    I wouldnt mind if skins would get exclusive for a time ( I was expecting winter blight skin to be released and sell with aurics cells only but seems it wont) that way would be non exclusive stuff but still Amazon prime users get their exclusive skin.

    Sure, just I dont really know how to go about stuff like this lol. I rarely ask or beg for stuff, I normally work for stuff on my own since I feel bad asking others.

    I was really looking forward to the new reward... what a disappointment. How lazy.

    You could give away or sell the code though.

    Glad I just took a 99 cent trial on Prime to get Jeff's cosmetic used my Twitch Prime Sub and canceled it right after. Jokes on you Amazon.

    This cosmetic offers no temptation at all as I already have it and it's a crap cosmetic anyway.

    So what DBD wrote in their news about Prime Gaming helping players grow their cosmetic collections obviously isn't true anymore.

    Same here. I'm a little hesitant to claim it on the vague hope this was an error, but if anyone needs it, let me know and I'll have a code up for grabs.

    Seriously, SMH. They just released a 4-skin pop collection. Why didn't they take one of those for Prime? Or Haddie's missing outfit recolor? Or wherever the Dredge's Rare skin from release went? Or why not recolor the Maiden Guard outfit, if they really had nothing else to offer right now?

    At the very least, set it up to give iri shards if people already have the outfit, when you're rereleasing something directly from a rift...

    Shards equivalent to purple outfit for those that already had the outfit from grinding the rift definitely would've been great alternative, especially since if it went into the store it'd be available for shards anyway. It also would've "helped grow players collection" like they claim the prime partnership is supposed to do.

    What’s the point of even spending money on future Battlepass rifts if BHVR is just going to recycle their cosmetics and put them on Prime Gaming?

    I was looking forward to the new cosmetic for August, but I’m very disappointed. I can’t even redeem the code, because it’s the exact same cosmetic from a previous rift (not even a recolor)

  • shinymon

    Yeah it's pretty shameless that they've resorted to double dipping cosmetics on separate paywalls. Feels pretty disrespectful to the artists.

    I have NEVER considered giving feedback on how cosmetics are obtained--whether in the rift, the store, events, etc. I may have had personal opinions to myself about how I wish they were easier to get, were cheaper, had different color options... but never to the point where I thought I needed to give the actual dev team feedback on it.


    THIS, however... I don't even know how to properly express my frustration about this new Amazon Prime skin. However, I fully recognize and concede that I:

    • Do not presume to know how the business perspectives of the dev team influence these types of decisions;

    • Am not being forced to get anything;

    • Realize it's "free" (with a catch);

    • Still appreciate BHVR taking advantage of this partnership and understand there's always next month, etc.


    With that being said, though, I am quite simply at a loss for words about this. It feels, at the very least and most sensitive way to put it, quite confusing, and I've never had issues with how they distribute/sell cosmetics. I think for me, it's mostly the lack of communication/explanation behind the rationale of this choice. I absolutely cannot imagine no one from BHVR had the foresight to know this would spark controversy in the community. Not like they "owe us" an explanation or are obligated to explain business decisions... but they simply had to know how many people would be frustrated by this.

    Seriously? Even Apex Legends creates new rewards every month for Amazon Prime users. You guys literally just brought an old Plague cosmetic from the rift. Why?

    Yeah, this month's prime skin is completely stupid and makes BHVR looks lazy and cheap.

    I swear this cosmetic was in the store last week to purchase. Is this an error? Will they change it? What's going on!?

    Please remember that giving away codes is prohibited on this platform.

    I don't understand why they don't have the Haddie cosmetics available? Like she only has 1 outfit and they other 2 are locked behind exclusivity of prime and the masquerade. Have they ever done this to new characters before?
