The Halloween event, and why you should be happy it got delayed
As we all know, every update comes with bugs, but according to peanits he stated that they found a very bad bug and they were fixing it
They also mentioned something about the rift not working properly in the update about 3.3.0
This shows that the devs want to make this event as playable and fun as possible
You shouldn't be angry the event got delayed, you should be happy they actually wanted to do this with the event in the first place!

I wouldn't go as to far to say that people should be happy but yeah I think most can agree that everyone would have been upset if the event went live with a godly amount of bugs.

Another reason you should he happy is the fact that this event will overlap less with other game's time-limited Halloween events, so you have more time to play those and not worry about missing out on DBD.

Delay apart, the patch will be out tomorrow right?

Most likely as xbox has the banner for Withering Blight

Well, no one is happy it got delayed. However, I do think *most* of us are appreciative of the devs trying to get the event out as quickly as they can.

We should be happy that a company has quality control? Shouldn't that be the standard. If someone makes a mess you expect them to clean it up, not give them a round of applause for not leaving it. Besides it feels like the devs have been burning through alot of goodwill lately. So I really don't get why people are defending a company from its reasonably upset customers. Why shouldn't Behaviour have to deal with some negativity because of thier shortsighted decisions that have upset people who have both invested thier time and money into them.

we all know it's gonna launch with bugs but from the reason why it was delayed they didn't wanna release it completely broken

I've been playing Outer Worlds. Your title reminds me of one of the corporate posters in the game.
A Halloween event should be available during Halloween. They sure have the cosmetics available to buy with real money and not even completely functioning (Clown's knife is invisible). I have a strong feeling if the event was not tied to the battle pass, we would be enjoying the event now.

I think there will still be bugs upon release.

but not as many

I hope the patch is released late this week, I don't want to miss out on playing.

Keep up the work dev team and let’s release the patch tomorrow! Support!!!

I'm sorry, but having a Halloween event that isn't out in time for Halloween is inexcusable. It really is. Halloween for DBD is like Christmas for most things. It is the biggest event of the year. If your parents told you that Christmas was going to be a week late when you were 9 years old, would you accept that? But some of the presents they bought had problems so they needed to send them back to the shop for repair...
BHVR should never have tied the Halloween event to a new system if they couldn't reliably get it out in time. Quit making excuses for them.

Actually I would be fine with it as I am not entitled to Christmas
Just like how we are not entitled for an halloween event on time :)

I totally understand the frustration, people were excited to get this event but we can't predict when something like this is going to happen. We do our best everyday, our team is working hard to get the issues fixed as soon as possible. People have to understand that being mean or talking rudely to the Dev teams won't make things go faster or help the situation. I am not here to tell you what to do but I am here to give my perspective/opinion about negative comments and the situation.
I'm repeating myself but we are all humans and we all have emotions, sometimes it can affect people more than you think...
Like I said at the beginning I know this can be frustrating but I really hope people understand that we are not delaying this just for fun and that we are working really hard to fix the issues as soon as possible.
Much love
<3

What kind is weird psychological manipulation is this? If the company is missing deadlines for a community event, deadlines they set themselves mind you, it is 100% reasonable for people to be upset. Also, I think it bears repeating; lots of people are more upset with the way the delay was communicated than the delay itself.

@Patricia whats about the Xbox banner?
0 -
As long as it isnt crazy bugged once it releases then im good. I saw on xbox that the event was advertised in the gamepass section today so im hoping that means its coming tomorrow
1 -
I am curious about this too
2 -
I don't think people are upset at the Delay itself, Everyone knows that an Event with major bugs and crashes would be awful.
It's More so the fact that they Decided to tie the Event which is arguably the most important event of the year for a Horror game to their Largest Update yet considering their past history of Buggy Updates and how long it takes to fix those Bugs.

I agree with this. Of course it sucks that the event is delayed, I was quite sad about it too. But when you delay something and leave us completely in the dark for the next 4 days, you can bet people are getting upset about it.

