Why in the world are they so scared of blood hunts?
I don't get why BHVR is so hesitant to just give the players a blood hunt during events.. Especially as large as the anniversary event. .. Blood hunts are the best part of any event. It is literally turning on a switch to let players get more bp for playing their game. It is a special time of the year and yet they seem so hesitant to turn it on. Any event without a blood hunt instantly goes down in points for me and instantly turns me off. I am sure I'm not the only one with this opinion either. As I can almost guarantee the forums will be flooded with "Where is the blood hunt" posts because that is what almost always happens when they don't give the players a blood hunt during events.
JUST ACTIVATE BLOOD HUNT. LET CAKES STACK. LET THE PLAYERS ENJOY THEIR TIME DURING THE LIMITED PERIOD EVENT.

Devs: We know the grind is obnoxious, and we'd love to do something about, but there's no way.
Community (agreeing on something for once): Let the new cakes stack! regular Bloodhunts! Let us SELL items we don't want!
Devs: *wistfully, looking off into the distance* Just no way...alas...

It’s always been so strange to me how little they do things like double bloodpoint events or nice codes. Like they made this chapter release a nightmare so they give us ONE extra day for the anniversary event. They mess up the rank reset and give 250K bloodpoints. It’s almost like they don’t realize how little that is lol. The grind is crazy for people who don’t have time to play every day.

Every cake that's been released stacks.

I agree, my Nemesis has not been played yet on PS5 because, even with 3 and a half pages of perks, discordence will not show up even as a tier 1 perk.
A regular weekend per month of double bp would be great to help with the grind, mobile has it so why can't we? All the big events should be a bloodhunt too imo, I don't give a damn about crowns I will never use.

I miss bloodhunts... it really helps with the grind in this game but its been over a year since I have seen one. Where the heck are they?
I do wonder what bhvr's reason is for not holding them? Maybe there is a bug with them?
4 -
Unwillingness, it'd seem.
Cause, lbr: last years post anniversary events were glorified bloodhunts, not special holiday events. If they'd do regular bloodhunts etc they'd have to put effort into the holiday events.

Because the devs won't make as much money from people buying Bubba or David for BBQ & WGLF.

This is why theres no point asking for them to fix the grind. We cant even get a once off fun event for an imaginary currency.
Im at about 1000 hours, have all my killers at 50. I dont bother to prestige since the grind is ridiculous.
I was going to use this event to finally do it for a few killers I think it looks great on like pyramid head, but I was also going to start finally levelling up my survivors. My highest level survivor is 48, ive focused on killers.
Getting a finished build on a killer from 1-50, then all the T3 perks you want, once you have all the teachables can easily get to 4+ million. I bet they even have a system where they know the most popular perks for a killer so they make them take longer to show. A killer I dont want ruin on I will get really easy. One I do want it on will take forever.
With how long RCPD has been inactive, it would be awesome if they gave like 50k or 100k per day so people almost didnt want it back. Take your time at that point! 300k is nothing, I paid real money for that content.

What the hell is a blood point economy?

I don't know, those perks would earn you rivers of bp. May get more people to get them who don't have already.

BBQ is in the shrine and David is free..

not the ones from last year ain't.
They bugged out for a good while and people still wasted them without knowing.

Didn't get him free on Xbox

Wait you didn't get David or Huntress for free on Xbox? Did you happen to get a different killer for free?

I.. I'm surprised. For PS4, we got Nurse, Hag, Doctor, and Huntress for absolutely free
2 -
Meanwhile, on PC, you get Nurse and Huntress but not Hag and Doctor. It's all very bizarre.
I've never understood their unwillingness to do double BP events. It's not like BP cuts into revenue in the slightest (while iridescent shards actually can.) And the grind has definitely bloated over the years.
3 -
Yeah, exactly
0 -
Pretty sure the console editions are more expensive. But huntress and David should have come with the game. Might have to go and download the dlc through the store.
0 -
Hag and Doctor were not "free".
Console base game is $30 that includes Hag and Doctor, Steam is $20 that does not.
Nurse and Huntress were free on all platforms.
Both Hag and Doctor were paid DLC's the very first year on PC BEFORE console was even out.

Maybe they are reducing the grind in the next update?

