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.

The crow readjustment was a little too extreme in the opposite direction

When moving you gain AFK points at 25% of the speed and it takes 180 seconds to get enough for 3 crows while not moving. So now, by just moving, it takes 720 seconds or 12 minutes to get 3 crows. At that amount of time you can just abandon if the survivors are "extreme hiding" You've shifted too far in the opposite direction now.

    This feature didn't need any changes in first place. It happens extremely rarely to me that survivors are hiding when two of them are left and they are sure that it's impossible to finish their objectives. And if they hid I always found them, and as I don't slug for 4k to hold game for another 8mins, I just take the 50/50 of who finds hatch first.

    Nothing wrong with crows now. If your spending ages looking for the last survivor just hook the one on the ground and move the game on.

    Abandon already resolved the "holding games hostage" issue. If you want to continue playing the game, then hunting survivors is literally the killers job. Distortion was deleted for exactly this scenario, so you aren't even trying to find people at this point.

    Crows and go next should just be reverted at this point. They have set a terrible precedent by implementing harsh systems that determine what is considered gameplay, and "punishing for playing incorrectly".

    You can now lay on the ground slugged for 4 minutes straight without recovering, and never get a single crow.

    this is not about having a slugged survivor this is about having 2 survivors hiding, it takes 12 minutes for them to get crows in this circumstance. You can abandon before that happens. Abandon feature needs to have a long time like 10 minutes to prevent abuse but even at a shorter time than it's currently set crows are easily preventable. 3 crows should take something like 6 minutes of doing nothing (much longer than the 3 minutes before the nerf, it used to be 90 seconds and 50% while moving)
