About the survey...

So, I was taking the survey when something quickly caught my eye.

’A purchasable pass’..? Like a tier-pass found in games such as Black Ops 4, Fortnite, and PubG..?A lot of these games have pulled this and most of them haven't been amazing and have caused a lot of controversy. I’m not denying that this could be an interesting idea, but it was something that easily caught my attention in wondering what ‘rewards’ and ‘bonuses’ could be.

Could any of you guys explain this in better detail? @Peanits @not_Queen @Patricia

    Probably ugly cosmetics, maybe 1 good one and then bp boosts or something.

    Yeah some of the survey questions really put me off. Like this one. I don't know what direction they want to go, but this sounds bad tbh.

    Where is the survey at?

    Yeah.. that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not a fan of pay to win unless it's a free to play game.

    @Chaotic_Riddle Seems like they're considering a Battle Pass concept. Which would be a nice feature for you main-game DbD players. I wouldn't buy it, but that's only because I'm already involved in Battle Passes for two other games: Paladins and Realm Royale.

    But for the serious DbD playerbase, Battle Passes can be nice if done well. Or, they can be trash, as Respawn did with the Apex Legends Season 1 Pass.

    I'd assume unique consumables a few times (special new med kids, toolboxes, iridescent flashlight, etc), unique BP boosts (200% this match personal, 200% shared, 500% survival, etc), unique cosmetics, not just outfits but cool and visually pleasing weapons (Myers having a pink knife, clown gas effects being green, wraith bell is a triangle). There are lots of creative options possible, and I'm sure they want to involve the community since that's what this week is about.

    Why does not this survey have Spanish support? Is not it worth the opinion of the Spanish-speaking people?

  • bradys44

    The way its created in surveymonkey. There is no translation option for the survey and it requires another survey entirely.

    Sounds kind of like season pass, or some sort of in game pass.


    Closest I could think of is Paladin's very own Battlepass. Which are less than stellar. If that's the way we are heading, I would sooner jump ship.

    I honestly won't mind, games are changing now so we will have to cope with this system if it was to happen

    Basically paying so you can feel special and exclusive with the rewards.

    Yeah no thanks, i prefer the game being in a better state instead of having cosmetics.

  • BBQnDemogorgon
    BBQnDemogorgon Member Posts: 3,615

    I'd buy it tbh. If it gave cool rewards and wasn't just P2W

    Wonder how it would work, survive 100 matches for the ultimate survivor skin set, where the set improves itself the more points you get towards the pass?

    @not_Queen

    Oh, alrighty. I was just curious more towards what you guys would offer in it, if it did ever come out. Thanks, Queen! <3

    @not_Queen If this was to happen, will there be like, a free pass system to it?

    @not_Queen It would be better if you were a little bit more clear about rewards and bonuses.

    From first sight, I thought if you paid money, you would get more bloodpoints which means you will be able to get strong addons and offerings easily.

    If it is just skins etc. I don't have a problem and I am kind of interested.

    But because of my first thought I said not at all interested.

    Also are we going to get a PTB survey? Because i just finished this one and it was mostly about the plague and some other trivia stuff, but no PTB feedback :/

  • twistedmonkey
    twistedmonkey Member Posts: 4,296

    To me it looks like a yearly/season pass, all DLC is paid for up front like in other games for a duration maybe or say 4 DLC releases.

    Personally I like how the game is setup now as I always wait to see a DLC before buying it, it is so cheap anyway and can still buy with shards.

    I wouldnt buy a pass as I've been burned before but thats just me an my opinion, its of no use for someone like me but others may like the idea.

  • HawkAyeTheNoo
    HawkAyeTheNoo Member Posts: 731

    That was possibly the best survey ive ever had from DBD.

    So many questions and some questions gave clues to future add ons for the game that sounded exciting.

    Everyone should go do it.

  • Causticwit75
    Causticwit75 Member Posts: 32

    The battlepass...You mean the benefits from gaining Devotion that we never got? Oh yeah. Lets pay for something that should have been free. Cause that always works out so well in a business model. How about you guys remove the huge grind for new players by making all perks the same rank....youve already buffed so many rank 1 perks for Killers theres barely a difference anymore.

    Hey guys, I went back and got some screenshots of the more interesting questions. What are your thoughts?

    Is it sad I had to think about 15?

  • OMagic_ManO

    @Peanits

    If we were to get a pass, purchasable, what would it include, per se?

  • Hoodied
    Hoodied Member Posts: 13,022

    @ShrekIsHot Most likely Auric cells, BP boosters, skins, and I dunno, shards?

  • OMagic_ManO
    OMagic_ManO Member Posts: 3,278

    @Hoodedfengm1n

    They could add characters you could unlock like Plague or Legion at the end of the pass if you reach that point and if you already have them, you get a shard or auric cell equivalent.

    friend rematch , tournament mode , KYF improvement , maps rework are the way to go with leaderboards and balancing over the high ranks.

  • Delfador

    @Peasant

    13-) How would you rate your interest in the following gameplay related features?

    If they can bring what they have suggested as options under this question, the game will be more alive than ever.

    Players' stats, leaderboards, crafting system etc. are so great. I hope they start implementing these features as soon as possible.

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650

    The idea would be interesting... but I don't know. Maybe if they fixed other core issues like ranked rewards, collectibles, balancing, giving the power role consistent power...

    That would be great. Stats...

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650

    Oh yes, I forgot, actually making the player level and devotion matter.

    300 shards from 51-100 isn't good enough.

    Getting a new devotion level should have neat things locked behind them. I'm devotion 4, level 30 something. Cool huh?

    What does that mean? No one can see it.... I get nothing besides shards from it... and at 50 they cap at 300 all the way up to the next devotion level. Sucks.

    @not_Queen I want to ask YOU a question. Not Job you. You that likes to play video games.

    Do you think it's ok to lock progression behind a pay wall for a game you've already paid for, and bought tons of dlc for?

  • se05239
    se05239 Member Posts: 3,919

    @not_Queen I really, REALLY, hope that you'll show the community the final results of all the various questions.. since you're now so.. interested.. in our opinions in regard to ######### like battle passes.

    Even companies like Activision-Blizzard and Ubisoft shows the result of their community surveys.

  • CallMeSpidey
    CallMeSpidey Member Posts: 625

    I'd be interested. @not_Queen it would be nice to know the results. I'd like to know if I stand alone on some subjects or if I'm within the majority having the same issues.

    Thank you.
