Playing Nice is Painful

I think an option to force all remaining living survivors to escape without having to go to the gates would be better. That way it wouldn't affect regular gameplay.

Same could be done to prevent bleedouts, if you're on the floor for too long you can press a button to die.

As someone that plays SoloQ I would absolutely be overjoyed to see someone with a semblance of empathy playing on the other side. Couple of weeks ago I went up against a Clown that didn't tunnel me off the hook in the endgame, even though he could have very easily secured himself a 1K. Expressed my gratitude in endgame chat, but he said nothing. Wish the best for the person!

I regularly play nice as Killer and even when I deliberately avoid going for the death hook survivor where I could easily get them out, they'll still teabag at the gate. Really frustrating. The only time I ever get nice survivors is if I give them hatch or if someone DCs early on and I hit the gens letting them know that they can leave after getting 2 hooked.

I play both sides equally, and I play they way I would appreciate if I were on the other side. Not babied or anything, just with some degree of consideration.

MMR is a joke and the game isn't fairly balanced for either side, and that should be taken into account.

But that's just me, I don't find being absolutely merciless to be fun. The game isn't fine tuned enough for me to just go balls out all the time and not feel a little bad about it sometimes.

Yeah many survivors are literal douches. Once, I even got teabagged by the person I gave hatch to. I don't have any explanation, I think some just have such a low IQ that they don't even realize that you played nice.

However, most of my survivors are not like this, they behave cute in-game or in chat, sometimes give me their item. Which leads me to often give hatch.

From my experience killer players are A LOT more toxic than survivors, and I'd say the killer role also has a lot more potential to be toxic with things like slugging/3-gen merchants etc. It doesn't excuse the toxicity on either side, though.

It maaaaybe painful when you're losing, but much more satisfying when you 4k-ing without using such tactics.=)

I do a slow t bag which is saying thank you when given hatch. It's hard to communicate in this game apart from end game chat.

Yeah t bag isn't always a bad thing. Given that most of the time it's toxic though.

If we cause enough of a riot can we get this base kit?

More often than not they are. The problem is the negative experiences stick in the memory.

As an example, the last 4 games I played as survivor resulted in me escaping 3 times and 2 of those times were really enjoyable, tough and no BMing. However, the one which sticks in my mind is the one I lost where Nemesis repeatedly beat me amd camped the hook. That stands out way more, but clearly it is not representative of my 4 trials as a whole.

Play the game you want in the way you feel good about. Keep track of trials where survivors were nice and those where they weren't, as well as objectively review how you played. You may surprise yourself.

Would be great if Survivors messed around too long in the exit gate area, the Entity's pull would get stronger and stronger. Survivors would get slowly pulled back into the trial. The inside of the exit gates become a vacuum and if you stay too long, say towards the last 1/4 of the timer, you physically can't escape as the pull is too great. Anything to make it where the Survivors don't feel so safe at the end..

Try to match your opponents in the way that they play, it's a skill, and sometimes you're gonna guess hard and go way too hard/easy but it's seriously improved the enjoyment of my matches.

Just turn off endgame chat. Why is it even still in the game? All it does is promote toxicity. It literally doesn't exist on console, and most console players I see are actually pretty nice.

Had a rough game as Billy during the Masquerade event where I wanted to get the 4k in one trial challenge done, and two of the survivors even remained to give me free kills and then offered to help me if they get me again.

Well, speaking as someone who used to have a lot of rage issues with games when I was younger, I want to offer a little advise to help... this is a classic problem with text based communication. You can't put intination and tone on a text, so your intent is left to the reader to interpret. Thats why emoji's exist.

The reason you get this response is if this person just got absolutely whooped, they are already feeling pretty negative. Nice killers don't want to play dirty tactics, but they also don't want to lose. They want the game to be close and put up a good fight... but after a tanning they're already in the challenging position of taking stock of just getting rinsed.

You say "GG WP" at that point, their mindset at that time is "no it wasn't a good game, I got smashed, it wasn't even close... you must be taking the piss, so screw you".

Though it isn't your job to deal wirh their feelings, if you want a less hostile response, try leading with something a little empathetic to soften it first, like "ul killer, thnx for the game! gg wp all!".

You will still get hostile responses, when tempers flare, they flare, and toxic people will always be toxic, but little gestures like this will mitigate it somewhat for you.

If they continue to be angry, you can follow up with something like "don't sweat it man, I know that game was rough, but try not let it get to you. Good luck on next!". A little gesture like that could make a big difference to someone's day... and if they're still sulking after that, you're subtly pointing out that they are being the #########. So win win.
