Increase Idle Crow Timer
I find that the idle crows kick in way way to soon. I get about 30sec of being stationary and it has costed me many and many of games. 1 crow starts above me and instantly gives me away.
I don't Locker camp. I'm talking hiding behind things waiting for the killer to leave and slightly moving left to right and I still get them.
I think even an extra 10 seconds would help. I get some prety nasty hook campers and for a crow to give me away sucks.
If any one agrees please respond to the post.

Currently the first idle crow appears after 60 seconds, not 30, and even then, the killer won't be alerted with a notification until you have three crows, which is after 90 seconds of being "idle". If the killer is spending 60 seconds in an area you were better off leaving it rather than staying.

Yes but the crow chirping gives me away. It's very loud

I'm not sure about increasing the time that they appear, there's really no need to be effectively absent from the match for so long and as perks such as Head On use crow interactions, changing that timer would definitely affect that perk...you're not supposed to hide in a locker doing nothing for a minute basically.

I think I had to rewrite this 3 times now it won't let me edit it. Keeps disappearing.
But let's say I'm tree circling and I'm watching a hook camping killer sit on a hook. I'm avoiding him by going around a tree. My survivor now enters the entity spawn time. Killer is still camping the hook. I myself have been hooked 2 times. I can't afford a hook so I stay behind the tree waiting for the perfect time to hop out and unhook him. My suicidal teammate runs in and unhooks him and gets downed. He gets thrown up on the same hook. I'm still sitting behind the tree moving around it and staying out of the killers sight.
Then the idle crow hits me. The killer turns around and chases me and kills me.
Other instances like this has gotten me killed many of time all becuase of an idle crow squaking above me and the killer hearing it.
like I said above I don't locker camp. I only use lockers distractions.
I still move around in a small area but yet I get a idle crow. I'm on a nintendo switch maybe it's a bug ? All I know is it's annoying.

I think if you are inactive that long you are a detriment to your team.
The crowd are basically telling you to go be productive.

Not at all. We all try to unhook one another when it's safe to do so. No one wants to run in and get downed. This happens at least 2-3 times a day and I'm not even sitting there afk. I'm moving around avoiding a killer. He will loop and loop the same little hooked area over and over untill he dies. I just wish that when I moved at least 5 feet that should stop the idle crows.

I have some video I'll throw up when I get back home tonight. I have even gotten crows crouching around the elementary school going down all the hallways. I have that on video as well
