Can the Devs give out bloodpoints for the next ptb?

Ie whenever the next ptb rolls around, would the Devs be able to have either a bloodpoint code that only works on the ptb, or give out infinite bloodpoints, in order to test things out on the ptb?

It's harder to gauge things in a public match without having access to everything, meaning the only good data is that which comes from kyf matches

    They should make all Perks available from the Start and give 500k BPs to each player. This should be enough to do some Bloodwebs to test out some Add Ons as well.

    Problem is that you won't get to test the weaker version of a perk.

    Someone who got to the ptb with fewer bloodpoints might be forced to take unrelenting on tier 1 because they had nothing better and find a bug with it.

    If people had all the bp in the world that would never happen

    I would be happy with even being able to participate in a PTB at all on console. Being able to try out and/or verse a new killer, roam on a new map, and run a new surv before they come out, even in an unfinished state, would lessen the adjustment time after the chapter comes out.

    I agree all tools should be available to all players during the PTB for useful testing. And yes I am sadly aware of why console is excluded from PTB's and will likely always be excluded.

    *Pretending that we wouldn't get that bug in the live version anyway*

    This would be great. It would also be nice since they implemented cross play if us console players got to have ptb as well. I play smite and when they implemented crossplay years ago they still have not given us pts, so pc always has a head start with the new god. It looks like it's going to be the same with dbd PC will learn the new killer before us. Uh and how hard is it to add an in game chat at the end of the game for console virtual keyboard? We have in game for smite, I think they can figure it out.

    But, If your given infinite BP, you could just test the lower tier versions when you get them, and also have access to all 4 perk slots. You wouldn't be forced to spend infinite BP all at once.

    Could eventually pull an ow, and have the ptb active in the live servers to an extent. Chapter is free for a while until locked with the perks/charecters being only accessable in private matches

    Agreed, it's so dumb that I have to guess from what time will they take my live build to save up at least 1 mil bps for ptb.
