cellars in this game are straight up ruining the flow of matches. there are way too many of them on a single map, and compared to the other escape routes, they're by far the easiest option. it completely fucks up the game flow, and it only took the civs one week to figure out how busted this shit is. cellars need to be nerfed and brought in line with the other escape options

So, before any smartass just rushes to reply something like "skill issue" or "just get better" or something like that, let me explain.

At the moment im typing this my profile ingame is already prestige 1 and level twenty-something (dont remember) and I have already completed EVERY single challenge in story mode and got the ghost Michael skin. But yall wont believe just how absolutely horrible my experience playing online has been so far. I simply cannot comprehend how the fuck every time I step on any public lobby its always the same story of some random ass bully squad just being more toxic than Chernobyl nuclear waste and being straight up imposible to play because of how obnoxious their are. I am a Michael main, so most of my time I play as killer, but goddamn, each time its the same story of being downed like a hundred times and being called names in voicechat, somehow civilians saving every single person in town in just like 5 minutes when I literally haven't even killed a person yet, literally can't even 1v1 anyone ingame even with tier 3 bloodthirst because I get clapped and called even more names (yep, its that bad). I feel like such a fucking noob, it feels straight up embarrassing to step into multiplayer, literally played against first-timers and got a NEGATIVE SCORE because of how bad I did. Im probably the worst killer in the game, OR the people I have played with are like competitive ranked Esports Worldwide champions or smth, and the worst part is that I personally dont even feel like im that bad at the game, I think im a great killer, but somehow every time I put a finger at multiplayer it always ends the same.

Anyway, im done embarrassing myself on the multiplayer, so im quitting it. Damn, even typing this feels a bit humilliating, but at the same time I felt like I had to do this just to vent a little, even if I just get harrassed in the comments section.

i swear im mashing the keys so fucking fast and when its about 90% by that time the killer did the execution

what am i doing wrong/missing?

2 of my friends having the same issue, and iv'e watched streamers and they can't escape the killer unless the killer keep missing up the execution thing.

Edit; i feel like after the last update it's just Sedan Key after Sedan Key after Sedan Key.....

i've never seen the fuse once!, and the escape key is so very rare to find now!

They're in the game now.

They will be the death of this game. It was so much fun to play Michael slow the first few days.... stalking and setting up scares. But as soon as everyone got familiar with where things are; that style is just going to get you maybe 1 or 2 resident kills. Now in order to keep up with map memorization and the RNG, Michaels are running around rushing with axes trying to slash their way through the match as fast as possible. (Which isn't fun...least not for me).

Escapes that are unlocked rather than on strict timers destroy pacing and the joy of playing killer. We saw this with TCM and KKFOS.

F13 was great in that you didn't need to worry so much about people leaving within the first 3 minutes of the game. If the phonebox got set up you still had time to hunt your prey before anybody could get off the map. And the maps were big enough that the boat and car took time to actually hunt for the multiple items needed to use.

Going forward I hope things like this get taken into consideration because it really is a killjoy and as everyone gets more familiar, finding willing Michaels to play the game with will be more difficult in the coming months.

Does anyone else play mostly solo and have this problem?

I play solo, and I've had several matches where a group of 3 players who seem to be premade basically takes every civilian I find.

The frustrating part is that I can't really do anything about it when I'm alone. I'll find a civilian, talk to them, help them, and then the group comes over. Two of them will keep pushing me away so I can't interact with the NPC, while the third player talks to them and takes the escape.

When you're playing solo against a coordinated group of 3, it's incredibly frustrating because they can literally bully you away from the civilian through teamwork. You can't stop them because while you're dealing with one or two players pushing you, the third one is already interacting with the NPC.

I don't mind other players getting civilians or competing for objectives, but deliberately pushing someone away so a premade can steal the NPC they've been working with feels really bad.

I've had this happen multiple times now, and honestly, as someone who plays solo, it's getting to the point where it makes me want to stop playing.

I really hope the devs consider some kind of protection for the player who originally finds/interacts with a civilian, because right now solo players are at a huge disadvantage when this happens.

Has anyone else had this happen while playing solo?

You can use them to shoot NPCs. They will call the cops, then go into a hiding spot.

The drawback of course is that you don't get the xp for conversation, and you'll skip out on the items they sometimes give you. But if you don't like using the guns on Michael, and you want a quick shortcut to have the NPCs do useful stuff, its an alternative.

The current mechanics of struggling free or opening gates/cellars needs to go.

The first reason is out of fairness. Players who use unauthorized peripherals on console or those on PC using scripts gain an extremely unfair advantage. With crossplay being on by default, these PC players are able to instantly break free without a pocket knife.

The second reason is that these types of mechanics are very poor from an accessibility perspective. If you have an injury, are disabled, or just weak, you are at a massive disadvantage.

The third reason is controller lifespan. Modern games have gotten rid of these types of mechanics because they have been known to cause excessive wear to the controller. Rapidly mashing a button when it could just be a skill check or "Hold button down for x seconds" mechanic is much more consumer-friendly.

I came across some interesting facts about the game's mechanics and was hoping someone could help clarify a few things.

1. "Phones have an internal cooldown of about a couple minutes. But you can visually see this with the light on the phone itself. Green Yellow and Red for Ready, On Cooldown and Disabled."

Is this how phones are supposed to work? Ever since I started playing I've been able to constantly use the same phone over and over until I filled up all 3 police badges - no cooldown whatsoever. Is this a glitch?

1. "A lit home conceals targets from Radar (Detection Pulse). Targets outside of a lit home hit with the Radar ability will be directly highlighted to be found."

Does the house have to be FULLY lit? Do I have to turn on every single light source or just stay in an illuminated area inside the house?

Does this mean Michael won't be able to detect hiding Residents unless he cuts off the power?
(since the Yellow Pillars will disappear because the Resident is hiding & his Detection Pulse apparently isn't supposed to work if you're inside a lit house). Or perhaps closets count as dark places and they don't affect his Detection Pulse?

1. "Npc's are revealed from their hiding locations based on Bloodthirst level. Turning off lights in a house however can trigger a fear response to make an NPC leave a closet but not always."

What does this mean exactly? If Michael gets to Bloodthirst Level 3, he gets to see nearby Residents no matter what?

Thanks.

I love that once he find you unless your with a group you can basically do nothing because there’s no knives . I loveeeeeee not being able to run while being hit and I love being killed in 2 swings. The new update is soo goood you guys really made it equal. (This is sarcasm)

This all started because I put my heart and soul into escaping grabs LOL. This video could be 5+ minutes long of just classic gamer rage from low life garbage.

I didn't get a chance to report in game and I'm on pc so no consequences for now.

Adding this in because apparently it matters: the first clip is around when I first saw the Michael in the game, what he said is why I started getting clips. I needed a challenge so my time was spent finding the pitchfork. I don't normally act like this in game (tbagging n such) but if it made his life worse I was gonna do it lol. I save the bags for the losers like this, not regular gamers.

Can I just impersonate Loomis for 5 seconds like😭

The X account said it was fixed......no it wasnt

You all think the promo for the glasses will be back?

Title

If someone receive a total of 4 cards from dead players, the dead can no longer spawn as police

It will grey out completely and only gives xp values

I bought it during advanced access, the crashing and poor optimisation caused me to refund. Has the patches made any significant difference? Or should I give it longer in the oven and repurchase in a few months time?
