Your chaser emblem idea will backfire, hard.
You encourage hookswarming. This will be abused by badly parented kids who think they will be screwing with the Killer enough for their insufferable le funny moments montages. Once the Killer hangs around the hooked survivor for to long, he will lose incentive to leave. He already lost his emblem so why bother leaving?
He will have to hardcamp and tunnel to make up for it with a safer devout score.
This not only ######### over the Killer because the squad decided to be idiotic but the hooked survivor as well. I recently made a thread about it and i still say that nothing scares me as much as being downed only to see all my team charging in towards me.
How do you reduce camping?
Punish hookswarming, take away any BP score earned by camping and increase the emblem scores and BP reward of fresh hooks.

I agree, but I also think its going to be funny as pig. Most of the time people are away from me, so I don't need to chase them near their friends. But if hooking 1 survivor means getting to catch all 3 as they rush to me to mess up some emblem I care 2 shits about. I'm all for it. Less time I have to spend actually looking for people.

Once ranks actually mean something, i'll start worrying about this change.

They tried the same thing two years ago, but with the survivors' health bar instead of the chaser emblem. Guess what happened? Give survivors an exploit, and they'll never fail to abuse it.

They could fix it simply by adding "Any time spent in a chase near the hook does not count toward Emblem reduction".0

survivors have had a change where they only get 1k points for unhooking. they only get the 500 extra points if it's a safe unhook. If they do an unsafe unhook and the survivor goes down fast again, they do not get any points towards their emblem either. survivors have been more careful unhooking since the change. I have no issues with the change because I don't camp. camping is the most boring thing to do in dbd. but yes, it should not apply if in a chase. and there are plenty of aura reading perks to locate the next survivor to chase.

This change is dumb and will backfire harder than Clintons 2016 election campaign.Bloody hell, that was the hardest laugh I've had all day. Great analogy!

I hope survivors like camping because BHVR just ensured there's a lot more of it coming.Even being new to the game, I immediately realized this.

An idea based on what someone else said, a survivor should also lose points for sticking around the hook and not rescuing the survivor. If a killer and a survivor are both near the hooked survivor, neither will lose points.

This entire thread concept is built around an absurd principle. No one is going to do what you seem to think they will. Period. This change will have virtually 0 impact on the game. Quote me on that.
Edit: PS keep your political commentary out of the DBD forums.

As soon as they realize they can put pressure on the Killer to leave they will use it. Even when you arent swarming (which happens frequently without this extra encouragement) they will know take their loops as close as possible to the hook in spite or hope they leave you alone for the emblems sake.Dreamnomad said:This entire thread concept is built around an absurd principle.

BTW if it will have 0 impact upon this game why leave it in and take unnecessary chances?

"This change is dumb and will backfire harder than Clintons 2016 election campaign."
2000 IQ Meg yanking me off the hook right infront of billy-boi is never a fun experience. If anything, the killer is saving me from an unavoidable sand-bagging by standing there and not letting it fly. It sounds crazy, but I actually like it. I would prefer for killers to not be punished for that behavior.

Which is why I’m annoyed. The amount of times I’ve punished hook rushers and idiots who’ve farmed their team mates... well, that’s going to decrease with this change. I mean seriously, don’t freaking Loop me RIGHT NEXT to the hooked guy! Don’t bum rush the hook thinking everything is going to turn out A—OK. Why the hell am I being punished for another Survivor being a flat out nimrod that’s getting their TEAM MATE killed?! Punish the Survivor who’s doing the stupid ######### and not the Killer...Beverly said:"This change is dumb and will backfire harder than Clintons 2016 election campaign."

Yeah the sort of anti mates that get other survivors killed go scot free and the Killer is being punished for their behavior now instead.Beverly said:"This change is dumb and will backfire harder than Clintons 2016 election campaign."

As if 500Bp less for an unsafe hook is something they care about. Not to mention you can still farm players with BT and get your full BP, Emblem and WGLF token.0 -

Then use another "replacable" analogy. Honestly, I don't care one way or another if this change goes live or not. It'll just be some obscure crap in the patch notes that no one really cares about and will largely be forgotten by the majority of players.
The way I see it, it is the lightest of slaps on the wrists for campers. Unless you are camping heavily, you won't notice it. Hell, even if you are a camper, you probably won't notice it because if you are camping that much then you aren't getting in that many chases in the first place therefore your chase emblem won't be all that hot to begin with. They could truthfully just put this in the patch notes and not change a single thing and it would still have the effect that it will, which is trying to gently nudge killers away from camping.

Yeah lets give survivors encouragement to swarm or loop around the hooks trying to get his emblem down even if he didnt plan to camp in the first place.Dreamnomad said:@ChesterTheMolester said:

THAT WILL SHOW THOSE CAMPERS.3 -
Would make MORE sense if it drained Chaser points for staying near the hook while not in a chase.
Doesn't punish defending the hook against the swarm, but punishes legitimately mindless camping of the sort that gives survivors 3-4 free gens if they react quick enough.0
