Totem spawns
Why do totems either spawn out in the open or by a generator, or in a spot so out of the way you have to start a manhunt for it?
There is no middleground, it's either in plain sight, or so tightly hidden away you can't even interact with it because the hitbox for the object it's crammed into is larger than the hitbox for the totem.

I know there's that one spot in Lery's that is absolutely filthy to get with devour hope.

I believe bc new maps and maps that are being reworked new totem spawns are quite out of the way compared to old maps.

You would THINK they would be harder to find on new maps. You would think it.

In a general sense, yes. Compare Glenvale, Yamaoka and Midwich totem spawns to pre change and old maps.

I agree that totems are FAR better on the new/reworked maps. I've seen some nasty spawns on Glenvale and Midwich, in particular. It's the reason I was so shocked to see that abomination on the reworked Auto map. Whoever thought that was a good idea could only have been trying to give the notoriously awful Asylum spawn (that's in the wide open) a run for its money, lol.

Oh yeah, that asylum totem is epic. Not even a patch of tall grass around it.

To be honest, when they eventually update that map, that totem spawn is so notorious, I almost hope they double-down on it and leave it there. Maybe put a light above it, or a carnival sign pointing to it. Make it even more of a meme, lol. I could actually respect that type of in-joke. 🤣

Setting hitbox problems aside, does the middle-ground even exist?
In my personal experience, they either disappear fast, don't disappear, or disappear soon after i display the effects.
Of course exceptions have occurred, but still.
Can you give an example perhaps, of what hiding spot you consider middle-ground?

Totems should never be just..handed over..they should require a bit of searching outside the objective

I don't know what's going on on Father Campbell's Chapel, but hill totems are just spawing in front of the hill instead of the inner side of the rock by the tall grass. It was allready a terrible spot for totems, but this is just ridiculous now.
Something is definitly wrong with totems right now.

I hope they change it but keep place a tombstone as a memento for the good years served. :P
It's kinda hard to speak of a middle ground totem spawn. Eventually you can memorize them so it becomes more of a checklist that you need to follow. But in a general sense, I would consider a good middle ground somewhere you need to actively look for. Not so easy as killer shack, not so out of the way as the one in the bottom of the temple of purgation.

I don't believe there is a middle ground, as they're generally easy or incredibly difficult to find. But if I was to think about maybe newer survivors or survivors who don't dedicate the maps to memory, I would say when a totem spawns between bushes, or if it spawns near a fire barrel.
