I am confused . there is basically 0 content for this battle pass.
why am I paying 10$ for this battle pass?
can someone tell me . I don't see anything I can earn buy paying 10$ ?
is this a crowd fund me page or something ?
This is actually quite phenomenal. 100 items, not a single thing I want.
14 of those 100 are Apex coins rakeback. I really don't mind getting everything I paid for it back.
The legendary and purple boxes are probably the best items there. Havoc skin is nice. Everything else - meh.
Based on pricing on boxes (100/box), the legendary box alone is worth the 1000 coins. Although got to get lvl84 to get it and by that point, most of apex coins will be back too.
The price is reasonable, but contents are really meh.
Got my pass on day1 anyway - crappy free stuff is still free stuff.
Also, for anyone who hasn't claimed their 1k free apex coins for having Origin access, the price of the battlepass is technically 4 eur (1 month of basic access), not 10.

Totally agree. I can’t stand fortnite but at least their season has new and abundant offerings. Map changes and stuff like that. If you read between the lines on this we get 5 weapon skins an octane skin and a bunch of season level badges. That’s it.
People keep commenting on fortnite. Fortnite had literally nothing for months. It's been out an age. How can you compare a 1 month old game with fortnite which has been out a long while... What are you all thinking?

Because that is the nature of business, not only in the game industry. When you come later to the game (so to speak) you have to provide more out of the gate than those already established. Or, if that isn't feasible, you have to provide what you offer in a better way than they do.
It was the same during the height of the MMO industry. WoW came along and did it better than EQ1, SWG, and the other MMOs of the 2004 industry era. As a few years passed, and WoW continued to expand, other studios jumped into the genre because they saw it, thanks to WoW, as a means to print money. But they put out games that were on par with WoW at its launch, and expected to compete with WoW as it was then, at that point in time.
And a majority ultimately failed to achieve investors' goals. Gamers at the time cited how it offered less than WoW. And arguments were made that WoW didn't offer those thing at its launch, either. But the point was: WoW didn't have to. It wasn't competing with WoW's success. It was the success. Those that came after had to compete with WoW as it was in that specific moment of time.
It doesn't matter what Fortnite had at launch. Fortnite is the WoW of the battle royale genre. Apex, Firestorm, Realm Royale, whatever the new BR game, has to compete with Fortnite of 2019, not Fortnite of 2017.
Get Origin Access for 3,99 -> 1000 Apex coins welcome bonus.
Get the season pass. unlock stuff (including 5 Apex packs, which are worth more than Origin Access)
Get level 100. -> 1000 Apex coins -> next pass for free
With other words, if you enjoy the game and spend money on apex packs, you are actually making a good deal here.
Enjoying the game a lot so far. And see myself playing this heavily for a few months.
So Season 1 is a given for me. It's nice earning something for playing, and essentially paying for Season 2 if you save them Coins.
Have to agree- hugely disappointed with what’s on offer, and also the amount of XP to go up just one level is ridiculous for a casual player. Feel they are just trying to make people buy the levels when they get knowhere.

What the hell else do you expect? Compare the game with where competition was years ago? What kind of sense would that ever make? If you are new it doesn't mean you shouldn't be judged on you merits. Epic basically invented the battle pass. All Respawn had to do was to copy it.
Ppl on here acting like apex needs to reinvent the wheel with their BP. It’s plain to see what has worked and is working. Their season pass is a grind for badges and a couple packs for 3 months... the 295000 xp to rank the season is an obvious cash grab to force casuals to buy levels cause they will never make. The issue who wants to buy a level to get a season badge?? Come on Lololol. Is apex season 1 pass the biggest troll of 2019?

It cannot be a good deal if there's nothing that's really of value to you. It's like buying stuff you'll never use on a sale. In this case it's sort of passable because yeah you can get it way cheaper by buying Origin Access (and get a month of Origin Access as a bonus) and because you can get all of these coins back and get potentially infinite season passes this way if you play enough (and then if you're in Belgium you actually get enough crafting materials for a legendary of your choice). But it's definitely not something to be happy about. At all. The big problem in Apex seems to be that most of the stuff you get is for legends/weapons you don't use. IMHO all of those sub-legendary skins should really not be called skins. They are color schemes that should be attachable to any skin on any gun/legend.
