An analysis of the current event.

So the reception to the event right now (the first day) hasn’t been positive on the forums. Infact the mods are becoming overworked with how many threads they have to merge. I’m probably in the pile of threads in there, Hello if i am :)

So let’s see what went wrong and why people don’t like it as much.

So firstly, The Halloween event is iconic to dbd and a lot of older players will remember. The halloween music, the really special lobby and the new items that were given out generously.

I cant tell a difference between the new music and the blight music (if any) they’ve just put some pumpkins around and called it a day. And they’ve over saturated the bloodweb so you hardly ever get any petals.

Let’s get to the gameplay, that was also revived badly. In the 2018 event, we had this totally new, and exciting game play where as a survivor you’d collect serum, and yes it may of been unbalanced, but events are for fun.

Now skip to today. The offerings, ( that are hard to get) spawn in a generator and hook that’s all blighted. And they give you both around a 3000 bonus. This is such bad value. The offering it’s self is 3000 bloodpoints.

The only way you can see the actual petals is by doing the rift, (something that is supposed optional). And let’s be honest it’s pretty lazy of them. It’s just the old gen animations on to the plant.

Now to the best revived things, that isn’t really saying much. But the skins. They’re greatly designed and actually feel like something that belongs in a horror game, and the ghostface one is great that they were able to do it for him.

Yet I can’t ignore that these are basically a glorified collection peice as you can only use auric cells to buy them.

The reason many people played the event was to get these skins for free, and now they’ve taken that possibility away i’m sure less people will be playing by the end of the event.
