    I'm a killer main, but played around 60 soloQ games of the winter event when it first began. ONLY 1 killer threw snowballs and none went into a snowman. People are only queuing up for the extra bp, quick Q time, missions, or for the time advantage lost when the other side touches the event. It's sad

    I think it's really cool that they resell old skins, the whole "veteran player" gatekeeping stuff is so whiny and lame, and im saying that as someone who originally had crowns before they gave them out. The events do change the gameplay and I like them a lot honestly, it just feels like ur negativity bias is getting in the way of letting u enjoy them. No they arent like 2v8 where the entire game gets flipped on its head but it is different and honestly its fun. Just because something has flaws doesnt mean it should be cast out entirely.

    • @dr.emarald

      My entire cosmetic point is from BHVR not picking a lane on which side they want.
      Gives away veteran/old event items, but has money exclusive FOMO items in the store? How does that make sense? If they add p100 rewards I won't care as much.

      ​@@dr.emarald When you say exclusive FOMO, do you mean the seasonal items? I agree it's not that greatest system, but when those items come back around, they go for Iri Shards as well.
      The ONLY ITEMS that are ever 100% fully exclusively for money only are related to IPs, such as Alan Wake, Halloween, etc.
      I'm questioning how well you know this game.

    • @dr.emarald
      @dr.emarald  День назад

      @@Luni25 Seasonal items are part of it, they have also given out old anniversary crowns for free with codes after people had to grind for them.
      Something coming back for iri shards doesn't mean anything, it's a "GET IT NOW OR MISS OUT FOR A YEAR"
      There is also the 2016 legacy which has not returned as I pointed out in the video, but I assume will be for p100 rewards
      My main complaint is that they use FOMO tactics in the store for money on the "BUY IT NOW OR WAIT A YEAR" but then actively bring back older cosmetics that most veterans liked to use as a sign there were playing the game during that time, which were free. They do the same thing with using "Old rift bundles" in the weekly store rotation, but don't put them permanently in the store. Same with charms (But who cares about those lol). They need to pick 1 or the other, not a weird path of both.
      I don't know why you keep ending your comments with digs at me for my knowledge, but alright.

    It sucks that the events this year have felt lackluster in terms of shaking up gameplay compared to last year and/or previous years. Blood moon was the most impactful even if basin locations where bad at time. Where as Halloween and Winter feel like chores and/or had little to no impact. Also doesn't help these event offerings are personal (of course besides Anniversary) and not stackable which would make a difference for just bp gains.

    I really agree with the issue of them giving away cosmetics and other things that you had to earn for money later down the line. The aniversary crowns use to show someone who put time into the game and had been around for a while. It was cool to see. Now its just 'Oh look the free cosmetic nearly everyone can get.' Same with other events and such. It should feel like you were there and earned these cosmetics.

    @Luni25 День назад

    I have no idea where you're getting some of these takes from, but let's address a few things.
    The Ugly Christmas Sweaters that were for sale for only auric cells this year are all new, and some are even for IPs. Alan Wake's sweater will never be 'free'. (the only two that ever were was Bill's, which was given to everyone automatically, and Cheryl's for 3 specific days the year it came out). If you don't want to pay for any Original Character's sweater, next year they'll be available for Iri Shards.
    You complained about having the offerings in your inventory, then immediately talk about keeping at least 1 of the Anniversary cakes. This is why they don't just destroy those offerings. Yeah, you can't show them off unless you stream, but people like to have keepsakes. Some people even have Moon Bouquets, crazy as that is.
    The hell are you talking about the Blood Moon being well received? It was absolutely hated by a vast majority of the fanbase. The BP take was, originally, extremely pathetic for an event that was spouting about being 'the best time to farm BP'. All the red coloring everywhere made tracking a damn chore for Killers, and the abilities you had on the two sides were not exactly equal...and were frankly hard to use due to how limited the range actually was.
    I keep seeing you say the Mistle Toes offering isn't working, which I've heard a lot. But I kept checking after matches yesterday, and kept getting bonus BP from running it, so...
    Even then, if you play it you automatically start with 6 snow skulls, which is a time saver. Don't have to waste those precious seconds grabbing some to start the match.
    The Bone Chill event has always been MASSIVELY popular, it's why it's back for the 4th year in a row now. People adore throwing the snowballs and using the snowmen. I myself saw how exhausting some Killers can be (And every event brings them out. EVERY. SINGLE. EVENT. Some people just like to make others miserable), and was going Killer and going for 8 hooks then goofing off.
    Can't speak for the Haunts, as I wasn't able to play the Halloween event at the start, but they were still stupidly strong near the end of the event. The problem was that it just wasn't worth it for the Killer to spend the time to go in, get the Haunt, and come back out if you were trying for a win.
    But Survivors? Survivors could do that all day long, and still win. I was constantly creating a bunch of flash bangs and just leaving them on the ground, stockpiling the damn things, so folks could always go grab one quickly if they liked.
    Another note: BHVR split the event into it's own playlist, because a lot of people in the community asked for it. Some folks don't want to play with the goofy holiday event, and want just regular matches. So BHVR finally listened and granted the wish. Go play the event, use up some of those offerings you've built up, and don't take it so seriously.

