Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Haddie - ghosted and forgotten by BHVR...?

Haddie is one of the coolest characters when it comes to lore. She is of great significance. And yet she's been forgotten by BHVR, it seems. She's been getting 0 new cosmetics since the anniversary event / prime reward. My desire to play her is low just because she has too few of cosmetics to choose from. If she would finally get a new cosmetic (instead of Feng or Meg for example 🙄), she would be more interesting to me. In the winter poll Haddie wasn't even shown, so she probably isn't getting any new cosmetic (aside from the "ugly sweater") this year. :/

How can you just dump one of the most important characters to the lore? Why don't you give her some love?

There are other issues with her as well, and someone made a thread on Twitter, I suggest you read it. https://twitter.com/gowonite/status/1587546700079632386

    As mentioned in the thread, there have been so many cosmetic collections (e.g. greek legends, chrysallis, etc...) released since Haddie's chapter release, and she hasn't been in a single one of those cosmetic collections... Why release a character in the first place, if you're gonna shove them away and pretend they don't exist...?

    Yeah if bhvr wanted her to be picked more they would toss her a bone. No one wants to play someone with little variety to their cosmetics.

    It's a vicious circle - Haddie is rarely played because doesn't have many cosmetic options, BHVR doesn't give Haddie cosmetics because she's barely played. Same can be said for alot of the characters that have few cosmetics.

    Meanwhile the characters with 80+ cosmetics keep getting cosmetics because more people play them because they have more cosmetic options.

    I think they need to stop adding new survivors since it's the same handful getting cosmetics over and over while the rest are ignored and forgotten.

    I really wish they gave more love to some characters.... Haddie, Jonah, Jeff, Élodie... Diversity is what makes the game fun, and I would love to see more different characters in the lobby, not just fengs, megs and mikaelas (I do love them though).

    I don't care about cosmetics... I'll play whomever I want to

    But that doesn't stop people from playing a character does it???

    Like really having no cosmetics is stopping people from playing her???

    The art team needs to start sharing more options then

    Well, I don't know about others but, I love changing cosmetics often on any character I play, otherwise I get bored. Also, I am more inclined to wear a halloween outfit on a character during the halloween time, same for christmas/winter. Now, if only Haddie got a Halloween outfit this year... :/

    It's probably cause no one is playing her that she's receiving no cosmetics and/or that when she did receive cosmetics, no one bought them. I've been playing every day the last two weeks and I can't recall seeing a Haddie.

    Haddie is one of my favourite survivors lore wise but base cosmetics are kinda ugly and she has very little choice. The problem with survivors is that being in 3rd person you're constantly looking at them, so a characters needs to be properly customizable to be nice to the eye.

    The argument that she doesn’t get Outfits because no one plays her is so weird?

    they should have outfits planned/in the working in case she would have been more popular, cosmetics aren’t conceptualized/created/refined/released ins few days…

    it might be that they already expected her to be not as popular and therefore didn’t have cosmetics planned…but… really? Then why choose her for the anniversary chapter to begin with

    I don't mean to offend anyone but Haddie is the ugliest looking character ingame and her fashion sense is absurdly tacky. Her lore is cool though!

    But that’s kinda appealing as well, right?

    not everyone can be the most beautiful. And a character can be liked even though they are not the most attractive. Fashion is also subjective and the two outfits she got along with the default are interesting and at least something different to generic Kate and Meg outfits..

    I mean, Haddie might not be the peak of sexiness (everyone has their own taste, too), but I really like her. I think she looks just fine, both face and body type. I love her voice. With proper cosmetics, she would be a really cool character to play. Her scuba diving cosmetic is soooo good. BHVR obviously can give her awesome cosmetics. They just need to continue doing so. :<
