Legacy Skins
I think BHVR should give players a way to unlock legacy skins. My idea is to make them unlockable for people who complete 100% of achievements and pay 1 million blood points. These are some of the coolest skins and its a shame they are only available for .001% of the dbd population

I missed out on the legacy skins too but they wouldn't be special if everyone had em
they look awesome

I could get on board with a ridiculous price tag. 100% achievements. 1 million blood points for one piece of Legacy, if that character is prestiged that high as to earn it.
0 -
I play Warframe and that has a skin that's 100% impossible for me to get. Some things are just meant to be rare.
7 -
They should be given out to everyone for free, because they did the same for other event cosmetics.

The devs and og players both agree legacy should be for the ones who were around back then. Ok sure I agree. But how about this: add a new earnable legacy for every survivor and killer after nea and nurse? that way you can still feel exclusive as the og survivors with your legacy that cannot be earned and newer players have a chance to earn some kind of legacy skins that show “I play a lot fear me”. I think it would keep old and new players happy. I also have a suggestion to earn them. You know that useless devotion? Every time you level up a devotion to max you get a token so ex: devotion 1 LV 99
-> devotion 2 LV 1 would earn you 1 token. Each token can be used to purchase 1 piece of legacy cosmetic. I’ve had this idea for a long time and I really want them to do it.

I wouldn't mind Meg's Deathgarden mask.
1 -
Let the OG's have what they earned
13 -
They earned it by buying a dead game? By that logic it should be in the store since it's technically a purchase.
3 -
They Earned it by Prestiging their characters way back when it was a Lot Harder to grind through the Bloodwebs and earn Bloodpoints
2 -
You aint even an og why are you defending it on their behalf? Also I heard there was a 2x bp event so I mean.
2 -
For The Deathgarden mask? I thought it was a promotional item.
I have a second post above that supporting people keeping their legacy skins.
2 -
It is. They aren't paying attention to the thread.
I have the mask, doesn't make a difference to me if other people have it. I'd rather more people have more options for cosmetics, tbh.
1 -
I might like them but I get keeping them special. The early adopters that gave life to this game while it filled in some more content before it hit it's stride deserve something for it. I wouldn't mind them offering things pretty similar but it shouldn't just be a pallet swap.
1 -
I'm not an og player but it doesn't matter what was happening at the time that legacy was available. Having legacy is a really cool thing but it's called legacy for a reason. It shows "Hey I was playing at this time." I think it would be cool to have something similar to legacy that's not legacy for dlcs but I truly believe legacy should stay just for the people who have it. Legacy should not just be handed out and the achievements thing is a bad idea because that means nintendo switch players cannot get them. I play on steam and nintendo switch and I can tell you that Nintendo Switch players can't access achievements because nintendo doesn't do achievements. It would exclude an entire player base from getting them.

I'm talking about the Legacy Cosmetics

And you quoted me, talking about Meg's mask. Quote the other guy.