    • @dr.emarald
      @dr.emarald  День назад

      Ugly Sweaters for Haddie, Vittorio, Gabriel, Renato, and Thalita were all released for free with the Winter Event 2023. I never said the new ones for Sable, Alan, Taurie, etc released this year were free.
      Having the choice to keep 1 offering compared to none at all matters to me. If I choose to keep 1 anniversary cake, that's my choice. Not being able to use 300+ arcane dowsing rods suck. Because if I have 300, and I want to keep 1, that is 299 I can still use as an offering. I can't currently do that.
      Blood-moon had positive emotions around it past the first week because of the BP use. No one actually cared about the event itself, which is the same for every event.
      BHVR themselves have said the misletoes offering doesn't work on twitter, with them only being not-killswitched to "Spawn extra chests and have 6 snowballs at the start of the trial"
      If the casual player-base who only plays during updates/events like the Bone chill event, great! As a dedicated player I want an actual different style of gameplay. Farming, which is what you do by going for 8 hooks then "goofing," gets really boring for me when I'm playing for 4-5 hours 6 days a week. I want to play DBD for DBD, maybe 1 farming match a day if that.
      Haunts got nerfed during the halloween event. It used to have no cooldown from haunt --> M1, then they changed that. Making them incredibly sluggish and dull on anything but basic M1 killers, who can't afford the time-sink into the void realm. Which, yes, let survivors do the event. Most didn't from my own personal experience. Granted, most gave-up/died before getting the chance to.
      Splitting the event into its own queue was a good idea, if they actually made the event unique from basic DBD gameplay. It is the same win condition, so people will play the same unless they want to farm. I hate farming in DBD, it's incredible dull and boring. But why would I not queue the event mode with the limited time offerings (if they worked) that I can only use in that mode? Or the base 100% incentive that the normal queue doesn't have for even more BP? If the basic gameplay was actually different and I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't play the mode. I didn't play 2v8 because I found the queue times extremely obnoxious and survivor incredibly boring! I didn't even finish the tome for it. But the winter event offers nothing different.
      All my takes I've formed from personal opinion and talking to friends/mutuals. Now granted, I have a LARGE portion of people blocked/muted on social media sites for the smallest reasons (mostly if I just find them annoying) so maybe my algorithms are heavily altered to favor 1 side. Or maybe I just don't see any "casual DBD player" posts who might enjoy the events for how basic they are.

    • @Luni25
      @Luni25 День назад

      ​@@dr.emarald The Blood Moon was not well liked on Killer side, because if you can't find Survivors, you can't end chases. If you can't end the chase, you don't get that many points, nor can you hook to get any of those points either.
      But you said you want to keep one as a keepsake. That's the whole point. There's no point asking BHVR to destroy ALL of them, if people want to keep them as a keepsake.
      The Lab offering was different, as that was tied to an IP and they had no choice.
      As for the sweaters last year, yeah, that was the point of doing the event. You got to earn free items, without any need for even Iri Shards. But it's been that 'first time in the shop? Yeah, it won't be available for Iri Shards'. That's a big incentive to earn those items while you can.
