I wish they were just honest.
We are not making P100 rewards because there is a lot characters. We don't wanna put work on this because we won't get any money from this.
Btw if you don't wanna wait a year for this cute Feng costume, just buy it before it removed from store.

And its the way every major event this year has had a feng event limited skin. Thats so funny. Yet very predictable of bhvr.

in Prestige Cosmetics Are "Too FOMO To Add To The Game" But You Use FOMO To Inflate Cosmetic Sales? Comment by Quizzy September 28, 2023

I can't wait either! I sure would hate to miss out on paid content rather than a free possible content like p100 rewwrds that's there forever!

But in all seriousness. It's so typical of bhvr to not put effort into something that does not give them money in the end.

Let me start by saying, no disrespect to anyone, let's please keep the discussion civil. BUT I take genuine issue with this response to someone asking about P100 rewards:
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/TM9CX5ZKL0TE/image.png
As I have already detailed in another thread: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/383893/list-of-every-old-rift-cosmetic-not-added-to-the-store-with-pictures , there are like 100 different cosmetics from this games past rifts and other events, not even including legacy, that have left, never to be seen again.
Most of these were never made purchasable or earnable outside of their original window and based on statements from BHVR since, are never going to.
Since the games launch, the store has also been updated to cycle out season cosmetics like Christmas sweaters, which used to be available all the time, until their given time of the year arrives.
Prime rewards added and entire new host of cosmetics where only one, Haddie's, has seen a store release since.
AND finally, the rift was given an entire two extra pages dedicated to cosmetics that will never return once that particular rift goes away.
I don't even really care if they add P100 cosmetics, but how on Earth are P100 rewards, something that any player can earn at any time for free just for leveling a character FOMO, but stuff like the aforementioned magical vanishing rift cosmetics totally fine. There are already rewards for character prestige up to 9, are those not FOMO by that definition too?
If anything the cosmetics that never came back are infinitely more worse because they cost players actual money, either directly in price or to buy the Rift when it was happening. Do you not think the players who maybe couldn't afford the rift back then or maybe didn't even know the game existed feel like they missed out?
P100 rewards wouldn't go away, they would be earnable at all times, nobody would be able to miss out on them, not like the cosmetics that never came back. I am just really confused by the reasoning here.

Because it's simple. Behavior will not commit to dedicating resources that does not require transactional value for them. Why else do think they are OK with limited timed event skins in the shop. Mind you, every major event; lunar, anniversary and soon Halloween, will have had a Feng limited time shop skin for this year

We know how bhvr works. They want money. This isn't new.

First of all, the intention of this post is to explore and gain insights into this phenomenon that I am interested in. I ask you to share your experiences and give constructive feedback. Please be respectful to everyone <3
So, as we all are aware, I'm sure, female survivors in DBD are not just more popular than male survivors, but much more popular. I know that this is not a phenomenon exclusive to DBD, it exists in many other games as well. However, with this post I would like to gain an understanding on why that is so in DBD specifically. Cosmetics play a big role in this, so I would like us to take them into consideration, as well.
As far as I can think, these are the reasons that people might be preferring either male or female survivors:
who they can identify with, relate to, or connect with better
who they find more attractive, and therefore want to see on the screen
who has more interesting (beautiful, quirky, etc.) cosmetics available, as well as more cosmetics in the sense of quantity
who has gameplay advantage - in this case it's the female survivors, due to them being shorter and therefore having better potential for stealth, evading the killer, and (flashlight) saves on their teammates
Based on my experience of watching streamers, as well as other people I'm acquainted with, it seems that a person's gender identity and romantic/sexual interests don't play a major role in this, since any group of people tends to play as female characters.
I am a gay guy, and prefer playing as male characters, because I can both relate to them better, and also prefer seeing them on the screen. However it seems that most gay men prefer playing as female characters. This is what confuses me.
I would like to ask you readers, to give your perspective and understandings on this, on why female characters are that more popular than male ones. Both female and male characters are awesome and deserve love and popularity. And in order for me to able to promote male characters more, and accentuate their value, I need to understand what is causing this disproportional pick rate.
Thank you for reading! I hope that we can have a really nice discussion on this.

Honestly. Its a very complex situation and depends on what type of game genre you are playing. I know hands down that most women tend to play rpgs/mmorpgs games as female characters. And that is boosted more by even men playing mostly female characters there because they can be whatever they want. And its pretty much mostly just a casual style of play.

Now keep that mindset when we transfer to comp genre types of games like fps(first person shooter) and fighting games. Ex: Mortal kombat, Dragonball Z, Smash Bros, call of duty etc. Studies show women actually play shooter games. However, men do domimate that genre due to the comp nature of it and tend to choose male characters. They will lean towards female if and only if there are comp advantages to it. And devs from those know how they will choose and mostly prefer creating and giving more attention in creating male characters over female characters. But that in itself varies depending on those games as certain devs do try to balance that ratio.

Now with dbd. We know some ppl believe it to be comp or just play casually. So i truly believe dbd is a special case that attracts both sides. Which is why our community always fight each other tbh lol. You have casual survivors, be it straight or gay, male or female player, that play survivors they simply feel comfortable with and have more skins. And it usually goes towards the female survivors of course. Then you have comp survivors that will skew it towards female survivors even more since they hide better and most are quieter than males. Skins arent a high priority over gameplay. But it does help if the skin gives them an advantage. And by advantage, in comp terms, im not talking about just helping in hiding. Some comp survivors do like bright colored skins because most are chase oriented and want to be seen.

