    Suppose there is an question of scope and of course UI implementation time vs. player engagement. If you give stats in player profile, what stats do you provide? How deep and thorough do you go? How many players actually care? Is there any actual value/incentive to implement such a feature?

    Lets be realistic, much as we wouldn't want to admit it, there is actual value to distributing these things via a newsletter, since the newsletter drives player engagement and makes the newsletter something that can advertise products and contact players for marketing purposes (since we give permissions for that when signing up to the newsletter... we are the product).

    What is the actual incentive to provide these stats in game? Would be nice? Nice doesn't fund the development time/investment unfortunately... and though it sucks to admit, that IS the name of game once all is said and done.

    Hmm, I can flag this issue to the team. So to confirm I'm understanding, you've opted in to receive the newsletter, but it will occasionally stop sending them to you?

    Do any of settings in your BHVR account change when this occurs (i.e. boxes being unchecked)? Out of interest, how often would you say this happens for you?

    I've read this message like 4 times in a row and I've got 0 clue.

    What stats? What recaps? What newsletters?

    Based on the message, I think I'll pass.

    Your personal ingame stats of 2024 through BHVRs newsletters, which you can sign up on their website to opt in and out, and its also how you connect your steam, playstation, xbox, etc to be able to have cross progression.

    I've been subscribed to the newsletter for a long time, and I've received via email codes for blood points, amulet codes, and a banner during various events.

    People have been asking for a personal stats page in game for years now. It's been asked in Q&As and BHVR has tried using the excuse that players that have been playing for years would be upset that they'd start at 0 with new players when implemented because they don't save the stats - every time the old players have said we don't care that we'd have same start date.

    I'd be fine if they just added it to a section on our BHVR account if not directly in game. That'd drive engagement to their site instead of an external one that players go to now to upload their data manually. The newsletter is just too unreliable to use for something like this that alot of players have been asking for for years - and it being so unreliable isn't great for BHVR to use it for marketing either.

    Fair point, also dont mind me, I play Devil's Advocate a lot 😅

    That makes sense, I think that'd be a solid suggestion/improvement. 🤔

    My stats are going to be terrible but I'm intrigued nonetheless

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    I wonder how detailed these stats will be. Like will it just show how many kills and escapes you got. Or will be a breakdown of how many escapes and kills with each survivor and killer.

  • TheSubstitute

    Is it broken down by Killer for kill rates? If so, I'm interested.

    https://account.bhvr.com/ website is just a blank screen for me. (Firefox, Brave and Edge / with or without a VPN active)

    Nevermind: I found out that the Behavior Account website uses https://cmp.osano.com/ to load scripts; which may be flagged by many of my active security systems: Antivirus/DNS protection/Tracking protection/Ad blockers/Script protection (on my PC and mobile) as a tracker/ad server, and it was being blocked: I added it to the VPN's websites list that should be redirected through it and now Behaviour Account loads correctly.

    The info of it being a tracker can be also found in Ghostery's WhoTracks.Me

    Stats would be cool to see but I'm neither making an account for that nor connecting that account to anything.

  • I_Cant_Loop

    100% agree. This should be available in the game itself and not force players to sign up for a newsletter they may not want. It would also be great if BHVR published live stats for kill rates/escape rates for all killers, MMR levels, # of SWF together, etc. I doubt they ever will - there's a reason they haven't done it over all these years when they very easily could have.

    I’ve had this issue too. I had to sign up for the newsletter with 3 different email accounts before I finally started getting newsletters on the third one. I’ve never received a newsletter on the first two and on the one that does work, sometimes I get one and sometimes I don’t.

    Anything that is any kind of reward, in game code, BP code etc or this recap should come thru our in game message system rather than newsletters imo.

    Newsletter never worked for me, even tho i've my accounts connected etc. Will it work this time?

    I hate that they force you to participate in the personal data sharing if you want the iri shards, as if subscribing to the newsletter wasnt enough...

    It's mainly the cost associated with maintaining a live dashboard. Tableau licenses can cost $3 million/yr, for example

    So not only do we have to create an uneccessary account, we have to link it and then subscribe to a e-mail newsletter. We are also getting tracked. I bet the newsletter also includes tracking elements. Why, BHVR, why? Just give us the stats in game instead of collecting our data (and possibly giving it away to third partys).

    Simple rule of life, nothing is free.

    Simple rule of the Internet, if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product.

  • MakeThemScream

    We paid for the game, we are paying for DLCs, we are paying for skins, we are paying for the rift pass. This is not a free game. We are already paying.

  • UndeddJester
    UndeddJester Member Posts: 3,645

    It's also a live service game, so unless you want to pay a subscription, the post still stands 😉

  • MakeThemScream
    MakeThemScream Member Posts: 72

    As I said, Rift Pass, Skins, DLCs are paid for. They can calculate all costs and put it into the price of these. No need to take personal data. And we do not even know, if they make money with the data. I saw so many organizations taking personal data and not doing anything with it. Or worse, give it for free to third parties like facebook, google etc..

  • UndeddJester
    UndeddJester Member Posts: 3,645

    Did you know it's actually illegal to take data you don't need? It's against the data protection act to collect unnecessary data, if you can't explain why you hold particular data, you can be fined for it.

    You are also legally responsible for the security of that data, large fines if you fail to secure that data. You can only share data for relevant business purposes and with the permission of the user the data is from.

    You as a customer are also legally entitled to request exactly what data a company holds on you, and why, and ask for your data to be deleted at any time completely. No exceptions.

    So everything you've described is illegal, there are ways around it with obviously terms and conditions and what not, and there is an issue with companies trying to hide nasty clauses in terms and conditions agreements as a means of avoiding such legality; Disney being a prime example. However all the concerns you have raised are concerns that unless you have evidence to the contrary, you shouldn't buy into the idea its inherently corrupt and illegal to collect data.

    BHVR want to collect your data to market to you, to use your data for informing it's marketting decisions to offer services and goods you may be interested in purchasing. If you don't want that, that is fine, you can opt out, but there are no reasons to have illusions or misunderstandings regarding what BHVR are doing with that data, it is pretty clear what they want it for, and the decisions ultimately is your to make.

    This is something the community has been asking about forever. I hope it comes to fruitition. There's literally no mechanical reason, its purely a choice to implement or not. Lets see what happens.
