3 Gen holding game hostage has to be fixed

Title. Don’t say “you 3 genned yourself” because that’s not always the case. Sometimes you have no choice.

Im not saying killer doesn’t deserve a chance or to win.

But survivors can’t do ANYTHING against 3 gen especially against certain killers.

Create some kind of 3 gen busting perk.

OR prevent gens from spawning together like this.

It’s not fair. It’s not fun. Simple as that. There’s nothing to do but die and forfit the match.

Christ this game is a mess.

    Its called potential energy.

    Now that regression is trash, its barley even possible to hold a 3-gen. Well unless its SM who should just get removed anyway. If you use PE you can break it pretty easily, I know the perk is trash and all, but it does counter it!

    Dull merchant holding a 3 gen is still very fun to play against :) She can still easily do it, and obviously that's what most do. Reworked by the way

    This has so much "just take ds to avoid getting tunneled" vibe

    "Create some sort of 3 gen busting perk" - Didn't they already with Vittorio's "Potential Energy"...?

    If that's not good enough, you could always combo it with other perks that also speed up gens: Prove Thyself, Hyper Focus, Fast Track, OR a combo I like is Ace in the Hole and Plunderers.

    There seem to be a ton of perks which can counter 3 gens. Maybe not a single individual one (except Potential Energy).

    Well, unlike DS just pissing the killer off and you getting tunneled even harder, PE when a killer is camping a 3-gen pisses them off and finishes the last gen. Then you just open a gate and leave and the killer isn't tunneling anything.

    The reason you'll never see the perk is bc 3-gens are now easy to break, even in solo, just touch the gen and run away when killer comes back. I've done it like... 4/5 times after this patch?

    Edit: PE does not stop dull merchant from putting you too sleep and ending the 1 hr timer. But thats an issue with her, we need a petition to remove her.

    I don't know how much more can be done. They have completely gutted CoB, Overcharge and Eruption, what else do you want them to do? Also don't say "delete SM & Knight" bc that's not realistically going to happen since the dev team rarely ever go back to a new release killer to make major changes. Like I said what else can they do realistically...

  • egg_

    Realistically obviously nothing. They released two horribly designed killers that the vast majority of the community seems to hate back to back, luckily they're rare because nobody wants to play them either. Those few times we go against them we can either suck it up or just skip the match and go next, that's the only realistic thing we can do

    IDEALLY they'd just delete both of them (and trickster, because this is literally trickster chapter all over again, for the third time)

    I only really get the whole 3 gen thing with Skull Merchant. The ones I get usually take an offering for Grave Of Glenvale and if they don't get it, they'll sulk and DC. Very odd and a very boring gameplay. Devs probably won't do anything though, they'll blame a survivor perk or nerf pig. BHVR logic. 🙂

    No, they'll nerf billy this time. He got toooooo OP!

    I'm thinking autodidact is the next survivor meta perk that needs a gutting tho. Your thoughts?

  • BlueRose
    BlueRose Member Posts: 658

    Well I like SM and Knight and enjoy playing them so that is not ideally for me. Just because ppl want to play her the boring way doesn't mean everyone dones. I seen plenty of streamers find success with chase builds with SM and Knight. I too have a pretty decent win rate with my chase builds. So I don't think they need to be deleted, that a extreme that shouldn't even be suggested. Buffing/rework sure but not deletion.

    I wish they would have kept the regression perks as they were, but put in a mechanic that limited how many times a killer could kick each gen. Perks aren't the way to solve game issues.

    Yeah, there are definitely three types of three gen:

    1. The totally self-inflicted variety, which is kind of a tough shite scenario for survs
    2. The killer half defending a three gen, but generally playing normally
    3. The killer picking a three gen right away and just defending it to the exclusion of all else

    #1 is complete fine, imo. Survs just have to take their medicine, and pay more attention. Similar for #2.

    #3 is facecamp-tier, low skill, trash gameplay. It's your right as a killer to do it, and it's my right to think a whole lot of really impolite things about you doing it.
