Great Halloween event? You are happy? - Not!
Hello dear players. Hopefully, the developers will also notice this message with a statement. The problem is this, do not think that I am crying. I share my opinion about this event. You have made an update that cuts badly all the survivors in general, who are currently disabled. The time to heal yourself is increased, you won't find blackboards on the map with windows when you need it, but it's okay, I put up with it. Only here is today's Halloween update that completely killed me .... I personally play on PS4. The game has me and my friends wild sitting in Fps. So strong that 360,180 and fakes do not do for good. About the event itself, namely rotten flowers, I inform the following ... did you try to play the matches completely from beginning to end, where everyone performs his personal task? I think not .... Why was it necessary to invent something new? I'm talking about flowers for survivors! Everyone wants to collect the juice, thus losing time to collect it. During the time of picking up the juice, the killer is already catching one survivor in a good case, and in the bad - two. Generators at this moment in general, no one starts, because they collect the juice. In addition, the survivors still have to look for totems that also do not allow the generator to start, or then will not allow to leave because of NOED! For all the time of the game with our professional team, which we play, we did not run away at once, but I will say that we play excellently. This is not the best result of your event, sorry. You are trying to completely destroy the survivors and break their game. The killer for the collection need only be planted on the survivor's hook they need, when the survivors must perform additional tasks. It is dishonest and ruins the game for the survivors ahead of time! The best thing you could bring in this event is to make a combination of flowers with generators, as it was in past events. Either make the possibility of a general collection. One collects, and juice is distributed to all survivors. A bright example of a good, working system is the BBQ event.
Now we have a disgusting system of gameplay for the survivors, who cannot escape anyway, ng and juice can not be collected, but I’m not talking about Bloodpoints at all ...... I, as a player, received only one big negative from this update and the event as a whole .I just stopped playing for survivors now, but playing for killers, because it’s easier for them, even a stupid fool can win any playing killer. Although initially the game was aimed at a personal skill. But now it’s just an arcade game without a skill. Lags even with green pinging ... An event that spoils the nerves of everyone survivors, not only me. Therefore, all those who have problems with the event, my advice is to play only for maniacs, since the survivors are purposely destroyed in the game ....

    I am very disappointed because of the latest updates. The developers went in the wrong direction. Began to kill a good gaming system. The only thing that I liked was a new kind of blinding flashlight. The game has lost excitement and concept as a level of personal skill.

    I lose all of the time as a killer (especially as Leatherface) and I have more than half of the killers at 50; one prestige III, two prestige II. This is true even at rank 10, but I've been as high as rank 2. The only time I strong as a killer is when I'm playing hillbilly on an open map and playing him effectively can be really hard against survivors that can juke well.

    I can appreciate your perspective, because playing as the killer requires you to tolerate hardship. But, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like you're mad that you're going to have to work harder to get what you want. The situation you're describing sounds like playing a killer on a normal day; personally, I am usually downing a survivor or hooking them by the time one gen pops. By the time a I hook a second survivor there are usually 3 or less gens, and in the worst case, one gen left. Granted hillybilly and the nurse are a different story.

    I don't think you get it apropos. This event has added a new feature that survivors HAVE to do in order to collect vials necessary to get event clothes. All the killer has to do is play the game normally and they will get their vials filled, but for survivors there is the flowers they have to collect plus the gens and if the killer has a hex they have to get totems too. The survivors are multitasking way more than a killer does and with the new patch it takes even more time for them to complete them. So no, you can't compare this to a regular game of DbD, as this new event has skewed everything into the Killer's favor. The devs should have made it like the events before with event generators.

    Do you want a bottle suck it up for once the game is actually fun for a survivor and killer because now killers have ample time in the game to actively catch people and it makes you choose do I be a dick and fill up my vial or do I risk getting none by saving somone its basically free stuff vs bp easy as that expect alot of people to go for free stuff dont help anyone just max.both sides and then try to help or play swf and be a four man team and work together for your vials alternating who's chased and who grabs the flowers

    Precisely. If anything, this just goes in favor of the argument that Survivors need other objectives, like the often-times suggested generator parts or fuel canisters.

    Well, goes in favor of the argument unless you're a complaining survivor-main, I guess.

    Nah, on PC buddy. I don't even own a console. I've been a PC gamer for decades, and at 46-years-old, me and console controllers don't seem to get along too well. Too much of my muscle memory for gaming is based on m+kb

    But I do very much thank you for the offer.

    This event is completely tailored to Killers. This event sucks balls to be honest. I am not happy with it at all. Theres no point trying to do this even as survivor

    No, I get it. But, you're wrong. I've played about 4 games as survivor and 4 as killer, and what I've found is that both are difficult. However, I'm having more trouble getting serum as the killer, because I can't control the placement of the hooks, and I can't control where the survivors run to. If they run too far from the hooks, and I down them, it's unlikely I can carry them that far. Not to mention, the survivors really seem to be getting off on body blocking the event hooks.

    What's sort of worse, though, is that as a survivor, 2 of the games that I played had survivors working with the killer. I was downed, hooked and unhooked in front of the killer each time, while the survivor who was unhooking me just nodded up and down. The killer didn't go after them - pretty ######### too, because I was the only one who had burnt an offering and I had a full vial.

    My survivor experience has led me to believe what I've always thought; there are some really ######### people that play as survivors who don't care about ruining the experience for everyone else.

