Lights Out Is Miserable As Killer

I have no idea where all these Survivors are that are scared to do anything during the dark. All my matches have been against people who play the exact same, except this event makes misdirection insanely stronger. If they're healthy, one 'blink and you miss it' moment leads to them disappearing, making your entire chase time redundant. Meanwhile gens fly by.

Also why the hell do Killers still have a Red Stain and Item Chests still spawn when loadouts are disabled and the Survivors scratch marks are hidden? Forget no terror radius supposedly making it "terrifying", these mechanics that exist make it miserable.

    That's crazy because it's super Killer sided. Like no joke, this mode is SUPER easy as killer. I say this as a Killer main myself.

    The lack of TR makes catching survivors off-guard on gens pretty easy, and once theyre injured theyre MUCH easier to track. The item chests at least give survivors SOMETHING to vary their games up. Otherwise itd just be slam gems and stare at nothing.

    Not if the gen is in a loopable tile or there is a loopable tile directly nearby. I did specifically say in my post "if they're healthy".

    And no, item chests should not spawn in this event, survivors should be "terrified", having access to Med-Kits etc does not do anything beneficial to the experience. Making Survivors feel safer ruins the game mode. They already have safe tiles to use, they don't need anything else. If you want them to feel like gens aren't the only thing to do, then make Dull Totems do something in this event. Maybe when you cleanse one, it reveals auras of all other Survivors to you for X amount of time.

    What calibre are you going against? I've had one of two matches since this post where they felt chill. All of the many other matches have been against Survivors that are hyper alert, have zero fear and are still cocky and taunt-spammy as they always are.
