#KILLING FLOOR 2 PRESTIGE CLASS FREE#

I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but it's a start. That will help remove a good chunk of speculation and focus suggestions on what to do from here.Īs for s5yn3t's bit, I've put in a good amount of time into Payday 2 and recall the Infamy tree. You could prestige a couple times to increase odds/number of drops, but Tripwire would obviously have to gate this somehow to not break the game economy.įirst off, thank you Kittenmittens for at least confirming that it will indeed mean a perk reset. Or they could prestige and once they get to level 25 they might get 2 drops or a higher rarity drop.

Someone could continue to play their perks at lvl 25 with no problems and get one free cosmetic every so often for being level 25. Essentially, making a class prestige would be a choice if it was done the way I am thinking. This would be based on perk prestige level and tied to each perk.

Prestige could increase the number of drops received or increase the rarity of the drop. If it was going to be cosmetic driven, I would like to see something like a constant xp requirement set at max perk level, and you can hit that amount of xp for a guaranteed cosmetic drop. I could see why Tripwire would want to avoid this kind of prestige system, even though I know personally I would get a lot of replay out of it. Something this big would require a big late-game rework for balancing with xp and grinding to consider (xp boosts could help alleviate this problem maybe?), and I don't think it could be accomplished without introducing another difficulty above HoE to preserve difficulty for high prestige players. This would mean at level 30 you would get the 5 extra levels of scaling as well as the level 5 skill you did not take, effectively raising max level to 50. To take it a step further, once another milestone is reached then whichever skill you didn't take would be acquired. This would give each perk an extra bit of scaling per prestige. If they are going to implement a prestige system, I would prefer it have some kind of in-game benefit but it could just be cosmetic/emote driven if done right.įor the in-game benefit, I think it would be cool to have a prestige class be given a raised level cap (+5 levels/prestige). I really want more incentive to play my maxed out perks rather than leveling my remaining perks, but it feels like somewhat like wasted time to do so.

If there were cosmetic changes such as just levels for show, perk specific item rewards, vault dosh or whatever just let us level above level 25 with no bonuses other than getting milestone rewards. My personal thoughts are that if there were to be gameplay changing effects from prestige, it should be minor to the point where you dont particularly feel the need to keep grinding it or suck, also having an experience boost so it's not as slow the second time around would be nice. I dont think people want it to be that you hit level 25 and that's it OR reset perks for rewards/stats. That and gameplay changing effects have others concerned, while I'd personally enjoy it to an extent. I'm not quite sure we'd want to reset our perks and have to go through the phases of not being able to play on higher difficulties for a while just for cosmetic changes.

I think we could all use some clarity on what types of changes we could see involving this. I also am concerned about what gameplay changing effects you may have in mind for said system if it were to be added.Īnd finally, if there's just cosmetics involved for 'resetting' a perk and leveling it again, I'd rather avoid the entire system itself. I want something to do past level 25 as much as the next guy, but having to reset your perk to do so seems to have some people concerned.
