Prestige Thread #1001

So can we talk about how I can't see any information about the killer but they can view my profile, see my item, and view my prestige?


I love dicerolling my way with randoms into a lobby shopping P100 content creator who calls everyone bad and slugs the entire game.


Anon-mode should hide prestige as well tbh, or survivors should be able to see the profile and prestige of the killer.

    This is such a sensible change and it still hasn't happened for whatever reason. Although I think they did mention the prestige part in the reddit Q&A.

    Should at least have the option to hide in lobbies, as there are people who target p100s and deliberately try to kill them off early.

    Less inclined to hide it in post game, as it's kinda anti social... one of those innocent until proven guilty things. Most people aren't jerks, and are just happy to see how they measure up vs. Experienced players...

    Hoooooooowever.... p100s do tend to get harassed at times in post game lobbies by the Sweaty Keyboard Gollums of the world... so can see why the option should be there.

    I always thought they’d remove profile spying when the game came out on console and we got crossplay but somehow it stayed in the game.

    And yes, prestige should only show up in the postgame screen.

    I definitely think it does need be an option to hide it, or make it equal. You don't have to show the killer just the prestige and profile name. Or do like smite used to and hide it until your loading in and have player cards.

    They removed ranks because of the toxicity it caused, yet added prestige to lobbys which arguably made lobby dodging worse

    I agree that neither the killer, nor indeed fellow survivors, should be able to view your item or prestige. It's also strange that - at the very least - a player should be able to choose what can and cannot be seen by the killer.

    The item bit is fine to view, because it is a 1v4 and, although the killer can view them, this does not stop survivors from doing last second switches.

    So I really do not understand why it's so complicated to simply remove the ability to remove the Prestige level in the opening lobby. It really cannot be that hard to do.

    Ideally prestige and profile names should be hidden on both sides until post game. I think it's fine killers get to see items though

    Your prestige means nothing to the 9/10 killers you go against. The goal of most tryhard killers is to kill one survivor as fast as possible. If prestige meant anything it would be the killer tunneling out the lowest prestige survivor.

    I wish you were right so bad.


    But whenever I attempt to play my David it takes 8 minutes to get into a game due to dodges.


    And the games I do get into are always Nurse and Blight. Not worth it.

    Maybe you should look up what prestige means.


    i agree that we should be able to hide it if we want tho.
