Thoughts on the Event

I'll preface this by saying I'm a survivor main, but I play both sides. I am Rank 1 survivor and Rank 5 killer.

I see a lot of survivor mains being pissed about the additional objectives, but I have actually enjoyed having something else to do during the match. I'm all for it becoming a permanent mechanic, provided it gives a chunk of bonus bloodpoints (obviously not the 4k it is now with the offering, but something decent to incentivize it). I think it breaks up the meta and slows the match down to a nice pace.

On stream, they made it sound like it would be a competition between survivors, but I don't feel that it has really been like that. Harvesting together is actually the most beneficial way to gather serum and maximize bloodpoints. I think it works well.

That said, I do hope they will change the ability to harvest these bloodpoints after reaching 30 vials. I haven't seen a statement on this yet, so I'm not sure if they're aware of the complaints or are going to do anything to remedy the situation. I completely understand only being able to earn 2 sets of cosmetics. For the quality of the skins, that's more than fair. But as it is still going on for another 9 days, I would love the opportunity to capitalize on the blood point bonuses. I hope they're able to make that happen.

    I think it's a feature they should definitely implement in the base game as well. However, it should be like toolboxes you have to search through before you can work on gens. Some extra blood points would be cool i suppose. The extra slow down these have added is exactly the slow down we've been needing.

    For the event they need to remove the cap so you can at least keep collecting for the bloodpoints. Also, I don't get why we have to spend bloodpoints to get the offerings to play. I don't want to spend 20min in que with the bugged killer lobbies, but I also don't want to be forced to spend bloodpoints on the survivor bloodwebs just to participate. Lastly, the penalty for dying needs to be a lot higher on the vials. I wait 20min for a killer lobby to fill just to have the entire team DC or kill themselves after they fill their vials.

    I legit like it. I like having an extra objective to do as Survivor and as Killer the game slows down a lot.

    Also more Blood Points...I will never argue against something that gives more blood points. ;)

    I enjoy the change of scenery but the event has negatively affected my game-play pretty significantly. As a killer, lobby wait times are pretty heavy right now. Also, almost every game survivors want to just farm. I don't mind helping them farm every now and then but it just seems DBD has been put on the sidelines while everyone collects juice.

    On the flip side, when you do find a serious game, generators go way slower because survivors are collecting juices. I definitely like survivors having the ability to do extra stuff in a trial. So, when you find a game like this, they are pretty fun and much less stressful for killer.