This is my first year playing DBD, what is Blood Hunt(s)?
0 -
Free for playstation plus, but that's good to know. Thanks. Anyhoo, also thanks for clarifying that Huntress is free on xbox

They want you to keep playing to get bp.
1 -
The longer the grind, the more time people keep playing. The longer people play, the more time they have to be enticed to buy DLC and cosmetics.
1 -
I mainly don't get why the developers don't turn on even a blood rush(1.5 times bp gain event) for the weekends.
It wouldn't "Break the blood point economy" and would encourage people to queue up more on the weekends.
That's along with letting people who don't have a lot time to grind to enjoy the slightly faster progression.
1 -
They're not, they just have no reason to impliment them. So far as they're concerned, and based on their behaviour and not their words, the grind is perfectly acceptable.
5 -
Thats the joke.
1 -
The devs are terrified that if people actually aren't soullessly grinding away for pages of perks, that people will stop playing the game. KEKW.

He is free, just not part of the base game. You had to go into your platform's store and download his chapter. I think you might have missed something.

Says the company that made a Blood Feast back in 2017.
BHVR's flawed logic is so weird.

David and Huntress IS free. You have to do the survivor and killer tutorials now to get them for free.

Huntress and David are free. You have to do the survivor and killer tutorials now to get them for some reason. The bad part is, the devs never mentioned it.

Double BPs for a week.

I.. wow. That makes me really sad. And very confused. I almost don't want to do the bring back the butt hashtag

I personally think the grind is insane. I don't even have half of my characters at P3 and the more and more they add, it just makes it more overwhelming. I realize that's not WHY people need to play but it almost feels punitive at this point. And this is as a solo survivor. It's probably easier for killers because BBQ is much more lucrative, even with the changes to WGLF.

Blood Hunts are a recurring Event that often happens alongside special occasions or holidays. Those Events boosts all Bloodpoint gains post-trial by a specific factor. There are 3 versions of it:
-A Blood Rush is light-version of a Blood Hunt, but with a longer duration. During the Event, Bloodpoints gained during a trial are multiplied by 1.5 after it has been completed.
-An actual Blood Hunt boosts all Bloodpoint gains post-trial by a factor of 2.
-The rarest of them is the Blood Feast. The Blood Feast is an event that currently happened once. During the event, Bloodpoints gained during a match were tripled after the match had been completed. It took place for 4 consecutive days back in 2017.
2 -
PS4 gets them for free, I believe, due to some type of special deal with Sony but Xbox and Switch, you HAVE to do the tutorials. Also, you have to do it, Bro lol. That was one of the funniest posts I've seen since I've been on the forum lol. It made my night.

ah, we're the pricy players

You damn right, we are! lol

That was back when they didn't have as many players, the grind for bloodwebs was even worse, and they actually sorta gave a #########. Now, they have a ton of new players thanks to RE that they're terrified of losing so quickly, so they believe the grind will help keep them around (because their logic is you don't want to stop playing DbD after grinding so much and spending so many bloodpoints building your characters)

Proper 2x blood hunt didn't happend for more than 1 year or maybe even 2 years, I don't remember well. I don't get this too. WHERE is BLOOD HUNT ?!
0 -
because the devs are pretty bad at a lot of things?

I honestly don’t remember the last time we had a bp event,…. I think the last one was last year at the anniversary or was it when covid happened we had a 1.5 increase I think it was it’s been so long I can barely remember, but I think it’s to do with they want people to keep playing the game instead of maxing out characters and not playing

Because blood hunts make the grind bleed out

I hope I’m wrong, but the silence from the devs on this topic tells me they’re not going to do anything about the grind. There have been so many threads and complaints about this for so long, there’s no way they’re not at least aware that a lot of people hate the grind. Given that they are certainly aware of the complaints, they have four options 1) tell us they’ve heard the complaints and they’re going to do something about it (hasn’t happened yet, hope it does happen eventually but I think it’s unlikely); 2) tell us they’ve heard the complaints but explicitly state they’re not going to do anything about it (won’t happen, will piss off community too mucin): 3) don’t say anything about the topic and then surprise us later with a change to make the game less grindy (probably ain’t gonna happen); and 4) ignore the topic and not change anything. I think the last option is the most likely. They know they’re not going to make a change, so they will avoid pissing off the community more by avoiding telling us that they’re not going to make a change to the BP or bloodweb system. I hope I’m wrong, but with the feedback not receiving any public response from BVHR for this long it seems like the most likely outcome. I think the only thing that will force a change here is if they start losing players and revenue
