Please Revert Struggle Phase to Previous Mechanic
Like the title says. When this rework was first announced I knew this was going to be a headache. It’s only been a week and I’m mentally EXHAUSTED from all the stupid farming (especially without Borrowed Time) after a hook or in the killer’s face. This is ridiculous. Farming was a problem before, it’s even worse now. If it can’t be reverted, at least give the option to submit to the entity. Give the killer extra points for that if you have to. But to be pulled off hook by so many asshats in this community, only to give them points and get downed again is infuriating. I definitely understand & can appreciate the convenience factor of not having to keep hitting the space bar, X, or A button. But there is a lot of us in this community that can’t stand being farmed, so please meet us half way.
I just had a game where there was 3 of us left with one gen to go. I was the only one doing a gen. I get it to 97% when the killer found me and downed me. I look around and see these two a holes crouched in corners. One is fairly close by. I see what’s about to happen a mile away, and like clockwork- I get hooked then farmed off without borrowed time. I had let one skill check pass and waited for what seemed like forever for another one to skip, but alas- it never came as i watched this jerk running towards me with BP logos in his eyes.
Killer comes after me even though he injured the bum, and I’m further away. Eventually i get downed again, and killed. I’m dead and I have a considerable amount of more points than the other two who were alive. Eventually they both die. Fun times. Enough is enough. Fix this #########.

On behalf of people with hand pain and smashed space bars, please do not bring back old struggle.

Sorry, I was the only one not on death hook. It was my second. No edit button? Lol

I get it. Trust me. I’d be happy if we could at least submit to the entity manually.
2 -
Nah, survivors shouldn't be trying to kill themselves on the hook anyway. If it's such a problem for you maybe you should slot decisive strike.

I'm going to have to disagree with you, strongly.
- I don't like wearing out expensive keyboards and controllers.
- I don't like carpel tunnel syndrome.
- This change doesn't have any effect on whether people farm you or not.

It amazes me what people complain about
11 -
NO NO NO. DO NOT BRING THE OLD STRUGGLE BACK.
16 -
It’s ok. I also mentioned a button to submit manually.
0 -
Why not just an option to choose between the old and new one? I used my scroll wheel and had no problem with it at all but I can see why people prefer the other one.
2 -
Lol you farm don’t you? J/k I use different builds and play with all the characters. I shouldn’t have to use decisive strike every single game. Besides, I saw a doctor tunnel a teammate with BT & DS right out the game, a couple days ago. If my teammates want to be cowards and hide, I should be able to opt out of continuing to play with them. In the example i gave they were not noobs- just farming cowards.

New struggle great, old struggle; never again in a million years. The amount of times stutter has killed me was enough to rage out and stop playing for a day or 2. I can accept a death for being stupid or making a mistake but dying because of the game spazzing, not so much lol.

Good point. I forgot about that. That was never fun. Someone once told me if any player was searching through a chest while in struggle, it would mess your timing up. I saw it with my own eyes, twice- but I don’t know if that was actually the cause. Once i went into a chest, the other time it was me on hook and i saw a teammates aura trying to search a chest. This was before the animation was changed to trying to jimmy it open.

You're good! I still have anxiety from those matches lol. Never fun when the game decides to end you when your teammate is about to grab you lol.

no

Ok 😞

Or you could just deal with the skillchecks, I mean they have been in the game since day one idk why you don't think it is already good enough and needs a change tho.

No. I'm sorry but I am tired of matches where people throw on the hook because they are salty.
At least now Survivors have a chance to save them & get some BP before the toddler gets a chance to quit the game via hook.
And I also get the chance for any perks I have running stacks, like Devour Hope. Nothing pisses me off more like running DH and some angry child decides 'I got hit too fast! Let me just hook-quit!' and then; no more stacks from them!
2 -
please don't switch struggle back it's far less annoying now.
0 -
No. People need to stop rage quitting and there shouldn't be an incentive to do so.
I'm tired of getting games ruined, because babies can't handle playing a pvp game.

U should be asking for a button to give up instead of reverting that horrible mechanic. On so many occasions a lag spike got me killed bc of that stupid button mashing.
0 -
So, "wah, I wanna suicide."
Well, there's a DC button. Use it and get the punishment you should be getting.
1 -
Keep it, I've gone through enough controllers. If your intent on dying there is no reason getting rehooked should matter.
0 -
skip two checks and you die instantly
0 -
Just fail two skill checks in a row if you wanna die early.
The new struggle is great because I don't have to mash my space bar like a monkey. With that said it'd be great if the devs brought back BP for struggling on hook.
0 -
I'm still waiting for wiggle part to be fixed as well

