wtf is this prestige joke??

[Arashenstein]

It removed ALL my bloody unlocks... WHat kind of stupid system is this?

[ElvisDepressedly]

That's.. usually what 'prestige' does in a game? You dial yourself back to the start and usually get some kind of boost or little bonus thing for doing it, it's been that way in a lot of games for a while now.

considering that you play for at least 9 years videogames, i am also confused as to how you couldnt have known such a common thing that exists now since CoD4.

[Hardstyler]

lmao some people just think they gonna get everything for granted. Prestige is known from cod4 and many games use that type of system.

[RoyTheGoatMan]

This is why you research stuff before you click on it.

[Arashenstein]

No this is why I am proud taht I never touched Children On Duty and always cleaned my computer from installing that garbage. It is my first time seeing such a joke unlock progress in all these games I played. What is the point in removing all the unlocks just to get a camo???

CoD was the first but currently a lot of games use this system, as you can see. Pretty much any shooter with competitive multiplayer and an unlock system has this sort of prestige system.
I really would like to take your side here but honestly, it was you not using google before you click something and then complain for your own lack of quite common gaming knowledge.
Like, its nothing new, this system exists now for nearly 10 years.

[Strangepowers]

It's a way of saying "hey, I'm somewhat hardcore, I'll take a handicap as a badge of honor."

I don't play Call of Duty yet still have heard of/understand what prestige is...

Getting all twisted and projecting outwards with that "children on duty" bs only makes you look childish yourself honestly.

This prestige thing isn't even limited to CoD and is a system used pretty often. Literally any game with a prestige usually means the exact same thing. You get set back to basically how you were from the start gameplay wise disregarding cosmetics. This isn't news and has been a thing for so many years that it's baffling you didn't know what it meant or never played a game with it until now. Nor is the fact that you lose equipment you can still easily get back for a cosmetic make it instantly dumb progress, in fact it's not even necessary unless you want a specific camo.

If you don't want said cosmetic then there's no reason for you to prestige, it's pretty much that simple. A lot of people justify re-earning unlockables for the sake of a reward or just starting from scratch. The only game I can think of that has this system but does it differently is For Honor and that's because almost everything in that game that's unlockable is cosmetic and the things that aren't (that being feats and gears, gears only changing stats in specific modes) just cosmetic players can put real money into, so they can't really reset the feats and gear every prestige thus it just resets your level.

So sorry that you prestiged before looking at what it even was but that's on you.

I had season pass 1 so every DLC class was unlocked for me but then I saw this Echelon saying it needs 8000 Prestige points I went on google and found out to earn so the goal was to reach level 50 and then activate Prestige to start earning Prestige points. I unlocked everything on my way to Level 50 and then click on Prestige it showed me a message by activating this I will be set back to Level 0 (NO WHERE IT SAID MY UNLOCKS WILL BE REMOVED, WHICH IS A JOKE FOR A GAME WITH RANKED COMPETETIVE MATCHMAKING) and then it showed me some Skins that you get access to by becoming Prestiege so I was like "Why not?" and then I see my entire classes are gone and my entire gun unlocks and perks are gone...

This Prestige system or whatever you wanna call it and sounds normal to you maybe is good for games like COD but not for a game where the outcome of the battle is heavily decided on the class you pick and perks you bring with yourself. This is as dumb as if CSGO gets DLC system which allows you to buy your guns only and only through DLCs (i.e AWP DLC)... or if CSGO had level unlocking system for the guns and then you reset everything back to zero once you reach Global Elite.

It's a shame the internet doesn't exist, having a nearly unlimited source of free information at our fingertips via the same exact platform we play these video games on would be way too much power for one man to possess.

So it gives you more than just a camo, you get a class from it that I'd assume you also don't require to play this mode well. If there's literally no way for you to do well with the starter class or classes then this PvP mode has more problems than just prestige.

And CS:GO is an entirely different game built in a way that prestige mode would be impossible without severely changing how the game is played. This does not, it just means you have to change your playstyle until you unlock the class or classes you played the most.

So again, that's on you for either not paying attention to what this game told you prestige mode did or not trying to figure out what it did if the game didn't tell you. Nor is prestiging, again, required at all.

How long does it take to get to level 50 here ?

it took me exactly 30 hours :/

Well, then you will have fun to get there again.
I mean, if you only play to unlock stuff then you shouldnt play games anyway, as that would mean you feel no enjoyment with playing except you are rewarded by a non-sensical and irrelevant goodie.
That only leaves two sides here. Either you have fun and the "problem" you have here is no problem so playing more will happen anyway, or you shouldnt play a game that clearly isnt fun for you and you should 1.avoid games with unlock systems in the future and 2. reflect whether you even like to play videogames at all and if so which games that are, as you seem to then only be motivated by extrinsical factors which is contradicting this hobby.
I see it this way, next time you wont buy a game that needs you to grind through an unlock system when the basic game principle isnt fun.
If you only play to progress through a meaningless system then why play at all.
