Constructive feedback for anti-tunnel

The majority of these notes seem fine enough, at least worth trying but I have a few sticking points about the anti-tunnel

  1. Not being shown the survivors hook state as the killer. I assume this means you don't see the hook icon over the survivors portrait. My concern with this is if I hook someone and walk away but can't find anyone, the unhook notification tells me where at least one, maybe more, person is (that isn't the person who was just unhooked). ideally it would be better to find someone else before that so you have 3 survivors not doing gens (assuming someone is going for the rescue), but if I can't find anyone, then going back to pressure the un-hooker is something at least. I do understand why this is being tested, maybe some sort of middle ground could be achieved? Also, if I walk away and someone immediately unhooks 5 seconds later, the un-hooker deserves to get chased.
  2. The Gen speed increase when someone dies before 6 hook stages. I'm not totally against this but it needs some nuance. Getting a kill before 6 hook stages at 4 or 5 gens, I feel deserves the boost to repair speeds for survivors. 1 kill before 6 hook stages with 1 or 2 gens left (that could have a high amount of repair progress already) is probably more of an indication that the killer is having trouble then the survivors. In that scenario, it's possible that the remaining survivors are just of a notably higher skill level then the killer and the dead survivor.
  3. If the last survivor that was hooked is killed, gens can't be blocked or regressed. My issue with this is mostly similiar to my last point. If this happens at 5 or 4 gens, I'm ok with testing this feature out. But if it happens at 1 or 2 gens left, that seems a bit harsh, especially if those last one or two gens have a lot of progress on them.

I hope someone at bhvr sees this!

    Are these things that were actually published?

    I was coming here to give the same feedback. I think a lot of the changes are exciting and interesting. But I don't think the repair speed bonus should be given based on hook states, but rather number of generators done. I think 2 generators left is where it's safe to allow the killer to tunnel someone without buffing the remaining survivors or punishing the killer.

    I also think that slugged recovery speed should pause while the survivor is moving, so they don't just get free Tenacity.

    Also I really wish that killers could keep the reward for hooking different survivors even in endgame. Just because all 5 gens are done doesn't mean I wanna just camp.
