cool idea. you could lvl up the battle pass with your level and with your levels you could unlock armor or items something like that. 
The economy is already fucked thanks to the fucking invisible head

How tf do you try to make an immersive adventure-focused game and even consider a battle pass? It makes no sense even from a game design standpoint except for the fact that it’s Roblox bc children are braindead
But there are simply better ways to get players a constant flow of vanity items while not absolutely scumming out Ubisoft style, like letting tailors do “custom orders” for Robux or literally anything else.

Personally I’d rather vetex not adding a battle pass system, free or paid I don’t want one since like alot of people above me said, economy crash.

fortnite battlepass
No. There should be other alternative methods for monetization
Mainly for the sake of collectors who don’t have the money to afford it
go get chests, combat (no)
I don’t mind the idea as long as it’s not tradeable items, if he makes it tradeable items then the economy would be ruined.
But this also brings the point of items in the battlepass could be armors/accessories in the actual game with stats instead of vanity
i mean it is just vanity but i don’t really like the battle pass style
idk why this got 10 likes but it reminded me to actually elaborate as to why i hate this idea
Why people hate battlepasses
Battlepasses are BORING and MUNDANE lousy systems that drives players to play the game purely off of FOMO (fear of missing out), and 98% of the time the game either forces you to do really boring grindy activites to get through and it get the oh very sought after final reward, sometimes even the best strat being to literally afk overnight and use an autoclicker to do whatever you need to do in that specific game to progress in the battlepass. It’s. Boring. As. Fuck. There are better ways to incentivize players into coming back to your game, and battlepasses are not it, sure they make some people come back, but never in history has there been a fun battlepass system so it just makes the players more bored over time and not bother coming back.
A singular alternative (I'm not creative)
I can’t really think many better alternatives off the top of my head, but something maybe like a weekly challenges thing offered by npcs but they’re obscure things that (sometimes) relate to the players level and something they wouldn’t really go out of their way to do, ex: get the final hit on this npc using this magic/fighting style/weapon, kill this npc wtithout any stat equips?, travel to the dark sea and return with a [item here], etc. It’s kind of shitty yeah but idk bro i’m not an expert game designer or anything but I do know battlepasses suck.
Tradeable or Untradeable
Tradeable pros/cons:
- Less FOMO
- Will bring in artificial demand and make things more expensive, and outraging players
- Maybe kind of counter-intuitive as some players may not bother playing and simply trade for one
Untradeable pros/cons:
(Stalemate) Will force playes to actually play the game to finish the battlepass so they can’t just not play it and trade for one
- Players won’t be outraged due to the inflated price
- Much more FOMO
Both of these aren’t good options, also every 2 months is way too frequent and would definitely get in the way of development of more major things. I also see people saying that the economy is already “broken” and this will break it further, I’m very confused by this because, 1) no it isn’t? just because you can’t afford the headless doesn’t mean its broken per se, and 2) they simply just won’t, they’d likely be too common to be worth anything (other than like the last item or something).

why do people care about AO economy when it’s gonna get fucked over due to headless anyway
I think what your missing is that people couldn’t use real money to get headless.
it doesn’t mention being able to use money for anything on here
Did you not read my post the battle pass is paid.
I’ve looked at it and looked at it again
nowhere is it mentioned you have to pay for it
Looking at it again on trello
it is under monetization ideas, but I doubt he would make a gamepass for vanity items that expensive
