Prestige skin tokens

[solar zephyr]

When you prestige, a lot of players want tokens to keep a specific weapon unlocked so they don't have to grind it out. What about using the token to instead, unlock a specific streamer/drops/unique skin? This in turn gives players an opportunity to unlock a specific skin they may have missed out on or otherwise never had the opportunity of obtaining.

[pallid canopy]

yeah as long as some extra special skins are made exceptions like veteran or beta tester stuff

[tacit pivot]

Yes, but if this is added, IMO make it so that you lose attachments (not skins) again upon prestige

I feel like it’s not really a grind anymore if I have all attachments immediately

And while this suggestion is pretty nice, it would make it even easier to get 200 back

[pallid canopy]

i would consider that a good idea if it didn't take a ridiculous amount of time to get the attachments for most/every gun

it's almost on par with the skin grind but not quite

[wraith wasp]

10,000 kills for all skins
300 or so kills for all attatchments
almost on par

[pallid canopy]

if you use more than one gun you're not going to enjoy having to re-unlock every attachment for them all lol

already takes long enough to do the first time around

so yes, almost on par in enjoyability but not time consumption

[tacit pivot]

Eh to me it would feel more like a different playthrough

Like elden ring new game +

Where you try out new stuff on prestige

Not using the same exact loadouts

[pallid canopy]

sorta, i'm trying my best to keep the average experience in mind since it's gonna be divided

for those who can put lots of time into the game it won't be so bad but it may discourage casuals/part timers from prestiging

[tacit pivot]

Reason to reset attachments is to also encourage ppl to use a variety of weapons and maybe change things up

[wraith wasp]

Boy would you have been shocked at how prestiges worked before, not only that the exp was like 100x slower

[tacit pivot]

The xp is already super wild and the attachments are imo pretty easy to get

[pallid canopy]

i have played while exp was bad and while prestige reset kill count

i'm not a new player lol

[pallid canopy]

yeah but i can also empathize with people who max 20 kills per game which is most of them

[wraith wasp]

Even at 20 kills per game thats like 20 games

Its really not that bad

[bitter pumice]

could work with weapon prestiges maybe? kill counter on the weapon which shows how many kills you have with the weapon

extra skins for 5 weapon prestige or whatever

[low wadi]

wdym that is clearly on par

[pallid canopy]

just saying a lot of people only put in a couple games a day, having that progress wipe every prestige is just not sustainable for the layman

[wraith wasp]

Then don't prestige?

[pallid canopy]

there should be little in the way of someone desiring to access cool skins lol

i think re-unlocking the guns themselves is enough

plus prestiging is what keeps a ton of people even playing the game so ultimately the population will die faster if prestiging isn't worth the time

[wraith wasp]

Its more than worth it rn, it's practically free

[pallid canopy]

exactly and it should stay that way

[bitter pumice]

or, you could introduce some weapon level which would be tied to unlocked attachments

• keep your weapon level on "main" prestige
• on weapon prestige, reset your attachments to be gone: you unlock some feature (kill counter on prestige 5 for example)
• skins could also be locked behind weapon level / prestige instead of sheer kill count

[wraith wasp]

Nah tbh, once you done a few, you're just going through the motions

[rapid beacon]

I dont like this suggestion because I actually like FOMO skins. I like when games have items that are only available for some period of time in the past, that you know will not be available in the future. Exclusivity can make skins feel a lot more special to have, especially when they arent just exclusive because of a price tag.

[solar zephyr]

I mean there’s different ways of going about it. They could still make skins like those but keep it on a slim chance they will appear in this “store” in the future. Whether it be a few weeks or a few years. But there’s also skins that should stay this way, such as patreon backers, veterans, early prestige, and trailer skins. At least those come to mind.

[copper barn]

Well ump requires 500 kills for quickmag but i see your point

[wraith wasp]

Ya its wasn't before, they changed it for some reason, did the same on the aug too

[copper barn]

Also i am a casual and havent prestiged yet but keeping attachments i do like to some extent.. i just want to keep reddot i dont want to use famas without reddot ever again

Maybe like lower the required kills for attachments after you prestige

[pure otter]

you do keep your attachmetn on prestige

but not the gun

[copper barn]

I know thats the case now... but make attachments reset but lower required amount of kills i think it would make the game more sustainable for casuals and for hardcore player

[pure otter]

how is that sustainable?

[copper barn]

Becouse hardcore players have something to do other then skins and lower casuals arent forced into too much gridning. It promotes using diffrent weapons to some extent and not these "put mp7 p90 back on medic" guys that are stuck only on one weapon

[pure otter]

i would disagree to that

[copper barn]

And also im about level 117 so no prestige yet and i already have every attachment for ak74 m4 ump and mp7 so after i prestigue i have everything for those guns already which even i dont like

Prestigue is only for skins i guess

Whats your opinion about it @pure otter

About whole tread im for prestigue tokens but for skins not unlocking the weapons

[pure otter]

dont wanna grind something over and over again

[copper barn]

😂i have a problem with that hence 1.5k hours in warframe and 1k hours in destiny i guess i like to repeat stuff

[whole raven]

i like this a lot

[rapid beacon]

The skins appearing later on at all kinda ruins it. The feeling is from skins not being possible to get anymore, thus showing that you are an older player who dedicated a lot of time to the game in the past. If the skins are possible to get at all in the future it kinda nullifies that. Also a problem with only doing this with existing skins is that newer players wont ever get as much of an opportunity to get exclusive skins.

[ocean gazelle]

tbh it feels tedious to get all attachments on some guns mostly the pistols and snipers maybe if they reset make the kills less on some of the more tedious guns to get kills on

[ocean gazelle]

that's a awful example because new game+ you keep all your stuff and levels from your last game XD

and all you gotta do is get to the one lady to respec just like now if you wanna try new stuff for the guns you just gotta get to the level of the gun

the problem with getting people to try new attachments is that almost every gun has only one good set up for the attachments and most in between attachments until that one loadout make the gun feel worse so its better to go with just a sight on some guns until you get the right ones

and other guns the best attachments are right at the starting amount of kills so you don't need to get any large number of kills

[frank crest]

I don't have anything to add honestly this is just great

Nvm I do, give players who prestige patches to display them on their uniforms.

This also turns into a great marketing idea to make a bunch of patches which could be sold separately or part of a pack to go alongside buyable cosmetics in the future cough 👀
