I believe i have been inputting a wrong amount of bloodpoints since i just use the last tab amount (not the total amount in the first tab that includes the modifiers) plus one time i knew i had around 16k but not the EXACT sum.

Why you bother asking me to input those numbers if you are going to check them anyways?

Since i've been doing it (apparently) incorrectly, should i just stop here at 4 matches?

    How can they check them if you don't give them any information? I'm pretty sure we have to input the BP so they can find the matches that correspond to the survey response you filled out. Not sure if you should redo them or just keep it consistent and put the last page instead of the first.

    They track you with your CloudID, not with the bloodpoints, as im sure they register your matches, but i dont understand the need to tell them the bps i get, or if should be EXACT amount, if its the first or last tab amount......

    Not really well explained, imo but at this point ill just keep doing the survey the same way, and if i get nothing in return, never again 🤷‍♂️

    They probably want to look at the specific game you are referencing as in what perks were run, what the killer MMR was, what the survivor mmr was, etc. It was probably the easiest way in their minds to find your games because having a string of 7 numbers they can look for was easier than asking what time did your game start. Probably why they asked for 7 consecutive as well, to make it easier to find and to see how MMR changes based on your feedback/enjoyment.

    I mean, im sure they have all implemented for their own stats so, asking for bloodpoints its weird as ######### but whatever, they didnt explain it too well, so, next time ill just ignore surveys, im already paying to play the game, imagine wasting my time doing their job too

    I feel I have done the same thing. I have done 5 surveys before realising maybe they need the total amount of BP and not the score that I've been using on the last card on the after game screen. I wish it was more clearer, but I'm going to start from scratch using the total BP because in the wording it does say "the amount of blood points YOU RECEIVED after your match"

    I'm not sure what you aren't understanding by what I'm saying. I'll try to explain my thought process a little better. The reason that they are asking for the bloodpoints is that it is an easier way for them to track which SPECIFIC game you played for the survey information you filled out. Let's say you complete survey 1, survey 2, survey 3, and so on. How can they find the results of your match if you only give them your ID? Sure they know who you are, but they don't know how to find the results from survey 1 match 1. Your match history looks the same to them. They wouldn't be able to find match 1 for survey 1 you filled out because they have no idea when you started to fill out the surveys. Having the bloodpoint total as a tracker helps them identify the match because it is highly unlikely you'll get the same score twice in a row (unless you max out your bp amount at the cap). Asking for bloodpoints to identify the specific match helps them collect more data that corresponds with your responses that you either couldn't report because it was hidden or questions they didn't want to waste your time asking (what killer, were you swf, what perks used, etc.).

    It's up to you to do the surveys or not. No one is forcing you to complete them. It's nice that BHVR has incentivized them because that wasn't necessary for them to do at all. Giving out iri shards is basically free money considering it can buy in-game content. They're basically paying you to complete a 1 minute survey as you wait in queue for your next match to start. It's not like you are doing their job when they're asking for feedback. The point of the surveys is trying to get more information from the player base (things that a design/dev team can overlook). If you don't want to provide feedback to the game, it's okay. Just because you don't fully understand what they are doing behind the scenes with the surveys or they didn't explain it in enough detail for you means you need to give up on the surveys in the future, but I understand if it's not worth your time (you don't need the shards or bp).
