This event is poorly thought out and incredibly one-sided

First game as killer in the event.

First 1/3'd of a vial was easy enough. But both hooks were on the same side of the map. And crazy enough, these hooks only work for one use. You can't reuse them

Down a 3rd person... the remaining 2 hooks in the game are on the other side of the map.... well ######### me. Normal hook it is then...

Thankfully I was able to herd them to the last 2 hooks.

I dunno man - seems to even out to me. Especially given we got a bunch of Killvivors cluttering up the cue times for us.

Only thing we go the advantage on right now is the point generation - and it could be argued that's fair given we have no way at all to keep our addins between rounds other than the odd Black Ward.

Please, I'm almost halfway done with my survivor vials, getting nectar as killer is a pain in the ass. 

i second this.. i got a full vial playing survivor almost every game expect like 3 or so ..i collectd all 30.. now i have played like 10 killer games and im still at 6.. Killer is much harder since it takes 6 hooks to collect a vial and that too if survivors allow it. they will jjust run farther away form hook if u dont farm and die there so even with iron grasp and agitation i cant reach it.. so i have to yield and let tehm farm.. if do end up killeing of them early ther other 3 will just play very stealthy.. which is even more waste of time..

Killer games do endup with a lotof bloodpoints at the end than survivors but it takes much longer to collect vials as killer.

In my opinion the thread createor is hitting the nail on the head. A lot of people have their vials full already and its been 1 weekend. This event is supposed to run for 2 weeks. If survivors can't get anything out of their offerings anymore (or hardly anything if they're lucky) then they will at the very least stop playing offerings and a lot of them will switch to killer games. From what I'm seeing in streams, its hard to fill a killer lobby already. Think one week ahead. The problem will only get worse.

why not play killer once you have your survivor vials done?

ppl that 'main' either killer or survivor are the cancer of this game.

It takes 4 times as many survivors than killers to fill lobbies. The more survs switch to killer (what they likely will) the longer it takes to fill lobbies. You rather wait around in lobbies than play the game?

Not sure if someone said this or not... Didn't read all the responses.

Once you fill your vial you don't gain anymore bonus points for hooking survivors on event hooks.

So once you fill all your vials... Will you still be able to fill vials?.. I don't think so. So you won't be able to get any more bonus points for hooking on event hooks once you fill all 30.

So same problem for killers? Well, that decision just sucks than. If I rembember correctly (and I'm reasonably sure I do) in the other events you could still collect the extra bp when you had all the coins (or whatever). Why would they take that away...

Agreed with OP this event is complete trash....killers have the already existing objectives modified so they just play the game normally but have to get to specific hooks THAT ARE MARKED FOR THEM. Meanwhile survivors have an EXTRA obj they must do now that adds literally nothing to the completion of the match....in my last 15 games I've had 18 completed gens, me doing at least 1 in most of the matches. 90% of those matches had at least 1 person that would either suicide or sandbag the rest of the team after filling their vials up. Event encourages people to not actively play the game...

The cosmetics arnt even worth the time it takes to farm them and the game is, in essence unplayable for people like me who dont care about the cosmetics because literally only like 4 other people in 15 games have even cared to try.... Literally may as well not even play survivor until after this even comes to a close....

Literally trash 1 sided event for sure....At least with the experiences i have had since it started....

Btw. The devs said before the event that they wanted to try out adding bonus objectives for survivors to slow the game down and avoid gen rushing.

This guy is legit arguing against something that would only benefit him. Some people really deserve everything they get in life

A crap ton of bloodpoints, amazing cosmetics for free, and a great event with almost no flaws? You flatter me way too much good sir.

That doesn't even make sense lol. How does your brain work I dont get it.

I don't understand what the issue is here? Why do so many killers have an issue with survivors being able to continue to harvest flowers (without getting extra vials) after their initial 30? Can survivors participate in the event for its entire duration too? Killers can continue to get their 5.5k point hooks after they get their initial 30 vials, so why cant survivors? Is it just that they are the other side? We can't all have an enjoyable time?

Because then you're stealing nectar from survivors who still need it because you wanted a few bloodpoints, which is incredibly selfish and unnecessary for the event.

Then once Killer's reach their 30 vials they shouldn't get anymore bloodpoints from the event hooks then.

I take from your comment, that you haven't finished your killer vials.
Maybe not even attempted. 

What's so hard about it for Killers? You have nothing extra to do, just hooking people. That's it, no running around trying to find these stupid plants, no fighting with other Survivors for the plants. The event hooks cant be sabo'ed because Killers apparently threw a fit because we could sabo the previous ones. So tell me, what is so hard about this event for Killers? Hell you're even getting extra time to kill the Survivors because they are so busy fighting over the nectar that gens dont get done. 

I'm going to preface my answer my stating that I'm a survivor main. I started this event playing as survivor, but then decided to switch to killer for reasons I will touch on below. I also started out thinking that killer was going to be easier, for the same reasons - guaranteed hooks, no nectar loss, and no competition for harvesting. But counterintuitively, that's not how it actually plays out.

In my experience, killer vials take 2-3 times longer to get, in terms of games, than survivor vials. As survivor, you need about 2 and a half plants to fill a vial. So if you're the only one that burns an offering, there are still 3 plants on the map, which means you have the opportunity to fill a whole vial in one match. If other people burn offerings, that makes it easier. Sure, sometimes you won't get your vial, especially if you're unlucky enough to get found and chased before you can harvest and others get to the plants first, but the point is you have the means to do it. Most of the time, I'm able to fill a whole vial in a survivor match. And once you fill the whole vial, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, you still get to keep it, so the losing nectar mechanic doesn't come into play very often either.

However, as killer, you alone are not responsible for your ability to fill a whole vial. When I play as killer I almost always get all the event hooks, but the problem is, there are typically only 1-3 offerings burned. That's fine for survivors, but for killer that means it's literally impossible to get a whole vial in one match, because you need at least 4 offerings burned for 6 hooks to spawn, which is the amount you need to fill one vial. Just your own offering plus the two defaults is not enough, unlike above when playing as survivor. So you're reliant on survivors to burn offerings so you can get nectar. I have yet to get a killer game where I filled an entire vial in one match, simply because there are never enough hooks.

On top of that, it's going to get easier for survivors as the event progresses and more people complete the objectives. If other people have finished their harvesting, that means you're going to have less competition for plants, which means filling a vial using only your own offering and the two default plants becomes increasingly viable. However, for killer, the more survivors complete their objectives, the less they're going to burn offerings, which means you're going to get less event hooks and it's going to take longer to get vials.

And that's not even mentioning the fact that more than 20% of people are playing killer right now, which means extra long queue times. I can't speak for everyone else, but because it takes so long to get vials I don't even care about killing survivors. So it's more a hindrance than anything that they're too busy geting nectar to do gens. I just want them to open the gates and get the hell out of there so I can get into a new match and harvest more nectar.
