Hatch offerings are killer sided
If the hatch's spawn location is public knowledge, it benefits the killer more than the survivors.
Unless the survivor(s) have a key, the last survivor has to wait for the other survivors to die and hope the killer forgot about the offering screen (and never paused to check the offerings in game). This was made worse by how long it takes to suicide on struggle phase to give hatch.
What if the hatch and basement offerings were secret offerings instead?
The hatch offerings would help the survivors and the basement offerings would help the killer.

Yeah, uh, no thanks.

Not if the survivors bring keys.

Hatch offerings are brown and keys are purple/iridescent. Eventually the keys will run out before the hatch offerings. Plus, keys will be nerfed in the future anyway

The only time those offerings are brought, are when the survivors have a key. They are very much survivor sided lol

So then they'd be SWF sided?
One survivor plays a hatch offering, only they can see it, but they can then tell their team what offering they played.

Except for the fact that only time most people bring those offerings is in tandem with a key so no they aren't. Its like the devs forgot keys exist when they put those offerings in the game.

They don't even need to be in a SWF for that. If you have cross-play off you can just tell everyone in the chat in the lobby.
I really wish [i]all[/i] offering were secret. The fact that only a select few are hidden means you can pretty much easily guess what they are. By making them [i]all[/i] hidden until the end of the game then you have more surprise in each match.

This forum doesn't use BB code, you can italicise words by putting them in asterisks and then hitting enter, or just select what you want to format and you can choose from a pop up menu to bold, italicise or
strikethrough.So what you're saying is that it would be PC sided. I don't know if that's better or worse, seeing as SWFs can be cross platform.
Chat lobby is only available for PC players. So it shouldn't really be available at all.

I have so many keys on my survivor main, maybe around 100 just for playing casually. However, players who play religiously are probably going to have an unlimited supply.
Hatch offerings are definitely survivor sided when used with a key, otherwise they are killer sided.

No. it's already annoying to be well on my way to a 4K only to have the game take pity on someone who hid for 99% of the match, did not do generators, and then found the hatch.
I don't want it to be easier for Survivors to get their not-earned escape.

I'm just so used to typing in the codes... .
I think X-box can also chat with X-box, I few players who say they are on "console" can chat with each other, just no anyone who is "cross-play". It may be the PlayStation people who can chat with each other, or maybe just those on Window Store which would again be PC but not Steam.
The whole issue with chat is just confusing to me. Like, I don't understand why it is so hard to have chat on all system and it work together. But then again I almost failed the one networking class I took so I really shouldn't be talking about networking.

You wouldn't need to bank on the hatch as an escape if the survivors were doing their objectives.

Console can't easily chat with each other. There's no in-game chat feature for consoles, instead they have to go via the consoles chat system. That means coming out of the game, opening a chat with that individual person, and sending them a message, which they will have to come out of the game to read.
It's not difficult, but there are extra steps, and it's one to one, not between all players in the lobby.
And yeah, I don't get why there isn't a shared chat system in-game between all platforms either. Sure it might take some console users longer to type out a message, but some have USB keyboards (I play FFXIV on PS5 too), or those mini keyboards that attach to the controller.
