When Will Haddie Get the Same Treatment as Mikaela?

[MuuShell]

Yesterday, Dec. 12th was "Haddie Day" where survivors were encouraged to play as Haddie and tweet screenshots or clips tagging BHVR with the hashtag: #Welovehaddie

But, it wasn't widely known that yesterday was Haddie day, so not many hashtags were shared.

Why is Haddie the survivor with the least cosmetics, the least customizations, the least creativity spent on the cosmetics she currently has, while having a rich lore and background story? Like, I am a user who will spend real money to unlock cosmetics for my frequently played players, but I have been able to save money since being a Haddie main. It's absolutely disgusting that Mikaela and the Vittorio and others keep getting the spotlight with tomes, rifts, and store cosmetics, while Haddie has only had scraps thrown her way.

In a world where diversity is important, this Haddie behavior is not sending that message.

Also, this content creator did a wonderful job making a video on it:

Its an unfair expectation to have people take part in a hashtag party when nobody knows about it. Also why Haddie and not the others ? and if the others do have days of their own, I seriously doubt anybody knows about it.

its pretty obvious why Haddie doesnt get that many cosmetics. But I disagree on many points. Haddie has an average amount of cosmetics. Not alot, but more than most, 6 characters litteraly has nothing but one alternative costume. Rebecca, Ada and so on.

Even homebrew characters don't get much cosmetic ie Vasquez or Jeff.

Creativity-wise, that's entirely subjective, but compared, again to homebrew characters like Vasquez or Jeff, I disagree that Haddie is not creative, if anything, shes everything but vanilla.

"In a world where diversity is important, this Haddie behaviour is not sending that message."
Thats a political statement, diversity goes beyond racial background, you may believe that yourself, but nobody is tied to that perspective. It is literally impossible to please everyone on this front. The game boast a very broad set of characters. I could complain there isnt enough LGBT characters past David, I could ask for more representation of neurodiversity etc. The proof is that even though they included an indian-descent character. Everything was nitpicked, from the name to the jewellery etc. Again you cant please everyone on the political front.

Lastly; "this Haddie behaviour is not sending that message."
Nobody signed up for this political view, its yours, great, but don't alienate a group of people because they simply don't adhere to your principles. By pointing the finger at others for not respecting Haddie enough, you could very much be the one pushing them away from Haddie out of desire to not have to have to deal with people like you.

This is an unfair expectation out of a community that likes this game. Its already diverse in its characters, and the most commonly played characters are not even the white ones (Claudette, Yui are most played ones).

What about Laurie?

She is a licensed character and will probably never get any more cosmetics because BHVR can not make their own skins for her, they have to use outfits from the movies that they have the license to use.

This would be nice, though. Maybe the license is just for the original Halloween (1978)? If that's the case, then yeah, that sucks.

Not really related BHVR can't give quentin skins because the ip holders of nightmare on elm street are super tight about what they can do with the characters. People are sneeding about haddie because it's a bhvr made character and they haven given her a outfit since her release.

I hadn't heard about this, not everyone is on social media. I know most people are, but not all of them.

Haddie doesn't have loads of cosmetics because she's not a popular character. The more popular characters get the most cosmetics, maintaining their dominance as the most popular characters, thus ensuring that they get the most cosmetics. It's a vicious cycle but one that makes sense from a business perspective. They aren't exactly throwing entire closets at Zarina and Jonah for a reason.

I wish the hashtag thing had more traction but it was promoted by other platforms. But Haddie has been my main since day one when she hit the game. I can't help but become angered by the lack of love she gets. I want to be able to have more than two hairstyles to choose from, more than one shirt style that differs from her default. I love her lore, I love what she represents, and I love playing her. I'm not trying to bash the other survivors, but I'm sick of the hate that's aimed at her.

For whatever it's worth there was a Demogorgon day or something like a year ago and I didn't hear about that either, though a small amount of people I encountered did seem to be playing him.

I do agree that all survivors in this game should get, by default, at least a handful of different hairstyles and clothing styles. Doesn't even have to be anything major, just 4-5 different basic outfits to choose from. I'd use Haddie more if she got more clothes (though I do really like the sweater she just got, which goes well with her mask and bottoms from the last event).

I think it sucks that everyone bashes Meg too, I think she's absolutely beautiful.

Quentin is a licensed character, so he won't be able to get cosmetics made for him easily, or at all. Same for Laurie, Ada, Jill, Leon, etc.

Haddie has been mentioned in DBD lore way before she was put in the game. She is not licensed and an original. Making a few cosmetics that have some variety for her look is a lot more obtainable.

Also, I don't know why her body type and look get so much hate, she's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful.

See, that's why so many people who play Haddie want more for her...to get other people wanting to play her too. The two outfits that look different from her default were limited time outfits and can't be obtained anymore. There's even a legendary cosmetic that was suppose to be released when she came out but it's still sitting in the game files. Like, whyyy can't she get some love??

Also, Meg is gorgeous imo and used to be my main until Haddie came out.

Meg does suffer from some bad lighting at times when the match first starts, zoomed in on her face, but beyond that anomaly I think she's dreamy. And the people who hate on Haddie because of her body shape are buffoons, there's nothing wrong with being thicc. People need to understand that having a fuller figure and larger bone structure doesn't mean that someone's a fat slob.

I'm not familiar with Haddie's legendary outfit, I'd have to go see it. I know that she came with a few basic recolors but I agree that that's not enough, the character's been out for quite a few months and really needs more. Again, I do understand what I assume to be BHVR's position: developing cosmetics for less-chosen characters may not be the best use of time and resources in terms of getting a return on their investment, but as long as certain characters go relatively ignored it will only serve to keep the popularity of those characters low. I'm not saying that they should radically change and release the next two dozen outfits for characters that hardly anyone chooses, but I think there's a middle ground where they don't have to give the next two dozen outfits to Feng, either.

I mean I see feng semi frequently but really she does get an significant amount of outfit choice compares to most surv's, do we know pickrates just to get a scope for how popular she is???

Always a bit annoying to see nearly every rift has had somethin for them lmao

The game is apparently quite popular in Asia, she might be especially popular there. I can't speak beyond my own anecdotal experience but she's definitely among the top 2-3 most common survivors in my games. I like her fine, I'm cool with her getting cosmetics, it's just that she gets..........all of them.

everyones out here talking about haddie when quentins been out for years and has gotten nothing
