Revert the seeker speed boost in the last 30 seconds
Running is already the hardest way to play, why are we nerfing it?
As a mobile player, I’ve never felt that speed was needed to catch runners. I get that hive is trying to keep the game casual, but this is 100% not the way to do it - running is already a casual way to play the game. Please revert this change.

Nah, only a few people like playing like this while the rest finds it annoying. This is definitely a change for the better, plus its only the last 30 seconds, just abuse climbing/falling areas since speed won’t help them there

The speed boost improves the game for nobody. If you are in a situation where it is the entire lobby chasing 1 runner, converting that to a win is laughably easy. If you are in a situation where its just u and 1-2 other seekers chasing a runner, killing the runner still means a loss for you bc theres def other hiders. I could see it being reasonable to give speed in the last 3 seconds - lets you close the gap the tiniest bit for that last hit for that one in a thousand game where you need to clutch up like that. Anything more than that is just messed up.
All this does is hurt the like 3 remaining runner mains, and maybe give satisfaction to people who struggle to chase runners without understanding the very obvious counterplay.
What’s unfortunate is this suggestion won’t get many votes, not because its bad but because its irrelevant. With the addition of LBs, everyone good seeks in parties anyways. The last 30 seconds rarely comes up anymore. When it does, it should feel tense, thrilling, and exciting - not this.
As a seeker and a runner, please. revert this change - it is actively harmful to a small minority of players and entirely irrelevant to a large majority.
Nah, I always wanted that added

Why’d they just add it with no notice. No one knew it was coming. Hive is not Like that.
Like this, old npc and new npc is looking the same

I can see The Hive lowering the speed time to the last 20 seconds instead, which is fine by me still. This at least gets it closer to the middle ground
That something that shocked me too, it’s a nice birthday gift for me though (Aug 7th) but I’m not so sure why this wasn’t on the roadmap, something’s off about this
It would be great if you could use our dedicated feedback form to give us your feedback on the Hide and Seek: Mischief Update.
