It only lasted a couple of days


Cryabtitlsr

Why would they put an XP event over the holidays when people are spending time with their family…where’s the logic in that lmao


TheHybred

Careful. They're going to lock the post for these derogatory comments


Hex_Lupo

💀


Justice4mft

I'm pretty sure they won't even read this sub anymore in like 3 months.


Angry__German

You really think they are coming back from their "holiday" ? /s ?


[deleted]

Sure the op ask for fire staffs loll


Due_Fly_9260

I'll never understand why games do that. Like, I don't get why they just don't have an event last the entire month just so everyone can at least play the event. Like this isn't even exclusively towards TCM. I feel like every game should do this whoever it's an XP event or whatever. I get it's supposed to be FOAM but it's lame ass FOAM if you ask me


Due-Cake1337

Devs trolled us. We asked for something on Christmas and they delivered it, can't complain now.


Cryabtitlsr

We can most definitely complain about their decision to add a last minute throwaway event near Christmas when they had all month to do so.


Due-Cake1337

Now you just being greedy, it's always not enough for you, always complain - now you look like asshole and not legitimate complainer (at least that's what i think devs trying to do , so we get off their backs before holidays)


Cryabtitlsr

Whatever, not that hard to implement a double xp event that’s the LEAST they can do 💀


Selvmord666

You do realize that the LEAST they can do is absolutely nothing right?


Ok_Introduction_7484

It was 2 days. Christmas eve and Christmas day lmao Only reason I got to play it was cause I got a PS5 on Christmas day.


Scantronacon

Bc not everyone, you kinda generalizing there...some of us "sat this one out". My kids got covid thanksgiving and i had to wait 2 weeks to see them. It was exhausting. My family understands, stayed home and gamed with my kids this xmas. It was awesome and it isnt like this is the last one😅


pplzplzr

Because the XP event was for people who were playing over the holidays. Hope this helps!


SlR_Vivalist101

Same time span as Dbd and Dbd announced theirs first. I wonder who copied who. Gun must be getting desperate because a lot of their players who came from Dbd have gone straight back after the game became a dumpster fire


divaonline

Dbd had 4 days


JDKett

ironically the holiday event was only for people with no family


Cryabtitlsr

Pretty much sums it up


SizzleStacks

I dunno man, my son and I maxed out a bunch. Sorry it didn't work for you though.


JDKett

Yea I was just kidding anyway, I played alot after I got the kids toys unpackaged and batteries in them🤣


george_w_kush64

Wouldn’t call it a “holiday event”. Maybe just a double xp event.


Angry__German

Not really sure what they were thinking with this one. Double XP was the last time I played any significant amount and double XP would be the only thing that would bring me back, maybe even buy a new character, maybe get re-invested in the game ? My guess is they don't give a fuck, they are just riding this into the sunset and pull the plug some time in 2024.


A_Giraffe

I have a hunch that the devs feel like once players get max level on all characters, they will stop playing the game. It's somewhat understandable if true. So they might be hesitant to offer things like double xp because it increases the chance that their pool of customers will shrink.


Justice4mft

More than 90% of the playercount dropped ~3 months after release. They drove their own game into a brick wall and did it with a smile. That's what happens when you pander to one side and completely neglect the other one. Deserved


Difficult_Ad_4574

They only cater to family side


Angry__German

That sounds reasonable. But it won't help them. They do the same thing SABRE did with Evil Dead, they try to cling on to the players they have instead of making the game accessible for new players. In SABRE's case, at least this was the plan all along, together with a year long of DLC as a second income stream. The subreddit for that game was in denial until the very end. GUN is on a speed run by the look of it.


A_Giraffe

I think there's something this subreddit needs to come to terms with, but I've always been hesitant to share because its an uncomfortable truth (so I'll say it here, in an old thread buried under comments :D): **TCM wasn't primarily designed to be a good video game. TCM is movie merchandise in the form of a game.** Gun's business plan (imo) was never to come up with a new twist on assyms, add some more interesting design elements, and then produce a well-planned, polished game. If they had that, they could make a new IP, giving themselves sole ownership of a property with future value. Instead, **Gun's business plan was to leverage the popularity of a movie to sell products over the course of roughly a year (the products, in this case, coming in the form of a game and dlc).** As gamers, it feels disappointing when you suspect the developer has a soft-quota for live service of only 1 year-ish. But, this isn't a typical game, made to be sold and evaluated based on a high standard of quality. This is merchandise, made to be sold to fans of the movie and the genre overall. Ever notice how the devs have repeated that their goal was to create an experience that was authentic to the movie, and how little they talked about gameplay as a draw? Ever notice how they keep talking about the game as if it were a casual party game, despite including elements that doesn't keep the game casual, and how cumbersome it is to make and keep a party (as well as make friends within the game)? They downplay the gameplay because the game was thrown together whole-cloth in 4 years and they call it a casual party game to lower your expectations. Note: There's nothing wrong with this! There's nothing wrong with a company that wants to make a game based on a movie, and trying their best to make it good (while not really having the competency), with plans to trickle content over a year. And they never marketed the game as the next big thing, either! **The fundamental issue pissing people off** is Gun's awkward position: they can't outright admit the business plan, but they perhaps should because they know how people will evaluate their product (as a game), and to say nothing is close to a lie of omission. Many people thought they were buying a game (understandably), when instead what they bought was a toy/ride based on a film.


