suggestion for improving the grind

the grind can be fun for some people, giving them a sense of progress. however as the player unlocks/purchases new characters the grind starts to feel more strung out. i know prestige is mostly just for showing off your dedication, but what if it could be more than that.

P1:same as usual

P2:all starting perks and perks in the blood web start at tier 2

P3:all starting perks and perks in the blood web start at tier 3

I feel like this would make the grind more optional as you progress and makes prestige more rewarding

    You have 84 perks (killers), so 252 tiers. Till you reach rank 50 you can get 59 tiers, which costs around  1 600 000 BP, after it you have cost around 50k for 2 tiers, so right now, if you have all perks to get everything without prestige costs around 6 400 000 BP.

    With your system you would need 4 800 000 BP just to reach prestige 3 and then you would need 2 200 000 BP to get all perks, so it would cost in total 7 000 000 BP. Grind would be exactly same and only change is that you would get prestige items cheaper, so it wouldn't be as interesting to see them on anyone, which I don't think is good thing.

    Prestige is supposed to be something extra, which should never be necessary to do in order to progress in game. It would be way better to lower overall price, so game doesn't force you to do prestige.

    EDIT: your system would cost even more, because you would have to spend more BP on perks, because they are higher rarity. Those costs are based on current system, where you can spend BP mainly on tier 1s.

    I guess I didn't really take into account the extra costs from the bloodweb. I guess it would be easier to just lower all the prices. I just wanted to come up with a more creative solution then just lower the price. Maybe my idea is just more of an easier way to get the perks you want rather than the in general grind

    It would be better for those who wants to prestige, but that is minority. You should focus on majority of players, who don't care about prestige and just want decent perks to use.

    I liked suggestion from video by Space Coconut. He suggested to make all tier 1 free and progress to higher tiers would be by either using that perk or spending bloodpoints.

    To make it easier just give tier 1 perks free and make it so perks you use more often will have higher chance to appear in bloodweb.

    It would also help with gathering data, because players would stop using that many bad perks and focus on perks they actually want to use.
