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.

So when are the BP incentives actually gonna get fixed?

I have never seen the BP incentives go higher than 25% for a long time. I think the last time they went too 100% was on a random day and ever since than it's been broken. It has been broken now since the last 2v8 which was almost months ago now.

The que times are horrible too since I have to wait almost 5-7 minutes to get into a match only to be put in EU or NAE servers. I play on NAW servers so I don't know if it's just that.

But Bhvr has not made any statements or anything saying if they lowered the incentives or have been broken. They might as well bring back old BBQ and WGLF since the point of the incentives were to discourage bringing those perks cause of the BP bonus, but now the incentives don't even work and they haven't gave us any updates about it. I just hope they fix them soon because playing this game without an event just feels so dry without incentives.

    There have been tons of posts about this, yet nothing but silence from BHVR on it. Doesn’t seem like they have any plans to fix the broken incentives.

    the only time I ever see it at 100% or more is right when a new update or event comes out and the side with fewer players will have a 100 or 150% bonus for like 20 minutes and then will go back to 25 or 50%. It’s sad because I used to love getting on and picking the role with the +100% bonus and then swapping between whichever the incentive went to throughout my play session.

    I just want my BPs. Why take them away from my perks to rely on the daily incentives which don't work? The BP gains per match are abysmal if you don't bring offerings.

    I only ever see it at 25% for survivor. I could believe it's broken rn but I could also believe nobody wants to play survivor rn.

    Certainly broken for around 6 months or so. Constant 0 or 25% survivor even when survivor takes several minutes but killer is instant. It's very draining and discouraging to play.

    You got it wrong. The role which takes longer is the role which does not need the incentive. If Survivor queues are long, there are not enough Killers and when Killer queues are long, there are not enough Survivors.

    @Topic:

    They are most likely not broken, the Devs just decidd to lower the incentives. Which was not really needed IMO, but to be honest, I did not really care about the incentives in the first place. If anything they discouraged me from playing Killer during the day, simply because I saw the incentive on Survivor and did not bother queueing as Killer, since I got a visual indicator that it will take long (even if I know before that it will take long during the day in my region to get into a game as Killer).

    Right, that is how it's supposed to work. The problem is that killer ques can be instant but there will still only be a 25% incentive for survivor, despite that que being several minutes. This happens on US servers during the evening.

    I guess the incentives are not even dynamic, they sticked them to specific timeframes, but never changed them. So if they were introduced they just checked when more Survivors were playing and when more Killers will playing and decided on fixed times for the incentives.

    But who knows.

    Actually, that makes a whole lot of sense. That's probably exactly how they work. I never thought of that. I thought they were just broken, given the track record of reliability of certain server sided functions of the matchmaking.

    Which wouldn't make any sense, because it's base game currency, not like we're getting free auric cells or something. But greedy companies work in mysterious ways. It's why you can pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows premium currency.
