Why cant we buy Halloween 2018 and 2019 skins with shards?
Halloween 2019 we earned vial currency. With that we were free to buy Halloween skins from 2019 but also the previous from 2018.
Halloween 2020 and that option is gone aswell. The more I think about this event the more I realize what a big downgrade this is.

BHVR likes money that's why.
Because x,y, and z.
... also money
yea i'm a bit annoyed with how last years "halloween" skins were handled through the rift. i finished the rift and completely forgot about my currency to buy the skins and lost the currency so i lost out on 3 skins.
Well that’s you’re own fault lol
Stop buying their skins with money, because that way you will show them that is ok to make things like this.
Oh trust me, Im so unhappy with BHVR since a long time and stopped buying stuff from them all together. Imo they dont deserve my wallet anymore.
That's the spirit
its not all that much of a downgrade tbf.
we got a lot more free stuff this year than the past two after all.
Hallowed Blight:
7 skins released, 5 Killer skins (Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Huntress, Doctor) and 2 Survivor skins (Dwight, Claudette)
you could obtain 2 skins (= 6 individual skin pieces) for free, using the Event Currency, however the remaining 5 would be locked behind a paywall.
Hallowed Catalyst:
6 skins released, 5 Killer skins (Nurse, Hag, Clown, Spirit, Plague) and 1 Survivor skin (Jake).
you could obtain 2 skins (= 6 individual skin pieces) for free using the Event Currency, aswell as 1 skin from the Rift (Nurse). You could also obtain the Hallowed Blight skins with the event currency. that leaves 3 more skins locked behind a paywall.
Hallowed Curse:
7 skins released, 3 Killer skins (Legion, Ghostface, Blight) and 4 Survivor skins (Feng, David, Yui, Felix).
you can obtain 5 skins for free, using shards (Legion, Blight, Feng, Yui), 1 skin from the Rift (David) and 1 more for shards during the event duration (Felix - that one was an Auric Cells only skin before the discount dropped, so i dont know how they'll handle that once its over again).
that means, while the previous two events forced you to pay money to obtain most of the content they had with skins (out of 13 skins only 4 could be obtained with event currency and 1 from the rift. leaves 8 pay to get skins), this year 6 out of 7 skins are free (5 if you had to purchase the Rift, as it is in the premium track) - and the only reason why the last one is an Auric Cells only skin is due to it being licensed.
plus there is a discount AND a daily log in shard bonus during the event preiode that allows you to obtain them a lot easier aswell.
i really fail to see how this can be seen as a downgrade from the previous years.
the skins look dope, they are mostly free and we got more of an ingame event than last year, where we just had to hook ppl / do gens to get points counted towards our Event Currency.
Please dont bring shards as being free. for 21k shards u have to play DbD as a full time job. Unless YOUR time isnt valuable.
Love your name.
Wish I could upvote your post more than once.
Just because people have access to the skins through shards, does not mean people will be able to actually obtain them all.
The scenario is meant to make it seem like they can all be obtained for “free” because they are purchasable in shards, however, I’m willing to bet less than 1% of the population who play this game are sitting on that amount of shards to actually obtain all the skins.
Imagine a scenario where you can own 7 free movies that just release. However, in order to do this, you must watch a total of 7000 hours of movies or approximately 3500 movies in order to obtain the free 7 movies. It’s possible and could happen, but chances are that it won’t.
That’s the idea behind this “opportunity” which is actually just a scam in disguise if you stop and think about it.
yet the last two years event currency involved even more of a grind.
plus it was time limited, while now you have unlimited amounts of time to obtain it.
will you have to invest time? yeah. of course - they wont just hand everything out for free. doesnt mean you'd have to pay any money to obtain it though. just play the game you enjoy and you'll get them as a passive bonus.
its a simple concept: do what you like (playing the game) and get small rewards for it which you can use to purchase ingame stuff.
no one says you have to grind out every single cosmetic asap - thats the cool part: they are not time limited! you can get them whenever you want!
