For discussing this change in particular, since HOLY FUCK WILL IT DIVIDE THE COMMUNITY
Go yap here
shut up we were in the update discussion thread for a reason
also he was talking about the afk world not the battle pass afaik
both
why is the battle pass bad
i get your point with the premium money generator but why
Yeah but this is gonna generate enough discourse it deserves its own thread
trueâŚ
As itâs yet another way to artificially increase playtime by exploiting peopleâs fear of missing out without providing any changes to the core gameplay loop.
Yes, it gives rewards to people who put in the time, but thatâs already the case for arcane odyssey, whatâs the point?
Itâll realistically only make the game more tedious than it already is by having content be locked to it (or not, but then what would be the reason to complete it?).
why would you think that when it didnt say âexclusive rewardsâ or anything
maybe there could be exclusive cosmetics on rotation, so like every 4 cycles it resets and theres 4 you can get or something
that doesnt sound too good for the health of the game tho since it takes away from stuff you can do (replayability, which vetex is trying to add to)
bonus loot
âwhats the point in looting island chests if you can find the other stuff elsewhere?â loot
Bonus Loot which is likely locked away behind actions that you wouldnât otherwise do until said battlepass system is implemented.
Does he know
game: go do 2 diving spots
me: âcool, i get a chance at getting sunkens and i get more loot down the line?â
this is also good because it encourages alternative leveling methods
if vetex makes a fishing quest ill go back on this
So itâd effectively only be used by the people that donât really have a reason to commit to it as they otherwise would already be farming the dark sea, great!
who tf farms the dark sea for levels
but i digress
My point exactly, nobody dedicated enough to the game to go through an entire battlepass would need to level up.
ok i think we have vastly different interpretations of the same thing
you seem to think
- difficult quests that you can only really do at max level
- unique rewards
- not for low level players
i think
- quests for a variety of tasks that can be done at any level
- generic rewards
- can be for low level players
as for the rewards,
you seem to think
- only galleons/items/special vanity
i think
- galleons/practical items (like reagents)/xp
if i got anything wrong with your interpretation, please correct me
Reward for finishing the battle pass is modifier essence
Instant 10/10
Sounds great!!! Why would late-game players care about the battlepass then?
hmmâŚ
clan building, potion brewing, just doing shit for the sake of it (bronze sea explorer exists)
people play incremental games where the whole shtick is watching numbers go up
diving percentage does literally nothing past 100% and people get it to 300% anyways just for the sake of getting it to 300%
not really. not playing the game just means not playing the game and it would never outclass the best or even good methods of farming galleons, that would just be stupid
