multiple times ive been avoiding a killer to a point i cant move cause they are looking in my area to be caught cause of crows


for instances today


gates were powered and the trickster was legit able to watch both gates with a little bit of running im near a rock near the gate trying to power it without the light yet he keeps coming back


i get caught and killed cause afk crow starting to fly around me


its a great system to have to stop afk survivors but i believe it needs some small tweaks to it cause sometimes your only option is to stealth around while the killer just stays in your area looking for you with NOED on


whats everyones opinion?

    They're fine.

    If you absolutely have to stealth at any point then move between cover

    I do think that the timer for acquiring an AFK crow should be paused while you're within X meters of the killer. I've had it happen once where I was in Hawkins, at the drop-down from the second floor, waiting for an opportunity to go for a rescue while the killer patrolled up and down the corridor below. I got a crow because the killer took so long to go elsewhere. In the end, I still managed the rescue, but I shouldn't have had a crow of stillness just because I was being cautious.

    I think the current system with AFK crows is working pretty well, if you're not moving at all then yes, you're not progressing the game and are most likely AFK as there's no reason not to move in any way for that length of time as you can usually move between various points of cover if you are attempting to evade the killer. It's not meant that you can just stay hidden in one spot indefinitely.
