You are right. I shouldn't use the word everyone as the vast majority will understand as those who post are a very small minority. Sometimes my hands move faster than my brain 😂 kinda like my mouth at times.
I've edited the post. Thank you for pointing it out 🙂.

I love that a Halloween event is postponed with no real estimated date in a horror game.
Amazing. Truly. 🙄

Remember guys,
"The Hallowed Blight Collection is 25% off for a limited time!"

That'd be asking for too much.

I'm glad you have more faith in them than I do. Because I don't.

Honestly it seems really bizarre to tie the Withering Blight event to the release of the Archives so strongly. Then say... Well we never said exactly when we'd release the Mid-Chapter patch you all just assumed that. Despite the Blight event having clear dates announced.
As if tying some of the core mechanics of the Blight directly to the Archives doesn't clearly make the Event tied to the Mid-chapter patch.
A separate release of the Blight event/Mid-chapter patch was clearly not something that was ever going to happen they are too intrinsically tied to one another. I can't even fathom why anybody would be confused as to why if we aren't getting one we aren't getting the other.
Though the strange idea seems to not be helped by Bhvr treating them like they are completely separate things.

The Tentative seems to pop out to me for some reason.
Don't take me for defending the Devs here. I just don't care about the event or the mid chapter patch.

Hey bud, if you don't like the Devs so much, quit whining on there forums about it and play a different game. All I see out of you is 100% negativity and judgmental hate speech for the devs. Pack it in, realize things happen that can't be controlled, and move on.

Hey! We agree for once.

They never announced the Blood Hunt that idea was based on people data mining when the PTB came out. So no there was never an actual official announcement of a Blood Hunt. And since they never officially announced it they can't officially cancel/deny/confirm anything.
BUT ... Big But... It seems highly unlikely that they didn't create the banner that was mined, and then not actually intended to run a Blood Hunt over the Halloween weekend. Originally anyways... Who knows now what they intend to do.

#########'s bound to happen occasionally. I'd love to know what these "unforeseen circumstances" are, though. Last time I checked, its not the first time they've done an event like this.
1 -
Fair enough, though the quoted post in your prior post was about the Blood Hunt not the Blight event and that's why I brought it up.

Rediculous.

I second this. Even your fog whisperers were excited for the big 22ND mid chapter update.
2 -
I think maybe we just accept that quality control trumps planned events, as they noted in more than post the Blight event was scheduled for October 22, and that would need a coding patch, so it was reasonable to assume that the mid chapter 3.3.0 patch would deliver the event in one go. Surely its better not to have the event and patch dropped tomorrow then have a firestorm of complaints that "it doesnt work"?
0 -
Imagine being this upset. lol. if you cant accept that unforeseen events can occur at any given time then well, youve got bigger issues then not getting your "event" On top of that the event is really only what, hooks theme music. thats it big whoop. all the serum comes in the rift anyways so you arent missing out on any content since in light of recent events the midchapter and event werent happening on the same day anyways. I think youll survive without some pumpkins in your lobby for a few more days lmfao.
7 -
So mad took the week off for this event.
13 -
A neglected bug.
Roadmap not achieved.
Even the due date is not announced.
Lost trust
8 -
Since you stated 2 years... ill imply that you werent here for launch. cause if you were you wouldnt complain about how this game is being run. considering its MILES better than launch... Half the current population wouldnt survive 1.0. You'd be smashing your keyboards in minutes. Ill take current state dbd and dbd staff vs 2016 any day of the week.
1 -
Like I said you’ll survive a few days without your pumpkins in the lobby champ. As for dbd being a nuclear reactor we’ll that’s an interesting comparison, but what should I expect from a dude that brought up class action lawsuits over lobby pumpkins and spooky hooks. Life goes on dude. Lol

Honestly my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined, was hoping archives and the event would help me a bit about burnout but I guess it's time to find some other game to play until devs git gud.
8 -
I feel sorry for folks that took time off specifically for this event.
It's also half term here in the England, so a lot of older students were no doubt hoping to grind with the event.
But I think everyone would genuinely be more annoyed and disappointed if their event progress got corrupted and lost after days of grinding. Delays suck but we are still getting an event.
11 -
if it was a prank they wouldnt bother backing up that the event isnt coming out today
0 -
The devs have always been dog ######### at talking to the community and telling us release dates. For spirit it took about a month after she hit PTB to come out and they never said a word about it. We won't know the release date for archives until it actually comes out. Which could be any time between Wednesday/Thursday and a month from now. It's a shame because i haven't played DBD almost at all since June because I've been waiting for the archives
2 -
Behavior will neve announce anything until the day it releases. That's what they almost always do unfortunately. They usually refuse to give any exact dates for things
1 -
Afff, this is a very sad announcement, so much hype for nothing. And i thought we would get the archives tomorrow too. What a burden..
1 -
Severely disappointing BHVR
3 -
Thank you devs for trying to make your game better for us to play, even if that means disappointing most of us with some postponing. I hope most of the PTB bugs will be resolved :D
I do find sad that we're not getting more transparency on whatever is happening right now in the Studio from you guys though :/
I'm sure you devs will find a way to make us all happy in the end and give us a wonderful Withering Blight event and Archives Mid chapter 3.3.0 patch.

