Why dont people know how to play with cakes or streamers?

I cant count the amount of times I'll see multiple streamers or cakes and end up playing a game that last ten minutes where the highest score is a killer with 15k. Seriously. You safety pip at best and instead of getting an easy 100k everyone gets screwed. I just dont get it.

    Bloodpoints have no relation to rank, and just because you think farming - sorry, acquiring as many points as possible is a goal doesn't mean everyone else agrees.

    Literally nobody said that. I don't get why you're pretending someone did.

    I just run Mori in every game around that time when people use the cakes. Hilarious to Mori one or two people who end up with 500-3k bp.

    that too.

    In the end, it's on you to get what you want out of a game. Worrying about how other people play is just a ######### waste of time.

    Oh, you were doing the same to my posts, I thought that's how this works. Y'know, how you said everyone should play like I say, even though I never mentioned playstyles.

    The emblem system is garbage right now, so rank is meaningless.

    The killer I want already has all his perks and all the addins he needs, so points are meaningless.

    My only purpose is destroy all in front of me regardless of the how.

    You didn't mention specific playstyles in your OP, no, but you did mention playstyles in general. It's right there in your title, where you complain that people "don't know how to play with cakes or streamers". What is a playstyle if not how you play?

    @FrenziedRoach and @Orion Go take a ######### break will ya? You guys are being simpletons and especially rude. OP is not saying that killers or survivors should farm when a cake or a streamer is activated.

    What he's trying to say is that they should play seriously AND be smart about it by doing things that can grants more point for each side without taking away the real meaning of the game.

    This is a response that makes sense. I understand this. Its petty, but I get that too lol

    And I'm saying to stop judging people based on how they play or feeling entitled to people changing their playstyle because you used an offering. If you play like that then good for you. Not everyone will do the same. You're just gonna have to live with it.

  • FrenziedRoach
    FrenziedRoach Member Posts: 2,600

    And we're saying he shouldn't expect that.

    If you don't like that, it's not my problem.

    Lol I don't even pay attention to what offerings are played most of the time. If I put on a BP offering so what? Doesn't mean that I am gonna go any easier on the killer/survivors. Or play different for that matter.

    'Farming' mentality is kinda encouraged by the emblems, frankly, and not recognizing that is for the weak :P Juggling survivors like a competent killer and optimizing personal gain kinda pushes one toward behaviours similar to farming, even if it's not actively letting things happen in the way people typically associate with farming.

    @NurseMainBTW @semaj_leachim Ipraise you both and I do the same, I try my best to get as many BP as possible when streamers or cakes are played, not everyone is a jerk :)

    Just keep playing fair, there's no need to be toxic


  • FrenziedRoach

    If the emblems actually worked like they should be, I'd agree with you. But right now, a killer could 4k, which is arguably a win, and still not rank up.

    This is total and complete bullshit.

    so until that's addressed, the Emblem system is a complete and utter joke that can be safely ignored.

    I play the game.

    I don't care about your bloodpoint offerings, or anyone else's.

    Because I was taught to NOT play with my food?

    Changing the way you play the game because of BP offerings ruin the fun for me in some scenarios.

    Sure, I may be a bit more altruistic as survivor, and I don't slug as much as killer, but you can't ask people to change the way they play too much because of offerings.

    Not everyone has the same goals as you in the game.

    i just play the game normally

    farming is boring

    i don't go extra hard because these items are in the game or anything

  • Detective_Jonathan

    ^ = everyone plays super immersed rather than bp farm 400k+ on 2x bp event

    Because /logic ftw

    farming is fair for me if survivors used streamers

    i also farming when i used mori, if survivors used streamers and wants to farm bp

    cause bp is more essential for killers and its main objective for killers

  • prettyf

    i don't kill them when my other points are full but sacrifice

    If I am correct isn't farming not only bannable but you also get your progress reset?

    I mean maybe we should add that 'link account' feature to the site. It would be like openly admitting to murder in the police station with how many people suggest farming during these offerings.

    I put up a cake while trying to learn/level ghostface (mostly tier 1 perks and overcharge is one of my best if that says anything...) the other day and got the temple/plague map with a SWF group (who had put up 2 event cakes and one escape cake)... I got gen rushed so hard they actually mistakenly 3 gen themselves (near the temple too so I stalked from the window/hills etc) and I destroyed them relentlessly. I was going to just 2 hook everyone and let them go because 3 cakes but they were rushing, ripping off hooks as soon as I turned my back, had one follow me around to try to break my stealth as soon as I used it a few times... I just couldn't bother playing friendly killer anymore and capitalised on every mistake, most died in the basement and it was a full 4k with no gens left.

    Seems like all these offerings get is everyone going full on at the gens with toolboxes despite gens giving far less bp than any other action a survivor can do in a match. It's annoying but if they want to play sweaty I can do the same as killer and this is coming from someone who plays survivor 70% of the time. Killers do the same too, most will hard tunnel/camp despite it giving less points. It's not hard to see why most above agree that using escape cakes and puddings are the better option.

    They shouldn't be expected to farm (I much prefer a normal match farming is boring and most don't know when to stop so I avoid it), and everyone can play how they want (some just want to watch the world burn) but I completely understand the frustration in how it feels like a very different match compared to a normal points/one bps/cake offering match.

    Pretty sure generic farming isn't bannable if all parties agree/participate, only bans if it's griefing (i.e. 2 work with killer to farm the others etc.) It's a grey zone, not advised but not really punished.

    Farming is boring as #########, though.

  • Maelstrom10

    I only farm when i go in with the mentality to farm, ie friends and i will all take BT and WGLF and farm each other etc. or i'll just name myself farm me and meme the whole game until the killer takes pity on me. or i'll run padded trapper/only bloodpoint perks on killer with the intent to farm

    otherwise if i see that many cakes/streamers you've basically just ensured your death/survival depending on what team your on. i only ever farm with intent, otherwise im going to play super tryhard in order to max out my points. if someones having a particularly bad game, i'll give em hatch, or sacrafice myself for them etc but even still.

    I take bloodpoint offerings as a challenge for the most part

    But that's the thing. I'm not talking let survivors finish all the gems or for survivors to hook camp, I'm saying play the game while recognizing you progress better by hooking, going after someone else, and then hooking again. You get more points for long chases, staying away from the hook and total hits. I can play a game with no kills and all escape and still safety pip and make out like a bandit. On top of that, everyone gets to play a full game and enjoy themselves. People are talking like I'm saying let's hold hands and Kum by yah or something. I'm saying dont at like a dick and waste people using something that helps EVERYONE in the match. If you wanna be toxic, fine, just means you arent fun to play with and probably take the game way too seriously.

    If I dont mention specific playstyles then I'm not talking playstyles. By your definition hitting start is a playstyle.

    I don't like playing during events. Brings out all the campers and tunnelers as well as the toxic survivors and horrendous wait times in que because all the people playing killer due to the fact the survivor role sucks and does not give enough bp.

  • semaj_leachim

    Since the hotfix finding a match as a killer has been fixed, on the ps4 for me at least. I just played survivor and did what I could. As a survivor, getting BP comes down to luck. If you're not the first one found you'll do alright. If you're first and have horrible teammates you could be done quickly. Easiest way to get bp as a survivor for me has been cleansing, gens, sabotaging hooks and trying to start and end chases with the killer as much as possible. I'm not great at loop9ng so I have to try and lose them as quick as I can. Even without doing a lot of objectives, interacting with the killer can bring them up nicely.
