Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The Lack of Player Cards/Badges on Release is Unacceptable

This is a truly, utterly unacceptable release to a new feature in the game. The fact that despite releasing the new player cards and badges feature in the game, there are currently no earnable badges OR player cards, and the only ones that are in the game right now have to be purchased, just feels like a slap to the face to the general playerbase at large.

I think most of the playerbase would have been fine if this feature was delayed for about half a year or more just so that there could have been a plethora of new content in these forms to either earn or possibly purchase.

Now I can't criticize this feature without at least giving a solution that can be done in record time and can keep the playerbase at least wanting more. So I really urge you guys to take this suggestion:

Earnable Character Badges

All icons of Survivors and Killers can be earned as badges by doing the following for 10 total matches:

  • Escaping as that Survivor.
  • Getting at least a Ruthless Killer as that Killer.

In addition, players can earn the artistic renders of every Survivor and Killer (see above for example) by getting that Survivor or Killer to Prestige 10.

Earnable Player Cards

(Example not to scale)

Player cards for a character can be earned by performing specific actions with that character:

  • As Survivor, you must perform any of the following actions 20 times, with each action counting towards the goal:
    • Unhook other Survivors
    • Heal other Survivors
    • Repair Generators with a teammate
  • As Killer, you must perform any of the following actions 50 times, with each action counting towards the goal:
    • Use your Power to injure a Survivor or afflict them with an exclusive status ailment
    • Hook a Survivor

Other Badges and Player Cards

In addition to the character-specific badges and playing cards, the following options can be added:

Bloodpoints Badge

  • Earned by completing the Tutorial or having owned the game for at least 1 year.

Iridescent Shards Badge

  • Earned by spending your Iridescent Shards on any cosmetic or perk in the Shrine of Secrets.

Auric Cell Badge

  • Earned by either spending Auric Cells on a cosmetic item in the store or a Rift Pass.
  • Alternatively can be earned by reaching Iridescent I as a Survivor or Killer.

Entity Player Card

  • Earned by escaping after 3 other Survivors have already escaped as Survivor for the first time.
  • Earned by killing all 4 Survivors as Killer for the first time.

Realm Player Cards

  • Earned by playing a specific map at least 5 times. This will not apply to every single map in the game, just a specific map from each realm.

And this is just the bare minimum, with little to no new assets being required for these to be implemented. Again, I think that this could have waited months and there should have been some player feedback as to what should have launched with this feature, but now that it's launched, the currently lackluster state of the feature needs to be amended with something soon. Even something as simple as what I've stated above should suffice.
