how annoying people fabricate these invisible rules. Super dumb.
2 -
I just quit or go afk. Farming is incredibly dull and not worth the time if there aren't already multiple BPS in play.
0 -
No, most Killers just want to get on to the next match and farming with you could have wasted twenty minutes of his/her life. The quitters already wasted the match. I see this all the time; some pathetic losers spoiled your match and doomed you and YOU blame the Killer instead. Grow up.

I don't like farming as killer or survivor, I will play the game normally. Survivor is a team based part of the game, if someone dc's it's not the killers fault. Run 5 party streamers? Still not going to farm.
I think a dc should give the killer the stacks towards perks like lullaby and bbq, not devour though, since they get robbed by a dc.
Also what about people dcing for the final survivor to get hatch, can't farm then can we.

Farming is not necessary, however, there are different ways to handle it:
Good way: Play nice, let everyone get some Unhooks, dont tunnel, dont camp. You most likely won anyway when the DC was early, at least everyone gets some points (including you).
Neutral way: Play normally, just like the DC never happened. This will give less points and a less enjoyable experience for the Survivors, but, you end the game faster.
Bad way: You have one person on the Hook and another person slugged and you leave them there to go for the 3K (really nice, Killer left with like 10k points...)
Worst way: Two people DCed and you decide to let the other two bleed out because they (the ones who stayed in the game...) ruined your game (yep, this happend two days ago. Was fun to be responsible for other people DCing..).
In general, I try to play nice. Or just let the Survivors go, like, today I played a game and someone crashed immediatly when the match loaded. So I just played normally, but made sure to not hook someone 3 times.

When i see they are not a SWF and just got unlucky with a random DC i usually play normal and let 1 or 2 escape. It's not their fault after all, the game is ruined for both sides. But at the end everyone should just play how they feel like in such a situation.
I personal think farming is boring.

I keep playing with 1 DC, because meta is so survivor side that even in a 1 vs 3 the game is kinda balanced.
With 2 DCs or 1 DC+early hook suicide I usually let them escape (unless one of them BMed with flashlight, tbag, etc).

I just tell you how i handle it. As a survivor, i dont like farm games, i want the game over as fast as possible. I will try to play the game, and if my teammates give up, i hope to get the hatch. Farming makes me go afk, because its a waste of my time.
If i play killer, i try to decide: If the player dcéd because he was downed, tough luck. Your teammate left you after being outplayed, not my fault, blame him.
If it was a "real" dc, or at least i think (happening at the very start after loading in, or someone dcs that is in a safe spot while someone else is in a chase) then i will keep playing the game (without camping and tunneling), but i will make sure to never hook someone more than twice. After that, its the slug. If i get all 3 people down, at the same time, ready to hook, i just let them go and go afk so they can finish gens and go out.
The game is a lot more relaxed that way ^^.

Agreed. When I get an early quitter I don't openly farm. I change gears, and will let them catch up enough hooks to make the game competitive again. Victories mean nothing to me unless they were earned, so I have to reset. The fact everyone gets more points out of it is great. The key is not to let them KNOW because if they THINK you are farming with them, they get mad at you later when you kick back into gear.

I play survivor exclusively and I never want to farm. I don't care if all 3 of the other survivors DC'd in the first 10 seconds. I'm not opposed to letting the killer hang me and be done with it in that situation so we can both move on to the next match, but the moment a killer makes it obvious they're farming...... that's the only time I DC. I'd rather take a 5 minute penalty for a DC then spend 10 minutes farming.
0 -
I never mentioned farming with the killer, if he let me escape through the hatch or open an exit gate the match would've been over in less than a minute. We both could've moved on to the next game almost instantly but he kept playing so I did the same.
0 -
And if you let him hook you, it would be over in half that time.
But I guess is the killer that has to be the one to concede and let it end...right?
2 -
And why should he/she do that? The Killer got hit in the Pips and BP also when those idiots disconnected. He/she still has a job to do. Why does your job take precedence in value? Get real. You are just another entitled person blaming the WRONG Players for why you got screwed over. You should have started a thread ranting about bad sports who disconnect and leaving you hanging; instead, you attacked the only other Player in the game who had the ethics to play it to the end. Grow up.
1 -
That is understandable. The blame still falls solely on them however. It is both unrealistic as well as unfair, to expect the Killer to farm or to 'play nice'. Genuine question though, how exactly would you define 'going easy'? Do you mean letting one or more people escape? Do you mean intentionally allowing gens to be completed so they feel they have a chance? Is it both? Or do you really mean farming?
2 -
It's not a rule. Turn off chat, you'll have a better experience especially when you don't have players on either side telling you made up rules. While sometimes it can be nice to farm when other team has someone DC you definitely do not have to farm if you don't want to.
I've had killers farm, or atleast take it easy, once a player DCs because it helps the killer get more BP and pip. I've also had killers just completely destroy the remaining survivors and the game is over quickly with everyone dying on first hook because they want to quickly move on to next match. Either choice is fine because it's not killers fault someone DC'd - and honestly with second scenario odds are it would've been same quick match even with 4th teammate just now there's a DC'd player to blame.
Being 3v1 isn't always a death sentence either. I've had games where there's 1 teammate that is basically sabotaging the rest of the team from getting anything done. Once they're out of the game the team actually does way better and escapes because the killer took out the weakest link that was hurting the team more than helping. I've had games where 1 DCs, killer definitely is trying hard wanting kills, but all 3 still escape.

