Losing 5 party streamers

Hi, just a quick one:

Why the hell are offerings burned before the game loads? Why can it not be something that happens once the game has actually loaded, so that people can avoid losing their offerings? We all know that party streamers are rare, and having lost 5 since last night, I'm really pissed off.

This is something that I'm sure everyone would like implementing to avoid losing their offerings.

    I think it is a matter of following the ritual burning stuff like witchcrafting before starting the trials,

    but for the good of the playability is not well designed as you highlight, mah boi

    I've heard reports of the offering itself causing instability and making games crash.

    The game mostly crash for no reason no matter the offering.

    It's annoying and I have no idea how BHVR didn't address it yet... This is nothing new.

    Funny thing is... yesterday during the event in a match I had, there was 2 BPS offerings put out by survivors.

    Had two DCs... and guess who they were.. the 2 survivors who threw out the BPS offerings.

    I found that interesting, I seen someone else write here yesterday, that BPS might be causing people to crash.

    Maybe save them for now until the next update comes out.

    you won't have to worry about that once this next patch comes out, this was in the PTB patch notes:

    Easy fix. Separate the tile changing offerings from the others and pam solved. Because I'm sure people would hate more to lose offerings like BPS or cake/pudding or even luck maybe? than a hook thing

    The offerings still get burnt before the game attempts to load though, so they'd still be lost

    They also need to fix it so when the killer loads in and then dc's because they don't like the map they're on offerings and items are saved instead of lost. Absolutely infuriating.

    They didn't implement the whole "DC'ing will bring you to the lobby and your offerings will not be lost" before this event. Now we have to wait half a year for another event with this feature implemented.

    Smart.
