It is extremely disappointing to see premium cosmetics (Auric Cells Only) offered for free in the Rift.
As a paying customer, I feel betrayed and undervalued.
The premium sticker tag tells me that only real-world money can buy this item, and no amount of time invested in the game will help me unlock my purchase. It is a signifier that this item is one-of-a-kind (even if it exists in a virtual mass market), and therefore holds intrinsic value as a product which I can possess.
I do not support this kind of dubious practice. I will not be paying for future content.
---
To those who may be drinking the Kool-Aid, cosmetic retexturing/recoloring is a very simple task. Depending on the complexity of the model, a single artist could create 3 to 10 different texture variants of a single model in one day.
Cosmetics with color & texture variants have grown in popularity as in-game purchases because they are incredibly low-cost to make while creating wider appeal for a cosmetic line.
---
Most companies recognize that when customers purchase a cosmetic at a premium they are paying for the exclusivity of an item. Part of a product's value is derived from the amount of versions available.
The more options available, the lower the value of the product.
This is a concept I'm sure many of you are familiar with, as taglines like "One-of-a-Kind" or "Only X number of copies have been made" are popular selling points for lucrative items.
BHVR has said "to hell with exclusivity" and undermined the value of all their products with the decision to include premium products for free.
I feel your pain, I made a post called, How can this happen? sharing my anger at bought cosmetics now free in the rift, I wont be buying cosmtics with auric cells again.

I doubt the devs had the rift in mind when designing cosmetics 2+ years ago. That being said, when I see a recolor is going to be in the rift, I don't buy the one in the shop. Just makes more sense to get the free one then the $10-11 one.
sorry but we are not mind readers, how do we know the cosmetic bought with money is THEN going to be in the rift as then a straight up free? so....no they did not have the rift in mind that long ago but they know what has been created and should not be re colouring already made cosmetics

Not that it may help, but I've put this issue into Feedback for BHVR to look into, because I'm rather bemused at the fact I can now get a free version with a better weapon on an outfit people such as yourself need to pay for out of Auric Cells.
I'm not sure how well they'll look into it, but I agree this feels grossly unfair.
Let us hope they do as this is not right, and some of us, or new players will not know of this so called re touch or colour, esp not everyone plays the rift, and some maybe saving up a while for a certain thing, we dont all participate in things so some of us may not know about certain things. It's like a trapper outfit Mr Mushwin got, now with a re touch, ge thanks devs i wished to pay a lot to be then a little brighter in my face. -.-

I've just compared them and .. ummm ... yeah.
Other than the weapon, they are just complete reshades, and that mallet weapon in the rift could arguably be considered a better looking weapon than a slab of meat with spikes in them.
If the recolour was of something in the green or yellow cosmetics, and they wefen't Auric only then there could be a fair argument made, but if the one Mushwin bought was an Auric only ...
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2390246#Comment_2390246
... and this confirms it. Well, yeah this is quite a cheap move BHVR. I empathise fully with Mushwin here.
i do too...he did buy it and not long ago! if we knew this he wouldn't of, its not on, esp if just say someone who has been saving up and up for something as i am sure peeps do, and then its a slap in the face its not right

Any cosmetics I buy end up free in the rift. I've just bought Cop Cheryl and Claire so I won't pretend to be suprised when they are in the next free track.
I just bought elodies new one, now i am regretting it due to this

Yeah recolors in the rift that barely change are stupid.
i thought your name was friendly blanket lol i now have that in my head....and yes ten pound hard earned money only for it to be re coloured a little and free...not sure i can now put my money forth in the game and i like my clothes...

Yes it is Auric Cells only. Anyone who paid 1080 AC for what they beleive is exclusive will be rather annoyed that now everyone gets it for free.
Disgusting. Devs should be pretty ashamed.

All of BHVR's skins are pretty pricy and yeah it is an epic it costs like 12 euro
It's not on though, we are spending money, not just me etc but others and some may of been saving a while to gain a certain outfit only for it to be then re coloured and free. Yes they do sales but thi is daylight robbery.

@TragicSolitude said:
I'm not saying it's okay, but for a long time now the shop has received two or three versions of a single outfit with one or two being available with Iridescent Shards and the last being Auric Cells only. So, this isn't out of the ordinary for them, and since its first iteration a lot of the Rift has been made up of recolors of shop outfits.
This was Auric cells only, so he couldn't of got it with shards, if he knew he would never of paid money for such, this recolouring stuff has only happened when the rift began it seems laziness and i am not sure i am willing to spend money now, i bought the new elodie outfit but how do i know it isn't now going to be recycled and re coloured in a new rift.
-
@TheMadCat said:
I never checked Billy's outfit... This one is only available with Auric Cells?
One of the Nea's outfit is actually a recolor from an Auric Cells exclusive, so I guess I have my answer... The white top with a backpack and a skate.
It was with Auric cells only
-
@Marc_go_solo said:
Which outfits are these? Because if one was to be paid for and the other free, and the only difference being a change in colouring (especially if the original is an expensive one), then yeah that's questionable!
Uh it was a hillbilly summer one, long like beard, a horse leg as a weapon, floral like shirt, he bought it not that long ago, before the rift etc and with money but now it comes in the rift for free? it's not acceptable esp he has just then recently paid as bug fixes made ps5 more playable due to flickering, 30 pound on two consmetics to very much support BHVR and the game.

