Personally, I've enjoyed the event; but feel as though there wasn't enough to incentivize me to play as much as I did in the past two Bone Chill events.
Pros:
- Snowskulls were a great addition and added some levity to the game. I found it to be quite effective in breaking tension during intense matches and allowed all players to interact with each other more playfully.
- Rewards process. I did feel like last year's allowed me to engage a little bit more; I did enjoy the community challenges. But this year's points-based progression scheme has been quite nice, in that you get to choose which rewards you prioritize.
- Sweater designs. I really liked the Lyras' and Gabriel's sweaters being more classic "ugly sweater", and am grateful we've gotten sweaters for two licensed characters!
- Snowmen jumpscares were really fun!
Cons:
- Snowmen design. Personally, I strongly preferred the previous years' snowmen design over this year's. While I understand that the devs might have wanted to maintain a horror atmosphere, the horror theme is present all year and I feel the cute snowmen added an element of playfulness and whimsy (high fiving, some variety in appearance, etc.), giving games during the event a distinct feel compared to those during the rest of the year. Also, the new snowmen look a little too similar to the snowmen already present in Ormond in my opinion, so it didn't really feel too out of the ordinary.
- Map rotation. I've played multiple hours per session, and I haven't gotten Autohaven Wreckers once since the event started; and perhaps only got Ormond once, so I didn't get to enjoy the festive atmosphere as much outside of going to the basement, which is a huge bummer. On the other hand, I've gotten some of the other normal maps far several times in a row. I'm not sure if the decorated maps have been increased; if not, I would love for a higher chance of going to those maps during the event. Even if it's for one day, every few days.
- Gen auras. Not sure if it's a bug, but gens being yellow when not being worked on was detrimental to gameplay as killer when not running aura reading perks.
- Blight weapon cosmetic being "free" for auric cell purchase. I understand you're encouraging people to buy auric cells during the event, esp. with the time-limited cosmetics. But asking people to purchase 500 auric cells (minimum) to access a cosmetic piece that would otherwise be 400 auric cells, during a limited-time event, feels a bit manipulative and I hope this practice doesn't continue into future events. Let people buy what they want to buy without asking them to purchase anything else.
All that said, I have quite enjoyed many aspects of the event and thank the devs for all their hard work for the event and for this year as a whole! Happy holidays, and a happy new year ahead!
