I'm super pumped for the archives, the rift and the mid chapter collections (BHVR oraise)
to break from the flood of angry people in the streets of the realm of the entity, I am really really REALLY excited for all that juicy content, this is the healthiest thing they could have ever done to the game for a couple of reasons:
THE ARCHIVES ARE THE MOST CONCRETE LORE YET and a source of game time
not only do we get something to do which isn't "get chased with this character you never use for 3 bps", we get a reward that not even auric cells compare; actual lore.
We can finally get some answers! Some concrete information and even some pictures to check out on the characters past (maybe some "origin" clothes for killers where they look like their PRE entity days? Here's your idea mr BHVR)
THE Rift is the partial answer to burnout
burnout is terrible, when you really like a game so much that you end up not liking it anymore, it really does suck.
With the rift however, we finally have a partial answer to the burnout problem DBD suffers from
sure a pseudo battle pass is gonna be another riot fest in some people's eyes, but if it includes super awesome clothes as tier rewards + game currencies like bps and iri shards + challenges to complete to earn tiers it might just be the thing DBD was looking for.
MID CHAPTER COLLECTIONS
they are just cool, everytime a mid chapter patch comes out and with it the collections, it feels like christmas, seeing all the cool designs and stuff; it's great.
that's all ok bye

I agree, archives will give you a “reason,” to play when you don’t feel like doing it just for ranks or BPs.
2 -
Are the rifts only available on the PTB? Or will it be live?
If its on the PTB. .. I dont give 2 shits lol
0 -
Agreed!
Cannot wait for this. It will be like a breath of fresh air in DBD.

I really hope we get some truly great cosmetics this round. I've been underwhelmed by the last few batches.

I'm so happy to get more Lore! I want Legion Lore!
1 -
the rift won't give you bloodpoints or iridescent shards, this is not a pay 2 win game.
0 -
How getting something ingame is pay 2 win lol
0 -
..... You don't know how this works do you?

Im very exciter for everything coming, im just really hoping the rift isnt too expensive. Ill be sad if it is :/
0 -
Right now nobody really knows how this will work. If you can buy tiers in the free track...

I'm extremely excited about these no offense but besides new chapters for the first few weeks and events this game is extremely stale
1 -
I am extremely hyped for it! :D
I never played ptb myself and just watched others but I might actually join it this time so I can check out everything myself
0 -
Yep, hyped for it. I am always up to some goals while playing. Gets me way more excited than the ST Chapter (or basically all the content since Plague, since I am fed up with licensed Characters atm).

I just want a new Legion cosmetic.
Considering they got skipped over for the Halloween event.
Sadly I doubt we'll ever get maskless Legion.
Since Joey got the cosmetic last time it would be nice to see something for Susie Julie or Frank
1 -
I want an UwU mask for Legion
A OwO mask for Ghost Face.

According to leaks, everyone who plays the PTB will receive 2000 Auric cells (PTB only) to try out the Rift. If that translates to Live Servers as assumed, it puts the price for the Paid Rift Track at $20.
0 -
That's great news, at least for the temporary cells thing. They did a similar thing when they released the Store on PTB, I was wondering if they'd do it this time around as well.

wait so you mean the Archives are free and reward lore but not BP ?
Is there a discussion that clearly state what are the Archives and what is the Pass because it's really confusing.
0 -
Ah yes... the new Lore, the new dailys, the new EXPERIENCE!
I can't wait also...
1 -
I can't point you to a discussion that clearly states the rules and intents of the Archives and Rifts, but I can try my best to explain them to you.
The Archives will be a series of Challenges related to specific in-game characters that when completed will reward a variety of goodies such as Lore cinematics, Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards, and a new cosmetic item known as Charms. Presumably the harder the challenge, the better the reward.
The Rift will be a two sided rail track that offers rewards such as Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards, and cosmetics for Player play time and level. That would be the free side of the tracks. It lasts a limited season.
The paid side will require money to access and will also last for a limited season. As far as we know It's rewards will be better cosmetics than those found in the Free Track's rewards. We'll be able to see all of this for ourselves tomorrow on the PC PTB.

ah okep ! thank you for the explanation ! Do you mean that for example some challenge will require you to play a certain survivor ? Because i know i saw one with Trapper. Maybe the challenges will depends on each players and the DLC they own as it would be stupid to ask them to mori a survivor with Freddy if they don't have the DLC to do so.
Also you talked about Charms , do we know yet what they are ?
0 -
As far as I understand it, each series of Challenges will be tied specifically to a character. So of you want lore or and rewards for Claudette, you must play Claudette. Same should go for Killers considering their different powers. If any lore is to be made for Freddy (Doubtful), you'd have to play Freddy to obtain it.
Charms when found in the files of the game at the beginning of the year, were cosmetic items related to the Archives. You unlocked them for doing specifically difficult challenges. For Survivors, they took the shape of objects that hanged off their waist. For killers, they took the shape of objects that hanged off of Hooks. This might have changed between then and now however.

