    HELL YES.

    Dude the charms are so DOPE! (though they could be a little bigger on the survivors belt). That little Claudette is so cute. I want a real-life keychain version of it.

    10 bucks for a bucket full of outfits, bloodpoints, and charms. Dude it's a ton of value. I've spent ten on a single outfit before (several times it fact).

    I get the complaints. I do. But, Behavior has stuffed it with so much content it's just kind of entitled of players to cry about it.

    I just hope the lore we unlock won't disappear when rift 2 replaces rift 1.

    I plan on getting it in Paladins and dbd, I like getting cosmetics.

    Without a doubt it's great value in my opinion.

    I (try to) play 3-4 hours or so a day i'm hoping that'll be more than enough to pay $10 and have every pass from now on by earning the cells back

  • Mookywolf
    Mookywolf Member Posts: 907

    i too love the charms. honestly i'll likely get the pass mainly for the charms. also you dont get bloodpoints in the pass, thats for the archive challenges. also the lore should stay, the archive's content will always be available, the rift will disappear after the 70 days. but "most" cosmetics will become available later

    I was just worried about losing access to the lore because we can't watch last year's HB videos anymore.

    Yeh, will give it a spin and see if it's something I like or not. I think with the Archives and Battlepass, I may feel more inspired to play DBD more than I usually do. With work and such, I usually have to be fully awake or up to playing, being more rewarded for playing is probably that extra push where I don't care at being held back (solely my own fault) from jumping in each day.

  • Mookywolf
    Mookywolf Member Posts: 907

    well dont worry, the lore content from the Archives should always be available.

    Maybe. You can play the free path and, if you buy the premium later, it unlocks the premium stuff retroactively.

    If I play enough that the premium pass would unlock a lot of stuff, then yes, I'll totally buy it.

    Honestly I've been so happy with Behavior lately with the Freddy rework, with the tile shifting maps, with updated lighting, with Scream and Stranger Things chapters, the last 4 cosmetic sets... they've been killing it.

    The rift looks amazing. I was one of the detractors a few months ago but they've made me look the fool. I'm gladly going to pay ten bucks every rift (even if I get the track done I'm still going to pay cash) because they've ######### earned this.


    The ONLY 2 things left to fix imho for the game to be perfect is reducing bp costs in the bloodweb to alleviate grind and slightly increase the charms size for survivors.

  • Theoretical_Heart
    Theoretical_Heart Member Posts: 398
    yes

    It's ten dollars for a ton of stuff.

    Even if you don't buy the premium pass, you still get the extra blood points from the archive, the free charms and skins on the free track, and the extra goals will help diversify survivor gameplay.

  • thrawn3054
    thrawn3054 Member Posts: 5,897

    You should add an undecided option (if you can that is). That's where I fall on it. I doubt I'll buy it. But can't say for certain.

  • Mookywolf
    Mookywolf Member Posts: 907

    i sadly cant go back and add a third option. i shouldve though :P

  • Mister_xD
    Mister_xD Member Posts: 7,669
    yes

    10$

    with that i could eigther get: 1 outfit collection (and have 20 auric cells left from the purchase)

    or: a battlepass which contains 5 outfit collections, 1000 auric cells and multiple charms for the fun of it. (and have 100 auric cells left from the purchase)


    yeah, the battlepass seems like its worth the money xD

  • Boosted_Dwight

    Ten bucks for a bunch of cosmetics and if I complete the whole thing I get the next pass for free. Why would I not buy this? 😆

  • FireHazard
    FireHazard Member Posts: 7,314

    I mean, I still have like 6.5k Auric cells rotting from that Moonrise screenshot contest I won almost a year ago...

    So yeah... i'll get the premium pass with 1k of those.

    it depends: if the 1000 auric cells in the premium path are always present (meaning: buy once, and if you play enough you can self finance it) then yes. Otherwise nope.

    @not_Queen any confirmation on this matter?

  • Ukonvasara

    Most likely no. There weren't any cosmetics I was particularly interested in getting.

    @Endstille Look at it this way, the premium pass is $10.00 USD plus tax. Where I live, minimum wage is $13.00 USD an hour. So even in states where minimum wage is $8.00 USD that's either less than an an hour's worth of pay or a little over an hour's worth of pay.

    Is it a wise investment? No. However, spending $10.00 USD dollars on a video game has got to be one of the least harmful ways to spend USD. We're not buying vapes or drugs or fueling some substance addiction, nor are we doing anything illegal. It's not pay to win either as the cosmetics are just that, cosmetics. This is a wholesome healthy transaction between some slasher fans and some slasher fans that made something of themselves and launched a three year strong multiplayer horror title.

    Sure monetisation in video games is boring. However, compared to EA and Microsoft BHVR (at least the Dead by Daylight team) has been nothing but a bunch of saints.

    I understand where you are coming from, but we asked for dedicated servers and those take steady revenue to keep running. Sure BHVR has a lot of money now, but who knows what the future holds. It's good to have a steady income whether you're a company or a person.

    They don't want to make the charms too big, then they'll hurt your stealth game.

    Me when I die to a killer because they didn't see my bright blue hoodie, they saw my Brand New Part charm because it was bigger than one of the Demogorgon's teeth:

    If a charm is what gets you spotted then you aren't stealthy my dude.

    Why wouldn't I? I get the cells back to use to buy more Killers when they get released and I get charms to show the survivors who they are messing with!

    I dont see the issue. Even if no one does you still get a lot of BP for doing this missions ;) its a win win! Though I do think they should put some more free content on it so its not so...you know.

    Since I'm planning on buying more cosmetics in the future I will gladly buy the battlepass and get those AC back. Strategically speaking I'll be buying it after I reach the max level so that I can be sure I'll unlock everything.

    I don't like battle passes in general, as it sets a bad standard in a game, but BHVR's actually isn't bad. My only fear is that it could spiral out of control, but right now it seems like a solid deal.

  • Mookywolf
    Mookywolf Member Posts: 907

    thats my fear too. this one seems fair, but they could easily make it worse over time.

    None of the cosmetics interest me since I’m a Kate and Spirit/Wraith main(that Wraith skin is nothing special), don’t give a damn about charms so easy choice for me.

  • Carpemortum

    Nope. Not throwing $10 away for "free cosmetics" just so I can have every obtainable item.

    ######### your cash grab Behaviour.

  • PrincessPoop
    PrincessPoop Member Posts: 919

    Yes, I play regularly enough that I will most likely be able to fully complete it, meaning that I will have enough cells to get the next one free. Since I very rarely buy cosmetics from the store since they are $10 a pop, this is a great new system that I will actually be able to get more cosmetics from.

    Plus there is virtually no timed exclusives so even if I do miss out on an outfit, I can buy it in the store at a later date.

    Overall there is nothing scummy about this system and it’s a great alternative to getting cosmetics that I do not mind supporting.

    If it were F2P I would however DBD isn't so we get into the ethical issues of monetizing the game when you have dlc at $5+ and cosmetics at $10 a piece which is overpriced. Again $10 isn't a lot however stack it with currency and such then there starts being issues of monotizing everything like say EA would. Its just milking your player base for money when things aren't being fixed properly or are delayed into eternity.

  • Ark_the_Bonsai
    Ark_the_Bonsai Member Posts: 867
    yes

    But only after I've completed it enough to feel like I'd be missing out not to. IE, if I play enough and get to a tier where I have a bunch of things I'd want I'll buy it so I can get those things retroactively.

    I won't, however, be buying them every single time. I can't garuntee I'll play enough for it to be worth it each month
