how do people find this ######### fun?
I just had a 25 minute match.
How on earth did it go for 25 minutes? I'll tell ya, immersive asswipes.
All dark prestige outfits, two of them Claudettes, Urban Evasion, Sprint Burst, Diversion and DS up the #########' wazoo, can't forget the Yamaoka offering and 3 Purple Reagents.
at the very least least 20 or so minutes of the 25 I spent in there, was just me walking around searching, they did a single gen and just kinda hid for the rest of the game.
Why do people do this? Do they find it fun? What's cool or funny about doing nothing and wasting 25 minutes of your own time and another person who just wants to play the game and have fun?

They do it for a reaction or simply enjoy such acts for themselves. If they are forum readers and see this post it will be a dream come true for them.
I feel you though. Normal TR Killer without detection perks I assume?

Pyramid, Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer and Discordance, not much use when they don't do gens

And then there are people who want to remove Looping from the game. The outcome would be what you described. I honestly take every Loop over a highly immersed team.
I had one game where the Survivors were so stealthy, I only found one Bill the entire game. After hooking him twice and finding him for a third time, I simply let him go, because I honestly felt bad for him being the only one who actually wanted to play the game. Nothing wrong with Stealth, but it is not much fun to play against IMO.
But my game was an exception and so was yours. It happens, but luckily its rare. And to be fair, some people simply like to play stealthy without any bad intent.

That's holding the game hostage and is bannable offence.
If they weren't progressing their objective and basically only hiding then you should have definitely reported them for holding the game hostage.

They don't like killers, it's his people who cry for the killers' nerves!
Yesterday I searched for the second last survivor while the other one was down, not found. I released Dave and I concentrated on Bill... there were 2 generators left and Dave took advantage of me looking for Bill to make the generators... I tried to find a way to get them both and I succeeded, I put Dave on the hook with no trace of Bill I said to myself he's going to come and unhook it + I'm going to try to find the trap door, and as I walked forward randomly I heard Bill in the grass (thank you Spirit) !
The game lasted a long time because of a guy that Dave wanted to protect him...
There should be a time limit, like when the exit doors...

Yeah i get you man stealthy players are annoying for everyone when they don’t actually do anything if more stealthy players actually did stuff maybe people wouldn’t have a problem with stealth builds

Erm, it was you who wanted to go for the 4K. Why should there be a Time Limit if you decide to slug for the 4K but are unable to find the remaining Survivor?

People are stupid. A match taking 25 minutes with people hiding is not fun at all, I agree. They don't even get points for hiding, so I don't understand the point of hiding and just letting the match go on and on.

Oh no! 1 game of yours got ruined by survivors. Yet the 500 games where I've been completely facecamped is perfectly fine.... This game is designed to let your opposition ruin your fun and it's all part of the game, just gotta deal with it 🤣

I actually really enjoy stealth, and hope they never remove the ability to use it. Not everyone is a pro looper, some people like being sneaky. It’s thrilling to hide and have the Killer walk past you a couple of times and never find you.
But yes, I agree that it sucks if they don’t try to do the objective. I guess that’s why you could report them for holding the game hostage.
Also, being immersive play is a must against Killers who tunnel or mori from the start of the game.

I go sneaky because I can't run forever, but I can hide pretty well.
Detection perks and abilities are also the bane of a stealthy player's existence.
As for a 25 minute game, you wanna swap? I'll give you my 5min slaughters with DC's and people literally throwing themselves at my Piggy.

There should be a system where it shows Survivors Auras intermittently if they don't do Objectives for a certain amount of time. If they still don't do anything and try to outrun the phasing Aura Reading, the Aura Reading should start to be permanent. It shouldn't go away instantly after touching a gen because People could abuse that. It should work like the crows where they have to stay on Objectives for a certain amount of time for it to go away.

Being stealthy and being a coward are too very different things. A good stealth player will stay on gens while the killer is near, hit totems, and go for those safe saves.
Rushing off to hide in your bush when spine chill lights up... isn't being stealthy. It's being detrimental to your team. Sneaking around looking for the hatch while your team is carrying you... isn't being stealthy.
I am a survivor main, and there needs to be an objective timer... if a totem or generator isn't being worked on for 2 min, hatch won't spawn. If nothing is progressing after a 5 min timer, the game auto disconnects.

I had a similar case recently (only 15 min though) and reported it with video proof, but I was told that there wasn't enough information to verify my report.
So while I would agree with you that this is holding the game hostage and should be bannable, I'm not sure if the Devs share that opinion.

I had a pretty boring game, where survivors weren't repairing at all in dead dawg saloon, and just hiding in bushes.
I was literally playing hide n seek, not dbd. Fortunately for them, I followed them in that game and I tried to find them, but It was boring.
If It happens to you again, just go afk and they'll end the game.

