NCsoft has posted a much anticipated update on the progress of clan owned control points in Tabula Rasa.

It’s been a while since we’ve last given an update on the progress of clan owned control points. I know a number of players have been hoping to hear more about the design and progress of this. With the 1.8 build you’ll notice the addition of a new pane on your character doll called Prestige. It’s the first part of a system that will be the basis for how clan owned control points will function.

So, what exactly is Prestige anyways? Glad you asked! Here’s a quick overview of the current design:

• Prestige is a new form of currency that is recognized by the AFS. It is gained through the actions of your player.
• Prestige can be gained through two types of actions: PvE and PvP.
• On the PvE end, these actions are as follows:
  
  • Achieving a max kill streak
  • Killing control point minions and bosses
  • Killing standard bosses
  • Acquiring rare items off corpses of enemies you’ve killed
  • Included in the reward for specific missions
• On the PvP side, Prestige can not only be gained, but lost as well:
  
  • Killing an opponent will net you prestige that is generated based on your level relationship to the player
  • You will also acquire a percentage of your opponent’s prestige that is taken directly from them.
