Exit gate exploit needs to be fixed , survivors should not be able to 99% the exit gate

The exigate needs to lose progress, If the survivor is not holding it, that's literally all very easy fix, can be done in a week, the survivor should not have a third choice , it's either open the gate or don't open at all , no gray area that's an exploit , exit gate need to have regression, This is a survival horror game, not a comedy joke walk through, you don't feel trapped at all, With this exploit, still in the game, survivors are supposed to feel trapped and helpless , not 100% hopeful all the time

    I think removing 99ing would be a fun experiment. I feel it would add a bit more mental pressure to the survivor side and spice things up a bit. Might need to do a pass on endgame perks then though.

    Calling 99ing an "exploit" is a bit much.

    Why is it so hard for the Killers to open the Gates themselves but want a forfeit option if getting Genrushed or during End Game when Survivor take too long to leave.

    99ing gates literally kills more people than it saves. This would nerf killer.

  • I don't think killer needs any buffs right now, and removing 99ing would be a direct buff to killer assuming nothing else was adjusted, but would it not make for more interesting matches if EGC was a mechanic that people had to actually play around more often rather than just a thing that forces matches to end and occasionally kills altruistic SWFs?

    I'm not sure that it would. If there was some form of gate regression or other mechanic that forced/encouraged the EGC to start sooner it very well may just cause survivors to leave more often and not stick around for endgame saves/altruism that they might be willing to attempt without time pressure, which would just make games shorter in some cases. Overall I don't think this would be an improvement.

    Maybe. Could try adding some chunky incentives to go for last minute plays though. Big BP bonuses, action speed modifiers, enabling survivors to self-heal during EGC, maybe throw in void portals or replenish some pallet spawns with party (differently themed obviously) pallets. Tons of ideas you can play around with. I dunno, I just like the idea of a more thrilling EGC. Anything to diversify the gameplay experience.

    I understand why it's been untouched though.

    You know as killer you can just open the gates yourself and start EGC right?
