Lunar New Year Event
guys, did I hear right in the official dbd twitch stream that there will be NO lunar new year event this year? I'm so sad :( The whole chat was crying but they didn't say anything more. Someone knowing more?

WAIT WHAT!???
what else is there to look forward too other then the tome??
13 -
the tome will come tomorrow. but the LNY event is one of the most beautifl one and they said there will be no this year. So I don't understand. And hope I hear it wrong.
9 -
Yep, that is correct. Has been confirmed by the devs on stream and dataminers.
2 -
Devs givith, Devs taketh away😔
Lunar New Year is one of the events that always gets me playing again, if I’m taking a break.
Oh well, guess I’ll just keep on chillin’ from DBD
7 -
Wow, BHVR drops the ball again.

I really don't care about lunar new year, last year's lunar was pretty boring imo and i doubt it would have been any better had we gotten one this year.
1 -
This is extremely disappointing.
The Lunar Events are beautiful and extremely fun. Moonrise and Gilded Stampede were so good!
This.
9 -
Come on. :(
I always look forward to these special events.
4 -
Wow, that's really, really lame.
It's one of the events I look forward to; I love the themed cosmetics and aesthetics.
Bad move, man.
8 -
I just really like throwing firecrackers :(
6 -
Dang, and it’s the year of the Dragon too!
8 -
Yeah, I was looking forward to some dragon themed cosmetics. Maybe dragon fireworks.
The more I think about this, the more it irritates me. It's not like the anniversary is getting skipped or something, but it's the little things that keep the game fresh (relatively).
If BHVR is looking to cut some of the smaller events, this isn't one I would want to see go. Especially if they are going to replace it with uninspired stuff like the summer bbq.
7 -
Guessing the Lights Out mode took the developer bandwidth that usually goes to events.
2 -
I started playing DBD since Lunar new year of Feb 2019....that main menu theme was what hooked me into the game and played non stop...
3 -
Maybe preparing something big for aniversary
1 -
What i rather want is something actually new & refreshing to be excited over instead of the same yearly boring stuff we've been doing every lunar event since Moonrise, which is either collect something on the map or just pop an event offering for extra bloodpoints. (Even the Paper Lantern is pretty much almost a reskin of the smashable pumpkin from The Midnight Grove event)

