I feel you. There is nothing you can do except rotate around the map and check every nook and cranny (even lockers). Shame you haven't got whispers, it helps a ton with these kinds of situations.

Master still trying to troll after 3 years and blame everything on anyone and anything besides himself.

I feel the OP. A single survivor left with urban evasion can be a pain in the ass if they know how to stealth. I’ve been on the survivor side and I end up running into the open to get chased. Sometimes the killer is like “okay, let’s farm, I made no points after your 3 pals dc” hah

Yeah, it’s only for the pleasure of being a troll, when the hatch is open I go looking for the survivor instead of camping it and if I find them waiting at near the hatch and I’m there, I’ll simply hit them in the way I get the most points and let them leave. I just simply thought that a survivor who had 5 gens left against a billy would just engage the chase when their the last on left instead of hiding around for an hour to just dc when I find them

That's not holding the game hostage, that's just you being bad at finding survivors. A better example of holding the game hostage would be if a survivor finds a way to glitch to a place inaccessible to the killer (like a rooftop) and stays there.

Yes it really is. if we take what OP said as truth.

He cannot TD because there are 5 gens left.

And he's not touching any generators as OP stated that's hostage taking, he's hiding for as long as possible without doing ANY objective hoping the killer quits.

How is that any different to a killer blocking a dude in a corner?

Neither of them are trying to win all they are doing is wasting the other persons time.

And you can talk about being "Bad a finding survivors" if he's a P3 Claudette in a dark area of the map with Urban away from any gens they can be virtually impossible to find unless you have your brightness set to surpernova.

So there’s 5 gens left, I’m on a big ass map and the devs couldn’t have been bothered to implement a system where the survivors location is pinged after not touching a generator for 30 minutes and counting now:). Thanks BHVR 

There needs to be a system that allows the killer to get an increasingly more accurate clue as to where the survivors are when not having been in a chase of X amount of seconds.

Example:

The aggressive crow mechanic

Survivors have a new animation where they protect their head from bird attacks. (Yes i'm seriously)

When a killer hasn't entered a chase (+ no survivor is hooked) for X amount of seconds, Y amount of crows will attack a random survivor, stunning them in that animation for Z amount of seconds;

They then continue to fly around in a 20 meter radius for B amount of seconds seconds.

(stage 1)
X = 40 + (20 for each survivor alive): Y = 1. Z = 1. B = 0. (Crow can be heard from an 8 meter range)

(stage 2)
X = 120 + (20 for each survivor alive): Y = 3. Z = 2. B = 5. (Crows can be heard from a 32 meter range)

(stage 3)
X = 220 + (20 for each survivor alive): Y = 10. Z = 3 B = 20. (Crows can be heard globally)

(stage 4)
After every 120 seconds, the effects of stage 3 repeats.

Once a killer has found a survivor, this mechanic resets to 0 and has to start from stage 1, meaning that it's possible to stealth your way in this game, but it also slowly moves towards a point where the killer will be able to find you, meaning that you need to win a chase before you can start to stealth again.

Because low-count survivor teams need more time for stealth, it's part of the X variable.

That sounds like it punishes stealthy Survivors and rewards Killers for failing to find anyone.

@Orion

How often are you hidden for longer than 60 seconds as a whole team?
How often are you hidden for longer than 300 seconds as a solo survivor?

If someone is hidden for that long, then most likely the game is not progressing.
(or the killer isn't receiving any form of stimuli)
If it is, then they still have it within their power to be hidden.

They have the ability to leave the area while the killer has a 20 meter approximation of where you are.

Instead of it being a complete hide and seek throughout the map (Which is extremely boring for the killer), it's a hide-and-seek throughout the map with moments of closer approximation information.

The only scenario's in which this mechanic would really hurt when not used in an abusable manner is;

but here the game is also no longer really progressing.

Therefore:

Because Death-Efficiency hasn't been fixed and thus killers regress any progress that can be made, there barely is a point.

When Dead-Efficiency is fixed and generator regression no longer hurts last-living survivors (any or if at all) then you could add 1 thing to the Aggressive Crow Mechanic:

Mechanic:
Working on a generator/healing/opening a chest reduces the Aggressive Crow timer at X amount of the speed for every second of your action.

This mechanic cannot be added properly as regression is still a problem for late-game and would thus allow a survivor to reduce the aggressive crow timer while still not making progress.
