Stop 3 Genning

It's a bit of a sore topic for me atm because i had 4 games in a row that lasted 30-45min because of this, then my first game the next day was the same so I just shut the console down. I'm happy for people who have that sort of time on their hands, but I don't. I don't mind the occasional long game, particularly as a solo player who has on the rare occasion helped accidentally leave a 3 gen for the killer at the end of the game. I'll own that.

Of the 5 aforementioned games, we did manage to break it twice but that's not the point. I don't care about escaping, I care about my time. In the 2 years I've been playing, I've DC'd exactly twice - both legitimate reasons. I don't care if I get tunnelled or camped or downed first. It's not that deep. But I'd rather not play than be stuck in these dragging games. Congratulations to the folk who have the time for that.

Getting a three gen from the start might have been the Nemesis' only real chance to win. There are multiple Killers that suck at anything but patrolling a small area due to the size of the maps and their low mobility. We'll, that or they can camp and tunnel.

In solo, I've had some luck beating it by bringing a Commodious, BNP, Built To Last, and Potential Energy (or a bit riskier Potential Energy, Stake Out and Hyperfocus with a Commodious and BNP). The only way to bust the three gen strategy is to bring something really good at doing gens and then busting it early. Of course you have to time it well because as soon as Eruption goes off your one chance to get it is done (which is, once again, one of the ways that Eruption hurts solo more than SWF).

If you'd like advice figure out where the three gen is and hammer it early. You'll either break it so the game is winnable or die early so at least you're not stuck in a 45 minute match. Until Eruption gets a rework that's probably your best bet if you don't want to waste time.

I have and seen it in use in my Survivor matches you forgot to add Prove Thyself as well that 10 secs means nothing when you stack everything to speed through gens.....

Hyperfocus is a bad perk if your a player who can't hit skill checks....but there others probably like me...I can hit roughly 60-65% of greats as long as Huntress Lullaby or Doc isn't affecting it

Hey, maybe if enough killers play like this, Deja Vu + Potential Energy becomes meta.

Its annoying when people strictly say it’s the survivors fault it’s not always the survivors fault gen spawns are complete garbage the way they spawn close together sometimes

I forgot about this thread and started my own complaining about this... but it is becoming a genuine issue with Knight in particular. They just set up a 3 gen and camp it and there is nothing you can do when they can constantly regress gens and incapacitate you with Eruption.

I feel like I don't want to play against Knights at all at this point as they all seem to be doing this now

Ask yourself this question: Why did he play that way:?

The answer is probably not something you want to hear. The truth is that DBD maps are far too generous for efficient survivors. Bad players go to a loop and throw the pallet immediately. Good players loop 4-5 times and then throw the pallet. The amazing players loop 4 times then swap tiles and then go back to the first tile after a few more loops on a different tile then throw the pallet to break the killer's bloodlust.

As someone who plays killer and often sees 10,000 hour players I can't blame the guy you played against. My last match of the night was 30 minutes long and even the dead players stayed to watch. I had 4 hooks and there was only one generator left but it was a three gen in the corner of a map and there was literally only two pallets left on the entire map. I had 8 stacks of save the best for last. So you know what I did? I waited for someone to make a mistake. In the meantime I waited for the gens to tick down to nearly 0% progress. Then I would go for a 30-40 second chase hook someone and come right back to find the generator at 90% progress. This cycle repeated several times until someone died because they got greedy.

The survivors had every advantage : they were a 3 man SWF with good items and luck put them on a farm map. Even the 4th player who was a random was highly skilled and was pressuring generators (and did a good job of pressuring me).

"Is this really what the devs and the players want this game to be? A 45 min gen-kicking simulator?"

The longer the game goes on the more it favors the killer. Why? Flashlights run out of batteries, medkits lose the ability to heal you and eventually you run out of skill (what most people call pallets).

Killers do not want to lose the game by trading one hook for three generators.

"it's important we keep having this conversation so the devs understand the gravity of this situation."

You know what made Pop better than CoB, Overcharge and eruption? It was massive instant regression that rewarded the killer for hooking. Gen kick perks can be undone by survivors who touch the generator aggressively after a kick. I use a different build when I play strong SWF players because gen kick perks do not work when people call out which gens to go and harass while I chase someone away.

Ultimately what I'm trying to say here is this:

1) Gens are completed too quickly by efficient players relative to chase times.

2) SWF has too much of an advantage unless you are playing Blight/Nurse.

3) Most of the maps in the game favor survivors.
