possibility of a system for teammates to see if a survivor can unhook themselves?
Hi there! In a recent Reddit Q&A, the devs said it would take years for survivors to see their teammates' perks in the lobby, which I won't question or get upset at. I'm sure the devs are working the best they can with the limitations of the current code and engine, but would it be just as difficult to implement a system in which survivors can see the hooked icon glow yellow or something if the hooked survivor can unhook themselves? I feel bad for solo players who stop working on gens to run to save a teammate who has Deliverance, Wicked, or the anti-facecamp at 100% and risk running into the killer. Just curious, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A glowing hook icon would be neat. And it wouldn't add anymore visual clutter to the HUD either!

Well, first of all it's not ok for such feature to "take years" to be implemented and it's been in mobile version for years now. And as for the "hooked icon glow" feature it's not gonna help (well at least for the anti-camp) as people will still run to the hook not knowing if killer is camping preventing the meter to fill. It should create the same meter as for the hooked survivor in HUD, this will help cuz SWF already have all of this info for free why should solo's struggle? And for perks like Deliverance / Wicked hook glow could work or some sort of icon / sign that survivor can unhook himself.

I think the perk showing feature isn’t literally taking years to implement, but they don’t necessarily want to implement it as it would result in people dodging others due to equipped perks (like.. I would also consider dodging people with No Mither or Weaving Spiders…)
something for the hooked surv to indicate unhooking would be great and also another good feature to bridge the gap between solos and SWF. Should have been here with action icons tbh.1 -
I feel like those kinds of people would dodge or give up anyway the moment something goes wrong. Honestly, if I'm solo and I wanna use some off-meta stuff I'd rather wait a little longer to have survivors that are willing to work with me or don't care about my perks instead of those guys but thats just my 2 cents.

Put the AFC gauge on the HUD next to the hooked survivors portrait. Show exactly how far along they are from being able to unhook themselves.
Change Deliverance/Wicked to immediately fill the AFC gauge. Then Deliverance/Wicked is telegraphed.
Also serves as a proxy for 'basekit Kindred' without the added info of auras.
