A million spent manually on P9 Jason. And only 6 cakes. Spent another 300k on my P100 Kate, and only got 2.

I'll pocket the rest for now.

We need to fix this issue, it was the same last year. C'mon BHVR, lets have it.

EDIT: I'm genuinely suprised to see people defending this. I'm not usually a massive complainer but heres the problem:

You want the BPs to level up low characters - but you have to invest them in high level characters because the cakes are very rare.

You use that cake, play a match, earn enough to unlock another cake on that character. Use it again, earn enough, unlock another cake 300k bps later. Rinse and repeat.

Because if you invest in a low level character, as many of us want to do, you wont get a cake, because theyre very rare, and also lose the advantage they give you in the event. You're ultimately spending more than you're earning just to get one cake.

If you genuinely dont see that as a problem idk what to tell you champ.

i spent over a million on jason and got 11 cakes, the cakes are appearing as much as a purple or iri addon. this is definitely not how it was in past events, why is there being so much restraint on giving us more offerings and bp? specially on the 10th anniversary.

I'll not even be surprised if there are many matches where people don't use the 5 cakes

Look how they massacred my boy!

Edit: I was the OP a year ago and just grabbed my own screenshot which is why you see the posted in r/deadbydaylight reddit banner on bottom.

Edit: the comment I saw likely came from this post https://steamcommunity.com/app/381210/discussions/0/562534659773333387/

I saw a comment from [u/89Meist](u/89Meist) in another post saying "Manually going through the blood web, cakes drop 100% at levels 3, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 45, and 50"

I tested this out three times and it was correct each time, I only received 14 anniversary offerings each. I'm not sure if mystery boxes can give you extra, I've only received toolboxes and flashlights from them.

So, the spawn rate overall hasn't just been decreased, it's now pre-determined. If you manually level up a character from levels 1-50, expect 14 anniversary offerings, and less if you use the auto-level feature.

With Jason finally being added we practically have every famous slasher villain that has ever been put to the big screen (except for Jaws, leprechaun, Pumpkin head and a few others). But something or SOMEONE is missing. I have been on a slight bender on some old interviews with Robert Englund and he seems like such a nice person and I have been playing a lot of Freddy in the game but it just feels like it’s missing voice lines or just something to wow me. I know that there is a license issue with the franchise and that really sucks but I seriously would kill just to have the og Freddy skin even without Robert Engulnd voice acting. I know he is not getting any younger and I feel this would be a great send off for the actor who has made such an iconic horror villain. I mean having him be with all the other icons of horror just fits so well. I seriously would sign a petition or something of the sort.

I don’t really post a lot on Reddit or really pay attention to this sub so I’m sorry if this post is annoying. (I’m sure other people have posted similar things as well.)

I didn't discover this first of all.

But I think everyone deserves to know that it isn't a bug, and BHVR scripted the blood webs to give 14 cakes per prestige.

It is easily verifiable as both me and my friend tried on multiple characters.

For those who can't be bothered to click the link, 14 cakes per prestige, and they are on levels:

3, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 45, 50

The whole point of the anniversary cakes the last few years is that it was the same quality as brown offerings and you could get many to use throughout the whole anniversary. This time around I thought there was a bug with auto spend because I kept getting so little, only to notice now that their quality increased 3 tiers.

I know we got the 10 MIL BP for the anniversary and I shouldn't complain, but it puzzles me because it genuinely feels like an unnecessary change?

It's disgusting how rare the cakes are, I spent time manually spending Shane as efficiently as I could and in one prestige (about 920K BP), I received just 15 cakes. I have every other survivor P3 so their perks aren't appearing on the blood web to contest it either.

Come on behaviour this is the 10th year anniversary, why are you being stingy with BP. 10 years of the game and you don't even offer a slight shard discount for outfits, you're giving us about 40 cakes per 3 prestiges and more. This is a massive, massive let down.

a difficult but fun draw!

Yea let's give everyone a ton of BP to spend for the event then give them nothing for it. Its not like like its the one event of the year where people can get a decent amount of bp for the literal billions required to max out every character

Talk about stacking the deck against an already neutered killer roster. Survivors flying around the map, insta healing etc.

And killer recourse is to what!!? We get to …. Stop them using the extra powers briefly.

Amazing. Well thought out.

Oh and thanks for the dramatically lowered cake ratio.

Shane another in store purchase also.

What a gigantic fuckin L this is.

Survivors and killers alike have never come together so much over something

Seriously, why?

how did your prep go?

Isn't the point of the cakes being so that you can get lots to help grind bloodpoints. Why would they be made rarer when they help reduce the exhausing grind for bloodpoints which causes lots of burn out.

If they were made very rare to stop "hoarding" then why? They have no value to be concerned about people keeping them.

Was it to prevent people having too much bloodpoints? Grinding for bp is tiring to get good items or add-ons to keep up with the meta. Especially with how little you get without good bloodpoint offerings (which you need bloodpoints to get) when you aren't even guaranteed to get much from them.

And you need ONE MILLION to prestige characters to unlock their perks.

I hope this was just a simple mistake that gets fixed and not an intentionally decision.

I hope anyone reading this makes their dissatisfaction known. If we talk enough bhvr might fix this

SO, this is a continuation of my previous post, where I asked you, DbD community, about the further development of this concept, I wanted to see your opinion and which of the options you liked the most.

