Disclaimer: I’m not bitching about the level cap. I honestly don’t care what Illfonic does, I love the game anyway and will continue playing.
So a lot of people have an issue with the 150 level cap, saying that afterwards there’s no reason to play because they want a progression system. While I don’t have an issue with this, since I’ve been playing at 150 for months, it would be cool to see a different type of progression system. So here’s my solution:
I’m assuming Ilfonic is hesitant to increase the level cap because they want to add new content for each level, like adding elder and new knifes for levels 100-150. They’re not increasing the level because they don’t have any new content to go with it. However, I really don’t think that’s necessary to increase the level cap. For every level, you get veritaneum and every 5-10 levels you get a certain amount of field lockers, sometimes even 10. This was really nice, and I would be great to keep getting rewards like that as we continue playing. So I think Illfonic could add a prestige system to the game to keep the level cap going without needing to add new content. When you hit 150, you would go back to prestige 1 level 1 and continue leveling. They don’t even have to change the veritaneum values for each level or the xp needed to level up, just reset the level back to one. You would lose no gear or items, you would just keep leveling after 150 and gain more money and field lockers. And if Illfonic wants to add additional content for each prestige a player can get in the future, they can totally do so. Perhaps sometime after the prestige system is implemented they could add a reward for reaching prestige 2 or 3. Just an idea for the devs that could be a simply improvement for the game overall. Not necessary, but a welcome change nonetheless. Thanks for the devotion to the game Illfonic and look forward to see what you have in store for the future!
