Equip Five Perks

I think you should be able to equip a fifth perk if you meet one of the following conditions:

1) You level a character to prestige III and level 50, or

2) You level a character to prestige III, level 50, and your characters has every perk for that character.

I like option 2 better because it encourages more game play when new perks are added to the game. When you unlock a fifth perk, it only unlocks for the one character unless you meet the conditions on another character. Either that, or you can do it twice...one killer and one survivor. I assume that has been suggested before.

    No. That makes that you HAVE to level up every killer to p3 to keep up.

    No thanks. Prestige is for the clothing. The grind is hard enough as it is and we don't need a fifth perk slot.

    The grind is rough. I definitely don't like the idea of this requirement becoming the norm. I do sometimes wonder about a 5th perk though, especially for killer as you are basically required to run at least one gen speed perk at the higher ranks.

    Adding a fifth perk slot once you have P3-50'd a character and unlocked ALL perks for them? This would totally embrace and canonize the incredibly toxic and oppressive grind with no hope for improvement, and it would create a gulf between the "haves" and "have-nots" of DBD, but the gulf would be made of nothing but time. That is, if all you do is play DBD, maybe you would have a shot at "earning" this.

    Only the extreme minority of players would be able to hit this milestone with, like, even a character or two in any reasonable time frame. My one-year anniversary is coming up next weekend, November 3, and I still haven't unlocked every teachable perk. How do you think it would look to the player base if that were the first step toward reaching a single character's full potential?

    Not to mention the fact that having five perks would fundamentally alter the game balance in a really destructive way -- totally tilted in favor of survivors, I might add, because it carries the potential for four extra perks in play that the killer has to account for, while the killer would only have a single extra perk.

    No, I dont like this idea.
