Levelling up after 100 is pure pointless and these white knights. This really has greed all over it. Give us like a box every 3/5 levels after 100. Tell you what give me the game for £40 and all the skins instead.
Originally I was of the mindset that I would give this issue a pardon. However the lack of transparency with the battle pass has turned torturous. It's still too early to say that they lied about a March release but getting this far into the month without any new significant information is a bad look. It comes across as either poor planning or a sly attempt to string along fans at the expense of those who have been keen to pay since launch.
The current store options are trash. Whether you choose to buy cosmetics directly or invest in apex packs, you will end up with very little if you were to only pay somewhere in the region of $60. After that you will be right back at square one earning only the slow, limited drip of items that all of the other free players get.
There's a layer of guilt tied to the fact that I've been enjoying this game without paying squat and ever since launch I have patiently waited to hear if the battle pass is indeed the answer. I want to give Respawn money with some assurance that I'm not going to end up with overpriced or unwanted junk.
Even without the release date there are other aspects to the battle pass which should have been answered by now, if only for the purpose of damage control. The longer I wait the more I worry that the pass isn't going to offer much, and that the price is going to turn out to be something ridiculous. Again it's not a good look in light of EA's past controversies and recent media storms surrounding other big players in the industry (like Dead or Alive 6's $93 season 1 pass).
All we know about it so far: It has a name. It's supposed to be this month. It will involve an unannounced degree of grinding before reaping the rewards.
TELL ME THAT THIS WON'T END UP BEING THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF 2019 SO FAR!
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES? EITHER A DEAL WORTH WAITING FOR OR ANOTHER OBVIOUS JIM STERLING VIDEO!
I love games that keep me about because of their solid gameplay but when the game only offers Kings Canyon with randoms, cosmetic incentives are the next best thing.
