Dev, does Prestige actually help your bloodweb?
Both the in-game description and official wiki says yes,
However, 2years ago there were people who compared 500 bloodwebs, found no significance difference,
but it might be outdated since its 2years ago.
So dev, which one is real?

The wiki actually says this? It's definitely not the case and hasn't been for years. They removed that when they reworked prestige

While these numbers seem to be in the code, the way bloodwebs are generated and the way the odds of nodes are calculated, coupled with the multiplicative math behind the increase, seem to cause the effect that nothing really changes.
I tried to edit the wiki a while back but what you see now is everything i could achieve since the Guardian of the Wiki layed stones in my way and reverted what i and others edited. I fighted a good while to atleast get the text over the stats you posted changed.

Like i said, i guess we cant do much about the wiki page, you can try to edit the stuff but you can expect to get shot down. He is very proud about his numbers.

it actually works against you or has in the past for event items and offerings you get less. It is purely for the look nothing else because even the survivors best offerings are mostly garbage. Killers usually get good stuff in every blood web all you are doing is adding to your grind.

Exactly, i havent prestiged anyone once, have all perks on all Killers (well not anymore i guess, since i am working on getting the Blight and Felix stuff on everone, but still.)
Since there are so many superior skins for most chars in the shop you dont even get to use your prestige skins. So wasted time and efford in my opinion
I believe the wiki Guardian to a point did not want to admit to himself, that all his work on prestiging chars was for nothing. Also he insisted his numbers were in the code but since it seems that he didnt understand how these numbers actually effect the bloodwebs he basically posted misleading Information. Atleast that is my opinion. Do with it what you want.
Other than that it could be that devs do something for Prestige in the future but only cosmetic it seems.

Sadly i have owned the game since launch on PS4 and did multiple survivors and killers. I have all the perks on every survivor except the last 2 chapters i haven't purchased and the same for my killers. It was not worth it. The event items and offerings were more plentiful on the non prestiged characters. I tested it with 3 prestige 3 characters 1 million bp each vs 3 non and the spawn rate on average was 3 times better event items and addons for the non prestiged.
P.S I think we can all agree when it comes to BHVR's code for this game it can't be trusted. This is one of the most consistently broke/bugged game i've played in 35 years of gaming. The QA i'm convinced does not exist or it is a magic 8 ball they shake to determine if something passed.

Thats a shame, but it isnt that bad either, for characters like Freddy or Leatherface which dont have skins Prestige is quite nice.
I have the game since launch and for the survivors i only collected all perks on one Survivor since i see Survivors just as skins anyway. Killers have different stats and powers but survivors are all the same.

When did you test the odds for the event Items ?
I guess for the newer events the odds should be fixed could that be ? I wouldnt know gut i assume it changed, i also believe i remember the devs addressing the issue back in the day. Would be good to know.

There's a very slight difference in the early bloodwebs, but come level 50 bloodwebs they're all the same.

4th anniversary after the spawn rate was "fixed".

Ah yes, typical for BHVR.

On the other hand, the devs confirmed that's how it works (or is supposed to work, anyway). The problem is that humans don't inherently understand probability. Even those who study it are still subject to the same psychological biases as anyone else, like thinking that because a coin flip resulted in tails 5 times in a row, that somehow increases the likelihood for the next flip to be heads.

It does, but it's so minimal it's barely noticeable. I'm only prestiging everyone now because they confirmed prestige rewards will be coming in the future.
