I feel like Dead by daylight is just killing the older player base
I have made a post about this before and now i have to go back to it again.
But why are the realising cosmetics from battlepass 1. I see this as just a easy money grab from work that's been done before. Arent the battlepass meant for grind for limited edition skins. It's such a stupid topic to pick up to becuse the people who werent there can be happy to buy them, but the people who grinded just get more and more shut down.
I feel like today when you see a really good skin or cosumetic its not that cool anymore, you can just buy it. The ondly real flex today is the Legasy. Everthing else is eather realised for free or bought in the shop.
But hey, at least we keeps our charms, ffs

People who think cosmetics mean something and are a status symbol of exclusivity.... sigh.
Well, not my money you're throwing into the dev's pockets.

They said when the first Rift was released that the cosmetics were timed exclusives and they would be sold in the shop eventually. We all knew this.
Besides, the rift is kind of new. Thinking that someone is part of the "older" playerbase because they cleared the first rift is hilarious, not going to lie.

You need exclusive cosmetics to flex?
weird. It was explicitly stated before the first rift was released that the cosmetics will come at a later date into the shop. They said it’s at least 6 month but it turned out to be even longer..
there is enough stuff where complains or negative feedback are warranted. This is not one of those.

If anything they are killing off the new players with excessive grind and steep learning curve

It was stated before the Rift was even released that any cosmetics that were placed into the Rift pass would be released after 6 months of their initial release. Considering that these 'new' cosmetics on the store have been in-game since 2019 and have only just been placed in there, these 'exclusives' you had have been that way for over a year.

Nope, never have been.

I don't get why you complain about this topic tbh. If you did grind a whole rift without actually buying tiers you got ALL the cosmetics for 1000 Auric Cells.

Excuse me, what? Do you really need some exclusive cosmetics in order to be able to enjoy the game? What kind of reasoning is this? You get a ######### ton of cosmetics basically for free if you complete the rift, and you get those cosmetics way before everyone else does.
This might have been a valid argument for past events like Scorching BBQ or Lunar new year, but Rift cosmetics eventually coming in the store is fair enough

They said that the Rift outfits would be available eventually when the first Rift released. I wouldn’t be surprised if the devs are trying to do the same with most charms.

Technically it's free because you earn those 1000 auric cells back.

But they are and the cosmetics have less value in the player's eye's.Only problem was scalpers we're racking up on cosmetics and then selling them, taking advantage of the people who missed those opportunities to get them.
This is the only problem ,with having the exclusive items but every player should be able to have something exclusive to separate you from everyone else.

Even with the event cosmetics I don't care if they are time limited or not. I never got the exclusivity argument why the hell should Timmy not be able to get the billy bbq hammer because he started later that seems kinda crappy. Cosmetics are there to expresses yourself this badge of honor crap is best demonstrated through excellent play not a gold glowing survivor or killer. Work for cosmetics you want not for cosmetics others can't get.

How many of these posts do we need about people that either don't remember or weren't paying attention that they have always said they would release these skins later? Charms are a different story btw

Yeah but people literally put on the same thing as you ,I saw a guy with my hoodie ,never touched again.

Could we put up a poll for whether we want cosmetics to be exclusive. I'm interested to see what the player bases opinion is on this?

Your mindset is so alien to me that it makes me wonder if we are from the same species. Do you play the game for the fun of the game, or do you play it the way someone who is six plays with a Barbie or a Ken doll, i.e. to dress them up in all sorts of outfits? Cosmetics are the least important thing about this game. To date, I've bought one; I purchased the Krampus cosmetic for my Trapper. Sometimes I remember to put it on him. Do you get my point? If the cosmetics are what matter to you, there are countless games and simulations where you can focus on that. Some of them do have unique outfits. Go knock yourself out.
As to your overall, silly points:
- This game is upkept by a business, and it costs money. They monetize certain things, cosmetics among them.
- If you want to be special and stand out, become one of the best at this game; throw yourself up on Youtube and prove it.
- Stop wasting our time.

