Incentives to encourage Killer Variety

Incentives to encourage Killer Variety

(Originally posted by @BaysideBebop on Twitter.)

I don’t know if this has already been posted here, but the other day I came across this awesome concept, and I honestly think it would be a really interesting addition to the game. As you can see in the picture, each killer receives a Bloodpoint bonus depending on how many people are currently playing them, encouraging players to pick less-played killers and increasing killer variety.

Firstly, if you’re a survivor main, you’re often facing the same few killers over and over again (Nurse, Blight, etc.), which gets pretty boring after a while. On the other hand, if you’re a killer main, chances are you stick to the same strong killer most of the time. There’s nothing wrong with that (in fact, it’s kinda logic considering how survivor sided the game can be), but after hundreds of matches, even that specific killer can start to feel repetitive. (The same could be said for survivors who always play the same character, although survivors don’t have unique powers like killers do.)
I also think this could help people discover a new killer main. Maybe you’d decide to play a killer you normally wouldn’t touch just because they’re offering a Bloodpoint bonus, only to realize you actually enjoy their playstyle. At the very least, it would encourage players to experiment more instead of always relying on the same few killers.

Lastly, if you’re grinding for Bloodpoints and you actually enjoy playing as a killer, having an extra incentive to play underused killers would be a nice bonus.

NOTE: As I’ve said, I know some killers are stronger than others, which is naturally why they’re picked more often. I’m not expecting every killer to have the exact same pick rate. However, with over 40 killers in the game, I think Behaviour should encourage players to explore the entire roster instead of seeing the same handful of killers every day.

This Cloud Gaming service is garbage.

I’ve been using this platform since September 2025 after switching from GFN because of its many supposed advantages, such as being able to download PTBs, having no 100-hour limit, and more. However, I have to say that this service is complete garbage. At this point, I genuinely feel like everyone claiming it’s a great service is either a bot or being paid to promote it, because I refuse to believe most of the positive reviews are genuine.

When I first subscribed, I immediately noticed occasional stuttering, with my latency randomly spiking from around 30 ms to well over 250 ms. As you can imagine, this is incredibly frustrating when you’re playing games that require low latency, especially on a cloud gaming platform where performance is everything.
When the servers are full, you’re placed in a queue that can range from position 1 to position 57—or even higher. But honestly, it doesn’t even matter, because once you finally get into a server, your latency can jump from 20 ms to over 2,700 ms. That only shows how overloaded the servers are. No matter which server you connect to, the experience is often the same.

The customer support is also far from ideal. I used to play through Boosteroid’s web version, where I constantly had an issue where the latency would be reported as around 30 ms, yet it felt more like 600 ms because of the massive input lag. Moving my mouse or controlling my character felt unbelievably delayed. I opened a support ticket once this became unbearable, and they asked me to download some sort of diagnostic tool to monitor my connection during a Boosteroid session. I sent them the requested screenshots, and after reviewing them, they simply told me to wait a few days. I did exactly that, only to never receive a clear explanation or an actual solution.

Finally, from what I’ve seen, the company also seems to prioritize certain regions over others. I’m from the EU, and whenever I read discussions about server performance, people playing on the Brazilian servers almost always report that everything works perfectly. I rarely see them complaining about the same issues. That makes me think Boosteroid invests more heavily in the infrastructure and server quality of certain regions. I understand that they may prioritize markets with a larger user base, but it still feels unfair to customers in other regions who are paying the exact same subscription.

Anyway, this will be my last month using Boosteroid. The only times the service is actually usable are either very early in the morning (7:00 AM–11:00 AM) or very late at night (1:00 AM–5:00 AM), which is obviously not practical for most people.