    Matches are done too fast so Devs gave us a better way to deal with that. Killers are finally getting a helping hand. 4k should be the norm it should be rare to survive, like in F13. Only point to playing that game is to troll the trolls 🤣

    And if the killer wants their full outfit they'll have to pick weeds like you did since you need to max out both sides for the full set/ 3 of your choice

    That's right. They had to make this event similar to the past, but they made it worse for the survivors. Killer and so strong now after numerous buffs and cuts the survivors, so they task a lot easier. Survivors are all in
     the soap from the number of tasks, and then in the end still all on the hook, no chance.
    Do you want a bottle suck it up for once the game is actually fun for a survivor and killer because now killers have ample time in the game to actively catch people and it makes you choose do I be a dick and fill up my vial or do I risk getting none by saving somone... 
    This tactic does not work against good killers, only gives more time to the killer to find survivors who will run at best only one generator.

    In addition, we have parallel problems. I spoke about them in another topic.

    Can we show the devs a little bit of gratitude please? They don't HAVE to give us jack #########. However, they are and I'm grateful for that. Thanks guys! :)
    Oh, my God... You are ready to bow at the feet when you show candy, which in the end you will not suck, but just lure a beautiful wrapper. You probably forgot what they offered at the beginning, they only wanted to give us 3 things out of 21. Precisely 3!!!! It was only after complaints from players about the increase, they added 3 more. What is it? Is that cool? They were originally supposed to do so, not have players and fans humiliated in front of them. Seriously, your arguments about the miraculous event look like an idiot..... Event on that and need to satisfy the players, make them fun, give them a holiday, and that in the end we got? - We got nothing but nerves and psychoses..... These things should all be available for opening on Halloween time, don't you think? Let them do it, then maybe I will say that this is the best event, but for now it is the worst. People are provoked to the negative by this gameplay and the struggle for tubes with plant juice... Skins should not be sold after this holiday, they should disappear completely from the store after Halloween, otherwise this event is a complete fiction, only a provocation to buy. Where the levy is an incentive to waste resources. They want to work on our nerves..... If it wasn't for that, then we could discover all things through effort. For example, after getting 6 things for every next 3 things to increase the number of required tubes at times. The first things on 30 test tubes, second 40, third 50, fourth 60 and so on, this was would reasonably, because ivent will go quite long and sense play further not will, because they simply will lure money. Some games like this attitude only killed, you know what I'm talking about..... Your theme does not show the real attitude of the players to this event.....

    I just run around get my serum and Sabo other survivors.

    Why should I help them?

    Devs forced me to play survivor. That's what they wanted.

    Survivors need to learn that without killers there is no game. 

    Devs have figured it out.

    I don't agree with you. The game doesn't just depend on the killer. There will be no survivors, the killer will run with himself. In this game there was equality before the latest updates and events, and now this #########, honestly. I'm not going to waste my nerves on this game. If the developers do not care about their players, and the main goal is money.

    This doesnt make any sense.

    And btw, if you dont rush the lowers like an idiot and actually use your brain, you can do both objectives quite efficiently

    This event and the latest updates prove that they care more about us killers. 

    If they cared about money they would cater to survivors as they are the larger base.

    I'm stupid? Okay, come to my lobby, I'll play for the killer. I'll show you how much juice you'll take with you. You will take only 1/5 of the juice, there will be a veil at best 3 more generators. Basically, the survivors who play against my killer get a maximum of only one generator and all, then they are looking for a new lobby to play. So you're wrong.... I play both sides and know all the mechanics of this game.....

    Developers, let people get rotten juice at the same time, as it was in past events. Make an unlimited amount of juice for the duration of the event, and do not limit them to 60 pieces. Then you can remove from the store entirely, etc. Don't make fun of the players. People who want to buy new clothes and so it will do, and you are specifically provoking people now.

    Why are you upping this?

    Will you going to stop playing after you've collected 30 survivor vials?

    You need to play both survivor and killer to get all the reward.. So it doesn't matter.

    People going in, extract nectar and die on the hook; they literally fulled their vials with SWF groups in 2 days at PS4. As a killer you need to play the whole match.. As a killer main, I got more survivor vials then the killers.

    Real problem with DbD is; for every one killer main there are 4 survivors talking about themselves..

    Wait...

    Is the previously survivor sided game finally getting worked our to a survivor horror... where its tough to actually survive?

    You bet...

    Not only what OP said, but there isn't enough Putrid Nectar for every survivor, not even with offerings, and the fact that you also lose some if you don't survive isn't a good thing when there isn't enough for all, and considering how much it actually detracts from normal gameplay and wrecks balance even further, it's even worse that you lose some if you don't survive trial. Now putting on top that you only get event blood points if you harvested putrid nectar AND spent an event offering. Consider that you might not even be getting any putrid nectar from an entire, even consecutive matches where you've spent event offering (BP's) to be able to get more blood points and better chances of getting putrid nectar, but one is still not ensured any.

    Basically put.. For the killer to gain the putrid nectar the killer just have to keep doing the killers objective, where the survivors have to deviate from the objective and risk that everyone gets killed in the process or in the end. Not the smartest move by BHVR. It doesn't make it any better that the hooks cannot even be sabotaged, which screws over the survivors chances of removing some of the hooks temporarily.
