Map offerings

What's wrong with them making map offerings 100% again, but just making them extremely rare in the blood web?

    Rarity doesn't mean much in this game unfortunately; if you make it rarer that just means the people with more bloodpoints to spend with have more of them than those who don't. It wouldn't really fix the issue much unfortunately.

    The Ebony Mori is a iridescent killer offering, the highest rarity, and Killers still bring it all the time. Maybe it would work at first, but after a couple weeks the playerbase would have already stocked up thousands.

    I've got like 2-3k each map offering I think.
    Bloodweb appearance would not matter.

    We saw in the past that this does not work.

    Example: syringes, styptics, BNPs

    Yeah and play again only on 5 maps on and on with both roles as killer and even as survivor, thanks but no I dont wanna get into this situation where its erie, rpd, badham, badham, erie, garden of (not)joy, badham, gideon and on and on nothing else plus like other 3 maps that were survivor sided because one guy wanted to it was very funny just made me almost to maining top killers and expecting every killer who got that map throught offering to play like comp sweat because what he could know all lobby stacked with medkits and he got survvior sided map through offering, I very glad this bs nightmare is already over.

    Thing is ebony mori does way less than map offerings that have 100% chance of giving you that map they are for and even with that anti map offering addon there is still chance that map can be choosen (it kills that 100% but doesnt ban that map so it can be still be picked).

    Ebony mori like all iri things (offerings and adons) are super easy to get on p100 characters you get like 2-3 per bloodweb level which costs what like game and half or two which isnt a lot and compare to guarantee map offerings all that mori does is just instead of picking the survivor when he is dead hook to have option to kill him in animation in that on the ground which counters like saves and thats it but guarantee map gives you way upper hand than ebony mori in matter of fact map offerings should be iri and mori just green (now with new rarity collors blue).

    Map offerings were fine the way they were. If someone didn‘t like them they could always just use a sacrificial ward and remove them.

    They would have to use them all the time. Thats the problem

    You don‘t have to bring one if don’t you have a problem with them. It’s a decision you’ve made. I never used the sacrificial ward as killer nor as survivor, because I didn‘t care whether someone uses them. I was bringing midwich, lerry’s, games and Hawkins offerings on both sides, not because of their strenght. I just liked their aesthetics and that they are indoor maps. The normal map rotation is ######### in my opinion and map offerings allowed you to get diffrent maps to spice things up from time to time than getting the same 5 over and over again. It made the game way more interesting, but it got taken out because people cry over everything in this community and behavior classically listens to them.

    It made the game repetitive because the majority were just bringing the same, unbalanced maps. So the issue you have with their removal… is an issue that it was causing anyway.

    You could always spice it up yourself if you didn‘t, you chose that yourself

    Wrong, bringing map offerings means you can't bring a sac ward, so other people will bring one too, so the game is gonna choose between what would usually be 2 maps. So it's undeniable that they reduced map variety. Map variety is not the same as agency to pick a map, which is something that shouldn't be in the game because it doesn't fit the vision.

    You had two choices either let players chose or the game. It was on the players to decide what happens. It was far better than what it is now, where there is nothing you can influence and you get the same annoying maps over and over. Letting people play their favorite maps and allowing them to bring in some variety was fine and not a big deal. I guess some people like having 20 trashy offerings, that do nothing. It‘s not like players who disliked it couldn’t deal with it before.
