Hello,

we all know it. Last patch sinse a bug now we have all theese sweet items like twitch shirts, Dev shirt, Panda TV shirts and other stuff ingame. Now devs want to remove this Items from all players; if they doesn´t deserve. The question is why ? Exclusive Items are bad for the game. Same with Legacy.... is it so hard to bring back theese Items as an Throwback Event with old conditions ? or maybe in the shop or like an charity case 2.0 ? Siriously, theese Items are only cosmetics not much more, so make all exclusives ingame free for everyone or no one. I mean i was working too for my hound exclusive and stuff like that and the devs was making them free now. Anyone care about me ? NO. I accept that, so why BHVR can´t do that with all the other items ?


sry for my bad englishgrammatic

greetings

    Having items exclusives is something that the developers explicitly want. It's more effort to remove the items than just letting people keep them. Therefore players not having them is intentional.

    Any sort of licensing agreements do not apply to all of the items either, such as the "Crew" shirt for Nea, and possibly others.

    See also: The battlepass cosmetics which have not, and most likely never will be, put in the store:

    This is an almost exact copy of my post here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/1564045/#Comment_1564045

    I made it into its own thread so it becomes easier to find it again later, and to give the developers a chance to prove that they are at least reading criticism by using the "BHVR Read" reaction without the need to write a response, which is not available on posts as far as I know.

    Battlepass cosmetics release a minimum of 6 months after each battlepass closes. For the first battlepass the earliest date would have been in early July. Nothing was released. No information about when that is going to happen either.

    Here is why I think that situation is bullshit:

    • no one was asking for a battlepass system
    • no one forced them to release a battlepass when it clearly wasn't even ready (example: first battlepass has a completely purple arcade cabinet charm - it looks awful, it would have been easy to make it look passable by giving it some sort of texture that isn't literally all purple)
    • no one forced them to announce that they would release the cosmetics a minimum of 6 months later
    • they clearly had no plan how or when they would release the cosmetics. The 6 months is just a lazy excuse to shut down people saying the battlepass is predatory by forcing people to grind the game for an unreasonable amount of time for fear of missing out on items

    Source for the 6 months thing (scroll to the bottom): https://deadbydaylight.com/en/archives

    What happens when The Rift closes?

    If you missed some rewards in The Rift, most of them will eventually be available in our in-game store after a minimum period of 6 months. (More details to be revealed at a later date.)

    There are still no details though. No information about when they will release.

    And yes I know that it says minimum, but minimum can also mean 10 years from now. They could have taken their time to flesh out the release plan for their battlepass system, but they did not. They needed to buy themselves time to come up with something because almost certainly their original plan was to make the cosmetics exclusive to the battlepass, but that would have made them look bad, so they came up with an excuse in hopes of finding a solution after they released the battlepass.

    (More details to be revealed at a later date.)

    The battlepass was announced during the year 3 livestream. That was on May 31st 2019. That is over a year ago, and should have been more than enough time to come up with a plan on how to handle the release of the battlepass cosmetics into the store.

    They won't bring legacy back because it was really hard to level up one character back in the days. I've spent countless hours getting my 5 survivor legacy, It's basically a reward for people who had played and invested their time into the game. About those exclusives, why would they give you a TTV shirt if you're not a streamer? People stream and build their own communities to get it. The same goes for all other exclusives like PandaTV, Crew shirt etc.

    sure, ive spend also many many hours of playing to get theese items and now they bring it back in the shop or free for everyone, so pls don´t come with this bored argument anymore. Everyone knows that legacy items was not easy to get. But i see no diffrent between a throwback event wit the same conditions or grinding dbd on 2016. In my opinion exclusives are bad for the game.

    You know currently that the game will probably last for a while, and can therefore feel comfortable sinking however many hours into it. Back in 2016, nobody knew if this game would survive or not. No matter what you rollback to 2016 values to try and make the legacy grind, you cannot replace that uncertainty of the game's future. Furthermore, nobody even knew they were getting legacy, and so it was just an additional reward for those that grinded more.

    Nothing will be able to compare to 2016 grind due to those two factors.

    Legacy will not be returning (as much as I want it to).

    I only managed to get Meg, Jake, and Nea full legacy and I only got the weapon on Nurse. I wish I would've just threw away life to get full legacy on everyone lol.

    Since they gave out the special Ace hats, they should let people keep the Panda TV shirts. The other yellow shirt on Dwight and Meg should also be kept.

    Nea's dev team shirt and the Twitch shirts however should be taken away. If you don't stream or you haven't worked on the game, then you shouldn't have the cosmetics. Plain and simple.

    My only issue with the plan to take away the most recent cosmetics is them screwing up and taking OTHER cosmetics as well that were bought/earned. My level of trust that they won't screw that up is currently very low. 😒

  • shalo shalo

    A lot of these type of posts are based around the idea that exclusives are bad for the game. Can someone explain why exclusives are bad for the game?
