Bloodpoint Changes and Player Retention

One of the biggest hurdles for newer/more casual players is "the grind". But Turtle, theyre going to reduce the grind by 75%....problem solved, right? I dont think so.

It sounds great on the surface, and for players that already have a lot of hours in the game or those planning on putting a lot into it, i think it will be. That doesnt really do much for newer/casual players, tho. If we want the game to grow in a healthy way those are the players we need to retain. Combined with the announced removal of BP bonuses from BBQ/WGLF, which effectively cut your BPs in half, i think that could spell disaster. Dont worry, ive got a solution.

Id imagine most people use BBQ/WGLF solely for the BP gains, i know i do. But we dont want to be tied to a perk just to feel like were getting decent BP progress. So heres my suggestion...make the BP bonuses basekit, with some tweaks.

Killer: get a 25% bonus per 1st hook on survivor, up to 100%. Once a survivor is dead, you can no longer gain stacks. This would encourage killers to go after different survivors and maybe reduce tunneling a tiny bit.

Survivor: basically stays the same, get stacks for safe unhooks/protection hits, but without the full safety of BT. You could also add in something like 'doing a total of 100% gen progress during a trial rewards a single stack. Can only earn 1 per trial'. Just to give players a little more incentive to do a gen.

I think these changes would be good for everyone, but it would especially help out the players that dont have 100s or 1000s of hours in the game.

    It's the right decision, DEVS think about it

    Sadly I think that this grind increase is 100% intentional and many players will fall for it.
