Hello everyone,
with less than two weeks until the end of first BattlePass “season” the time has come to create this thread. It’s role is to gather all feedback we have for Darkflow about BP in one place. So feel free to write:
What you like:
What you don’t like:
What could be improved:
And please don’t start any flame wars between each other here, let’s keep that one thread clean.
I absolutely hate that free and payed BPs are merged into one. I’d rather have payed pass being longer and filled with good stuff, while free pass being shorter but without days that give no rewards. At the end, F2P pass can cycle bronze and some green orders while payed one can cycle silver and green orders.
BP is an awsome chance to get a tons of Silver orders, if you spend time to do battle task per days.
You can get around 1000 Gold if you can complete till Max level. It’s great, cause you can use that money to buy a new BP after that, or a Premium Account.
BP rewards you with several different things, like Random cards (squad upg. reverse card, academy card etc.) which can be useful anytime
Price? completely worth it, not too expensive, and if you see how much thing you can get, its way much better to Get it.
What you don’t like:
Actually I didn’t like the amount of simultaneous performance fulfillment, with Non-BP player task. 3 vs 9 is not too much equal. They have less chance to get these things (especially Gold), and much much more effort they have to do for these shiny things…
What could be improved:
In the next BP (if we can get), that would be great to see some new component. Optional spare parts for vehicles, more different cards for soldeirs/squads, Instant soldier level up card etc. Someting like these.
Free Battle Pass Fair Compared to the Premium One.
Fair Premium Battlepass Price
Good Ammount Of Levels
Easier Tasks To Furfill the battlepass
gives the same ammount of gold within each battlepass to somewhat recover it and spend it somewhere else
What I Don’t Like
Lack Of Cosmetic Options for free and premium battlepasses
Golden Weapon Order Must Be Aquired Throught Premium Level
( despite was announced for free battlepass as well )
9 daily task for premium and only 3 for free battle passes.
that should be equal for everyone.
not many green cards can be obtained though, in 60 levels, i only got 4 of those
What Could Be Improved:
Battle tasks
i feel like, that most of these should be based on what the player equipment is, and keeping in mind which faction the player is playing.
don’t get me wrong, i really finded “good” the battle task that required playing a different faction in a different campaign, as it prove different perspective and gameplay, but with little reward, people will just end up rerolling the task.
In Conclusion:
i’m really happy witth the battlepass. for a start, it’s not one of the worse that i ever seen. and it’s actually good. needs some work in my personal opinion, but it’s more than welcomed.
weather for cosmetic options, i understand if cosmetic do not get introduced as those might change the value of the battlepass and not everyone is interestred in.
I don’t see a point in gold order troops is my main gripe.
Hot take as well but I feel with premium I get way too many silvers from battle pass which makes it too easy to fully outfit my squads with the exact weapons I want even without putting in many hours.
Fair pricing of the Elite Battle Pass and the ability to get all of my gold back eventually and without having to play too much. I will for sure get the next Elite Pass with that recouped gold and invest my money into premium time instead.
Good amount of silver orders.
What I don’t like:
Some of the additional battle tasks are impossible to complete, unless you have reached a certain level (for example mortar kills). Also, some tasks are much more difficult to complete than others.
Free Battle Pass doesn’t get enough daily tasks.
The number of silver soldier orders is sufficient. Silver weapon orders are needed for vehicle parts and you can’t get these from bronze orders. By comparison, silver soldier orders don’t give you any benefit over bronze ones, besides the ability to choose. I’d rather have more green orders instead.
What could be improved:
Some method of synchronizing battle tasks with friends would be cool, so you don’t have to play different campaigns/factions.
Even though I listed some things I don’t like, overall the battle pass is pretty good and I would recommend anyone to upgrade to the elite pass.
You get a ton of silver orders and some random cards even if you don’t buy the elite battle pass
The tasks aren’t too difficult
What you don’t like:
You only get 3 tasks with the free battle pass
There isn’t a ton of random cards
You can’t do some of the tasks and have to reroll if your not far enough in the campaign
What could be improved:
In the next BP make it so people with the free battle pass get more battle tasks either through some harder tasks after the first 3 or just add more than 3 tasks
Make the battle tasks based on what equipment you have so you don’t get mortar kills if you don’t have a mortar and other things like that
Its a pretty good battle pass but it does need some work.
The limited tasks per day should be replaced by tasks that take longer to complete which will be released on a weekly basis. For non-premium holders, you will get new objectives every week which has to be completed within that week. The premium holders won’t be limited to the objectives of the said week. They can also get specific tasks that cannot be completed by non-premium holders which makes it easier for them to finish the battle pass levels.
The rewards itself can remain largely unchanged. Although the ability to get more silver tickets will be appreciated.
If I put certain hours into the game, I’d rather see it reflected on my battle pass progress instead of one that favours even the players that does not want to put in the same effort. That is what the current battle pass. It doesn’t have to be a way of getting small rewards for small efforts.
Fair price AND it gives back all its value in premium currency.
The top rewards are all within a reasonable level, yet going further still provides good value with silver orders.
Most tasks get completed by just playing normally.
Reasonable curve from “easy” to “hard” tasks.
Elite BP really gives A LOT of silver orders.
What you don’t like:
Elite BP should perhaps provide more gold orders. Maybe, free BP giving 1 gold troop and 1 gold weapon, and elite BP giving 2 of each?
As said, some tasks rely on equipment that the player may not have unlocked yet (mortar) and/or is very situational (melee/pistol).
I understand the reasoning behind tasks requiring to play specific campaigns or modes, yet they are a guaranteed reroll if they are about a campaign/mode that the player doesn’t like.
What could be improved:
Gold weapons are unique, but (unless I’m missing something) gold troops have nothing different than regular 5 star soldiers. I think gold weapons and troops could use a minor XP bonus, making them “semi-premium”, since they are available in very limited numbers anyway.
The current BP interface is not very clear in displaying the progression and which reward is next. Also, it should by default be centered on your current level (It used to always start from 1 and require a lot of scrolling).
As someone said, more green orders may be nice.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY, do NOT ruin BP like Gaijin is making in War Thunder by making every next BP season progressively less rewarding yet more grindy.
A lot of players are satisfied, you aren’t fully, why do you suggest replacing the current system instead of extending it with the “long term” harder but more rewarding tasks?
That was my suggestion to make premium battle pass more viable while also making it fair for non-premium players. If there are other ways of doing it, then sure. It’s the devs’ decision in the end. Just because I posted my idea here, does not mean it will end up in the game.
I think, coming changes in orders use will make this discussion obsolete.
Original form of BP was a disaster and show stopper. Luckily with a couple of changes it became somewhat logical and functional. Now there is a danger of another bottleneck, but we’ll see.
Premium BP now is a cheap one time purchase which gives huge benefits. It is by far most cost effective investment in the game.
Battle tasks of killing a dozen of men with your pistol or axe should go. Luckily they are now avoidable.
What do you mean you received nothing? You have unlocked some BP levels, and you have not received the already unlocked non-free items after purchasing the premium battlepass? Not even after a restart?
