Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

    I mean, you left the topic to begin with, but alright.

    I gave you an answer to the question in my original reply, they are toxic individuals, they do not care about what side you are playing or what side they are playing, if something happens that they do not like, they take it out on others.

    That's it, that's the answer to your question, that's why people feel the need to send threats and such (even if it is pointless).

    you left the topic to begin with,

    Nope. I asked a Question to another user (not you, but Dreamnomad)

    I gave you an answer to the question in my original reply,

    You attempted to answer it by placating me with irrelevant points and going off topic, accusations of moral character and a misunderstanding of the question not posed to you. I did not say "just survivors" and I did not suggest that the blame is only on Survivors. Then you accuse me of generalizing AND HATING survivors, What??? I didn't even say it was just survivors. You assumed that, straight off the bat.

    If you are done with the assumption game you run here, then maybe we can talk about the social influence Survivors have with the weight of death threats and have a productive conversation instead. (yes, it was a rhetorical question.)

    First killers complain about DS and DH hard because they help extend chases. They get nerfed, as does distance when getting hit. Cooldown is buffed for successful attacks. Pallets break faster, pick up animations are also faster. Killers complain about .0001 of players that locker flashlight save and they get nerfed. Then killers complain about CoH and Self care and healing gets nerfed (CoH) twice and is still being called out for needing more nerfs. Medkits are also said to be a problem. So no healing and looping is bad. Got it. Then they complain about genrushing so gens get an extra 50 seconds of gen time with the addition of buffs (overcharge and old Eruption) and additional gen slow downs (CoB). So looping is bad, doing gens is bad, healing is bad, and flashlight saving is bad. What do you want survivors to do? Oh yeah, tap a gen being regressed with CoB and Overcharge for 30 mins against a killer given babysitting AI. Oh boy!

    P.S. Yes it's an "us vs. them" post. Anything else you notice other than that Sherlock?

    P.S. P.S. I'm not arguing the fairness or unfairness of any of these changes, just pointing out the double standard.

    This is why the devs should implement a match limit of 25 minutes max. They can then balance killers and maps around that limit and prevent long boring matches.

    Should have been done a long time ago.

    To actually provide a solid response when Im not sleep deprived (I had been working on a college essay with like 4 hours of sleep when I responded, but now I am better rested):

    I never said that you said it was "just Survivors", if you actually look at posts Ive made, youll know that I use " ", - -, * *, and a lot of commas to highlight points that I am making. You can go through others post I have made and see it for yourself, I hold on shame in it since to me it is normal and 95% of my posts are boring for the average person to read through when I use my normal writing style, sometimes I do write things differently because most people find it boring but most follow the same style.

    Quotations markers can be used a literary tool more than just quoting things, since I can bring implied information or hypotheticals with quotations markers that were not present in the original post since I am able to use them as a literary tool and stretch the rules... or to simplify it, it is my writing style that I use a lot (since I am college and my writing style holds over to normal life), quotes from me can be exact quotes, near quotes, interpretations, and assumptions since such is require for the formatting I use often (MLA, APA, and ASA).

    I do not blame you for interpreting and assuming what I said was directed with malice or in a negative way, since my writing style is different than what you will see in most cases, considering the fact that I am a lot more formal with things (again, feel free to check out the other posts I have made and see for yourself). And often I do tend to forget that what I can say can be interpreted a different way, so my apologies.

    Also when you leave a question in the air for anyone on a public forum, expect people, anyone, to respond because it is a public forum. If you want to keep a discussion private, then go ahead and move the discussion to a private place. You asked a question, I answered and provide a perspective of looking at it using interpretations and hypotheticals. I never accused you of anything directly nor was that my intention.

    Well tbf, they reduced the max timer to an hour not to long ago. But yeah 25-30 minutes should be the max amount of time a match takes.

    Or even better, both sides should have the option to concede. Like the killer opening the gates without any gen requirements and survivors to bleed out faster/die after wiggling off 3 times in a row.

    Speaking of maligned killer strategies, I miss AFK pig, that was some genuine cheese and made for some very funny moments.

    You'd get a lot of hate but really no more than any other killer playstyle when it works and you get kills.

    I died to it once with an unavoidable head pop and I was magically still alive in real life and no worse for wear because its only a game, so I queued up for another game as survivor and moved on with my life.

    Many players haven't mastered that last part yet on either side.

    As a killer you're there to be teabagged, and flashlighted.

    And anything else they want to do.

    I'm not going to preface every impossible question to my question in my question to another user. Maybe some sleep should help you, if you don't understand why that isn't a reasonable request. There are reasonable assumptions and unreasonable assumptions. You are telling me even though you direct a tirade about "just survivors", generalizing and hating to me from one single question I asked someone else, that I am then supposed to believe it isn't about me? HARDLY. None I showed this back and forth to has taken that direction.

    Again, I do not blame you for assuming such, since language can be interpreted in different ways, what I write down might not be received the way I thought it would be, that is just how things go sometimes, and funnily enough, this is probably the 4th or 5th this Ive had to have a discussion like this before, I rarely directly quote someone and 95% of the time use quotations for interpretations and hypotheticals, but I guess I should maybe make things much clearer going forwards since at this rate confrontations like this will continue to happen.

    What kind of answer are you hoping for here? How am I supposed to answer how other players justify their own actions? But let's just go ahead and play along here. Whatever survivors say doesn't mean killers have to listen. But if you know that your playstyle is going to upset the opposing team then you should expect angry comments. Just minimize your chat box post game and ignore/block any form of communication they might have with you. They can just cry, scream, curse, and threaten an empty room with no ears all they want. Boom. Problem solved. Just play the game the way you want.