I understand you. It's not that we want be special just to flex, but to show that we were there when it happened.
When I see a Legacy player, I will say "oh cool, legacy, he played the game back in 2016". Like, you are recognized for your efforts in the game, showing how much you played and devoted yourself for it.
I really don't care about Rift skins coming to the store, but at least everyone who completed each Rift could keep something to show that they played that Rift, as a special rewarding for playing the game during that time.

y'know, they could overhaul the daily challenges to give character specific questlines that end in genuinely exclusive cosmetics (and encourage people to try new characters)

Let me guess, you were one of those guys that played WoW and were all about those super rare mounts, huh?

Don't get me wrong, I don't give a ######### about event cosmetics being exclusive either, but I understand that some people might feel butthurt by the fact that they put in the effort of gaining them during the event and then those cosmetics were handed out to everyone for free (key part here being *for free*)
Work for cosmetics you want not for cosmetics others can't get.
Couldn't have said it better myself

I really don't mind these items being put in the shop so people who missed them or newer players can have chance to get them if they like them. I've missed quite a few that I really liked and I like that I have a chance to get them now. And I've payed for the pass and put a lot of time into getting all the items. I really don't mind if much later, they get put in the shop. I like that other people have a chance to get them, even if they don't have to work for them. It's just not an issue to me.

I’m new and I’d like to have some of these outfits because they look really cool. Keeping these outfits forever locked because for the “veteran players” sounds like gatekeeping tbh.

What you're describing are the charms. As far as I'm aware, the charms remain exclusive to each Rift and won't be going to the store.

It's like people don't even read anymore... The cosmetics were obviously going to be added to the store at some point.

Wait, can't you only buy them with bloodpoints or something?

That's what I meant with "keep something from the Rift", even if it's charms. For me the charms are enough, but well you know, they're charms, not everyone will look at your hook/character and look to the minimal details to see it.
But like I said, I like things that shows how much someone spent their life into something, for the Rift it's not that special since everyone can buy it and get the cosmetics, but for limited events, I really think it's important to have, because like again, it shows that person was there when the event happened.

Stop. Buying. Battle. Passes.
As long as people keep falling for this bullshit, more games will keep making them.

1) they announced a "no more exclusives" policy in Winter 2019, with Legacy skins being the sole exception. there will not be any exclusive skins anymore, period.
2) they announced that EVERY premium rift skin was going to be added to the shop at some point in time that was at least 6 months after their rift release when they launched the very first rift. so when you bought a rift pass you should have been aware of that.
3) you paid 10$ (possibly only once, should you have completed each rift) and get a LOT of skins for that money. in the shop, each individual skin costs 10$ alone. so your reward for the grind is that you dont have to buy them with real money, but get them for free with nothing but playtime (and 10$ once).

There is nothing wrong with buying the passes. I enjoy doing the challenges and unlocking stuff in the pass.
0 -
This, not only they said the Rift stuff would be on the store in due time but also the Rift was implemented in October 2019, they are not even a year and half old and the game is from 2016, so much for being the older playerbase...
0 -
They said a while back that the rift cosmetics were early release, and that they would release them eventually. They are just cosmetics you can get for cheaper if you grind. $10 for all the skins in the rift? A good deal. I wouldn't complain, as it was announced that they would be released, as well.

BHVR has been extremely open about Rift cosmetics eventually becoming available in the shop since they first implemented the Rift. Not anyone else's fault you didn't bother to be more aware of that.

You can only buy Rift skins based off community creations (i.e. Elephant Clown, NSS Legion) for Iridescent Shards. All original skins from the Rift are priced to BHVR's discretion. Blighted Nurse is only available with Auric Cells, but the recent 4 skins from the first Rift are available for either Cells or Shards.

They were always going to be sold in the store just be glad that you got multiple skins for less than the price of one.

This. It's sad to see people spending tons of money on VIRTUAL COSMETICS that have no impact whatsoever in the game. I forbid my kids from ever buying battle passes.