Legacy skins aren't coming back. Heck, people who lost them back in the day thanks to BHVR's faulty save-file system aren't getting them back either.
1 -
With the promo code system they should be able to give it to console and other PC users at their own discretion if they wanted to be universal just give the code everybody like they did with the bloodpoint codes but if they want it to be more of a limited thing give it away occasionally on stream or occasional prizes on Instagram or Twitter.
Even though I personally would prefer the Trapper mask because I detest Meg
0 -
It would be embarrassing if they released legacy for having 100% achievements lol.
Thankfully they aren't giving legacy to anyone so that's good.
3 -
It became .0001% when people started losing it and BHVR wouldn't give it back.
1 -
Legacy isn't special when 90% of it is hacked and most legit players lost it and never got it back.
0 -
I just want them to make legacy for the other characters too.
0 -
No way you guys don't even understand how bad the grind was when we had to get those I would be pissed if they just gave them out after all this time , It shows I was there from the start helping this game thrive and I like that about it, you see who the true originals are that way
0 -
I have mine and it's 100 percent legit not hacked , it is special because back then it took three damn seconds just to buy one thing from the bloodweb and I'm not even going to get into how much things cost and how long it took to earn it
2 -
I checked that and yes it was harder but not by a lot. Also back then there were much less characters to spend on and much less perks to grind for. so this argument is really outdated.
1 -
Legacy isn't half as cool as most of the shop outfits. Imao it's the case of it's rare so it's cool but if everyone had it, nobody would wear it.
I have a piece of legacy and I couldn't care less if everyone had it but if it would become earnable eventually (which it won't ever, as devs said many times) I'd be happier if everyone just got all of it for free then be force to grind for it.
0 -
Players begged for (and in some cases paid a LOT of money for):
- Past event skins (Howling Grounds, Scorching Summer BBQ)
- Exclusive code skins (Street meg, dweard, chuckles etc)
Now... how often do you actually see people use these cosmetics now that they're available and some of which show at the front page as 'ULTRA RARE'? I hardly EVER see anyone use these skins anymore, even though there was a huge outcry for them. My point is: People only want legacy skins because they're rare. If they were readily available, after a while hardly anyone would use them anymore. Let the players that still have and earned legacy enjoy it, please.
I honestly don't mind other 'legacy' like skins for other characters, but skins that are exclusive should stay exclusive. Otherwise they were never exclusive in the first place.
2 -
no.
that would completely miss the point of the skins in the first place, which was to reward long time dedicated players with something special only for them.
but they should give them back to people like me who lost them.
2 -
No.
2 -
You should be able to earn them. If crossplay didn't exist, then this problem wouldn't matter, but now that console is integrating with PC, the console players that never had the chance to earn it should have a way to earn it. It should be the toughest thing in the game to get, but still earnable... and not through auric cells.
0 -
Didnt you guys get like a double bloodpoints event at the last week for the final push? Also being an og doesnt mean much in the long scheme of things other players could have way more hours than you.
0 -
its only cool because they are exclusive, look at all the previously exclusive stuff that is not given away, nobody cares about a "golden feng" now.
1 -
I dont care about legacy because its for characters that I dont particularly care for and characters that have a ton of amazing cosmetics to choose from already. I do agree that the legacy concept should be available for new characters. Like some event where you play it with only 2 survivors and 2 killers to get legacy for them. You'll have to be careful about who you choose and you cant get them for everybody. Also the challenges will force you to play well but not sabotage the game to complete them.
0 -
I don't have legacy skins and i don't want them back. This is OG thing.
0 -
It does matter because without people like me , people like you never get to see this game it possibly doesn't stay alive and ends up like deathgarden , this game almost didn't make it in the early stages alot of people did ditch the game you should have respect for the people who made it possible for you to play it , also it may have never made it to consoles without people grinding and supporting it
3 -
I think those early players deserve it. They kept the game going and helped it grow.
Look at what they put up with so that the rest of us could later enjoy the game. Genuine infinites, old moris, old BNP. It was insane back then.
2 -
Oh I get it you have a superiority complex. I'm supposed to respect you because you played video game 1 year earlier than me. Yeah no buddy. You didnt do nothing special other than spend like 20 dollars and enjoy a game. That's really all it is.
0 -
I have some legacy pieces
Full hillbilly (sadly he is dead to me now)
Dwight and claudette shirt and nurse saw.
I think they should just give it to everyone because most of the people you see with it just hacked for it... you can't tell me someone with 100 hours is a legacy jake.
0 -
I don't have superiority complex that doesn't matter to me , it's true that the game wouldn't be here without the people who grind it from the beginning because they didn't even expect this game to become as big as it did , the people who supported them made it all possible and that was a gift to us for being there , it's BS to just piss it out to people when it was presented to us as a thank you , does that make more sense ?
2 -
Yeah that's a better way of wording it. I understand why you sont want your legacy to be given out but my event exclusives from summer bbq and bowling grounds were. For free too. Legacy should be a grind to get nowadays and well obtainable but one last time. It's too much contradictions from the devs. I will agree with you though if you and the other ogs werent here the game probably wouldn't have gotten this big.
0 -
The legacy skins are pretty ugly in my opinion, and means nothing to me since half of the players have cheated to have it lol
0 -
Wait, is the Deathgarden mask rare? I thought everyone had it.
0 -
Can't buy a game if it never came out. It's PC only.
0 -
if you give everyone them they no longer have value, they are worthless, i wouldnt mind another variant of legacy like a blue version or smth

