New Player - Quitting before I begin.

I really like the idea of this game - I get to play freddy or myers from my fav movies. They even have a Silent Hill killer!

I load into the game with my killer and thats where the game ends. Why do they call them killers when the "Survivors" literally run at you and have zero fear?

This is how a game goes for a new player - I realize that you guys don't really care about new players and take your marching orders from whatever twitch steamer, with thousands of hours tells you; but take notice.

STEP 1 = Locate a Generator you hear ticking and Chase Survivor

a) Pick which Survivor to chase while knowing the others will be right back on the gen when you start chasing.

b) Survivor uses Sprint/Lithe to widen the gap

c) Survivor jumps through a window and hits pallet after pallet after pallet - The tiles are so close that there is no way to catch up. (All this time they are teabagging Michael Myers or The Executioner? Where is the terror?!)

d) Survivor 360's you or dodges your attack

HIT!!! HOORAYYY (We go a hit, now we only need 1 more!! Oh it looks like they have done a few generators...)

Chase Survivor

a) Survivor uses Dead Hard to widen the gap

b) Get hit with multiple pallets

c) Survivor 360's you or dodges your attack

HIT (Got you!! You fool, you think you can stand up to likes of Freddy Krueger?!)

STEP 2 = Take survivor to Hook

Ok, I got my meat, time to age it on a hook, but oh no the...

a) Survivor Wiggles free by the time to get to hook

b) Hook is destroyed by another Survivor

c) You are body blocked by Survivor

d) You get pallet to the face and drop your Survivor

e) You are blinded by another Survivor's flashlight

((If any of the above happens, don't worry friend! Simply go back to STEP 1))

SURVIVOR IS HOOKED SUCCESS!!

But my goodness, there is no generators left! Well at least I got that guy who was so annoying with the teabagging - I can't believe it took so long to get him but I did!!

Normally, this is where I would say try to find another survivor in the time left, but there is no need good sir! Why not? Because they have been buzzing around the guy i just hooked liked flies. But how can this be? I AM A KILLER

No im not.

The guy gets unhooked as people bodyblock, use borrowed time, abuse the unhook animation. They run of to a gate which has been 99% - laughing as they leave.

Rinse and repeat.

Before people start saying "get better" or "chase someone else" - when someone has Object of Obsession and as soon as the game starts runs at you, knowing that they can abuse the killer, something is wrong. If you are telling new players to "get better", when they are chasing someone for 5 gens , its insulting.

=================================

Again, devs probly only care about those thousands of hours players who have established themselves in their ears.

How can we fix it?

I have though about different things like, stamina bars for survivors that will empty after X min. This means that they are slowed as they are out of breath and once this does happen, it would be after say 2 or 3 mins - enough to make the chase worthwhile for the teammates doing the gens.

All Perks for the Killers/Survivors you own are available at max rank from the start. They can only be used once and they cannot be used again until you have used every other perk. (Willing to say 90%80%). This means that people are forced to mix it up and use all the perks. It means killers dont always have hex ruin - survivors dont always have DS.

Chase Time effects how fast you die on hook. If you chase someone for 10 mins, they should be going straight into second hook or have an increased rate of struggle; you could even put skill checks instead of hammering space bar.

===========

I really hope someone see's this as I only ever see long term players telling new people to "get better", rather than admitting new killers don't have much fun.