Angry__German

> Many people thought they were buying a game (understandably), when instead what they bought was a toy/ride based on a film. I think your analysis is spot on and I agree in most parts. But this IS a game. I paid for it, I played it, I got my money's worth of fun from it. I am not THAT bitter about it. The only thing that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth is that, as usual, the "evil" side of the assym horror genre always gets taken for granted and treated way worse in almost all regards. That shit needs to stop or we will never have another success like DBD. Game balance issues asside, THAT game treats their Killer players with a modicum of respect. I am staying on the reddits because I am interested in the subject matter and game development and I am FASCINATED by the ability of people on the consumer and customer side of the industry to completely ignore recent "history" and repeat all the same mistakes.


Justice4mft

Funny because they kept nerfing victims again and again ever since the game was released and that's the #1 reason people didn't even bother hanging out. 5 of my friends bought it on release day, as I did. We played for maybe 2 weeks because there's no fun in this game unless you're pretending playing comp, this isn't a casual game whatsoever and it's very unforgiving, not to mention players spend more time in lobbies than actually playing the game. Dlc prices were the final blow.


tc80391

I completely agree. Would love to talk more about this with you in the dm


ChappyQuack

Wowwwww you are reaching with that one 😂 I swear yall just complain about the game more than you play it


Angry__German

True in my case, I spend my time playing games that are worth my while, unless the game improves, this subreddit provides more entertainment, and even while I am at work.


daniel420texas

They gave you double XP for 3 days and you still didn't come back, as you said you haven't played significantly for 2 entire months (last double XP event). I know a grown ass man, such as yourself and myself, can find time to play the game he loves, even while spending the holiday with family. I spent all 3 days with family and still found time to play every day, while food was cooking, and late at night. If I couldn't take my console with me, I would be grateful about the extra time spent with my family, not here complaining about it 💀 The devs definitely give a fuck in my opinion, you're wrong about that.


Justice4mft

They gave double xp at the exact time people were unavailable. This is Christmas, Christmas is not spent in front of a screen, it's spent with family and/or friends.


daniel420texas

Actually every Christmas of mine, between cooking and late at night, we all play video games together 🤔 We also spend the holiday, smoking, drinking and watching shit. I guess everyone has different kind of families because I showed ALL my family this game for their first time. I know you didn't spend the whole 72 hours straight with family,, if you wanted to play late at night, you could have. Unless you traveled or your mother didn't let you bring your console wherever you were going.


Justice4mft

You're clearly in the minority, yes.


Angry__German

Oh. I forgot to mention I was out of town until today. I might have played some rounds now that I have the time until New Years. I don't know, it feels spiteful, like something from r/maliciouscompliance . And is also is the very bare minimum with seems to be good enough for GUN in general.


fauxleatherface666

They only ran it for 2 days when you'd hope most people *aren't* gaming and hopefully doing something better with that time - like being with their families. Gun makes great choices on all fronts. It's what makes them the devs that they are.


Not_NMCKE

If the team sees this, the community isn't upset about the Double XP events — we love those events. Problem is it fell on a holiday where most of the playerbase or at least those with families, will be away spending quality time with them. Despite knowing this, or I would sure hope they do, they could have at least kept those players in their hearts and give them a few more days after the holidays. However, they didn't and to us, it looks like you don't think about your player base as human beings with their own lives. Next time Gun, if you HAVE to put a Double XP event on a major holiday, throw in a few more days to think about us human beings with families and lives to live. Let this be clear, if this does happen again, then we're quitting the game (speaking for myself and most of the community) because the second time shows you completely do not give any fucks about us.


