The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Please don’t bracket players based on info you won’t tell us.

Several of my alliance members do not have the 6th milestone in dungeons. I had some of them update their rosters in Clan HQ’s prestige calculator and according to that they have over 4200 prestige. I realize that Clan HQ is an external prestige calculator and is probably not completely accurate, but I would like to point out to Kabam that if you would tell the players what their prestige is in-game, there would be no need for external prestige calculators. They are bracketing players based on a number that they won’t share. The only way for a player to be sure of their prestige is to dump a bunch of units into restoring all their mastery points and they dump a bunch more units into rebuilding them, just for some information of how close they are to the next bracket.

    I know that masteries don’t affect it. Masteries hide it, they make it so you don’t know what the base PI is.

    Agree with the sentiment though. For people putting time, money and resources into a game, it sucks to not have it be easy to see your prestige since most of the game is based on it.

    Yeah last time around at the start of the dungeons I had a prestige of 4188! Kabam was here on the forums saying they used prestige to determine what bracket we’d be in because they didn’t want people to get 4* and then 5* champs before they were ready. That really ticked me off. Because the only reason I wasn’t above 4200 is because I hadn’t ranked my champs based on prestige. I did end up taking my 4* Quake to r5 (something I was already working on) and it took me above 4200.

    I get that some people will always miss the cutoff and be upset, but I think 4200 is too high of a cutoff. I’d say 3800 maybe 4000 would be better.

    Also I agree it should be in game info.

    Not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure kabam said they didn’t put PI in game so it wouldn’t be used as a level of progression or skill (like a r5 SL is better than a r5 Phoenix, but with PI it wouldn’t be). But it is still a thing literally EVERY high tier ally does. It doesn’t make sense but I think that ^^^ is the reason why

    When I have reset my masteries I have found the calculators to be very accurate, although not perfect. Are any of your members that don't have the last milestone over 4200 by more than a couple of points? It is stupid that they won't include prestige in the stats