My man....You just created a new meme

Unfortunate.
I am really excited for the new stuff and had hopes it would start today.
But if that means the rift might become easier to complete then I am more than fine with that.
1 -
You kind of alluded to the fact that they were coming out together though.
"Hallowed blight is coming out with the rift"
"The rift is coming out in the mid chapter update"
"Hallowed blight is coming out on Oct 22"
Why wouldn't we think that the mid chapter patch was going to be om the 22nd? I'm not really all that annoyed at the delay, but obviously you guys need to communicate a whole hell of a lot better if everyone is clearly thinking everything is coming out on the 22nd.
There were plenty of posts stating this that any one of you could have stepped in and corrected.

For any avoidance of doubt from people who don't read.
(the event will still be the same length regardless of when it starts)
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Withering Blight event is postponed until the release of the mid-chapter 3.3.0. We're working on getting the update ready as soon as possible and will keep you posted. Don't worry, the length of the event will remain the same!
1 -
We will be able to play and grind vials just in time for christmas dont worry guys
2 -
The only developer I am aware of, that I am following, that actually keeps to their roadmap is the developers of Risk of Rain 2.
Roadmaps, to me, is just a shield that you can hide behind to block criticism on why development is slow. Its kinda like that "Its a Beta™" response.
0 -
We literally just could have Serum tied to gens and hooks, it isn't that hard. But wait, we have to tie this to the Rift so our players will actually consider looking at it. It isn't that hard to just have an event by itself, it doesn't have to tie in with a huge update.
4 -
I think that not confirming anything anytime as an excuse like "we didn't confirmed it, so you shouldn't be disappointed" it's not a very good strategy to keep your player base happy honestly.
2 -
well i'm not even surprised to see this news. it doesnt effect me anymore since i jumped boat to Identity V. And for good reason. These devs are incompetent and money seekers. the reason i played the game is still it is a fun game in its core but the lack of commitment to make the game better is just mindblowing. They mostly concentrate on making money and not making the game better. but don't you worry guys, the next set of new skins are already in the pipe line. Enjoy!

Not this year's christmas though, next year's

It's weird cause they tried to play a little bit of a shell game with the whole Mid-chapter update. And their announcement made it seem like they thought that they hadn't already confirmed that the Blight Event was connected to the Rift.
Well we didn't announce the date of the Mid-chapter update so why are you all worried about that .... But it was clearly tied to the Event because of the Rift.. And the Event's dates were confirmed! So it's like they were pretending that they were separate even though it was clear to anybody who had been paying attention that they weren't.
I'd almost say it was a CYA tactic but if so it was a poor one cause it didn't take into account all the info that we all already knew.
I get that there might be legal technicalities where since there was never a technical mid-chapter patch release date announcement that they couldn't confirm a date.
But it's like super Bizzaro to pretend that they are completely separate when they clearly aren't. It's a bunch of corporate double speak that makes no sense in context.
3 -
exactly, that is why i suggested on another post, making the event last for at least 21 days but a month would be better. not everybody can collect all the stuff in time for it's actual purpose.
0 -
So hows the event going for everyone? 😥
2 -
They don't want people to be able to get everything for free.
The system is set up in such a way that players are encouraged to spend money.

Helstar, WHY ARE YOU ON THIS FORUM THEN!!!! I mean i am disappointed I was really excited about that event. BHVR gave us a very enjoyable game even with it's bugs and flaws and they keep trying to give us more from it by listening to our complaints and shits. It's delayed: Oh Trappy gingersnaps! I will have to wait ! :( BE like the trapper don't be a snowflake ... LOL😉
PEACE XOX

yes this is very true but it works both ways. some people can't aford skins so once in a while freebies is good. but to keep employed people stay in game and purchasing stuff, than at least give more notice if issues need fixing. what ever the issue they must have, they must have known before they told us. not fair to people taking time of work and maybe like i have said before, we wouldn't take time of work if they given us a realistic amount of days to collect it all. MEH!
3 -
where ever you got that from i would like to know? what are the new maps for? does anybody know yet?
0 -
Thats always an issue with skins and there is always a risk of having some players not being able to play in the time of the event at all. Taking time of work is a choice and events are generally set up so you can complete them and work at the same time which I have done with every event in the past.
An unforseen issue can pop up at anytime and if it's a game breaking bug or its simply not working most devs will work on it trying to fix it up until the last minute as postponing is always a last resort. It's not something any dev willingly wants to do but ######### happens and its something we all have to accept as it's better to be able to play an event that works than one which has issues.
0 -
i was agreeing with you, you know. completely agree if stuff needs to be fixed before release let it happen. don't release if it's going to get messed up. i was just saying a bit more notice would have been better.
