Is the event worth playing?
Need some honest answers here people. I've been reading all day about the free blood points not applying correctly, crowns being bugged and not appearing in your inventory, bad performance that continues to plague all platforms, the new RPD map being laggy, queue times taking forever, etc.
Is anyone having fun with the event?

From what I've experienced....No. Its not fun at all.

Not really. At least I haven't. I've given up on it.

I just got home and I was looking forward to hopping into the event, but I couldn't help but notice the plethora of issues that gamers have been reporting on. I just cannot wrap my head around how inept BHVR is by continuing to pretend like the game is perfectly functional to launch the event when the chapter is still buggy as hell.

Nope. But it's more the game's fault than the event's.
I honestly wouldn't even be participating in the event if I wasn't trying to finish up the Rift. I don't think all the gimmicks are worth putting up with the jank-overload that DbD's been dealing with since the RE Chapter.
If you have BP saved up, it is a good time to hop on and level up and/or prestige characters. If you want the crowns, you can always do a quick run of the killer cast and nab them without much issue either. Though I personally think last year's crowns (and event) were better.

I can deal with the bugs. Killers playing like ######### has killed any ambition I had to play.

I am legitimately only playing to use all the cakes and get bloodpoints. It's disappointing that the only thing they seemed to fix was the new RCP map from crashing; even then it's still a terrible map gameplay-wise.

I've been having a good time. Every trial has a cake burned, so more BP, and I'm just enjoying getting the new crowns and having fun with survivor (everyone in AU is playing killer for BP and extra cakes)

That depends. If you just want to level up a character or two, it is worth playing it.
If you just want to enjoy a nice event, then don't even bother.

Not really. Both sides are playing for lowest points possible. Killers doing best to prevent survivors from getting crowns, survivors either gen rushing to escape as quickly as possible with crown or quitting so they can just move on to next round quickly and hope for better chance. I'd use BP you have now for cakes and then use them once event is over.

Yeah it seems like if you want to accrue a lot of blood points and level up characters then it's worth it, but otherwise not really. I agree that if you're not having fun, then what's the point?

It's basically just normal Dead by Daylight
If that's worth playing to you, then go nutter butters cause you'll get a lot of extra BP with the cakes. If it is not, the event isn't anything to write home about...

I have had no issues whatsoever. I only really go for 2 crowns and I got those first try and bloodpoints have been fine.

Yeah, if you don't care about event items, BP or crowns then it's just normal DbD. Which is fine to me, if an event has items and BP and free cosmetics I'm happy.

Games leggy as hell and randomly crashes on xbox so yay
My friend on pc has managed to escape a few times only to not get the crown she'd been carrying most of the match
Killers are face camping and tunneling, more so those with a golden shine and then being BM once you die and hitting your body over and over again
Survivors are being more toxic then normal to the few killers trying to farm blood point or just dcing
So yeah going great so far

This is barely an event. There are balloons and you can pick up a crown that you'll never actually want to wear. (Especially as survivor, it's basically a giant HERE I AM sign)
Maybe you'll get bonus BP from cakes?
The only real worthwhile thing is to login every day to get your free BP and shards.
Everything else is just last year's stuff all over again. Remember when they said they were going to make the anniversary event "bigger"?
Also, as a console player, just playing is pain.
FUN.

it's like last years. the fun is in the new cakes and the cosmetics if you're into that. I'm a Quentin main so it's been interesting playing others that haven't unlocked all the perks. Evidently I don't have Kindred on Dwight.
The Goblin RULES!

I'm just here for the Bloodpoints.

The event isn't that great. Beyond the 500k blood point gift, I'd not bother. The cosmetics will be stashed away and forgotten in a few days like the old fourth-year ones. The anniversary cakes are few and far between blood webs while being supposedly the main attraction.
To top it all off, it's impossible to tell what's going the hell on inside matches as half of them want to farm and the other doesn't. Some survivors and killers want to sweat it out in a non-competitive match or be as toxic as possible to those who don't. Some killers are downright terrible at the game and are still face-camping those trying to help them gain more points.
A double blood point month would have been a far better event than this.

I decided to give the event a shot, to see just how bad the lag has gotten (I'm on PS4) and to be honest... It's hardly noticable for me? As survivor though, I haven't played killer to feel the full frustration. Anyway, the only time it has ever terribly lagged for me was when the killer was Nemesis. Then it was teleport city which is making me dread ever coming against him again because I just can't play with the horrible lag he comes with, it's unplayable to go against STILL.
I finally got the RPD map (just once so far tho) and it only had light stutters as soon as you load in but super light - again, barely noticeable. I didn't get to really have the chance to actually play a legit match on it as the killer was farming which was cool, I got to explore a lil bit.
All the killers I've gone up against, only two wanted to farm. The second farming killer and I experienced a massive bug that took away the ability to wiggle out, be pallet saved or flashlight saved. Couldn't even be hooked so the killer DC'D and tbh I would too. There's more killers who don't want to farm than do tbh, they're mostly so sweaty rn to add onto their cake bonuses and BBQ, Survivor Pudding or Bloody party streamers points. It's really just been another average play day in dbd.
The crowns have been appearing in my inventory as I've collected them, I've received both my BP and daily 1k shards.
My only compliant about this event is the lack of cakes to show up in your bloodweb. It's a bit disappointing to get all the anniversary toolboxes and medkits but hardly any cakes.

I've almost gotten 2 full prestiges so far this event while not playing half the day, so its worth the bloodpoints for sure.
