Anniversary Cakes Should Expire or be Retired if Unused
There's a lot of people sitting on inventory of cakes, including myself. There is no point in hoarding these items as we only further contribute to the grind in the game.
I believe that anniversary cakes/flans should expire at the end of the year or close to the next anniversary event so to not go unused.
If you really want to keep it in your inventory, it will still stay but should be put under "Offering No Longer Available"/"This Offering Has Been Retired"

No, they shouldn’t. They’re just bloodpoint offerings. The only things that have been retired have been event-specific offerings that change gameplay, or things based around features the devs took out (like the moonlight offerings).
What would be the reason to retire them?

Incorrect, if you've been playing this game long enough, you will have killer offerings (offering that let you play as a different killer) for the trial. These offerings were retired but still sit in my inventory.
The reason the cakes should be retired is that there are many people who hoard the cakes and never use them for the intended purposes but merely sit on them. You can look at other streamers showing off how many cakes they have from past events some in the hundreds place.

I don't see the big deal why these offerings need to be retired.
They are just bloodpoint offerings. It's not a big deal with people chose to not use them immediately.

I mean...why does it matter?
If someone has no intention of using them like you're saying, they'll forever sit in the inventory. Whether they're expired or not, someone not using the cakes still means they just sit there.

Like... really...

EDIT: misread your statement, I'm sure in that regard there's something surrounding licensed killers and content they had to pay for. Otherwise, I doubt it'd be retired.
Who cares if people hoard any offerings? If they're still functional, they don't need to be retired.

I see zero logic used here. If i want to use a year 3 anniversary cake now it literally hurts no one. Same for if I want to just hold onto them. So you want to disable them? What does that do? Except take them away from people intending to use them

You are correct. However, my point is that the cakes were made to be used in conjunction with others as it was intended for celebration of the anniversary event. Even if you are against the cake usage, they should not disappear, but just be held as retired if they really just want to "sit there."

Why would you be salty that someone is hoarding cakes to the point where you want to disable the use of them for everyone? It also can be that you get a bunch of cakes on certain killers you don't play often, so it's not like you're hoarding cakes, you just only play that killer every once in awhile. There's no malicious intent between offering a cake or hoarding a cake. I don't see the point of going out of your way to disable just a bp offering.

Correct, they do not need to be used immediately. My proposal was to have them available until the next anniversary event so you would have an entire year to use them and gather more cakes for future events almost simultaneously.

The gist I'm getting in your argument is "I don't have any logical reason for this, I'm just mad people are hoarding cakes/flans 😤"

Not just licensed killers, I have a couple of Wooden Splinter Offerings that let you play as Hag.
Because they are the same people who complain about the grind but only further contribute to it. The cakes wouldn't have to be used until the next cakes arrive.

There’s no point in retiring them. People save some of them as souvenirs. What’s wrong with that?
Players are under no obligation to use their offerings, either now or in a year from now.

Incorrect, my proposal would allow you to use anniversary cakes until the next year when the new cakes are available. This would encourage people to spend their currency and not contribute to the grind.
To counter your argument, I don't play Myers very much, but the devs have allowed me to sit on over 80 BBQ Invitation Offerings that have not been useable for years.

I must keep ALL of my flan and cakes! I’m saving for the inevitable apocalypse where everyone who’s been hoarding theirs will at last use them and bloodpoints will be plentiful!

I second this! It would make for a much more healthy game.

Incorrect, I have hundreds of cakes that I will be using as I realize I am not helping anyone not even myself by hoarding these. Nowhere did I show any personal reasons for keeping or burning them. I myself don't need them (I am a Legacy player, have everything p3 lvl 50) so the offerings do not help or hurt me much, but there are others who are not so fortunate and would benefit from this usuage.

It hurts nothing to leave them active. What you're saying is that people will willing not use them for the specific reason to make the grind last longer. Once again I dont see the logic
1 -
How about instead of retiring them, it converts them into the newest anniversary cake
2 -
I never said it only applied to licensed killers, I said their decision was probably based around that. And for the sake of consistency, they retired the offering as a whole.
Flans will last for 2 weeks whether people use them or not. Holding onto any offering/item/add-on/etc does not contribute to the grind. You've already obtained it, and it will appear in a future bloodweb regardless of what you do with it.

So in a word... Spite?

It is not that they will not be used, more so that they benefit no one by sitting unused for long periods of time, sometimes years (3rd year cakes are sitting around unused 3 years later). If and when they eventually get burned is not the question, but rather why they should be burned within a year to benefit all players until the next event occurs.