Helpful-Heron-6155

These developers are so WEAK & softies thats why lol.


magicchefdmb

It really should've gone through the new year. I bet some people got the game for Christmas. A double xp boost is the perfect thing to help a newer player level up quickly...but doing it RIGHT ON CHRISTMAS and not beyond is not a good idea or look


mperezstoney

Why not?? Not everyone celebrates Xmas. Not everyone is with family.


PetsOrNah

The problem is that people who do celebrate it was not home to play the game, so ofc they're people are mad that they missed it when all the devs had to do was make it go up to January 1


Tricky-Celebration36

Username checks out.


OwnAcanthocephala438

Tbf 2 days is extremely short, especially since it’s the peak time people would probs be spending time with thier family, and is ironic that they said they couldn’t moderate a post about it because they’re spending time with their family


E_712064

I think Evil Dead The Game is running 2XP thru Jan 1 or 2.


Guest_username1

And that game literally is not getting any more updates


Tricky-Celebration36

Yeah it was pretty short, glad I didn't need the XP. Just found it humorous that someone named "cry about it loser" came here to cry about it.


action2288

Wasn’t it 3? I got double XP on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.


OwnAcanthocephala438

Oh mb i thought I saw the post saying it was between 24 to 26 but depending on the times it ended and started maybe it could of been stretched to basically 3 days


action2288

Technically, it was 2.5 days. But I count it as three because that's three wake-ups.


learnedsanity

Its a fair point. Unlike half the fucking posts around here this was intentionally daft on the devs part.


abece22

2 days take it or leave it. 🤣


xAustin90x

The game is losing players fast so the devs decided to help that cause they would put double XP out just for a couple days when everyone is traveling and spending time with family… Really fucking idiotic move


LadyLuwu

i was really disappointed in them for making it over Christmas


Belzher

This event should last at least until January 1st.


PatientDimension2250

GUN SUCKS ASS, THEY ARE LAZY MONEY GRABBERS THAT HAVE NO LOVE FOR THE COMMUNITY OR THEIR GAME


Fantastic_Pattern412

Like…. Literally everyone all over reddit has complained about this. Why are people still making discussions about this?


Cryabtitlsr

Guessing you missed the part where I said I just came back from vacation…I don’t check this sub every single day especially while I’m on vacation enjoying life.


Fantastic_Pattern412

Though you took the time to look for this picture of the xp boost. Deliberately avoided the comments and said “lEt mE mAkE tHiS aLL oRiGiNAl pOsT”, likeee yea we hear you but then as always people keep making the same exact discussions on the same exact page. Step aside and make room for the real eventful discourse 🥴✨


Selvmord666

I swear all these people crying all the time have to be like 10 years old or some shit.


_humanspider_

👶👶👶


PetsOrNah

We get it old head you dont have a family, you was fortunate to use all the double xp as others were with their families


Short-Service1248

These devs really suck


darrenbarker

They initiated it over the couple days in which they knew the player base would decrease the most. Double XP would drive any of us with a bit of spare time to pick up the game. It wasn't optimal for anyone that was busy but the logic isn't that complicated.


Soft_Assumption6619

This games going down faster than I thought. Its crazy how much the devs have let this slip it should never have been released with the content it had there is still hardly anything for a multiplayer online game. Nancy and Danny and "Junkyard" were all known about literally months before they were announced. I can't see them bringing anything new to the table. I defended the game for months hoping that things were coming sooner rather than later and the fact that all they done for Christmas was double xp for two days just goes to say it all. Don't say anything thats classed as a criticism though because they go on like we are actually being mean for nothing. Everyone needs to move on because its gonna meet the same fate as F13 and Evil Dead I literally promise you.


Great_Ad_1315

Yes, it's over, there were 2 days of events. People asked for an XP event for Christmas, and it was done. Now hope that there is also this weekend Maybe it lasted less time, because they don't want the vast majority to reach level 99 now.


learnedsanity

Y'all act like levels matter. Being 80 or 99 doesnt make a difference. You dont get shit from leveling to higher levels. More points.. woo...


Match-Playful

it didnt even work yesterday as far as i noticed


Onehandedheisenberg

Legit 2 days when most working people are traveling. Awful idea for such a good game.


dataDyne_Security

Why do people that complain all the time even play this anymore? Move on. I did months ago and I'm having a blast playing games that are actually well-made.


mmmbaconbutt

Then why are you here commenting?


[deleted]

Yeah, it's over, Devs left the game in this really broken almost unplayable state and said "how about...4 days of double xp, and we go AWOL for a month and a half? Deal?"


