Thoughts on rewarding long time players?

I think people who have been playing this game for a long time should be rewarded. This game has been out for almost 5 years and there are still some that have been playing it since launch or close to launch I think they should be rewarded somehow. An example would be if they have even 1 legacy piece give them the rest of the legacy cosmetics. Or at least a very cool skin that shows their dedication to the game it doesn't have to be legacy but it is a cool idea.

    Legacy will not come back. Also, there are people who lost Legacy, so those who lost it, should not get anything, while those who have a Legacy 1-Meg should get all the other Skins?

    What about players who have a lot of Legacy-Cosmetics? They would get less than those who only have 1 piece and they cosmetics which they actually played for will not be special at all.

    And not everyone who has Legacy is playing that much, e.g. I have around 5400 hours, there are Legacy-Owners with less playtime.

    I am all for something like Devotion-Rewards, but that should not have anything to do with Legacy. And well, when it comes to Devotion, the Devs have not talked about Rewards so far, so highly unlikely that something is coming for players who play for a long time.

    Monto has mentioned allowing people who have Legacy to choose one piece of clothing to get legacy effects on, while everyone else gets to choose one Legacy set. I think this would be a decent idea, especially since it would give back Legacy to players like Puppers who lost it due to a bug.

    Legacy-effects will not happen. This would mean that BHVR would have to create a "Legacy-Version" of every Cosmetic. Quite a lot of Work for not really much benefit.

    When it comes to lost Legacy, BHVR should restory Legacy-Items for players who lost it, based on the Achievements. Yes, it might be possible that this person does not get the Legacy he actually got back in the day, but it should not matter if someone has the Achievements for Legacy 2, had them on Dwight, and gets them restored on Nea, if they like to.

    I don't need rewards to play the game. Playing the game is its own reward.

    Long time players already have the awesome legacy skins for the starting survivors.

    The only reward I'm even remotely interested in is getting survivors and killer I still haven't unlocked unlocked for me -- I think I still have 4 survivors locked (even if I already got all their perks) and about 10 killer (I don't play killer as much).

    That's a good point. Devotion rewards do sound good but Devotion was introduced 2 years after release. I would like to see at least some special skin it doesn't have to be legacy but would be nice.

    I'm all for rewarding players for sticking with the game, but I wouldn't want Legacy. I'm a console player and I Feel that if we did get Legacy, that negates Legacy's overall value for those who earned it back in the day, which from what I hear, was a hell of a grind to earn. I'd prefer they just did something with Devotion levels. That to me is more a show of time played. Like, each Devotion level you earn let's you choose a full outfit solely created for Devotion for a survivor or killer of your choice. Something that is unique, new and wouldn't devalue existing cosmetics.

    I have a fantastic idea for long term players.


    How about you can take a level 50 character, and reset it to level 1. This will wipe all of that character's progression but give you a new cosmetic of that character's base skin, but with a bloodied texture to show your Veteran status!

    You could do this three times, once per slot of the skin, until you eventually get all three pieces.

    And on the second run-through of the bloodweb, we'll improve the items that appear slightly.

    I'm still working on the name for this system.

    Most of us with thousands of hours in the game already P3's everyone we wanted. A long time ago.

    Complete and utter sarcasm with a splish-splash of sass. Well done!

    I wish if the upcoming rank rewards were Iridescent Shards instead of just Bloodpoints. Those 250k Bloodpoints can be obtained easily by just playing Killer 4-5 times with BBQ and pudding, they don't feel special, but iri shards..

    No, legacy was for those that grind the early days of the game. It is never coming back. Stop asking.

    More like 3 games. But, in the end, it is more than nothing and personally, I am looking forward to the bigger Rank Reset, might take some more time to be back at Rank 1 then.

    (Also I might try some Killer Adepts, while not being easy, they will certainly be easier)
