Absolutely horrific rewards, zero reason to log-in lol

Yeah, why being so stingy with the iri shards?
Pretty much every prior year, we've had at least 3k shards, and some levels worth of Pass XP.
This year's roadmap only has 1k shards and mostly BP. No pass XP either30 -
Is that for real!?
So incredibly stingy. Only 400 iri shards on Christmas day when we got 1K in previous years.
With all the rewards together, there's barely enough there for a single basic cosmetic piece. You couldn't even buy a perk from the shrine with that. Wow, thanks BHVR. I'll try not to spend them all in one place.

They want you to buy cosmetics, not use Shards!
29 -
Crazy. Inflation is even hitting imaginary currencies.
But this is exactly why I've been amassing shards for the last month or two. I'm getting those ugly sweaters for free y'all.
28 -
Yeah..I dont understand the reduction in rewards this year.
19 -
Has the game run out of shards or something?
23 -
now you compare this to marvel rivals where they are giving away free shards to buy skins in the store

2022: 4500 shards
2023: 3000
2024: 2750
2025: 100024 -
Looks like yet another virtual stocking filled with coal from BHVR 😂

Are we really surprised at this point? They've been reducing rewards since the anniversary event. And we all know what they're going to do for the Bone Chill event: Just guarantee one (maybe) winter firecracker and one mystery box in every bloodweb for P100 characters.
13 -
I wonder to what extent FNAF meant a 'new start' from BHVR's perspective or how many of the new players are still around. 900 shards would still be a nice bonus to a player who started over the summer.
Or maybe they've just gotten incredibly stingy.

They are probably hoping people will spend some money on some christmas gifts for themselves aka skins.
Ill spend money when the game is fixed. <3
6 -
That's exactly what it is. They want people to buy auric cells.
13 -
We don't even get anything extra for Christmas eve. Just the standard 50k BP. Amazing.
Given how bloody awful 2025 has been for Dbd you would think they would be a bit more generous.

inb4 they feel the outcry and change it. I have faith* in you, BHVR!

I understand them not wanting to give Iridescent Shards.
But c'mon man, what are those blood point rewards? 50K? That's one killer game worth of points.
Also no rift fragments?
Here's hoping the Bone Chill event has more rewards than the Halloween event, because the login rewards are definitely not gonna get people to login.

the base price of the game already feels more like a demo with all the new stuff added and they cant even give out 9000 shards honestly ought to be ashamed if anything they may as well give a small amount of auric cells considering that we didnt get this game for free anyways but no just drip feed a pathetic 50k bp

You explaining the image was honestly more amusing than if the image worked.
The words "pipe chugging fat man" got giggling & kicking my feet in bed 🤭

And still the people log in…

You know, despite all the issues over the years, I always felt like BHVR loved the game and its players. Some changes were big misses, sure, but I always felt like they meant well.
This year it feels like something fundamental has shifted in their attitude toward the player base. It's as though they have the view that these losers are going to play regardless of what we do and how we treat them. It's not even the gameplay issues that bother me that much, but how they treat their community, and how we keep getting content pushed out that's threadbare or broken. The Walking Dead "map". The problems with the Walking Dead Stream. A Rift many struggled to complete because they massively increased the requirements. A Rift with half the usual content and some of it still not released (Claudette's head for her outfit). I'm sure people could list others.
I mean, they explained the issue with the current Rift having far fewer cosmetics than normal on an issue with an outside contractor, with yet another promise to "do better" with their communication (how many of those promises have we had recently?). But what's the excuse for being so miserly with the login rewards? It's hard to be anything but cynical about it, especially after the year we've had.

Amen.

It does feel like self-sabotaging lately.
I wish we could be more generous. Especially with 49 surviviors, 41 or 42 killers in the roster.
It's not like we will be maxing them up with those gifts easily.Also every character has dozens of skins, 3k shards would not make a difference for the company.
I think that's my first year that I am not buying cosmetics.
I already bought what I wanted (and more!) with the shards and chucky's sweater with left-over aurics.4 -
Maybe they’ll drop a code that’s only valid on the week of Christmas, maybe even just the day of.
3 -
Then don't log in. It's not like they're required to give away anything, so rather appreciate free points instead of complaining y'all.

