Survivors - What Would You Prefer The Killer To Do In *This* Situation? Genuine Question.

Do what you feel you'd enjoy more at the time. It's impossible to know what they want.

When I play survivor I certainly would not be upset at a killer being nice! Yet if the killer decides to kill everyone (or attempt to) I absolutely won't get upset and childlike over it.

Just play normally, but dont tunnel or camp at this point. You basically won the game when someone DCs early, so you can play a little bit chill so that everyone (including yourself) gets some BPs. Not really farming, but go for 3 Hooks on each Survivor so that there is more interaction.

If someone afk’s or dc’s at 4 or 5 gens I’m suiciding on hook so idc what you do. I’m also not gonna go for saves as well.

I would rather your second option. Heck, I had a game 2 DCs and the other surv went AFK so the Killer and I played around with chases for a bit and then let them hook me.

But, I don't care too much one way or another. DCs are frustrating for both sides. So, I can understand Killers and/or Survivors just wanting to get it over with as fast as possible too.

People chewing you out though is utterly ridiculous.

I tend to lean toward the solution where you continue trying to kill people but you go for three hooks each so everyone has a chance to get some points. If survivors want to leave the game sooner, they have ways they can communicate that.

When I'm playing survivor, I'm fine with that solution, and I'm usually also fine with farming if everyone else wants to farm. I just think it's important to let people die if they don't want to farm.

"I actually looked into this, and I cannot find a single case, even anecdotally, of someone being banned for 'not playing normally'. Hell, I can't even find an example of someone being banned for AFKing."

That's the thing, we know people are getting banned for things, we just never recieve confirmation that our reports do help get people banned. I know of plenty people that have been banned for a multitude of reasons, but we never get confirmation that our input helped. Reporting people in game does have an effect, we just never know if it has. We never know if the players that have been hacking or purposely been ruining games actually recieve a punishment.

As for toolboxes, they are actually quite fine. Medkits and their addons though shivers.

Kill them all and move on. I'd rather move on to a better game than a Carebear cuddle fest.

I generally just go for two hooking the remaining survivors.

I like to go easier on the remaining survivors, but don't go full farm. One time though I got into a game and as soon as I switched to Victor 3 of them DC'd. I felt really bad for the last guy and ended up messaging him to come to the hatch and leave because there was no point the game was ruined

Step 1) close the game chat and never open it again

Step 2) in that scenario, do only whatever YOU want

Step 3) profit

Ignore the brats that cry bloody murder over 'holding a game hostage'. they are pathetic losers who really need to do some soulsearching. 'Cause lbr: had you 'played to win' they would have thrown a tantrum over how bad you are that you need a DC to win blahblahblah

I mean, yeah, I generally prefer BP and a free escape. I would never expect it though. As a killer, I usually just let them go if someone DC's first minute or 2 leave randomly while 3 or more gens are left. And if they got mad about it, I would tell them, "I don't care." I am the killer, I decide who to kill. Get used to it, sugar!

As a sort of follow up to this thread. A similar but not entirely the same situation.

As killer you get a couple of quick downs early in the game, perhaps even before the first gen pops. Suddenly one or two of the survivors start chasing you trying to get you to kill them because they give up, long before the game is even over.

Should we adhere to their wishes and down them and hook them so they can suicide or should we ignore them and focus on playing a casual game with the remaining survivors.

Personally I usually go with ignoring them and after they notice I won't do as they want they'll scamper off and go back to playing the game but others just start pallet vaulting near a hook to have me come to them instead of following me around.

The issue is that if I do kill them it might make the other survivors just give up too and it ruins the entire match. Which is even more annoying when people brought cakes or BPS.

Honestly, I'd prefer killers to play how you want to play. It isn't your fault that someone DC'd because they can't cope with a certain killer/ power/ map or simply getting downed first. The only thing I would ever ask of a killer is to just not take the actions of one or two DC babies out on the ones who have stayed and at least tried to keep the game going.

We know it's going to be harder, we know our chances of getting out alive have been slashed some, so there is honestly no need to be a d**k about it. And by being a d**k I don't mean actually doing your job, I don't expect you to throw the game in sympathy. But something like slugging everyone and watching them bleed out is....unnecessary. Yeah, I get it, you're still doing your job but in the most obnoxious and drawn-out way.

Also when it comes to being a survivor in a game where someone DC's and the killer decides to be nice and just farm for points, I always ask them to 3rd hook me. It's my way of attempting to at least compensate the killer for their robbed points since they just basically hand fed us a decent amount and allowed us access to escape. I actually tend to find that most killers won't 3rd hook me, but it doesn't hurt to let them know that yes, you sympathize that they got somewhat screwed too.

I very occasionally swf with one of my buddies, and we actually have a rule where if two survivors DC, we pretty much head to the killer with our hands up, basically giving them a chance to end the game early and move on. Some give us points then kill, some just kill and some insist on our escape, and most interactions end up being hilarious because the killer says "Screw it" and meme's about for a while.

I guess this is my long winded way of saying, killer or survivor, play how you want to play after one or multiple DC's, just have some compassion for the other side because at the end of the day, you both got screwed in one way or another, and while you don't have to throw games or farm, you don't need to attempt to punish the people who stayed because of the ones that couldn't hack it and tapped out.

I used to do the same as you. Whenever this has happened more recently, I just try to end the game as quickly as possible, just kill everyone, afk when the last one has to look for the hatch, more on to the next game, they'll move on too. Turn off chat or just ignore anything they say because there is no way of pleasing the people you go against no matter how saintly you are.

I personally just play the game as normal. If people wanna turn into rage babies over a video gamez they need to so some self evaluation.

Just play the game. But I would be happy if you at least don't sweat. No strategic tunneling/camping.

because obv you won, obv there is nothing you can do about that as survivor. Just don't be a big D. And please don't farm.. This is boring, there is no gameplay involved and it takes forever.

Just be chill

I get that. Tbh I used to be like that. Sea of thieves used to bring out the worst in me. But this game is the one that helped me get over that and see, it's just games and win,lose or being slugged....its still better than being at work or whatever lol
