Anyone else notice that ever since the event started players have been even more toxic. Every game i have had so far has had players bodyblocking while I'm chasing a survivor and while I try to get my hooks and that was 2 minutes into the game. This is getting ridiculous.

    That's relatively common in the games I play. Events usually bring in an influx of players that often ends up bringing back toxic players/swf groups who just want to be dicks.

    All I’m getting is killers face camping the event hooks if they get somebody on one. Maybe they don’t realise they get the juice instantly?

    Bodyblocking the killer is NOT toxic. And if I have WGLF I will body block you if you're in range because if you hit me I get a stack.

    I expect things will get back to normal levels of abusive behaviour and toxicity once people understand how the event works.

    Lot of players won't have seen the stream or be reading the forums, so they only have the few, short instructions in-game to go off.

    Flashlights are everywhere now and they seem to be easy blinds again since even the most ######### survivor of the team can hit them now. It would be a shame if I ahve to start dodging flashlights again, we will see

    Nope! WAY less toxic for me. :)

    This even seems nice and I enjoy it but what maybe increasing the toxicity is the penalty to Survivors when they die they lose a bit of the vial or at least one tier of it. Now it doesn't really seem like much. However, picture a person who is consistently losing it builds up the rage cause they can barely get one vial done and add in the "tunneling" and or "camping" and trust it's causing toxicity and probably enforcing the "us vs them".