I think part of the reason newer skins are rarer to be seen is that all of them are auric cell only for some time. I for sure am waiting for plenty of pieces to get shard availability to run them as the quality in general is pretty damn good recently - though design-wise they are obviously hit-and-miss but they are supposed to appeal to a broader audience after all..

Exactly. And this is why the top 5 survivors mostly get skins especially during timed events like the anniversary with feng in order to compensate for the auric to shards system they placed like a year ago.

in Can we talk about how costume quality gone down so badly? Comment by Quizzy September 26, 2023

I for one favor David King always. The pinned post on this forum perfectly explains why. But from my experience, his 2nd tome actually did give me the courage to come out myself as well to my family one by one. It wasnt easy, but eventually they accepted me. I never would've imagined a fictional character from a video game would lead me to make a life changing decision like this.

I also favor his redemptive qualities of being altruistic and loyal to his close ones. That resonated into my playstyle as well which makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone in the game regardless if i sacrifice myself for them. He has a variety of different cosmetic choices which i hope one day he gets a rugby skin. Overall, david definitely has and always will be a personal favorite of mine.

in Who is your favourite Survivor and why? Comment by Quizzy September 25, 2023

@WatersBTW said:
There was this big song and dance put on after the community realized Haddie, Jeff, etc. Weren't getting skins at all. But it seems like instead of realizing why the community got upset, they just came out with a couple new skins and it's back to business as usual. As a Singularity main, I am appalled by the lack of attention given to my favorite robot. He has a massive amount of possibility for skins, like, why haven't we gotten an original Hux-A7-13 model skin yet like we saw in the tome cutscene? I know the answer, it's because no one plays him, which sucks. But why did BHVR announce their cosmetic team expanding to fix this exact issue if the issue isn't being fixed? They just added Haddie into the roster of characters that now get skins, not fix the issue.

The only thing u can do is hopefully try to gather up the singularity fan base that u have and continue to let it be known about your concern. Because it really doesn't matter in terms of them continuing to pump out new skins for the top 5 played characters nearly every update when they have increased their cosmetic department. They need the money desperately.

in Where did the focus on giving skins to EVERYONE go Comment by Quizzy September 25, 2023

If haddie hive can pull it off, I'm sure they can too. Even then nobody still plays haddie even when she's getting alot of these skins. So I see no reason for singularity fans to try.

in Where did the focus on giving skins to EVERYONE go Comment by Quizzy September 25, 2023

Personally for me. If a killer is tunneling me hard, i just let them win and move on. They want it so bad, might as well give it to them. My self care is more important and i hope to get a better match where the killer knows there is another person behind the other screen and not go out of their way to make it miserable.

in Why should Killers play nice and fair? Comment by Quizzy September 23, 2023

It simply depends on your playstyle. They may have the same effect, but they will cause you to play in dfferent ways. Thwack gives you a more precise info, with a specific condition to be met, on a survivors location with the aura reveal unlike ultimate weapon. The latter does give more info with no effort, but a scream alone wont help you predict where the survivor will move without the aura reveal.

But i do agree that ult weapon is obviously stronger tho. But every perk that may have the same effect still causes you to play slighlty different.

in Why do they do this to perks Comment by Quizzy September 22, 2023

It really depends. In the games im in, i usually try to get your attention to prevent you from tunneling someone if i seen you done it already. Lack of skills usually leads to desperate dirty tactics to win.

in Survivors who want the killers attention Comment by Quizzy September 22, 2023

It just takes time. Especially when they have to get other platforms especially console to get the patch approved. If it doesn't make it, it'll just go to midchapter. Which for me, I had a big problem with ultimate weapon making ppl scream in lockers. But it's fixed in midchapter. Same for fast vaults. They do what they can with the limited time they have

in I find it ridiculous how the hotfix for this week only had 2 things. Comment by Quizzy September 20, 2023

I know alot of people will pick the typical feng, nea, meg etc. Dare to be different. Im just gonna be honest here and i hope i dont sound too pushy. If i do, I apologize. But i would definitely just read up on basic lore on every survivor on the menu. Thats the best start to connect with your character. At the end of the day, these survivors are just skins with same stats etc. But they just look and sound different so go with anyone of your choosing.

For me, I chose david as my first main because his lore and characteristics is built around team play and confrontational encounters which is my playstyle. Lately ive gone towards gabriel more now because sci fi is my fav genre and more or less looks like me. Overall its your choice.

He got tome and a lot store costumes this year. He is doing pretty fine. I believe BHVR is happy with his costume sells.
And i am seeing him pretty often in my games.

You do? Wow. Not gonna lie. He's pretty uncommon in my games like vittorio. I swear, i didnt see many even when he had the greek collection. Obviously cause it was linked. Seen only 1 play with it at the time. I seen a bit more obviously from deadly games but more so from thalita(so many thalitas i have seen wearing her new skin). But i still dont see many of him like dwight or even leon level. I even see more ace than him and ace hasnt gotten a skin since....wow several months
