Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Rollback the Go-Next / AFK system and start again

The updates and penalties are just too extreme. It might be a good idea to walk this back and slowly try implementing some of the elements. The AFK stuff is way to aggressive and equating AFK to a disconnect is a complete joke. This update has made the game unplayable.

    My thoughts on Go next prevention and on AFK crows system is they are way over done. All that needd to happen for go next was reduce the chance to try for 4% to one attempt, and stop the second hook skill check kill until end game. The DC penalty should only have been changed to the removal of 1 point every 2 days as it was every day. AFK crows should have only removed collision and the removal of pickup and drop of item counter to crows.

    Luck offerings should be reworked to affect items in chests, gate spawns or somthing.

    I just read they're adjusting the AFK system next week. I didnt save the info (I'm sure someone will share it) but it sounded promising

    Still the DC Penalty for getting Crows is ridiculous. Just entirely too many ways to accrue "naughty" points towards a perma-ban. I'm afraid to play in case I rack up too many "demerits".

    This update also brought in immense amount of cheaters. I played four Surv matches so far and all four times I had Surv teammates that were cheating, like zooming across the map and preventing Killer from picking them up. I play Killer and it's the same thing, I'm watching Survs go invisible, start running as if they have sprint burst x3 and straight up disappear after vaulting.

    The game is pretty volatile rn.
