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?

Weirdly enough, I've been getting 150% on survivor the last few days around midday my time.

same!! with the start of the lights out event the BP bonus changed
1 -
Definitely not, like clockwork for me after about 8pm I get 100% killer bonus every night
3 -
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 only seen 25% for survivor for over a week now... Killer has no bonus

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 goodinexperienced.2 -
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.

Same

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.

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.
1 -
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.

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?3 -
I'm almost certain that something is off here. The incentive has behaved quite weird indeed ever since Lights Out and I honestly find it hard to believe that it's only because the 1:4 ratio is so closely matched.
For as long as I have played the game, the survivor queue time has always been relatively short during the day (small exception in summer 2021) and the killer queue time was always shorter during the night. This has also been mirrored by the incentive and I have no reason to believe that this has changed.
Now though I will sometimes get a 25% to 50% survivor incentive during the night even though my survivor queue time is about 2 minutes long, where as a killer I get into a match pretty much instantly. Generally speaking the 100% incentive has been quite rare for me lately.
It is definitely worth keeping an eye on.

To echo this, the bonus numbers changed during Lights Out and never reverted after the mode ended. I would constantly see killer 100% in the evenings and now I see survivor 25% during/after the most recent Lights Out event. I have never seen these numbers at these times of day until the recent Lights Out event. It's hard to believe player population changed overnight and stayed that way since.

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.

Thank you! 😊

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?
2 -
Please let me know when it will be fixed.

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.
4 -
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.
1 -
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.
1 -
I will continue to speak out until it is fixed...
The matching time when survivor bonus was 150% was as follows
survivor: 2 minutes 40 seconds
killer: 13 seconds
Don't you think it's strange?6 -
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.

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
1 -
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 fixed0 -
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.
1 -
Still not fixed?
The killer's match time is obviously shorter, yet he gets no bonus.3 -
Event almost is almost always both at 50% for long queues.

I've been eating good in the mornings in my region

I saw a 100% yesterday when I was playing (PC)

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.
2 -
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.0 -
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?

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.1 -
I have been getting 200% on survivor but it doesn't last very long. The incentives do feel a bit less generous lately
0 -
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.

Is it still not fixed or have you investigated?
1 -
Its still broken. 100-150% bonus for playing survivor with 3-5 minute queues for event.
