Gens.... What is the point anymore?

Think about it this way. Let's say we all agree with you, so we all stop working on generators and just go immersed until we can get the hatch.

Tell me, what is the winrate for survivor with this tactic assuming it works every time (not a good assumption).

The answer is 25%. Since if everyone is using that strategy then 3 people die per game, which means you could be one of those 3 giving you poor odds of even being able to attempt a hatch escape.

Instead compare that to the strategy of gen rush. When it's pulled off all 4 survivors escape for a winrate of 100%. Since no one has to die and thus you don't have to die.

Of course both of these winrates are higher than they actually would be in the event that the strategy fails one game. However either way, gen rush simply ought to give you a higher success rate than stalling for the hatch would.

In otherwords, there is a completely selfish reason to want to complete all 5 generators.

@Pike_Trickfoot both of those situations aren't relevant.

Either they aren't playing to win (getting everyone killed) and thus incentives don't matter.

Or

They are in one of a few exceptional situations where the alternative is death. In which case they should still have been doing gens up until that point.

Someone who just plays for the hatch is someone I will identify fast and will dodge every time I see them as a survivor, because that game will be a waste of time. Other survivors who are good, will do the same then you can be left playing with just the potatoes forever more.

The longer other survivors survive, the better chance I have to survive. Leaving it up to luck with no gens done, then hoping I can find the hatch is a failure to me. I may escape, but it won't feel like a win, nor should it. The real challenge is dragging the other survivors, kicking and screaming if need be, to victory.

That really has not changed much with the loss of having to do two gens minimum for hatch. Two gens was usually not a challenge anyway and they could not carry that over to EGC, because well...if no hatch appears with last survivor, no way to start EGC = potential hostage situation all over. I'm even begrudgingly impressed that they even thought of that possibility. But if you serve as distracting the killer anyway without even touching a gen, that is still helping - long as you aren't getting downed every 5 seconds.

As a Killer main I see a lot of jaded survivors out there that don't work towards the team goals. But that goes away once you are in the higher ranks and the survivors get higher quality. That doesn't mean that sometimes you just don't want to screw around. We all do that. I play Freddy with overcharge sometimes just to confuse people.

You get 2 types of survivors in the low ranks (12-20).

1. Those that are just inexperienced, learning and enjoying. We need these guys/gals to be able to enjoy the game long term. 2. Those that have been around a long time, have burned out on the sweaty nature of the High ranks (1-5) and are now just screwing around in the low ranks to pester and bully. These players are good enough to take care of themselves and wait for the newer players to die so they can take the hatch.

Both types are necessary to keep the game alive. it is just that the second type of survivor makes it a lot harder on the newer players because they don't participate and help those newer members succeed and learn as efficiently as they could.

The worst survivors are the ones that get mad if you put them into dying state in the first minute of the match and DC. These are the ones that really make it hard on the rest of the team to get things accomplished. But that is another topic.

Oh yeah, that gets me plenty of time, as I am the one looping drom the killer for 5 minutes now and not a single gen was done thanks to players like you.

I've had a match with the crap team such as yourself and as a solo survivor I felt I was the only one doing the job, which automatically means failure in an assymentric game. Quite frankly, i feel that players like you should eff themselves.

I pity the fool who plays like you. I PITY THE FOOL!

I'd very much like to rank up, but thanks to the infinite world of Dead by Bugs I only get an error message instead of ranking up.

But yes, I'm actually not a fan of horror games and was only sucked into DbD, because that was a thing to do with my friends, who live on the other side of the world. So yes, I was priviledged to play with not only skilled players, but also good people. I've seen kind and caring people as both survs and killers, but I've also seen toxic ######### and selfish fricks like you, sir. You don`t even think about the fact, that there ain't a game mode, where one survivor plays against one killer: nope, there are 4 survivors needed to have a chance at a fair game. So I really wish I never get you as a teammate and instead you get all the dipshits, who bodyblocks other survs and reveals their location to the killer. You deserve it.

Mr T out.

So first you say that all you care about are bloodpoints, now you're saying that working gens is pointless because you only get bloodpoints?? It just seems to me that you don't enjoy this game anymore but you still try to play it all the time.. maybe you really should play other games that give you joy if this doesn't do it for you anymore
