Prestige Benefits

Now that Prestige outfits are starting to become outclassed by store cosmetics, I think it's about time we add another incentive to prestiging. This has been suggested before, but I feel like it's relavant again. For every prestige, you should earn an additional 1% bonus by gain each match. This makes the grind a bit easier for players who have already put a lot of time into the game, and would give reason to prestige the growing amount of killers and survivors. If the dev's feel this is too much, they can even split it between killers and survivors, each only getting bonus percentage based on the number of survivors or killers that are prestiged.

    What I would like to see is a lvl of perk that can only be obtained once you reach prestige 3. That would give people incentive to keep leveling up the character more and maybe make it character specific so that its unique to that character at lvl 3 only for both survivor and killer.

    I would love to have set bonuses. For example, 1% if you wear 1 prestige part, 3% for 2, 5% if you wear all 3.

    Yeah! Even just that would be way better than the basically nothing we get now for prestiging.

    Prestiging should stay optional and not become another thing you have to grind for.

    Prestige-widespread respect and admiration felt for someone or something on the basis of a perception of their achievements or quality.
    By it's very definition prestige is nothing more than the perception of achievement. No bonus should be granted.

    In a world where everything is literal then, yes, you are correct. That is not the case. I see no problem giving people added incentive to go back to lvl 1. On top of that, a 5% increase is small enough to not give a major advantage unless you play 1000+ hours.

    But isn't it already something you need to grind for? It's both really. You have to grind for it, but it is optional to do. Giving incentive to prestige would just make it more useful for players who have thousands of hours in the game.

    I should be one of the guys to argue for MORE benefits from prestiging, because I already have prestiged all my killer to various level (most already P3 actually).
    Still I believe the benefit should be not that big. It should always stay optional and not be another necessity to grind for.

    Yes prestiging should give slightly more rewards, but 1% extra BP is not the way to go if you ask me (neglectable anyway)

    Well think about it. 1% per prestige adds up. There are 14 survivors and 13 killers, and each has 3 prestiges. If you prestige every character, that's 27 * 3 = 81% bonus BP. Its minimal if you don't play much, but for people who pump in a lot of time, it reduces the grind a bit.

    Bump because I feel it's really important to get a better reward for prestiging.

    100% agree and needs to have more levels of prestige.

    People have mentioned things like prestige basement skins, and i believe prestige items at one point. There's lots of possibilities.
