How to make the Halloween Event actually scary!
Bring back old Ruin! Just during the event though. Better yet, combine old Ruin’s skill checks with new Ruin’s passive regression. Oh the horror!!! 😱
Ok ok, I’m joking! Kinda….
Would this be ridiculously OP? Hex: Yeah Man!
But it would also be hilarious! Anyone who joined after the Ruin change would have their mind - and gen - blown!
I get it. In action this would probably Ruin - ahem - the event. So this thread is really more of a “what if” type thing.
Afterall, Halloween is supposed to be scary for normal people (ie survivors), but the monsters (killers) are stronger than ever! Right?
And no. Before the accusations start flying, I’m not some killer main begging for freebies. I’m one of those annoying 50-50 players who isn’t happy until I’ve told you I’m a 50-50 player, so yeah! As you can likely tell by my rambling, I’m really just sharing some game-related musings.
Well THAT got awkward fast!
…….
Ummmm, ok, bye

An event would be more terrifying if terror radius was removed from all killers.

They should also make NOED active for 120 seconds after every gen completed, que in the horror 😨

If we want scary we could have devour hope start with 3 stacks. I mean it's only a matter of time before a bug does that anyway

Ok I think you guys are really onto something here! Imagine the fear-fest this would induce!
Hey BHVR, you could play it off as an event-related bug that unfortunately can’t be fixed until the event ends!
Also, all grabs need to come with a blaring, sharp sound effect on the survivor’s side. 😈

Just make killers able to mori like tombstone myers and remove hooks.

Switch character models so its 4 killers running from a lanky stretched out survivor.

That would make stealth killers (including Michael, who should always be around on Halloween) pointless, so I would ratter prefer a new add-on similar to 2020's Blight Serum that could temporarily give any killer the ability to become undetectable, and killer who already have that power (like Pig and Ghostface) would get something else from it (like Blight gained 1 aditional rush token from Blight Serum). It could be an add-on that only worked once in game for the sake of balance, I would be fine with it as long as I could jumpscare people with unusual killers.

It'd be scary how long killer queues would be, for sure!

They could also work a bit harder on Killer skins, instead of coming out with cartoony /seasonal stuff. Gimme something actually creepy! Its not that hard...
*cough*

I must say, the length of those claws is quite consistent with my actual in-game experience! Lol
Seriously though, nice artwork!

That just sounds miserable. Going down to a Bubba that I had no idea was coming for a spoopy hehe silly event sounds really unfun. Maybe you'd enjoy it for the first few matches, but that would get old very quickly.

BHVR stated that they would only focus on two events a year: Anniversary and Halloween. Sadly, all this extra focus did for the Anniversary event was give us more balloons and cakes. In other words, don't hold your breath for any new ideas.

Atmosphere would be nice. A change to the lighting, the old moonlight would be nice. The rays shining through the shack like in the Pinhead intro, that looks beautiful.
There are more and more daylight maps being introduced which takes away from the atmosphere.
Talking of daytime maps, aren't survivors supposed to be dead by daylight?

Yess this would be so fun, I hope they do this!

I think for Halloween day (oct 31st) they have all killers undetectable, thick orange fog like silent hill 1 (or the sideways from fortnite if your familiar with it) on all maps and maybe instadowns for 1 minute after all gens pop, maybe they could do something crazy every weekend in October and combine them all on Halloween day

Add jumpscares and other horror aesthethics and make the maps look spookier during the event

Thank you

Yep can't wait to Play Ghostface and Wraith during that event

Hola Bubba, yeah basically were doomed

I just don't get it. What's the point in announcing that you're only going to focus on two events a year, and then not do anything remotely different? Why not inject some fresh ideas into these events? It only lasts for 2 weeks, so go crazy!
1 -
Fresh ideas at Behavior? You're funny, these are the same people who thought It was a fresh idea to nerf Billy into the ground. An then Freddy, and We'll see who's next. But like they obviously have no idea what to do with these events even though they LITERALLY HAVE A LICENSE CALLED HALLOWEEN!!!!

If you want to make the game scary. Add loot boxes. That'll make a lot of players scared.

But think about it, you can finally walk at full speed with Pig. No need to crouch!
But for real, I would prefer a terror radius is constantly neutral map wide during the whole event. That way my precious face of Ghost wouldn't be left out.

That's getting pretty fancy I'm not sure they could handle it.
They said less events but better and nothing changed.
They hock dlc and skins and only fix the most game breaking bugs. Balance adjustments mean a new perk as a preventive measure when you don't know what you're facing.
It's our fault for giving them money. Never paid money for a digital paintjob and I'm proud.

Have the killer spawn at the same location as the survivors. :P

Remove terror radius, and survivors have to play in first person

What kind of question is that? Why would Bubba rev his saw to let you know he's coming? He'd rev it on your ass before you can make distance from him, not from 16 meters away. ??? lmfao
You're correct, you can see killers coming from afar whether or not you have any kind of terror radius indication, but if you're working on any gen without LOS of the whole map, good luck. It would be "Run Spine Chill or die" week.
Plus, free insidious camping would certainly be fun, yeah?! Again, it just sounds awfully boring. Feel free to mute your game when you play survivor if that's what you enjoy, though.
+ On top of that, you'd completely eliminate killer and survivor perk and powers that interact with a TR. Doctor wouldn't have a static blast.
