Can we just remove this cap, or increase the amount, 1 million isn't actually a lot of bloodpoints, especially if you've got what you need.

The reason this was put in place was to stop hacking but I'm pretty sure that it's not been happening for a while. Can we just get a cap increase. pls

    Agree.

    At least increase it to 2 million..

    It’s also in place to stop people finishing the dlc characters hour 1.

    I thought it was put in place because people used to hack unlimited blood points.

    Agreed. It can feel odd having to 'budget' your points like 'well I can't go lower than 500,000..but the most I can get is 1 million'.

    I am pretty sure, its a way to keep people in the game. The grind is addicting to many people. And putting a cap on the BPs you have, prevents people from just playing and playing and playing without spending anything. You are in a perpedular circle of playing, and spending.

    I can live with them having a cap. I just wish the cap were higher. Even having it at 2 million Bloodpoints would be better. The grind is crazy, and 1 million Bloodpoints doesn't really get you that far.

    1. It wouldn't matter if that was the reason if you hack them you can have as many as you like.(ik because I got my restore when I lost progress a long time ago, and if the devs can do it hackers can too.)

    2. If you did hack ur save file you wouldn't even really need BP cause you could just give yourself 2,000 of everything and every perk you want.

    3. You can no longer save file hack because your data is no longer client side.

    @Mr_Digi You get barely any shards at all so its not worth it.

    On topic, doubling the cap to 2 million shouldn't hurt too much. Sure, people will be able to P1 any new character but like, then they're back at a low level character without any perks so it shouldn't have much of an impact.

    Spending a shitload of bloodpoints is so satisfying.

    They should completely remove the cap. The other currencies have no cap. Why can't we just save our points? So we don't get a p3 char the moment he's released? That's ridiculous!

    Yeah, the Cap needs to be higher. If a new Character comes out, being able to level him up to level 35 or whatever is not really nice. Basically you are also forced to spend Shards at this point to level further, considering how many Perks are in the game, chances are high that 1 Million BPs is not enough to have a decent Build on a new Killer.

    Or simply change the Grind, then the Cap can stay.

    Doesn't matter. EAC will trigger and they will be banned.

    Agree'd. Increase the BP cap or reduce the Bloodweb grind of letting us buy 2 perks per level.

    Honestly the hacking thing is such a non-issue.

    Perks don't insta-win you the game and the blood-web is so slow and tedious that it's enough of a deterrent by itself.

    Which is irrelevant to anyone who isn’t playing on Pc.

    Which is a terrible argument, not that it isn't valid, but terrible. If the DEVs can go over the cap (Recall the progression loss) where they refunded Millions of BP to players far above the 1 million cap

    Cheaters could easily bypass something so small

    It's real intent is to stop players who have maxed everything already, from saving up millions for the next DLC survivors and killers, so they cannot outright max them out. I personally find that very stupid.


    If not removing the cap, at least raise it. 1 Million BP is what, 38 levels? Maybe more or less depending on what you go for in each blood web.

    is that the reason they put a Cap on BP back in beta i remembered there wasnt a Cap on it or it was like 5Mil.

  • Carpemortum

    Exactly. So remove the cap. Either all spoofers will get banned, or, the ones who dont get banned will exploit it regardless of the max allowable. I'm saying that the only people affected by it are those who genuinely earn and save bp.

    While I would like an increase to the overall cap, the reason DBD even has one is because people use to hack themselves ridiculous amounts of BP in the past. To combat this the team at BHVR implemented the 1m cap to limit these cheaters and make it more obvious to catch if someone cheated several times over to keep refilling that 1m cap.

    They mentioned this a looooong time ago.
