Dear DbD
Can we stop with the charms, the banners and the other things? Some are cute, But what happened to community events where we got an outfit? Are we really not worth at least that much?
Ive been playing for many years. Have thousands of hrs on the game..Can we just go back? lol
Try to get the survivor/killer side to some what like each other again?

"No." - Behaviour Interactive
Serious note, they won't because it cost time and money. It's a easy cop-out. The lazy route.

"Costs time and money" They have enough money. For all the DLC's that they have put out, and all the rifts. Not to mention all the paid outfits. Theres no reason that they couldn't do 1 or 2 a year. Instead we get BP that we get EVERY SINGLE GAME. We get banners and badges, honestly I forgot about them, I dont even change mine, because I hate going into it. Event after event has been nothing but let downs for at least the past 4 years. AT LEAST.

According to their statistics, it's never enough money. Investors must make profit.

You should be thankful it's not 50k bloodpoints instead.

The last Christmas calendar was so offensive it made me puke.

For them to use bp as a "reward" is mindblowing, since thats ALL we get when actually playing the game lol

i mean i get what you mean but i have to say i kinda like it this way.
know its a 50/50 if i like the stuff we get or if i dont. when we get outfits its the same 50/50 plus an added 50/50 of if i can even use what we get cause we only get stuff for one chracter per side.

I get it, but it would show they care a little more for us. I mean at this point dlc after dlc everyone buying. The outfits everyone is buying, and all we get is the same ole rinse and repeat items.

I thought the for honour collab was pretty epic with us getting a whole charm out of that
-1 -
yeah some are jus, idk. Just kinda feels like a chore ya know? All we ever really get is bp and such. All the quests r the same quests. there is nothing new, like at all. So stale anymore.
2 -
Im sure all companies feel that way lol. But I also think they might treat their player base like they actually like them lol

- What drives me crazy is that usually the banners have a "realistic" style, while the badges (in many cases) have a "cartoon" style, so for my aesthetic sense they never match 100%. 🤣I would like the possibility of having only the banner (in general I find them really nice), without the missing badge hole
2 -
Dont get me wrong, the badges and stuff are nice. But like they used to do prime outfits too lol. I haven't seen those in a while. But I might have missed em, But yeah seems like they used to do things that would give players an outfit or something, and they just straight up stopped doing it.

- Yes, you're right, skins used to be the norm. I have a lot of skins (which I almost never use), so it doesn't really matter to me what they give, but I imagine that for the majority of players, skins are the most sought-after gift.
0 -
They were all a cute novelty at first, but I consistently skip them now. Just me personally, I don't see the point in having more things nobody pays attention to, especially after I've found what I like.
However, I'm incredibly bored with cosmetics too. They're always OK at best these days.

I honestly think its just because they went from one to the other. From skins and everyone was like "oh my god another one" to, hardly getting any at all lmfao.

I agree, There was a few that I got from Prime that were pretty stinkin cute. Sadly, all the outfits these days make you stick out like a sore thumb. I may have thousands of hrs in the game, but I cant not for the life of me run very long LOL.

And to think we thought toxic Nea was bad 🤣

- Can you imagine a collection of "urban and discreet style" skins? Like normal clothing items, colors like white, black, beige, gray... Parisian urban fashion style. I think it would sell like hotcakes. Today, the most basic skin has horns, wings, neon lights, and fireworks.
- Edit: Taurie's new skin (which I think is very well made) literally gives me the shivers... it looks like Hunk from the Umbrella Corporation🤣

God lol those were the days. And now, well..now thats all it is LMFAO.
1 -
lol, im not sure how the outfits got to where they are, but some of them. Well they can just go back to wherever they came from lmfao

Not to get all fancy but that's why I believe the art team has no fashion sense. You always need basic pieces to pull a look together. If everything has a graphic, a pattern, or a bold color, then it only works with itself. Hell, a lot of the sets we're getting don't even match together. 😭 It's fine if people wanna look busted, but it's hard for those of us that don't lmao
No kidding. I'm still mad about David's blue hair and whatever the hell they did to him in that metal rift. 😭

