BHVR PLEASE MAKE PRESTIGE OPTIONAL AGAIN
The new forced prestige system doesn’t work for myself and many others.
I have all of my killers maxed out with every perk at tier 3 / purple, only thing I need to top up on is add ons.
Being forced to prestige, go back to level 1 and go through the mundane blood web over and over again, not only costs me a lot of time but a lot of bloodpoints too, plus the majority of time I don’t find the add on that I’m looking for.
I stream DBD full time and this unnecessary change causes me endless problems on stream.
Please can you just revert it back to being optional?

I think BHVR's plan is to increase rare items early in the bloodweb to compensate, or at least I recall reading that.
I hope so, because I sure don't need more yellow and brown add ons.

The killer add on grind is brutal atm. No BBQ bp bonus on top of forced prestige. It feels so much worse than it did before.

That would help a little but it’s not what some of us want, I have no desire to sit clicking a few items and watching the pointless animation. I just want it optional again.

It feels a lot worse because it is!!! I’m not even sure if it will help out newer players as they suggested. Well if they don’t change it it will be optional…once I hit prestige 100 😂

Making Prestige Optional would kinda destroy the entire new system they just implemented.
Maybe what they should do is each level of Prestige, the bloodwebs start getting bigger, sooner. So instead of waiting until level 40 for 2 perks per web, it's 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and then once you hit Prestige level 9 every bloodweb is the size of a level 50 bloodweb.

I can't complain about the changes overall, since the patch essentially finished my quest to get all perks on all characters, which is where I really felt the grind.
I do think that once you prestige the first time, the rare items should show up the same at level 1 as level 50, if you're going to make prestiging mandatory.

How exactly would it destroy it? Having it optional doesn’t make one bit of difference IMHO.
Player 1. Needs perks and add ons = uses new system
Player 2. Wants to show off their high prestige = uses new system
Player 3. Doesn’t care about prestige / only wants add ons / wants to save time = uses old system
bigger blood webs would help a little but more of band aid…real solution rework the blood web all together!

- As an indication of how much you've invested in a killer. It wouldn't work if you could just ignore it.
- Players shouldn't have to choose between 'unlocking perks on other characters' and getting add-ons. And while not as important because it's not affecting gameplay, they also shouldn't really have to choose between bloody outfits/perk charms and add-ons either.

100% agree. I am way less motivated to play than I used to be due to getting far fewer BP per match than I used to. To make it even worse, matches are taking longer as well.

So unpopular opinion I guess but I don't see an issue with the new system. I think in addition to everything is not running the strongest add ons every time. Like Pink and Purple stuff isn't supposed to be in every game and should be more rare as their names suggest.
2 -
God, this. It feels like I'm getting nowhere compared to what I used to rake in. I miss BBQ like an addict misses their fix.

because more rare means more expensive, and when your "economy" is centered around a twisted form of rng gatcha pulls, it creates a massive variance in value for literally every possible node on the web.
1 -
Agreed, it was way too easy to stockpile all the best stuff before. Although some of the rarest add-ons are kinda trash anyway.
0 -
When they make the rarities the same as the level 50 blood web there will be zero reason to have Prestige be optional. It will take you exactly as many nodes to get an Ultra Rare you're after, for example, whether you do it at level 1 or level 49.

Would be nice if they added a system to at least sell off the items/offerings/add-ons you don't want and never use anyway. At least that way you'd have a bit more BP to spend.
THIS!!! Even some of the green add-ons have become rare.
1 -
But rare items are more likely to appear on the later levels. Like one purple add on is worth much more than 2 brown add ons.

The Bloodweb starting at tier 1 after Prestiging is an issue.
I just went like 20 Bloodwebs without accepting the final perk. I didn't want the perk at tier 2, I certainly don't want it at tier 3. And it was great, knowing exactly what the Entity would consume first because of that one perk being unclaimed let me manipulate Bloodwebs in an efficient manner. Now I'm at Prestige 2 tier 1 and I have to accept the final perk to continue on. So far, I've decided to just not continue putting Bloodpoints into the killer Sucks. At some point that'll happen with all my killers, and I'll be at a roadblock where I just can't put BP into any of them anymore.
The way this whole thing is set up takes away player choices and I hate it. I can't keep this one perk forever at tier 1 the way I did with the old prestige system. I can't choose whether or not to prestige. I can't stick with level 50 Bloodwebs. And I can't choose to keep my prestige levels private from others.

and then you have to pay another 20k to get dumped back down to only brown and yellow addons again. Out of every 50 webs, your chances go from near zero to low, then you pay a mandatory tax to put them back down to near zero and repeat.
By constrast, the old system you just got up to p350 and you not only had a realistic chance to see one each web, but the odds didn't keep dropping and climbing back up. It was a more fixed rarity, not a variable one.

You're stuck on a Make Your Choice roadblock too eh?

Thanks for taking the time to move this thread to feedback and suggestions, it will suffer a slow and agonizing death. I guess some things never change on here 😂

It took a full 50 blood webs for me to get 3 iridescent addons for a killer. That's around 1.5 million. For THREE iridescent addons.
This new system is REALLY not very well thought-out.
Unsurprisingly.

It’s beyond a joke and the forced prestige should have never happened. I’m only looking for some green add ons and that alone is proving really tricky.
Its a shame this post was relocated to feedback and suggestions which anyone on the forum barely uses 😭

I'm just posting in support of the op. Nothing else to say.

I appreciate the support, I don’t feel like my suggestion is too much to ask for. Shame this post will soon lose all visibility.
