Are Prestiges kill in Omega Update? by ImRaging March 29, 2015 at 7:03 PM UTC

I saw the badges in the beta testing so i'm wondering if prestiges are bai bai?

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 7:03 PM UTC

RIP Prestiges D:

Prestiges are kill

So everyone starts from scratch...

^ crap.

Prestiges are gone, but your Kills, Deaths, Objectives, etc. will be saved and moved over.  

So the way it works in the new update is that you can buy badges with credits that you earn, as opposed to just leveling up over and over and continuing to prestige.  Also, you can customize your badges, so that's cool too.
I personally like the idea better, but we'll have to see in the update c:

I want everything to be reset

ImRaging March 29, 2015 at 8:03 PM UTC

Could prestiges be kept but in a different form?

I believe that's what the badges are?

Sevoo March 29, 2015 at 10:03 PM UTC

Please, just give us all the credits we accumulated during this time. I dont want 4 prestiges to go to waste, and I dont think Sunny would be happy ^_^

theyre doing that

Jahaj March 29, 2015 at 10:03 PM UTC

Wait so can you transfer our Kills and other stuff into credits?

ImJeezus March 29, 2015 at 10:03 PM UTC

Good.

Hacktivism March 29, 2015 at 10:03 PM UTC

So are prestiges going to transfer into credits? Or will they just disappear?

Precise_ March 30, 2015 at 2:03 AM UTC

All our hard work prestiging down the drain? Why Kylo Why D:

_Jupiter March 30, 2015 at 3:03 AM UTC

Awwwww nooo :(

Hete March 30, 2015 at 3:03 AM UTC

I'm pretty sure Ivy won't just dispose the prestige levels people have achieved, and make us start over.

keenanjt March 30, 2015 at 3:03 AM UTC

Think about it logically :P If we transfer XP into credits you'll all have hundreds of thousands of credits. You'd be able to buy any item in the shop for the rest of your life. This would force us to make prices higher and consequently unattainable for new users.

What we're doing is saving everyone's progress in the form of kills, deaths and objectives. The leaderboards will be sorted by a combination of these statistics per gamemode. Badges are similar to prestiges, in that they grant you an icon next to your name, but prestiges ranked players and were in a sequential order. Badges, on the other hand, are just another shop item. You can pick your badge, customize it, remove it, change it up later.

LorSyon March 30, 2015 at 3:03 AM UTC

Idk.. I do and don't like this.

Oh, okay, this makes sense, but can you not add everyone's deaths and just discard those? PLZ?

Then people like Sunny would have 150,000 KD.

DonaldMyTrump March 30, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

I'd like there to be some kind of aesthetic compensation for the experienced avicus player such as a badge that indicates if you reached a certain amount of kills, objectives or levels. Other than that I'd like a complete stat reset. I believe that this would make it interesting for new and old players alike while still paying respect to the big time players who put days into avicus.

Jahaj March 30, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

Exactly!

JUBBINATOR March 30, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

You know, if y'all aint gonna transfer no prestiges y'all should at least give out limited edition badges and stuff for people what already got their prestiges so it ain't gonna turn out as a total waste of time :3

+1
Just give us a badge that looks like our prestige symbol, and those wouldn't be obtainable in the credit shop.

I like this idea. However, I'm pretty sure you aren't going to anything based on what a few people have said so i guess RIP prestiges. No hate.

Badges... 

YAY....

DarthRaysty March 30, 2015 at 12:03 PM UTC

At least badges are customizable

ImRaging March 30, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

At least badges are customizable
That's what I like. They are customizable. But now there isn't really a ranking system. Also, now that there isn't xp, how are the leaderboards gonna work?

Probably kills/kdr/objective mines/amount of credits you earned

ImRaging March 30, 2015 at 1:03 PM UTC

Probably kills/kdr/objective mines/amount of credits you earned
I doubt it'll be credits because people will be spending them all of the time, unless they keep an overall count of how many credits you have.

Sem March 30, 2015 at 3:03 PM UTC

any screenshots of the badges?

btw please dont transfer objectives. i want to be the best rusher!!!

keller183 March 30, 2015 at 4:03 PM UTC

As long as the prestiges that if earned don't go to waste.

Legoche March 30, 2015 at 4:03 PM UTC

I think the credits thing is a bad idea, and the current xp system is fine. I would love to see how it pays out though.

flyofff March 30, 2015 at 4:03 PM UTC

Prestiges shouldn't be gone! I just prestiged...

RightSide March 30, 2015 at 8:03 PM UTC

I will miss prisidges , they shown your commiment and the time and effort you spent on the server when just looking at someone in game but I'm sure badges will be better !

SavageAmericans March 31, 2015 at 1:03 AM UTC

Like zacd56 I'd like a complete stat reset for old and new players alike so no one has an unfair advantage in the KD ratio department.

Precise_ March 31, 2015 at 2:03 AM UTC

It's not an unfair advantage, seeing that they spent all that time getting those stats. If they had cheated or donated to get those stats, then that would be unfair. How do you think people with 100k kills are going to feel?

Super_Fat_Man March 31, 2015 at 3:03 AM UTC

R.I.P. Prestiges... All that time spent on this server just throw in the trash...

ProfessorUtonium March 31, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

Here is what should happen to players with a prestige rank. They get a special badge symbol/color to show dedication to the server for how long they stayed from the beginning. (Doesn't matter what prestige/gamemode. At least one prestige)

BourbonBonobo March 31, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

I kinda dislike the whole prestige thing actually. I appreciate the whole badge development, because it will give players a fresh start, with new challenges! May be make the badges earn-able at a little less than 50, like prestiges were... But otherwise, great addition to avicus!

You don't understand. You don't get prestiges from levels anymore. Levels are gone so there is no more level "50". You buy badges from the shop by getting credits. You can customize them and it really doesn't change much. It's just becoming a shop system which doesn't show any new challenges. You just kill, and win to get credits. Mineplex shop v2 -_-

Sunaye March 31, 2015 at 10:03 AM UTC

I could care less about loosing prestiges, I play for fun. But will kills be reset?

Legoche March 31, 2015 at 10:03 AM UTC

I am sure they are transferring kills, deaths and objectives over. Don't cry! You won't lose your million kills or whatever it is xD

ImRaging April 1, 2015 at 9:04 AM UTC

Nope. Kills, deaths, K/D, objectives blahblahblah won't be reset.
