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.

A simple solution to SURVIVORS holding the game hostage

If they open a gate and wait in the exit for more than 30 seconds they should immediately be paralyzed by the Entity and a giant glowing red aura will appear upon them allowing the Killer to mori them.

    Sometimes they wait inside to the gate to ensure everyone gets out, killer downs someone so they run out and try and get them.

    Better solution is if the gates are opened for x time then provided they're at least x distance away from each other they automatically close after x time. You could also give the survivor inside the gate a timer warning, once inside the gate you have a timer to leave completely before the entity blocks you either temporarily or permanently.

    If either of the 2nd options happens then the killer gets to see the persons aura and they get an exposed debuff. This would ensure everyone leaves when they're supposed to while also giving survivors the chance to possibly go try and rescue someone. At least if they'd just gone into the gates and were waiting for last person(s).

    The thing that does need to be changed is no matter who opens the gates everyone should get the reward for it. since oftentimes it's a race to get there and ppl will camp while waiting for someone to do the gen solo. This also makes ppl not want to leave and go open the other gate for the points.

    IKf you make it so that once 1 gate is opened everyone gets the same points rewards and there's no bonus for opening the other gate you fix some of the waiting game issue. If you also make opening chests and cleansing any remaining totems not possible ie entity blocked you'd also force ppl out.

    Just chase them out. Most of the time they do it to just waste your time so other can escape.

    Waiting at the exit gates isn't holding the game hostage.
    THere is also several situations where you want to make sure your mates are ok before leaving, which is fine, since a lot of overaltruism, especially lategame, can get people killed.

    About the true hostaging, aka crouching in a corner and not doing anything, just make the idle crow to be harsher and to pop faster/make slow movements not to prevent the crows to pop.

    This and in most cases I don't deal with teabaggers, but then I also never camp either but I don't know if there's any correlation there or not. when they try and waste my time chasing them out i'll check around the gate and quite often i'll get someone either hit or downed. I sac'd 2 ppl that way last night that were trying that routine, one I downed since they were injured and the other one ran into a trap i'd left in a dark area between trees.
