    How many of those are there? Can't you just go to another one?

    @Orion If I am not mistaken, you have to actually be farming the plant to get the nectar. no one else can do it for you and if the plant is all sucked dry before you get there, it’s you snooze you lose, right?

    also, I think it’s around 2 or 3.

    So... if a killer camps the cankers, do gens he only can can camp one of those at the time!

    Gosh its seems a common sense isn't as common as it should be!

    7 gens, 2 cankers (+1 for each offering) without offerings, and you are telling me the killer is not chasing someone? patrolling gens? being in both the cankers at the same time?

    Mmm... it must be a new killer who can be in multiples places at the same time?

    @Skarkio Yes, I know it is common sense to gen rush, we have been doing that but I would like to participate in the event too without someone hindering me from it. 

    The killer doesnt have to be in a chase to camp the plants. Doing gens won’t fill the vial up. lol.

    Well , I wonder what could be wrong when hundred of others survivors have already severals vials, but you seems to have problems obtaining yours?

    I myself obtained 6 with survivor and 14 with the killer

    if you really can't obtain yours , go for those 30 of the killer first and when the great mayority of the survivors had already their skins go for yours

    @Skarkio I understand that too but I’m just frustrated at the fact that’s killers camp the plants just to be an #########.

    Events like these brings out the worse in players and it’s so sad because everyone should be in an enthusiastic mood and respecting others when playing. It is a limited time even though we have plenty of time to complete it.

    There are 2 on each map + 1 per offering. If there are only 2 or 3, then you didn´t made the offering.
    If the killer camps, then camp the killer or do a gen or search another one.
    I found if way easier to get the survivor viales, than the killer viales.

    Camping cankers is a waste of time, but it is a good idea to patrol them if you see one nearby.

    Should Killers just let Survivors harvest?

    I plan to find any English talking survivors and just say you can harvest till you fill if I can two hook on event hooks for my vial

    @GodDamn_Angela No but they just don’t randomly happen to bump into survivors harvesting. They do it to be toxic. Smack them and then move on to the next plant.

    It must feel really good knowing we can’t sabo their event hooks anymore

    If they camp the plants, they are not paroling the gens. I was hoping for some mercy from the killer that they would let me finish harvesting when they saw me(I didn't run when they saw me and were coming after me I still kept harvesting the nectar) but none was shown :p

    Yeah so do Gens until they get bored with patrolling/camping cankers and then go do the canker. However, if it is too difficult/annoying just try in the next match. Its the same as moving between Gens while a Killer is patrolling one you are working on or they camp a hook.

    I know a lot of players want the outfits so it is annoying when Killers hit them while they are farming cankers, but that's just part of the event. You'll get the cosmetics eventually, it's not going to be as easy or quick as you would probably like.

    PS4 est. I was able to get 3 vials as killer in 4 games and 9 vials as survivor in about 15. Have you seen people report once everyone has the 30 vials full on either side you no longer can interact with the plants and break them for points? If you don't get your stuff early. The grind will be real when people stop burning offerings.

    I hope they change that. Otherwise it will be impossible to get all vials.

    @Tsulan imagine if they didn't raise the cap. I think 180 hooks as killer will be harder once survivors stop burning offerings.

  • TigerKirby215
    TigerKirby215 Member Posts: 604

    Event plants aren't objectives. Event hooks are. By sabotaging event hooks, you are sabotaging the killer's main objective.
    In addition the killer can only camp one plant. There are two at base and you can get more with offerings.
    If the killer is camping plants escape with the precentage of nectar that you have. Let him derank because he wanted to be an ######### instead of playing the game.

    They are already hard right now. Unless i get a group that just wants to farm.
    There are no normal matches right now. Either SWF deathsquads that know how to keep me busy without getting all my hooks, or the complete oposite.

    I have only played 4 matches as killer the first group was like that 2 ds and the flashlight save group. i got my special hooks and wiped them out after that the other groups were ok. I got my hooks and let them all leave. Someone actually had the balls to message me after i let their group escape that i wasn't very good at killer. I had hooked all of them twice and stood on a hill in the red forest the rest of the match while they got the last 3 generators and plants and whatever else they got. I hope to see them and that person again soon.

    @Tsulan I’m not saying we should get free harvest, my point is killers would ignore gens and go straight to camping plants just so we wouldn’t get them.

    You must be doing something wrong PinkEricka. I’ve only been playing for 3 hours and I’m already at 9/10 and almost have my 10th. That’s with playing a few Killer matches in between as well. I’m same time zone, same region, also on PS4.

    @SovererignKing It took me 4 hours to get 8 vials lol. I guess I must be having bad luck today with killers today.

    Most survivors are obsessed with getting their vials filled that they are ignoring gens until they get all the plants done. So its actually a good idea for killers to hang out at those plants. I know its working for the ones I have been playing with. People on the hook 2 or 3 times before a gen even gets done. And that's with no ruin too. Ridiculous.

    All you Trapper and Hag players would do well to trap up those plants because most survivors are obsessed with them right now.

    I'm glad I just bought my Hallowed Dwight cosmetic instead of having to go do objectives that have nothing to do with surviving in order to get it.

    But killers can´t see the plants. They have to search them, like survivors.

    I'm having the opposite experience, they're popping gens fast and only doing 1 of 2 plants if that. Sometimes once they've 2 gens done they'll go look for plants. They're also harvesting plants and leaving other survivors on hooks.

    Coming into this thread late but....*clears throat*

    1) yes @PinkEricka , @fcc2014 and I had some really good games last night, I pipped and got enough points each game to usually clear a blood web. 

    2) @SovererignKing just because you've been lucky enough to not encounter these ######### killers who r swatting survivors away from plants. Good for u, I'm jealous. There's even been a thread about how some jerk is doing that and it's the best event for him. 

    3) me and @lyric and @Vietfox (RIP) are having some good games this morning to. Everyone's burning offerings and I'm still usually piping every game. 

    4) yea I got the 1 blue screen of death but that's it. And I've never had it before.

    The game should be renamed to "Farm by Daylight" because usually every killer wants to farm and the survivors usually swarm the cranker plant when I'm near one. When this happens, it means they are wanting me to farm with them most of the times.
