    At least Mikaela didn't win.

    Also the amount of Copium people are inhaling over the results is hilarious to watch.

    Actually Mikaela had a lot good concepts. I was hoping to get one of them.

    All the better that someone else won then, as i have nothing but contempt for Mikaela in general.

    I don't know what costume you folks talk about but i saw a lot good Dredge costumes as well... If you share this Dredge costume with us, i will appreciate.

    I was expecting Dredge will be winner. Even these costumes are not going to be in rift, they should add them to store. They are so good to waste...

    Congratulations to the winners!

    My favorite is the crow charm, not much to say about it besides it's cute and i love collection crow charms.

    The Clown outfit is good as well, but I'm surprised it won because Clown already has a community cosmetic and my bet was on one of the Dredge ones, also I'm surprised it took a community contest to have this specific concept added because it's quite a popular clown design, but oh well at least we're getting it.

    For the survivor cosmetic, no hate to the artist but I don't really understand why the Yun-Jin skin won. Like, the art is cute and the design is nice, but it really doesn't feel original enough in my opinion, it feels like a bunch of female survivors already have similar outfits.

    As for the killer charm, I also like the concept and the art (and the wordplay :p) but it feels quite redundant with the already existing pustula flower charm.

    In any case, all of this is still better than what I submitted and my opinion ultimately doesn't matter, so congratulations again to the artists and better luck next time for everyone else! Participating and seeing everyone's creations is always a blast, so I'm already waiting for the next edition of this contest (and I hope we don't have to wait a year for it pretty please)

    Just looked up some of the Dredge skins and WOW! One of them absolutely deserved to win.

    They should make it so 4 skins win, 1 set of BHVR selected skins and 1 set where the community votes.

    Yes they did. But that means nothing. They only said that to make it seem like they care to give other survivors something when in reality its the same top 5 survivors still getting something every update.

    Funny, because Jonah, Jeff and Zarina got a cosmetic each within the last 3 most recent cosmetic drops.

    Omg... How this costume even lost :( At least they should ask artist for add this to store...

    Didnt Clown already win before? Seems weird they would let him get another one

  • Quizzy
    Quizzy Member Posts: 862

    And it took several momths for them to get it. And still, kate, meg, nea, feng, kate gets something every update. The survivors who are being neglected currently are david and jake both havent recieved new skins over 6 months.

    Congrats to the winners but didn't clown already have a community win? I can't help but think that survivor design is a little... Underwhelming compared to some submissions that were much more detailed and visually interesting

    Because they're the most played Survivors, therefore they make more sales than less played characters and will therefore more often get cosmetics.

    Point in case still remains however, less played Survivors are getting cosmetics more often now than they did in the past, the past 3 cosmetic drops proves it.

  • BarnesFlam

    And my point still remains as well. They are still leaving out certain characters for a longer period of time without cosmetics. If they keep getting cosmetics like the top 5, then they will be played more often. Yunjin is a prime example of this as her playerbase has risen when she lacked the popularity.

  • MikaelaWantsYourBoon
    MikaelaWantsYourBoon Member Posts: 6,564

    Yun Jin is good example, yes. But then we have Jeff. He got a lot costumes in row but yet, he is still not playing so much. Same goes for Adam as well.

    But it's good BHVR is not ignoring unpopular survivors anymore. They are getting costumes quiet well.

  • Quizzy
    Quizzy Member Posts: 862

    Ive seen jeffs and adams played a lot more than several months ago guaranteed. It still may not be much but its definitely due to the fact that he's a male character anyways. Because i still dont see many felix players overall and he's gotten alot. But he has gained more playerbase tho. That i cant deny.

  • EmmaFrostyEyes
    EmmaFrostyEyes Member Posts: 685

    David already has a ton of cosmetics anway. But yeah dumb that garbage characters like feng and nea still get outfits

    Of course popular characters will always get more than less popular characters, why spend as much money and resources on a whole bunch of cosmetics for characters you already know isn't going to sell nearly as much as opposed to characters you know will because there already exist a demand for you to supply? It simply just makes economical sense.

    You will never see bhvr just straight up disregarding their most popular Survivors in favor of the unpopular ones all of the sudden, they're always going to give the popular ones something for the majority of cosmetic releases no matter what because they guarantee the most sales, been like that forever and it ain't changing anytime soon no matter how much you complain about it, but what has changed is like i said, that they're now giving less popular survivors more cosmetics more often than before.

    Also Yun-Jin already had more popularity than most of the other less popular Survivors by the time of her and Trickster's release.

    Love the Clown skin. Yun-Jin is cute but not really sure it deserved to win. I mean, I'm not saying it's not a well designed outfit, but there were more inventive choices.

    The charms are both well done. I would like Artist to get a crow outfit like that. Like a high school football mascot 😅

    Also bee means Candyman soon right?

  • JustAnotherNewbie
    JustAnotherNewbie Member Posts: 1,941

    I like the Clown, maybe the artist who made it sells it, will see how it'll look in-game.


    Yun-jin I am not a fan off. I thought I saw way more interesting concepts.


    Aslo they should have picked more concepts in general to turn into skins. 2 is nothing.

