Walked around gens for a hour and 10 minutes.

True. All they had to do was split up, and each one work on a gen. Hide when they hear the heartbeat / terror radius, and once you kick the gen, and leave, go back and work on it some more. Repeat the process until one pops. It takes a little longer, but not that long..

"You can find them and kill them" no you can't. That's exactly the point. If survivors are really trying to hide without progressing the game you will likely never find them.

I think games should have a 40min cap and survivors die. If survivors won after time limit it would only encourage more hiding like this. Killer really wouldn't get anything for reaching the time limit because it just means they don't get the BP for hooking hitting and sacrificing leasing to more black pips or depips.

There is literally no advantage to the killer winning after a certain time, all it would do is prevent survivors from hiding all game to troll the killer.

It's cute you thought they were banned. DBD report system is god awful, nobody gets banned.

It's too bad though, survivors like that literally don't deserve to be able to play the game. They deserve complete IP bans. I'd rather go against literal hackers than someone hiding all game with no intention to finish the game. At least it'd be more fun to chase someone.

Just leaving my opinion here. No one is taking the game hostage. If the job of survs is to do gens and they didnt, same goes for the killer who doesnt go looking for the survs and decides to chill close to the last 3 gens. Both are dragging out that game for so long. I think you can expect games like this once in a while.

So its ok that you want survivors to come straight up to you to do gens but its not ok for you to have to go searching for them?

I mean you are literally forcing them to walk up to you, and they are forcing you to come searching for them. So where is that unfair? Both sides are stalling the game dude.

Yes you are right. They are stalling the game. I never said anything different. Still, it is not a hostage situation.

You say it's a dirtbag move and name other things that are complete bullshit in this game and say you love the game.

Why?

It sounds like alot of poor game design to me with very little being done to rectify this fact.

DBD can be fun, but face camping is not fun, hour long standoffs are not fun, tunneling is not fun, gen rush is not fun but it's part of the game people say. You sit in a long que only to play the game for 5 minutes before being face camped, gen rushed, or tunnled or stuck in an hour long or more game of chicken. So on top of not being fun these very same things waste your damn time. A good game respects the players time.

Whenever this ######### happens after 4 ######### years it's like the devs are giving you the finger through your monitor.

"Here is a mechanic that is not fun and wastes your time. We will not fix it this is just part of the game. Here is our newest DLC now pay us and ######### you."

Dont get me wrong, I'm sure the devs are wonderful people, and I want to love this game. But these things prevent me from doing do. I take a break then come back and remember why i left. I could be playing something much more enjoyable.

Thank you for posting me Idk what. lol

It is not holding the game hostage. and I will quote @Peanits from may 2019 : "... . We only consider it to be holding the game hostage when there is no possible way for the game to end."

And that is clearly not the case.

Also thank you for showing me your bias by pointing Fingers at me for being neutral and stay with facts.

Have a nice day, too :)

It's not a play style. It's abusing poor game design. Poor game design that has not been fixed for over 4 years. It is not fun, it does not respect your time. The game has moments of brilliant fun but those moments are not worth it when the majority of your time is sifting through the #########.

If you dont play many games and still love this game you either need to play other games to gain some perspective on what a good game is like or you are a true masochist who enjoys the agony.

DBD is not a challenge, it's a test in patience. How much of your time are you willing to throw away?

SWF explains alot. Play by yourself or with just one other person and get ready to have an insufferable time. You have a fun time with the game and that's great. But that does not mean issues with the game should not be addressed. And there are many issues. Playing solo, waiting in que for 5 minutes, then getting face camped on hook is a miserable experience.

I was thinking a time limit on how long gens can go without being touched. Like a 10 minute timer and if gens are not touched its instant sacrifice. Then a 25% increase for gen repairs if the killer camps, that or no BP for the sacrifice.

That would be interesting, but I feel like this would quickly end up with the same issue. If survivors could just touch a gen for 1 second to then gain another 10 mins of hiding... I feel like people wouldn't be satisfied with that... I do like the counter if killers are camping, but I think the community wouldn't agree with what is defined as camping... Dunno!

How many calories did you burn?

In all seriousness, if the situation turns to that, you need to end the game. Them being stubborn doesn't mean your stubbornness isn't equally at fault. This is a known troublesome part of playing against Freddy, and survivors honestly can't do jack all against it(believe me a friend and I tried for 15 minutes before finally just sacrificing ourselves).

