Anniversary Event Feedback
Masquerade masks
I like that we don't have to play a specific character to get all 12 masks and I like that there is a counter to show how many we have received although it would be nice if there was maybe a counter in the event tome in case you miss the pop up.
I really don't like that on the survivor side that if you die before doors or hatch opens you will miss out on the reward. It's already hard enough to find the podiums in a match, I see plenty of teammates spending time just searching for a podium. Then as survivor you need to survive until the doors/hatch open which if a killer camps/tunnels you out or you played your best but die just before someone can open the doors or as last gen pops you miss out - and it feels pretty bad too. Meanwhile a killer can go afk staring at a wall and they still get their reward or can deny survivors from getting their reward by killing them before doors open which doesn't feel fair at all. This encourages the vicious cycle of who can finish the game the fastest which really isn't fun. Killer queues are already long during events because they tend to get more BP per match and this just pushes more into playing that side at one time making the already long wait even longer. You were doing great with the winter and Lunar New Year events rewarding everyone no matter the outcome.
Gens/hooks
I love that all gens/hooks are event hooks. This prevents either side from preventing the other from the event points either by camping the event gen or sabotaging the event hooks.
My only complaint is that only the survivors on the gen when it finishes receive the event points. During the new year event if you were chased off a gen just before it finished or had been stuck in a multi gen chase you still got the event BP. Please bring this back because making so only the survivors on the gens when they finish get the event BP not only doesn't feel great when you've been chased off an almost finished gen but it also has survivors staying on gens instead of help rescue teammates on hooks because they don't want someone to finish the gen and lose out on the extra event BP.
Event Tome
I like that events now have tomes with extra BP and rift fragments. It's a nice addition to the event. I also like that there are multiple routes to get the cosmetics so you aren't stuck with a challenge that may be too difficult for you to complete within the limited amount of time of the event.
It would be nice if we could work on the community challenges at the same time as our individual challenges instead of one or the other.
Overall I do think the anniversary event is better than last year but compared to the winter and Lunar New Year events it doesnt feel as rewarding, it actually feels like you took a step back instead of forward. The Lunar New Year event I think is your best event.

Just to say: when we get the promised changes, in a situation like this, we WOULD be able to have both Community and Personal challenges. Since you could have two "active" challenges at a time, one killer and one survivor, just put the community one in the slot you aren't doing a personal one. If doing a personal survivor, stick the community in the killer slot. At least, i HOPE that's how it'll work.

They need to have better requirements for collection. Killers jus grab it and do whatever. 4k or 0k. Survivors always have a stupid requirement. The current event's requirement can be denied by the killer simply by DCing when the last Gen is powered. Gross oversight. I typically dislike events because it makes people even more toxic than usual, just to be so.

I agree. They should either 1. Do what they did during the most recent winter and lunar new year events where it didn't matter what the outcome was, for both survivor and killer as long as you sparkled and didn't DC you got the reward or 2. Make it so both sides are required to get atleast a bronze emblem in each category - this is an equal requirement for both sides, does not punish survivors for dying early/mid match or killers getting 0k, and doesn't encourage unfun/sweaty matches.
