Leaving Gens | Quality of Life Change

As a survivor, leaving a generator is a dice roll of whether, JUST as you leave, a skill check appears. Of course, this is here so survivors couldn't just jump off the generator at each skill check, but I'm really suprised it hasn't been given the same treatment BHVR gave the perk Overcharge.

If you don't know, if you leave a gen with overcharge, the skill check stays with you, and you can hit it while moving. I really hope that this would be given to regular gen skill checks as well, since leaving a gen to go for a save, heal a teammate, etc. is just a dice roll of whether you'll lose potentially game-winning progress and alert the killer.

This seems like such a minor thing, but it happens all of the time, and is a really necessary quality of life change I hope we'll get sooner rather than later.

    Exactly. It is so frustrating losing 10% of the progress, aka 11 seconds, just because the game decided to be a little #########.

    Exactly! Overcharge has this already, and I'm really sick of missing skill checks completely out of my control. I've lost wayyy too many games to that by now, and I'm amazed this change hasn't happened already!

    And 2sec of pausing progressing, 13sec.

    I actually lost a game because of this. The killer was coming towards us right as Mikaela and I were doing the last gen. We were so close to finishing it, like 98%, when Mikaela had to let go because she was going to be grabbed. I would have had enough time to finish the gen (it was like one second away from being done) but as she left, the gen blew up and I had to let go as well.

    We weren't able to finish the gen after that. We lost.

    It's such a dumb part of the game.

    Guys. This is not going away. Anything that helps survivors is a no go for devs. I am sorry to say so
