What do you want from Prestige?

I think by now most people know that Prestige is not worth at all.

So I want to ask what you think would Prestige worthwhile.

For starters, I would like the blood effect to be applies to any outfit you have instead of just the default one. I think this is possible because it would similar to the effect of being contaminated.

    500k Bloodpoints or 1000-2000 Iridescent Shards (not both)

    Anything as long as it stays cosmetic. With grind as it is I don't want to be forced to p3 for benefits.

    The ability to spawn in the basement as killer, as well as bloody clothes

    Also it's definitely worth it on many characters, looking more deranged is a good thing in a horror game

    I think an even better benefit could be a passive blood point increase for each survivor and killer prestiged.

    10% bonus bloodpoints per prestige when using that character.

    If they reduce the grind it would not surprise me if they do this

    Just make the cosmetics a passive reward after every X number of levels rather than resetting your inventory.

    No one said you have to prestige, if you dont feel its worth it then dont do it lol

    Will never get those complains xD

    Its worth it for survivor and killer all depends on if their ur addons are worth the trade off as some killers you rather have their yellow and browns. Sure it takes a lot more time to lvl a char up but at least once you hit P3 your done and dont have to worry about it any longer.

    All perks starting out at tier 3 on the bloodweb (p3). Having to spend a few billion bp just to get every perk at p3 is dumb. I do like them as a cosmetic in most regards. It makes a lot of killers look intimidating but sometimes its goofy or unnoticable. So consistent quality would be nice too.

    In general I'd like to see more free cosmetics, like the ones in the halloween event. Ones that aren't recolors or poorly made.

    I think its not that it's a choice or not. It's that it's a dumb choice even for a decent full cosmetic. There's no real reason to prestige even though its a "choice" so some reward at least would give prestiging some value besides being mostly cosmetic. Like people have said 10% more bp per prestige. Considering I've already burned 2 million+ bp to get to 3 id say that's a decent tradeoff. Sure it's a choice but it's not a very popular one...like at all.

    Perk tiers exclusive to your prestige level. I.e p3 only gives t3 perks. Still a long a*" grind if you wanted to get all characters with all unlockables with that system.

    1. We shouldn't have to lose our entire inventory.
    2. If they insist on wiping our inventory/perks, and we grind to do it 3 times, at the very least remove trash brown items from our blood webs. For example, if someone is full prestige, do we really need "instructions" as an add on on a tool box so we don't get skill checks for all of 5 seconds?

    What needs to be fixed is the grind after level 50. It takes more bloodpoints to all perk a character than it is to prestige 3 them.

    I'm fine with how prestige is now and don't need anything else from it. This coming from someone who has p3 every character.

  • CheeseAnton
    CheeseAnton Member Posts: 882

    10% off of nodes on the bloodweb for each prestige level (with P3 giving 30% off).

    This is literally all I want, it's not astronomically huge to where it feels like a necessity to prestige, but it's a nice bonus and makes going back to level 50 to prestige easier. It also makes getting bunch of items and add-ons for your favorite killers and survivors cheaper, and to be honest I just want to be able to get more Med-kit and Med-kit add-ons on my P3 Bill and Ace so if leveling up is cheaper for them then yay.

  • AnnoyingNarrator
    AnnoyingNarrator Member Posts: 222

    If they are going to wipe everything we have, I think they should at least give some sort of refund.

    Everyone asking for their inventory or perks not to be reset has never seen a prestige system before. Prestiging is prestiging is prestigious.

    The only idea I’ve seen that makes sense is adding more bloody outfits to characters. Even then maybe it should probably be limited to Legendary and Iridescent outfits. The ones that change the character.

    BP passive bonus increase per P-level would be nice.

    I get where you are coming from, however... many ppl are complainaing heavily (I agree there aswell) about the grind beeing WAY to big, especially for newer players. With this change you indirectly increase the grind even further, also prestige has been always in most other games a "optional choice for pure cosmetics" look at call of duty for example, you get even way less in cod, there you just get a icon next to your name, in dbd you get atleast a full outfit which looks on many characters pretty good.

    Although BHVR could take over the Cod prestige mechanic, with that you get a permenant unlock token when you prestige, you can choose 1 gun/equipment to take it with you in your next prestige but you still lose everything else. Which means in dbd's case you could choose 1 perk to take it with you on lvl 3 and on the second prestige you still keep it cuz its permenantly, so on p2 you can now choose a second perk to take it with you. Although again I dont see any big issue with prestige, there are many other things in dbd that needs the attention of the devs imo.

    The outfits are fine enough reward. I just don't want to lose all my perks, items, add-ons, and offerings in the process.

    I agree with the blood stains for all Outfits. Should be easy enough to do with an alpha channel overlay and a toggle to activate/deactivate the stains for head/body/lege. It's a nice Little gimmicky thing - not at all necessary but cool to have

    If I manage to prestige 3 any character, I think I deserve to have every teachable perk I unlocked directly at tier 3.

  • XerraFox
    XerraFox Member Posts: 157

    Like mentioned before.. Either an appreciable BP bonus or the perks equal to the prestige lvl

  • MyNamePete
    MyNamePete Member Posts: 1,053

    Well prestiging already gives non-cosmetic benefits. It gives a slightly higher chance of getting higher tier stuff in your bloodweb.

  • Shaped
    Shaped Member Posts: 5,901

    Not noticeable for me to mind tho. Never noticed any difference between my prestiged and non prestiged characters.

    Might as well be an urban legend. I wouldn't mind change like that yeah.

    I dont know the exact percentages of the increases but i personally notice a lot more purples in my bloodwebs than normal even on prestige 1 and 2. The only thing id want from prestige is increases these percentages but also making it so commons you sometimes want appear often aswell.

    To be fair they’re not saying they do it, they’re saying it would be cool if there was an interesting reason to do it at all aside from wanting the bloody costumes.

    Personally I Prestige just for the heck of it to force myself to play with whatever perks I get so I don’t just constantly subconsciously keep using the same combos all the time. Plus the bleeding weapons are nice. But I’m definitely in the minority, I think most players who realize there’s no tangible benefit to it just don’t bother which makes having the system in the game feel like a wasted potential.

    P.S. Along those lines it would be cool if Devotion levels did something too. I never really got the point of why they’re in the game.

    A significant reduction in the amount of grinding that needs to be done.

  • JosephN
    JosephN Member Posts: 38

    Lots of people have come up different awesome ideas. The idea I have is on top of the cosmetics, for each prestige of level, we would get that many free items on the blood web. So if prestige 1, the first item on each blood web is free, prestige 2 -> 2 free items per web, and for prestige 3 the first 3 items in each blood web would be free. This would save a considerable amount of blood points over many webs, but wouldn't feel like a crazy blood point giveaway.

  • Chordyceps

    A permanent boost to BP gained with that killer could be pretty cool. Nothing too crazy, like maybe a permanent 20% boost or something.

  • Valik
    Valik Member Posts: 1,294

    I want to see a banner (I want banners in the game) I want there to be more options to rank up my perks for faster grinds, and I want there to be BP cost reductions.

    If at max Prestige I could reliably get 2-4 perks per web at half BP cost, it would be well worth the grind in the long run.
