What do y’all think about this? (Perk and Prestige related)
So I’m just going to get straight to the point:
What if we added an additional tier to perks called Prestige Perks (has a skull instead of a tally mark). This tier would replace the tier three version on the blood web when unlocked and only be available to the characters the perk belongs to. For example, Botany Knowledge as a Prestige Perk can only be used on Claudette. Prestige perks are unlocked by prestiging your character and one level of prestige unlocks one of the three prestige perks. These higher tier perks will obviously be better than the tier three version. Like instead of 33% it is now 44% or something similar. This will make characters more unique and give killers more information about the play style or the intended play styles based on the character used and their level of prestige. It will also apply to killers sort of pressuring them to use the killer’s teachables instead of another’s. Since depending on the perk and the killer, it might be better to use that instead. They could also change the perk in a different way, such as increasing the stun time of head on or decreasing the radius which a survivor is not revealed for barbecue and chili. What do you guys think about this idea?

That sounds really cool but I am a bit scared of the thought of some of the perks having a possible buff. But this would give you a reason to play as one of the larger or louder characters other than cosmetics
I suggested something similar to this a long time ago. Basically saying that perks work better on the survivor they came with, as opposed to them being the same across all survivors. This would allow more thought and potentially bring in more range in the characters you see Or you'll just see a bunch of Lauries and Davids because a lot of survivors can't live without their ds and deadhard
Yeah that’s true but then the killer will know that survivor will have those kinds of perks. Plus, that also be the funny to expect decisive or dead hard but instead get a unbreakable or sprint burst. Even if it isn’t the most optimal version of the perks.
I can see it, so it will need some balancing and adjustments so that the right part of the perk is buffed to make it worth the trouble but not too much that it’s overwhelming. PTB might need some heavy work for this idea if it were to happen.
Also there would be a reason to prestiege. I've played for a while on the same character and just never saw a need but this would change that.
No. Prestige has been too worthless for too long to screw over everyone (the majority) who hasn't prestiged.
The Devs are thinking about prestige Rewards, but you can expect those to be really minor things, because there are players who put 1000s of hours into the game without every prestiging and a really good reward would totally make those players upset. So something like better Perks should not be the case, this would be too much of a reward for players who did not bother prestiging, since there was nothing special for it (if you dont want the cosmetics) for years.
