A very minor EGC idea
Everyone knows the tactic of 99ing gates to prevent the trigger, giving the killer no real pressure to force players out. What do you think if the exit gates' progression were very slowly regressed overtime similar to how a damaged generator regressed?

That would also mean more pressure for the killer since that means at least 1 survivor is doing nothing but sitting by a gate. That would go poorly if the killer hooks all but that player in EGC.

Actually, that's an incredible idea!

I suggested the EGC starts when the last generator is completed, but it moves at 50% the speed until an Exit Gate is opened.
The meter will appear white, indicating an Exit Gate hasn't been opened yet.

You can just open the gate yourself. This change would be unnecessary.

Someone already suggested this not very long ago. Peanits commented on the thread and basically said that would not be favorable to the survivors.
Specifically solos.
Mentioned somethinf about 1 survivor would basically have to hold gate open while 2 try to rescue off hooks or slugged etc. (No problem for SWF) the same cannot be said for solos.
Also said that at that point if youve allowed the survivors to 99 a gate. Youve basically lost and didn't accomplish your objective.
Im heavily paraphrasing so do not quote me. If i had the energy id seach for the post but i don't. But prettt sure thats the jist of it without more content as to how that conversation went.

While I'm not against the EGC starting immediately after the last gen (assuming that it also lasts longer than it does now during that time), the Killer can open the door himself if and when this is an issue, and having it regress would cause more problems than it solves.

Blood warden is a great perk.

it doesn't work if they 99% it

I dont think what the guy wants is to open the door himself , he just doesnt think its right for survivors to be able to 99 doors and come back for a teammate and then take hits and escape with just a tap on the door .

The EGC was designed to stop the game from going on forever. Its not designed specifically to give you kills - just to encourage the survivors to leave when the game has finished.

Down the person, open the gate yourself and then hook them. Boom! Profit!

that doesnt always work , if it's a decent team they'll probably already be near the injured survivor when you down them and will most likely heal them while you're walking to the gate or they'll take a few hits for them so they can make it to the gate. ( I see it happen all the time )

why tho? Why not as soon as the last gen pops? Or why not from when the game loads in at the start but for a longer time? /s
EGC isnt supposed to help give you handy kills! Its just supposed to get the survivors to leave eventually!

If they're running around breaking pallets then it can only help you get more bloodpoints.
If you want the game to end faster - open the gate yourself - it'll be over in 2 mins!
Even "toxic" SWFs who 99 the gate will open it shortly after going for the save. It really doesnt drag out that long. Worst case scenario it gives you a chance at more downs/kills.

Open the exit Gate yourself

This.
EGC already sucks.

Honestly? Prefer this. As this would make that EGC Challenge in Tome 4 more possible.
