When is the grind being lessened????
You guys said you'd do this months ago there is no reason it should take me three months to level a character to prestige 3 and maybe have all the perks. Get rid of perk tiers already nobody is using tier 1 and 2 perks by choice the only time they use them is when it's all they have on characters they're being forced to play for challenges typically. I can't imagine what this grind is like for someone starting to play now it's ridiculous. If you really want to lessen the grind lower the costs of things. For the crappy amount of blood points survivor get by default the blood web leveling should be balanced around that or We're Gonna Live Forever should just be base kit for survivors. If you wanna be fair make BBQ's bonus points effect base as well and just let it be a hook aura reading perk. This grind NEEDS to change its way too much especially for all the newcomers that not only have to learn the game but get the perks they want on the characters they want. If this issue isn't talked about in the Anniversary I'm going to be extremely disappointed by the lack of care for general game health it's the most basic aspect of the game. You've addressed Rift grind now address blood web grind and when I say address I mean patch it not say we'll get to it someday.

We have no idea. Its being made worse with the next chapter release if they don't do anything before that point. If its 2 survivors 1 killer thats 6 new survivor perks. And 3 new killer ones.

Yeah it's absurd at this point. When I played legit every day all day it didn't matter much I could be prestige 2 day one but even then I still have to do all that leveling for each new survivor/killer I decide to play and in the end it leaves me to just not even playing them and I just stick to huntress after leveling the new killer. I'll just level her a bit get the perks and be done.

Yep. Has sucked. Will always suck. If your game depends on hooking players with the grind, it's a sign of a lack of confidence in their own game. Sad.
There is a lot of potential in this game. That's why we play it. That's why we post on the forum. We care. We want the game to be better. But there are also some things that need to be worked on. Lessen your dependence on player grind and make some changes to the game that will excite the current player base and will bring in new and old players that jumped ship a while ago.

In their surveys they do, I always put at the end to lessen the grind. For someone brand new getting into this game, it's an absolute nightmare and a huge time sink to start unlocking decent perks.
BHVR needs to look at the bigger picture and try to get new people to stay and play the game. You already have a dedicated fan base, but the grind for new players is a nightmare. Get rid of the perk tiers, they have no purpose anymore with so many available perks for both sides.

"Don't want to grind bloodpoints to unlock this perk? Just give us $1 and buy the perk now!!!!!"
This is clearly a joke but I wouldn't put it past BHVR to go the way of mobile games.

It'd be easy to decrease the grind. Just reduce bloodpoint costs across the board by 2000 points. You'd roughly cut the grind in half. Making things easier for new(er) players.

Yes, i agree. It is def tough for new players. This game is so grindy to a point i dont find p3-ing characters worth it as well. For survivors, it is slightly easier but for killers, u need alot of BPs especially if u are aiming to have the killers you want to play have the strong perks.

I agree. The grind is just mindblowing. I have 4300 hrs in this game and I'm tired of leveling up. I have this thing that I take all prestiges 3, and it kills me. Do something please!!! Devs said in the past (may 2020) about rewards to prestiges, about rank rewards (later), about Quentin's face, and the list goes on, but WHERE IS ALL THAT? At least give us an explanation, because when you tell and then forget about it, you don't need conversation. It seems like You tell because you have to tell, you don't care about feedback. You say you do but you don't.

We are having alot of new players coming in, wanting to try killer and survivor, its what 84 killer perks and 90 some survivor perks, with tiers.... its going to take them some 8 million + to get all the perks on one character. its well beyond time, people want to enjoy the game. not grind it to have fun.

Yeah, the community is toxic, but seriously look at yourselves, devs. I've never seen such toxic positive faces. It's like if you keep smiling and ignoring everything, all the game problems will disappear.

Its going to take them way more than that since they're going to have to grind to unlock teachables which is going to take 1mil+ per character.
