treating surv as anything but a meme role to frag t1s with is delusion

If survivors wanted to play the game, they woulnd’t suicide and then call out them “Winning” by taking down xenoes while being obliterated. They just want to make the cake and eat it too.

That heavily depends on who’s playing the survivor, because yeah there are those types of survivors that play just to meme on t1’s then just cryo or play PFC+.
These survivors exist, but most at the very least try to RP if they survive.
And to be honest I’d rather just have biolock’s idea of having survs spawn in a largely unreachable bunker so they can actually RP with shipside (since tarps don’t even spawn on most maps), and making it a HRP role.

I’m not thinking that survivor mains should have more of a say in the actual voting. Just for suggestions on where the direction of survivor should be headed, and see what the general public agrees with.
Parsonally, i’m only really a fan of survivor RP once there is a nightmare insert, or an event of some kind. Since it just isn’t fun to just go through ye ol’ “Omg, what happened down there!?” while all we did was hold one metaspot dealing with max 3 xenoes.

Meanwhile CL RP:
CL: yo marine, give egg
PVT: no
CL: me have money
PVT: ok
While the PVT is searching for eggs CL keeps stalking research then PVT comes back with an egg.
PVT: there
CL: yooo, have this 1k of money
Then CL grows xeno in his office, calls them baby/pet/cutie, it breaks out and CL gets executed for sedition (obviously it happens x2 when you join the CL as surv CL)

I think the polarizing interpretation of “Choose a camp! You lose one thing… but gain another!” is wrong. None of these interpretations or suggested changes sound completely right at all.
Surv vs xeno is in a fun state right now imo.
It’s simply a role that exists to add to the round, and give a different option for players wanting to enjoy the game in a different role. (albeit, not appealing to most players. it’s not supposed to be though.)
Survivor is a PVP role, made to fight the xenomorphs and provide fun (and unique from marine) combat before marines land. This is fun.
It is also a Teamwork PVP role, made to work with your allies to boost your chance of success. This is fun.
It is also an RP role, but rp is not required. This is fun.
Aswell as this, it’s a Challenge role. You are not given enough supplies, and have to work against the odds to win. This is fun.
Forcing polarizing changes to encourage a single role and discourage other roles will just make the role have less content w/ little benefit. I don’t agree that it needs an identity rework.
I think “Rp or PVP… choose now…” just doesn’t get the point of the role. You can do both if you want to, or neither if you want to (lockerhide).
Theres gotta be some amount of changes possible that boost the good qualities of it without significantly reducing the other, already existing good qualities that make up survivor.

I’d love a bunker survivor role on some, maybe not all, of the maps. Given with how I’ve seen some of the wey-yu call center and bunker events play out. It seems like a good place to add in some RP. Just give them a few restrictions like not being able to leave the bunker to go frag unless they get rescued by the marines or something along those lines.

add a hazmat suit and gas mask/02 tank combo to research and atmospherics that let you stay inside the gas without taking damage for a few minutes, but the hazmat has decent slowdown and no armor, so it’s for people who want to survive for RP and the frag fans won’t wear it.
