Any reason we shouldn't have a 2x Event every weekend after a Chapter release?

Just wondering.

RE Chapter is good, but the release was a flop and a half.

It would be nice to get our minds off things and enjoy the 2x event while BHVR is busy fixing whatever they broke...

    Yeah honestly

    They would get more players with double BP as well

    Because they want you to grind.

    We should ha 2x bloodpoints every weekend tbh

    It is because of the "Bloodpoint economy" which, in my opinion, is a very weird and flawed excuse.

    If the Bloodpoint economy was really a thing, they wouldn't have done a Blood Feast back in 2017.

    They should give us the perks automatically, without the need to get them from bloodweb. Only items, add-ons and offerings should be bought from bloodweb for bloodpoints.

    Idea:

    Make the perks from the base game, the perks from purchased DLCs and the perks bought from the shrine immediately available to all characters. I.e. it is not needed to buy the perks from bloodweb, the perks are immediately available and on max tier.

    Benefits for players:

    - Removes a lot of grind for players who would like to play various characters and perks but don't have a lot of time to grind for getting all the perks from the bloodweb.

    - Prestige will still require grind, so only dedicated players investing a lot of time will be able to get the exclusive prestige skins.

    - Prestige will be more accessible for players who already managed to get a lot of perks for a character and don't want prestige, because they would lose perks.

    - Players still need to buy items, offerings, add-ons from bloodweb, so the current balance is not really going to be affected.

    Benefits for BHVR:

    - People will be more likely to get into the game and buy DLCs. More money for BHVR! (Currently buying a new DLC is a bit discouraging, because players won't be able to fully use/enjoy it until they manage to get most of the perks, which takes a lot of time.)

    - People will be more likely to buy skins, especially survivor skins. More money for BHVR! (Currently why would someone buy a skin for a survivor that they don't play, because has only a few perks unlocked?)

    Other important reasons:

    - Perks differ a lot from items, add-ons and offerings. Once a perk is bought in bloodweb, it can be used forever. However add-ons, offerings and possibly items get lost after the match. So balancing wise (in the long run) it doesn't make sense to sell the perks for bloodpoints (it slows down a bit buying other stuff from bloodweb only until all the perks are unlocked).

    - I guess the grind was not so noticeable earlier when there were less characters and perks. But after 5 years there are a lot of characters and perks, and more will come. With the current system the amount of grind is increasing a lot as new characters and perks are added: the grind is increasing quadratically for new players and increasing linearly for old players. This makes it very hard for new players to get into the game and hard for old players to stay in it. (This means that it is roughly 4 times harder for new players currently compared to what it was when there were half as many characters).

    Further work:

    My suggestion fixes the grind issue but there are still various other improvements that could be done. Let's don't discuss them too much in this topic, because it is not the main message of my post.

    Some ideas for further improvements:

    - Adding more ways for hardcore gamers to show off their dedication (more special exclusive skins, badges that show up next to their name, toplists, etc.).

    - Possibly making prestige harder since my suggestion makes it a bit more accessible.

    - Balancing the prices in bloodweb, possibly making the nodes more expensive so that players can't use the best add-ons, items, offerings in the matches all the time. Possibly removing the bloodpoint effect from BBQ or WGLF as part of this balancing.
