More Base Blighted Hooks
With most people already finishing their survivor nectar farming, and being unable to farm themselves, less and less people are bringing petals into games, and having only 3-4 hooks on average per game for killers is rediculous. Survivors can still easily max a vial even if only they use the petal, but killers have to play 2 games per vial almost every time. Im up to 8 vials and only 1 was a single game vial...thats 15 games for 8 vials. If im lucky ill finish this event just around 50 games, and ill have to start burning blood points on killers i dont really want to play just to be able to get the petals to do this.
Is there any way the game can start with even 3-4 blighted hooks, that way even if only 2 survivors use one, and the killer does, they have even a moderate chance of finishing a vial during the game.
With lobbies taking 15 - 30 minutes to fill, this is a nightmare to complete the other 30 vials.
That or perhaps just make a 60 vial cap, where you can farm any number between killer/survivor but can only farm up to 60 before you stop getting vials. This seems a much more player friendly way to handle this, particularly if people dont like being killer, or dont like certain killers.

3-4 hooks a game is enough. It's not like you are gonna have a perfect game every single time. Vial doesn't empty itself until a new game starts anyway. 2 games=1 vial Edit at the end of October lobbies are not gonna take so long anymore

Keep in mind that on ranks under 5, 2 games = 1.5 hrs waiting in lobby due to matchmaking time3 -

I'm rank 6 and I am waiting 30+ minutes between every game.

Not nearly. Im rank 14 and its only going lower every game even if i let survivors leave for the sake of the event. And im still running close to 20 - 30 mins today, and its only going to get worse the lower down i get. And getting vials is only going to get harder, for toxic/try hard players that use the event to distract and gen rush, pallet loop, and decisive their way into screwing you out of nectar.

It also depends when you are playing too. In the evening you get lobby faster

Doesnt make much sense really.

The only problem with the hooks is that on many occasions I've come across event hooks all on the same side of the map - which is annoying.

Was very disheartening, even with iron grasp lvl 2 wasnt even close to getting to a good hook

Agreed with the last part of your suggestion. If they do something like this again for future events, the limited currency should have a flat cap regardless of which method you earn them by.
In regards to the nectar filling for killers, instead of how it currently only fills 1/6th of the vial they could make it so it fills 1/3rd of the vial instead. Seeing as the survivor equivalent of the task - fully harvesting cankers fill up a little over 1/3rd of their vials.

Agreed; 3 hooks should be a full vial. So much harder to get a vial on Killer than it is on Survivor.

Not according to survivors.
Then survivors are insane, a buddy and i filled all 30 vials in 2 days but gained 20 full vials in a 7 hour stint(never DCing on purpose, always letting the killer farm us for hooks as well). Ive spent about that much time on a killer, and much of it was in a lobby and im barely at 11.5. its hard as hell to find groups where 3/4 of the survivors petal, and thats if survivors also arent toxic, blinding and pallet looping you into oblivion where you dont even get the base amount of hooks you need. Survivors have it super easy this event, and can easily all 4 fill in a single game by sharing flowers. Out of my 11 vials completed only 1-2 were a full vial game.

I know that, you know that, every killer main knows that. But survivor mains think it's harder for them, because reasons.Draggonoth said:@Tsulan said:
