One gen left doesn't mean you'll live so what happens last survivor goes down I'll stay away since it's a trap. But guess what soon enough they work together I'm sorry but what was I supposed to do i go down and the killer gets a 4k soloQ i don't care about what my team does by the end since I've learned if your soloQ chances are your dead if you rely on your team and dead if you don't but I've noticed I survivor better alone so by 1 gen I know how the game will go 3 survivors left good fighting chance, 2 survivors left if your extremely good at looping and keeping the killers attention then maybe you'll survivor but if your not which i can tell by how long your lasting chase by the icon then no i know we're not surviving and 1 survivor boom hatch or exit gates. But nope because I didn't want to end up dead because the killer was slugging I'm ending up dead while what's their face lives. This and mainly it happening to me in the past is why I have never giving hatch to a survivor if I'm playing killer you dropped your yellow flashlight cool you have no less flashlight out of your 89 others. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do at this point people have said well rescue them yeah I have guess how that turns out both of us dead.

Note I give hatch to a survivor if they get screwed over by their team.

    Um. I dont think it would be best to let out your frustration as killer due to misfortunes as a survivor. Its not healthy. But i understand where you're coming from. Even i get criticism about the same thing you are going through as survivor. Honestly, dont listen to them. You make the decision that you believe is best. Thats the beauty of dbd. Yes, its a team game, but people tend to forget that there is no right or wrong answer when your numbers as survivors decrease 1 by 1. Just be certain that whatever decision you make, you go for it and stick to it.

    Now if those survivors are ratting you. Yea, been there before. Just have video evidence, report them in game, then send a ticket. They are working with the killer which is against the rules. Period. That will at least ease your mind.

    I think I’m a little confused, are you saying you’re upset that because you didn’t attempt to save the last survivor, and the killer let them wiggle free or stood at the hook until they unhooked, you’re upset they led the killer to you and you died? You said you will stay away if the last person goes down because you want to get hatch. Self-preservation, you want to live. So how is what the survivor that was left to die and then spared by the killer to come find you any different? It’s self-preservation for them, they want to live too. If you don’t make an effort to save them, the killer notices this and goes out of their way to let them wiggle free or unhook, making sure not to kill them, follows them to you, kills you and then gives the other survivor hatch it’s probably because they didn’t like that you left your teammate to die.

    Look you can play however you want. But If you don’t think people should be upset that you won’t try to save them at the end of the match because you want to survive, you shouldn’t be upset that the other survivor will do what they can to survive. It’s a bit hypocritical.

    Working with the killer is a reportable offence. Report them in the endgame screen

    I usually wait for the killer to go away and then get them up, then it's back to sneaking around the map trying to get the last gen done without being caught, rinse repeat. It's very boring :(

    A lot of times I'll just stay on the gen so I can leave, or if they slug me I can do something else irl at least. I'd rather just be hooked so I can play when I (rarely) feel like it.

    Being upset doesn't warrant breaking the rules and working with the killer. It's reportable and will get you temp banned if they go further with the report. People like you who have that mindset is what makes this game toxic as it is already

    While I agree with your overall point, the Survivor shouldn’t team with the killer and lead them to their teammate. They can just go do a gen or open a door if they can.

    The only time I can justify betraying a teammate is if that teammate did nothing for the whole match or actively tried to sabotage the team during the match, but even then, devs have stated working with the killer is a punishable offense.

    Which I don't do since I'm not a Meg main I try to do gens and loop which looping doesn't work to well at times due to well hit validation but I still attempt I mean I do totems while people see it as boring if I notice that the killer is struggling I get a feeling they might have NOED so I'll do minor totem hunting if I see one I'll take care of it.

    I disagree completely. It’s not super common for a killer to do this. Usually they just kill and go next. The fact they went out of their way not to kill the other survivor implies they didn’t feel right about it, the only times I’ve seen a killer do this is because they notice they keep running into the same survivor and not the other, and usually this means the other survivor hid a lot of the game. A survivor cannot help if a killer decides to spare them or play favorites. It’s interesting to me that you think the killer sparing the survivor they want to live is toxic but letting your team bleed out isn’t.

    The only time I’ve ever see a killer go out of their way to spare a survivor when they already had them down is because the killer notices that the other survivor hasn’t done anything throughout the match. Most just kill all 4 and move on but if they’re going out of their way to prevent the death of 1 survivor and down the other, something isn’t adding up. Also a survivor can’t help it if a killer spares them. If the killer picks 1 out of 2 survivors to give hatch that doesn’t mean they were working together with them.

    Okay I'll say this I was for whatever hiding all game not doing gens, entering chase or helping my team or even then just doing a single totem. Then it would be deserved since you do nothing you get punished but I never do that only time I won't do anything is in case of an IRL emergency. But I'll do gens and try being chased when healthy since being injured and entering chase isn't to good of an idea.

    It really doesn't matter if you agree or disagree. Because the facts are laid on the table. The devs have stated their own rules. It may not happen every round, but it does still happen sometimes. And because another survivor is good at hiding which is also part of the game doesn't warrant ratting them out. It's so interesting when killers correlate not finding and chasing a survivor means they are doing NOTHING. They could be really good at doing their objectives, saving and stealth. You can hate the playstyle, but you're still breaking the rules of the game and can get temp banned for it.

    Lastly, I never said it's toxic for a killer to spare someone. It's toxic for a survivor to rat another out rather than completing gens knowing the killer is trying to find the other survivor. Can't report the killer for sparing someone. But you can if a survivor sandbags you

    So I'm trying to understand what you mean. You're saying that under any circumstances it's never okay for a survivor to "rat" on another? Even if that other survivor hides and refuses to particpate in gameplay or help their team so much to the point where multiple killers notice it and refuse to let that one survivor die because they don't feel it deserved? In the original post, they describe the killer as sparing the other survivor specifically to go look for them, and you're saying that the survivor who was left to die shouldn't have done so and should've tried to complete the final gen even though the original poster also didn't work to complete the final gen or attempt to save their dying teammate?

    Some people even consider hiding all game to be a form of taking it hostage, which is also a reportable offense. Does this mean that if they hide all end game it qualifies as holding the game hostage and should be reported? No I don't think so, so long as it wasn't the entire game. Just like I don't feel like the last survivor who was left to die, being spared by the killer who felt it was wrong to let them die shows the killer where their teamate was hiding who refused to help them doesn't qualify as "working with the killer" so long as it didn't happen the entire game.

    Sorry if this is coming across as condescending or aggresive as it isn't meant to be. I think it's just hard for me to empathize with this seemingly selfish mentality of willing to let your team die so you can live but then feel it is undeserved when the person you left to die is spared and is able to survive over you. It doesn't seem like sandbagging more so like revenge.

    No ill will, I hope you have good games and I hope you get teammates who *don't* leave you to die, genuinely, as I feel like that kind of thinking is extremely toxic. I wish you luck in the Fog.

    Ive already gave you my preference and situation on what i deem is not okay when a survivor thats never been chased but did saves, gens etc. But by dbd's standards and their rules, its never okay to rat someone out. Like i said once again, the facts are on the table. Thats their definition and what they act on. Its not just about how I feel and who deserves the hatch/escape. So you cant really make me doubt myself on what im saying and whats the clear message thats literally laid out in dbd's reporting list and whats allowed to be reported.

    And hostage situations. I dont care for. Its why i gave an ultimatum for the survivor who is being wiggled off on purpose to go do a gen knowing the killer is trying to find the other. Cause at that point, both survivors can be reported for hostage by doing nothing by the killer. But if the survivor rats the other, then only one can be reported will be dealt with if given video evidence.

    And it may be hard for you to empathize with someone who is being selfish in the game, but who are you to break the rules and ruin their experience of a horror game because something didnt go your way in a match. I swear this community will never change and tbh i dont expect it to, because of people like you unfortunately. And trust. I never get bitter for a survivor that leaves me to bleed out. Nor do i rat them out which a killer has tried to make me do. It isnt hard to NOT ruin another players experience by breaking the rules. You should try it sometime.

    If you want to play this way, probably not a good idea to play a co-op team game. You talk about not ruining other peole's experience by ratting someone out when they're not making an effort, yet in the same post talk about playing selfishly waiting for the other person to die as if that's not ruining their experience. You admit you're playing selfishly and then complain about the consequences of doing so and about the punishment you recieve. I will reiterate, I'm not trying to attack you personally, even though clearly you don't share the same sentiment. Let's just agree to disagree and move on.
