Making Killers Cry In One Picture:
Let's...never do that again.
(For those that weren't around, think a seasonal event that could give survivors an extra health state, and bug out several killers' powers completely).
Anyone got anything else?

sucked for GF and Twins but honestly I loved it haha. I had a lot of fun with that event. I hope they bring it back next year!

nah that was a fun event

Clown could just throw a bottle to get them out so it was no issue for me. Plus free STBFL stacks

I had a blast with the event
made it even funnier how people were malding over snowmen
13 -
it was so punishing for some killers and such a non issue on others
like slinger can shoot and pull them out and hit them, but wraith had to give them a free health state
if this returns the snowmen need to take a health state instead of being a free hit at 0 cost since they respawn

I had so much fun as killer during that event.
The best bit was coming to the Forums mid-matches to just read.

I want this back just so I can see Wesker throw Snowmen.
He better throw them.

If they bring snowmen back, they need to count a snowman hit as a missed attack and not as successful attacks. It seems very silly that you get a slowdown for not damaging the survivor. The survivors didn't get speed boost off of that, but you shouldn't get the slowdown either.

You could give a suggestion to change it instead of just a complaint. Because decorations without interactions are extremely boring. Those snowmen were fun, even playing as killer.
I mean if you're a "comp" player who only cares about win/loss/kills and not the fun you have in the game then I guess your complaint is justified. But I feel like people take DBD WAY too seriously, especially after Matt called it a Party Game during a dev stream.
And what killer's power did it bug? I'm very annoyed by game breaking bugs, and constantly rail BHVR on Twitter for having bugs that are so old they're forming coherent sentences and being registered for Kindergarten.

That was the thing: I had fun with Snowman conga lines and dancing survivors a lot during the first 2h of the event and the rest of day 1 and day 2, but after that survivors only (ab)used the living daylights out of the snowmen and it was not fun anymore for the killer.
The other aspect was that the survivors got a "fun" seasonal toy to play around with, while killers got nothing, they only got their cosmetics by hitting snowmen with survivors in them. Wow... The hight of interactivity. I can totally see while this event got a bad rep.
3 -
Honestly, maybe it's just how much I've played that my level of care is so low but I had an absolute blast with the snowmen on both sides :D
Now if you want something to make a (console side at least) killer cry...
Good old Boil Over...

You see, I mained artist during that event. So I would see them hop in the snowman, place a crow, walk right up next to them, launch the crow, and then hit them down immediately
0 -
It was good event, they tried something different.
I don't know why people hated it that much.
7 -
Yeah, snowmen sucked a lot, but they were fun for the first Trial
0 -
Well, yeah?
It completely negated several killer powers. For example, jumping into one removed your Ghostface mark immediately.
Because it was buggy and poorly implemented.
Ugh...yeah.
Ghostface was completely useless. Not only did the snowman shield you from the instadown, but it removed your mark the second you got in.
Twins - if I recall, you couldn't hit a healthy survivor with Victor at all.
Myers also had it rough.
Other killers, such as Doctor, could instantly negate it.

Not as good as the legendary winter solstices, but this event was actually pretty fun.
I actually played it myself... for only 2 trials, but it is better than nothing.

oof
1 -
That was the most interactive event in like 3 years. It was good.
1 -
Lol never again BHVR please
1 -
Ok? Whats your suggestion to fix the issue then? Because I enjoyed the event regardless of the role or killer i played. Would you rather just gen/hook reskins with pustules with M1 gameplay? Meh. That was boring.
I think your main complaint is "Losing". You need to set your own curriculum for wins instead of kills as Killer, because the Survivor community is the only ones having to really adapt with the patch changes.
1 -
Not to brag or anything, but I looped a zombie for 5 gens in the snowman suit. Get on my level, son.
1 -
Alot of killers will just wait for it to be over
1 -
Please do it again, it was hilarious.
2 -
That was actually a really fun event. Probably one of their better ones. I'd welcome it back anytime w/ additional fixes of course.
0 -
Nah,that wasn't that bad.
Look at last gen FPS at Nemesis release,then you'll cry

