Rugrat Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) The 90 seconds that players are knocked out for when kidnapped by a serial killer is too long. thats the standard jail sentence when arrested by a cop. it should be equivalent to the time that regular kidnap jobs can knock people out for - 30 seconds. Most players would rather be killed and just get it over with than to wait 90 sec just to wake up (and still have to wait even longer before they can suicide). here are a collection of reactions ive gotten when kidnapping people as serial killer (assuming they don't disconnect which is pretty common and annoying) to give developer a general sense of how the player base feels about it. https://imgur.com/JNeXoO0 https://imgur.com/dAlb1U8 https://imgur.com/DxrHD2c https://imgur.com/GyYYx1p https://imgur.com/5ZZCkEo Disconnecting and re logging is faster than waiting to wake up, which is why so many players do it. The solution is to make the knockout time the same as all the other kidnaper jobs, 30 seconds. Edited July 31, 2021 by Rugrat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuss Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 i feel like a little more than normal would be nice as the serial killer does have some more challenges than the normal kidnapper, but nothing like 90 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chud Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yeah 45 seconds seems fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zesty Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 how about giving the sk a swep that would instantly wake up the player they kidnapped, so they don't have to wait a long time just sitting there waiting for them to wake up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not going to allow us to do that because he thinks it’s unfair. I think just decreasing the time from 90 seconds to 45 is more balanced. The usual knockout time is 30 seconds with regular kidnap jobs so 45 seems like the perfect sweet spot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I feel like that over complicates things when cutting the 90 seconds in half is just a much more simple way of solving it. Most people playing as serial killer get spotted when they kidnap. If you have ever played as cp you will know this as the “a serial killer has been spotted” sound que is heard like all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel likle the time should be shortened if not needed but not if you're spotted I use a base when I play serial killer and still get spotted by people walking by my closed door/ blocked windows. Keeping the time 90 seconds for when you’re spotted is practically the same as not changing the time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody sees a serial killer and run away so cops go to them, people just don't care if they see somebody kidnapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