I agree with what most people say, saying Legacy shouldn't come back. I want to stress it, I feel it shouldn't come back. But I hate the argument "people only want it because it's limited/event." I agree with the last 3 sentences this guy below wrote, but I don't agree with most of it.
I would argue no one wanted the Scorching Summer because of the terrible skins, but because of the funny generator slushy machines (which is why I want it back, come on BHVR, we want our slushy machines.) Also, I see those skins ALL THE TIME. This could just be 2 different experiences, but I swear I see at least one of those "non used skins" at least once a day on a daily basis. Like, all you seriously telling me you don't see Dweard? From my thousand hour experience, it's one of the 15 most popular head pieces in the entire game (not including Default or Prestige). I still use Leather Hoodie for my Meg, The Studded Jacket (I think it was) is my favorite Jake torso cosmetic, I love Claudette's Retro Windbreaker. I know these are just "me" but I'm sure at least 10 other people feel the same.
There are some Ultra Rare used to be event skins that aren't used, but only because they are bad skins (In my opinion). Nobody like the Lunar Red shirts Dwight, Meg, Claudette, Jake, and Feng have; As I said, the Scorching Summer BBQ skins were terrible; Aside from Jeff's and maybe Kate's, the 4th anniversary crows were terrible (you only use it on them to make Jesus Jeff and one of his Angels, Kate).
Sure, there are some people that only want Legacy because they don't, that happens in every game with limited time items. But to dismiss EVERYONE because of them is stupid. If I had Legacy on the original survivors that have it I would.
- Have Legacy Dwight pants, with his Blue-Gray Waistcoat and Hip Retro Trilby (maybe). I'm not sure if it would look good, but I want to try it. If it's as good as I imagine, it would replace his Brown Pants in that outfit.
- Use Legacy Claudette Pants with her Halloween Blight Apron, and her gold recolor of her silver outfit from the rift's head. I feel it would look neat.
- Legacy Nea's pants (I just realized they are all pants) with whatever I use. Whenever I play Nea I like to be agressive, and I liked her Default pants and the only other option is Prestige and Default. Her Legacy pants is (imo) the best in the default forms of her pants, and would help standing out more.
- Legacy Wraith's weapon (I have his set from the current rift, except his weapon and I don't think I'm gonna get it in time, so this would be the best replacement for it.)
Sorry if this was very unorganized, but I just don't like that one argument in particular so much.

I should clarify, as I actually agree with some of what you said. I don't think EVERYONE wants legacy just because it's exclusive, but I feel like the vast majority of people that DO want legacy skins, simply want them because they don't have already have them. Players for some reason feel entitled to have them. Just like when players felt entitled to code skins.
Below are some past skins previously known as 'exclusive' code skins that were gained from certain events. Mixed in with them are their alternative and freely accessible outfit that everyone can access (albeit they were released later on).
I've purposefully mixed them up so it's more difficult to identify what was previously 'exclusive', and what has also been freely available for years. I personally get confused between the Claudette variety of the 2 skins. The previous 'exclusive' variety of these skins above were sought after - people purchased codes for some of these exclusives for hundreds of $$$. Even after recoloured versions of the 'exclusive' skins above were released, some players did not stop complaining. This is despite the fact that there isn't (IMO) much of a difference between them, except that some of the skins were 'exclusive', and some weren't (and still aren't).
That's why I'm inclined to believe that it is the same situation with legacy skins. People simply want legacy skins because they don't have them already, not particularly because they like the skins. There are so many stylish skins (and not to mention hallowed blight skins) and constant updates with newly available skins to choose from.
Also, you suggest from your personal experience that you see quite a lot of people use previously 'exclusive' skins. But I'm afraid, that's where we differ. For example, I hardly ever see people one of the most sought after 'exclusives' - the golden Feng shirt that people paid a lot of money for (illegitimately, of course).

Firstly, I think I have a serious problem as even though I only know three birthday dates (My brother, Sister, and Mother. Not even Father, who isn't gone still with us, but even though we have been together and still are I still can't remember it), and don't even know my own phone number, I was able to tell them apart instantly (including the Claudette one).
However, that's definitely besides the point, and I understand what you were meaning to say.
Besides that one tiny thing, I agree with the rest of it. I guess you are right the majority of people want it because of it's exclusivity. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is.
Also, I should've clarified even more, all the Ultra Rare/Event cosmetics I see are down below. I exaggerated too much, I don't see them ALL, in fact I only see half of them. Yeah, I was unorganized and didn't clear it up good. Here's the list of those I don't see and then do see
Don't see:
- Claudette’s Weekend Shirt (Claudette – Ultra Rare Body)
- Retro Sneakers (Meg – Ultra Rare Legs)
- The BIG Hat (Ace – Ultra Rare Head)
- The TPGS Hat (Ace – Ultra Rare Head)
- Lazer Bears Victory Polo (Feng Min – Ultra Rare Body)
- Lazer Victory Shorts (Feng Min – Ultra Rare Pants)
- Hound (The Huntress – Event Mask)
- Pro-Pain Hammer (The Hillbilly – Event Weapon)
- Free Song Bird Slip Dress (Kate Denson – Event Body)
Do see:
- Chuckles (Trapper – Ultra Rare Mask)
- Dweard (Dwight – Ultra Rare Head)
- Sharp Mustache Jake (Jake – Ultra Rare Head)
- Studded Jacket (Jake – Ultra Rare Body)
- Retro Windbreaker (Claudette – Ultra Rare Body)
- Purple Cords (Claudette – Ultra Rare Legs)
- Leather Hoodie (Meg – Ultra Rare Body)
- Donkey Jacket (David King – Ultra Rare Body)
- Untamed Donkey Jacket (David King – Event Body)
It means nothing in the long run, but I wanted to clarify that as it did cause confusion.

Then make the grind ridiculously hard for these skins return as well, as someone whos played since launch I don't see why the option they went for was too discontinue them outright.
1 -