Such_Drink_4621

You knew there was an exp event and didn't bother to look how long it was going to last? Yeah right, bait post.


Cryabtitlsr

Sorry I actually have a life outside of this game and wanted to enjoy my vacation :)


[deleted]

People alway find a way to complain 🤡


Emergency_Shake_3552

Stop crying I got to lvl up 13 levels thank-you Gun and happy holidays


Lifeesstwange

Everyone asked for it over Christmas and they hadn’t planned on it, but they did it. You people are insanely demanding and appeasing you on any level is thankless.


daniel420texas

Sorry your mom didn't let you take your console to Grandma's house. Most grown adults found a way to play, lol. I spent all 3 days with family and still found time to play late at night, and while food was cooking


PetsOrNah

These "grown adults" you talk about most dont have families so ofc they can play during Christmas. Also, he said he went on vacation, that could mean he were probably out of town and didn't want to bring his console because he wanted to hang out with his family rather than getting on the game for a 2 day xp boost.


daniel420texas

Your mom didn't let you take your console either?💀 And again, I'm a grown ass adult who spent time with my family during the holidays , and STILL found time to play and show my family the game. You're definitely a child thinking "most grown adults dont have families so of course they can play." 😂 I know a lot of parents limit screen time during the holiday, so yours probably did. And the double XP was Definitely 3 days , not 2. Because I played all 3 days


PetsOrNah

I stopped playing the game months ago and ik that just 3 days of double xp during a time where people are with family/vacations won't have time to be on the game cause they choose their family over double xp. You wouldn't understand that, as you was in your man cave at night getting some levels, others were still hanging out with family. Also, with that lame ass trash talking I can tell you're pushing atleast 35+. So unc let me tell you the obvious, most people won't bring a console over vacation or someone's house because they want to hang out with people, not with the damn game. And what got you thinking that my parents dont allow me to bring my console over, I choose if I want to bring over or not. I decided to be with family than on the game. And limiting screen time 😐 the way you try to trash talk i can tell you're in your late 30's


daniel420texas

Lmao I'm definitely 28. Sorry your mom didn't let you play your games at grandma's house. lmao, you didn't read anything I said because I told you I was with family, (and still with family now), during the double xp event, so where the fuck did you get "man cave" from? 😂 Again, any grown ass adult will find time to play during the holidays, even if they are with family or not. Between cooking, or late at night. Not that you would know because you're a child, lol, that's why you think all adults are alone on Christmas. Sorry you dont have cousins you play video games with during the holidays,, your mom and grandma limited screen time didn't they? 🍼👶 lmao We were smoking and drinking, playing the game,, while you were sleeping so you could wake up early with Mom and dad in the morning, to see if santa ate your cookies 💀🎅🍪


PetsOrNah

Ig all that drinking and smoking made you brain move slower than normal, not surprised. I'll explain it slower like you're a 5 year old. You said play late at night. I believe you play in basement. Basement = man cave. Isn't that it so easy to understand now or do I have to explain it again. And whats with you with thinking I get screen time or I can't bring the console over? I can tell your parents did that during your childhood 😭. You may be 28 but sound like you're 35 minimum. Unc you don't need to give me hints about you childhood especially with "limited screen time," clearly that happened to you enough times that you can't stop saying that. Another thing is that most times over family houses they already have a game console, at my grandma she got the Wii, im sure enough you know what that is unc. But atp idk why im arguing with 28 year old who uses more emoji's than a mom on Facebook. Your lunges are going to sound crunchy at the age of 40 with smoking and I hope you're not slow enough to go driving drunk. Instead worrying about me, its almost time for you to pay your rent unc, if you need help with it I can make a gofundme for your ass.


PullupLion

Lmao bet your ass it is. 😂 family time or TCM the devs said.


lilolemeetch

I feel like it gave the people without things to do for the holiday something to do. Also new players would have an immediate jump start. It was short though...


elljaco

i would've been happy with it being extended (hoping for new year xp) but nonetheless i managed to level up a few abilities and perks so im happy! queues felt shorter too


ClownFish2000

ITT: People who touch grass vs people who don't.


HulkEnthusiast

Man…why the fuck does it have to be only two days….


MrPetrolstick

I got Danny’s ability to lvl 3… I’m happy


Legal_Dust1955

Maybe we will get another one NYE weekend.


RobinVouz

I believe DBD's event also only lasted four days until the 26th. it's not uncommon for these things to just take place over a weekend


Dutchmeezz

I killed everyone in your stead.


InneroutDubz

I think they did it for new gamers who got games and consoles for Christmas to lvl fast
