Like others have said they continue to put less and less effort into making an enjoyable event. They put their effort into creating an event that is essentially a glorified cosmetic sale.

I think this event is an insult to the player base. People already payed for the game and many people buy the DLC's as well as cosmetics from the store and now a battlepass. When the event they release is just a way to sell more skins without making a fun or exciting event it feels that the devs have no care at all for their players.

Going forward I hope the devs try to make events actually feel special rather than a way to sell FOMO cosmetics. However, the trend suggests otherwise.

I mean, there really isn't any other reason besides greed.

I mean they pulled a successful bait-and-switch on their consumers. Their objective to swindle people into buying the DLC worked. I don't think they are going to change the perks in any way that makes them remotely strong. They got their money, and that was the only intention.

That's a good question. 2x BP is great and all, but a lot of people jump on that and farm as much as possible. Farming matches are fine if you're just after the points, but they really ruin the game for people who want to play the game normally. It's normally not a big deal since they're only four days long, but since this one is three weeks long, we don't want it to get in the way of normal gameplay for that long.

god forbid players want to take advantage of double bp to bypass the tremendous grind that is necessary to acquire useful perks. 2x BP should be the standard honestly. The grind puts off so many new players. Whats the point of even having different lvls of perks? It's just an unnecessary grind.

Also if you guys are worried about people farming have you seen what the archives do to people?

As someone who plays a lot of killer I think the breakable walls would be much better used to address the pseudo infinites that exist on other maps. Most good killers should not struggle on shack as it has a simple mindgame. Maze tiles don't need breakable walls because again good killers can mindgame these and get quick hits. Breakable walls make tiles and shack extremely unsafe and way too easy.

in If you are going to bring breakable walls in Killer shack across all maps will leave the game Comment by ThirdEyeGod February 21, 2020

I dislike that she invalidates any build that wants to heal. Usually the gameplan is quite boring against her as well just rush gens and don't cleanse.

Personally, I would love to have Perks which are not tied to a character. Especially some good Survivor Perks, because for the Survivor Side, getting a DLC is always "meh". You get a character, Level it to 40 and will have 3 Perks you dont want to have in your Bloodweb. Awesome!
Also they did not add general Perks in a while - last ones were Thrill of the Hunt and Small Game, if I remember correctly. And this is quite a while.
On the other hand, I dont want to have more Perks, because this would just increase the grind. Giving the opportunity to take 2 out of 4 Perks from the Bloodweb was a step in the right direction and I am thankful for that, however, to equip every Perk to every Character still takes a lot of time.
For Survivor (because I know the number of Perks by Heart): Those are 74 Perks. With 3 Tiers each, which makes it 222 Perk Tiers, 219 in total to purchase (since every Character starts with 3 Perks on Tier 1). Until Level 50, if I always get 1 (or later: 2 Perks), I get 49 Perk Tiers. So when first reaching Level 50, I have 170 Perk Tiers left, if I get 2 Perks every Bloodweb, I still need to do 85 Bloodwebs with roughly 50k BP each, making it over 4 Million BP for each Character to get them with all Perks. It is a little bit less for Killers, since they have less Perks, but not that much.
And if you want to do that for every Killer and Survivor, you have to do it 20 times for Survivors and 18 times for Killers. Thats a lot of BPs. Sure, it is completely optional to do that, but especially as a long-term player, you need some goals.
But the Bloodweb Grind is frustrating, you get a new Bloodweb with 4 Perks which are useless. So you pick some of them, just to be greeted by other 4 Perks which are useless. Meanwhile you are searching for your Perks and they dont come up - like, I would like to play with Iron Will on all of my Characters. But until it is on Tier 3, not worth running. Same goes for Killer, why should I ever use Whispers on Tier 1? This basically tells me that the Survivor is on the Map, cool!
So yeah, more general Perks, not tied to Characters AND less Grind would be great, in my opinion.
But what I would prefer the most would be if they would reduce the numbers of Chapters to 3, and have one update for Balance each year. New stuff is exciting and surely it generates money, and I am also hyped for the new Killer and Survivor, but once this Hype is gone, you see all those issues that are still in the game, from a Balance perspective and technical perspective.

I think it would be really cool if survivors had unique abilities or passive bonuses. As it stands right now there is no real reason to play other survivors. They just arbitrarily assign perks to new survivors so you level them up.

Pointless to argue with the devs cheerleader really.

Yeah, they refused to answer my question regarding the current state of gameplay. It seems that they have a mindset of "devs can do no wrong" which is disheartening as many players have expressed discontent with the way the game currently is.

I feel the current cycle of releasing new chapters does little to address what players have been wanting.
