any responses to the backlash from (or lack there of) the rift?
or are yall just gonna ignore it until the anger dissipates? is there a specific reason why there's way less content, and a bunch a recolours of the same outfit copy and pasted 4 times? for the same price? super disappointing.
saw a post saying the free rift doesnt even add up to 1mil bloodpoints (as if 1mil is even enough) it should be like 5mil+ i dont know why you keep feeding us scraps of bloodpoints when it doesnt even affect the business' profits, shards i can understand because of cosmetics and what not, but bloodpoints? really? stop being so stingy.
man yall really have gotten so lazy and way too comfortable giving the community #########.
also fyi - adding a bunch of weird flaps onto cosmetics doesnt make them look worth more money!!! i have a sneaking suspicion the reason you've gave us less content is because of the player survey you had us do a few months ago after houndmasters release where you asked if the cosmtics looked… i cant remember the exact words but was something like "expensive/premium/high quality/worth their price in other words) and i feel a lot of people said no, so you've resorted to doing this thing (i see a lot with cosmetics now) where you make them look ridiculous with like dracula/dnd/forklore vibes adding loads of flaps and feathers and other unnecessary junk onto cosmetics expecting us to think they look a more high quality when they just look like crap. im sorry but they do. and i feel like you think yourselves, that you've put more effort into making the cosmetics look higher quality (when they dont) meaning its ok to give us less content in the rift? it's giving delusional i cant lie. maybe im delusional for thinking yall were actually on the road to improving this god for saken game. im so over yall atm.

100% they are gonna play the waiting game and hope we will forget it in a few days. That's why its so important to have threads like this.

Making Trickster the lead character feels like they're hoping the whales jump on-board. They might, but I don't know that that will save anything. I ranted in another thread about it, but the quality alone is lesser so the pricing feels like the final nail in the coffin. Unless they really wow us next year, the Rift is just not worth it.

Of course not

Don't worry guys, 500k bps code incoming to calm things down.

Pretty sure they're stingy with BP so you keep grinding for items and add-ons. My p100 survivor is such a waste of points that I barely spend on him anymore and even so, I'm always just scraping by on my other bloodwebs, especially playing with multiple killlers and survivors. Despite playing everydayv (with multiplier offerings) I usually have no BP.

Not that I'm defending the new rift (it's shockingly empty) but it's only been, what, two days? Official responses can take a little longer than that sometimes, if they feel the need to comment at all.
Which I hope they do. I'd love to know what on earth is going on there.

You won’t see any response unless revenue starts to dramatically drop. The only reason BHVR continues to get away with releasing sub-par quality content is because people keep spending money on the game. Nothing is going to change unless people start voting with their wallets.

The developer just posted a statement on social media

Yes! Natively:
We appreciate all the feedback on the Reverence Rift and the upcoming Halloween Event, and we'd like to keep the conversation open about our plans going forward.
After changes with our production partners temporarily halting development of recolored outfits, we brought Deep Rift items earlier in the Premium Track as well as rebalanced the Charms & Player Cards in the Free & Premium tracks to compensate, resulting in an increased disparity between the two.
We understand the value that the Rift brings our players & the importance of a rewarding experience, so starting with the next Rift, in addition to bringing back recolored outfits, we will be making adjustments to strike a better balance between the tracks.

It definitely felt like a step back compared to previous rifts.
Not giving too many incentives to get the premium pass, I'm afraid0 -
The response is appreciated and its great that the next one will be back to the usual standards, but it doesn't really fix the issue of this one being simply not worth it.
Transparency on the front end would have been better than waiting for backlash and then going "oops". It's gonna take work to earn that trust back.11 -
Constant apologies, im sick of it. Should have seen it coming when the trailer obscures the skins so much, it's because there's barely any of them and they suck.
Barely going to be any incentive to play over the next few months23 -
Acknowledging is one thing but you we'll see if they follow through with action.
While I understand why they most probably can't do anything this Rift and that's why the say from the next Rift, you'd think they could easily increase the BP, Auric cell and Shard gains in the Rift. It's a little compensation at least.

Idk about that, who really plays trickster. Plus the survivor picks are also really unpopular characters minus claudette i guess.
-1 -
I agree. We need actions not small talk

Trickster is a favorite. Not necessarily in terms of how often he's picked, but in terms of how often people are willing to spend money to dress him up. Vittorio being in the Rift is also a safe bet. Unfortunately, they keep making things for him that the average Vittorio main wouldn't wear.

it could also be because Tricksters rework is supposedly some time soon. That's also possibly the reason skull merchant was chosen for the Halloween event. Just marketing for these characters before their 'big moment'.
1 -
Yeah and u prefer simple give us a worse product because your partnet get out ? and if players didnt complain to better things u always will give this poor work? Blame the other is the easiest way to apologize for your mistakes

Also a good point.

Could we get a clarification on the Production Partners? Do you mean you outsourced the cosmetics? Also, can we get a better clarification on the twitter message. The wording on it seems confusing.

The responses on that are on point too. If BHVR knew this would be an issue, why didn't they communicate that beforehand? Why didn't/don't they discount the Rift now? It's a hollow apology in my opinion.
5 -
Who are these 'production partners', and does that mean you are outsourcing things like cosmetic recolours entirely?
5 -
I think they've outsourced for years, if you look at art station as far back as Silent Hill even the Alessa Gillespie outfit was outsourced.

I sure hope so. If I were a new player joining the game with this Rift and only had access to the free characters, there's not a single free skin that I could unlock for any of my characters this rift (aside from Adam's community skin if you bought the game on Switch).
You guys are usually generous enough to put at least one recoloured skin for a base game Survivor/Killer in the free track and I hope that practice makes a return in the next rift.

Can you fix THIS rift?
9 -
Another apology (one after another each month) won't fix the damage that has been done. If you really want to fix it, fix this rift. I am not waiting 4 months for "we will do next time better" yet again. It's exhausting. Nothing but just empty words.

Why didn't they just put the fall cosmetics into the rift to make up for it….?
5 -
I was wondering what the issue with the rift was so I scrolled through it and wow - there is practically nothing on the free track. Like a couple of banners or badges, one survivor outfit and the spooky sheet ghost Dredge cosmetic - that's it? I'm currently not in a place where I can blow disposable income on the paid track so other than noticing it seems pretty packed I didn't really look through it too much beyond seeing what the Trickster skin was.
Don't get me wrong - I love the sheet ghost concept and all but for it to be the only thing I care about in this rift and practically at the very end makes the whole thing a very 'meh' experience.
