My thoughts after getting all crowns
First of all I want to thank bhvr for putting the anniversary event just after my finals ended, giving me enugh tme to p3 cheril and get all the possible cakes on my p3 characters.
Now appart, I'm going to talk about the event gameplay and the rewarding system:
The instructions are simple, there is always one pillar to collect, and when certain time (I think 60 seconds) passes or a survivor collects it, a new pillar spawns, and after seeing their different spawns in different maps, I'm sure they have the same spawns as the chests.
The problem is that bhvr made made a mistake, and they repeated the same mistake as 2018's halloween's, some people prioritize finding the crown instead of gens, making it easier for the killer. Most of my matches people tried to farm with the killer, or not, but in both cases some matches people ended suiciding on first hook.
As killer, I only prioritized to find the crown the first matches, some took me 3-5 gens to find it, and then the rest oof matches I decided to play normally and took me more matches but ended finding them by casuality.
How much time toook me too get them all? around 7 hours straight yesterday and 2 today.
Some suggestions I would put in the next hotfix:
-Making the crowns stay more time, as it taks a lot to go around all the map, maybe a pillar spawns at your back where you've just looked at.
-Make licensed characters/peple using a character who has the crown unlocked not being able to get the crowns, since some survivors/killers stole the ones was aboout to take.
-No need to scape with the crown, because as killer you don't need to kill or do anything challenging.
-Make them have a little light over them to spot them easier, in ps4 I can't disable shadows and it's taking me more time.
-Be able to get them from a dead survivor.
-Maybe they make these not exclusive like ones I lost from 2018, so I wish they remain these as second legacy.
That's all, good luck n your matches! And please, do gens!!!!

On one hand I wouldn't mind survivors keeping them on death, but on the other hand it could promote suicides, they should allow it, but put an easy to fullfill condition that ensures they dont screw over the team, not sure how that would look like though.
Another neat feature would be a global sound when a new pedestal spawns. That way you know that old areas may have it now.

I think the logic was to prevent hook suicides after finding the crown, which seems reasonable. Maybe an adjustment could be made where the survivor has to accomplish something else that ensures they've been productive, like making at least 10k in the trial and if they're hooked they must struggle.

I think the best way is to give an incentive to survive with it but still give the cosmetic to anyone who grabs ones regardless of surviving. Like a BP multiplier (x1.3? x1.5?) or just a lot of bonus BP. This way you're still encouraged to grab them for the whole event and you will want to live with it as opposed to just suicide hooking.
Right now an extra 500BP for finishing with a crown aint #########.

The suicide on hook is bad but some people have been playing only to get the crown, hide on the border all map and aim for a hatch escape with Left Behind and a key or Plunderer, making the other 3 people sacrificial lambs.
They could put a bare minimum point treshold, if you get less than 12000 points you dont get to keep the crown, that number or a similar one ensures you get to keep it if you collaborate, do gens, hook saves or totems and it would leave out of it the leeches who do nothing and aim for a hatch.

I got all crowns for killers already, and it took me almost always only 1 game to get it. Only for Hag and Clown I needed 2 matches, because I suck at those killers. I played every matche just as normal, trying to kill all survivors. I collected the crown as I walked past it, even in a chase.
I still got genrushed to obvlion. 5 keys that can open hatch, and 2 seperate OoO squads with map offfering. Everything was just about as always.
Maybe I am just lucky, though.

Possibly a high point requirement like 12k could work. Maybe just giving surviving with it incentive and reward it just for grabbing it regardless of survival.
But yeah something should be changed.

First few matches I wasted so much time looking for crowns against killers that did not want anyone to escape. If I had a nice killer I'd look for a crown, if it was a killer not wanting people to escape I'd just play normal and hope I would pass by one. When I was killer I was just focused on finding the crown, many matches had 3 gens pop before I finally found one. I think they need better spawn points. Some maps everyone was glowing because the crown kept popping up in the open. Other maps it'd be hidden in some random dark corner.
I agree with letting survivors keep the crown if they die. Others had good ideas of survivors needing certain amount of BP or the crown acting as multiplier to keep them in game. While I do agree it sucked when a licensed character took a crown I do think as long as bp is tied to it they should be able to grab one.

I've given up getting the crown on all my characters. I got it on my killers because who's going to care that a killers just wandering around the entire match. But Survivor is just a joke. The second some killers see you have a crown, they go into some kind of rage that makes you know, you ain't leaving with it.
