This Event sucks for killers

I tried to be nice to begin with, but, they forced my hand, so I just slug to win as usual.

If I get salt after, I'll inquire as to why they feel the need to bring 4 toolboxes and all run DS & Boil Over. Then I'll ask if they enjoyed only doing one of the gens.

Hangman's Trick sounds like the answer here. Just run it for the event.

So bring Hangman's trick or just use all the other hooks.

Personally, I just use all the other hooks until they are on deathhook - then I'll use an event hook if available. It really throws them off when you pretend you don't care about the event for the whole game then suddenly hit the event hooks for the deathhook.

Again, can you stop victimizing killers? Killers are the same. Equally as toxic, they camp gens, patrol them hard, put overcharge, ruin, thanatophobia and other stuff.

"Killers are opressed, killers are the purest form of players in the DBD community. REEEEEE"

And like yeah, I guess they have to run something that slows the game down so they can get the hooks, but I've ran into several survivors who were willing to give me hooks in the end, not to mention their cosmetic needs 90 tokens. It still doesn't give you the reason to keep patrolling/camping those gens.

To be fair, Killer see's 4X as many opponents than survivors, so the killer statistically faces more toxic opponents.

That's just fact wither you like it or not.

And patrolling and camping those gens is completely legit.

Well then, saboing hooks is legit too, it's a mechanic in the game.

No but seriously, like yes, they are legit strategies but we're talking about the event. It is completely fine to patrol / camp gens but since we're in an event that requires survivors to do the generators / killers to hook survivors for cosmetics, it'd be nice if everyone dropped their toxicity and be nice.

There is a huge difference between saboing hooks and patrolling generators though. Killers always patrol generators while there is one sabo guy in a match out of 100 normally.

I don't deny that there are killers who are ready to sell the game as long as survivors don't do those 2 event generators. I have seen killers like this. However, for every killer like that, there are 3-4 sabo guys in the matches.

I don't blame survivors for anything though. It is one of the problems of the game rather than being a killer problem. I feel like devs should think about toxicity and adjust their events accordingly. For example, they could have made event hooks immune to sabotage and give survivors another object rather than doing generators.

I've not encountered many issues.

I'm on PS4. I've had a hard time finding games during the daytime, but other than that its been smooth sailing on people being stupid.

I already got my 50 hooks anyways.

Are people just saying stuff to just say stuff? Are we all making up fantasy stories?

I'm sure people play annoying on events, but I don't see any real issue through 50 hooks.

As @Delfador said hooks should be immune to sabo similar to basement hooks and survivors should go after special totmes or something else entirely. There could be special totems that need to be cleansed instead of the gens or you could do either one. They'd each give you the same amount of points up to the max of 5 depending on offerings.

The killer would get a notification when someone started doing a special totem and would know where they're at similar to gens. That way both sides could get points and the totems would give the killer a chance to nail someone doing said totem(s).

I dont struggle when I get downed, so that killers can get to their hooks, and I too run towards those hooks and stand under them if the gens have been done too fast. Sadly, this is when I get facecamped. It wont stop me from trying to be nice, but it is sad how little people care.
I have removed ruin from my build, I regret it a few times, but I usually get atleast 3 of them, which is more than fair because of the amount of points they still get from doing the gens. There are nice people out there, Im just sorry you guys dont seem to encounter them too often. 

(Its like hunting easter eggs in world of warcraft, and a frickin mage blinks to the egg you run towards, haha)

Yeah, okay. Sure.

I installed the game again to play in the event as a survivor and I sacrificed myself to killers by literally stopping under a BBQ hook and pointing at it for them, and they repaid me by patrolling event gens, using overcharge on them, using ruin, and being all around ######### even after my sacrifice.

So cool whatever, I guess it's another situation where killers are just sweet innocent players being griefed & never do anything scummy.

I do the same thing. Try to make sure everyone gets the event gens/hooks. I bought the game at the end of December, and have 32 days in it.. So I am averaging 3.3 hours a day in it and this even is the first time I have wanted to put the game down and just walk away.

Devs you have to do something. These events are supposed to be fun, yet I think it is driving more people away than it is bringing in.

Killers predicted that it´s going to be the same as Howling Grounds and SURPRISE! It´s exactly as Howling Grounds!

Survivors sabotaging and blocking the special hooks, which are surprisingly always at the other end of the map. Unless i equip Agitation and Iron Grip, most of the survivors will wiggle free, when i try to hook them a mile away from where i downed them.

I understand every killer who camps the event gens. I don´t camp neither the gens, nor the hooked survivors. I still get body blocked and sabotaged. Oh and 3-4 DS really bring a lot of joy for the killer!

Haven´t the devs learned from Howling Grounds? Do you really think this is an enjoyable experience for everyone?
Or is it (again) only about the survivors fun?

Took me 2hours30mins to get the 50 hooks. (11 games total)
Only 1 claudette tried to Sabo, and failed miserably.

Oh no, survivors are good at something ,we must nerf it!!

"Just equip these 10 perks to counter the gen rush while still being able to apply pressure and carry people across the map to event hooks"

/s

Yeah devs got our feedback from previous event and nothing changed (surprise). Event was easy peasy for survivors, but its really rough seas for killers out there.

My proposal for the next event: make every gen and hook special. So people can play normal instead of being forced to take 3 perks they usually wouldn't equip.

Hooks shouldn't be subject to sabotage sabotage during events ever. I'm not sure how to make gens special since the killer still needs to damage them for bp and to slow progression some. Perhaps make all gens by default special or add special totems that can be done as well or in lieu of gens.

That´s what i said.

I was simply agreeing with you but also adding to what you said. I'd posted something similar in another thread by a different poster.

I did all 50 chops during one session (as long as I could be in PS4) and I didn't meet any people with sabo.
I did 8 chops with Pig (BBQ and Chilli, Nurse's Calling, Hangman's Trick and Iron Grasp) and 42 with Freddy (No One Escapes Death (For Meme purposes (when survivors where chilling at the exit)), Iron Grasp, Nurse's Calling and Monitor and Abuse).
I noticed with Freddy that many survivors tried to bodyblock the hook but I hooked them like it was nothing.
The only change that I noticed was that more people brought the DS with them even if it was at tier 1.

I've already gotten the Kate thing but I don't own her still rip. I still have like 45 or so offering on 1 survivor and throw them out to help others get bp as well as event stuff. I don't need it the gens but I want others to get some stuff too and I'll offer myself for the bbq hook if killer is cool.

I'll do killer side eventually and try and do same thing there. as well.
