Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

The lanterns and the glow effect

What if the lanterns could just be implemented permanently into the game and you could earn the effect through collecting/breaking a bunch of them....

At first I was thinking that the glow/lantern effect/particle effect would be a decent seasonal reward but then I thought maybe this objective could stay as away of players earning and rewarding  something in game.. just change the chinese new year them and implement another..

Thoughts?

    I like using them as a rank reward better. They wouldn't waste enough time as an added objective. The plants we had during Hallowed Blight are what we should add as another objective for survivors. Make them like oil cans or tool boxes you have to go through to work on gens.

    I'd love to be able to obtain it as a cosmetic.

    Theres been a bit of positive feedback for the sparkle so it would actually be surprising if bhvr didnt do anything with it... I would be more happy with it becoming a rank reward as well..

    It would freshen the gameplay up obviously this doesnt slow the gens down but it gives both killers and survivors something else work towards..

    I think they can implement this as a rank reward and as a cosmetic to buy.

    Rank reward should be different and more glorious imo.

    They could do quite a bit with this... I agree just as long as they dont do anything to where it reminds me of DBZ xD the rank reward should be bad ass!

    To give themselves less work to do and make rank rewards they just need to make the rank rewards be cosmetics they already have for sale but just with an exclusive color tint. Super easy and hardly any extra work, just a recolor for a rank reward. They could even sell the glow from the event in the store but make one color variation of it only available as a rank reward. Essentially letting them double dip on their work.

    The Devs likely don't want you to be able to get event points after the event, as that is part of the financial model.

    What type of alternative gameplay-related reward would be linked to the re-themed lamp?

    I'd really like this to stay in the game in some form as well - I love the effects. Not sure if a rank reward is the right way to go - but I'd love to see it as a Devotion reward of some sort.

    A devotion reward would actually be awesome as well... maybe each level you climb you get a different type glow and it gets more "glorious"... yes now that I think about it more devotion would work better :)

    Devotion reward would be awesome as well! Maybe acquiring different colors of the glow the higher devotion you get.

    Out of curiosity do ya'll strictly just mediate the forums or are you able to see ideas like this for example and pass it on to the team?

    I can definitely pass on ideas @Blueberry hence I pay a lot of attention to the Wishlist & Fan Creations sections of the forum. (am actually moving this to the Wishlist section now as well, forgot to do it earlier!).

    I really like the ideas of different types of "glow effect" depending on the level of Devotion, I'd be quite particular to some blue shades for one of the levels. At least it will feel like you got something for Devotion then as well.

    Thanks for the response! It means a lot to the community seeing yalls involvement on ideas :)

    At first when I wrote this post I was thinking the glow/ lantern effect would be a good reward..... like you continue to collect said lanterns or whatever they turn into... the lanterns could be turned into like fountains and you have drink from it to earn towards your glow/sparkle.........
             but through the convo with blueberry and mandytalk the glow deff seems more of a devotion reward which I do agree... the idea of the glow changing and becoming more glorious the more you play is outstanding <3
