So many threads hating on the devs and the event...

The only thing that makes the event distasteful is there isn't that one exclusive item for the event..... like the donkey jacket and huntress mask... any noob that gets the game for Christmas or whatever can hop on for the first time and buy the skin that I spent time grinding for and this is what almost makes anyone think why collect the serum?

Here ... im only paying for 3 of the skins i dont really play trapper , billy, dwight. .. so ill buy doctor and wraith and claudette apron, and illearn teh huntress skin..

Thanks BHVR for making such awsome skins but i have spent a lot on them already.. i need budget for my system update :P

I posted this is another forum, but it seemed like a good message.

"Well see, no one or very few people will leave, because... It's just cosmetics.

It's not like the game is being tipped off balance. The game being tipped balance wise, perks being ruined, killer buffs and nerfs etc... That is what will get people moving. Not some silly cosmetics.

They are just articles of clothing, in game. I see where you are coming from, and they should be specific to this event, similar to any other event.

But it really isn't that big a deal. They said they would be giving more options, to either grind it out for free, or if you want to show support, you may pay for it, no one is forcing anyone to pay for it, only if you want to.

And that really shows here, and I am pretty proud that they are keeping their word on this sort of thing. And for that I applaud them. But I do understand why you are upset, and while it would make sense that they keep it like other events. It really wouldn't benefit them.

Cool skins draw players in, and once players see "Event Only Skin" I am sure they feel pretty bummed, I know I did in some other games. Exact same experience. Wanted a cool skin, but it was from an event years ago. Which really bummed me out of the game. And these are some pretty damn cool skins. (Personally love the Wraith one)"

Make more than 3/21 pieces to be grinded for...

Are you only able to buy one set by grinding?

Also, when does the event start? I seem to recall today but it isn't up on PS4.

I would have rather gotten nothing than and the costumes on the store than having a super lame event like this 

I don't get it.. maybe I'm misinformed. They added a bunch of cosmetics for the event. From my understanding at least some are available to be ground out in game. How is this any different than the Summer BBQ? Did people think that was lame too? Or is the upset all about last Halloween's event?

Personally, I don't care much about cosmetics. I won't pay cash for them, but if given a way in game I might make a reasonable effort to get them. I am hopeful that the event provides some way to earn extra blood and the possibility of free cosmetics. What else is everyone expecting that is missing from this event?

You guys are the reason we don't get good events. Just cashgrabs hidden as events

Could you point out the past cash grab events?
We get more than ever, but you complain that you can't get everything for free. 

But don't worry. If enough people like you complain, they'll probably never do such a event again and only give us some glowing eye skins in the future. 

We got more then ever?

No proper balance changes again, gentime, SWF, DS, simply nothing as usual.

Instead we get some more skins, and now im supposed to open my wallet and support this?

The shop is the way they ask for our help and support.
Too bad some brilliant minds do not see it.
It would be the same as paying a monthly fee in WOW, the difference is that in DBD nobody charges you anything, nor are you forced to buy anything.

Can we show the devs a little bit of gratitude please? They don't HAVE to give us jack #########. However, they are and I'm grateful for that. Thanks guys!

I m happy that the event is something new but in my opinion it would feel more fair to at least give us 2 skins to grind for because my problem is rather that I'll be done to quick with the event at that point it will basically turn into normal DbD I don't have a problem with them wanting to earn money that is their job after all but I have a problem that they might forget the part of the community that doesn'T spend money on the game or the people like me that love grinding new events for items or new cosmetics

Sorry but so selfish.
Why the noob can't have it in the future ? Are you suppose to be better than him ?
Ppl ...

It's not selfish.. it's only right... what's the point of the grind? You don't have to put in any work at all when it comes to the event just buy the cosmetics... I like actually like feeling rewarded for the grind I put in.. knowing just anyone can hop on and buy what i worked for in game is stupid AF that's why I enjoy the reward of the hollowing grounds 

@kisfenkin It's different because previously the events were free, and 100% of the content was unlockable. This time, 14% is unlockable and the rest is behind a paywall. Yes, there's more content overall, and 3 pieces is nice, but it feels like less.

@FrenziedRoach I realise that there are more cosmetics in terms of numbers, and the ability to get 6 rather than 3 is a great improvement that I'm really pleased with. I'm just trying to explain why to some people, it's less about the number of things and more about the principle of having community events which are free, with 100% unlockable content. The percentages were there to illustrate my point: it may be more items, but it's still 28% (an improvement of 14, as I said) rather than 100%. It's not that people want 21 items for free, it's more that they would much more happily accept 6 or even 3 items if that's all there was on offer.

Oh, my God... You are ready to bow at the feet when you show candy, which in the end you will not suck, but just lure a beautiful wrapper. You probably forgot what they offered at the beginning, they only wanted to give us 3 things out of 21. Precisely 3!!!! It was only after complaints from players about the increase, they added 3 more. What is it? Is that cool? They were originally supposed to do so, not have players and fans humiliated in front of them. Seriously, your arguments about the miraculous event look like an idiot..... Event on that and need to satisfy the players, make them fun, give them a holiday, and that in the end we got? - We got nothing but nerves and psychoses..... These things should all be available for opening on Halloween time, don't you think? Let them do it, then maybe I will say that this is the best event, but for now it is the worst. People are provoked to the negative by this gameplay and the struggle for tubes with plant juice... Skins should not be sold after this holiday, they should disappear completely from the store after Halloween, otherwise this event is a complete fiction, only a provocation to buy. Where the levy is an incentive to waste resources. They want to work on our nerves..... If it wasn't for that, then we could discover all things through effort. For example, after getting 6 things for every next 3 things to increase the number of required tubes at times. The first things on 30 test tubes, second 40, third 50, fourth 60 and so on, this was would reasonably, because ivent will go quite long and sense play further not will, because they simply will lure money. Some games like this attitude only killed, you know what I'm talking about..... Your theme does not show the real attitude of the players to this event.....
