An idea a friend of mine came up with is that once you reach 45k prestige you could choose between different badges instead of just the horse badge. For example, you could also have a badge much like that of a boss floor (a skull) and such. Also, when you reach certain prestige ranks, maybe new prestige missions will unlock, and only certain items could be found in those floors, making it more worth while to get to 45k prestige rather than a horse badge. I thought it'd be pretty cool, feel free to post your thoughts on it :)
Prestige badges
Getting 45k prestige is no easy task. Locking exclusive items behind that wall might not a good idea.
I'm all in for the different looking badges, however.
I'm all for prestige being more useful in one way or another. As it stands it doesn't have a use, but any cosmetic change dealing with prestige isn't something that I'm too worried about.
I like the idea of the changing icons.I got past the 45k prestige and i dont find any reason to farm anymore.Although the prestige is useless as it is now a change like discount in supply depot or anything else would need thinking cause its changing the economy.Changing icons dont affect it and it has only positive effect.Grey Havens must take advantage of these ideas!The Icons can be inspired from monster families or status.I would like to see a way to prestige be usefull,but let them start with easy tasks that will renew the game and give motive to players.
One of my favorite ideas for prestige is to make it unlock various special shops or auction pages. The idea is that the higher your prestige the more of these shops you unlock. These shops would have limited supply of certain items for increasingly high prices, but would be unbound as such to be resold to others who do not have the correct prestige rank.
Once you complete all rank missions (if you never ran prestige ones) you would unlock the first shop, and at that point you could learn that it exists and to keep working up prestige. After reaching vanguard you have 5k prestige, which is the first level for prestige ranks. I would then add additional prestige levels after the horse badge, but have the badges be changeable to any after the horse one is gained.
If such a thing is implemented I would recommend additional ways to gain prestige, such as each arcade gate giving prestige for each tier, and additionally for survivor achievements and cradle and all/dauntless delver achievements. Shadow lairs would also grant prestige upon completion, and would for every time they are completed.
I agree that prestige literally just needs more use. I know quite a handful of people, me included, who have after 100k prestige when we could've stopped at the horse badge at 45k.
Prestige does like nothing as of now but for bragging rights.
A friend of mine did mention that there should be rewards at different intervals of prestige.
I also like Fangel's idea.
This seems easy enough, if they left prestige untouched and only added new prestige badge options to choose from ( and further tier icons aswell) that alone would be reason enough for me to start farming them daily.
( makes less sense but!!!): Maybe you could even unlock rare prestige icons by killing rarespawns :O like a love puppy, soul jelly or impostocube badge!
