Halloween event after Halloween??
before i start, i'm not intentionally being rude. i'm just providing feedback in a frustrated manner. how could anyone not be frustrated by a highly anticipated PLANNED event? there should have been much more inspections pertaining to this event and ensured that it would be stable for release. last minute (day before release), you guys tell us it’s postponed and no clarification or specific reason?? how are we not supposed to be dissatisfied? you know that there has to be a specific time line for the release of this event, meaning that it shouldn’t be too close to Halloween or after; therefore, why not make sure everything is entirely ready prior? please don’t get your community falsely hyped up with inaccurate information. truly disappointing and never thought my expectations would be so low. i would never make such a big deal of something that isn't a reoccurring issue; however, there have been too many constant various delays, issues within game, missing content, etc.

I definitely agree and think the developers really slacked on this portion.

yeah, thanks for the feedback

we are all humans mistakes happens atleas they trying to give as an event they could simply cancel it
2 -
i definitely understand where you're coming from, but these types of errors are way too common and are negatively effecting dbd. i wouldn't care so much if these types of problems weren't that common, but this always happens.

I think the late event start date was always risky to begin with. If there are a few issues needing resolved and the next update is really close then it's always gonna be tight timing to fix stuff and release the update.
It will definitely come before halloween itself. I just always have the idea that halloween events for all games should ideally start early October.
Everyone's mad at the Devs but honestly just be a little more patient and the event will be just around the corner.

i get the flustration about it but pointing out it to devs wont bring us closer to event
1 -
Guys come on! stop calling it a "Halloween Event" its the thanksgiving event.
No wait. BHVR is Canadian...
8 -
it will be winter event lol
3 -
They found a really bad bug in the final iteration of the update they had to fix. An this can take lots and lots of time.
2 -
They already had their Thanksgiving. It was on US' Columbus Day.

I think they should stop giving release dates if they can’t deliver in time.

They announced a Q&A for next week and their streams r always on Thursday so that’s gonna be on Halloween I’m assuming and r they gonna drop it on Halloween day or is it going to wait until the next Tuesday which is November to drop a Halloween event ? This is so rediculous and irritating . They hype something up for months and when it’s time to release it they have a bug that would break the game that they find 18 hours before it’s drop and don’t say a word other than we r working on it until today and today we still get no date on when the event will happen with Halloween just days away . Well honestly every time there is a chapter or a patch or an event they break something without fail . The fact that they can’t tell us a date of its release is even more infuriating .
7 -
Been saying this for literally years lol
Halloween PASS
5 -
i couldn’t agree more
3 -
completely agree with what you said, it really is irritating especially because they’ve been hyping it up for an extended amount of time.

The devs have been a little sketchy lately. They released the new blight skins super early for 1080 ac and then made a so-called “sale” on the old blight skins for 25% off but marked them up from 1080ac to 1200ac so you have to pay 900ac which is technically only 10% off. Not to mention with the battle pass coming it’s obvious where their priorities are right now. I get they have to make profit but they feel really stingy for a game that isn’t free-to-play.
8 -
None of this is lately. This has been pervasive with the devs for the two years I've been playing.
They go through periods where good things happen (rework freddy and his map for example) and then start feeling themselves and schedule two ports and dedicated servers to one quarter, along with an entire new reward structure. Remember when the store and the emblem system was delayed for weeks on console?
Focus on fixing your ######### before adding more and more monetization options.
7 -
so accurate. i haven’t noticed one event or patch that has had no problems, delays, issues, bugs, etc. these devs should be investing much more if their time into these updates.
3 -
i’ve noticed that as well, the devs are really just creating more problems by rushing these things and fitting them close together.
1 -
And then they gaslight us and pretend they never confirmed anything or "technically summer 2019 ends in September " stuff. How long until "its hallowed blight not halloween!"
6 -
Quit defending these guys. The average worker does not get as much slack from their bosses as BHVR does from their fans. BHVR has shown a consistent lack of regard for deadlines, and when something is released/patched — always — something goes wrong or the work is shoddy. If BHVR is a one person employee working at a project under the supervision of a middle manager, he would be reprimanded and eventually fired by now due to incompetence.
7 -
They're not Canadian, they're Quebecois.
0 -
Yeah, Summer doesn't "technically" end in in September, it DOES end in September. And it is the Blight, not Halloween. Thematically it's more Fall than Halloween.
0 -
What's your point friend?
2 -
eh I personally don't care because I didn't experience the last Halloween event
0 -
While I upset after taking the week off, I'll have my Halloween event with or without devs. I have a ton of tombstones, ebonys and glass mirrors for you all Halloween night. Lol
3 -
Sorry but I'd rather have a delayed event than a game that isn't fun to play due to gamebreaking bugs.
2 -
Ummmm No.
Honestly it's just basic respect. Criticizing the work of a group of people trying their best is just unfair.
It's beyond pathetic to constantly throw a tantrum about people disagreeing with your 'overreaction'. Dbd Is just a game intended for fun, surely there is something to fill the void until the update lands?
Seriously where is your creativity.
4 -
i’d rather have an assured, accurate release date rather than anticipating something that the devs did not dedicate much of their time to.
3 -
it’s also beyond pathetic to constantly provide your community with patches with several instabilities, multiple delays, various platform specific issues that haven’t been fixed for weeks, and i could literally keep on going.
5 -
Delays happen deal with it. Do you realize how often these updates come, that's not to mention all the ptbs and tweaks along the way.
So ungrateful.
2 -
Knowing that it is basically the same event as last year, however they are trying to monetize from it more... It's eh... And because they are trying to profit more from it, that is the reason for the delay....ehhhh... ( AKA There would be no delay if they weren't trying to profit more.)
But sure. Like some have mentioned.... other games are not filled with bugs and are having their Halloween events right now. It's quite fun. There's free games, that offer free stuff + stuff you can buy + stuff you can grind for instead of buying (awesome). And also paid for games, that give you free stuff, sometimes through grinding it out etc., with options to buy if you don't want to grind. No extra money schemes and such. It's a nice way to enjoy Halloween gaming. :)
Anyways, that's not really the point of this thread, and I agree with a lot of points made. And I think it was well spoken. There are clear issues going on, that I sadly think will get swept under the rug instead.
Also, talking about "hype" their entire last stream was just an advertisement.... They also didn't mention or even hint at anything that could potentially delay the event or any issues. No actual feedback. Which if they knew from the PTB, they had several issues that would cause the delay (which was said in another thread).. Then surely they would know they would be far too busy to do a Q and A, which was constantly told to everyone, even there, that it would be done next week, which is now moved to next, next week. (As they are claiming with the too busy with the bugs thing....) Kind of like getting the run around...
Hmmm. Just found that interesting. That's all.
:whistle:
5 -
Agreed. I've said before that the main issue was that they waited until the very last second before announcing it happened. I understand they probably found the bug very very late, but that in and of itself is another issue.
This is compounded by the fact this entire year has been lackluster. Countless bugs and no summer event and then...this.
And this, again, was last second notice when alot of people already scheduled time off work for arguably the most important event in DBD on top of one of the biggest mid-chapter patches ever.
They need to be more transparent and have more foresight than this. Nothing against the mods or CMs; the fault lies in the leadership here.
6 -
so many true things stated here, definitely agree on how the hype is mainly for advertisement purposes, but it’s only negatively effecting them in the long term with the dissatisfaction.

