New Void Skins Should Be A 100 Prestige Reward Or Something like It

edited October 2023 in Feedback and Suggestions

I’ve seen this discussion on here and all over X(Twitter). So anyway I also think these should of been a reward for those who reach 100. I’ve haven’t gotten to 100 prestige on any of my characters yet. But only cause I don’t have the time and don’t play as much.

To start off is that I don’t see why we can’t have a reward for reaching to 100. I mean I feel it make reaching that milestone more worthwhile. Since it shows how you loved and are dedicated to the game. I mean I get Behavior needs to make money cause they are company. But I just also feel it would been nice to have as well to have something like a void skin or something.

    I’d be happy with something as little as a charm to be honest, although a full cosmetic would be great.

    It just feels kind of a slap in the face that BHVR isn’t willing to give us P100 players anything because they claim they don’t want to promote FOMO, but are happy to pump out hundreds of dollars worth of time-limited cosmetics.

    Like surely the players who’ve put the most time and effort (and likely money over the years) deserve at least a little reward.

    I fully agree FOMO sucks and I also wish they did fully reward the most dedicated players. While it of would of been nice to have a full outfit for getting 100. But like you said a really nice charm would of been cool too.

    Why do you think Prestige suddenly needs an extra reward besides the P100 badge? The badge is all that was advertised, why should bHVR fish out 72 awesome cosmetics for FREE no less just because you play this game more than is needed=?

    The P100 badge is completely meaningless considering you’re the only one who can see it now. It’s also pretty ugly to be honest.


    why should bHVR fish out 72 awesome cosmetics for FREE

    Because we’ve dedicated more time and effort than anyone else. 🤷‍♂️

    It only makes sense to reward players for their dedication and longevity, otherwise people eventually get bored and drop the game.

    It’s not really up to you to determine how much people should play the game.

    If you think P100 badge meaningless and ugly. Why did you go to P100 then? Like if it was possible to go to P1000 would you do it? and P10 000?

    Because we’ve dedicated more time and effort than anyone else. 🤷‍♂️

    People who play as long as we have probably enjoy the game to some degree, You get blood points for your efforts, you get shards for your efforts as well. So you ARE rewarded 100%, but for dedication: I have probably dedicated more time to this game than you, but I have no P100 character. Why should dedication only be counted by Prestige?

    It’s not really up to you to determine how much people should play the game.

    bHVR already have designed the game to have meaningful unlocks, it depends on what you think is meaningful or not. You have already told me you think the P100 badge meaningless and ugly. I'm perfectly right to question that when you ask for 72 cosmetics for free for Prestige, it has nothing to do with me setting a time for play, you play as long as you want.

    These limited time event skins in the shop that they started with as of the anniversary with those Feng & Ghostface skins they had at the time is really disgusting & have gotten out of hand. It shows how greedy BHVR has gotten. Look at the lackluster crap we're getting in the Rift---just a bunch of crappy recolors for the most part of stuff we already got in previous rifts. I already have the pirate outfit for Twins that I always use, why do I need a different colored version of it? The only effort they put in anymore are in the limited time and shop-only skins. They don't even bother adding them as Prime rewards anymore and if we missed any Prime rewards outfits like the May 2022 Meg one I wanted so badly, we're out of luck instead of being given a choice between the current Prime Reward or a past Prime reward as it would be fair. I'd gladly forfeit the 400k bloodpoints for that May 2022 one.

    I won't be getting any of the limited time stuff. Really BHVR, you better stop with this because this is reminiscent of the crap Texas Chainsaw Massacre is doing with their DLC that players of that game also don't like. Maybe it's even worse than the TCM DLC when you consider how much someone who wanted to get all those Halloween outfits would have to spend to get them before they disappear forever.

    Let's take a look:

    I added up only the new stuff that got added with Yun Jin's, Haddie's, David's, Feng's, Jake's & Claudette's outfits and it adds up to 6960 cells which is roughly $70 in cash!!!!! That's just ridiculous & inexcusable. These events were once done for fun & to attract players and now BHVR is so greedy that they use them to cash out as much as possible and it's not cool. At least if all these cosmetics are added, keep them in the shop year round. You're only going to contribute to the game's early demise BHVR, and then see how much money you'll get. Go back to the only event cosmetics being released are ones that can be won/earned in the event itself and nothing else.

    I can understand them not doing complete cosmetics as P100 Rewards because they won't get money for them.

    But I would like to get the new Void effect you get when entering it as P100 reward. Just the effect that you can equip in addition to your normal cosmetics. It already exists for this event, so it should not be so much work to implement as reward.

    If you don't know which effect I mean, it's this one:

    I know everyone thinks differently about being rewarded and that’s okay. But I also think it would be nice to have other rewards. Sometimes having badges is okay. It’s just that with all the time and money some put into it be nice to get something more than just a badge from it is all.

    I think void-touched skins would probably be too much as a P100 reward. BHVR themselves have acknowledged that they don't want to push anyone into undertaking that grind if that player doesn't already want to, because it's a long and often frustrating/unfun kind of grind, and I think a lot more players would absolutely think "I want that skin, I'm going to get this character to P100" if something that sick was behind the grind.

    That being said, some unique charm with a void theme would be kinda cool, and appropriate for the Entity having milked them of everything they have. Not sure exactly what it would look like, maybe some perk-esque simplified rendition of the character with the appropriate colours and such?

