Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

People feel forced to play both Killer & Survivor or FOMO for event rewards?

Okay let's chat.

The current Chaos Shuffle rewards for The Witcher charm, badge, and banner require you to play BOTH killer and survivor if you want all three items. Not everyone wants to play both roles and forcing them to do so feels bad for these players.

This was the case in the past when we had the special tome events that had trinket rewards for event items. Initially it forced people to play both roles.

But we worked on it together to change it so people weren't forced to play both roles anymore. That's why we've had spare trinkets lately in special tome events because you allowed people to avoid certain challenges and still earn event items. Now we're back to square one.

Some people simply don't want to play killer but they still want The Witcher rewards. And it requires a LOT of killer play with the "hit 75 basic attacks" for people who don't want to play killer at all.

Going forward please add more quests then are necessary to earn all the rewards or alter the quests so they can be completed from both roles.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

    You make a good point in that all quests kind of gotta have a solution for every side. But…
    If they did that even fewer players would play Killer cause there would be need to.

    So maybe BHVR is hoping a Quest can be motivating to try some Killer, which could be the original motivation to do such quests.

    The Quest in particular gives you 50 Rift Points, which is equal to 3 Dayli quests at 55 Rift Points.
    Is that a fair trade for BHVR to kind of prod and poke you, to give Killer a try? I think thats a point to consider here.

    The Killer one isn't so bad, just a bit of a tedious grind. I've been trying to escape twice in Chaos Shuffle for several days now and I'm already so over it.

    But I agree, it should be possible for everyone to unlock the goodies regardless of what side they prefer to play.

    I thought there was just enough quests to get all the rewards without touching the 1 killer quest in each page? As theres still another page coming. I did all the killer ones as well and still dont have enough for the 3rd reward, yet i only need like 2 or 3 more quests which they give u like or 4 or 5 in each new page

    I don't mind the attacks but 75 is a lot, especially for minimal reward.

    When they want you get kills in a specific manner or down interrupt with a grab is a bit more tricky to the point some players will miss out.

    Just to point out we don't yet even know if you need to play killer at all. If the last four is all either survivor or universal quest you don't need to play any killer matches. People seem to miss that the reward quest are also counted for finished quests. So when you get the first four quests done you already have five quests done for the eight quest one. So even if the last set of quests would be the same with one killer specific one would mean you can do 11 with survivors and only need to do one of the killer ones to get to 12, but as we still don't know about the four last quests have to see if even that one killer quest is needed.

    Not to mention it's sweat shuffle. It is already bad to play this mode as it is.

    Forcing people into classes during an event in an asymetrical game was a rly bad idea.

    I wasn't in the mood to play killer. In this time I could help other killer getting faster games.

    It was okayish to have short quests rarely for killer not bound on anything. But now they are in a regulary cycle and many other things coming together to create longer queue's for the solo side.
