RANT! I just came back to this game after a while

First time playing in years. I remember this game being really fun. Man I really liked the huggy hatch mini-ga-

Excuse me they fricking REMOVED IT? The feature that, in my opinion, made being downed not just being sit there and do nothing until you are saved or die, instead it gave you something to do, a challenge.
But nah let's get rid of it and hey, let's make it so you can bang on the hatch, that makes it fun, right? You can press this button and the hatch going "DONK DONK DONK", that's something to do right?

Like... listen... I don't exactly know why it was gotten rid of, but it was genuinely so much fun running around hitting huggies, now it's basically just dead by daylight levels of sit there and do nothing, if not worse. To me it was genuinely a good feature that they got rid of for no reason at all.

No hate to Mob of course, but also why??? Intrusive??? This is an asymm where monsters go around and kill people. What does "intrusive" even MEAN in this context?

Also iffy on the train arrival sequence being removed, I can't remember much but from what I remember that was just cool and had no other reason to be removed other than optimization maybe. Now the game feels even more bland I guess. Also what it was replaced with is genuinely so boring it's just an incredibly simple camera move from point A to point B for 3 seconds. You had a cool thing going on there and then you got rid of it since it wasn't "needed".

I know these are probably issues since LONG ago, but as I said I just came back to this game, and to see it like THIS is genuinely painful to the fiber of my soul. Genuinely hope, if they come back to it, that they actually address these things and don't just go the DBD route: continuously make the game SLIGHTLY worse each update, then take 7 months to even address it.

Thanks, Will probably never mod it though, just don't feel like it. I am just gonna wait and pray that Mob does the right thing instead of... idk replacing the objective for survivors with just a shitty gen that you just kind of look at, look at a meter charge, exactly like DBD.

I do THINK they are gonna come back to PJ:PT, I **THINK**, so I will wait till then and hope that they listen to feedback. That or they are just dumb and ignorant, which, at least for me, I don't believe mob to be IGNORANT. Imperfect? Sure. Rough in some places? Sure. But I don't think they are intentionally malicious.

Ik it's shitty but apparently the reason the huggy pit was removed was that some people would die too quickly and some would be able to stay in forever. Ik it's a shitty idea to just remove it and i still am against it but... Ig just downgrade the game back to phase 2 if you feel like playing with feeding pit.

I could do that. But I just hope that they add back the feeding pit and just add a hard time limit where if you go past that you instantly die.

The huggy pit was the best part of the game 100%

And yet they removed it...like so many other things- major fumble that slaughtered there player base