  • Quizzy
    Quizzy Member Posts: 862

    And yet yun jin was getting just has much cosmetics as jeff last year. She wasnt getting anything. They are just now investing in her. Which they should do for other survivors. I understand its a business, but to neglect and forget your other creations that you worked hard on and have a fanbase is honestly disappointing.

  • DavidHypnos

    I’d love to see an Artist cosmetic where she’s dressed like Tippi Hedren in The Birds but all disheveled and bloody and with various birds stuck to her.

    Not true, last year in august Yun-Jin got her Judge of the Stars outfit as part of the Pop Superstar collection while Jeff didn't get anything, so no they did in fact invest in her last year.

    They are starting to investing in other less popular Survivors this year like i've repeatedly stated, it's why you're starting to see them pop up more now, Zarina in her own collection along with Deathslinger, Jeff in the Waterfront Massacre and Jonah now with the Visions of the Future collection, they might have been neglected in the past where they didn't even get anything, but the fact that bhvr has given 3 less popular Survivors in a row cosmetics after their cosmetic team expanded means they aren't really being neglected anymore as it seems like a reacurring pattern now with cosmetic collections going forward.

    Even the rifts are featuring less popular Survivors more often now.

  • NoOneKnowsNova
    NoOneKnowsNova Member Posts: 2,785

    I'm definitely not in the majority here, but personally I really don't like how that one looks...most of the Dredge skins people have been going on about I dislike in fact.

    This is the only one I found cool, which was better than the Clown skin to be fair.

    Though that's not to say I don't like the Clown skin that won. Infact I'll prolly use it once it's out.

  • KateMain86
    KateMain86 Member Posts: 2,374

    Is there an entry compilation anywhere of all the art submitted?

    I might submit an entry for Kate in next year's contest. I have a lot of ideas I haven't put on paper yet.

    Jeff literally got a prime exclusive and kept getting recolors last year. Both of them were getting crumps during that time. But i dont want to sway too far from my main point here. Which is even tho they have "expanded" their cosmetic team. There are still survivors in the roster that are not getting cosmetics for a long period of time which imo going 6 months without a new cosmetic i deem is too long and is neglectful. And instead they continue to keep giving the same top survivors cosmetics when it should be the ones who havent gotten anything for far too long within a 6 month period. Heck, it could even be a recolor for all i care. And yea, some less popular survivors are getting something now, good. But there are still survivors, 2 specifically from the top of my head i mentioned to you, that are being neglected.


    And i like how you said even the rifts are featuring less popular survivors when although true for haddie next rift. All recolors feature meg, kate, nea and yunjin.

    The problem with any new clown skin is it will never beat Mr Puddles

  • NoOneKnowsNova
    NoOneKnowsNova Member Posts: 2,785

    Mr Puddles is meh at best cause everyone who uses it pairs it with Red Heads Pinky Finger, Gin Bottle and Noed. He has so much better stuff cosmetics too so I'd rather use those T^T

    Forgot about the amazon cosmetic for Jeff, however crumbs still counts as content, meaning they both weren't forgotten about and in fact didn't get nothing as you said they did.

And instead they continue to keep giving the same top survivors cosmetics when it should be the ones who havent gotten anything for far too long within a 6 month period. Heck, it could even be a recolor for all i care.

    First off, unpopular characters have gotten recolors in past rifts and secondly, characters are not required to get equal treatment as others and some Survivors will always sell more than others regardless of how much cosmetic they give them, the idea that giving unpopular survivors more cosmetics will automatically make them as popular as some of those that already are, is quite frankly naive thinking.

    I can also very much tell you that if we go 6 months without a Kate, Feng, Nea and Meg cosmetic, people are gonna complain about that just as much as you are complaining about those other characters not getting their equal attention cake.


    Also let me ask you this, would you rather spend alot of money on a bunch of unpopular characters that nobody plays and risk getting less sales that wouldn't make up from the cost spent on making the cosmetics for those unpopular characters since only they were featured with no popular character alongside them.

    or

    Would you rather spend money on characters you know are gonna sell well because you know they're popular and therefore guarantees that the resources spent on them covers the cost of making the cosmetics for them?

    One is economically wise while the other isn't.


    And yea, some less popular survivors are getting something now, good. But there are still survivors, 2 specifically from the top of my head i mentioned to you, that are being neglected.

    If the latest cosmetic pattern is any indication, they could likely get something at some point this year.


    And i like how you said even the rifts are featuring less popular survivors when although true for haddie next rift. All recolors feature meg, kate, nea and yunjin.

    That does not change the fact that there has been recolors for almost all Survivors in past rifts, even if there aren't any in the next one, that doesn't change that they do still include them in general.

    They do look really good, and it's especially great because they will be in the free side of the Rift. Giving new players some good outfits without needing to buy them.

    My only complaint is that they're a little bit repetitive. Clown winning once before, and also the fact that he already has an Italian-sounding traditional clown look. They'll actually look really great when mixed & matched with each other I bet.

    Yun Jin just got a waterfront massacre outfit released that looks a little similar, but more striking to me is that I'm still not over how absolutely ridiculous that Mikaela workout outfit looks. Yun Jin's is giving similar vibes to that outfit, though not nearly as much. I'll try it with the pants from her Neon outfit and see how they look together.

    No hate to the artists because they look good still, I'm just little confused on BHVR's choices.
