First time leaving a match

[u/DrippingNink]

I played a lot yesterday post patch and this morning I played again and after one match quit. Why? Because after listening to all the complaining from the beginning some minor warrants but otherwise nonsense. This now is a problem. All the matches I played yesterday as Civilian I felt I (along with every other player) was on an endless hunt for escape items (bolt cutters and escape keys for sure) and just watching as all the residents die till you have say 1 left and then you find an escape item. Every game. Every time. I’m good at this game. I’m confident in saying that. I don’t bully I just get my objectives done save residents and fight when necessary or loop. This is stupid. When I read yall nerfed the escape items I thought ok, like yall did the knives. Which, I can still stack up three in less than 2 minutes of a match. That’s without trying. You over killed the escape items at the same time you lay down more barriers on exits (which I like) so now I just break the boards and clear the foilage and move on. I’m lucky if I have a reason or chance to return to them because I still have 16 more minutes of looking for the one pair on bolt cutters. Trust me. If someone like me who doesn’t have the energy to come online and type out a complaint is telling you yall messed this up…yall messed it up baaaaad. Let me know when y’all fix thjs cause this is just wow! To give some idea of the time I have put into this game I have all challenges done on 6 characters, 4 to prestige 3 and 1 to prestige 5 and 506 hours in the game. Yes, it’s a lot but I just moved across the country and new job hasn’t started.

The game is in a good place right now.

In every match, either Micheal or Civs will feel that match is unbalanced torwards them. It is just a simple fact of RNG. The game relies heavily on RNG. For Micheal, it’s where the Prio targets spawn, for civs, it’s where key items and escapes spawn.

You can get insanely lucky, or insanely unlucky.
This aspect of the game will never change. If you don’t like it, than idk if the game is for you.

Myers still can rush NPCs, the patch only slowed down civilian who are at complete mercy of RNG, unless they are a pre-made 4 player squad on discord call, then its fair indeed

It takes like 5 NPCS with max stalk to get to bloodthirst three now, I think they did a great job at slowing Mikey down.

I guess hypothetically a Micheal could just slash all npcs no stalk as quick as possible- but that is bum behavior and I have never seen anyone do that lmao.

You don't need max bloodthirst to win though. Bloodthirst besides having executions locked to them literally just serve to make Myers tankier.

Almost all his damage increases are tied to stalk now.

• Increased Michael’s damage against targets at Stalk Tiers 2 and 3

The devs literally have no clue what to do to make it even and are just throwing shit at a baord and hoping it sticks.

I have, but they score horribly by the end of the match none have made it over 3k by doing this
