DIRECT ANSWER
A refusal message with no published explanation
What the developer has actually said about prestige
The progression overview confirms four separate tracks — Profile, Killer, Civilian and Weapon — and states that a player can prestige on reaching the maximum progression level in any of them, for additional rewards. That is the whole published description.
It gives no level cap, no numbers, and no list of what a prestige resets or keeps. It also does not describe a prestige challenge, a cost, or any condition under which prestige would be temporarily unavailable. So the on-screen refusal cannot be checked against a published rule, because there is no published rule to check it against.
That gap matters for a specific reason: without it, nobody can tell a bug apart from an unmet requirement by reading the message alone. Treat guides that state an exact prestige level for this game as unsourced until the developer publishes one.
The message people are actually seeing
The explanations offered there are guesses — server load, a launch-day patch that would fix it, a system not finished — and they contradict each other. None is sourced. What the thread does establish is that more than one player sees the same wording and that it did not change across the launch build.
Separately, players report a prestige action returning a character to level 1 without the expected reward. That is a different symptom from being refused a challenge, and it should be reported as its own case rather than folded into the same complaint.
What to record before you report it
A prestige report is only useful if it identifies which of the four tracks was involved, because they are separate systems that happen to share a word. Note the track, the character or weapon if it is a Civilian or Weapon track, the level shown at the time, the exact message text, and whether a prestige challenge was ever offered or accepted before the refusal appeared.
- Which track — Profile, Killer, Civilian or Weapon
- The character or weapon, when the track belongs to one
- The displayed level, and the exact refusal wording
- Whether a prestige challenge had already been started
What not to do while it is unresolved
Reports belong with the developer’s support address or official Discord. This wiki cannot grant prestige, restore a level, or confirm a timeline for a fix, and it will not repeat a claimed prestige requirement it cannot source.
Frequently asked questions
Is prestige confirmed broken, or is a requirement missing?
Neither has been established. Players report a refusal message; the developer has not acknowledged a prestige fault and has not published the requirement it would be enforcing.
Did the 1.0.1 patch fix prestige?
The 1.0.1 notes list further challenge and achievement tracking fixes without naming prestige. Reports of the refusal continued after it.
Does prestige reset my perk cards or unlocks?
Not published. The overview mentions additional rewards but gives no reset-and-retention list, so check the confirmation screen in your own build before accepting.