So your ways to play are the only ways we should play? I've litterally had matches where I was a survivor and two of the team disconnected, it was me and one other (yes both of us were claudettes) I finished the last 3 generators on my own, the other one opened the door (and was working on gens, but occasionally got caught at a gen but was able to evade. it took 15 minutes because we were playing cat and mouse with the killer. is it fun? it's definitely challenging, but I don't have to engage you to give you chase points. it's YOUR job as killer to FIND ME! now I did get found early in the game a couple times but I also was able to evade and heal up each time. I worked gen, continuously moving around to different gens and it took ages to complete. the other claud was able to open the door and get out. I then ran AROUND the map and came to the open door and got out, the killer was off at the other door looking for me (and closed the hatch mind you that I missed). The killer was amazed that I got out and when I told them what I did they even said they were AMAZED at how it ended.
You may think as a survivor or a killer that survivors are SUPPOSED to be chased, that is not true. the object of the survivors is to power the gates by the gens and escape. You as the killer are to prevent the survivors from escaping by chasing them off of gens and controlling the match environment (ruin, pop, strydor and other perks are available for you to use for this). beyond that, there are no real rules of engagement. If you tell me I have to run the killer for X minutes I'm going to tell you to stick it where the sun don't shine SIDEWAYS with a jagged metal casing around it. I also don't expect that the killers will not do X,Y, or Z because that's what is expected how ever I expect the killer to ACKNOWLEDGE their tactics just as I acknowledge mine if called out (stealth, totem killer etc).
Tunneling, Camping and even slugging are part of the damn game. I don't give a damn it happens just that it is acknowledged that those tactics are used when called out. example another match I was in a SWF (yes the dreaded SWF issue) and I brought a KEY, yes we were planning to get the "hoodini" achievement. this is because some of us didn't have it yet. So all 4 of us got in there and i got found (back before keys were so noticeable), the killer found me, hooked me and when I got off the hook he was hooking someone else, and then coming after me (ok that's not hard core tunneling but it is close enough) then after i get off the hook the third time he was right there waiting for me to be unhooked and BLAMO I was tunneled into oblivion got less than 6 K for that because I didn't have a chance to do crap. got out of the match I called him out without being mean or toxic or anything just said "dude, that tunneling!" their response? I didn't tunnel you. it was comical. another time someone actually said "yea, you got a key" I said ok fair enough, atleast you admit what you did. didn't call it wrong didn't berate the killer just want it acknowledged.
but get over yourselves if you expect ME to GIVE you chases. I don't always go in for blood points, or pips or what ever. but you know what? it's to stick it to people that believe that I have to play their way and not my way as long as my way is within the rules of the game.

BTW... SO STEALING THIS! THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGH!

Playing a stealthy game is perfectly fine - it's a valid strategy. However, hiding and not doing anything to progress the game is taking the game hostage and should be reported.
I've played a lot of games where me and my team have done the objectives, but got caught towards the end and the one random, who we barely saw all game turned out to be hiding in a locked, made no attempt to help rescue anyone and made their escape.

No, there are those Survivors who hide instead of doing gens, and that's basically called "taking the game hostage". If you manage to hide from a Killer and then do gens and then successfully hide again, ok. But we talk about People who ONLY hide and never touch a gen after a certain amount of People are dead. And that's not how you're supposed to play the game.
There is literally not one single match where the Killer found nobody while Survivors did all 5 Gens. The Survivors are supposed to outrun the Killer by being chased to buy the other Survivors time to do gens, that's why Matches with Survivors who go down fast always end with a 4 man 4-5 Gen (with an occasional Hatch Escape which in my opinion is not an escape because the Survivors didn't manage to do their only Objective), because they don't know how to distract a Killer.
I have nothing against hiding, but Survivors who only hide and never do gens deserve to be found via an Aura because as Killer, searching for 10 minutes is not fun, and then when you find them, they dc.

I do indeed, how exactly would I go about making a report card?

Ultimately the survivors who play like this also enjoy "Prop Hunt" on garry's mod or other games where just pretending to be an inanimate object without getting shot is the point of it. Watching the killer go walking by while holding their breath etc etc.
Not progressing ANY objectives for that long could be considered a reportable offense of holding the game hostage by the dev's own definition of it if you recorded it and made sure to do an ingame report as well. Otherwise they're probably getting a kick out of frustrating you if they are forum lurkers - giving each other high fives and all that.

I don't know how a survivor could ever find stealth fun, why would you stealth in a game built around chase?
1 -
A 25 minute game where the survivors aren't doing anything is not equal to you losing quickly. To my knowledge, the only equivalent way a killer can hold a game hostage is if you get trapped in a corner and they body block you and refuse to hit you. And even then if a single other survivor is alive your team can still win, but regardless of whether your team wins or not, the killer would still be violating the rules by doing that.
Just like stealthing around for 25 minutes can get you banned. Do the objectives or leave the game. Don't intentionally waste everyone's time. Losing quickly just means you get into the next game quicker. Stealthing around means you're hoping the killer DCs so you can "win" by something besides doing your objective.
Facecamping, moris, tunneling, all of that is annoying, but none of it wastes a huge amount of your time or breaks any rules.

Wow really? you know exactly what they are doing? where they are at all times and what they are doing at all times... in cases like this you would have to have video of the person not playing properly and be able to show it to the devs. talk about petty?
WOW you really don't like people playing their own way. No one takes the game hostage anymore, door opens you can't go hide there's a timer. killer finds 3 people closes hatch there's a timer. player doesn't move long enough there are crows. just because it's not your way of playing you want the killer to find them using an aura they are not granted by their OWN perks. that's not a good thing. Most times when people go and hide they don't move enough to keep crows from coming around so that will let the killer know where. There is a point that you can call it taking hostage but it would take the concerted efforts of a team to avoid the killer for that long in any map. if you are the killer and can't locate people then well that's not the survivor's fault either. you didn't bring the right perks, now do better.

They saw the cows video and wanted to do it themselves.

Yeah I’m a stealth survivor. I’m usually found after everybody else has been hooked a few times. I’m not doing it to troll. I just play cautiously.

I said I play stealth. Not immersed.
What's the difference? I do the damn objective!
0 -
Yeah, being stealthy is fine, being overly immersed is annoying. As Survivor, as long as a stealthly Player gets the Job done, I am fine with that. I know a small german Streamer who is playing really stealthy and is a very good Survivor. But there are also people who make a bush their home.

God I absolutely hate really long games

If in any case those people weren't doing anything to progress the game (e.g. you weren't in the endgame yet), then I would advice you to report them in the game and send additional evidence to support: https://support.deadbydaylight.com
A in-game report is mandatory and any additional evidence needs to be sent to support.