I definitely don't want the old mechanics back, the new one is much more pleasant. But: I still want the ability to kick the meghead (or whoever comes running at me with the killer on their butt to farm me) in the face. Then he's put into death status and the killer just has to pick him up. XD
Or the more polite version: one click to decline a save.
1 -
Translation : make it so I can suicide on hook again when I'm in a match I don't want to play.
3 -
While I personally prefer new struggle mechanic more, I think making it as an option would be better.
So people can choose which one they want in the settings. But this game studio doesn't like that, its only yes or no, this or that, 1 or 0 for them in every change
1 -
There's no reason to make rage-quitting easier.
I can't count the number of times I've gone to save someone only to have them kill themselves on hook because they're salty. Screwing the team over, probably resulting in other deaths when we could have escaped, and robbing me of altruism points.
You queued for the game. Play it.
0 -
Why should we be held hostage in a terrible match when we ARE playing the game and our teammates are crouching in corners, too scared to do anything? I gave you an example. Cmon now. That’s not fun for us. Let us “que” up for another match with teammates that are actually trying. You want to play hide and go seek, that’s your business. I’m not trying to stay in that match with you.
0 -
It’s not fast enough. I already addressed it in the OP. Gives farmers more time. The old mechanic had an animation that still wasn’t perfect, but it was much quicker.
0 -
You’re missing the point- we shouldn’t have to run the same perk every game to try and counter. If a killer wants to tunnel, he’ll tunnel through the DS. I use different builds for all the characters. If your teammates are playing like crap, no one should be forced to remain in the game with them. And I’m talking about players who are not even trying. Straight cowards. Not those who are immersive, that’s different. They try.

I did. I put it in the OP as an alternative.

Oh yea- you definitely farm people.

Yea i know it sucks as killer, but it sucks even more when you have two idiots hiding not doing anything. In the example i gave, I was able to get the gen i was working on from 0 to 97%, because he spent all that time trying to find the other two who were doing nothing. When he came back to the first gen he checked (which was the one i was working on), he found me and it almost done. Then he downed and hooked me, was heading for the only one he saw with barbecue but came right back and downed me again after i was farmed. He hooked me again and ONLY because of barbecue, he found someone then rinsed and repeated to get the last. That entire time not one teammate went on a gen. Fun times eh?

So you want to quit the match because survivors crouch instead of saving you, but skipping two skillchecks is not fast enough because they manage to save you in that time?
Seems like your goal is ruin games to other players as fast as possible and you upset because you don't have this opportunity anymore.
I quited playing survivor side because of teammates that can't handle being hooked once. Playing with survivors like this is much worse than playing with ones that heal in the corner with selfcare everytime they can. Survivors that urban-evading every time they scared will learn how to play eventually. Survivors that dc or suicide just looking for easier matches. You don't get better teammates until you become a good teammate yourself.
1 -
You're wasting four peoples time when you DC or suicide. The 15 minutes it took to "queue" in to that game, and the 10-15 minutes or so the game takes. 30 minutes wasted for four other people, because you were too salty to play the game you chose to play.

Yea, you didn’t read the OP properly at all. I gave an example. How can I ruin a game for others when I was the only one working towards an objective, got farmed, then killed out the game?? What’s the point of staying in a game to get farmed by players who aren’t doing anything?? I am truly baffled by your thought process. Is this what you do? Farm people and expect them to just accept it so you can have points?? Thats selfish and you’re ruining the game for those getting hooked.
0 -
Yea, you didn't read the OP properly either. I gave an example and explained exactly what happened. There is no way you read that, comprehended it, and still post what you just posted. Do you not understand I was farmed and killed? What was the point of that?? I died any way. At least let us the player, make that decision. My beef is not with the killer. It’s with the coward teammates who farm you out of stupidity. Points, or both. How would you have felt if that was you? Do you call that fun- getting a gen to 97% BY YOURSELF, only to see your teammates crab walking- purposely not doing anything because they’re scared?? Then after you’re hooked you’re farmed off, then hooked again. When you watch the remainder of the match, they both die almost instantly. That’s acceptable right? Thats fun to you, right? Farming people is not selfish? Please let me hear you spin an excuse out of this. I’m not talking about those jerks who quit because they were the first one caught, or they don’t like the killer chosen. I’m talking about teammates who refuse to TRY and play the game, and come running to farm you off the hook. Which makes no sense, because safe hooks give you more points. And I don’t want to hear anything about DS because I addressed it 3 times already in this thread.

My post was a reply to your later responds saying that you want to suicide wathcing teammates crouching and skipping two skillchecks isn't fast enough to end it.
And reworking struggle has 2 good points. 1 - you don't have to mash space. It actually could hurt your palm. 2 - you don't leave your teammates because you salty.
So much selfish bastards ruined my game while I was doing gens and waiting for better chance to save. Countless amount of my survivor games was ruined by people like you. You're no different from survivors that don't want to play against 23 certain killers because it's too hard. I am the teammate who actually try, and you would easily leave me behind with your mentality. And I'm sure you did leave a lot of teammates who wanted to play a normal game, but hey didn't perform good enough for you.
I understand your point perfectly. You don't want old struggle mechanic back. You just want better teammates for easier games. But you always feeling free to become the worst teammate yourself by leaving your team.

No.

No, thank you. Constantly pushing space was painful; I much prefer skill checks. The only downside is no more BP for struggling.
1 -
Your case is an outlier, a tiny minority of cases.
The rest of us don't deserve to be screwed over for a tiny minority of cases where you end up being annoyed for an extra 30 seconds.
If you died anyway, why was there a reason to DC? You're still gonna leave the match.
0 -
Because no individual Survivor should be allowed to screw the entire game for their teammates out of a sense of selfishness.
1 -
I understand the feeling of having teammates crouching at the end corners of maps but the quick suicide would be abused for sure. I've had teammates suicide as soon I get to them for the rescue. People love to troll. I just want custom game single player bots.
Playing with people who ruin the game to troll takes away any fun in the game.
So I understand the OP but I'm not sure quick suicides are the answer on this one.

No thanks, I'd rather not ruin the X button on another controller.
