Server Suggestion Prestige System (Account Wipe)

I like the idea of being able to keep 1 vehicle (with upgrades) per prestige! That way you have to pick and choose your loss each time

Suggested rewards:

• One (or two?) extra gene point(s) which you will get as soon as you reset, no need to buy it. You spawn with the extra point.
• Unique clothing per prestige rank that is added (discuss how many below).
• Untradable items that you can place down to flex you are prestiged
• Silly vanity stuff like a 24k gold phone skin that is not client sided
• New car?? (or decoration for the car?)
• More daily free spins per prestige??
• More xp for jobs

I think these are all great ideas; however, I don't think the job XP should be increased once you do so.

Medium said:

Why should this be added?:
- Gives being rich another purpose, money sink essentially.
- Keeps a large group of players engaged, making them want to play more
- Fun new system to play around with

What negatives could this have?:
- People start powergrowing constantly and don't interact with players outside their base anymore, which is already happening
- Could increase raid activity drastically due to people wanting to make money, same could be said for jobs though
- A lot of work for the developers if done all the way

You outlined a lot of good reasons in each of these, but the biggest issue is like you say. Players might be more incentivised to sit in their base all day after this. I really do like this suggestion though! I myself wish something like this type of system existed, and you did a great job coming up with different rewards as suggestions.

I love the idea personally, but a lot of tweaks would need to be made from this suggestion to make it feasible, in my opinion.

This would be pretty cool, lemme get an all diamond L11 please

Problem being that you can revert upgrade for a quick bag which in my eyes is cheating, no longer downgradable?

For jobs like EMS and FF I can see why as that is already an implemented 'grind mechanic' but maybe for the jobs that are a bit more boring like Delivery Driver it would be nice

We need more people to discuss for it to become balanced and fair to all players

Please reply if you downvote with your reasonings

What stops me from selling my shit, giving my money to a friend, org, even just the org bank account/storage as that remains right?
Heck I could just have an org, be the vault member where everything is stored and the rest resets every time while they "prestige".

I do like the idea of prestige, but I would much rather see it bound to gaining XP / tasks and having to pay a certain price to unlock it rather than wiping my whole storage.

There would be little to no reason to keep a big storage as u are wiping it every x months anyway so the demand of Bazaar will basically be one certain gun that's in demand, no big orders as either no money or u gonna reset anyway.

I am one of not that many that loves building and my storage is massive and it would be such a loss for me if I would reset, I am kinda hard locked unless I find a work around like dumping my shit at a friend to "prestige" which probably means I will get punished for it for circumventing the prestige system.

Hence my down vote.

Before you try and reset your acc, give me all your money.

Having a system in place that makes you deposit money and items before you can prestige, if you grind so hard that you store items just to prestige again that really is just ruining your own fun so I mean your problem no?

Workaround for building stuff is you keep your building items, I wouldn’t mind that they aren’t worth that much anyways

The core idea behind a prestige system is that it comes with an actual cost. The tradeoff is meant to be clear: you gain long-term perks, but you give up the items, money, and progression you’ve accumulated. If players have any reliable way to preserve their assets before prestiging, that tradeoff disappears entirely

As blobvis pointed out, nothing currently stops someone from transferring their inventory, cash, or materials to another player/storage. If that loophole exists, prestiging becomes a free reward toggle rather than an impactful decision.

The intended reset would never actually happen, while the player still collects all the benefits tied to the prestiging

While I think this is a cool concept, I do not think its doable

i think an easy way around this would be to add a rule for it

Extremely hard to track and I will not ask mods to scrape players logs prior to them prestiging just to ensure they follow said rule.

I haven't closed this thread hoping someone has a solution for this, however I find it extremely unlikely.

This is an amazing idea overall, but your points are very correct too. I wish there was something we could to do make this a thing :/

Have to deposit a certain amount of cash and guns to prestige at drug dealer npc or something, a few mil and like 100 guns would clear out majority of players

You could go the MMO route and restrict trading (a 'starter grace period') when they reset for a set time, loophole still exists but just takes longer. This is however a very restrictive way of doing it and not really effective for a server like this where trading items is pretty common.


Another way of doing it is making it so they need to apply for prestiging. It will cause a lot more work for the Staff team but this way they can manually check if the player did not transfer any items and then allow them to prestige. Lots of work but would 100% work if done correctly (Perhaps make this part of being Moderator or even Helper, something to do when they cannot play but want their 'activity points'). Just make the time to prestige a long time and it won't be as bad as soon as the honeymoon phase is over. Having used the logs myself, I can confidently say it is not that hard to check the logs for big transactions or patterns in transactions. If they really go the long way to make sure we won't find out, then let them have it. Their loss, not ours.
If they did transfer items, ban them for prestiging for 2 months. Needs to be high to make loopholing the LONG way not really that attractive.

Either way, players will give the prestiging players guns when they ask for it. Even if they didn't trade them beforehand.

Last way is the ultra money sink way by making the deposits INSANELY high. Talking like 10m+ so getting more to save up is just painful. Will however scare more casual players away.

The loophole still exists, say the deposit is 5 mil and I just make sure I have 20, give you 15 mil to give me back once I reset including my 15 AS50s, 100 AKs and 200 Rifle ammo. It doesn't really change the loophole unfortunately.

I really wish this could become a realistic option as I don't want to keep gambling my entire net worth away in the hopes of getting more money or just going broke to start over. For me personally, I lose enjoyment in playing once I make too much money. Which happens quick due to how I enjoy the server.