I can't say any specific streamer names, however, if you watch a good amount of streams over on Twitch, there are streamers big and small who will complain about the grind, sometimes everyday/night. When they are choosing their loadouts, you can see dozens sometimes if not, hundreds of cakes in their inventory. It's not just newer players complaining about the grind is my intended message, but also those with more experience/in-game resources.

I am not sure what you're referring to, but to keep in line with the game events and to remain consistent, I believe this would be the best for the community. This includes myself, if I don't use all my cakes they should retire since I have had all year to burn them and was unable to or refused to do so.

hell no

I agree. It's an annoyance to see people brag about not using them.
1 -
Yes I understand your point. However, at the rate they are burned and/or held in inventory unused, the amount of killers and survivors that come out every year require many bloodpoints to max-out even with the reduction in the grind. If they are eventually used is also in the question as there are third year anniversary cakes that sit in some inventories in the hundreds (3 years unused and counting).

Settle down, Satan.

So be annoyed for a few seconds and then move on? Your annoyance doesn’t justify retiring them completely.
I’ll use them when I want to, not when others want me to.

There's no point in not using them, unless you have a plan to use them instead of stacking. There should be a deadline for things to be expired so they get used regardless of what a player thinks. I think the difference between a benefit, and an event item like a flashlight or toolbox etc. Is much different. An offering to be used for bloodpoints for an anniversary/event should be required to be used within the event and expire afterwards because otherwise it's most likely not going to be used because you want it for keeps sake and that's the truth. You have other items to keep as keep sake from this anniversary. I want them to expire.

lmao

Even if you're using them every match you get them faster than you can use them, there is literally no reason to expire them, any character you are playing a lot will have excess wasted points otherwise.
3 -
Sounds like to me you're just spiteful people arn't using them so you want to take away their ability to do so
4 -
It would be very easy to just allow the expiration date to be a couple weeks after the event ends to avoid this type of problem.
1 -
No. You’re just mad that some people aren’t benefiting you by using theirs, and your argument has no basis.
I’ll use them when I want to, period. It’s not for you to decide what the “point” is.
2 -
It's a universal benefit, not a personal offering. It is meant to be used for everyone not just for yourself. Period.
1 -
Of all things to pick at you want to come for the cakes? Come on Mr. Grinch, be more like Marie and "Let us have our cakes".
0 -
Believe what you want at this point, I stand by my decision to burn my cakes and my opinion that those that go unused for the year should be expired for said reasons.
0 -
You will always have cakes, you have until next event to burn them. You will earn cakes almost simultaneously as the old ones expire.
0 -
what, why?
0 -
so i called it. You're just butthurt people are hoarding
2 -
If you call hurting the grind by hoarding cakes, some which have gone on unused for 3 years and forward- instead of going to a better community cause "butthurt" then that's fine.
0 -
You can say “period” all you want, it doesn’t make your argument have any weight.
The devs have already implemented time-specific things. If they wanted a freaking bloodpoint offering included in this, they’d do it.
Your temper tantrum that others won’t stack with you thankfully doesn’t dictate game mechanics.
1 -
The reason they have not done it does not mean it is not planned or intended for the future. A simple "we haven't thought of it yet" also works.
0 -
You literally said period first and I used it jokingly back at you but if this is suddenly the arguement that lives in your head now then I guess you can have it.

I guess the term OP wanted to use was that he thinks the offerings should be "disabled" like the Red Envelopes, Cursed Seeds and Pustula Petals and only be enabled during the duration of the events that they were intended to be user for. It's not like he wanted them to disappear, just not be available on the selection screen like the latter I mentioned.
I suppose I understand your logic, but I don't see any real harm in keeping them. I will be honest and admit I hoard them depending on how the first few matches go. Last year, I used like six of my Sacrificial Cakes only to get the crowns for the characters I played that could get one because the sweat was real and the event was insufferable at best. This year's, thus far, it's going much better so I feel more comfortable using them.

I’m at a million bloodpoints currently, I’m not all that excited about getting more at the moment. So I’d rather use things that impact the actual match like moris or hook distance reducers or the offering that forces the map to be random and save my bloodpoint only offerings for when I’m actually low on them.
There is zero reason for bloodpoint offerings from events to expire. They’ll still grant just as many bloodpoints if I use them three months or three years from now as if I use them today,
1 -
yes I would call it that. Your grind is no one elses issue except yours. You are trying to push to punish other players just because they wont share their offerings. Kind of petty

Ok, if there is an event at your Job,
and you work extra hours, and don't spend the money you got,
would you be fine if they reduced that money you made to atoms?
