Legacy players

TLDR; Id really like it if players who even just got to level 50 before Nov 2016 would get legacy skins. As there was a significant loss of progress when you prestiged back in those days.

Back when dead by daylight first released on steam with only the trapper and then later wraith and hillbilly there was significant grind to get up to max level. The rare addons being essential during this time because of how much of an advantage survivors had and the loss of perks made this a very scary option at the time dissuading people from starting all over again. These legacy players are rare enough, not to downplay the effort of those that did prestige at this time. But I think its fair enough that looking through who got to level 50 during that time should be enough to give legacy players these skins because we missed the opportunity for very viable reasons.

I will remind some newer players that are reading this that just prestiging once would take about 7 million BP back then and there were no cakes or party streamers. It would take about 2 weeks of playing excessively to even get one and once you did you lost EVERYTHING.

    The developers have said repeatedly over the years they aren't giving the skins, nor will they give the skins back to anyone that lost them. Back then, the developers told you to backup your own data in the case it got wiped. If it got wiped without a backup they made it a you issue. And when players lost their legacy, no compensation was awarded.

    Darn. It just really sucks. I hope we can at least get some consolation at some point, like in 2026 during the 10th year anniversary a skin to anyone who owned the game since launch of something like that.
