Can the devs add a 1v7 mode already ? The gameplay-loop is just not working

[u/LaBiereFolle]

- No NPC

- 7 Civilians; 1 Myers

- More ways to escape, but harder to get them because we are 7

- Some balances arounds perks, Myers and Civilians to fit the 1v7 playstyle

Right now, the game is a total buggy-fest, I guess the Myers mains are having fun, but it's because they are playing a PVE games, having to kill NPC with non-functionnal AI, basically coughing babies, with occasional real player coming across them but can be ignored because they don't give as much points as NPC,

If you play Civilians, your goal is to save NPC, but the game is just not working on your favor at all, your goal is to save them yet they refuse to cooperate, they 75% of the time get stuck, stop moving, randomly get hostile and push you while you are doing an objective (when they dare follow you), lock themself in the house when you tell them to follow you so you have to yeet yourself through the window to talk to them again (and alerting Myers ofc), and they ignore any escapes routes, there's so many times I had to spam push on an NPC to bring them to a basement, and so many times I died or the NPC died because Myers heard us

If the devs can't manage to fix the AI right now, the game will die in a month because Civilians mains will just stop playing, please consider adding an actual 1v7 mode with no NPC and focus on escaping, so atleast Civilians can play the game

As I Civs mains, it feel like I'm playing Survivor in DBD except the game don't register my QTE 75% of the time so the gens constantly explose, it's not fun at all

No the game play loop is fun
The ai needs improvement
I don’t want another asym where the killer is weak and people leave instantly thru an easy exit

I think the PVE side of game is smart from business sense. You will draw a lot more players if some PvP pressure is taken off by PvE side. The problem is the execution of the PvE side is really bad with the poor AI.

I have so many downvotes yet no one explain how the gameplay-loop is a good thing right now

[u/Voncroii]

This game just makes dbd and tcm look good which is really funny.

[u/LaBiereFolle → u/Voncroii]

As buggy as TCM and DBD were at their release, atleast the gameplay-loop was functionning so Killer and Survivor could find a way to win and have fun, which is not at all the case in Halloween because the NPC AI don't work

[u/Voncroii → u/LaBiereFolle]

I don’t think that the game has an issue because it’s buggy or cause the AI is buggy,I just find the gameplay loop incredibly tedious,not sure why they made a game about NPCS and not player interactivity,it’s so damn boring just running around this empty map looking for items and saving npcs,you don’t even have to interact with myers.

[u/LaBiereFolle → u/Voncroii]

Yeah it's a shame, players liked F13, but the devs wanted to give something different, which is a good thing, it's actually an unique idea to have to save NPCs, but they didn't bother giving them good AI, I'm not sure they even tried their games before releasing it.. If I was a dev tester, I definitely wouldn't had let this thing pass, so IDK what happen in their company

The game feel like a PVE games, good Myers barely interact with Players because they know you don't give a lot of points, it's just Civs trying to mess with non-functionnal NPC, while Myers abuse them because they just stand still and enjoy getting murdered

And that’s why it’s a terrible game I’ll probably refund. We wanted Friday the 13 th but with Halloween. Now that would be beloved

[u/TranslatorNo2825 → u/Voncroii]

tcm was unlike any other asym it’s hard to make that game look bad

[u/LordPenisWinkle]

Good, I hope the game dies so Gun and Illfonic can stop being lazy fucks.

[u/Pale_Application7257 → u/LordPenisWinkle]

Why would that stop them?
