[For the first 3 prestiges] When you prestige, we are only taking the experience away, so if you are level 1,000 and doing the first prestige, you will only go down a few levels, you will NOT start back at 1.

[For prestiges 4+] You will be reset to level 1 with 0 experience.

The way prestige bonuses will stack will be as such:
prestige 1: 25% exp bonus
prestige 2: 50% exp bonus
prestige 3: 90% exp bonus
prestige 4: 120% stat bonus
prestige 5: 150% stat bonus

bonus will add up, not multiply.
so total exp bonus = 1 + .25 + .5 + .9 = 2.65x
and total stat bonus = 1 + 1.2 + 1.5 = 3.7x

Coming along with the prestige system, we are re-doing the skill system entirely, scraping most of it as it didn't work all that great and was extremely difficult for us to maintain and expand upon.

- So now, all we are doing is taking skill points (gained by leveling) to upgrade your skills.
- We are removing objectives entirely.
- We are changing the max skill bonus from 20% to 40%.
- It's going to tie into the prestiging system a little.
- - Non-prestiged users will gain skill points until level 250
- - Prestige 1 users will gain skill points until level 500
- - Prestige 2 users will gain skill points until level 900
- - Prestige 3 users will gain skill points until level 1,200
- - Prestige 4 users will gain skill points until level 1,500
- - Prestige 5 users will gain skill points until level 1,800

- We have also introduced 8 more categories:
- - Bust Experience Bonus
- - Crime Experience Bonus
- - Mug Experience Bonus
- - Strength Training Bonus
- - Defense Training Bonus
- - Speed Training Bonus
- - Operation Payout Bonus
- - Mission Payout Bonus

For prestige 2 & 3, we are introducing speedy mugs/trains.

- Speedy mugs will require prestige 2 and will be available to mug users who are at least 3 days inactive. and will allow you to mug users at a rate of up to 50/second.
- - By default you will be limited to 20/second, however with a mug master, you can go up to 50/second.
- - also the mug master will auto bust you out of prison as well as count for 1.25 mugs (on average) for missions/operations.

- Speedy trains will be available for prestige 3+ and allow users to train at a rate of up to 50/second.
- - By default you will be limited to 20/second, however with a train master, you can go up to 50/second.

Speedy Crimes & Speedy Trains are now both available to add to your menus. (At least once you are allowed to view them).

We are also doubling the point packs on the upgrade store moving forward, they have already been heavily discounted in the daily bundles, we did base those off these new point packs, so they won't be further adjusted.

We 4x'd the point dealer.

We are also releasing a 1.5x training and experience event for the entirety of April.

Stay tuned for more changes coming this month!

Thanks!

I "confirm". You can access previous lvls, they are labelled P1/P2/etc and their respective type of mission.

Thank you for confirming. I understand that this was the intention, but have seen this bug before.

Prestige Bundles
Prestige Bundles will be available soon, but for direct purchase, not credits.

huh?

I think that means you have to meet the sadmins in an alley somewhere and purchase them direct on the street

that's why I save all my cee lo money up 👍

they gonna have to drive to my house bc i gotta dig my coffee cans up from out the yard for direct donations

Previous skill system had the function to revert back %...are we going to have that for this new system too?

direct purchases also include trading for other goods? maybe we can arrange something there...
