Hallowed Blight Event is Tilted toward Killers

@Wolf74 also if your comment on the other post was that you thought this post was intended as troll bait that's not true at all. This post was about my first impressions of the event, which have changed over the course of playing it. I legitimately just like to have conversations about this kind of thing.

You do realize you have to play both to get all the vials for 2 outfits? You are basically complaining that half your challenges are too difficult.Did you not see how many hooks equal one vial for killer?

I agree 100% with this post. I main Pig/Spirit and this event is extremely tilted toward killers. Any given day 1 survivor would escape me almost every match at either 2 or 3 generators left, now I'm killing entire parties at 4 to 5 generators left. I feel really bad when survivors start pointing to the Petals and asking me to extract them. It's so unfair, and believe me...I LIVE for a good slaughter but not like this. You can't compare 55k points per match to their 20k. I honestly feel bad for survivors this event.

100% support. One-sided dumdum developer's I tell ya. Had a game dealing with 3 survivors giving away my position and the killer sitting at the hook. The 3 survivors sitting next to the killer, boosting much? Reported all 4 players, better see them getting banned or account reset.0

The base game is Killer-sided during the event, sure, but the event itself is Survivor-sided.
Survivor: Spawn. Hunt for cankers. Extract as much as you can. No more cankers? Suicide on hook. Vial full? Suicide on hook.
It's easy to farm the event as the Survivor.
Killer: Spawn. Hunt for survivors. Chase the Survivors around half the map. Down the Survivor. Pray you get them to an event hook. No more hooks? Have to wait for gens to finish and everyone escape, or spend a lot more time and effort killing them. Vial full? Same thing.
Killers are stuck in a match for its entire duration and that duration is longer because gens don't get done until after all the cankers have been drained / vials have been filled.

110% what @Nos37 said ^^^
After 4 hardcore, sleepless days (with work, of course), I finally finished the Killer vials earlier today. Started on Survivor side about 6 this evening and already have 22 Survivor vials. Has to be about 1/8 of the time. Super easy, I can't even believe it. There may have been one game where I didn't get a full vial filled, and that was one where I was the only person who used a Pustula Petal. I can get 2 full vials on Survivor in the time it takes to load a lobby for Killer right now... not even stretching that.
Although I have noticed one thing: As Killer, I was being very kind about Survivors getting their fill-up. Even went around letting some lob me with pallets for BP (so I could break them, too, of course). It was a nice change of pace, a 180 on your standard grind. It was long and drawn out, excruciating really, but I had fun. Probably the first time I've shared enjoyable conversation in the after-match chat. Now, as Survivor, earlier in the evening I was getting the same kind of treatment from Killers I'd given throughout the event, a sense of respect for the ooze... but after midnight, things got ugly fast. Almost every game since, I'm facing Killers who are trapping cankers and slinging ya' on whatever hooks are near or even to the basement. I would say most are done with the event, have no plan on playing Survivor side, and are now just giving it 110% again... but some are still packing Agitation and Iron Grasp combined, so I'm bumfuzzled. LoL All that, decent Killers going full bore, and still getting vials filled (pretty much) every match.
Is the event Killer biased? By the nature of the event itself, yes. Is the event Survivor biased? In practice, oh yes, certainly so. It only sucks that I'll have to go back to Killer after this so I can continue to enjoy the Pustula Petal BP boost... that's the only thing I have found as a downside on the Survivor side. Comparing that to the lobby times and the time it takes to actually get 1 vial filled for Killers, oh Survivor vials are SO EZ mode right now.
Regardless, I hope everybody is able to get their farming done and have a great Hallowed Blight!
Quick Edit I REALLY wish I hadn't gone so easy on Survivors as Killer. The Killers this early morning are tryhard AF! Trappers, Hags, and Myers, boom boom boom. Still gettin' those vials, though!

Honestly, how many?
6 (six) is required. Unless there's 4 offerings burnt every game, it requires a maximum of 3 games (provided you hook survivors at event hooks every game) for a single vial.

As a survivor I"ve completed 30 vials in like 15 hours after the event was released (including sleep). You can basically do 1 full bottle per game so its pretty easy from my point of view.
As a rank 1 killer I had to wait 20 minutes.. again 20 minutes to get into the game and then if 2 people skip offerings = only 5 event hooks = you dont even have a chance of filling up 1 bottle. And then wait another 20 minutes to get only 1 hook that counts into your event progression.
So when it comes to BP grind killer wins but when it comes to vials survivors have an advantage of being able to fill up their bottles in a single match (most of the time).
This event is unfortunately poorly designed.
Some sort of a fix for both sides would be to let survivors harvest 1 full flower for 1 offering after they finish the vials.

Yeah, in case people missed that I modified my opinion:
Killers have it harder getting vials, but survivors have less chance of surviving due to it being a secondary objective. Also, survivors cannot continue to actively get bonus bloodpoints after getting all 30 vials and must rely on other people still being able to harvest to get any bonus bloodpoints. That's my main issue with the event at this point. Not saying killers can fill it quicker.
