Let's turn the basics of this event into a regular thing

Said it before, but as the event is now *as an event* it's very lackluster. But as something that would happen every/every other weekend, it could be great.

Have it every (other) weekend that special stuff (hooks, gens, totems) spawns that gives extra BP, items that multiple BPs for everyone.

Maybe go as far as to have things spawn that give out shard and on very, very rare occasions a small amount of cells.

Sure, it would need new animations for killers, but I think it'd be pretty neat, would encourage people to play.


(and, before anyone says 'no those greedy sods won't ever give out cells for free'... people would be more likely to buy cells if there'd also be a way to gain them ingame through playing. fact)


EDIT:

Made a little rundown what would be needed. (also, mods, could you move this to Feedback & Suggestions?)


Eventtime: Every (second) weekend, Friday 11 am edt or pdt - Monday 11 am edt or pdt

Specials bloodweb items: A new stackable item with the same effect as bloody partystreamers that in addition increases the spawnrate for a special item/chest on the map.

Special items on map: During the event there's an increased chance for special hooks, gens, chests and totems to spawn. These come in three categories:

  1. Bloodied: Spawns commonly alongside regular hooks, gives additional bloodpoints
  2. Nightmare: Spawns rarely, gives additional shards
  3. Eldritch: Spawns very rarely, gives additional cells.

The hooks can be sabotaged, but respawns faster, regardless of potential addons. both hooking and sabotaging give the respective rewards. (once)

Damaging a gen as killer gives the same rewards as repairing it as survivor (once)

Special totems can be relit by the killer to give the bonus (can be cleansed again)

Rare item spawn: you can bring the aforementioned offering to increase the chance of spawning a special interaction item that gives a higher amount of either shards or very rarely cells. Works similar to the anniversary crown that it switches location upon having been interacted with. Maybe even have a chance of giving a special cosmetics.

The cosmetic could be either a 'Crown of Fog' like a dark foggy version of the 4th anniversary halo, or a kind of hooded cloak, or duster or coach man coat that looks like it's made from fog

Thoughts?

    Maybe but they can't give out this much shards or everyone would own every non licensed character in the game by just logging in

    They can give 2000 every 2 month no one will say anything right now they give for "free" 10k as apology for not having an event this year .

    I was thinking about something like the flowers spawning that survivors and killers can interact with that rarely gives out shards (which you also earn through leveling, after all), maybe up to 100 in some cases, usually less, and on extremely rare occasions give out cells (maybe 10 or so)

    So you'd have to play basically 24/7 the whole weekend to get enough shards to buy all the things.
