Hello everyone, I would like to present my little concept for an all new prestige system. There are many veterans among us. Most of us already hit the level cap on every faction a long time ago. When the level cap got raised from 20 to 30 of Athena’s Fortune, I had once again a goal to reach, so I thought to myself, why stop there? I would like to propose a prestige system.
So how would it work? Firstly, you need to hit max level at a faction. You’ll then get the option to purchase from any faction representative the prestige level up. I would suggest capping the amount of times you can go into prestige up to 5 times.
What will be different from before, I hear you ask! Well, you start over at level one again, though it would be increasingly harder to progress with each prestige level.
I also would add a little star around the level emblem for each prestige level.
But what do I get, why on godforsaken Brink should I start over? Well, like Ramsey told us before: “It's not about the gold, it's about the cosmetics!” Whatever the case may be, we all want cosmetics. So for each new prestige level we reach, we can unlock “new” cosmetics. I don’t want to propose that Rare creates all new cosmetics, that would be a bit outlandish. I would instead suggest that we can upgrade our old ones we already unlocked previously. And I don’t mean anything crazy, just add a star per level.
Are cosmetics the only thing we get? No, there are also some new titles you can unlock.
My name idea would be the title“mythic”. If you manage to get prestige 5 and max level you’ll for example unlock the “Mythical Hunter” for the Hunter's call. If you manage to collect all mythic titles for all 6 factions, well firstly calm down buddy, your family wants to see you as well once in a while. But you’ll also unlock the grand and fabled title of “Mythical Pirate”. We got a new goal to grind towards.
I hit mythical in a faction, what do I do now? Well, the grind doesn’t stop anymore! After you hit max level, you can go above and beyond. Your level will still increase, though you’ll only unlock a bit of money or doubloons every 5 levels, just similar to how it is in the season pass. Still, big number goes bigger ;)
What about the money though? Well, the price should and could be quite high. Why? We have a tone of that useless metal anyway. At least the veterans among us. What about newer players who also want to reach these new goals? Honestly, I fully expect that if someone reaches the level cap, he would be able to gather a larger amount of gold. We need some more ways to put our money anyway.
I would say, around 1mil gold * the prestige level you're about to purchase is a fair price.
It would be 15mil in total per faction, so 90mil all together. Though this number might seem quite big, you don’t pay it in one go, you’ll have enough time to raise that money between the level up’s.
Also, maybe the upgrades for the items you’ll unlock could follow the same rule. So it would be original price * level of prestige you're in.
In my mind, this shouldn’t be a standalone update. This should be a nice treat for us “endgame” players, which comes alongside another new and exciting feature Rare has surely planned in the future. So I wouldn’t make it any more than that, so that it doesn't get too complicated, too out of the ordinary or anything like that.
So what do you think? Anything you don’t like and would change? Or maybe add? Any questions? Or any Ideas for some nice and little cosmetic changes? Then don’t be shy and comment below :)
