Still no significant battle pass changes

It’s been half a week since the launch of season 7 and still no real effort had been made to make this seasons battle pass more accessible. I’ve been committing my usual time investment into this ga...

@DoYaSeeMe What bling are you talking about? The BP is not free, we pay for it. I paid for it like in all the other seasons thinking that i will just play the game as i want to play it and reach lvl 110 doing so, like i did in the last 2 years.If Respawn would announce that they totaly redesigned how the BP system works i for sure wouldn't have bought it.

You saying that we need to grind for stuff that we pay money for is just wrong IMO. But as said Respawn will see how the next season BP will work out for them if they continue to use this model. After all it's their business and they know best, but i know for sure they wont see my money for BP anymore and i am sure i am not the only one.

And also stop calling ppl that complain "crybabies" (indirectly) as we are voicing our opinions and this is what forums are for.

@Awake984 Don't fret, he probably just likes doing challenges. For everyone else who is missing the point, I stated it in my previous reply and will do so again. People who rely on XP and not doing challenges at all, their XP progression has been cut by 4 times and then reduced to 2 times after backlash.

If you enjoy doing challenges that's good for you, don't tell someone else why they should be forced to do challenges that they don't enjoy. You wanna talk about grinding? People relying solely on XP(old) system and just playing the game to complete the BP play more than you do, so you aren't the right person to lecture us on grinding. Peace out.

    @BaldWraithSimp It's just that i really don't understand why ppl are ok with such practices and are ok with getting less for more. 

    But as you said to each his own and i believe Respawn/EA will soon see the * up with less revenue from the BP, after all it's all about the money in the end.

    @BaldWraithSimp Are you feeling forced to "Play [X] Games", "Survive [X] minutes", "Outlive [X] opponents", "Collect [X] crafting materials", "Craft [X] items"? I strongly doubt it. The increased frequency of this kind of challenges will probably make up for the 2.3 levels/ week less than the previous system and, as I said before, they will probably reintroduce the double XP events.

    Also, it's possible that they get what they wanted out of this backlash 🙂. People reluctant to buy the BP in the first weeks, putting a bit less strain on the servers, then realizing that it's a non issue really and filling up the queues in the second half of the season. And so, Apex will slowly "decline" into becoming a billion-dolar-in-annual-revenue game 🙂

    @DoYaSeeMe

    If it’s a billion dollar game

    there’s no excuse for changing a system to force customers to buy more battle pass levels

    There’s no excuse in lying to customers and not giving them what they were promised (ea pro not giving battle passes anymore),

    There’s no excuse in such poor quality updates, constant bugs and audio problems that don’t get fixed season to season

    There’s no excuse to rehashing events and simply recolouring their skins and instead of offering those in game to earn or for legend tokens they resell them at full price

    There’s no excuse to having such poor communication with the community on problems that we as a community have

    There’s no excuse for any of it. If they want to be treated like AAAdevs working on a billion dollar game, start acting like it

    Respawn change it to get a lot of money from BP.

    While few hardcore players don't have problem to level up (playing everyday, doing all challenges, playing non-stop), majority of people (90%) simply can't or not willing to do such thing.

    BP suppose to bring community together, bring fun, reward and challege at same time, but at current state, it tear us apart.

    They definetly need to make change, so let see what they come up this Wednesday.

    After 1 week of data (level progression & distribution, and how only few people buy BP), they can see how much damage has been done to their financial and they will adjust accordingly.

    But at that point, it will be damage control.

    I wish they didn't wrecked it in 1st place since Season-7 could be the great season for long time.
