Something HAS to be done with this

Okay, so this is most likely gonna either get deleted, or I will get crap for this, but I said I was gonna post about this in my stream...

This is getting out of hand Devs... I was streaming and THIS match alone went on for an hour with ONE gen left and the killer kept going between the gens to hit them with overcharge. Now, I will say sure, the survivors could have disconnected, but we didn't because honestly, we wanted to show this in my stream so I can show you, dev's, that SOMETHING needs to be done with killer holding the game hostage just to be a jerk. I mean everything is MAXED and they won't even kill my friends either. He will down them to go kick the gens again. I mean, it's even like hatch stand offs, I have seen people on twitch stand by that for 2+ hours.

When stuff like this isn't truly dealt with, eventually your game is going to die off... I have played since release and stuff like this is just getting worse and nothing is done about it. If you're going to allow stuff such as this, then there should be a limit to how long one match can be played... maybe add some type of timer for the match, so if it lats longer than 35 minutes, then when the timer runs out, the match disconnects everyone WITH their points. Normally if I'm stuck in a match, I either let them kill me or I will DC... but I wanted this highlight to be seen because yes, this gets beyond annoying.

    Translation : “We messed up and left the last 3 gens close together, and refuse to accept that we cant finish them without the killer killing at least one of us, so we demand action.”

    Just die, or win, and move on. We dont need your salt video.

    Also, claiming that the game will die if your butthurt demands arent met is hilarious.

    I have seen it happen; if developers allow certain things in a game and don't take action with the players who actually cause the game to become less fun ect, then it isn't played as much and then eventually will have under 5k players or die completely. And you know what, Killers throw out demands too, so its not just survivors. There's salt messages all the time from both sides on the Steam forums for DBD...

    you would see that we did end up getting that last gen. Yes, I will admit that we screwed up... BUT that doesn't mean that player had to act that way with the last gen. No reason for it at all. It's not like any of us get anything else after everything is maxed. And, they DID try to get downed at one point, as you would see with the random... but the killer REFUSED to hook them.

    here is something I don't understand about the video , at 21:47 marker you are reporting this after he hooks and kills you , before the whole not killing anyone even happens . This seems staged to me because how would you know what is going to happen before it actually happens ? I also notice this is a swf game as well , ant the top score was a rank 18 , looks like a farming group , plus at the end they did complete the gens and escape .

    I have reported people before after dealing with bull crap stuff after dying. NOTHING was staged. Like come on, You can look at my friend's list on steam and you will see that the killer is not on my friends list and neither is the random. I even tried ADDING the killer to tell them to knock it off and they refused to accept the friend request. I knew that 2 of my friends was going to be either killed or survive, but I didn't know what exactly going to happen. I mean, for you to say it was a farming group just sounds dumb because obviously it wasn't. My 2 friends tried to get the gen done, but took way too long to do so.

    as far as the rank 18, my friend started off at rank 20 when they joined me... so ranking has nothing to do with this and if you don't believe me, go to my VOD on twitch and find that point where he joins me as a rank 20...

    I recommend running Deja Vu if you find that you're 3 genning yourself a lot.

    I watched a bit of the vod and overall here's a tl;dr on your complaint since I believe mods tend to answer this occasionally.

    If the killer isn't actively trying to kill you even if you were to walk up to them that could be considered holding the game hostage. If the killer is at least chasing you and primarily focusing on protecting gens that is more so playing the game. Watching a fair bit of the vod I can't confidently say the killer did this to intentionally hold the game hostage at least not at the start all of you were just thirsty for that win and the game went on longer than it should have.

    Take that with a grain of salt because that's just a quick summary of what I've seen mods say and I probably butchered it somewhere. If a mod sees your thread they can correct me.

    Personally I would have just let the killer sacrifice me so I can peace out of that game I'm not a fan of 15+ minute games.

    It's really common knowledge when playing vs a Dr you need to careful which gens you do. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

    Gen distribution should be tweaked though here is a video of a game I recently had with every 3gen Drs wet dream. (I still went on a long chase not to be a twat even though the survivors messed up)

    We weren't farming, I just think the gens too close but it was very long game and I have always said that you have to explore where the gens are and if there are ones too close that can be a challenge. It be fair if they weren't too close. I think thats what she trying to say. I'm aware its killer's job to patrol the gens. Why should we dc thats like saying I quit. Well I'm no quitter I stuck it out So to tell someone just dc, thats just ridiculous.

    nope, not deleting it. don't care. There are many other twitch streamers who have the exact or similar VODS and so I guess I will just be like them and have it out there for everyone to see. Big whoop.

    You where playing with your swf buddy, if you ended up letting him 3 gen close by together at the end it's your own damn fault.
    You literaly can coordinate with your pal wich gen to do so that you have gen as far apart from each other as possible

    Kudos for not deleting it. Not many people would do the same thing. At the same time, it was quite clear you didn't just come here to complain. You expected people to rally behind you, and I don't see what lying about it is supposed to accomplish.

    And then they held the game hostage by not committing to the gens and always running away to heal (because heal sources are infinite).

    I'm sorry, what did the killer do wrong other than defend the objective?

    It's on the survivors to prevent the 3 gen nest from happening.

