More info on prestige patch pls

Nah, the bloody clothes won´t disappear. They specifically said, that they want to avoid a situation which creates some kind of legacy skins again. So you would get the bloody clothes even after they reworked the prestige system.

My only "concern" (I'm not TOO worried about it LOL) is while I understand they don't want to tell us upfront what the reward will be, I'd at least hope IF it were going to be something like in-game currency, they would at least say that. While, yes, an exclusive cosmetic would be cool, I understand A) that's not what it's going to be, and B) some reasons why they're avoiding cosmetic rewards altogether.

But for a pre/post lobby banner, or maybe even a cool animation you can now do with those P3 characters (like the pointing or "come here" animation, but adding a little goofy 3rd animation for P3 characters if done before the change), I'd still think grinding until the change is well worth it, to me at least with characters I don't have discontinued event items. I mostly have been collecting those on my characters I already have p3'd anyway so as not to lose them. P.S. I don't think it will be something like a bonus animation, but something that is still a possibility, even if not likely.

But if it were to be in-game currency, I know a lot of people won't feel its worth it, me included, so I'd hope we get that clarified sooner than later. Now Mandy stated it won't be "legacy 2.0" and wanted to be clear on it to manage high expectations, but I'd argue that the possibility of in-game currency as the reward, if it's not, would be managing expectations on the other side of the spectrum. Some people just assume it will be shards and are saying they're not P3'ing anymore characters because its not worth it. And I know there are people grinding assuming it's not shards or something and will be bummed if it is (life's a gamble tho, what can ya do XD).

I personally don't think its in-game currency as I've seen them use words like "distinct" and "unique" which in-game currency isn't really either. I wouldn't see any reason for them to have to be secretive about it really. My money (hopefully not in-game currency tho right? LOL) is on an exclusive pre/post lobby banner/icon for your P3'd characters.

Currently you get the default clothes covered in blood. For each prestige lvl one item and the a slightly increased chance for better items in tthe bloodweb. But the chance is really low. The disadvantage ist that your character becomes lvl 1 again and loses all perks and addons. That's how it works now.

If its not unique cosmetics as they said, idk what the "unique" reward would be. And I don't care if its not cosmetics tbh.

Honestly, I say in your case, prestiging characters to P3 is actually worth it regardless of what the reward will be, at least for 1 or 2 survivors you want the reward for. The rest, you could wait until after the change so you don't lose progress on the items. You likely don't have any items/offerings in your inventory from events you can't get any more so you have nothing to lose there. Plus once the changes come into effect, every P3 character you have will pay off. Say you get Meg up to P3. Then her 3 perks will be automatically put on all your other characters as well once the change happens later this summer. If you're going to P3 Meg for the sole purpose of getting the reward, just make sure you have enough perks you like to use on at least one other character. You obviously don't need every perk, just enough to have some decent ones to play around with and not be stuck with 10 lousy tier 1 & 2 perks LOL. Because as of now, before the changes take place, each time you prestige a character, it gets rid of your perks/items and you have to start from scratch each level you prestige. This won't be the case after the change tho which is nice. After the change, you prestige a character, you keep your perks/items. Hope this helps. Also sorry it was lengthy, I'm not too sure about what you already do and don't understand about the current prestige system.

Exactly, Meg is my main so I have a special interest in P3 her. I will prestige the rest of the characters with the new system.

If you havent got anywhere near max perks on a character, it's a no brainer. P3ing them will not only get you the reward but will also give you that characters perks on every other survivor once the progression update drops.

Hi Mandy. - As always thank you for keeping an eye on threads in the forums. - Would it be possible to say how much time there will be - roughly - between the inormation being released and the changes going live? I think a lot of people feel antsy because it says summer and it kinda already is summer 🙈

Hopefully on Late June/early July Dev Update segment. I love reading those as it gives me hype and excitement. As for massive update, I figure it will be mix with The Twin, Perk and other QoL changes. SPECULATIONS, EXITEMENT, REEEE! xD

For question 1, having put in the blood points but never prestiging won't get you the distinct reward. They are doing a "catchup" mechanic meaning that when the new system rolls out, those characters that you put a lot of time and bp even tho you didn't prestige will be prestiged up (by how much IDK, depends on how many perks and bloodpoints spent). So they'll level up prestige levels but won't get the distinct reward since they would have to be P3 by the time the new system goes live. As for the "why that is" I don't know. My guess is while you did put in the time and bp, those that actually prestiged actually had to start over each level where as those who didn't prestige to not waste bp, while fine, shoudln't get the same reward as those that did. Just a guess as to the reason, I'm not telling you what's what, or implying you should have prestiged or anything like that.

For question 2, using your example with Ghostface, so if you have all his perks, but don't actually have Ghostface, those perks will have to be unlocked each killer's bloodweb like normal. If you get a new killer, same deal for those ghostface perks. For those perks to be unlocked automatically for other killers you'd have to buy ghostface, and for each prestige level, that tier version of his perks would be unlocked automatically. So you prestige ghosty to lvl 1, everyone now has his base perks at tier 1. Prestige him to 2, everyone now has those perks at tier 2, ect.

For the second part of question two, you're right. General perks, or perks you get in the shrine who's killer you don't have prestiged at any level would still be the same grind. But... those perks come up faster as there will be less perks for them to compete with as other perks now get unlocked for everyone automatically when you prestige that killer. So overall the grind is reduced a bunch.

One thing I want to know is what about perks from the Stranger Things chapter? They're generic perks now but I'm hoping those that had p3 those characters will automatically get those perks on the other characters instead of having to go through bloodwebs.

It really doesn't need to be.

I hope you're wrong about the Shrine perks because that's a raw deal given my time and Iri Shard investments. They're gonna do what they're gonna do but it would be decent of them to consider aspects like time and currency investments (Shards, Cells, AND Bloodpoints) when they hand out the rewards. Would've been nice of them to have more details when they announced because I really hate the FOMO effect this is having on me. Almost kind of hoping the "distinct reward" is lame so I don't feel bad about missing it.

Great news for me then. Now all I need are cakes during anniversary and I'll prestige the whole roster easy peasy. I'll actually come back with a list of a few survs and how expensive it was to prestige them, but it seems for now that it's a few thousand below 1 400 000 BP to go from 1 to 50 if you go purely for the cheapest webs.

I have seen Mandy mentioning that P3-1 should be enough!