I agree with you in the fact that there was no delay just for the fun of it , that there was reason and cause to delay it . I have seen in the past many times that some heavy bugs make it live with patches and know how that feels .
At the same time though , when you , how was it put , change the foundation . That you know there will be some major issues arise and to not plan for those things properly is where a lot of the frustration comes from . you don't knock a houses foundation out to replace it without support and a way to be sure it will hold once the new one is in place unless you want it to fall in on you , and this is what it seems has happened .
you have to find a better balance between ambition and deadlines imo . Ambition is great , it drives and keeps progressing things forward but when combined with deadlines that are not well placed you don't have time to test , to make sure things work and what is the end result , This . If nothing else a plan b for a holiday event should have been in place . Release it like it was intended since the devs have stated that the event was nothing more then a bp event , that the serums were now part of the rift and would run the full time of the rift rather then the event itself . I think that is what has people up in arms , no event at all when the two were not connected other then by story .

I can't speak for most people, but most of my frustration is in the planning behind this event/patch that led to this. I know the devs are working hard and are definitely motivated to get this fixed, but this massive patch should have been pushed to November to begin with and let the Halloween event run its course first. Big patches will always have the potential for the biggest problems, so I'm not sure why the team gambled on this large a scale. I don't think anyone reasonable is mad about the existence of bugs or the delay itself, but we sure as hell have an argument about the planning/communication.
2 -
I totally get the part about the communication on our side but we weren't able to communicate about it sooner because nothing was sure about what we wanted to do. So the community team was on hold until we were sure to have more informations about what we can communicate to the community.

They had plenty of time to fix every issues before the 22nd. They’ve evolved, now it’s been 3 almost 4 years the game exist and it would be a lie to say that the devs are incompetent. It’s just unprofessional, where did u see a horror game with a Halloween event after Halloween ? What a joke
5 -
Call of duty Black Ops 4 had the halloween event in February
0 -
Call of is not a horror game. No summer event, ok we don’t care but Halloween, nope.
4 -
Oh, then Last Year
0 -
You sure?
You sure that one guy hiding in the corner you cannot see who has a combat knife that is playing Nomad with his numbers skin isn't making this game a horror game?
1 -
how do you honestly believe that. how are you able to have such a low image and disrespect to a company who would rather have a late event but you still be able to enjoy it than release on time and it be so full of bugs that it crashes the game.
and if my parents told me that christmas was going to be a week late, i wouldn't have cared because i'd know it was still coming.

i fully support the devs
0 -
they are justified in delaying the event
0 -
THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!
1 -
This is actually a valid point. Overwatch has their event on right now, as does Apex Legends. I'll have time to play these now.
1 -
Lmao, Call of duty is not categorized as a horror game
0 -
and honestly why is any body making such a fuss about it there is literally nothing we can do about it we aren't one of the devs
0 -
thank you to the devs for keeping a level head it take a special kind of person to do that
0 -
thank you for this amazing game
5 -
and somebody please close this thread so we can end the hate
0 -
I'm not upset that the devs delayed the event to fix bugs, I'm glad that they don't want to release a broken event.
What I am *mildly* annoyed about is that they waited until last second to delay it. I was excited to play the event and then the evening before they delay it, and now it's been almost a week since it was supposed to start, and we still don't know when it will be out.
I'm not mad with the dev team, just disappointed.
5 -
i understand but devs get enough of this already
0 -
as always bhvr doesnt know how to communitcate and that was/is the problem. they still not telling us WHAT excatly the problem is. why? maybe they dont even know what the problem is? or they dont have enough ppl to work on it? they dont tell us and thats really shady.
4 -
It was a joke....
1 -
if they dont know what the problem is then its probably a small problem that's causing big issues and since it's small it would harder to find within all the code in the game.
if they don't have enough ppl then everybody is busy
0 -
for us to know what's going on is them being nice companies don't have to say anything at all they have the right to say shutup and play the game. if you dont like it dont play the game
0 -
it makes sense to be dissapointed. i think we all are, at least a little bit
1 -
nice name

Posts like these confuse me. Obviously no one wanted the devs to release the update in an unplayable state, but it’s fair to say that they made some mistakes and criticize them for it. As long as you are not attacking individuals personally or just being overly negative, then there is nothing wrong with a little bit of criticism.
0 -
I'd say we shouldn't be happy nor sad. I'm fairly certain BHVR isn't happy it got delayed.