Can't wait.. Oh... I have to due to being a ps4 lover 😢🐷 also do I really have to put my pitch folk and fire stick down? 🐖🔥 Sorry just loving the the craziness of the forums getting a little carried away 😂🐷

Could be possible that the extra auric cells are just to buy some tiers. Most battle passes mostly are priced around $10 to 15 having it be 20 seems like a massive ######### behaviour so I hope that's not the case but who knows
0 -
I haven't played the game almost at all since they announced archives back during summer because I was so hyped for the battle pass/archives and was really disappointed with the virtually zero summer content. I am incredibly hyped for this update and plan on playing the game a ton. It finally adds progression that I'm interested in
1 -
I want some good cosmetics for Feng and for Susie.
Archives is the only thing i'm excited for this patch.
0 -
I was excited until I seen the price. Tut tut, this is a paid game, greedy greedy bhvr. Have we not given you enough?
1 -
I'm really looking forward to the archives. I want to learn as much as I can about Dweet's past.
1 -
This is the push I needed to prioritize this game. I want answers to this world! I want to know I'm working towards something, which burnt me out of this game in the first place! I didn't want to grind my ass off 24/7 just to get a character to lvl 30!
0 -
What are the midchapter skins?
0 -
Very exciting news indeed can’t wait for all of it, officially quit the game like a week ago cause of the toxicity.

Thanks

Price of what? The archives pass or whatever it is?
0 -
Archives, hell yes.
Rifts? Behaviour can kindly go ######### themselves.
Why they feel the need to add a "grind out more games than you would normally play to earn something you dont really need for "free" every month" system is beyond me.
Oh wait. Money.
Because if they wanted to "give us free outfits" they would. Or theyd put them in the archives. Not add a ######### battlepass to leech off our wallets.
0 -
Then don't buy it, its not required
0 -
I'm not going to.
My point isnt that I want it for free. My point is that they're greedy little shits acting like they're doing us a favor by giving us "cool new #########" when cosmetics already cost $10 a pop.
They're turning into a lower class Blizzard.

Its called supporting the devs

Wanna be friends? o3o

Thanks for sharing this with us, Matthieu.

And I do. I buy every DLC ( except st) and at least 60 bucks of cosmetics. I've "supported" the devs with almost $200.
Stop dick riding behaviour. This isnt supporting the devs. Its them getting greedy because they know people with FOMO and extra free time (or some who dont and procrastinate actual responsibilities) will give in and pay them whatever they ask.
0 -
And you don't wanna spend 10$ on rifts, but you spend almost $200 on buying the game, purchasing everything but ST, then spending $60 on cosmetics that don't help you
Something is really wrong about that

I am flattered that someone thinks I'm the god himself

@Carpemortum At least Blizzard games work properly and aren't the same bugs for years on end.
If anything, BHVR is coming off as a poor man's EA.
And I'm with you. I've spent a decent penny on DbD. I have disposable income. I'm the type of player that doesn't mind spending on games. Hell, I own all the statues for Overwatch, and just pre-ordered the Mei statue.
I'm not giving them a dime for the Rift.
1 -
I was worried when I saw a response on here then I realized who it was.
You're right, blizzard's games work, but their cosmetics and pets are ridiculously priced.
I love the game, and support the devs, but like i did with rocket league, i lose a LOT of respect with them implementing a battlepass. Its unnecessary and greedy.
I dont mind spending money. I just bought a vinyl of the Bloodborne ost and the stupid priced hunter statue to add to my From Soft setup. But I wont spend on petty greed tactics. I'll buy a Sharkcard before this lol.
0 -
I bought the DLCs to have new content, and as YOU said I should, support the devs.
I bought ~$60 in cosmetics for the few characters I DO play. IE Pig, Kate, Legion. Yes, I paid for Legion and cosmetics.
I wont spend $10 (per each new rift, dont forget) for cosmetics for things I dont want, to maybe get ONE for someone I DO play, under the guise of "its free/cheap cosmetics", when in reality it's a way to keep people playing longer than they normally would, WHILE charging you money, instead of actually giving out the cosmetics. Either free or earned in weekly events/daily challenges.
It's a cash grab. Pure and simple.
1 -
@Carpemortum It's more than just a cash grab.
I noticed something about the challenges on their Archives/Rift page. The Mastery Challenges will require specific Perks to complete. Those Perks will be available in the Shrine the week the Mastery Challenge releases.
For Vets, that's a non-issue. For new players, or players who didn't grind all the Perks yet, it's a subtle way to force those folks to spend their shards in the Shrine on Perks, instead of saving them for cosmetics here and there. It's a disguised way to push that segment of the player base into buying even more auric cells for cosmetics, since they were probably buying some anyway since 9,000 cells for a cosmetics isn't a fast earn for them.
But now, to complete some Mastery Challenges, they'll have to dump those shards into the shrine.
Remember, I was debating making DbD my main game due to Overwatch burn-out, but was waiting for the Archives/Rift into to see the practices involved.
Nope. It'll remain a side game . . . a very, very side game now.
To be honest, some of what I have learned today is actually leaning me toward a permanent uninstall and no longer giving another dime to BHVR. Just like I don't touch EA games anymore.

I was wrong about the price. It's $10 like most other battle passes featured in games.

sure! I like friends!

Oh im sure shill accounts are by nature on many video game forums. There are also shill DBD Twitch streamers. I won't name names, but she is pretty, and has zero personality.