See the thing is that in a 3 gen situation most killers don't commit to a chase, no they believe a 4k is deserved right then and there. That survivors are just delaying the inevitable. The reality is that you need to still put in the effort of chasing one and finding the other. The game isn't over, but you're being stubborn by refusing to commit to a chase, or even baiting them to a generator.

Remember, the game isn't over until the post game stats, don't assume you deserve a kill just because the game is in your favor.

And yes this goes for survivors too, but you control the end game in this scenario so you have the obligation to either end it or enjoy being able to do nothing for an hour and ten minutes.

I'm probably gonna regret writing this as I play killer mostly, but then again most people have probably stopped paying attention to comments after page 3, so:

The strategy to beat a 3 gen situation:

1. With 2 or more survivors, simply split up and work on gens separately. Albeit this is more difficult with only 2 survivors, but still possible as long as you are confident in your ability to lead the killer a decent distance away from the generators, and focus on the 2 gens that are furthest away from each other.
2. When the killer comes for you, run with intent to lead the killer as far away from the gens as possible. Dont hang around a loop them, and always try to get an early start.
3. If you are downed during your chase, the killer has to waste time hooking you or leave you on the ground to recover, either way the killer loses precious time while your teammate(s) make progress on their gen(s).
4. The killer can't cover all gens at once, not even Doc, so If they chase you, realize you are leading them too far from the gens, and break chase to go back to them, all you have to do is cautiously follow them back to the gen you were working on. In all likelyhood, they'll either spot you and start pursuit again, or they'll go after your teammate(s) giving you time to continue making progress on your gen.
5. if injured or downed during your chase away from the gen but not hooked, Recover/Heal with a medkit/perk, or meet up with your teammate(s) after they get chased away from the gens and heal before returning to yours to continue repairs.
6. Never lead the killer to your teammates.
7. Instant down, and high mobility killers are a bit trickier to deal with than the standard killers, but the same principle applies... If they are chasing your teammate, pound away at the gen; if they are chasing you, do your best to lead them as far from the gens as possible.
8. Unless there are 4 survivors, never double up on a gen, no matter how close it is to being finished. A good killer will quickly injure both survivors, pursue and down one, then return to down the other. With everyone working on gens separately, the killer can only pursue and try to down 1 survivor at a time, giving the other survivor(s) progress.
9. The stealth approach will drive a killer nuts. If you are good at keeping out of the killers line of sight, they will spend a long time searching around a gen trying to find you before they either do so and you lead them on a chase away from the gens, or they don't find you and give up their search to go stop your teammate(s) from completing their gen(s). Time is always against the killer, and this strategy really puts the pressure on them to try and down survivors as quickly as possible, which very few killers can pull off.
10. if there are 4 survivors left, the 4th's job is to either distract the killer, or keep rotating to the gen being worked on by a teammate that is furthest from the killers current position.
11. If a survivor is put on their 2nd hook, and you know you can finish the gen AND have time to rescue them, finish the gen.
12. This strategy works best with 3 or more survivors, but 2 survivors can still pull it off. However, If there's only 2 survivors, and one dies, it's the other's obligation to seek out the hatch asap. Before splitting up to work on the gens in the first place, prior knowledge of the hatches location is very important.
13. Sacrifices are mostly inevitable, so you may find yourself taking one for the team. The sooner you accept that, the better this strategy works. I'm not saying you shouldn't be cautious, I'm just saying that once you realize that you've put yourself in a 3 gen situation, at least 1 survivor may need to die in order for the others to escape. Accepting that is important in order to take on this bold but effective strategy.

As a killer, Every time I've gone up against a team that uses this (surprisingly rare) strategy, someone always escapes. If its against 3 or more, the majority escape most of the time, if its against only 2, then 1 of them escapes. Either way, its a simple strategy that solo's should take advantage of, and SWF's should flaunt. The only way I have ever come close to beating this counter strategy is to start slugging, but even that is rarely successful. It actually baffles me how often I end up in a 3 gen situation, and the survivors (even with a full team) will either try to all focus down 1 gen or won't even approach the gens, much less employ this strategy, and because of that I end up winning most 3 gen situations, which is a shame because it's not a difficult strategy to use, and it flat out works.

OP, your situation sucks, and you should definitely report them for holding the game hostage because as long as there were at least 2 of them, they could've pulled off this strategy in an attempt to win, and it would've been even more effective for them since they were SWF and on voice comms with each other. They literally had no excuse to avoid doing their objectives, and must have made the toxic call to hold the game hostage in an attempt to get you to DC. Our community could do with less people like them.
