Share your "OPEN THE DAMN GATE!!!!" stories!
...and the reason why gates need to regress.
Let me paint the scenario.
Playing vs. a Doctor, manage to loop him for minutes on end, Haunted by Daylight event is coming in clutch and giving some pretty useful tools to buy time, I eventually vanish in the void. 4 gens complete, 1 hook on David, I'm injured my gen is about 12% from done, but our David gets his second hook.
I know Merciless is coming, I won't finish in time, so I pre-run, but I'm caught in a dead zone. I get hooked but I managed to secure enough time for my team to save David and finish my gen. I get unhooked while Doctor tries to defend it and I slip off into the void. Sadly no charges for a void crystal, but we're well clear.
Sadly in the scramble David gets found and gets down to be sacrificed. Everyone is injured, David gets hooked and dies, but we've got time in spades. Mikhaela 99s the gate... "why?" I think... "just open it... no one is in chase or in danger, just open it". No dice, she is stood in my way and wants to be healed. Frustrated, I start healing. Give the baby its bottle.
40% fine, 60% fine, 80% fine, 90% and Doctors big TR hits us… "not even close... please break this heal and open the gate Mikaela"... nope... 98%, Doctor shocks us, she can't body block as she is still injured, runs past me... can't open the gate, get slapped into the dirt as Mikhaela runs.
I get thrown on hook Doctor surprisingly doesn't camp me and starts chasing the Mikhaela, our Sable is coming after 99ing her own gate on her own side, but Mikaela decides inatead of luring Dovtor away, to instead makes a break to unhook me, Doctor in toe... not fast enough... gets slapped down under hook, me still stuck.
Sable tries to stay hidden, but no deal, gets sniffed out, tries to loop Doctor to get the unhook, makes a dash for it, again too slow, gets slugged under the hook. I sit still... stuck there in disbelief… just like that 1k becomes a 4k.
For the love of God Solo Q... every damned time... just... open... gates...
You are not smart enough to play gates properly... 2 - 4 minutes is plenty... stop 99ing gates, you can't do it... I know you won't, so please... for the sake of my sanity BHVR, please start regressing gates when Survivors let go...
I can't watch another stupid gate fumble 😭😭😭😭

Proving the real problem with solo q is the survivor players making the dumbest plays and snowballing the game.

Appreciate it... I was ranting into the wee hours of the morning on that one... 🤣🤣🤣
I don't usually rage post... but damn... It wasn't even a Doctor shock to prevent the unhook... he caught both of them with raw m1s. I had to take 2 slugs of liquor to calm down enough to go to sleep xD

So.... the reason why solo Q is so bad is because there is a high chance of getting a teammate that left his brain at the campfire.

Bro… lol. This game is in no way important enough to cause one to drink themselves to sleep lol. BUT! I do understand. I can't play Solo'q without smoking a bowl or two first. Then Im ready for anything lol. The game is a lot more hilarious.

I like to think of it more of a double, overly generous nightcap xD
The evwnt is pretty fun though, but be that as it may, the real leason is "don't play video games past midnight...", you get far, far too wired to sleep afterwards xD

I'm changing the title to something more fun xD
But I would still like to see gate regression 🤣

I had a similar situation as you but with Blood Warden as a cherry on top.
I also looped the killer pretty long and after all gens are completed, I run injured, with the killer still behind me, to a gate which is 99ed (the other one was far away and half way done). A Claudette just waits in front of the switch and doesn't tank a hit, doesn't move or opens the gate when she sees me with the killer coming. I get downed, then she opens the gate, we get Blood Warden and a 0k becomes a 4k.
That Claudette said in chat that she didn't open the gate because I "did not do enough gens".

I remember having weird dreams after I played Skyrim for the first time and got hooked for 8hrs.

The killer was also furious with Claudette in the end lol.

Not sure if this story fits but we like story time~ A Slinger game awhile ago to reminded us to never trust randoms with the doors.
So everyone is tense, 4 gens done and something like 6-7 hooks. I see slinger coming to nea and me on the gen and both of us are determined to pop it. Well nea got shot and I pop it and to my shock neas downed with noed. I run like the chicken I am (I was on death hook, don't judge) as he leaves her there and starts taking shots at me.
As I'm running to a door with slinger obviously in tow I see hope in yun jin sitting at a lit door. I'm then hit with the question of why is it not open when they SEE me running from death but it ultimately doesn't matter as in a bit slinger drops me and shoots the one at the door and gets a down.
On the hook they go and he comes back to me, who only knows where the one door is. The good news is that nea is up, bad news is that we ran by her and dweet and dweet goes down. Dweet dies on the hook im running with nea to yuns hook. Trusting one of us can open that door I don't split and finally got shot for my trouble. I can only shake my head in exasperation as I watch nea attempt to save instead.

I had a Nancy try to heal me at the gate while Myers downed Nea right at the exit gate, me pointing at the gate, her spinning circles at said gate, and me having to open the gate with us almost dying.
Here is a clip if anyone is interested - I was duo SWFing with a friend.

That video gave me flashbacks to my Doctor game xD

Lmao, Doctor is rough as he can cancel the door being opened. 😂
That's insane that all of that happened during your game with Doctor, however. 😭 Was Sable working on her own door during the time Mikaela was 99ing hers? Definitely could have managed to open the door, especially if Sable was on the other end and it was being shown on the hud. Luckily mine was a 2k and not a 3k-4k lol.

Ye Sable was slightly behind me and Mikaela. The timing would have been perfect for all of us to escape. Can't fault the Sable at all...
Be wary of SoloQ

Yeah, solo-queue is rough sometimes. 😭
I get it and it sucks that everyone died during your game. I must say, however - I don't die much to the whole, "Just open the gate" 😂. I do appreciate the topic and everyone sharing their stories though.
