Prestige (character reset with permanent bonus)

Sometimes I just like to start over again. You propably would say: "Yeah, we have leagues for this." You are right. We have leagues for that.

But what if you could reset your >lvl80 character (on standard) and get [edit] some sort of bonus [/edit] for each prestige? This way you can extend the playtime of your character and you have an extra goal on standard because every prestige improves your character slightly.

Edit 1:
Changed the 1 passive skill point to 'some sort of bonus'. Because I don't want to kill the idea just because some will find 1 passive skill point too overpowered.

Ok, sorry. A 'prestige' is a feature found in a lot of mobile games these days to expend playtime. It's basicly a reset with a permanent bonus to something as a reward for resetting. This way you experience the game again with slightly different variables for some extra fun for the experienced player.

Edit 3:
It's also a nice idea to increase the difficulty of the game after a prestige. This way it's more a risk/reward mechanism.

you're aware it takes people 1 to 2 days to level a char to 80? lwt's do the math on how long it takes for a level 200 char yourself

OK... I can do that. In the case that I have no life and nothing else to do and play 200 prestiges in 300 days (1.5 day for every prestige), 10 hours a day. I will reach 200 extra passive skill points.
So it will take close to a year with the dedication of an Etup to do this.

In reality I level a character to lvl 80 in 2 weeks so for a normal guy like me, playing POE on and off for a year (40 weeks) I would have 20 prestiges. Thats 5 years to reach the goal of 200 prestiges.

I think if you show that much dedication you deserve this boost.

Can I do this where rolling over keeps me at the same level with the same gear but the whole game is given wacky and insane mods that get harder with each rollover after beating Merciless malachai?

Eventually reaching a point that I am absolutely guaranteed to die if I try to continue? Endlessly increasing difficulty until Hillock rapes me over and over and I am stuck in Twilight Strand?

I like the idea but I think an XP and level reset should be in place. I also would like a bonus for getting that extra difficulty. Maybe some IIQ and/or IIR just like in maps.

So you can do an optional prestige for extra difficulty and some bonus IIQ and/or IIR again and again until you are not able to reach lvl 80 anymore. Yes please.

Its a cool idea but people here would beg not for it to happen. Because with with 300 skill points you one shot everything and are unkillable. Even though you one shot everything and unkillabe already with 100 skill points.

Horrible

This kind of already happens with your skill gems (level to 20, prestige them to level 1 + 20% quality). I could see it being ok for gear too in various forms, but not characters.

I think that would put undue pressure on players to level more and more characters to lvl 80 for the points rather than play the endgame.

I'm sorry but ... what are you talking about ??

And if it is something that would allow 300 skill points as somebody else said, it's a just plain : no.
For obvious balance reasons.

And if you are expecting standard to get extra features that fresh leagues will not get .... that will never work, you can forget it imho ( I would rather have actual content for the fresh league rather that some new unbalanced feature for standard )
