New progression system is unfair to anyone who had raised characters to level 40 prior to update
If characters at prestige 1 are boosted to prestige 3, then characters at level 40 without prestige should be boosted to prestige 2 with bloodweb level 40.
the difference between level 40 and prestige 1 is only 10 levels. And for most people, there was never any purpose to get those final 10 levels since the teachable perks were already unlocked at level 40.
Now, the people who stopped after unlocking the teachables and never gained those extra 10 levels, are left behind 110 levels. It's like a punch to the face for everyone who thought they were done grinding for perks, only to be told "hey too bad you didn't take your characters those 10 extra levels... now you gotta grind 110 more".
A fair boost for anyone who previously had all teachables unlocked for a character would be to bring them up to prestige 2, level 40. By doing that, these people would have the same amount of grinding left to do now, as they would have had pre-update.

We could see this coming from weeks away. When they increased the bonus prestige levels for old prestige levels and didn't adjust the prestige levels awarded for number of perks unlocked, they set the community up for strife and discord

Remember, not everybody follows social media and news about patches. Some may have been unavailable to play the game.
It would have been much better for them to make the transfer fair, rather than justifying a poor transfer with "hey they posted about it".
I have played this game for many years now, and I have over 1500 hours of playtime. I never thought I would have to stress-grind 10 additional levels before a patch or I'd be set back 110 levels... I didn't find out about this until a friend asked if I wanted to come check out the new patch.

I 100% agree, I made the same points when I warned about this weeks ago. When I said "we could see this coming from weeks away", I'm referring to the unfolding disaster and community anger, not the arcane steps needed to forestall item and progress loss.

thank you for clarifying <3
I'm always amazed that BHVR so often manages to mess things up and make their playerbase upset, when the community always sees these things coming...
