Keep the new AFK System
The new AFK crow system is one of the greatest changes they made in years. Encouraging people to do objectives, without punishing stealth. I played against and with decent to good Survivors, watched twitch streamers and youtubers, and have yet to see anyone get crows.
I did my own testing back on PTB ( https://youtu.be/hIdxt2TvSk8 ) and found the time frames to be extremely generous.
And to everyone who thinks you get crows too fast: Please feel free to show me footage of the situation with context. Maybe you found something I didn't test for.

There might be some cases where it needs to be slowed down. I would say that if killer has three token Devour you could give the survivors a little bit more time before crows spawn as usually on that point they try to find the Hex so they don't insta killed if found.

I've ran into a match where the killer allowed a Sable live but was purposely hunting me, and I was the 2nd to last Survivor, I was hiding in a locker, got crows bc the killers was camping the gen I was trying to work on, situations like this, needs to. Have a exception in some way

- Pretty sure you would have gotten crows there with the old AFK system too.
- What exactly do you want the game to do? If you make it so crows can't spawn in at all while the killer is nearby, then it makes the last two Survivors execisively hiding a problem again.

I do think the AFK crows are a little overtuned. I saw someone say that while Thrill of the Hunt was active someone got crows trying to clense a . I personally got crows when going from one side of the map to the other to switch the gen I was working on and then having to hide for a moment in order to not be seen by the killer who was hooking and then kicking the gen I was going to work on. It's a nice addition but I think needs a few tweaks yet.

Just saying that unfair killer behavior should have some exception to afk crows, idk how, but there should definitely be something in places, so unfair behavior like this can't screw over one person, like for example, if the killer is nearby for a certain period of time, while a Survivor is hiding in a locker, the crows won't give them away, therefore somewhat causing the killer to leave, and give the Survivor space, bc 1 Survivor can do nothing but hide like the situation I was in, something has to be in place for it but that's just what I think

Curious question, 🙋🏼♂️
Why not go to a different Gen? Most survivors would just pressure a different one if this is happening… unless if y’all 3 genned then of course that’s on the survivors.

That's the thing, I couldn't, there was only 3 gens to choose, 2 of which in very close proximity of eachother that the Sable was doing & I was cornered into a locker bc the killer wouldn't leave the gen I was working on beforr, which was away from the other 2 ;-; so I was quite literally trapped completely regardless if I moved to a different gen or not

Please don't.

I get that for sure, but if he is concerned about that Gen and Sable why not just pop out real fast to make a run for it. Go to the gen thats on the other side so sable can do the gen he was camping.
He can only go after one of you at a time.

Why not? Can you show me footage of it being too harsh?

That's what got me killed, if I stayed, I would have been killed sooner bc of the crows, if I ran, (which I did) I would have been caught eventually (which happened) & got killed

Sounds like one of you was dying regardless is my point. It was either you or the sable. In this case. It was you. Regardless as well, the devs will adjust the system. They are trying to see what works and what doesn't.
