Why even make cakes/puddings?
Why not always make Bloody Party Streamers to share the love with everyone?. Just now I brought a cake and so did 2 others. Feel bad for to 2 that didn't get any bonus. 😔

I once suggested a Christmas addon that gave the opposition 100% extra bloodpoints.
You know, joy of giving and all that.
People didn't really like the idea :(

Because despite needing hundreds of millions of BP to actually max out everything, the BP grind is apparently for some reason very critical to the health of the game, maybe?
It's also there to pad out leveling. The cakes and puddings are the good ones, but then you fill the rest of the trashweb with 900 brown and lower-tier yellow BP offerings to make everything take way longer. Because apparently a super casual party game needs a hardcore grind for no apparent reason, with capped currency to boot.

Cakes/Puddings are cheaper. :P

I can understand why they cap it, but I don't understand why they're against us reaching the cap quicker...

Fun fact
Making bloody party streamers ultra rare would make them more common and make mori's and keys less common.
A win/win for all

...if it makes you feel better, I kind of love that idea.
I suppose everyone is jaded and bitter though so they don't expect their opponent to ever use that offering (and I suppose a bit unbalanced as the killer can offer one where you could get 4 from survivors).

Yeah most reactions were "why on earth would i play that"
Quite the nostalgia bomb actually. That was my first post i ever made on these forums i think

That’s not true. I’ve had more bloodwebs with three-four party streamers/cakes/pudding than webs with three to four iridescents. Actually I may never have had a web with three or four iridescents.

I prefer cakes because burning streamers only to get tunneled or facecamped stings and while its not always it does happen. Thats the main reason I never use streamers as Survivor.

It's not how many irridecents you get necessarily but how often it would be a party streamer.
If party streamers were iri then every iri would be a 1/4 chance to be a party streamer. And with one iri guaranteed to spawn every 50+ bloodweb you'd have a streamer roughly 1/4 bloodwebs at the minimun
As oppose to now where you might get 4 green addons a bloodweb but between all the map offerings and other green addons there's like a 1/28 chance for it to be a streamer iirc

I remember the good old days when BPS were common quality and everywhere.

Cakes/puddings are cheaper and you don’t risk rewarding people that play like an #########.

It's a console thingy. I play on ps4 like 4 hours now, and no one, i mean no one brought streamers, ghastly gateau, or bound envelope. Barely cakes for themselves! After 3 games i stopped bringing streamers. Only cakes for myself.
On PC, i see streams and every game has 2-3 streamers on average.

I wish the company realized if they took away the grind, we would still play. if the game is fun, we will play. We dont' need the extra few hundred hours in place to force us to unlock perks we want. It is a lot and it is not needed.

I would rather a 1/20 shot with ten green chances per bloodweb then a 1/4 shot with 0.5 red chances per blooweb.
Again, I’ve gotten three party streamers on a single bloodweb before.

And you were able to catch all 3 without Entity taking some?
On my webs, if I ever have 2 of something good...she always takes the other... 😔

:( That does happen sometimes but I usually prioritize perks that I really want, then perk branches with addons/offerings I really want, then gun for my favorite scraps. Bloodwebs do have a very predictable movement when you’re level fifty plus.

I think that's an awesome idea.If they're worried their community is filled with inconsiderate jerks they could give a small bp % to the player who runs the offering. Something like "All your bloodpoints increased by 25% everyone else in game increased by 100%"

That actually sounds like a great idea, brings both sides together more.

I also like that idea (as a seasonal thing) -- but as you said, people can get very jaded playing this game.
I've been playing most of the day, killer rounds (I would have normally be streaming survivor play tonight, but my SWF buddy -- we play as a 2-person -- has no electricity due to the hurricane that struck last night). I've been bringing Ghastly Gauteau cakes I'd saved up in every match for the BP event, figuring everyone could rack up some good BP and have some fun in the process.
Instead, I've been rewarded with teabagging, flashlight and locker spamming, people immediately giving up on hook, multiple keys, multiple OOO players, sweaty play, and various levels of BM'ing, along with the usual in terrible matchmaking. I played a round as Wraith with 5 cakes in the lobby, only to watch 3 gens pop in no time flat, had the 4th pop when I finally got a down, and then got triple-body blocked on the way to the hook. That was against a full 4-man SWF, with two streamers (I looked afterwards, which is how I knew) -- 3 Rank 1's and a Rank 3 (I'm currently a Rank 8). I was so overmatched, I felt like a high school football team playing an NFL team, with the bodyblocking at that point to deny me even a single hook (the team was full of BT's and DS's and the last gen, I believe, was 99'ed already, so even if I were a toxic, camping killer -- which I'm not -- I still wouldn't have been able to do anything about it) the equivalent of throwing the football up 50 points in the 4th quarter.
Maybe one match all day did I actually enjoy the game and felt happy that I'd brought the cakes in for the survivors. Even with a number of games that I got a 3K or a 4K (and most with good BP for me), the games weren't fun at all. All in all, I felt like I'd wasted my cakes on people who didn't deserve the extra BP.
I'm glad I'm not playing survivor tonight, as I'm guessing that I'd probably just run into the same thing but in reverse -- bringing in cakes with my friend doing the same, only to watch killer after killer camp/runnel/Mori us all out of existence in one match after another, so this isn't a one side vs. the other thing. Maybe it just feels like events bring out the worst in a lot of players. I just know, after today's shenanigans, I already don't want to play the rest of the weekend.

It would be so nice if BPS were a yellow offering and cakes/puddings were removed. Even if the reworked the effect down to 50% or something. It just feels kind of bad that so many players have to grind so heavily, anything to help would be worth giving the rest loads of whatever powerful consumables they buy with their BP's.
