Having two separate purchases of Premium Membership and Elite Battle Passes is not only confusing, it comes off as a bit scummy. I suggest one price to unlock all paid content. It creates an easier to follow and manage two tiered system.
Selling stuff in the store is fine, it’s just the recurring payments to unlock content that should be one thing.
Sorry - disagree - it is how pretty much every game with a BP works.
I agree that they should be separate, and you can pay for the next battle pass with the gold you achieve through it.
However they need to sweeten the pot for premium account holders, with the removal of some of the benefits of premium, they should balance that out with adding either increase in bronze orders, or something to balance the loss of academy training speed and troop cap.
Maybe that is a nice idea, but i dont think deve will do that, not effect that much.
Just because other games do it does not make it the best system. I’d like to hear why you think it is better beyond the fact other people do it.
I see it as whale hunting and confusing what should be simple. I believe they would make more money with a simpler system. I’m not going to spend any more money on this game, but I would if it were just one purchase and I don’t think I’m alone.
And every shooter game with Battle Passes I have played or even read about do not have an additional premium subscription, but again, that’s irrelevant. We’re not here to play the same thing as other games when better options are available. Apex, Fortnight, CoD, all the most popular online shooters have just a battle pass as a recurring payment, no premium nonsense and make oodles more money than Gaijin.
Well in other forums I see a lot of people only want to do 1 or other in various games, and I expect ther are people who feel the same here. So this way they can select which they do without having to “pay” for the other.
That alone is enough IMO.
Plus I do not think it is particualrly complex at all!!
Sure, anything thats better for the average player is a +1 for me. Or alternatively, add a cheaper bundle thats like 75 days of premium + the battle pass.
Battle pass is one time investment because I can earn another gold for next BP. Premium is time based, don’t mix it.
And in regrads to premium just drop the advantage of having +1 vehicle and +1 inf squad in rooster, it is heading towards P2W too much. I’m ok with faster progress, skins and other visual customization but not direct game advantage. You never know which map and mode you are gonna play, and what squads your teammates have so the extra variability in squads seems too big advantage.
