What is REALLY the objective?
Was just reading a post where people were trying to back up their argument of trashing on killers who use NOED by saying the survivor objective is completing gens and the killer objective is stopping gens from being completed. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought survivor objective was to escape the match alive and killer objective was to kill all survivors before they escape. I mean that's why there's a hatch now. . . to give survivors one last opportunity to escape. I guess the gen objective is the TRUE objective in the unwritten survivor rule book?

One day there will be a written verson.

The hatch has been in the game forever. The main goal of the game is to survive as a survivor or kill/sacrifice everyone as killer. Since the main goal of survivor is to survive, that makes generators, exit gates, and hatch the main objective to achieve your goal. Secondary objectives would be totems, distracting the kiler, and hook rescues.

Escape/Kill.
If you die to noed, I don't give a ######### how many gens you got done. You didn't do totems which was a part of securing your objective, knowing that a perk like noed exists. If you choose to rush through the most basic part of getting out without considering other risk factors, then you have as much fault in your own death as someone who does no gens.

Please the entity by flogging the Survivors left and right AND THEN sacrificing them once 1 or 2 gens are done and you've maxed out on chases.

Gens and hooks are the main in game objectives.
The overall objective for survivors is to do whatever you can to ensure escape.
For killers it's to do whatever you can to sacrifice survivors.
Totems then become an objective to reach the overall on as you don't want any surprises.
Pips can also an objective out with the game but that's down to each person's viewpoint.
The hatch has always been in game. It's design was to end the game quicker and probably also a way to help those matched with random players.
Both sides have made up rules and why if you do or use X I will do Y is a very common viewpoint on here.

Escaping or killing

People do some silly mental gymnastics to justify their weird views. To them, I say: It's in the name. Survivors want to survive; Killers want to kill. This is plainly obvious. Those are the objectives. The game ends when everyone has either survived or been killed in whatever combination it happens in.
The killer definitely wants to stop gens from being completed, but they do this by killing the survivors. But if all the gens DO get completed, the killer achieves the same victory by killing the survivors before they escape.
Same deal with survivors; they definitely want to complete gens, but they do this because that is what enables their escape. The generators are the gatekeeping mechanic for both sides.

As i see it, your primary objective is what will lead you to the scoreboard.
I don't mind people setting their own objectives though.
Anyone looking at my profile picture knows i got my own goal.

the main objectives for survivors consist of 3 things:
1) Generators - the main objective of the trial and mandatory to escaping. this objective consumes the most time of them all and the entire game is build around it.
2) Exit Gate Switches - the second main objective and, again, mandatory to escaping. however, this consumes very little time and therefore you cant really play around it too much.
3) Totems - the secondary objective, not mandatory to escaping, though strictly tied to a killer perk that, if the objective has not been completed, can make escape rather hard for you. Totems can also take an direct effect into the game, if the killer Hexes them.
all of these 3 objectives work towards the final goal of escaping the trial.
killers on the other hand, only really have one objective:
hooks. the killer only wants to hook survivors.
defending generators is a secondary objective, though not mandatory to killing them. the only thing that will kill them are sacrifices on hooks.
with these hooks the killer works towards the final goal of sacrificing the survivors one by one.
so yeah, you are basically right with your statement.

I mean....in order to escape you have to complete generators lol

survivors objectives: do gens, stay alive
killers objectives: gen defence, sacrifice the survivors
that's literally it

For survivors, the goal is to escape. That means repairing gens to power the exit gates, cleansing totems to deny NOED, keeping your fellow survivors alive to help repair gens to power the gates, opening the exit gates, running out through an exit gate, and when all else fails escaping via the hatch.
For killers, the goal is to kill. Part of that is preventing gen repair so survivors can't escape, because as long as they can't escape then they're stuck on the map with you, giving you a chance to kill them. However, even if they repair all the gens, they aren't out of your reach until they actually escape out that gate. Any survivor on the map is still in play; Blood Warden has punished many survivors who think otherwise.

Really nobody said it?
Ok then I'm gonna be the first.
The main objective of this game is to have fun.

I only hate noed because im always the only one doing totems. I mainly do them if i see them. Typically i do three or four each match.
I wish survivors did totems more often

Holy #########, man. Too many people responded to this before ANYONE even thought to say this. Good on ya, bubba portrait guy

Repair generators in 4 minutes then leave.

Main objective is to bully the Killer! The international calling/sign is to repeatedly click your flashlight 🙂

To have fun and enjoy the game?

EDIT: The comment I wrote was to answer another topic so I deleted it.
BTW, If NOED exists is their fault.

You're telling me!? You play games!? To have fun!!!!????? Impossible.

Well it totally depends who you ask.
In core it's to kill or survive.
Other's like to pip, so they can rank up.
Overall BP are important.
The sportsman would say, as long as you have fun.
Ultimately you have to decide for yourself.

As a survivor main, I apologize for my idiotic kin-folk. I very rarely play killer, but when I do, I'm usually rocking NOED. Unless you stand there staring at the person on the hook (or with hillbilly/nurse stand and watch from a short distance) then you can't really do much wrong as killer. We try to live, you try to stop us, how you do that is entirely up to you. Perks are there for a reason, if it was unfair they'd have nerfed it by now (probably).

That's like saying that your objective is to crouch walk the whole match because spies from the shadows exists, or never working on regressing generators is your objective because surveillance exists. No reason to play around a perk you aren't counting on seeing. Just because it is the candiru of dead by daylight doesn't mean you are guaranteed a fish up the peehole.

Also to answer OP's question, I feel like getting bloodpoints is the main objective.

Survivor is surviving. Killer is killing. It's in the name.
One could also argue that emblems are the objective I suppose.

You can't escape without gens being done, so that is the survivor objective. And you cant kill if the survivors leave after doing gens, so you need to prevent gen completion. Hope i made everything clear.

A lot of people put emphasis on surviving, they will literally leave everyone behind to secure their escape. In reality piping is related to how well you do in the scoring factors, altruism/boldness being one of the highest. Keep that in mind, when you wonder why you are what rank, and complain about not surviving trials. Just imo.
just have fun and don’t be toxic whatever side your on. Bc we are all playing the same game. You should play both sides and be fair/kind to each other. I personally don’t run things I hate going against and you shouldn’t either.

But you CAN kill them after gens are done. Just to clarify

The goal is to escape, the objective is anything that helps you achieve that goal.

The "goal" as set by the game is to survive... but I find that boring/frustrating in solo que, so my goal is slightly different... to get head on to work at least once per game. That's for survivor though.
As killer, I just play to my best, if I get people, I kill them... If I don't, I don't. That simple. : P
