No no you misunderstood.
It’s to replace the current proposed monetization system.
We have 8 packs and premium time, as well as the ability to buy literally everything

Oh my bad. As long as we go away from the current system with the packs I’m all for it. The battlepass idea is nice and optional which you either participate in or don’t if you don’t want to bother with challenges.
Also i hope they rework the packs, instead of giving you “premium squads” how about they give premium uniforms and an XP boost to the “premium” squad but they start at lvl 1 same as every other squad. But that’s one of many suggestions which is up for debate and may be completely ignored by the devs

I personally agree they should have let us level soldiers up faster in a premium squad instead of giving them maxed out soldiers by default, as well as just making the guns usable by any assaulters so players end up distributing them across squads
Agreed, battlepasses usually last for a few months which is enough of the time, however it heavily depends on how much time are you willing to spend on almost a daily basis in order to get it (is it multiple hours daily in WT style or less?). And of course, the factor of “if you miss out on this, you are screwed as there is no other way to get it than this time” plays important role.
I had to vote “other” on this one, because as I said previously I´m willing to somehow tolerate its presence (under certain conditions such as partialy replacing current monetization plans) while not liking it at all. After all, both battlepass and lootboxes have the “psychological torture” aspect in common. One feeds on gambling addiction, other one on time pressure (not to mention you have to pay to be allowed to grind/claim grinded stuff).
But is it better than lootboxes? If done correctly, it definitely is.
Enjoy throwing men away in the proving grou-I mean Academy))
One game I know of ( Dead By Daylight) puts the battlepass content into their cosmetic store about half a year after the battlepass expired. This allows people who can’t be bothered, or don’t have the time to grind away, still get the content at a later point with money.

I’m happy to see most of you taking this as seriously as you do and coming with suggestions that can enhance the system.

That would do just nicely, but I can´t really see gaijin actually commiting to that.

Yeah this

›Doing something nice
I could see Darkflow wanting to, but with the snail overlord idk
I don’t see why they wouldn’t. For one you have people buying the battlepass “premium” track because they want to unlock it right then and there and later they can put the things up for sale which would yield even more money. IMO that’s a win-win for everyone
lol shithole, people on this here forum are so abrupt lol but I like that I guess

Lowering the pressure even with delay? Monetization schemes of gaijin are built on quick seas of bucks with some bonus from the rest here and there.
They pretty much did but gaijin way… You earn your vehicles in battlepass as marketplace coupons you can sell… which means gaijin continues proffiting and preying on collectors while price slowly increases.
Of course we take it seriously. I for one want to see this game to flourish, I want it to be fun and addictive with a large following and hopefully nice community. It kind of scratches that “sort of realistic but arcadey enough to be fun” -itch which I haven’t had in a long time. I only hope the devs make the right calls
Speaking of realism, what are your guys’ thoughts on the stamina system? I wouldn’t mind it gone, the game is slow paced enough with the current movements speed

It helps prevent people from constantly bunny hopping and what not so I’m okay with it for now.

why tho? The battle pass system is a viable monetization system. I’d say its the best of both worlds

Oh, that’s an interesting point. But I don’t think bunny hopping will be much of a problem with the inertia (which I’m also not really a fan of… feels sluggish). Well, one problem after another. I’m already making tangents when this topic is about the battlepass idea

Oh you can bunny hop just fine
I use it to jump around corners when I know there’s some dickhead sitting there.
I did it to @19945606 after he fragged me with his shotgun yesterday lmao

I feel like without streamers shilling it it wouldn’t work. That’s a big part of Fortnight’s model as well, peer-pressure.
WT is the only battle pass I’ve ever experienced - I haven’t played any of the other games mentioned.
And it is fine for me.
Sorry for all those of you who have bad memories from some other game, but that’s something you should learn to get past - as I understand it each game’s BP system is unique to the game and saying an Enlisted one will be bad because you didn’t like Fortnite or whatever is silly.
