Prestige Update: Lack of lvl 40 compensation

I find this to be problematic because I have lost an aspect of the game I prior relied upon and am forced to re-grind these perks in order to obtain lvl 3 on each different character. (For those who don't know, unlocked t3 teachables will stay unlocked, but for further bloodwebs killers will only be able to obtain t1 of those teachables. Furthermore, P1 characters were upgraded to P3 with the new update, but P0 lvl 40 characters have received no similar benefit.)

Had I known this and been playing the game prior to the update, I would have taken them up to P1 without a second thought, but this is an issue nonetheless. The BP difference between P0.40 to P1.01 (prior update) and P0.40 to P3.01 is beyond negligible.

Lest this be resolved, may I ask where to go for to obtain some kind of BP compensation? This has ruined unlocked teachables for me on 4 survivors and 13 killers, which I estimate may cost me around 71.53 million BP under the new system [approx: 25k*40lvl*17cha. + 45k*70lvl*17cha. + 20k*17cha.] (confirm if correct?). When I would prior have only spent about 10.2 million [approx: 60k*10lvl*17cha.] in order to P1 them all prior to the update.

Calculated format: [nk (avg bp cost in range) * nlvl (levels in range) * ncha. (characters) + 20k*ncha. (prestige cost)]

Not sure on the correctness of my numbers, but I think players should either be compensated in the form of either BP or getting those 3 prestiges like P1 characters did.

Thanks for reading the long discussion post, either way.

    It was posted about 3-4 weeks before the update hit.

    You shouldn't have lost anything. Any teachables you unlocked pre update (i.e. your level 40 characters) will be T1 on all your other characters (unless they were T2/T3 already, in which case they'll stay that tier), and you can find the T2 and T3 versions of those perks still in the bloodweb of those characters. You do not need to get characters to P2/P3 to get their T2/T3 perks on other characters - you can still choose to get their T2/T3 versions in the bloodweb.

    If you have lost progress, then that's potentially a bug some people have experienced.

    Sorry my friend you read wrong, all teachables you unlocked you will still have unlocked you get them for free at tier 1 on all characters and can still upgrade them to tier 3 in the bloodweb as you always could.
