Events should be more eventful.
This whole Bone Chill is so vanilla it could have just been placed in Standard Queue.

I've only played about a dozen survivor games but yeah, I feel it's quite dull. I've only had 2 killers throw a snowball, including a farming Ghostface, but other than that it just feels like a standard game. My team mates alternate from not touching gens and just messing around with snowballs and snowmen (which is fun), to just focusing on gens and ignoring the event stuff (so business as usual).

I feel like it's not really interesting anymore in general: the skins are okay, the quests are weird especially because the first one for killer (I think?) is killing a snowman jumpscaring you with a snowball, the offering doesn't give too much of a boost and otherwise there isn't anything new or interesting.
Well at least my girlfriend is happy that the effects of the lobby, of the offerings and of the loadingscreen are so pretty, so I'm also happy with it xD

The serious players criticized each event, no matter how small, for messing up their normal games. The first addition of snowmen, without the snowballs, even had that reaction. Those players don't want any speck of non-standard gameplay touching the normal/standard queue.
I'm not trying to be negative on those people or how they enjoy the game. I'm just emphasizing that the separate event mode was added to keep any and all extra elements, no matter how small or vanilla, out of the normal game. Because that is what some players wanted.
I don't disagree with your basic premise, however. I would like to see events go all out. The separate queue means there's no longer any reason to hold back... unless maybe BHVR just really wants to get started on their holiday and not need to return to the office to tweak their experiments.

Fair point. 👍

Have to agree. This is the most vanilla event I've seen in a long time.

This event is lame. And people are just bringing meta stuff. Had a 3bnp game earlier...

people sleep on how many points you can get if you focus on snow-related stuff

And what would make the events more eventful?

The event's cool, I like it, but it does need more.
You know what I had a lot of fun with both sides? The Twisted Masquerade event this year. I REALLY loved having random changes as the game progressed, it was weird, it was quirky, it was fun.
Know what else I liked both sides? I liked Haunted by Daylight, when people bothered to interact with the Void and use the Void stuff. It was different, it was fun. It changed the gameplay. It gave us more to do.
Know what else I really liked? The Modifiers. Lights Out, Chaos Shuffle, and 2v8 are all more engaging experiences than Bone Chill. They brought new ways to play the game (co-op Killer vs. Frenzy, High Stealth High Horror, and Randomizer). Bone Chill does not.
Bone Chill needs MORE to do or an overhaul that truly makes it different and makes it stand out. Otherwise, it's just DBD with snowball fights and crappy snowmen that mess with your ability to do anything properly. And I feel pretty similarly about Blood Moon actually.

they also sleep on how funny it is. I like to run tier 3 myers with a stealth build. then pop out of snowmen for the jump scare. and once the snowmen are paranoid…my stealth build comes into play. sooo funny. (I let them live if they show xmas spirit)
as survivor i like to pelt the killer snowballs during chase or on the other side of windows or pallets.

The reason bonechill is an event is because people are likely not playing like done in normal queue, if it was in normal queue people who wanted a normal game could not get one.

Yes but you give people an optional lobby that's dedicated to event things. But people queue up and don't even do the event stuff. It just becomes a regular match. Then you see posts on events being played sweaty. All this Bone Chill stuff could have been added into standard lobby and nothing would change much. Even with the Halloween event no one was doing the side stuff much.

Maybe next year they can make it like, a whole different game mode. Where its just on a smaller version of a few select maps, and its either a snowball fight 4 v 4 or free for all (survivor only, one hit injures us, next one downs us, we can get picked up by teammates, or we're out for the round). There can be a snowman hide and seek / score attack (destroy as much snowmen as possible in a time limit, it can be Killers v survs, or any character/role on each side). Something fun and different from base game so we can actually have a nice, non stressful time with both teammates and opponents.

Bp for this event is like non existing it feels I even make more in regular mode or is it just me? Like has anyone honestly made good bp as either side in event?

aside from the AI snowmen being a little meh and possibly causing the event servers to be laggier, I kinda wish the snowmen blocked hits like the original version. would've been more interesting that way and made people care about snowballs more.

I agree i hope that in future years they do more with events but are starting off somewhat small for now. Perhaps entirely different event game modes would be nice and then just add all of the BP celebrations in the normal queue.

bone chill is pretty boring if you play it like normal game. to not get bored you have to play like you're 10yo in deep snow XD

Maybe it's just me, but with how many chaotic events and other things we've had lately (especially after the Halloween event and 2v8) I actually kinda appreciated that the winter event was more chill this year, I was really starting to feel "event fatigue" for lack of a better term. Snowmen and snowball fights are simple but they're still fun, I've enjoyed this event on both sides. By the time the halloween event was over I was pretty worn out of it but I haven't felt that at all with this event.
