Seriously, calm down already during special events.

I just want less map offerings so I can see the new Ormond map.

it’s okay for people to try to win a game

there is an event offering. Usually, players use less map offerings when there is an event offeirng for extra BP. Thus, some will still use them due to skill issues

I find that early on in the events it's usually chill, but the later the event goes on — the more you find people who "sweat".

Additionally, there are people who try to play the event in a "nice" way and then get completely steamrolled on survivor/killer. These killers/survivors then queue up and take the game more seriously, causing the little cyclical tournament style of gameplay you find.

At the end of the day, one side wants to win so you have both sides equally sweating unless the other party makes it absolutely obvious that they want to have some sort of snowball fight or whatever. 😊

I don't really know what you mean with relax, except some weird stealth-plays and annoying people by throwing snowballs at them while chasing there isn't much of a difference. It's almost the same like the normal mode so of course I also play like I normally do xD

People can and will play how they want but yeah I do find it a bit lame when people go into events to sweat like they are competing for money but not much you can really do about it sadly

For me it’s been quite chill. I’m killer main but I play survivor about 50% of the time. Had a few sweaty killers but mostly chill ones after tossing them a few snowballs.

As killer I start a bit sweaty but after I get 2 survivors killed I let the other 2 finish gens and escape.

Yeah I have had to put in sacrificial wards to get there lol

Thx, I hope so as well.

I've had some fun snowball fights already but yeah, it's just luck of the draw whether or not you get players in your lobby that want to play a relatively chill match and mess around with the event stuff.

I think part of the problem is that BHVR have split the queues into two again, but undermined the main point of doing so by locking all the cool cosmetics behind actually participating in the event. So even players that don't want to queue up for snowball fights and being a sneaky snowman are forced to join the event queue because that's the only way to earn all the new goodies.

Exactly! It’s FREE TIME for the Killer!

I was playing a game of doctor tonight, and not "the mean doctor build" either, lol. And I played pretty casually the entire time, no slugging, camping, and when I took literally ten steps away from the hook and a nice cage ran up to unhook right in my face, I just left and let them reset. How did I get rewarded for this? Constant blast mines (bad time to run eruption I suppose hehehe) and a nice cage almost dying to the entity because he wanted to badly to t bag me at the exit gates that the clock was almost up before he darted to safety. Lol.

In the end, it's hard to know why people do the things that they do. Maybe the group were giggling and having a great time seeing me flash minded. Maybe the nice cage was saying thank you with his twerking. Maybe he was saying I was the best doctor ever as he boot scoot boogied out the door. The world will never know.

i feel you dude. I played a few as survivor and its just more tunneling and slugging. Meanwhile when im killer i play as santa clown and try to initiate snowball fights and reward those with the xmas spirit…but punish those who dont.

if winning is that important, just stick to regular 1v4. I feel like the "Comp" kid mindset genuinely ruins games and turns it into a sweat fest where people are heavily biased. They have 0 ability to chill out

I dunno about anyone else but I'm starting to feel event mode fatigue. This one in particular has nothing truly special going on (barely anyone uses the snowmen, and the game isn't exactly built for repeated friendly social interaction) but if you want better queues and rewards you're hard pressed not to play it. Which makes me just not want to play at all, you know?

The question was always about the price. During the Halloween event, I realized that farming pumpkins and ghosts was more profitable than killing survivors. For those who don't know, during the event, there is a 5th category for filling blood points. On Halloween, my games looked like this. I received from 60,000 to 12,000 (cake) blood points. I didn't care what the survivors did, as long as they didn't interfere and didn't drag out the game after the 5th category was completely filled (I got bored and went to kill them).

Now I see that snowmen and playing snowballs with survivors have an interaction limit. Let's say that if I can't collect 60,000 blood points per match again. Then I have bad news for the survivors. Of course, I will conduct tests with the offering, but something tells me that the developers have fixed their previous assumption.

For the record, you can play for fun, but this is usually during the completion of the tome and 2-3 games. Then the usual routine game - kill them all.

For max bp it's actually better for the killer to drag the game out, chase and hook each survivor 3 times, kick a bunch of gens, break a bunch of pallets/doors, and do the event things. Slugging and hard tunneling are the least efficient ways to gain bp. You literally get penalized the shorter the match as well as bleed outs and losing a hook state to the entity. All this sweating for bp is counter productive if your actually goal is the get bp. The problem is that isn't the case all they want are wins and that's it.

What's even more weird as that win conditions in this game are very subjective. You can loop all game and then get left on hook to die and it counts as a lose even though you cooked up the killer all match.

I have all perks and at the very least 500 of each addon, bp could not be more irrelevant to me.

And while yes as you say the balance of items and killers is iffy, still trying to win a match against the rare pub team thats actually good is very entertaining, hence why I like to be in top mmr (which is funny because top mmr cap is incredibly low so even in top mmr you still have a lot of people who are not good), if I wanted to face Ai Ill just join a custom match, I like facing good opponents.

Funny. I usually find it the other way around. Usually (to me) it looks like the basement dwelling event lurkers are most active during the first half of the event. And when they've gotten all of their event tomes done, they go back into hiding to wait for the next event. Which usually means games turn into more on the chill side.

I have two p100, three at p50+ and continue to level Lara right now. I have literally thousands of addons of each rarity on my Piggy that im never going to use. Despite this, there is always new content that requires bp to be spend. If its not relevant to you, there are a ton of others that its very relevant to.

Dont get me wrong, I want to be challenged in dbd. I challenge myself by not bringing the best and most optimal stuff every game (literally stbfl only - Pig). However, I dont play every match to lose either. Sometimes winning a match is fun to me, sometimes losing a very good match is fun to me. It depends on the situation.

As stated before, Im very much aware, that winning a match in dbd is sometimes not realistically doable with some killers against certain loadouts. Sometimes there is no getting better. Its simply the limitation of the killers strenght.

I never said, I want to face AI. I want to face good players. Not people that boost their loadouts to unbeatable levels. Sadly this is what higher play in dbd almost always looks like.

I just expressed another point of view of the killers who don't care about blood points.

I'm more convinced by these numbers. Despite the broken offering. I can become good. The main thing is that the warriors of light and other survivors don't interfere with me. Change the build again.
