pls

That's not in the hands of the devs, they need to get permission from the licence holder. But since Freddy has the normal prestige cosmetics it might be quite easy to get permission. It's basically just the blood but a different texture.
Idk if legacy would be the right thing. Something different would be more interesting imo.
1 -
Well then the question becomes: Do they not mind if they do stuff like that to their cosmetics, or do they like blood on Nightmare cause it fits him?
I'm not sure if glowy patches is fitting...

Why? Getting P3 on freddy isn't a chore, you could 3 Blink nurse all the points you needed to max him????
6 -
Am I wrong or could you also do that with all other legacy skins? The difference being Nurse naturally had 3 blinks at base at that point.
The reason for legacy skins wasn't cause of the difficulty of getting bloodpoints, but because it took around 4 to 5 times as many bloodpoints to prestige.

Not before they restore everyone who lost their legacy via save file corruption.

I'm down for that. Old Freddy mains get to have something cool for learning how to play him correctly.
1 -
And as has been stated, so do people who just played any other killer and fed him the points. Bad idea's basis is bad.
3 -
Maybe combined with achievements having Freddy adept and all others related to him?

Why should they give legacy?
The only thing they could give him is like an unique glove or something for people that did prestige him... maybe.

Am I the only one against this? Honestly hate Freddy because of his lunge. ( don't hate me). But I think it's somewhat unfair because no other killer or survivor gets Legacy unless you were in the Alpha. This is just my opinion. If you have something to say, don't let it be hateful please.

Actually, now that I think about it, it would be freaking hilarious if they gave him a head cosmetic that did that nodding off thing that survivors do when they're dream transitioning.

Lmao Noodle Neck Freddy

I think it's more about dedication, not the chore in my opinion. I'm not trying to say they should add legacy to Freddy, but I'm trying to let you know what it's more about. 😁
I'm rather neutral about OP's idea.

It would be cool to have something that says you P3'd Freddy before he was reworked.
Idk if it could/needs to be Legacy Freddy.
A P3 but with even more blood would be cool if they won't do legacy.
2 -
I wouldn't mind this as an OG Freddy main, maybe not Legacy, but something else could be cool, like maybe a red and GREEN sweater
0 -
Should you get something? I mean, I guess, if you want it that bad. Should you get Legacy? never. Legacy was given due to the pure difficulty of prestiging at all, especially back then when there was less players, less content, and less of a reason not to.
0 -
Maybe people who prestige him to P3 before the rework should have a special effect for placing traps or when they're used.
0 -
Except the only reason legacy happened for the other characters was because it was a chore to level them before they changed bloodwebs.
0 -
That would be easier said than done, since Freddy is a licensed character and any new cosmetics for him need to be approved first. Beyond that, though, we wouldn't want to bring back legacy out of the blue like that. People who earned the original legacy had to put in a ton of work for it, meanwhile Freddy players would just have to own Freddy before a certain date. There's a bit of a mismatch there, and if anything, it would just be seen as a cheap way to boost sales.

Speaking of legacy, how hard is it to restore Legacy? You can add BPs to one's account, why can't you do the same with Legacy?
0 -
its been proven that the grind to get a character p3-50 all perks is actually a lot harder than the original legacy p3-50 all perks due to the amount of perks added to the game
0 -
"Proven" and yet totally irrelevant. A. BPs are ridiculously more easy to get nowadays B. P3-All Perks was never a standard for the original Legacy anyway.
0 -
You also get way more when you grind for all perks, so it's a bit silly to compare the two. The requirement for legacy was prestige 3, not all perks. But as far as that's concerned, bloodwebs used to be even larger and bloodpoints were much less plentiful. There were no +100% all bloodpoint category offerings, there was no BBQ, and there were far fewer scoring events in general.

Stop asking for Legacy. It ain't coming back.

There were things that were frustrating and annoying for players on both sides with old Freddy. While we dealt with that on the killer end, we also addressed the survivor side. We'd like to avoid bringing that back.
On top of that, this would be incredibly confusing for new players (and even some old players). It's important to be able to recognize which killer you're playing against in order to be able to play around their powers. Allowing them to change their entire base kit would make it impossible to tell what you're going up against. (See: The Demoman from TF2, for example.)
And beyond that, all of the other add-ons have changed, so they would not work with old Freddy.

Lol let's give each character legacy each time something changes about them. Where is Legion, doctor, hag legacy since they all got quite big changes for their powers. Then we can also give legacy to pallets since they were adjusted and Badham deserves legacy too since it's beiing reworked.
People just don't understand meaning of never coming back.

I see your point with the confusing part. @Peanits
However, since the code is probably in some form of older build/patch. Freddy could double roster and it would simply be a learning curve to the killer. Almost like when a killer comes out everyone dies. It is expected you make stupid mistakes on both sides. However, double roster would almost require very little effort in terms of making Freddy 2 killers one having one power one having the other.
Although, I can see the frustrations to both sides the old Freddy was both powerful with prolonged games or weak with quick ones. However, with that both sides in many cases were fine with playing the mechanics it was just rough cut.
I personally prefer newer Freddy mainly because of the alarm clocks design and dream pallets. However, the 'new players' mentality I do disagree with. Almost any game you pick up to play has mechanics you are unfamiliar with. Learning you have two types of Freddy is not something hard to pickup as you have the survivor tips when facing a new killer.
I also understand the Add-on issue, however, you could always double up so the double Freddy would have the same Add-ons just different functions.
I do look at design in games as best of both worlds in many cases. So I will say I am biased towards the side requesting old Freddy to be playable.
Similar to new players encountering a Legacy player due to rank reset. Personally, when I first picked up the game I decided to also get the Myers DLC... My first match as killer was a match against R1 players shortly after a rank reset. Which you wouldn't have thought the game would do that to begin with. Got totally destroyed. You learn and move on. It is similar to how some people say 'git gud' you learn to play the game not have it always bent over for free wins.

Badham needs legacy it is one of the most balanced map designs I have seen XD.

Im gonna miss OG Freddy. 😪

I mean, I feel that's kinda entitled because the same thing could be said for P3 Legionsafter the rework, or the P3 docs, and P3 Leatherfaces once they get their reworks. Once you learn how too use them they can be effective at high ranks, but it's not like it's a chore. I would much rather have a 10$ skin of Robert England Freddy or New Nightmare Freddy then some exclusive skin.
0 -
considering how 4/5s of the player base complained, there should be a cosmetic for Survivors who played through The Legion in his original form...
(to be clear, that was meant in jest)
0 -
@Peanits perhaps a specialized dream colored legacy kind of look? A silvery legacy? If not then give him a special effect when using the powers.
0 -
Ok but what about restoring Legacy for those that needed to put in that ton of work, such as myself?
0 -
I'm deinitely going to miss playing old Freddy (I'm playing him right now while I still can) but there's no debate that his power is bad for the game. I hope that we get to see a healthier re-imagining of it attached to a new killer in the future, or even parts of it divided across several killers, but I don't want it to remain as it is now.
0 -
Thats a horrible idea, not unless they also gave it to old legion players and old wraith players, but then there wouldnt be anything special about it.
Legacy was for people that put their time into prestiging as it took a very long time and for the people that played the game that early, plus the devs stated a while ago theyre having no more exclusives so can we please stop begging for legacy?
