Shrine of Secrets is...

EDIT: So i made a lil mistake when making this pol.

I can't remove an option after making the thread, so i'll state it here...

Do NOT vote for "it should present as many Survivor Teachables as Killer Teachables."

It's consistently been giving us 2 Survivor & 2 Killer ones ever since May of 2018, so that's totally fine.

If you choose that option, know that your vote basically means nothing.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

It always shows 2 killer and 2 Survivor teachables.

Only 150k bp for 2000 shards??? This is the worst trade deal in history.

It would be pretty cool if they put up 4 Killer and 4 Survivor teachable perks in their own diamonds.

Hmm, it's not in any patch notes, but it does seem evenly split in gamepedia's archives ever since the 21st week of 2018, which is mid-May.

Since it's like that consistently, i'll state to not choose that option. (I can't remove selections.)

i made a huge post about why i thing the Shrine is bad and how i would change it, though my main problem with it would be, that it doesnt have enough perks in it (combined with the randomness of the perks showing up).

ill leave a link to the whole thing here, if you wish to learn about it in a more detailed way (with a possible solution to it):

hey all, today i'd like to discuss the shrine of secrets, my problems with the current version of it and how i would personally change it.

the Shrine of Secrets:

so how does the Shrine of Secrets even work?

basically, it allows you to grab killer and survivor teachable perks without having to level the character first. this can be accomplished by earning shards by leveling up ingame and then spending them on the desired perk, unlocking it for each of your characters and allowing it to appear in the bloodweb of those characters (the perk will not automatically be added to their inventory).

the shrine contains 4 perks to choose from - 2 survivor perks and 2 killer perks. you can only obtain those through the shrine and you can also only buy each perk once during one time periode. the shrine will automatically refresh every week on wednesdays, adding 4 random new perks to it and allowing for new purchases.

if you wish to purchase a perk that is already in your posession, you will, instead of gaining the perk, get a certain amount of Bloodpoints instead.

the shrine is the same for every player and the perks on it are randomly chosen - it is a great chance to obtain perks from characters that you dont have unlocked yet.

My problem with the Shrine of Secrets:

i personally have two main problems with the shrine, though i am only going to address one of them in my rework suggestion, as the other one is really just a personal thing.

1) the currency needed for the shrine being shards. back in the day i used the shrine from time to time to cash in some Bloodpoints, though with the store addition i rather spend them on cosmetics, so the shrine is pretty much dead for me. as i have mentioned above, thats just a personal problem i have with it.

2) the shrine being random. this is what i believe hurts players the most, as they have to wait ages for the one perk they want to appear on the shrine (e.g. BBQ). combined with the ever increasing number of perks in the game, it pretty much forces players to buy the chapter only to be able to obtain a certain perk, as the chances of the perk actually appearing in the shrine are very slim and they usually have waited for long times aswell, so they rather just spend the money on something they dont actually want (e.g. Leatherface - lets be real, the only treason people buy this killer is eigther them not knowing about the game too well or them wanting to have BBQ, as thats pretty much a requirement right now).

My change suggestion:

the Shrine of Secrets should always contain all possible teachable perks for both Survivor and Killer. this can be achieved by adding a list with the names of the perks and a price behind it, similar to this (they should be split up between survivor perks and killer perks, so killers are on the right and survivors are on the left, as it already is the case in the store):

• Monitor & Abuse - 4000 Shards
• Overcharge - 4000 Shards
• ...

by clicking on the perk and confirming the purchase, you will spend the Shards and obtain the perk you wanted. this way there will always be the perks you want in the shrine and no one has to wait months for this one perk they really want (or in BBQs case, need) to appear in the shrine, as it is always there now.

but wait, did he just say 4000 Shards? thats more expensive than it currently is! (current prices lie between 2000 and 2700 shards)

and that is the drawback to the perks always being obtainable: they will cost more.

though, there is another feature i havent talked about yet: the current shrines randomness. yes, i want that to be a part of the new Shrine of Secrets aswell - but this time instead of being the only perks available, those are the perks that will have a reduced price instead! so, just as it works now 2 Survivor perks and 2 Killer perks will be chosen randomly. those will then be highlighted by appearing with their perk symbol and description above the general perk list (similar to the current shrine, but parted in a killer and survivor section) and the prices will be set down to 2000 shards for these perks, until the shrine refreshes the next week.

those would also be the only perks you could purchase and obtain Bloodpoints for. after purchasing a perk from the list, you wont be able to purchase it anymore from there.

it would be neat if we would add the little box behind the perk name and prices with a check mark inside of it, if the perk is already in the players posession (similar to those that can be found in the character info), so its liek a little checklist for the player, where he has all the perks listed and can see exactly what he has and what he is still missing.

and thats it!

sorry for the wall of text, i hope you made it through it unharmed! here, take a cookie for your troubles :3 🍪

please share your opinion on my idea down below in the comments!

have a wonderful day / night,

i'll see you in the fog!

Only 150K BP (About 3-6 matches worth of BP) for 2000 IC (about 40 matches worth of IC)

Total ripoff.
