3rd iteration of Chaos Shuffle is lackluster

Considering the 2nd iterations of Lights Out and 2v8 saw numerous changes to the gameplay (significant ones in the case of 2v8, too), the fact that 3rd Chaos Shuffle is the exact same as the 1st one is underwhelming. It was adverstised as "D&D themed" but there's precisely 0 difference between its 1st and 3rd iterations. The skin collection is DnD themed, sure, but it has no ties to the game mode itself. At least randomized items/addons would be decent enough, but there's nothing.

    I played 2 games then went to the normal mode. My favorite part of the game is the perks and how you can mix them with different addon and killers to make a fun build. I played it alot the first time it was the only mode I played but rn doesn’t hit the same at least for me. I like playing bubba and not having bamboozle or enduring is a real pain

    Sure, one could have been confused it with them having a Castlevania themed Lights Out event.
    A note to take away from this is make sure language is clear regarding theme and not themed.

    I thought there were something more in this event like in each match, this could be because charms, banners and icons no longer feels special more like, they are now fully adopted and expected each chapter.

    So lets check if the language was bad or unclear:

    Bah its a tossup, The only place where it is said that the Chaos Shuffle is "dnd themed" is in the second section, in the upcoming collections. Rose DOES clearly say its a Skin collection, but she also says the Chaos Shuffle is DND themed, which does not seem to be the case. It clearly seems to be Chaos Shuffle with a Skin collection. The only way this makes sense is that BHVR has to cut some Chaos Shuffle Content, or that its just a simple mistake in light of the recent Castlevania themed Lights Out event.

    I mean, I did not pay enough attention, but it seems weird that in the Upcoming Collection section we would get the Store Manager Rose to talk about something happening in game, in the trials being dnd themed. Nah, I made this mistake. They would need to bring out the handsome white guy with the glasses, I dont recall his name, the EVENT GUY.

    EDIT: JUSTIN BANKS, is the EVENT GUY, or senior product manager.

    Also there's no +50% BP for the event queue for some reason.

    DnD themed just means you get the DnD chapter perks shoved into your build 9 times out of 10 (in my experience). If I have the displeasure of using dark arrogance one more time I stg. It's seriously driving me up a wall how many times I've gotten that hot steamy pile of garbage. I'd rather run deerstalker x4.