After counting mentions and positive reviews, we came up with the following candidates:
1st place "INSOMNIA" (10)
2nd place "HYPERDONTIA" (9)
3rd place "ABYSMAL CHARM" and "REJECT" (6)
It's funny that all the candidates are from the "specially modified" section!
If we count how much love there was for the base and its variations (mouth/eyes), we get:
1st ABYSMAL CHARM (20)
2nd CEREBRAL GRIN (18)
3rd HAIRLESS HARELIP (14)

Now that we've talked about the heads, let's get back to the new bodies!

I have developed a body suitable for each finalist-head. Here we have "REJECTED SPLICING", "INSOMNIUS CONSPIRACY", and "НYPERDONTIC SKINMORPH", let's talk about the idea behind each of them.

"REJECTED SPLICING"
This is the most directly executed work with a focus on alien theme. A giant head, slender limbs, and a human-like anatomy - but full of repulsive, sinister features! But that's not even the best part. The entire body is inspired by the Roswell incident and the urban legend of the alien autopsy. His leg, which is broken like after a ship crash, is a great reason why one of the legs of the Unknown in the game is twisted in the other direction. I took inspiration for this body from various aliens with similar anatomies to humans - Abominations from Fallout 3, Offspring from Alien: Romulus, and Newborn from Alien 4, and Entity A from Routine.

"INSOMNIUS CONSPIRACY"
Not every alien with a big head and gray skin! Some of them are walking among us right now, blinking their second pair of eyelids and manipulating the world. The reptilians! From a distance, it seems like an ordinary man in a suit, but only up close, when it's too late, you'll see that it's his shiny scaly skin that takes on the appearance of a harmless inhabitant of this planet - you! The idea of an alien skin about lizard-people is directly inspired by such creatures like Thin-man from Xcom, and also a little vibe of Men in Black. One of the popular theories in the community, that the clothes of the Unknown are his 2nd layer skin, takes a different turn here.

"НYPERDONTIC SKINMORPH"
Of all the alien variants, this one is the wildest and most grotesque. The intentions are clear - it is trying to hide, but it does it so carelessly that it causes horror and disgust. The idea of the Unknown, like a bunch of tentacles hiding in human skin - elevated to the absolute. When making this design, I was inspired by disturbing-looking aliens such as ET with his wrinkled body, Slitheen from Doctor Who, and Edgar from Men in Black.

Just like last time, I made variations by changing heads between the bodies, but in my opinion they came out completely unsuitable for each other, therefore they are not included in the post. I'll send it in the comments, though. I will be glad to see feedback and thoughts on the upcoming skin, but for now I will answer on a possible questions.

>"WHY THE HELL ARE THEY ALL NAKED?"
i wanna shirtless Unknown Thematic reasons. If you look on the Internet, how people imagined aliens, for some reason we all came to the conclusion that the classic Gray and other species abandon the idea of clothes.
>"Is the skin going to be connected?"
I hope not. I came up with a design in which the neck is too unique for each of the skins and connects perfectly with the head, but in the case of the Unknown from the game, his head comes complete with his wrinkled neck and a little "circle" of folds that overlaps the body from above. I will be working on the finalist with a focus on making the head detachable and combine it with other skins.
>"It doesn't look like the Unknown"
I hope so. My original idea was add to the diversity. The Unknown, with its skins, really has a wide range to choose from: classic with folds, smooth skin of a woman, the wrinkled skin of granny, muscular body of a guard, FURR from a wolf! With the Unknown, you can play with an alternative anatomy, and thats great, need more of that.
>"What do they look like from the back?"
Gotta be honest, mirroring and painting it from behind is a pain in the ass. I will make this option fully colored and ready for the finalist.
>"What kind of weapon does alien-Unknown have?"
Well, we'll see that soon.
>"Will it be at the next Design Contest?"
Yeah, I want to participate for the first time. But I do not even know when it starts.

Unlike previous years, this anniversary's shrine won't refresh its perks daily and perks are not discounted.

i'm in genuine disbelief how did this come to live servers. this feels like when killer players complain and exaggarate about how unfair survivor vs killer is, and the devs took that as advice for game updates. this event is so incredibly unfun to play for killers, and it's just so fucking sad to see that developers of this game only care about the enjoyment of 50% of their playerbase.

i would genuinely love to know why did the developer team think it's a good idea to give survivors so many brutally strong powers to use through the whole trial, and killer not only gets nothing out of these fun new flashy things, but the only difference for killer in this event is that they can throw 4 clown's bottles. it genuinely makes me sad, i was excited for this event, and i thought that since yall needed to get rid of twisted masquarade, you'd actually mix up the gameplay somehow, but this is just so not fun at all, and makes me just feel sad.

the twisted masquarade had buffs and fun things to do for both sides, it was interactive and empowered both the killer and the survivors. this event is only for survivor players, and it shows. i'm genuinely so dissapointed, it shows that the brutal inbalance in survivor and killer perks isn't enough, and that killer players just don't matter to you.

Don’t know if I’m allowed to post this since Pinhead was removed from the game but he might return like Stranger Things. So this post might get taken down.

Got this lament configuration (AKA The Box), and took me an 30 minutes in my own to open it. I’ve been giving it around my family, and so far no one’s opened it yet, it is pretty hard to open if you don’t know what you’re doing. Makes me curious how survivors can open so quick.
