New trend incomming?

So... After being disgusted with playing survivor role (for a lot of reason) and only playing killer, I give a new try to play survivor aaaaaand...

How explain what happen for my first match...I got a Blight, who kill two other survivor pretty quickly (nothing anormal) and after some looping, I got down, and he let me on the ground (slugging) for the last survivor

But! He don't attack him, just sticking him really hard or motioning him to go in my direction (nothing anomrla again, a gentle killer can happen, and become nice sometimes) but, each times, the other survivor heal me, he was humping him in the face and hit me immediatly when I got healed

And that for several minutes, the times I bleed out, I try sometimes to avoid his hit and running where I can (that's not simple where you are at a dead zone) and each times, it was the same scenario who happen

Being greeted like that when you got disgusted by some behavior from other survivor or killer... Are a little "harch"?

It's when this kind of thing happen, i'm ok for the dev to add some button for bleed out instantly... and, can someone say to me if this kind of "action" is "normal"? Like, it's ok with the guideline of the game? Or I can report him?

    I kind of see the picture but what did he do to the last survivor in the end? Did you heal him after he was smacked?

    Sometimes players have an idea and it's hard to get what they want.

    These last four years, I had only a handful of bad experiences as survivor. The worst IMHO was from sandbagging survivors who then got joined by the killer in blocking me. They got thoroughly reported to BHVR with a movie showing it all.

    Killers being annoying without any apparent reasons? I got a couple. Not an issue.

    When all is said and done, survivors are the reason I don't enjoy playing (solo) survivor so much.

    I was the survivor who get repeteadly "smacked" like you said, so the one who bleed out after the... 20 hit in a row

    The other guy who healed me again and again, was never slapped , except when I bleed out, he got hit and hooked

    But the killer seems to enjoy doing that, he never wave his head or whatever, just raise his head as if he were "happy"

    Everyone was dead at the end

    Players keep inventing new ways of BM knowing well they wont get punished for it

    I'm afraid that's not a new trend, although I admit this particular flavor of BMing is pretty rare.

    If you have a recording of the game, probably. Killers and survivors can't work together against other survivors. It's also against the rules to hold a player in the game for an indefinite period of time.

    My bad luck give me a problem with my computer, so I don't have anymore the recording system from Nvidia, next time I play, I gota be prepared, but thank's for the clarification

    What BM mean?

    It was... Particuliar

    Didn’t a dev recently comment something about the mountain of evidence it takes to prove that a killer and a survivor were working together? Like just because a survivor leads a killer to another survivor, that doesn’t prove intent (they were working together, it was deliberate/griefing, etc) which is why it seems that people are almost never punished for doing it. I know Peanits said that slugging and even repeatedly slugging the same person isn’t a rule violation because survivors eventually bleed out. So they can’t really be held indefinitely by that.

    Bming - Bad manners. Its being rude to the other play.


    Indeed. Basically, there is no reporting. Bhvr has things set up so you can report, they look good from a PR view since they say 'You can report'.

    But you need that evidence which is a good thing. You get that evidence, and they watch the same thing you do, and then tell you you're view is incorrect.

    So, reporting is a literal waste of any human's time in this game. If you get crap like this, just go next. Its really the most efficient option as set up by BHVR.

    My understanding of the complaints system, unless it is something that happened in chat (i.e. racism), without a recording there's really no chance on the complaint front.

    On the mountain of evidence: It's why I originally mentioned a recording as that seems to be a necessity.

    I remember the @Peanits comment you mentioned (I think it is this one), I've also seen @Mandy talk about some of these issues, my understanding:

    A survivor leading a killer to another survivor is not against the rules. Even intentionally sabotaging another survivor is not (exception for body blocking in a corner).

    A killer doesn't have to kill. If the killer just suddenly decides to stop playing, its fine (e.g. you can't ban a killer for letting a player go).

    However, if the killer and survivor work together to farm/eliminate a survivor, that's against the rules. One of the few reports I've heard of being successful is recordings of survivors leading killers to a location and pointing at a locker while the killer ignores the pointer. In that instance you have all the characters on screen and can see the interactions, intent doesn't matter in a case like that, because the action itself is what's against the rules.

    Presuming everything in the OP's comment is exactly as mentioned, this seems to be a case. The other survivor picked him up on multiple occasions, at no point did the killer try to injure the survivor doing the picking, nor did they even move away from that location, demonstrating both working together (no attempt to hit one survivor) and griefing (forcibly keeping a player in position).

    It would really depend on the video.

    Not new, but reportable. Reporting does work (not reliably) but it does work and it's better to make a report with evidence and try it, rather than not do it and let them go scott-free.