When I play survivor, it's a pleasant surprise when the killer allows us to farm, but I certainly don't expect it, and I don't blame them if they don't. It's the fault of whoever quit on me/us at the start of a game.
When I play killer, I'll almost always give the last survivor the hatch/door, but I won't go into farm mode immediately (unless I'm playing Pig and someone Boops -- but I'll go into farming mode regardless if that happens, DC or not). If the DC is a rage quit, then that doesn't warrant any different treatment (mainly since I don't know who else in the lobby is with them, and I don't want to reward a rage-quitter's teammates).
Essentially, farming with a DC is an option, depending on the circumstances, but it's definitely not a "rule" and should not be expected, but appreciated when it happens.
1 -
It's better for points overall, but it's far from a "rule". up to you to play nice that survivor is just salty.
0 -
Wow, it's a Sluzzy that keeps it subtle for a few posts. Looks like the Sluzzy always gets out eventually though.

My general rule is to go easy and let the survivors essentially go (once I hook them twice, I just stop trying to hook them again as I'll "lose track of the survivor" if I wound them and they'll be killed if I drop them). But that is my personal rule (just like I won't tunnel or camp unless absolutely necessary), not a game rule.
HOWEVER, if survivors want to sit here and spout off about killers not having empathy, this is another "look in the damn mirror" moment as I've STILL gotten GGEZ messages from survivors after doing this. Like...it should have been painfully obvious that I wasn't attempting to kill you and you still have the audacity to mock me because you won? Like the "I used to be a nice killer but survivors were such jerks about it that I stopped" threads we see every so often, I absolutely understand why a killer might just say F it and put a bullet in the game ASAP. It sucks for me as a survivor but I get it.
3 -
It's only a rule in the survivor rulebook.
2 -
Depends when it happens. If it's early on (4/5 gens) I just lose all interest in trying and will generally dick about as killer. Not the others survivors fault or mine (hell with the current patch it might not be the persons either). I'd rather we all got something out of the game than nothing.
1 -
If I'm killer and a survivor DC's at the start of a match I'll either follow suit or I'll delete the next two survivors asap so I can get into a match that'll actually be interesting. Last one can have hatch.
Blaming killers for survivors dcing is ridiculous and makes you sound like a parody account, which we have enough of
4 -
Personnally if there's one insta / early DC I don't expect the killer to farm as survivor and as killer i just go easy on the survivors. However if there's two DCs and the killer try-hard i'll just sacrifice myself and as killer i let the survivors do the gens and leave (i don't bother farming 'properly' aka hit the survivors to let them heal, go find pallets to get hit etc i just don't have the patience lol)
1 -
Weren't you supposed to 1v1?
2 -
post like these is why survivor mains are brushed off as sluzzy wanabe and any genuine criticism they have is ignored by posters.
this happens in any other video game with a competitive aspect, if the someone dc, the opposite team will almost always take advantage of the situation. This is not a "lack of empathy" its just how the gaming community as always been.
2 -
I do it when there's an early or insta-DC. Not because of any rule or "rule" but because it does nothing but potentially turn the game into a waste of time for all involved, and I think of making sure the people met behind her their points as my way of punishing the one who left.
Later then that I consider it less of a mitigating factor. Especially if they were in death hook anyway.
0 -
True, but I kind of expected it. That isn't the first time it has happened either. Lots of people let their mouths write checks here that their bodies can't cash. I'm sure he felt a pucker when I said, "ok, now is good." *I'm paraphrasing of course, and he promptly picked that gauntlet he threw down back up and headed for the tree line. It's all good. The act demonstrated his credibility, or lack thereof, far better than anything I could say.

1v1 me snipers only Shipment noob!!!
Ah to be young again...
(...oh God, will anyone even recognize that reference!???!!!)

Just because a survivor DCed or got DCed doesn't stop it from also being a person playing Killer. I think it actually says more about the person playing the Killer, because the person playing the Killer is making the conscious decision to make the game even more miserable for the survivors who are already in a miserable situation. This isn't a job, this is a game with 5 different people. What you do affects other people in the game.
2 -
I personally either farm or at least go easy on the remaining survivors and let someone get hatch if there is a DC. If you want to curbstomp the poor survivors that are left hanging when one or more of their teammates DC’s, it’s definitely not against the rules but my personal opinion is that’s kind of scummy
2 -
Apparently because when I'm the killer and someone leaves I get messages saying that I'm being mean or whatever but like I just want to get it over with tbh, can't be bothered to farm. So boring.
2 -
It depends on how early the dc was and my mood (if I'm killer).
If it was an early dc and I'm in a good mood, sure, let's farm.
Other times I just want to play a real match and farming is boring so I'll quickly kill them to get on with a new match.
Late dc I usually don't play any different other than I'll probably let the last guy get hatch.
