Re: Now you've MAX OUT Battle Pass, do you BUY the S7 BP ?
@asukojo
Well, I mean, you should buy it if you put the work in.
I did eventually, as well. I think I bought it around when the free pass stops giving you a reward after every level. Somewhere in the 40s or 50s. I forgot which.
At that point, I bought it, because I knew I could finish it. But, unlike S6, I didn't buy it Day 1, because I wasn't sure how messed up this new system would be. And it turns out, it's pretty messed up. I'm still not 100% happy with it for reasons I've mentioned on this forum multiple times.
As far as battle passes go in the future, I'm not sure. If we go into S8 and this system is exactly the same, then I know for sure I won't buy the pass right away. The reason is I am not really sure if I'd be able to finish it.
It's not even about having the time to play, it's about not having the want. This system really enforces daily play and challenge completion. Both things I'm just not too thrilled about. As far as daily play goes, some days I just don't want to do so. I want to do other things than play Apex (shocker, I know). And it feels like this game really punishes me for that now, and it sucks. And as far as the challenges go, because the system is so challenge heavy, I feel like every time I complete a match and don't Make progress on a challenge (For whatever reason), I'm not making any significant progress on my battle pass, which also feels discouraging.
These things just make the new system feel like a slog and I don't like them. I prefer the old system, because it was much more XP oriented. The challenges just felt like a nice addition to the progress I was already making. because every match, no matter how long or how short, would give me XP and therefore would be some sort of progress toward a battle pass level (Especially, with the 9/18/27/36/45/54 XP system). But with the Star system always taking 10 Stars/50K XP per level, once you run out of challenges to do, the grind is real. And it just doesn't feel good.
So, yeah. While I bought the pass and finished this season, I have no idea if I'll be doing so in season 8. Not if the system stays this way without any more tweaks. And the reason why, is all the stuff I mentioned above. But, that's just me. Everyone has their own opinion on this matter. I know that.
