Hello bajtársak and fellow forumdwellers,
I’m sure we are all familiar with the recent news regarding the BattlePass which was not received too well…
in a nutshell
Today I would like to refrain from exploring why the player base got that frustrated and instead suggest some improvements that will improve the reception of such news in the future because this was not the first nor the last time the battle pass session gets extended.
The most important change is improving the rewards of the repeatable stages.
The repeatable rewards as they are now are not worth playing for so once a player finishes the 30 stages of the pass, he will stop caring about the battle pass tasks altogether and wait for the next session to start so he can play for worthwhile stages once again.
If the players received worthwhile rewards from the repeatable stages they would be much more inclined to continue playing and completing battle pass tasks thus making them far less frustrated by the extension of the session.
instead of 1000 silver and 50% boosters repeating over and over again, the repeatable rewards should be both more diverse and valuable. I would also suggest making the repeatable stages randomly generated with rewards having different chances to generate.
- 1000 silver should be replaced with 2500 silver (50% chance)
- 50% boosters are good rewards but they need to be storable and activated by the player. (30% chance)
- 10-20 customization orders (16% chance)
- weapon upgrade order (3% chance)
- vehicle upgrade order (1% chance)
Additionally, every time the battle pass is extended it should automatically add an extra 39th stage (last repeatable stage + 1) as “compensation”, that reward could be a little amount of gold or gold order if you guys did the right thing and kept the battle pass shop.
This would massively change the players base´s opinion on extensions and also incentivise the developers to at least attempt to deliver the next session on time.
Thank you for your time and attention