For this event only I became a doctor main. Mettle of snowman might have been fun for survivors but some killers had their power denied by it. Twins come to mind.
I don't mind if they bring it back as long as it doesn't shut down certain killer powers again.
1 -
Fun idea, terrible execution and multiple oversights for one side. Almost like there was a lesson that could have been learned but wasn't.
2 -
Man, I loved that event. Me and my friend just jumped into snowmen suits and danced around and high-fived each other until the killer got tired of it and killed us. Sometimes all four survivors would dance in a circle or get in a conga line. It was fantastic.
0 -
Why would you want to jump into a snowman and move super slow to take a health state of damage either way? That ruins the point of the snowman. It was something to be fun for a short amount of time.
0 -
Honestly the winter event was actually really good I didn't really have a problem with it. It had it's moments but, it was still a lot of fun to play around with.
1 -
"The survivors got a free health state"
Dude, I literally used to wonder up to the killer and allow them to hit me. If they wanted to chase after that then fair enough. Many didn't.
It was a really fun event and I would love them to do it again. I want to be rolling round in a pumpkin this Halloween.

I actually liked that event with both killer and survivor. It was a nice change and a pretty fun event. The survivors moved super slow in the snowmen, so it didn't really give them that much of an advantage.
0 -
I had a blast during that event. Honestly that whole time the game felt a lot friendlier. Killers and survivors would meme with the snowmen. It was nice.
3 -
Yeah i hated that event.
Survivors would literally jump in snowmen instead of mending against legion, jump in snowmen if they got marked by ghost face, jump in against tombstone myers, against victor and immediately crush him afterwards.
Killers literally got nothing, they couldn't use the snowmen themselves. The event was just a few weeks where survivors got an advantage.
6 -
I play mostly killer and I loved the snowmen. Could shoot em with Deathslinger or zap em with Doctor to deny survivors their cosmetic unlocks :)
1 -
The only change they should make for this year’s winter event is give killers something to interact with too. Maybe they could hop into a snowman too?
1 -
People really hated that event? I thought it was fun and different. I even got some sweaty killers to let down their guard a little bit and have some fun with it all.

I was fine because Doc's shocks got the survivors out of the snowman and then they just stood there sayin "what happened" lol
0 -
That would have actually been really cool if the killers could get in them too. Don't know if it would have made up for how people could use them to tank hits for free or nullify half the powers in the game, but it would have at least made it less biased if that random snowman could suddenly turn into a bubba halfway through his charge or something. Of course knowing bhvr they'd probably screw it up and make it so that blight could dash while still having it on or freddy would accidentally be able to teleport to them or something equally stupid and broken.

Bring it back but let killers hide in them too.
0 -
The ratio tho.
1 -
One of the only actually fun, creative events they've done in years. We need more events like that.
It really exposed how joyless most killer players are, too.
1 -
Let's do the inverse and see how fun it is. Killers can pick up a candy cane around the map and if they hit a survivor with it, it's an instant down. Survivors get nothing except cosmetics if they make the killer whiff with the candy cane

All I know is I'm looking forward to this year's Winter Event for the Snow-Dredge costume they showed. 😄
1 -
Wait- the Snowmen cancelled GF’s power?! Oof!
1 -
since when did people start caring about other people's fun in dbd? you know how much better the game would be if they did but that is a pipe dream.
0 -
It was a well-intentioned event.
The execution could use some work though
4 -
Yes. If you marked a survivor and they jumped in a snowman, you would hit the snowman and they would become unmarked.
2 -
Indeed. I made a pretty harsh comment about the event, but the one thing that I really wanna stress as a good thing (besides free cosmetics ... whatever people sometimes say, free stuff is always neat!) is that they tried something new with this one and that it was the first one, that deserved the titel of event. It got something different then just reskinned hooks and gens and maybe some small collection mechanic, but altered the game in some core way.
But its execution could indeed use some more work.
