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.

    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...
