    We could just remove the Streamers and add nothing in exchange. That seems fair. :P

    Honest to god, if I knew which survivor brought the party streamer, I would go easy on that survivor. Almost without fail, the player I kill first who gets the least amount of bloodpoints is the dude that brought the party streamer. I feel bad about it in a way. It's not like I do it on purpose. Don't get me wrong. I'd still kill the guy who brought a streamer. But I would kill them last as a thank you for the extra bloodpoints.

    Yes, @ApeOfMazor, we are going to argue with memes, because your argument is dumb.

    "Because points directly contribute to future killer strength. There is no reason to give them more."

    Give me a break. This isn't an arms race.

    I have a similar problem. When someone burns BPS, I don't do a straight-up farming match but I go in with the intent of letting everyone escape. However, the survivor who burned the BPS will often suicide on their first hook or some other stupid thing. If someone dies during the match, it's almost guaranteed to be the one who burned the offering. And I always feel really bad about it.

    Trying to signal that I'm friendly with all the survivors would take too much time, but I'd try to be a little friendlier towards the one who burned BPS, attempt to ensure that they get as many points as possible.

    Double-edged sword, though, because if I found out who burned the Haddonfield offering, I'd make sure to sacrifice them every time.

    Not invalid at all. For that match you are a killer. If you want to buff your survivors then you do whatever. For that match you are my enemy and do not deserve to profit off me. There is no argument around this other than your personal feelings on it.

    More have tried to discredit me and make bad comparisons or tell me to use oranges when i'm talking about apples

    Cool bro lemme go find my meme pics cause its all you understand.

  • ApeOfMazor

    No you are going to argue with memes cause you tried and failed with everything else. You got nothing. You just want your points off of others offerings that you do not deserve.

    You are confusing benefiting the player with benefiting the killer. Extra BP for the killer at the end of the match does not make them more powerful in that match. Offerings like fewer hooks, those affect the killer in that match. Excluding the killer from a possible 400% BP bonus, that's just punishing the player for daring to play the opposing side. Those Bloodpoints can go towards anything.

    A person is playing the opposing side in a video game. That person is not actually your enemy. They're playing a necessary role in a video game which you also play. If everyone stopped playing killer, you would have no game to play. BHVR is not going to punish their customers for playing an important, necessary role in their game. And if you change an existing offering to exclude players, then yes, it would be punishing them for playing the role of killer.

    Unless the killer stands in a corner all game, the killer helps you earn those Bloodpoints. You get chase points, you get altruism points, because of the killer. The amount of Bloodpoints survivors usually get when a killer refuses to play a match are almost always abysmally low.

    Killer queues were too long during the event, so I spent the weekend playing survivor. Every single Bloodpoint went into leveling up my Doctor. Every survivor who helped me survive over the weekend may have helped create the monster they'll play against in a future match. And you know what? Survivors should want other players to be putting Bloodpoints into their killers. What's the fun in going up against a level 1 killer only running a tier 1 perk and no add-ons? Is that really what you want all your matches to be?

    This isn't guerrilla warfare, and BPS doesn't take anything away from you; it just rewards all players equally. If that is so offensive to you, your choices are 1. don't burn BPS, or 2. only burn BPS in matches without killers.

    This is a video game. They're fake points that aren't real, a currency to buy in-game consumable items that are used for fun. If anything, we need more opportunities to earn more BP all around, because the grind is unreal, and detracts from the aforementioned fun.

    You make this sound like it's some sort of real-world issue that benefits a class of people you don't like or something. Get a grip.

    No, no, no! Don't you understand its THEIR candy and the stupid meany head killers aren't allowed to have a share of it because they do what they are supposed to do!

    If they can't magically stop the killer meanie-heads from having a taste then NOBODY should have it!!

    I mean that is what you're advocating right @OP. As i said before, the BPS was made for everyone, so your literal only choice is to lobby for it to be removed completely, the dev's are simply not going to deal with the uproar of removing the benefits just from one side. Each side has survivor only points addons, the BPS is a shared thing because, i assume, they believed people would be grown up enough to enjoy a bit of shared points gain without getting bent out of shape.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong @Peanits or anyone else official who might wish to answer. If i am incorrect i shall admit it like an adult. But I assume that taking BPS gain from one side wouldn't really be the best move.

    Well it's good for you to have an opinion, but even in gaming, people sometimes have to make compromises. 😊

    Just because everyone saw through your BS argument, doesn't mean you gotta be angry, my guy. Calm down and get some better bait, no one has agreed with you. Seriously, if zero people on the forums agree with you, ya might not have the best idea.

    If you don't want your enemy to profit from your offering, don't use BPS.

    um just run we're gonna live forever if you're worried about perks giving extra bp, or how about any of the other survivor perks that increase pb earned

    Not that I'm actually, seriously condoning this - I'm just rather upset at the moment - but after the game I just had, I could almost get on board with this idea.

    Why are four purple ranks paired with a green rank?

    Remember kids. When someone gets more of something than you, the solution is always to take it from them, not to ask for more yourself.


    Like honestly, the problem here isn't killers getting points it's that one of the survivor point categories is impossible to fill without getting lucky or farming (survival), one punishes stealthy playstyles (boldness), one requires your teammates to ######### up (altruism), and the other is impossible to gain if you get chased all game (objective)

    Instead of asking to take points away from killers, ask for more points for yourselves.

    Ask for increased basic BP gains for survivors so there's more incentive to play the numbers role.

    Ask for increased basic BP gains for survivors so that losing a game you get about as many points as a killer who lost a game

    Ask for increased basic BP gains for survivors because the grind in this game is insane

    DON'T ask to take things from other people like a school kid who just found out another kid has a slice of cake. Try to get your own slice of cake. Jeeze.

    I hate that stuff like this has to be said.

    This thread can easily be summed up as:


    OP: killers shouldnt get points

    Everybody: Lol no

    This is an easy way to tell if someone is a new player. Saying 20k is a lot of Bloodpoints. After like level 20 in blood webs, it takes like 20 thousand to level up. At level 50, get ready to burn like 2 matches on one level. Also, not every killer runs BBQ. Only Leatherface has it and it has rarely ever appeared in SoS (Shrine of Secrets.) If you haven't levelled up leatherface, then according to your logic, they should only earn 10k in a match. Also, the average is around 25k per match at base assuming you do atleast 2 hooks.
