Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Bloodweb RNG

You're seriously gonna force me to waste bloodpoints on Insidious with the Wraith? 13 bloodwebs and counting. Luckily I'll have more options soon but this is ridiculous. Last killer it was Dark Devotion for 9 bloodwebs in a row. Come on BHVR

    Do you have a good reason to refuse to buy insidious?

    Yeah, the Wraith doesn't have a terror radius while cloaked. Why does he need Insidious?

    The question is rather, if it's on your way, why not take it?

    Otherwise insidious allows Wraith to stay hidden in one place and ready to strike without wasting time coming out of invisibility.

    That's not a good question. Why waste bloodpoints on a killer I'm not going to main for a perk that's useless for said killer. If it was Bubba, Billy, Oni, or someone with a one shot...ok. Killers like Wraith, Ghostface, Pig...no thank you. The point is not the perk though. The point is the game is clearly programmed to force a perk on you. The last killer I leveled had Dark Devotion in 50% of the bloodwebs. Do you use that perk? Does anyone? Why force us to waste 15,000 bp on perks. I'd rather have better perks that are level 1 than a few trash perks that are level 3

    no offense but math or critical thinking must not be your forte if you refuse to buy a useless perk to "not waste bp" when this course of action implies you clearing out the rest of the bloodweb, while delaying the appearance of the entity consuming nodes which, anyone with a basic pattern recognition skill would notice, appears mostly after consuming a perk.

    Im inclined to believe the Bloodwebs are not exactly RNG as in every new one gets a totally random perk showing up because when I get to level 30-40 with any character I always have very few perks but a lot of them at rank2. I believe some perks get weighted at least for the first 40 lvls after you prestige a character and those are the ones who will show the most, you should really get Insidious rank2 because it wont stop appearing for a time, just get over it and open that slot for other stuff.

    I have around 40 P3 characters and this has been the norm for almost everyone and I know it has happen to other people because Ive seen people complaining about the same in other media.

    Yeah I'm fairly sure there is some weighting involved. You can never tell with RNG, but usually the same perk will be in the bloodweb for several in a row whether you pick it or not. Honestly, it's better to just take a useless perk rather then no perk at all because at least it can't appear later once at tier 3. If you don't take it, it can still gum up your web in future.

    Honestly though it does annoy me how it works. I don't care for addons, non bloodpoint offerings or perks that I don't want to use but worst of all teachables I don't want to corrupt my bloodwebs even further. It can happen however that you are FORCED to take a teachable you don't want so then it can gum up your progression even further. What fun!

    No offense? haha. ok. 15,000 bp X however many useless perks the game decides to keep throwing at me VS me spending BP on addons that will actually contribute to winning. Easy decision

    i dont think you're gonna use all the brown add-ons especially those like basement spawn, hatch spawn, or fog. you will either prestige him and lose them, or buy other add-ons/offerings once they're all you have left, in both cases you're pretty much deleting blood points from your account.

    but anyway, one single brown add-on is 3k blood points (not to mention stuff like rpd offering) while insidious tier 2 is 5k. not buying it from level 17 (since you said it's been 13 bloodwebs and counting) to 25 (which is when you get two perks at once) implies at least 3 or 4 extra nodes per bloodweb due to the delayed appearance of entity, of which, possibly multiple useless add-ons, at a MINIMUM of 3k blood points EACH. all this to save 5k+6k bloodpoints?

    don't get me wrong the system sucks but banging your head at the same wall for no reason is certainly not a very smart way of dealing with it. it's a line of code dude. you're not showing it who's boss, believe me.

    Considering the huge amount of levels I've raised in a lot of characters I can assure that the RNG is not truly RNG.

    If you get Tier 1 of one perk the possibility of getting the successive tiers of that perks increases.

    I want to beleive that the upcoming bloodweb re-work will be a well thought out generous quality of life improvement.

    The Entity is a swindler at heart but trying to project that through expensive bloodpoint waste is enough to make me want to give up. Give me a t-bagging survivor swf to play against any day versus dealing with the bloodweb rip-offs.

    I feel for you, @CreeRoyalty . My advice, until it is addressed by BHVR, is to play into the hands of the corrupt non-RNG Entity to move past the inevitable. Not buying it on principle will fall flat and end up destroying your mind just like the Entity wants.

    The game does not impose an advantage on you, nor even a particular advantage.

    The game offers you several advantages, which you are going to take because you want them all to be able to build what you want.

    That's why your opinion alone is irrelevant when considering other players.

    As proof, I just prestiged the Artist and started leveling her to get her to P3, level 12 and look at my perks... 11 perk choices total and 5 at rank2 already, you can almost taste which ones got weighted for me on this one... OP you should really pick Insidious because it wont stop showing and you are wasting BPs by not making the Entity appear sooner to consume nodes

    It is, once you P3 a character you wont need to hound Bloodwebs for their perks ever again for you will have them unlocked at rank3 for every character afterwards, you buy a new character it has everything you already unlocked without needing to burn Bloodweb after Bloodweb, also prestiging wont remove your items, perks nor addons so there wont be any reason at all to not prestige anyone at lvl 50.
