Battle Pass completed
... two days ago. I didn't find it harder than any other season, easier in fact.
Anyone else?

@E9ine_AC ah yes, the stunning stellar point of, "Let's design the BP without any regards to the consumer, they shouldn't be playing other games anyway."
Congrats! Apparently you were completely fine with S7's initial BP changes, not the reverted ones.
- @JonStriker126 *Also, yes, I said the pass I paid for. Now, I know some people reading that will say "Well, you technically only pay for the first pass, every pass beyond that is free, due to the coins you get". And, to that I say: you're right... Provided you decide to never purchase anything else in the game, ever. But, if you buying anything more than that pass, you will have to stick more money into the game. And, I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely spend more than those extra 50 coins you get with the premium BP, each season. So, usually by the time the next battle pass rolls around, I need to buy more coins to get it, because I bought other stuff in the game.
This is a players choice. You can either buy the pass once or buy it multiple times. So if you choose to spend your coins then yea you will have to purchase the next. So all in all the theory of buying only 1 pass is completely true. Its then up to the player to decide if they want to keep this trend going or spend more money.
No matter the excuses given on this topic nothing can back up the claims of it being a time sink. You have how many on this topic commenting on how easy it actually is? Verse the dislikes. Yall are heavily out numbered here.
I have loads of challenges not even complete a total of over 2 weeks of challenges yet I'm done with the pass. Whats the problem here? I have multiple weeks not even done. Week 7, 0 out of 8 week 8 zero out of 8 week 1 through 7 I'm missing more then 24 challenges being done. Yet I'm done with the battle pass and hardly worried about challenges. - @pastaclown The game does care about the player on their game. Why should they cater their battle pass to ensure players can do other games battle passes?
This is of zero concern nor care to them. They provide a game and its system it should not cater to a player who wishes to play multiple games and multiple battle passes. I am not sure how you can even come up with a argument to back your claims up.
Players asking for extensions so they can finish a battle pass is like going to fortnite devs and saying hey can we ummm like extended the time frame of this so I can finish my apex battle pass? No they going to laugh in your face. Because their system is not designed around catering to another games system.

But that's not the reality for most of us who play the game. And therefore, our experience/take on the game will be different than yours. Doesn't mean you're right and we're wrong. Or vice versa. It's just different perspectives is all.
Also, as for what you said here:
"The game does care about the player on their game. Why should they cater their battle pass to ensure players can do other games battle passes?

Technically, that is all very true. But, companies need to realize that they aren't the only game in town (pun intended). And if people feel their time and effort isn't being valued, then they'll take that (and their money) elsewhere. That is the reality, as well.
- @pastaclown They dont care that people are trying to level other passes. Well they do, they dont want you to leave the game so they try and get you more engaged. It isnt dumb, its intelligent.
Can I ask you a question- Why do you care about the battle pass? What is in it that is worth the trouble, especially if the game is not worthwhile for you? - @JonStriker126 Similar question for you- What is in the pass you want or need?
I'm asking these questions wondering why I get it myself btw 🤣 @hayhor
Well, in general, I like having crafting materials. Especially when anything from collection events are so expensive without them. Also, I liked both legendary skins in this pass for the legends. And I liked the r99 skins too. I currently don't even have a legendary skin for the r99 so it would be nice to have one. I also did like some of the emotes, especially because I don't have any emotes for some of the legends that are featured this season.
And, if I continue to play the game, those are all things that I would like to have. And, obviously, none of this is really a need. I don't need to have any of this stuff, but I also don't need to play the game either. It's something that I like to do because I do enjoy the core gameplay. however, that doesn't mean I don't have issues with other parts of the game, like the current battle pass system.Also, honestly, I don't know what season 8 will bring and I'm just hoping that it's a better experience for me than this one. I won't really know if it is or isn't until it happens. As Ive said before, in other threads, season 7 is/was kind of a test season for me, in terms of the new system. I don't really like it as is, but maybe they'll make changes going forward. Who knows? I'm sticking around to see what they do.
@hayhor like @JonStriker126 said, it's the crafting metals, everything else is extra. The R99 skin is nice, but truthfully unimportant compared to the long-term investment of crafting mats.
If you played S2 and bought S2 pass, that's 10 bucks for 1200 metal. Every season after you got 1200 metals too. 2-7 is 5 seasons for 10 dollars for 6000 crafting metals total (I'm sitting at 4.7k) which saves you money on event exclusive skins should you want one.
Plus I'm still sitting around waiting for beneficial changes to pop up. There's nothing else to do except grind out achievements for Cyberpunk, but that's not 100% what I want to do with my time. Genuinely waiting for something to come out that I can sink time into, aside from Apex. Engaging challenges aside, the thing they should've focused on should they want more engagement from players, is having a fun, functional game. Not 7 seasons of poorly functioning audio / hit-reg / net-code / server stability / etc. etc. Fun is subjective, but functional is not.
@hayhorapparently, i'm not the only one
@JonStriker126"With this system, every time I have a match and I don't get something done for a challenge, I just feel like I'm wasting my time" exactly !
@pastaclown"Plus if you've grown disenchanted with playing through crappy hit-reg / audio / SBMM / net-code / server stability / quality of teammate like I have, playing the game is no longer fun, it's more of a chore."
@E9ine_ACeverybody plays several games, you're not paid by respawn or ea, so why do you try to be faithful to them wtf?
- @NaRnIaaa Dailies take like 2 games to complete. 10 free bp levels should cover a lot of days missed, so even if you dont play every day or play only a few games a day, you should still finish it. Also if the bp is shorter to complete it is easier, so the length and challenge are deeply connected here.