imo this light motifier is boring asf. most ppl use presets anyway because they don't like dark maps. and added to that we have a killer with no terror radius and a red light almost not to see. in which way this should replace a event we can farm skins, BP and have fun in the group??? Well, dbd gets more and more trash. I will take a rest. with all 3 accounts ^^
3 -
Will previous years cosmetics be coming back to the store at least? Be a shame if they don't return. I really want Susie's year of the rat outfit.
0 -
Exactly!!! Was SO stoked for what new cosmetics and decor we’d get to enjoy. Kinda harsh that they wait this long to let us know there’s nothing to look forward to.
and what’s the actual reasoning to no New Year event
6 -
Lunar New Year was my favorite event. I made multiple posts praising the event every year I played it. I'm pretty bummed they aren't doing it this year. I haven't played since Nic Cage was released and was going to come back for this event since it's my favorite but since they're not doing it I'm going to continue my DBD break.
5 -
If found the passage it was said: 1:21:33 ^^ https://www.youtube.com/live/SmBfnD1B8LI?si=m8A2rodJiQoIspek&t=4893
"... the light modifier is not replacing the lunar new year event which is NOT taking place this year..."
1 -
so this more than likely means that When we shouldve gotten Lunar Event the new Lights Out game mode is taking its place
2 -
Firecrackers, the theme, extra bloodpoints, the fireworks... it is such a good event.
I am really disappointed we aren't getting one this year.
8 -
At the very least they should activate last year's lunar new year event if they don't have anything new for this year. This is pretty disappointing.
6 -
Are we at least going to get the Lunar New Year skins from last year in the shop? I've been waiting a year for the Feng Min down the rabbit hole skin because I forgot to buy it last year.
0 -
In the Video is a section with 'shop' and they said: yes
1 -
Good! Looks like I'll be getting my Feng outfit this year then. Still sucks that the event is cancelled.
2 -
There is no need to create a new event, so I would like to see an update aimed at fixing bugs. There are too many problems around the FOV slider and Anti-3Gen system.
1 -
I believe during the stream they said the outfits not only were coming back, but they were going to be available permanently.
1 -
Make firecrackers permanent item in bloodwebs then
4 -
Wow, that's a pretty big failure on Behaviour's part.
5 -
Yeah that's a bummer, I was hoping for some kickass killer cosmetics in the theme of Year of the Dragon. And to further expand the hoard of items on my mains :(.
Next year, hopefully.
3 -
Oh cool! That's some good news at least. It's still a shame there's no event, but understandable given that the Lights Out mode will be taking its place. I was looking forward to playing my first Lunar New Year event.
3 -
I was hoping for the lunar event as well. The New Year events for any game have been my favorite. It is a shame when a game did them then takes them away.
3 -
So we now even start to cut down most liked events? Looks like devs really want to take down most of the playerbase this year. Inexcusable if thats the case.
5 -
because they don't care about our wishes?
3 -
This is awful. I was super looking forward to the Lunar New Year event. Its was one of my favorite events.
I hope BHVR will at least add the items into the bloodweb during it or something. The fireworks toolboxes and firecrackers were so fun to use.
Please do this BHVR, why remove a fun community event that gives fun items for players to enjoy?
3 -
There better be if they remove one of the best events from the game. I'm going to deeply miss it and all the fireworks and firecrackers.
2 -
What is going on at BHVR HQ? They've been pretty consistent with the events. Even if they were busy making a new game mode and tons of changes that are under wraps, you'd at least think they'd keep enough man power to continue the Lunar event. Dragons are also 100000000x cooler and more interesting design-wise than the most recent animals. Sorry dogs, rats, and bunnies.
4 -
The thing is, what if they are removing ALL events we know of in 2024? Meaning, no anniversary event, Haunted by Daylight, or Bone Chill this year. Instead, we will be getting random hit-or-miss limited time modifiers?
I've been saving shards for the anniversary cake offerings, but what if there will NO anniversary offerings this year? They honestly could be removing all of the events for some reason.
4 -
If by any chance they are permanently removing all events we know of (including anniversary, bone chill, etc.), then we can kiss all those special items goodbye.
1 -
If they aren't holding a Lunar New Year event then at least refund all these stupid Red Envelopes I have.
4 -
I highly, highly doubt that's the case. At the absolute least, the Anniversary event would have to be retained. They'd be stupid to cancel it for any reason.
My guess is that they have something they've allocated the manpower they would normally have on the Lunar event to something else, and that most of the events are still safe.
But even if it is a new game mode or something like that, it won't be enough to offset potentially getting rid of most of their regular events. I expect (hope) the Lunar New Year event will return next year.
Still, bypassing the Year of the Dragon feels like a real missed opportunity for some really cool stuff.
6 -
I see where you are coming from, but please think about this: the devs did not announce that there would be no Lunar event this year. They only briefly mentioned it after someone from chat asked about it. And they just said 1 sentence, and then brushed off the subject as quickly as possible.
There has been no official statement on the Lunar New Year event not taking place this year. They haven't made a single comment in this forum post. They haven't made a single comment on my post about this in the Feedback section of the forums. Doesn't that look like they are ignoring this completely and are just hoping we stop asking questions as soon as possible? The whole thing was done in the background and they don't seem to want to explain anything. Complete lack of transparency.
I wouldn't hold my horses on the Anniversary event and other events happening this year. Hopefully they still are, but based on the lack of transparency from the devs on the Lunar event removal, anything's possible, sadly.
(Unless they want to comment on this thread and clarify things!)
1 -
As disappointing as it not happening is, the Lunar New Year event is a relatively minor entry on the DBD calendar. It has been an event that just kind of happens without a lot of fanfare or runup. And there is precedent for minor events just kind of dropping off (and then returning, in the case of the summer bbq).
The Anniversary event is essentially of the heart of the DBD year, and has been a major production for a long time now. I would expect the first year there is no anniversary event will also be the first year there is no DBD at all. Removing it would be...not well received.
I think the Anniversary is safe. I think Haunted by Daylight is largely safe. Bone Chill as well, if slightly less so.
My one real concern here is that that they might be cutting content in favor of some new game mode. Now there has been demand for new game modes, but with love and peace, BHVR has shown to be absolutely abysmal in recent years at anything outside of standard DBD. At the very least every other notable endeavor has been underwhelming. Or a trash fire.
Obviously something will have to change at some point because nothing in gaming is evergreen (except maybe brain dead formulaic games like CoD and Madden), but making big changes to your one successful IP is kinda risky.
Which is why I am highly skeptical of the idea they'd scrap all their annual events together in one year.
1 -
I definitely think BHVR should address it further, though. At least a brief reasoning for why the event was cut.
1 -
today i played NO dbd. it was hard because it's a kind of routine for me to play several hours a day dbd. I have 3 accounts to play it and on all I farmed bp during the double event for the lunars new year event, because beside the aniversary event it's the most beautiful event for me. and i want all the bp put into the new character and the event items i love so much. but after the stream yesterday i had been sooooo sad an tbh ANGRY that I decide not playing dbd anymore until there will come an event that's worth it to put all the bp in beloved items. and so I started today with avoid dbd and it works well. I focused on other stuff and another game were the events repeats each year with bonuses but not with replaces and so I put my time now in this one. I recomend it to all of you to do this, too. Otherwise they will never understand what player really love by gaming.

I would rather have Lunar New Year with some nice cosmetics, an extra task to do, extra points, etc than a random alternate play mode. :(
2 -
Same.
If they told us Lights Out was cancelled it would be unfortunate, yet tolerable.
But not having a Lunar New Year Event feels devastating. It is one of the best events we have.