I personally like the charms and I enjoy collecting even if I'll never ever use 95% of them. But the banners and badges, I honestly couldn't care less about those. There are some nice ones and all but I've pretty much settled on my combo, so the opportunity to unlock new designs doesn't motivate me one bit.
I do feel like we get a lot less cool freebies than we used to a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure there were less free event cosmetics for all the events last year and then we had the imfamous near empty free track in the last rift that lasted for an age. I'm not a huge fan of the high concept cosmetics we mostly get these days in the premium track either, but that's a different discussion.
They've gradually shifted to the pricing structure and less generous give aways of a free to play game and I sense that DBD will go in that direction in the not too distant future. I don't necessarily think that will be a bad thing, just what I feel is probably going to happen.

I'm kinda the opposite to you, I like some nice banners and badges as I find them much more visible than charms (survivor ones anyway) that I never bother equipping
1 -
I dunno, since the banners and badges are only visible on the scoreboard, I don't really get the point of them to be honest. I do really like some of them, like the Legion Pumpkins. They just don't excite me the way a cool charm does.
I really enjoy kitting out my Survivors with charms that I think they would equip. For example, my Claudette has all plant themed ones. And Lara has artifacts that I think she would go adventuring for outside of the Fog (Necronomicon and the Lament Configuration as well as a mimic chest from D&D). My Ripley sometimes has cat themed charms. Just being able to add role playing details like that adds a little something to the game for me.
I also like repping my mains on my other characters. All my male Survivors and The Legion have the Meg doll equipped and the Susie doll charm from The Casting of Frank Stone is always equipped on my Meg. Obviously I love my charms but to each their own, I guess.

This is kind of my stance. I've already spent hundreds on cosmetics, there's not a lot that I see that compels me to open my wallet anymore after getting a few nice sets.
Badges and Banners? I don't even bother getting them unlocked, they're sorta just there. All the new cosmetics do is add more monetization to the game, although it's already at the point where nobody who isn't rich or stupid is going to be buying every 15$ outfit that releases.
Maybe I'm a hypocrite, as I still expect to open my wallet when another Springtrap skin or that Foxy Blight legendary comes out, but it's also not an unpopular opinion that more focus should be put on the game itself than its digital storefront.

Free skins are nice, but what if it’s for a character you don’t like or don’t play? With banners/badges, everyone can use them regardless of which side they prefer or which characters they main.
1 -
Thing is does anyone watches charms and banners? Like on hook maybe it will hit your eyes but on survivor its something you wont pay attention even on the hook it isnt for me easy to spot unless is something bright like dam rainbow flag that has multiple collors easy to spot but some dark mutated bat thats something I wont notice.
Skins thats different story and it would be very nice especialy with events like I remember one of those Halloween event where that flowers were introduced (later blights ones he uses to get serum with but there were used on storyes animations how hr colects them as survivor and experiments on individual killers like trapper), there were firts blighted skins on 3 killers and survivors but things like these are long gone where getting event points was 1000% worth it.

We are swimming in mostly ugly, weird ones, too. Every event is basically a new set, rarely matching and usually ugly or uninspired. The events should be animated ones, and then there's the recycling of them. Why? Easy to put together a jpeg and crop it, but they keep bringing some back.

There can never be enough charms.
Especially crow charms. I need more, much more.2 -
I miss the Amazon Prime stuff packs too.

Ive just had the same shanoa symbol badge and the simon belmont castlevania 1 banner since they came out. In hopes they someday make them both legendaries.
Might use the cthulhu banner in hopes they might make a lovecraft chapter.
Aside from that tho i do miss getting the outfits. Like we probly coulda had a cthulhu skin for a killer during this 2v8 if they were still doing those. But nope, a cat charm
0 -
Yeah, I agree. While I like the charms and banners. But an outfit or a shirt would be nice to get instead.
0 -
As someone that doesn't use badges or banners and hasn't changed charms since they first came out, I agree. The only time we see free outfits now (recolors) are on the rift. I wish they could team up with the art department that handled cosmetics for mobile dbd.
0 -
I agree, honestly. With the 2v8 gamemode coming back and forth, they could at least expand the Blood and Bones collection.
Y'know, the one with the odd masks and the white/red color scheme.
Or some new lunar recolors with the lunar "event"
