USELESS survey's

When someone put the poll here on the forums not long ago, I'm pretty sure it was mostly 50/50 but the person above me is correct. The decisions were already made by that point.

@LvGamer34 - Because you would pay less money for cosmetics, but they would be cosmetics that you wouldn't have purchased.

I completely agree with you.

I like the idea, can't wait did you see the results for the survey somewhere? Most people may not care enough to voice their opinions on the forums. There will be a free version and you can just get that. I think you can earn the premium version through play I like the idea more money for Dev's means the game will improve. More staff more content etc

@doublev1986 Do you honestly think that more money for the devs, will actually make the game better? Wrong. The devs will see their ######### marketing scheme as a way to profit, instead of actually continuing to develop the game in a healthy way.

Games that have battle passes quickly die. It's earmarked in gaming history.

Fixing the game itself and making it great, is what will ultimately bring more people into the game, and increase revenue. There are many fog whisperers that have stated that if DBD has a battle pass, they are out.

The battle pass itself is a ploy for ######### development. It's like slugging 4 ppl and watching them bleed out. It's the ultimate slap in the face for players, that the devs priority is money, rather than stabilization. How long has the game been unstable? A year? 1 1/2 years? Sadly, that is the mindset of developers these days. Pocket money and not fix their game. It happens all the time. It's like the title of a secret office newsletter sent to all game developers.

Frankly? I couldn't give a crap about people that play this game full time, wanting an incentive to "play more". You play a game because you like it, you shouldn't need eCommerce rewards to continue playing. If you need a battle pass as motivation to continue playing a game to keep it exciting, perhaps it's time you found a new game to main.

Battle passes only work in games that have a huge player base. Else, they risk it all for a dwindling community. The 50/50% of people that don't want battle pass, let's say even 25% of the people that don't want it, end up leaving. The dev's just lost 25% of their continued revenue. They can't risk losing that much.

I personally don't mind purchasing items from the store. I can pick and choose what I want. If I have to play thru 50 levels of a battle pass to get 1 cosmetic item I want, is that worth my time? I don't go to the store and pay for a random bag of clothes hoping there is something I like. I want what I want. I think we can all agree that most of the cosmetics that they put out are........well.....trash. If they actually put good cosmetics and unique skins out, I would gladly shell out money for the skins that I want. If the modeling developers are going to focus on battle pass cosmetics, can we expect to see semi regularly released unique skins for survivor or killer? Probably not. They will be spending all of their time working on the cosmetics for the battle pass.

If I had to guess, I'd say the question was in the survey to gauge if there was an overwhelming opposition. I don't think there was though. Yeah a lot of people are whining about it on the forums but they're likely the loud minority. People are more vocal when they dislike an idea than when they like one.

Frankly I'm excited for the battle pass concept, and I'm excited to see where it goes. If you don't like it you're not forced to buy it and it won't change your gameplay at all.

@SpaceCoconut i highly doubt these cosmetics would be gone forever. i believe they will be added to the store after the season for an auric cell price / become obtainable again in later battle passes, very similar to the Hallowed Blight cosmetic set.

also, for the whole "not wanting to miss anything out" part, i can understand where you are coming from, i used to be someone who always wanted to achieve everything, gain every reward, etc.

however, the current version of the store actually took away such thoughts from me, as the absurd amount of auric cells only cosmetics (which are horribly overpriced btw) really just annoyed me to an extend where i dont care weather i got something or not.

yes, this would only work if they get added to the store after the season ends, but like i said before i believe this will be the case. the devs wont just create multiple cosmetic sets every 3 months, just so they will never be obtainable again afterwards.

here is my speculation:

the devs will create 3 cosmetic sets. you will only be able to abtain one out of the free battlepass and get the other two by purchasing said battlepass for money (my guess would be 5 - 10$). after the season, these cosmetics will be added to the store for a price of 10$ each. that way people who missed out on a season can obtain them by directly purchasing them, while players who participated during the battlepass could obtain the same cosmetics for a drastically lowered price.

but this is just a speculation. who knows, maybe your right? maybe they do disappear forever? i thin kthe best would just be to wait and see instead of immediately starting to hate the devs for something we have never seen in action.