@Phasmamain said:
Well you can now have 2 summer Billy’s!
Not the point, if the devs are going to do this well no point in spending money on such.

Elodies hair looks fine and it is something different.

-
Okay people need to stop with this...oh the firth candle looks like this, looks like a duck, crossed up someones rectum, no they messed up there is no obvious 5th candle lets stop batting and realise there is no 5th candle or is the 5th candle my head, i dunno it could be right now.
-
Okay obvs a 5h candle is through the back area and looks nothing like a candle, got it.
-
That looks like a NO.
-
so you calling that a candle? LOL
-
Not straight under the bottom! clearly someone messed up! make it a fith candle like the rest or do it right.
-
if it was meant to be the dbd sign make it VERTICAL! LOL
-
No Orion, it is not a candle and people are trying to make it out as a candle when there are four obvs candle faces, there is no other candle
-
why make 4 obvious candles with faces on it and instead of a mistake people are like oh its under the candle, its white with no face its a candle LOL

Well, someone already pointed out where the fifth one is, I'm not sure what more you need.

...It's the yellow mark under the white wax...
That is no candle! why call it a yellow mark under the candles that is not a candle! do you have eyes! it isn't a candle!

You were literally just told where the fifth candle is. The candles are supposed to be like the DbD logo, with the four vertical lines representing four survivors and the diagonal line representing the killer.
are "suppose to be" but sorry i see four candles this isn't a magic trick clearly someone messed up i see four candles and nothing else
-
There is nohing "peeking out" nothing adding to another candle clearly due to four candles looking like a candle and looking like its in a skeleton hand there is NO 5th candle
-
@Laluzi said:
Was it really necessary to make a second thread about this?
The fifth candle is the killer's sideways tally in the DBD logo. You can see the flame peeking out on the side; that candle is behind the others.
If you didnt want to comment on a second thread then perhaps dont, there is no clear 5th candle clearly there is no 5th candle and they ballsed it up.

Never make Bubba angry? why because he camps? no real news thee :D

I personally love the look of her koi kimono. It looks better than most of her old stuff, in my opinion.
Its more or less the same.....boring.....she has this, she doesn't look all that mermaid to me
-
Sorry correcting myself ditzy brain *s
-
yes but farming happened before this game so I ponder on the history *s....so what is.....entomology.......what does it come from i know what it means but....where is the entomology?
-
@Gcarrara said:
These are the true questions!
I'm kinda curious myself...
From the top of my head i think it has to come from the fact that farming literally is using your time to grow stuff... Be it "plants" or "animals" or whatever you can find in a farm.
So it's basically you using your time to grow/create stuff that can help you later?
Basically what a farmer would do. 😅
But that takes time, energym usually farming is a surv yoinked off a hook so fast!
-
I am saving my cakes! so Mr Mushwin can get points on pc, and well I am fed up of this event and cake stuff already no one gives a hoot it's like battle royal everyone for themselves!
-
Oh god lol i remember playing survivor, thrust right into the BBQ event i had no clue what is going on! i very much played a game maybe two and was like nah, sod this i am out. A nap later i was like nope i am determine, and i really can't recall my first killer game.
-
NO! do not remove it! it's awesome i loved it when it happened, it's bringing the game forward and adding new things it isn't tacky, tacky would be adding some one elses voice like Jenifer Tilly as a voice over for him! lol no!

@JawsIsTheNextKiller said:
Platform: PS5
Description: Screen keeps flashing on all maps (although I never noticed it on The Game map). It seems worse on open maps. Only stated happening from the Resident Evil patch.
Steps to reproduce: Play any open map as survivor or killer. Alternatively, look for any Twitch streamers that are playing on PS5 and you should be able to see it if the quality is high enough.
How often does it occur: flashes are intermittant but this happens most of the way through the game.
Yep, constant flickering, and it wasn''t before the update either.
-
@TheDarkTyrant Question, what is it exactly about the RE chapter that you don't like? what is it that you think the devs ruined? as personally I love this chapter.

You're right, it is me. PS5's are getting scalped all over, and BHVR apparently hasn't made the official announcement for the cease of support of last generation consoles yet.
Unlike ISP's, DBD was sold to me on a specific platform. I do kind of expect to be able to play it on it, or at the very least have forewarning about any upcoming obsolescence.
yes yes my hubbie thought it was before the patch but it wasnt and we tried all our ps5 games its onlu bdb that does stuff and we are watching sreamers and is like well look at your screennnnnnnt
-
I keep having flickering and i see those streamers that do but it doesnt seem to come to light and sadly my hubbie who loves the game and invested a lot of money wont play now due to thos flickering bug
-
if it is bait and it helps the flickering!
-
@justbecause said:
Another bait 😒
what do you mean bait?
-
A thread was made like this but was ignored
-
Has had it happen too and this is before the new patch/update, there is a little flicker on DBD, but well little as it maybe it's annoying, and it only happens on DBD, I have tested other ps5 games and they are fine.
-
Though the real question shall be whom will purchase he?
-
Ohhhhhhhh

I may end up swearing too much lol
