I feel like some Killers have optional but alternative interactions and they're always my favorite go against. Alarm clocks, skull drones, Onryo tapes, Springtrap doors. All of these make me so excited to play in a match because it means gens won't be my only focus! Great feedback.

The question is does it make more sense for it to be alliterative with Judgment, like Judgment and Jerry, or alliterative with Staff, like Stanley or Susan.

This is great feedback! Whilst I do not have an exact answer to your specific query, I do have some insights I can share from our most recent AMA we had on Friday of last week. Daniel actually referred to the issue as "overall bloat" which I think will resonate with some of you!

Q: Have you guys thought about letting us trade add ons we don't use for bloodpoints?

A: Progression as a whole is an ongoing discussion for the design team. I can't go into specific plans today, as we're still working an analyzing everything and working on a plan.

One of the areas we've identified is the overall bloat of certain elements, including add-ons and perks. We want to reduce the amount of items that end up sitting unused in the player's inventories. We are looking into the best solution to address that.

As I mentioned earlier, any changes to progression need to be made carefully, since they're connected to almost eveything in the game. It may take some time before you see larger updates, but it's something we're actively working on.

-Daniel

Jeff also discussed reworking things like luck/chests that can feel like they bloat the items available in the game:

Q:Do you guys have a plan to rework or even change in-game mechanics that don’t get used or have much use like luck or chest?
-From your local chest maxer

A: Yes.

We are currently designing phase 1 of adjusting these mechanics (more on the lighter side in terms of update)

It's slated for early 2027.

We're planning additional phases after that, but no ETA on those.

-Jeff

in Why do I still have to funnel blood points into new DLC characters I paid for? Comment by Balrog August 10, 2026

Love this suggestion! We did have a similar question during our AMA on Friday:

Q: Any plans to implement character sorting by prestige lvl, playtime or custom order?

A: This is definitely something growing in need as we keep adding characters, perks, outfits... just about everything. No hard plans at the moment though!

-Justin

I think it’s important to manage queue times whilst keeping the flavor of the different modes flowing. That said, it may limit the other fun modes players love, such as 2v8, with a three-way split to queues. That's what really makes me nervous; I think Play While You Wait helps but I would be curious to see the statistics of how often its utilized during higher wait times.

What type of data is sent to the backend when we do make an in‑game report from the tally screen? Like, when we send a report and you see it on your end, what kind of info tells you “oh yeah, this person was definitely cheating”?
My curious little brain 🧠 just needs to know. 🤣

I appreciate the curiosity, but unfortunately my knowledge of the Support system isn't this in depth, and I'm not sure I'd be at liberty to disemminate the information if I did. <3

Will do, I always gets nervous about reports when I’m not sure, I don’t know dbds false report policy so I just don’t wanna test it other games can be pretty strict about stuff like that.

Probably let this guy slip away, my apologies. Well at least I can add this to the list of things to look out for.

Edit: checked the stats tracker website the best I got it was on Badham 1 at 6:59 am today, the Billy had double turn add ons with a toba offering, and had spirit fury, pop, NWTH, and infectious, the match lasted 11:06 with myself as Lara, my duo Alan wake, another Lara who dc’d and michonne who abandoned on hook when I went down.

Unfortunately, there's no way to review it without a proper in-game report. :(

unfortunately no, we weren’t sure until we watched back the footage later after we both out of the lobby.
We should’ve reported anyway. Too bad there’s no recent players system.
Should’ve trusted my gut but I haven’t seen cheaters in a low time even then I’ve ever seen less than a handful and they were blatant.

I can’t speak for the randoms they may have reported it, one teammate dc’d after the first chase must’ve not wanted to deal with that, and the last guy probably just left when he died,

Without an in-game report from the tally screen, we can't really do anything, as all the match details are lost. Worst case, it was just lag, and your report would have been discarded. I always encourage an in-game report if something seems off.

As the Black Banquet is in full swing, we wanted to take the time to address some of the issues that have been raised within the community.
Offering Spawn Rate: The current spawn rate is working as intended, providing enough Offerings to guarantee one per Trial while still allowing players to build up a reserve. With the previous issues now fixed, the current rate is slightly higher than for last year's Event, and Auto-Bloodweb and Bulk Bloodpoint Spending
now prioritize the Offering.
Offering Rarity: We will be decreasing the rarity of the Event Offering to Common in the bugfix patch coming next week, reducing the Bloodpoint price of the Offering in the Bloodweb.
We know this may differ from previous Events, and while the changes are intended and reflect our vision for future Events, we understand the frustration. However, this isn't meant to be any less of a celebration!
Get ready for a Bloodhunt starting tomorrow to help you make the most of the Event with 2 x Bloodpoints from all matches until July 7.
Log in any time between July 3, 11AM ET, and July 16, 11AM ET to get unique The Trapper and Dwight Fairfield Cosmetics as party favors for our 10th Anniversary.

Thank you for joining us in The Fog, we hope to see you around the table of The Black Banquet!

I'm curious : What is the process in reference? I'm not asking to attack, but legitimately I'm becoming confused. We all (I hope) assume these changes all went through rounds of discussion and comparison before implementation, and I think the kinder side of the forums would assume play-testing happened. What is this process in question? It's not as though the event is PTB, this isn't a 'here's the rough draft let's polish it now' situation, as the event is already live and the lifespan is ticking by.

As to the cake, I'd point out that people are upset not just because of the cited bits of wanting to farm them and it bringing enjoyment, but also because BHVR has established an expectation. This is the bar that was set, and like in all business when one violates the standard set and falls below that expectation, one would expect to see a thermal incline begin as satisfaction drops off. Can this also be conveyed to the team?

I know the bar was set kind of low but hitting this far below average on a 10 year Anniversary is… well, yikes.

The feedback loop! Sorry for just calling it the "process" and not being more specific.

It should be looked into, because a scripted drop rate is not at all fun to deal with.
Previous years had random amounts of cakes that would show up in the bloodwebs. In some cases, up to 3-4 cakes could spawn in a single web. This is the desired level we'd expect from the biggest anniversary event.

Yes, please continue to share your thoughts here, this is crucial to the process and is really appreciated.

Sorry for the direct tag, but is BHVR aware that a lot of people are dissatisfied with the slight increase of the cakes?
There is radio silence again, even in the almost 180 comments discussion about cakes in this forum.
I mean, this is objectively still a lot less than the 9th year, which was less than the 8th year.

I cannot respond to all feedback, I do not have enough time! I do not have any statements or communications at this time, as we have shared information and communications regarding the bloodweb as of last Friday. The continued dissatisfaction is noted however, and something I can take back to the team.

This is a comment from 2025; the 52minute tag is misleading since if you went to the dev page to get a recent screenshot of this quote, it would say "1 year ago". This does not undermine the current feedback or frustrations, I just wanted to clarify this specific screenshot is not accurate to this years communications.
