Lets talk "Devotion"

So the player account leveling up was a nice addition. I wanted to make a constructive thread about this new depth for the game. I love it, it's a nice grind and very cool.

Playing the game a lot ups your "Devotion" level basically to the entity. Very cool.

The concept is well done. I like the graphics and look. I love the yellow look of it all. Here's some ideas I had for it.

-Getting to level 100 or "Devotion 1" should have a tremendous reward of some type. Either 1,000 shards, or a Devotion cosmetic or something very unique to show off that you got this high.

-Any chance of letting your Devotion Level public somehow? Or maybe have 50 and 100 special cosmetics to let that be an option to show off?

**-Highest Emblem earned should grant 25, 50, 75 and 100 XP. The current max of 18 for Iridescent just seems insignificant and too small.
**
-Having special events around this new mechanic? Shard Event? (1.5x)

**I think I'm currently at like level 27, and I'm getting 235 shards per level. Which is great. I heard that at 100 you only get 300 shards?

This should be much more. Every 100 levels is 1 Devotion level right? That's a long grind. I've played a BUNCH and I'm 27. (PS4 by the way) so I'm hoping that "Devoting yourself to the Entity" grants a larger reward in the future. Surely 300 shards and a reset to level 1 can't be it?

Just trying to help and suggest some neat things to make this game even better. Imagine if getting to level 100 each time gave you a unique cosmetic in a yellow/gold/black style? And 1,000 shards? That would be great I think. And each time you leveled it up 100 times the meter bar and the graphics became a bit weirder and showed cracks in the colors?

Lots of things you guys could do? Thanks.**

Love the game. Bought the DLC... really sucks I have to wait for Auric Cells.

    i would not want to 'show off' a high devotion level.... i would rather ppl not assume i live in a basement on a steady diet of microwave burritos....

    Nice one.

    You get what I mean. It would be cool. I know it sounds lame, but this is like my main hobby outside of real life.

    I substitute this for going out to bars... I'm long long past that scene and vibe. Rather just stay home late and chill.

    Fully agree! With how long the grind is, I’d like either a big shard bonus for prestiging (devotion levels) or some kind of extra cosmetic or something to show off and have fun with, that’d be really cool. Maybe each killer and survivor can have a unique devotion style cosmetic (or multiple cosmetics like with bloody stuff) and when devotion is reached you can pick one of them to unlock?

    If I could say one thing about Devotion and Shards it's that I would like to earn shards like I did before on top of the Devotion rewards, only because the higher your Devotion the longer the interval of shard payouts. If we could earn them as before too, then it wouldn't be so bad. Yea it would take 100 games to get 1000 shards, but it's better than 0 extra shards after 100 games, especially if you are such a high Devotion that you only leveled up a handful of times in 100 games.

    I feel like there should be something exclusive for devotion. Like the bloody clothes for prestiging. Something like that or the ability to unlock something of your choice In the store perhaps.

    Yeah, I think it would be simpler if they included like 1000 shards straight for hitting 100.

    I mean its a long grind man.

    Wanting to bump this... as like I said in another thread... I mentioned this long long ago.

    Not Queen responded too.

    I bumped a thread that's like 9 months old... that I spent a lot of time on. Check it out dude.

    I would be surprised if devotion ever means something.

    I'd be even more surprised if whatever the rewards are would be handed out retroactively for old devotion levels.

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650


    Yes I know. That's why I dug this up. I went into great detail when it was added shorted after.

    Not Queen commented on it even... and it's been forever.

    And I've seen like 3 threads in the last few days asking about it. So I think we need to push the issue. Devotion could be a really fun thing.

  • Angelicus23
    Angelicus23 Member Posts: 2,548

    I got an idea, let me your thoughts:

    Every 10 levels of devotion until 30, you can unlock a devotion body part

    The devotion body parts are like legacys, but instead of yellow, green or blue or red

    @Dwight_Confusion sure would love to see something like this however only getting 1000 shards for devoting is severely underwhelming seeing as you can get that within

    3-4 levels normally but yes some kind of exclusive cosmetic or any type of major award would be great to see

    Any plans for a rework for the devotion system?

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650

    I would like much more as well... and 1,000 shards is weak too I agree, but I was being realistic and underwhelming on purpose.


    I liked the idea about a neat exclusive "yellow" cosmetic that would show off our play time in the game to people. Make it like Legacy, just a different color? Why not.

    Whatever it is, I hope it is backdated, or takes existing into consideration!

  • Dwight_Confusion
    Dwight_Confusion Member Posts: 1,650

    Yeah me too. The game is lacking just a touch right now. For older players at least I think.

    It should backdate. I hope it does.

    Yeah these ideas were all thought up when Devotion was still kinda new, but they mostly hold up well now.

    I would love to keep all our devotion stuff in here, or a update from someone...

    Out of curiosity did you get around to asking? Us *devoted* players have been curious for months!

    Hell i'll even take a Yes/no or a Soonᵗᵐ!

    10 months, how sweet...

    The devs originally discussed rank rewards for season 3. Do you know when season 3 took place? August to September 2016.

    And SWF staying together in a lobby after a game which we'll supposedly finally get with dedicated servers? Here's what the devs wrote in the Patch Notes of 1.0.3, which released on 11 July 2016 (1 month after the game's launch on PC)

    "Note: After playing a game, the survivor group will be automatically disbanded and all members will be returned to their single player survivor lobby. We are working on maintaining the party between games, and you can expect this to come in a follow up patch."

    3 years are a long wait time for a follow-up Patch.