There does seem to be a lack of professionalism in the BVHR offices. I think their biggest mistake was even attempting to tie an event to a brand new system like the archives/rift thing. They already had a system that worked well last year. Well... I suppose that event needed some fine tuning too, but it worked. If they just used the same set up as last year there would be no issues and they could delay the archives/rift aspect until it was ready and far fewer people would be upset. But they didn't do that and now we're all upset and rightfully so. I love DBD, but I have to be honest here, I'm not very enthused with BVHR.
5 -
Their building had a major power outage a day or so before they announced that. Perhaps they lost some work due to it and were forced to postpone it? We don't know what the problem was exactly, but just shouting on the internet isn't going to make them work any faster. They could've not told us at all and made us truly mad. It could've been a lot worse.
2 -
How lol, you're not making this easy to have a conversation.
It's by default 1080 Auric Cells and it's always on a 10% sale, you literally lost 100 auric cells because the sale was wrong, you have no idea if that was even intentional or not.
And again, you didn't explain what character you're referring to.
0 -
So what are you expecting to become of this cause... I don't see anything happening with that unless you seriously want to take action against it...
I'm not being rude, i'm being realistic like does it really matter?
0 -
I mean, Peanits has been quoted several times talking about the game breaking bugs in the patch coming and how it would ruin everyone's games. Would yall rather have that?
They could just cut support 100% and move on to other things. But no, they stick with us and try there best to give us all a game we enjoy. They work hard and have to deal with alot of the community bashing them no matter what. That's not fair and yall know it. Just be grateful they want to fix the game and keep supporting it so we can play it. Be grateful they want to make this better for us.
They can't give us a date for the event cause they have NO IDEA how bad or in depth that bug is. You can't just roll your face over a keyboard and fix code. It takes time.
0 -
I think i'm done talking about this since 10% off (That's like 100 Auric Cells) being false or accidentally not added seems to really... mean a lot I guess?
Again, nobody knows if it was intentional or not btw.
1 -
Good lord why are people so impatient? They found problems with the update that they needed to fix. It's not uncommon for problems to come up. "This is so frustrating! They told us about all this cool new stuff they're going to give us, and you know what they're making us do? They're making us wait here, for a little while longer!" Oh really, what's going to happen next? Will you still get all that stuff, for free? Personally I think it's pretty cool that the devs are giving us all this stuff, again, for free. They delayed the update to fix problems and work on it more, and you people are whining about it. Would you rather have an update with problems so you can whine even more, or an update without as many problems so you can have fun playing. I'd go with the latter.

its something out of their control, they dont mean to make us wait I dont get all this rudness towards the dbd team lately.
0 -
Hopefully we hear something today about it, if not, hopefully next week we get it or hear what is happening.
0 -
I don't consider this event as a Halloween one. I mean...this entire game could be Halloween themed since you're hunting down someone all year long with creepy killer costumes so...it's just an event happening near Halloween, if they move the release date I honestly do not care. Yeah...if there's going to be Christmas event with Christmas lights after new years day, yeah, that's going tobe weird.
