are the incentives scared to go to the killer role?
i swear for the past 2 weeks i’ve only seen the bp incentive on the survivor role and every time i queue up as survivor im guaranteed to have a 3+ minute queue. i play a lot at night which is normal for a lot of survivor players since more of their friends are available to play after work and such. so you would think that the incentive would go to the killer role right? nope. it’s either incentive on survivor or no incentive at all. i checked the dead by queue website and it says the event queue time for survivor on na east is 6 MINUTES on average right now and sure enough i’m waiting 5 1/2 minutes for a game with a 1.50x bp bonus… why are we incentivizing people to play the role that is overloaded?? it just makes 0 sense to me.

When he event started at least on the server I played killer incentive was 1.5x so it does happen. I was going to play survivor but then saw the incentive and was like well I play killer then.

if you don’t mind me asking, what region do you play on? asking because this might just be a region issue.

Same for me but honestly its almost same just bonus for survivor but the rule is same fast lobby on survivor in day time and even faster on killer in night time where survivors gets like 5 minutes which is same as killer in day time.

BP incentives have been broken for at least a year now. BHVR don’t seem too concerned as they obviously haven’t fixed them yet, nor have they even bothered to mention anything about them being broken or any plans to fix them.

Killer queue times were even fast when krasue hit live and thats time when new killer comes then killer queue times are super long but that patch it was fast still in day time and another interesting thing was when I played lot of survivor you had way bigger chance to meet mayers than op krasue which was kinda funny.
I have seen that bonus like one day but then its never on killer and funniest thing is survviors queue times should be super fast (because bp bonus multiplier was created to reward the less played side not vice versa) but it seems its all time on survivor even the fact killers are more wanted lately by my queue times where I even had one time lobby in less than one minute and I remember like almost year ago I even had lobby as killer few seconds after I pressed find game which was kinda strange but not that bad.

My survivor queues are quite instant. I would say if there is some waiting its just because the current matchmaking seems to be now favoring more MMR than time in the queue on my own observation. So that can cause you to have to wait even if the incentive is on your side of the queue. You also have to take into account the ratio of what kind of groups of survivors are queuing. Like three man teams can only get solos in their matches and duos can have solos or duos. So even if the is incentive if there is no right MMR or right group sizes it can make you queue a little bit longer than the instant you might expect it to be doing. Like you might not have those smaller groups that much but have a lot of three man or four man teams. In peak hours it also could be caused by server amounts so if there is no free server at the time you might have to wait to get one too but that one is most likely not that common but even that has happened in the history of this game. In the end the queuing in this game is not that simple as you just readying up and being put to a server as it does take into account a lot of variables before it does that sometimes its faster sometimes its slower.

It's broken for more than a year at this point, at least on EU servers.
0% bonus, yet queue time under 30 seconds….
Funny is my bug report from November 2024 is still "Under review". I guess Operation Revert was their priority.3 -
Did the incentive ever worked as intended?
I often saw Survivor with 2 times bloodpoints and still only got the normal amount.
Playing EU here
Killer quque like 3 seconds
Survivor between 30 to a minute (playing solo)
