Side note: If I did have and play all 18 Commanders, I’d be pretty angry at having to re-level 54 times to get the 3rd prestige. Whether re-leveling 54 times stays or goes, we have to be able to choose the prestige(s) we want and not have to grind 3 times to get the 3rd if that’s the one we want.
And if you get yourself a new CO like HH on 40% discount, or they release a new CO, that’s 4 levelings to prestige 3. Even if you spent a decent amount of time to get to know that CO in vanilla mode, that’s just extra grind.
On the PTR Feedback these two posts are the first to mention it:
In that past, some have posted about wanting a way to redo level 1-15, well just put that in as an option called “re-level”, where you get nothing additional for it, possibly just the standard XP added to your Ascension XP points.