What a stingy year. Less cakes on aniversary now less shards on Christmas.
All that along with less content and more bugs.5 -
Cosmetics are so expensive too so it's not even like 1k shards even gets you much.
3 -
And the code only works if you sell them
your soulyour datalink your account and watch a specific Twitch stream, which then fails to work properly3 -
You most likely get more iri shards from the quest they are going to release when the real ingame event starts at 9.12.
-6 -
you cant even buy Iri Shards, so them being stungy with them makes no sense. well it does, but thats due to DbD having no competitors
4 -
I won't be.
The game is in a ######### state and they're cheap? Lmao.
10 -
Oh, BHVR, you really shouldn’t have… I mean, 50,000 BP? Wow. I can level up one whole bloodweb. You guys are truly generous!
And the shards? Please, your kindness knows no bounds. I’m so close to being able to afford a single piece of that cosmetic I’ve been eyeing.
Thanks for everything you do for this game and community. Really. :)

The lack of shards given in the game being increased, and even being decreased, is seriously disgusting.
Theres MORE killers and MORE survivors. Which means shards mean LESS. FARR less than what they used to mean, or be of value.
Them giving even less now is literally disgusting and shows how much they truly don't care about their "fanbase" / players.
NOBODY should be spending money on dbd, right now, with the state the game is in. NOBODY should be rewarding them for them being GARBAGE at what they do, and making experienced, skilled players miserable.
As far as I'm concerned, less shards being given means less of my money going towards them via auric cells, chapter purchases, etc.
if they stopped being greedy and disgustingly and unfairly so, and actually increased the amount of shards being given to players, as they should, then I'd spend more of my money, for them.
I have an INSANELY high level on dbd, at least 3000 hours, and barely have any outfits that cost shards, for survivors and killers. It takes insanely long for one good outfit for one character.
And now there's tons of new characters, and tons of new outfits for each of them.
Stop rewarding them for their disgusting greediness.
Sad asf to see games I like be owned by horrible corporations. Loved phasmophobia when it came out. now its disgustingly greedy and no good development put into the game, etc. same as dbd.

Joke's on you—the new original chapters have by and large been so uninteresting to me that I always have Shards saved up now. 😵

Did we get the sweaters and weapons in previous years (not last year)?
I know we got the snowman dredge, I'm just trying to think if thats why0 -
It is not even P100.. My Feng is P68 and she gets maybe one event item/offering in 4 to 5 bloodwebs.. same for everyone else.. even the chars who are P1 xD It is so bad this year..
1 -
Yep, I'm seeing that now that I'm getting a few Prestige levels on Rick. Good thing I don't plan to use any of these offerings.

new survivor asian girl whatveer her name is, and the karasue are both pretty unintersting. ngl. expected a lot better with the karasue. been a thing in horror games for a long time and dbd finally adds it and all she really does is fly, and shoot goop while in human form…………….. yikes.
the unknown chapter was great though. sable good, unknown great. lore wise specifically. gameplay isnt bad either.

why would not instantly refund the walking dead chapter after seeing how low quality and low effort the audio part of it was???
I bought it, genuinely happy to have walking dead in dbd, just to hear Rick sounds like a black guy, and also nothing like his character, hear deryl from other ppl using his skin, sound nothing like himself, and hear michonne sound like a white woman, and nothing like herself.
I genuinely dont understand why you wouldnt refund that chapter after seeing how terrible it is. And then some players even continue buying skins for the walking dead characters. absolutely crazy….
Like we're getting fed garbage by the devs, and people continue to give them money… I've stopped spending money on the game like half a year ago by now.
1 -
Well, at least the new Quality of Life Initiative "chapter" finally fixed most of the game's problems and made it much better overall!
0 -
Because I just want the characters. That's it. If you don't want to buy anything else in the game, that's fine, too.
3 -
It's because they want money - it's greed. Probably to makeup for the loss of player count after all the recent poor decisions that have been made steering players away
