AFK crows are stupid

[Windows XP]

I think that the AFK crows that appear above your head is a bit ridiculous. It reveals your exact location and they don't instantly go away as soon as you move. Like you aren't afk anymore, so why are they still there? I can be urbaning in a corner for only like 5 minutes and moving back and forth behind a rock and the crows still come. It's stupid, and very killer sided. I get that survivors are OP, but I don't think my location should be revealed just because I like to be stealthy and don't want to get caught. Maybe the killer should get good and learn how to actually find the survivors. I think that the AFK crows should either be removed or reworked somehow. Like maybe make them only appear if the game lasts for over an hour or something. I'm tired of my position being given away to skilless killers who can't catch me without getting notified by the crows above my head.

Maybe in return for this, since survivors are OP, they should only have 3 perks instead of 4. I would happily be willing to trade in my 4th perk to get rid of these stupid AFK crows, and I'm sure any survivor main that knows what they are doing would be willing to do the same.

AFK crows should not count while you're in the killer's terror radius because sometimes a killer wants to camp an area and if you're stuck there trying to slowly get away, sometimes you get an AFK crow and that's not your fault. You're just trying to stealth away and you shouldn't be punished for that.

I already said before, I help my team, but I want to live. That's the whole point of the game, to live. If my team isn't good enough to live, that isn't my fault. I will save them if I am able to and do gens if I can, but I'm not going to run out in front of the killer just because my team needs help. That's stupid.

Ugh... you don't understand at all man.

You will never get to rank 1 like that, hell you won't get to rank 10 as part of the game is that you MUST save your team mates. Escaping isn't actually the goal, it is the 'cherry on top'.

When you get a bit better you will actually want the killer to chase you or you will get their attention to take the aggro off your team mates. This is how you rank up fast, they made it this way so you have to play as a team.

If all you do is gens and you escape without even being seen by the killer or saving anyone, you will either derank or black pip (not change rank at all) as you haven't played the match right.

Why would I take aggro off my team mates? They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, I'm not going to punish myself for that lol. Just because they got found doesn't mean I should go sacrifice myself for them. They have the ability to hide just like me.

I know! It's so annoying. I just wish that they would rework it somehow to balance it out more

this has to be the worst post i have ever seen

You are probably just a salty killer main that doesn't know anything about balance

I'm not being afk though, so why should my location be shown? I'm just trying to hide

If crows didn’t generate ppl could just hold game hostage forever. If you get stuck in one spot that’s on you, I honestly cannot imagine a scenario where you’re stuck for 5 mins behind a rock. Even ppl bleeding out tend to move round

That's why I said maybe if the match lasts for over an hour, they can appear. That way they can't hold the game hostage. Sometimes I can't move because the killer just stays in one area and I don't want to get caught, so I get afk crows because I was being stealthy.

This reminded me of Extra credits telling that we can wait double the amount of time to play as germans in a ww2 shooter. Anyways, not surprised people still getting baited.

Well dude this is going in circles and you clearly are new and don't understand the game yet and that is fine.

I used to be the same when I started this game, I would hide and only go for safe saves and Urban my way around the map. I often escaped too and when people would say wtf were you doing I would say things like 'well I escaped and you didn't so look at yourself'

But eventually you will become less immersed and realise that the game is a 4 vs 1, not a 3 vs 1 vs 1 and against stronger killers your team will be destroyed every time if you don't work with each other to achieve the objective. Hell the game literally rewards you for taking hits, diverting the killer and saving your team mates.

As you get more hours in the game you will realise what I am saying here and if you continue playing and get hundreds of hours into the game and you read back this thread, you will laugh at yourself, believe me.

Its funny since matches rarely even get to 15 minutes if a match somehow got to an hour it would be because everyone fell a sleep at there keyboard.

standing still in 1 spot isnt stealthy thats u being idle u can not stand still in dbd and killer will mostliekly wan tu more because of that i had a guy try to do that tome as doc only he smart about is moveing a round in 1 spot so i let the other guy do gens as i hunted for the guy soon as other guy opened the gate he showed up but i had blood warden and noed just to piss him off to i let the other guy go thru hatch to after i go thim u cant just sit there waiting u do work thats not how this works

You could just hide in an obscure locker the whole match then, though.

I do think that the AFK crows should not appear when you are within the terror radius of the killer, though. I have had to sit in one spot for over 2 minutes a few times because the killer wouldn't move from the area. I got seen once the crow came.

This, a killer had whispers and backed me into a corner, i avoided him for 2+ mins, everytime he walked away i'd go for the gennie for him to come right back, i couldn't do anything really thankfully he gave up just as the crows started to appear, but there have been other close calls like that, and i feel the AFK system could be improved somewhat, as even being in the TR keeping the killer there is providing help to the team, as he's occupied while they can do gens.

But as the survivor stuck in that position, you get naff all for it and feel like a useless ♥♥♥♥, even if the killer did have you pinned the entire time.
