The vial grind ...

takes too long ... ?
I mean they released some amazing killer skins (the survivor skins are alrighty) and I can understand they want us to grind it out if we really want 1 or 2 of those but it takes at least 2 games to get 1 vial. That's at least 60+ games in 2 weeks. So in order to get 1 skin we must play 4+ games/day and to get 2 skins it is 8+games/day ... ? That is A LOT.
What do you guys think ??

    Nah its fine.
    1 phial per game if everything works properly, i.e. 60 games for both skins which means 5 games per day

    If you dont have enough time to play the game, you can also buy them with cells

    Grind is fine. What's not fine is that you cannot use the offerings to score more bonus points after completing the maximum vial requirements. So basically, you end up wasting ######### ton of those offerings.

    It's extremely unlikely to get 1 Vial every game

    I just farmed 6 survivor phials within about an hour, killer phials take a bit longer though

    As killer I almost manage that every game.
    As survivor, simply suicide once all flowers are gone and continue.

    Even though it doesnt look like that on the first sight, survivor phials are actually easier to collect because you can basically end the game at any point you wish

    60 vials a day? Or you could get screwed like me and max out a vial on Game 2, only for you to not get credit, and then only get that vial after Game 3. >_>

    Grind is fine for an event that takes two weeks. Should be enough time for even those with less time on their hand to finish the grind.
    The only annoying thing is maybe the way the phials incentive survivor to suicide.

    He obviously bought the outfit. it takes a lot of games to get all 60 vials, I'm happy if I manage to get one of those skins <3

    the amount of serum from survivor to killer seems... One sided. And most survivors wont let you bring them to an event hook, even if you let them harvest there canker. :( I've started slugging people for the rudeness.

    There was a doctor playing at high ranks as the event went live with the new skin. Going to assume some people bought them right away. Probably planned on getting 3-4 of the skins anyway so just bought that one and is going to farm the others. It's not really that hard to grind though. I'm at 26 vials already. 13 as killer 13 as survivor.

    Remember you have two full weeks. All you have to do is get 5 vials a day pretty much. It is a bit grindy. People that are working full-time and can't commit to a day of DBD on their day off will struggle. But remember they were trying to limit it to 1 skin. Which would've been more friendly to casual players. They had no intention of making people grind out 60 vials.

    I have only played a few hours so far, but I already got 18 phials. If I actually was at home today or yesterday, I would have my first skin already too :wink:

    I get 1 Vial or almost a full vial every single game as killer, as survivors its just a free vial every match, load the map, find 3 flowers, get the vial, suicide, repeat...

    The only pain is the lobby times as killer... Making two types of vials was a very bad idea, because they force people to play killer or survivor.

    They should have maked just 1 type of vial with the same restriction of 60 vials max. That way people will play normally. Now because of that most players have the longest lobby times of all times.

    Not really as it helps other survivors grinding and helps the killers to ear there vils

    I got 20 with survivor so far, gonna get 10 more tomorrow then take a break for a few days. I'm starting to hear Myers' theme music and Wraith's ding dong.

    Had that happen! Was worried the vial was perma-bugged or you could only get so many vials a day, luckily not so!
