Re: Season-9 Battle Pass Trailer

That Wraith skin is ugly as sin, as far as I'm concerned. Nice to see them waste a space for it. I'll take what I can get for Rampart, though, but after the pretty great Lifeline and Bangalore skins in S8 this feels like several steps back. I still kind of have to get the BP for the Caustic dive emote, although I'd prefer something less comedic.

    @TheRealJayDee1 Agreed on Wraith. I have at least 5 Legendary skins for her I'd use before this one. When I saw that skin in the trailer last week I figured it was an event skin. And didn't Wraith just get a Legendary skin in the Season 7 pass?

    @TheRealJayDee1 Yeah the skin is a bit of a joke lol. And I’m confused as the rest of y’all on the theme and general appearance. Was definitely expecting more Titanfall-Esque looking stuff. I’m not sure if I will be buying the pass immediately, gonna be a busy summer so I won’t get as much playtime, think I’ll wait and decide if I care about the items when I can see them a tiny bit better. I’m a bit sick of the same legends getting skins over and over...

    Wraith skin is so mediocre (not even RARE quality), and to cover up, let put a mask on her face, well, it doesn't fit the theme as well.

    Respawn must be assign new on job training guy/lady  to do it, it's SO BAD !  ☹️

  • @Cheese9Man Do you guys think this was some kind of attempt to hook into Asian and Pacific Islander month in the US or something like that? I think that's in May. I'm struggling to make sense of it. Seems so obvious to use a TitanFall theme here.

    @ArchAngeL-PCX Oh I didn't know there's something like that in the US. I'm half Filipino and Japanese (but mostly grew up in the PH) and I kinda appreciate that you guys have a heritage month like that especially what was happening a few months ago against asians.

    As for the skins though, Japanese people could not care less if the skins are Japanese themed or not as long as they look good.
  • @Cheese9ManYeah I don't know how long they've been doing it. I noticed it from an Asian streamer's title line last night. I'm having a hard enough time processing that it's May already. lol

  • @asukojo lol that was a great commentary. His cracks at the weapon skins gave me a good laugh.

    He did clear up the theme though. It's an all Japanese them, which I'm sure is due to Valkyrie being a Japanese character.
  • @asukojo I love Ragg especially when he plays with iTemp, Sooxfar or Jankz.


    I noticed that Respawn steps up their battlepass game whenever the season lacks a huge update.
    Season 6 with no major new content - probably my favorite battlepass skins
    Season 7 with a new map, Olympus - meh/bad skins
    Season 8 just with KC update - good looking skins
    Season 9 arenas mode - lackluster cosmetics

    @ArchAngeL-PCX that is fair enough but i was more hoping it was linked with the event like the entire infestation thing happening on olympus

    Respawn have basically admitted they're pretty obsessed with Japanese aesthetics. Titanfall was riddled with them, you see some elements in olympus...we've already got weapon skins and legend skins with said theme.

    This was inevitable. XD

    Most dev studios are like that when they want to have real world reflections for an ongoing game. Not just Japanese but Asian in general cause those countries (at least the side you see on the TV) are breathtaking. Japanese is just heavily done cause you know instantly that it got it’s influence from Japan.

    Some things just don’t roll over so well tho... xD. Like Wraith...
