The Grimoire chapter should be unlocked for everyone
I do not feel grinding 18k shards for a chapter made by the community.
The killer look so peak i do not want to farm 9k for it

We have a lot of original chapters this year so you better farm those shards
Yeah, I mean, this one was largely created by the community; I don't see why we should have to grind for it. If the community designed it, we ought to be able to access it—it is a community chapter, after all. It should stand apart from the others a bit; they asked for input from all players, not just those with over 18k Iridescent Shards.
I doubt we will ever get a free dlc chapter again :/
This chapter got created by the developers like any other chapter. The community was only the "idea guy" here. There is absolutely no reason to ask for it for free, especially because IT IS FREE IF YOU PLAY THE GAME FOR A WHILE.
You entitled brats you!😡🔥
relax man, i've only been here for 2000h, why wanting to grind more when you can have cool peak content quicker
I mean, we only made the creative decisions. The actual labour - the actual creation - was still very much done by BHVR.
Not to mention the concepts we picked were also made by them.
Excellent ragebait my man, go on to places!
With the new Rift and the events coming up, you should have more than enough shards soon :)
Sorry, but no. The developers don't work for free. All that time put in the design and modelling has to be recouped in some way. This isnt a charity.
Do you work for free?
plenty of people do unpaid overtime, actually. for some its a feature called a salary.
I'm not saying it should be free, but there exists a time beyond today where there may be newpaying customers. A free killer could be a loss today to secure greater gains tomorrow.
Shards are funny money anyways where you only pay with your time. it's not real dollar value anyways. Usually grind keeps us hamsters on the wheel but this could introduce many new hamsters.
OP goes to a Chipotle, tells the staff how they want their burrito, then claims they should get it for free because it was "community created".
I thought the interest was for everyone to have access to it as simply as possible—apparently not. If you're so keen on grinding out 18k, well, nobody's stopping you i guess
Iridescent Shards do not put money in the developers pockets. They are a made up in-game currency…
See, that’s not entirely true.
While they don’t have any direct monetary value, grinding for it does mean you’re repeatedly exposed to the game’s monetisation schemes, like the store, or even paid chapters. Repeated exposure is bound to make you budge for other paid content.
You may be able to resist it, but others are quite susceptible to these kinds of tactics.
But do they make money directly by spending Iridescent Shards on cosmetics? No. So lowering the price it costs to purchase original DLCS would not affect them. 9000 shards x 2 = 18,000 Iri Shards, when it could be 4,500 per killer/survivor and it wouldn't affect them in the slightest. People would still play the game regardless. Purchasing paid DLCs and other in-store cosmetics is completely irrelevant to the fact. So back to my original statement; Iridescent Shards do not put money in the developers pockets.
You did not read what I wrote.
It's indirect revenue. It keeps people playing, which in turn keeps people spending.
I believe I read what you wrote quite clearly. If someone doesn't want to spend money on DBD, them being forced to play to earn this made up in-game currency, will not make them suddenly want to spend money on other things. So, again, Iridescent Shards do not put money in the developers pockets. My response to that person is still 100% true, regardless on if someone does spend money on other in-store cosmetics and DLCs or not.
I think you underestimate the psychological warfare going on in this live service game.
Let's take off the tinfoil hats now 😂 Even so, Iridescent Shards still don't put money in their pockets.
its a paid game with f2p monetazation, its hard to grind shards especially if both characters are 9000
I mean yeah it takes a while. And it takes a ton of time to unlock everything with shards thats unlockable by them. But the option is there for all original characters, consistently since ~2018. That is a really fair deal, especially since original chapters take the same kind of work as licensed ones.
