To The Killers Who Wait Until You Finish Your Glyph Before Hitting You
A very pleasant lifetime of survivor and killer matches. You are the REAL MVPs of DBD. Never change.

If they are not toxic, i will always let them finish it.
I also let people sometimes finish a totem or something like that when the game is over amyway before i kill them.

Big ups to them, the amount of times I've stopped mid chase while injured (guaranteeing the killer will down me and get their hook) so I can get a glyph has been a lot, every time I have done this though they've downed me and hooked me without letting the glyph complete, while I don't think I'm entitled to the glyph, I did end the chase prematurely giving them free pressure so I can get a stupid challenge out the way.
5 -
I've done this and had this happen to me which I fully respect. People who just accept "I'm getting a free hit in exchange for their challenge" I like.
Wish more killers in particular would respect this. If I see someone start a glyth, mid chase as killer I let them have it. Though I've definitely had killers who have hit me and killed me before I've finished done it.

I'll sometimes hit them by accident, because I just didn't process why they stopped mid chase, then accidentally hit them and then I'm like "aw dang it, get back here and get your glyph, IM SORRY" lol

I do (usually) still down them but unless someone has irked me in the game, I will always let them get the thingy if they stop midchase or just before a chase starts to grab the thingy

And here's the thanks you'll get in game.

Add this rule to the Survivor Handbook, HURRY!

I absolutely do my best to let them grab Glyphs (especially the Yellow Glyph ones, and if I see they are doing a White Glyph challenge I'll let em be until they return from the basement). Obviously, as killer, whether you allow a Survivor to grab a glyph is entirely up to you, but I understand they aren't easy for a lot of Survivors to find/get so I give them a bit of time to collect it (plus, I'd rather focus on the Survivors working on the gens or searching for my totems if I have a Hex).

had a game once where the killer could've easily had a 4k. 2 people were dead, 1 was on hook, and I was injured in chase. I was running to unhook cos there wasn't really anything else to do, and there was a chance I could've been downed before I reached it. there turned out to be a glyph right next to hook, I said screw it and decided to try and collect it. the killer let me do it, and let me unhook. they still chased us, but the person I unhooked got borrowed time of course... and they probably could've still caught me, but they decided to just let us survive? it was a very nice match :)

If I see someone with the white mirror, I always let them live. Its worth 25k bloodpoints extra. I just cannot commit to the kill at that point lol. I try to be fair and some glyphs, like the yellow ones are really hard to do so a bit of kindness goes a long way. I appreciate you and everyone who does the same. Its just nice to allow a bit of helpfulness sometimes.

The ones that let survivors grab their glyph are awesome. The ones that notice a survivor carrying a mirror and let them escape when they could've killed them are the best.

Some of the Glyphs are a pain.
If I see someone stop to do a Glyph, I'll almost always let them finish it, barring a few situations.

I had one nice Tentacle Daddy come at me while I was opening a chest that I needed for a challenge. I stopped, crouched a couple of times and pointed at the box and he waited for me to open it and then killed me. He made my day. Thank you to whoever you are.

I wish they would rework Blood Warden to where rather than hook someone after doors are open, it would proc if the survivors stand in the gate for more than 7 seconds. I'd play killer if they did.

The trauma you must have from this, I hope you're ok.
5 -
I'm ok I found the cure
5 -
oh no, poor dwight!
gg next game
1 -
Yup because these survivor players are all the exact same. Makes sense.
3 -
No problem, glad I can help survivors in completing their challenges

Techno dance time!
Nah thankfully this is very rare for me. Because I like to be silly though and I run Mad grit to see the silly animation of swinging constantly it has the nice side effect of countering bullies like this. Yes! Please do body block and try get your flashlight saves, I’m sure it won’t go badly. Pig goes brr brrr brr (with the drill).

If you have not hit me with a flashlight or Head On, and you are not a Dead Hard user... I will give you every glyph or challenge.

Is called empathy. Glyphs are a pain to find sometimes.
Although I have none for macro-clickers.

A sweet flashlight rave! The best sendoff 😁

I'm a pretty chill killer most of the time. Don't sweat like you're playing a comp game and I will let you get all the event items and glyphs you want. If you need to sweat, I need to kill you 👌😊

Problem is, I have not ONCE seen a single survivor stop running when I am getting a glyph.
Not ONCE. But I have let survs get them..
2 -
Survivors arent able to stop you from getting them. That's the difference. You can get them without someone else stopping you.
5 -
It always warms my heart when a survivor crouches exactly one time to thank it and we can carry on with our game.

Two times I met killers that allow me to pick glyph, and about 5 times when they give a hatch. But the majority are sweaty and hysterical. It's worrying how many insecure, angry and low-self-esteemed people play killer. As if they not playing the game for fun, but trying to find some self-assertation and imaginary revenge on cruel world.
I alway let survivors do challenges and let last one go. I even gave more than 50 "left for dead" achievements.

Thread is about being a cool player, survs could do that too. Hell if one stopped running, I would probably let them go. IDK maybe meme and have fun? shine a flashy at the glyph and crouch?
you know, like this?
nah that is asking too much
0 -
No, the thread is about killers who let survivors get glyphs, not about cool players or victim mentality.
1 -
No one is complaining about being a victim at all, simply saying, both sides can be cool towards the others and it doesnt have to be a comp fest. I played extremly friendly during event and obviously do not take this game as seriously as some of you.
I enjoy messing around with killer as surv, if some of you woul,d relax a bit and have fun you may actually enjoy the game more.
To each his own, hope you all have a good 4th of July, Im about to get the backyard ready for tomorrow!

Most killers I've encountered have stopped to let me do glyphs. I try to pay it forward when I can.
The only exception is if they want to do a white glyph mid-chase, because that's asking me not to down them afterwards. But if I see someone doing a white glyph or carrying a mirror before I latch onto them, I'll follow them to the basement.
1 -
Same to all survivors who stop running away when Killer is doing gly--- Oh wait. Nope. None of those.
1 -
You are welcome :) But its nice to get some recognition once in a while.

Awwww ... ain't you precious?

How cute....

One role has the entire match to seek out glyphs with no hinderance whatsoever if they choose to.
The other, not so much.
