Why is the event so boring?

Killer queues take forever, you get into game, and a gen is done before you can even reach it. Everyone is playing hide and seek and I've even had survivors who just refuse to play EGC and leave. I bring cake, I play nice, I don't tunnel or camp, why am I getting 40-75k bp per game? Why do survivors bring 4 cakes as well but then speedrun haddonfield? I was so looking forward to this event, all the cool crowns, and the bp farming, but something changed and suddenly it's not a good time. I've gone down 2 ranks because I'm over here playing nice and merciful while the gens just fly... what is going on?

    Well whenever players are presented with BP, the ability to get free cosmetics (Crown, pustulas) it tends to go a few ways. Either everyone plays to the best of their ability in order to ensure they meet their goals (Afterall you have no idea what the past few matches could have been for them), everyone plays super safe, people want to farm, or people just simply try to get in and out as fast as they can this is for both killers and survivors


    Some people can even get caught up inbetween a game spree and not realizing how far ahead they are against their opponent(s) in this round because of past match history


    Its all a number of disconnected and connected factors

    That's what I've been doing, at the cost of ranks it seems. I feel lucky to black pip, hell a pip up would be amazing.

    Events are always like this unfortunately, this year has been one of the worst tho.

    Had a Twins player camp Crowns with Victor and people have been overall lame.

    I'm not even worried about crowns this year, just hoarding my items and event cakes til people learn how to be semi civilized.

    It's because this is a recycled event from last year. This one is even worse because of the release of Nemesis bringing back old players who may have left as well as the state of the game right now. I'm not saying play sweaty, but it is a fine balance. I know a lot of survivors want crowns on all of their characters and often play as a team, which is making things more difficult for killers right now. All I can say is get your crown, and just play. Don't use your BP offerings yet - stock them, save them - and wait till August.

    Too many survivors feeling burned by killers playing scummy. Which leads to killers playing scummy to build pressure to avoid gen rush. Which in turn leads to survivors gen rush so as to avoid the camp/tunnel. Rinse and repeat over and over.

    A lot of people have had the opposite experience where the killer camps, tunnels, and slugs at 5 gens.

    The question is also the answer: it is, in fact, boring.

    An unfortunate consequence. But it is better than going through the usual grind, so I would say it is worth it.

    A special event isn't going to change how people want to play. In this case, they probably feel pressured to perform, so they're performing pretty hard. It's up to the players how they want to play. Just do what you can to enjoy as best you can.
