Just Prestiged My Level 50 Killers And I Feel Conflicted

I'm not sure if my decision was worth it, I'm not all that great at the game and I feel like I just erased all my progress if the sacrifice doesn't really pay off.

    Meh, I feel as if it's worth it if you're a completionist. However, if you're new to the game, I don't recommend doing it until you get all the teachables you need.

    Prestige is not worth it unless you are an obsessive completionist. I completely regret it.

    I love my P3 killers and wear the cosmetics religiously. It puts the fear into survivors

    It's literally just there for the prestige. If you wanted something more, you shouldn't bother. Of course, there are plenty of killers with abysmal addons, so prestige-ing them really isn't losing very much. You just have to get your most important perks over again, which probably means another 1-2 million BP

    I always exhaust my survivor or killers inventory and don't level them past 50 before I prestige. It gives me only a handful of perks to play with so I meme it up in ways I wouldn't consider on my main P3 survivor or killer and I'm thankful for that. (Sometimes my survivors don't get self care! Medkits!)

    Plus it feels good to be in full P3 gear and go down 10 seconds into the trial. Nothing like it.

    I don't suggest anyone P3 more than a handful of characters in DBD 2021, unless you're the type to like heavy grinds. Otherwise, for the casual player, it's just not worth it. It takes 8-10 hours to prestige a character, and that's if you make 50k per game. Double that if you don't have WGLF or BBQ.

    Obsessive completionist here. Prestiging everyone is actually fun for me. I enjoy the prestige ritual of this game and always recommend it to others.

    My warning is understanding how teachables, lots and lots of teachables, make the prestige process more difficult. Do one character at a time.

    Then when you’re like me, working on your twenty third killer with six pages of teachables and a wish for BBQ, you can always fall back on the other killers already prestiged.

    In my case I have twenty two killers with P3 and good builds to help me grind for Nemesis.

    I think its worth to prestige

    Some of the cosmetics are awesome combined with others, and it feels like youre wasting BP if youre putting them into characters that are level 50 no prestige.

    For beginners however, if you prestige someone, make sure you have another survivor/killer to play while you are putting BP into them.

    Prestiging in the current state of the game is really not worth it in terms of pay off or advantages. You get nothing out of it except for bloody clothes and weapons but even then, let's be real here: with the amount of cool cosmetics in the game, who even cares about bloody clothes and weapons.

    If it's for bragging rights, then the only thing you're really bragging about is the fact you have a lot of time on your hands considering prestiging doesn't take any skill either; it just takes far too much time for what you really get out of it. It's just pointless in my opinion.

    I suggested an idea a while ago where prestiges could be linked to a reduction cost at an ingame shop so people could purchase the items, addons and offerings they want. This way there's actually something to it and you're kind of incentivized to prestige as well, while in the meantime prestiging would also cost way less time as you could just purchase BP offerings and perks that grant extra BP from the shop. It's just an idea and I'm sure there are countless others out there that could make prestiging more interesting.

    Yeah I prestiged many killers at once and now I'm stuck with 4 killers, right now I'm levelling hag so I probably won't have any bp saved for Nemesis

    I P3 now, to be sure it's done and I don't suddenly want to prestige later after farming for the perks.

    I felt weird when I P1 for the first time, now, I just go for P3 directly...

    i did this once, very regretful decision. Took a year to get me back in a decent spot. Now I do this…

    • Get everyone to lvl 50
    • Get a decent build on everyone
    • Decide which killer I want to sacrifice/ignore for a bit and prestige them
    • Return Killer to any decent spot…choose another (repeat)

    All at once isnt the strat, your just limiting yourself too much on who you can play comfortably and digging a hole for yourself.

    I wouldn't have prestiged all at once. Going 1 by 1 would have been much better.

    I had my doubts with prestige, when I started playing and decided to not prestige the characters. But after a while, when I had everyone at lv 50 and I still wanted to keep playing, I thought it would be a good idea to prestige and get all the rewards, so that is what I did. I have all my survivors at P3, some killers at P3 and most of the others at P2 now.

    My advice is not to prestige everyone at the same time or else you will end up with a bunch of lv 1 characters. Pick 1, prestige, get them to lv 50 and then prestige another one.

    It is not worth it. I recently stopped presteiging my killers and survivors because you get nothing from it and you don't have any items or perks.

    Yes, you did indeed do it for nothing.

    That is, if you see the bloody cosmetics as nothing.

    Which makes the decision easy: Only Prestige if you want the bloody cosmetics, and have at least 1 character with a good loadout to fall back on.
