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.

New Crows and Go Next

I understand what they’re trying to do with both of these new changes but they genuinely don’t work as they want it to.

The crows, I get the new change but it’s not working as I think they thought it would. Why am I get crows on me while I’m crouched hiding from the killer as they’re damaging the gen I was on and I’m waiting for them to leave?? Better yet I was running across the map avoiding the killer as he was in a chase with my friend and I was getting crows cause I wasn’t doing anything?? I’m seeing people say they can be doing something and they’re still getting crows cause apparently according to you guys as a dev team we aren’t playing it the right way. If you want crows this way don’t have the time so short cause apparently the game can’t decide if we are playing correctly even when we are.


As for the go next thing, FIX IT. I had a match last night 3 of us got on hook EARLY ON and someone ended up in the 2nd hook state cause NO ONE COULD SAVE THEM RIGHT AWAY. I almost hit the second hit state but I got lucky cause the ONLY SURVIVOR NOT HOOKED HAD CAME TO GET ME. I get what you guys are trying to do but why are the survivors that are in situations like that only option is “oh bring a perk or offering” or better yet “oh just abandon the match” OH BETTER YET HAVING TO FULLY MISS 5 SKILL CHECKS TO BE ABLE TO LET THE LAST SURVIVOR GET HATCH. I’m sorry but it’s messed up that survivors have to do that, WHILE A KILLER CAN JUST DOWN THAT SURVIVOR AND MORI THEM. So you guys genuinely expect someone to be able to hide with new crows and wait out someone to miss skill checks AND WAIT FOR THE DEATH ANIMATION THEN BE ABLE TO FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE.


As a player on both ends, I feel like this messed up survivors solo or with friends. It feels as if these devs don’t play their game and don’t know what happens to an average player. I’m not saying get rid of these, I’m saying tweak them and balance it out especially before the anniversary event. Unfortunately killers are usually even worse for events for some reason. Hopefully you guys do something cause I feel like this will be extremely punishing for new players as most are still figuring out what to genuinely do.

    II agree With the crows and the hooks. Its is not working. I went to save a hooked survivor and the killer was heading my way. I ducked into a locker and within a few seconds had a crow circling me. What are survivors to especially when you have a killer that camps the hook? You can't hide close to the hooked survivor waiting for the best moment to free them because a crow starts to circle. Just put the game back the way it was. Players understand sometimes you load in with a great team sometimes you don't. That's just the way the game is. Stop trying to control everything.

    Just put it back the way it was lol give survivors the 4 percent chance and leave the crows how they were. We are all running around out here like crow whisperers. Camping and tunneling are legit killer strategies just like stealth and hiding are survivor strats. Though getting crows while on a Gen or in chase is hilarious...it's getting old quick.

    The go-next prevention just needs to be scrapped entirely. I can't see any conceivable way for it to work properly without flagging innocent players who weren't actually trying to throw.