    Nothing to see here folks.

    just wanted to clarify that no I didn't make this post to do any type of witch hunt. Just wanted to say what I said in my original post, which I did so I'm done. If people don't like what I said and want to say I'm doing this and that, then oh well. Now, my last reply because I did want to say that no witch hunt or anything alike is intended.Have a good day/night, where ever you all live. May the entity be kind.

    Honestly, i wouldnt stay in a match for an hour.
    If that happened to me most probably would have enough bps to pip already, meaning that i would just let the killer kill me. How? Just by doing a gen and let the killer grab me, pointing the hook, bleeding out, etc...
    If i was the killer i would down and kill the last survivors, yes, but what u said doesn't happen often anyway and most certainly wouldnt come to the forums to complain about it.

    Exactly. That´s why i said, that they held the game as much hostage as the killer. Someone who tries to lure the killer to a loop spot, so the others can do peacefully gens, Can´t blame the killer if he doesn´t fall for this obvious trap.

  • FrenziedRoach
    FrenziedRoach Member Posts: 2,600

    I'm going to give you some advice.....

    Did you happen to notice that you are given clues from afar as to where generators are at any given time which can give you an overview which are done and which are not? It's true!

    On most maps, it's just the light pole. Generators that are not done or are in progress will have flickering lights at the top of the pole. Finished generators the lights are on.

    On Haddingfield and Bedam Elementry, every building that has a generator in it will have flickering lights you can spot from the street. The lights will be completely on if the generator is done.

    Haven't figured out the cues for Lery's yet, but The Game has closed doors near every generator that's not complete yet.

    Using these clues can tell you at a glance what generators are done. And with a little planning ahead, you can prevent this situation without even getting certain perks like Detective's Hunch or Deja Vu involved.

    You can also prevent this with a little common sense. Say you complete a generator, so you head to the one next to it, right? WRONG! You skip that generator and head to the one beyond it. You've now isolated an unfinished generator between FINISHED generators - making it less likely you'll have unfinished generators next to each other at the end of the game when the killer has less area to defend.

    A little prevention on the part of the survivors can go a long way.

    In the end - stopping this is completely in the hands of the survivors. Your team created this situation you are complaining about, you have no right to #########.

    All I saw was another obnoxious SWF group with a cringy commentary.  You are not entitled to a win.  You blame the Doctor for taking the game hostage while you and your group could not hit the Overcharge skillchecks and left the remaining generators in one area.

    Get over yourself.  This is a video game.  One loss is not going to kill you.

    You screwed up on the gens. Be more careful about which ones you do next time instead of demand the devs to change anything.

    I understand your pain Gen placements can be kind of Odd and sometimes place too many Gens in one area.
    This isn't the killers fault to begin with it is the Dev fault for not putting in a secondary Objective other than Gens.

    However this is your teams fault you could of just kept rotating to gens tapping them and moving 
    hit the greatskill check and keep moving .

    or go look for the hidden gen on the other side of the map.

    more than 5 Gens spawn in so its not like those were the last 3

    If you don't like playing hour long matches, you can always just run up to the Killer and die.
    You'll keep your BP that way too.
    Both parties clearly had the desire to win for VERY long, so let them play as much as they want.

    One will eventually get sick of it and break up the repetition.

    You shot yourself in the foot and want to blame someone else for it. Fantastic!

    Learn from your mistakes and work on not doing this again. I frequently skip generators and try try to memorize their locations. Some smart killers will purposely herd/let you do the farthest separated gens so they can defend the cluster. Is it cheating, holding the game hostage or toxic? Hell ######### no! It's smart as #########, actual strategic killers are rare and dangerous.

    Don't fall into the spiders web and you should avoid this from now on. Unfortunately randoms can still accidentally cause this to happen.

    Why didn't any of then search chests for.flashlights or tool box's then all thee work on a single gen doc has to grab one or waste time hitting 6times during which if any had unbreakable they get up keep working and finish the gen then leave its not that hard to counter a situation like that you have to take the hits and ignore the killer you either die or escape not run and hide every 2 second's or have one work as a gen decoy and have the other two on the most hidden gen or hardest to get two

    as stated from everyone else, you guys created this situation yourselves. leaving 3 generators side by side is always a bad idea.

    but even with that if you guys were coordinated and can hit a skillcheck, you could have made it out sooner. i don't think you hit a single overcharge skill check which might have helped. at least communicate with each other so you can vacate the gen without hitting madness 3, you know the killer had no intention of chasing you so use it to your advantage. little by little the gens would have gotten done (if you hit the skill checks)

    also see it from the killers point of view, there is 1 gen left and all 4 survivors are still alive swarming the last 3 gens. he was probably under a lot of stress and pressure as it was clear he wanted to win but his back was against the wall and had no choice but to play defensive.

    lastly your attitude at the end was very hypocritical and toxic, the killer was trying to win the best he can and when it was clear that he could not he gave up, that's when the teabagging and the refusal to leave started. back when he was "holding the game hostage" it wasn't clear who the winner was but when you guys started your antics it was.

    I hope you can show a bit more empathy next time....at the very least hit the skillchecks.

    I think it's not about being a twitch streamer, but about the false hostage claims. 
    Those are serious accusations, and no one should make or take them lightly.
