This event hurts my brain

I won't lie I thought it would've been like what last year's was just some challenges and stuff cool they added an NPC but with all these abilities you unlock I'm so lost. The killer can hook you without a hook nearby I won't lie I thought the killer was cheating the first match because I was hooked out of nowhere and well the tricks feel odd to me. Is the event good? It's different but well it's not my cup of tea I'm going to play the modifier for challenges that require it but after that I might stick to normal matches so my brain doesn't get overloaded with so much stuff.

I have no idea what's going on either, I'm just trying to do the challenges and not worry about it.

It's a unique event, for sure.

For anyone confused, here's how it works:

1. There's a global event that takes periodically called 'Bag of Tryks'
   1. This event gives a status effect to both the survivors and the killer
   2. The status effect depends on the image card on the top left of the screen
   3. This global event takes place every time 2 gens, 2 first hooks, or a combination of both are completed
   4. You can see the effect of each status given by the 'Bag of Tryks' in the information screen in the lobby for the event
2. There's also an ability everyone gets, used by pressing the Q button
   1. This ability becomes active and usable once you touch an invitiation (a blue stand with a scroll floating on it)
   2. Once active, you can use the ability freely and it goes on a short cool-down after you do
   3. Both killers and Survivors get 3 abilities from the invite, all activated by q, and all depending on what you're doing at the time
   4. You can raise the number of charges you get to use your ability by interacting with more invites (I think it caps at 2 charges?)
   5. The list of abilities you can use can be found in the information screen in the lobby for the event

It's rather weird and complicated to start, but once you get the groove of it it's pretty simple. Just have to memorize the bag of tryks if you really want to use them well or understand what's happening with them.

Yeah but I won't lie sometimes keeping events simple is nice. Like the Halloween event it's little tricky but you can complete the challenges easily and won't have to figure out what each thing does. Sometimes simple is best since to little the person loses interest example the 5th year with just the same crowns. To much and it's confusing aka this year plus why make a modifier instead just keep it nice and simple a few decorations and just new small abilities by grabbing the invitation nothing over the top I mean what's her face showing up is cool at least.

Pretty much the Killer gets 2 powers that can be used normally:

1. Teleport the person on their shoulder to a nearby hook immediately

2. Break a pallet without actually kicking it (takes the same amount of time but they can still chase around the loop)

Survivors get 2 powers that are common:

1. If you see a blue outline you can create a new pallet (it breaks when dropped but can still stun the killer)
2. Become completely silent and not make any sound or leave scratch marks (called silent mode)

To be able to use any of the powers you have to pick up an invitation first (unless the event gives you one for free). You gain the powers over time with a cooldown on both sides. The different events are:

1. Nothing (called Zilch). Just the basic game no new powers.
2. The eye icon (both sides can randomly see each other sort of like the object of obession perk)
3. The shoe icon (everyone is super fast)
4. The heal/skull icon (everyone is exposed but gets healed after the exposed timer ends if injured)
5. The chest icon (survivors can open blue chests for extra bp)
6. The totem icon (killer and survivors can go to blue totems for 3500 bp)
7. Map with up arrow (everyone gets a free invitation)
8. Map with down arrow (everyone loses their invitations)

It progresses to a new even after 2 major events happen (gens are completed or survivors are hooked. Each one gives 1 progression).

Hope this helps.
