The grind is too much

There are about 81 perks in this game for killer. And each has 3 levels so you'd need to grind out 243 perk levels to finish a killer. There are 19 killers. If I did that math right, that's a whopping 4,617 perk levels. The amount of blood points required to p3 max out a killer or a survivor is ungodly.

There needs to be a rework or work around to make this a little more tolerable. Even an incentive to max out a character would be nice. An incentive to prestige them. Hell anything to either make the grind better or at least more rewarding.

    While I agree it is getting a bit much now due to the addition of a lot of new perks and such- do not use P3 as an example.

    P3 is meant to be a bonus thing, when talking about grind it should never be included as an example as it's just that, prestige, it's superficial and optional.

    I'd like if unlocked teachable perks would be instantly available on every killer as lvl 1. It would reduce one third of the grind.

    Honestly I think the amount of grind isn't toooo bad, the problem is the inability to focus a grind.

    What I mean is you are forced to go too long with some killers who NEED certain perks, like say trapper and corrupt intervention, and just never ever get it. You NEED certain perks to be effective as killer, it's not like survivor, your perks decide basically if you will get curb stomped at red ranks or not.

    So I really feel shrine should just have all the perks and not be random; even if they have to cost a fair bit more shards, like 5000 shards or something; and the random ones are just cheaper.

    Pls no. The grind is part of the Game and it wouldnt be very fun to play if you didnt had to grind the first matches with only 1 lvl 1 perk. Sure you will get most likely destroyed but you will see improvements with every perk lvl you unlock.


    The real Problem here is not the grinding. It is the fact, that the Characters are balanced around their addons and perks.


    Maybe they could turn xp rates a bit more up. Like 110-125% from how it is nowadays. Guess it wouldnt destroy anything, as for most players, grinding is a torture.

    They could just make the addons use forever. Some killers are just heavily dependend on good addons, so you have to pump in BP to only get those 2 addons you want. Survivors are not dependend on any items.

    You don't need to buy all killers at once and max them up ;) The only killers that are worth to buy is Cannibal, Plague and Clown because of their perks and I personally enjoy playing Plague and Cannibal. Clown is better now, but not super strong. Then max out the killers you have if you really want P3, and buy other killers one by one. Also Shrine of Secrets in the store, sometimes gives you good perks, for instance I have all Hag and Spirit perks already, so I don't need to redeem/buy those killers.

    4k hours, all characters at max, but no where near all the perks or P3 for majority except what I main. After 5 years of playing I can say I'm pretty burnt out on how the dev doesn't address a lot of issues. While this isn't a HUGE one, it's a QOL one. But we see how they treat anything QOL overall :\

    My suggestion would be to take perks out of the main bloodweb, and you can buy them separately. The bit that really annoys me is the RNG element such that you are forced to spend bp on perks you don't want just to get through them to the ones you do want. Make them more expensive in bp to buy them separately but give us the chance to actually get the ones we want.
