already seeing prestige 2 people

[kx]

so far I've seen 2 people already at prestige 2+ in my time of playing. one was a day after the update (just prestige 2) and the other was yesterday. my question is how the hell do you get prestige IV level 92 in 4 days????|| edit: when I made this discussion I didnt realize that speedrunning was a thing. I went to the phas discord and looked through the screenshots to see twitch speedrunners are already at prestige 17. and they stream them getting all of the prestiges so it isnt cheating either. the staff also said anyone above 17 is definitely cheating.

There are people who are prestige 10. They simply play in groups, maximize their exp obtained through contracts, and play a lot.

step 1: have no life
step 2: continue to have no life
step 3: profit

hard to believe with all the bugs and a lot of people getting stuck in the van and having to quit

nah it exist easy ways with save spots again... 10x+ 3 missions are mostly 1000 easy and fast XP again. if you get the ghost direct this are 2000-3000 XP

but higher prestige can be cheater too. so be aware of this.

Really not that many bugs for me at all. The truck bug only appeared yesterday for most people, and was quickly patched within a few hours (relaunch steam). People were still able to grind because they just didn't update the game and continued playing.

lol. no. that's literally impossible. It takes 8-10 hours with 100% success rate to just get to level 20. Anyone that's prestiged twice is cheating.

good joke

hahahahahahaaaaaa... you get over 3000 Xp with the right grinding methode every round (with RNG luck. Bad luck are 1000-2000XP)... and you need 5-10min for a round... = 1 or more level up every 10min...

there's this thing called custom difficulty, which some people play on the regular because they know the game well enough to do zero evidence and zero sanity runs consistently. Maybe you heard of it?

I'll stick to standard difficulties myself, I personally see no real reason to rush to tier 3 stuff, some of it is worse than their predecessors depending on the situation, like why would you use a tier 3 DOTS on a small house when the tier 2 was already enough to cover the entire room?

The maximum multiplier for exp is 15x; Even if you played every hour of every day since the patch launched and didnt lose any progress to the bugs, and successfully completed every round with a perfect investigation in 15 minutes or less (which is very unlikely) you wouldn't be able to be prestige 5 by now- Probably not even prestige 8. And that's assuming you havent slept at all, didnt break for work or food or showers or restroom breaks, never died to the ghost or guessed wrong, etc- There's just no way that's plausible. Even the previous highest level legit players who play 8hrs a day every day aren't prestige 5 yet.


Prestige 2, or 3 is plausible if you've been grinding your backside off; I'd even accept 4, albeit dubiously and I'd want to see hours played in the last week.. But Prestige 10? Nuh-uh.

Eh, Psycho just did video where you can basically grind $2k in just 2-3 minutes per map, so if you do just that I can easily see Prestige 5 by now. Of course, it assumes you know the ghost inside and out.

It takes like 1.9~ million exp to reach prestige 5.

At 2kexp/round on average, you'd need around 1,000 completed runs done with no mistakes. The patch was released on August 19th at 6AM my time; So it's been about 60 hours since then- If you completed every single run in 3~ minutes on average it'd take you 50 hours to have reached Prestige 5. So no sleep, no work, barely any breaks or downtime to to eat/bathroom/shower/etc, and any mistake makes that window even tighter. And yeah, That 100% assumes you know your ghosts so well you can get them right 100% of the time in a 3~ minute window- Which is unlikely, even for someone like Psycho, Insym, or Shuee.

So, No, I don't really think Prestige 5 is plausible just yet. 4? Tight. 5? implausible imo. 10? Absolutely not.

Oh, I agree that 10 is impossible. 5 is there on "Go out and touch grass" level, where you basically have to have done nothing but grind, but it is plausible.

Well you see the problem with the game is hackers, so we should reset progression and not stop hacking again.
