Did they nerf the BP incentive bonuses?

I haven't seen 100% on either side for a while now. Even when my queues are 5 seconds on survivors and a minute or two for killer, the BP bonus stays at 50% max. BHVR did say they were monitoring the BP bonuses a while back with 2v8. Maybe it's even stricter to get a 100% bonus?

    Definitely not, like clockwork for me after about 8pm I get 100% killer bonus every night

    Any time zone in Japan
    killer: 0%
    Survivor: 0~50%

    Even with the bonus, matching is not fast.

    Only the BP bonus has been lowered.

    I've seen survivor at 50-100 during lights out, normal mode killer was 100 usually in evening/night.

    Since the lights out event started, I've been seeing the incentive range between 25% killer to 25-50% surv, mostly the latter.

    My theory here has been that the 2v8 led some people to try the other side (mostly surv to killer) and the balance has changed a bit. Before the 2v8, I saw mostly 100% killer bonus.

    Plus a lot more of the killers I've been facing lately are not so good inexperienced.

    i thought it was them messing with incentives to promote lights out but apparently they are completely broken since then. i've been only getting 25-50 survivor incentive during the day, normally it should never drop below 100% (or switch to killer) in my region and mmr.

    no idea about killer incentives, not playing in evenings lately.

    Same here. I've only seen the 25% and 50% bonus ever since lights out ended. Maybe they forgot to re-enable 100% for standard mode?

    Same. I am getting nothing but 25%.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one, and I'm still getting this problem. Incentives were 25% on survivor. Killer queue was 10 seconds. Survivor a little over 3 minutes. Something isn't right.

    Oh gosh.

    In the scenario of not having unbalanced queues, BHVR has quashed the hopes of "player progression" when the servers are "healthy".

    Maybe a global bonus when things are "normal"?

    It's been over a month since killer BP Bonus disappeared.

    It's true that the bonus logic has been changed, but I don't think it's a healthy change, so I'd like to see it reverted.

    Yeah, it's been 150% for survivor today for me, too. The queue is surprisingly slow for such a large bonus, though. I would expect it to be instant.

  • Nazzzak
    Nazzzak Member Posts: 5,758

    It was 150% Survivor last night for me again, strangely enough at 11pm when I usually see 100% killer incentive. I didn't play though so can't speak for queue times. The incentive is definitely all over the place.

  • MrMori

    Same here, 150% on survivor, but survivor queues were long and killer queues instant. Man I wish they would fix this already. In theory they're actually making their own queue times worse by pushing people to play the side that already has too many players. I miss having 100% bonus, especially on killer.

     I miss having 100% bonus, especially on killer.

    Literally not had a single killer bonus since 2v8 came out. It's kinda just demoralised me from playing much anymore tbh since i dont enjoy survivor much. Prior to that i was getting consistent 100% every evening so i could enjoy the game while still getting reasonable progression for my killer prestiges. Now i might as well wait until BP events to play.

  • redglyph
    redglyph Member Posts: 56

    Previously the maximum was 100% and now it is 150%.
    I think things have changed at that point.

    For example, a month ago in my region, the BP bonus for survivors was 100% from 9am to 9pm.
    Killer BP has become 100% since pm09.

    Now you always get Survivor BP bonus.
    Isn't it strange?

    I've been seeing it as 150% on survivor mostly, though in fairness I haven't been playing in the evenings which is when I would usually see killer bonuses (US West).

    Haven't noticed anything different in que times. Survivor is quick, which the odd occasional slow time to load in, killer long.

    Yesterday afternoon I had a 150% bonus for survivor but I couldn't find a match. Queued up for killer, got a game right away. Is it possible that the incentives are backwards at the moment?

  • VdG232

    I am experiencing the same "issues". Before lights out during the day I always had 100% survivor bonus switching to 100% killer bonus from around 8pm to 1 am. Now I have maximum 50% survivor bonus and most of the time 25% bonus during the day while the queue times are almost instant. I haven't seen killer bonus over 25% until now.

    Yeah something has definitely changed. Usually it would be survivor 100% bonus during the day and killer 100% bonus in the evening/night for me. But I don't remember the last time I saw the killer bonus active. Also, most of the time the bonus is 25% - 50% however I've seen it go to 150% which is definitely new.

    I feel the need to reply here too, as I can't recall seeing anything other than a 25% Bonus for Survivors since around 2v8, regardless of queue times on either side.

    My area has been +25% bonus on survivors yet queue times feel very slow.

  • redglyph
    redglyph Member Posts: 56

    Yesterday was a killer 50%.
    Returned to Survivor Bonus in 5 minutes.

    Killer queue at bonus time was slow.
    The queue was faster without the bonus.

    It has a BP bonus for survivors! Rare! I often have to wait 5 or 10 minutes to get in the queue, which is very frustrating. I think you may have set up the wrong camp.

    Are there any news/updates, you can share with us, Peanits?

    Over the week, I've notice similar issues like other users in this topic already reported.

  • ThMnWthNVwls

    A few nights ago the bonus was 25% on survivor for me, but the queue times for survivor were a few minutes. I switched to killer later and it was instant despite no incentive. This lasted a few hours.

    It's been very clearly bugged since lights out came back.

    A friend and my incentive have also been consistently the same which is unusual - our mmrs historically have given us varying incentives

  • redglyph

    now, The matching time when survivor bonus was 50% was as follows
    survivor: 1 minutes 20 seconds
    killer: 11 seconds
    I wonder when it will be fixed

    Logged in for the first time in awhile and i'm still suck at 25%. At this point I think there should be a permanent 50% bonus for both sides with a 150% for the side that is in demand. Having a constant 25% is NOT it. You get basically nothing for playing survivor and the game isn't even worth playing to be honest.

  • redglyph
    redglyph Member Posts: 56

    Still not fixed?
    The killer's match time is obviously shorter, yet he gets no bonus.

    As others have said; my killer queues are still instant wether there’s a bonus or not, and survivor is a couple of minutes or more even with up to 150% bonus. UK region late evening. Usually killer bonus would be 200% with the same queue times I mentioned which makes more sense.

  • redglyph
    redglyph Member Posts: 56

    If it's not a bug, a killer bonus buff is needed.
    There are many players who don't play as killers because there is no bonus.
    A bonus is necessary to motivate killers.

  • Halloulle
    Halloulle Member Posts: 1,349

    One added question: What is the "intended Q time" if things are distributed evenly and there are no incentives?

    I agree that the BP bonus seems off and not matching the Qtimes — but then again I'm used to playing when the incentive is 100% so maybe I just got used to way faster matchmaking?

    I also don't see why the bonus-pattern would have changed so drastically so suddenly - but between modifiers, game changes etc. you never know how players react and how that affects distribution. - So another question would be: do your numbers show a shift in which modes/roles people choose to play?

  • redglyph

    Please fix this quickly.
    It's clear that something is wrong, and since it's just a numerical setting, it should be easy to fix.

    I have been getting 200% on survivor but it doesn't last very long. The incentives do feel a bit less generous lately

  • Caiman
    Caiman Member Posts: 2,956

    I feel like the game is busted overall. Incentives aren't working, queues are longer, lag is worse. I've gotten more hits stolen from me in the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 2 years.

  • redglyph
    redglyph Member Posts: 56

    Is it still not fixed or have you investigated?

  • Autharia
    Autharia Member Posts: 434

    Its still broken. 100-150% bonus for playing survivor with 3-5 minute queues for event.
