Perks and tiers and tiers and perks

I've noticed a growing sentiment that all perks should be tier 3 by default due to the amount of characters and perks growing exponentially. This harms the new player experience, most people fold once they realize how much hours (and potentially currency) they have to put into the game in order to feel the slightest increase in efficiency.

Or let's say someone wants to use Ada because she is their fav RE character and one of the only reasons they started playing. But they looked up the best survivor builds and realize they have to grind prestige for 4 other characters just to get the build they want on Ada. Putting bloodpoints into character they'll never play just to use their perks on Ada. Kind of disheartening, I've experienced it myself.

One could argue- blah blah blah this and that and the other; yea, sure. But what do you think?

    There’s no reason not to remove perk tiers. The grind will still be a handful without them, but way better than it is now.

    Personally, I don't hate it too much. In order to get the perk at full potential for all killers/survivors, you have to put time into them by playing them, I like it, allows me to learn the abilities of all the killers and whatnot. OR, you can just play someone else and use the bloodpoints gained into the survivor/killer you want in order to get the perk. But… as previously said, I kinda like it, UNPOPULAR OPINION.

    I feel like the perk tiers just make it too tedious to get them on all characters. Having to P3 a character I don't even use for their perks to be maxed is just kind of dumb to be honest. I say just make me prestige them once to get their perks available

    I agree. I remember when the cenobite came out I wanted to min max his build potential and when I saw I had to get hoarder either from the shrine (the shrine is garbage) or p3 twins I remember thinking. - "Who in their right mind would ever waste bp on the twins?"

    It’s strange that no one noted this, but level 1 of the perk also reduces the risk of a bug, since it’s easier to work with 1 characteristic than with 3

    Very good point, I also wonder how hard it would be for BHVr to rework the perk system in that way… It does seem kind of raw to propose BHVr does away with something that's been a unique aspect of the game for it's entire lifespan. Perhaps the removal of tiers has potential to create bugs as well…

    Perk tiers literally only exist to inflate the grind.
    It was stupid back when the game first launched and there were only like 20-something perks per side, and now that there are 120+ perks per side it's even stupider.
    Get rid of perk tiers forever.

    reduce the grinding, make them just a single tier