    Few people care about charms at all, so the amount of people who'll think "I want that charm, so I will grind for P100" is probably pretty low. Avoids the scenario BHVR want to avoid, but rewards the people who do undertake that grind with a little something.

    Sure, it would be nice and cool but I don't see why Prestige should count for that. I played since 2016 what should I get?

    I just think all these arguments get out of hand, I see loads of people who suddenly decided that when they pay for a cosmetic its not enough to get what they pay for, but you want an extra reward for how much you play. Same thing with playtime, you get blood points and shards, but you want an extra reward even more for the time you spend.

    Its fine if you just think extra playtime rewards would be cool, suggest whatever you want, but most of the time I see people falsely complaining about bHVR don't care and that they are hypocritical. The dialogue is on a whole other level everywhere else which is why I asked the question before OnryoTapeRentals replied.

    This is honestly the best idea yet.

    Give P100 characters a toggle for a out of Rift-Rift Effect.

    1.Should be easy to Implement. 2. Technology already exists. 3. Looks cool.

    But would it satisfy the crowds? No clue.

    @LapisInfernalis Could you make a new Discussion Suggesting that idea fully? its definitely something idd stand behind.

    If you think P100 badge meaningless and ugly. Why did you go to P100 then?

    I didn't intentionally set out to get to P100, it happened because I play a lot. I spend my Bloodpoints on the character I earn them with. Because I play Onryō the most, I spend the bulk of my Bloodpoints on her. And naturally, she eventually reached P100.


    Like if it was possible to go to P1000 would you do it? and P10 000?

    Eventually, for the same reason as above.


    I have probably dedicated more time to this game than you

    Okay.


    Why should dedication only be counted by Prestige?

    Nobody said it had to be.


    I'm perfectly right to question that when you ask for 72 cosmetics for free for Prestige

    I'd be happy with a charm or some other relatively low resource-intensive reward.

    They already have the groundwork for applying effects to all characters regardless of the cosmetics they're wearing. Like the blue splashes survivors get when infected with the T-virus, glowing blue cracks characters get while in the void, orange embers that characters emitted while interacting with the Chinese New Year event etc. They could easy take one of those systems, recolour it, and call it a day. It doesn't need to be 72 fully fledged cosmetics

  • OnryosTapeRentals
    OnryosTapeRentals Member Posts: 1,227

    Completely agree!

    The groundwork already exists, so it's not like it would be too demanding to implement.

  • Emeal
    Emeal Member Posts: 5,446

    You say nobody is saying the reward should be Prestige or that the reward does not need to be 72 Cosmetics.

    While you may be happy with a Charm, its not what most others are saying, I have been following the conversation on Twitter and Youtube. Its pretty clear they want fully fledged cosmetics. Then the question I asked does not apply to you.

    But I see we both agree on an effect toggle as a compromise to the controversy, that's good, we should work to persuade bHVR of it.

    I meant that nobody is saying Prestige is the only way BHVR could or should reward long-time players. It's certainly the most talked about though.


    Its pretty clear they want fully fledged cosmetics.

    There's definitely a lot of people who do want this yeah. Personally, I think it's a little unreasonable to expect BHVR to make 72 individual cosmetics for a reward most will never see.


    I see we both agree on an effect toggle as a compromise to the controversy

    It's the most sensible option IMO. They should take the void effect, and make it red or iridescent or something. I think that would please most people.

    The only problem I forsee with a p100 cosmetic reward, is I am a bug supporter of hiding ranks in lobbies, as it stops the lobby shopping, stops the p100 bullying, improves the Killer's mental, etc etc.

    That gets totally shot in the foot if you have a p100 cosmetic.

    That said... if that weren't a factor... having characters get this kind of effect, but in entity orange would be awesome imo...

  • Ariel_Starshine
    Ariel_Starshine Member Posts: 937

    Agreed, and it should be for lisenced characters as well as legendary ones too.

    I get why there is issues with the lisenced characters but it still makes me a sad panda.

  • LapisInfernalis
    LapisInfernalis Member Posts: 4,225

    Then using that is your own choice. I remember past times where killers instantly dodged once a legacy character appeared. This is also one of the reasons why survivors do last second "toxic switches" (similar with flashlights).

    I would be completely in favor of a P100 reward (the void effect, not complete cosmetics) you can use with your favourite skins and toggle it on or off.

    You could also make it that the effect only appears in the match and not in the lobby to counter shopping.

  • LapisInfernalis
    LapisInfernalis Member Posts: 4,225

    Since there are bloody cosmetics too I think a simple effect is fine.

  • UndeddJester
    UndeddJester Member Posts: 3,709

    I was thinking of something like that aye, a match and end game screen only effect would be neat.

    Totalyl agree, a skin indepedant customisation slot for things like eyes, bloody skin, and of course this would be awesome.

  • LapisInfernalis
    LapisInfernalis Member Posts: 4,225

    I am not talking about an end game screen effect, I am talking about an effect which is only visible during the match and after to prevent lobby dodging.

    An effect you would only see in the after game lobby would be lame, as only your own team can see those and the killer effect would only be visible for themselves. People don't want something "just for them" that nobody sees, they want something to show off. It's the same why some people want the prestiges to be seen, regardless of the fact that many P100 get harrassed in-game for that.

    This is why I said that the effect must only apply during the actual match, so that killers don't lobby dodge in the first place.
