I second this.

I dare even say, its in the great grind that prestige will bring that I intend on trying different builds.

But if I domt have the perks, guess the builds wont be complete... At most I can try some weapon combinations and whatnot...

At the very least, and this is barely helping much... keep the team perks and signature perks unlocked...

Those tend to be good for teambuilding and worth no being a pain for your teammates, as well as more generic and less build centric perks. 

But really... just let us have the perks and have fun...

Last idea, give prestige ranks an innate EXP Boost!

This would reduce the grind pain, IF YOU REALLY REALLY WANT THAT SABER, but exp is not just for the class, is also for weapons, and I feel many weapons can feel weak beause you have to level them up to make them good. But that takes time and you can lose interest half way through.

Ideas Ideas, but we just want the fun!

no need to take our toys away Saber!

I agree. Resetting perks for EACH prestige level is anti-fun, especially considering having to do it for each of the SIX classes.

My suggestion: Each of the first three prestige perks requires an amount of experience equal to 25 character level, without resetting the usual perks. But the last prestige perk requires a complete reset to make it a kind of final challenge - also, you could add some additional achievement on Steam, for those who like such things.

In sum, it would even be fun to re- level up each character once, but no more, please.

It all depends on the reset is it just reset to level 1 and you lose all class perks? If it resets weapons too that is pretty huge

I have already reset perks on 1 class and I am now level 1 and I sure am not going to level it to 25 to test the 1 perk I think will be broken over powered I hope that is changed in the PTS so we can test more.

Prestiging back to level 1 would give me reason to play Absolute, as I can get more XP from it besides just being a fun gamemode. But now I can't because I'll lose the class defining perks, I hope they change this.

Listen, i played this game for 300 hours without a prestige system and i really dont need a kick in the sack to play more of it - you already gave me content to grind for. If it takes me, say, 10 hours to max out prestige for a class, does it really matter if i spend those 10 hours gimped or not? I'm still gonna play it but in one case im just much less likely to spend that time doing things i want on the difficulty i want. And i dont even want to think about people playing on and off every other day or so that finally might have maxed all their classes only to go back to level 0 again lol.

I don't want to grind all levels again!!!!

This is insane!

For all classes brother. For all classes!

I really like to grind in this game, because I really like the gameplay. I got all the weapons maxed out, all the PvE ordeals and all the achievements, but even I would not like to grind at low difficulties with all my fun perks removed just to get some mediocre perks. Furthermore, I do not understand why I would need them. Absolute is absolutely doable and fun with the current perks, so why would I spend time with grinding that gets me nowhere. I think the game is the most fun at a higher difficulty, so kind of forcing players to play on lower difficulties really sucks.

Hm, this could be an interesting middle ground.

Agreed, the XP grind is gonna be a massive chore if nothing is done to change it 

Maybe a system where we pay requisition points and armoury data to unlock the slots and then we grind to unlock each perk?

The grind itself is fine, imo. It's a long-term progression thing for people that want to play the game for that long, I am completely fine with it.

But making this grind a hassle by not letting us use our full builds is a very different kind of annoyance. Like MrFreakno in here previously mentioned, I too would've loved to keep playing the game at higher difficulties, but not having all perks to make builds to do so just doesn't feel good. And if prestige is implemented the way it is, you will never have a time where you can play around with all your perks unlocked, since you'll be stuck in a loop prestiging things all the time until you unlock everything.

It'll be an actual chore this way.

I just wanna play the game the way I want while grinding exp, and I assume a lot of other folks do too.

Yeah that's what i'm trying to say, havibg to re-level every single class from scratch along with having perks reset feels more like it'll dissuade folks from actually grabbing the prestige perks than encouraging them to grind

Oh so that's why both heavy and bulwark went back to 1 lol. I thought that was a bug.

Yeah no please do not do this. It's absolutely a terrible idea. The amount of times I've switched perks around to try different builds and weapons and combos is insane and given that prestige perks are not so terribly different in that regard, it'll make things terrible.

As someone who has put in over 300 hours in this game, for heavens sake let me play with my fully maxed character while grinding the prestige...

Like you are literally asking us to play/grind being pissed off at our lack of power in game. 

Remember what you told us all those months ago - "this is the fans game, not the Devs"....

Well listen to your fans now. It's overwhelmingly a poor decision to reset.
