I've also received the email but nothing added to my account. Weird. Glad it wasn't just me at least.

I also received an email with nothing being given in Steam inventory or into my account.
I followed all the rules, and played an extra match when a killer DCed just in case.
@Peanits is there someone to talk to for some transparency?

I'm in the same boat. Email, but nothing on my account. I followed the rules to the letter too.

I'm gonna join in on the party. Got an email but no rewards 😫

I received an e-mail, but saw no rewards and my mind jumped straight to well...
ENTITY DISPLEASED
I sent an inquiry about what I must have done wrong. I figured it was my fault. I guess I'm just jumpy, I should have more faith in the people who run these things. And myself I guess.

Im lost...what are we talking about?

About two weeks ago a thousand players volunteered to play DbD for like 7 hours with a strict ruleset. If we followed protocol, apparently there was a reward. We got an e-mail today saying that the rewards had been sent out.
So... Either there was a hiccup in the system and some people didn't get credited, or we were flagged as having broken protocol. Not sure which, but I really don't want to be one of the guys that corrupted the data.

I'm in the boat too.. *sad face*, but I think I'll not receive the reward anyway, I only played 10 games of killers, all with 4k's.

? What's this altruism experiment thing
0 -
It was a
n externally-sponsoredsocial experiment that DBD invited players to participate in. They were given a strict set of rules and had to follow them, playing the game either altruistically or not. It was only open to people in the US (and maybe Canada, I can't remember) on PC. Signups were a few weeks ago, the experiment was conducted last week I believe, and people were promised ingame rewards for participating if they followed all the rules correctly.EDIT: I had heard that the altruism experiment was part of a larger, external project, but it appears I was misinformed. Apologies.

I made an account just so I can jump in on this. I followed the rules to a T, I even made sure to review them before most of my matches. Got an email but I didn't get anything back.
I even emailed Rover and they didn't get back to me

Due to it currently being the weekend I am unable to find out more information on what's happening with regards to this...I will contact someone on Monday to find out what's happening and update the thread then.

Have heart, the devs aren't just gonna hang us out to dry. They are permitted a weekend too, I'm sure this will all be fine.

After sending in a ticket to BHVR about it, they said that they will try to pinpoint what exactly caused this to happen. So we just have to wait

What were the rewards supposed to be?
0 -
Iri shards and BP

It was not "Externally-sponsored". It was "ROVER Team", who are the data scientists who work for Behaviour.
Just a little detail. :)
If there's a hangup on the rewards, we'll get it sorted out.

Not that I know of. I haven't gotten mine for sure.

It's not that we think they would leave us out to dry, but if the issue isn't addressed then the it's possible that the devs probably wouldn't know.

I emailed the Rover Team back (after opening a ticket and being told to message Rover and not DbD), unsure if it was just me (and a friend who had the same issue). Asking if I was even one of the 'qualifying participants' to earn the rewards because I, obviously as well, see nothing. Only did it tonight though so obviously no reply yet...
Glad to know that my friend and I aren't the only ones. I hope BHVR fixes it and at least tells them "Hey, don't send out an email saying they got their rewards when they obviously didn't."
1 -
I emailed too, though I saw that tickets weren't apparently the way to go so I didn't do that.
No response yet, and no improvement on BP or IS values, so still waiting.

That experiment was the most fun I've had on DbD in a long time. Having a reward on top is just gravy. I wonder what the values for each currency is/are/were going to be?
1 -
I emailed them an hour after the announcement and still no reply...

Its been almost 3 days now and we aren't even getting any kind of confirmation or response from Rover team. Seriously, can we please just get "we are aware of problem" rather than nothing? This silence is making me increasingly frustrated.

I haven't heard of this. Can someone explain?

I spoke to them a little while ago, they're aware of the issue now and if I get further information I will update you.

Rover Team of BHvR ran a Altruism Experiment
There was 1,000 participants and the reward for participating was a portion of Blood-points and Shards. Rover team emailed participants that rewards would be received between the 18th to the 22nd. On the 22nd Rover team sent out an email stating rewards had been delivered but very quickly participants noticed nobody got rewarded. And now its 3 days later.

Thank you.

I was in the first one (if you don’t count the one that was cancelled).
To my friends in the experiment, I got 425,000 BP and 3-4K thousand shards as reward for participating in said experiment. That should give you a rough idea, however, I don’t know how long the experiment was held for, and other factors— but I’d expect that amount.

I just logged on & had 6k more shards & 350k BP in my account. I guess that's the baseline? They sent out another e-mail saying that it's fixed.

I logged on and I have an abundance of Shards but no Bloodpoints?

I had to relaunch the game to see my BP change. Maybe try that?

Didn't work the first time but I tried re-starting steam and it updated. Thanks!

~7,200 shards and 500,000 BP. I had to reload for my BP to show too.

Glad you've all started to receive your rewards now :)
1 -
Still haven't gotten my reward and I restarted my computer multiple times.

After reloading the game I got 6 000 shards and 350 000 BP. That altruistic role sucked to play and the ROI does not make it better.

Thanks Rover, all good.
