Haven't played this game in a little over a year now - Is this new battle pass format a joke?

PC General Discussion

So let me get this straight - you’re giving people less items to pursue in the battle pass (a near 70% reduction in cosmetics, to be exact), giving less silver as a return for invested players, and making half of the battle pass free.

And you’re still charging $10 a pop for this thing, never mind the $25 deluxe pass that appears to give… virtually nothing substantive? Do I have that right?

The new update is fun. I’m enjoying the paladin class.

The monetization of this game is whack, and only grows more explicitly greedy with each passing year it seems like. Diablo fans deserve better, especially considering what they’ve had to put up with.

unlike before, the platinum you get now from the reqliquary doesnt need you to purchase the battle pass tho.

like all games that offer battle passes, those who cling to vanity will notice something - the cosmetics are WAY better in the shop and COST more

the battlepass? its for the plebs

Cool, thanks for the $2 that, realistically speaking, only nets me an additional reliquary I guess.

They promised changes and such but havent seen much on it. Reliquary sucks. Way too much clicking and get less cool stuff. Bring back a better battlepass.

huh? this season the battlepass is pretty nice.

Don’t even get me started on the store. $25 for PET cosmetics? Really?

Are people actually buying these things? Insane prices for a premium-priced game.

I don’t even know what the purpose was. Battle passes have been a solved thing for awhile now. What exactly is this designed to improve?

mobile is a whole other ball game, especially on free to play android with unlimited ads…

you roam around in a game… with a lame character… you see a marvel type mega superstar walking and prouncing around with amazing titles, wings and sparkles

you are amazed, wondering how they achieved this status

turns out they’re in new delhi making 40 cents an hour through royalty gaming apps

and you’re just… out classed because you can’t pay rent

feels good man, I tell you

sure don’t buy, if you don’t care about vanity, makes sense

but the other argument is simply that the skins are expensive compared to other games.

I mean, depends on the wallet of each person

but… if skins were 5$ they’d sell more of them, that’s why android is more popular then apple, but I guess blizzard doesn’t want more money, I dunno, like I’d buy skins if they were 75% cheaper

Dont care, never bought any battlepass.

Wasn’t planning on it, but your meaningless contributions to the conversation are deeply valued.

Just knocking some sense into some that don’t use their brain before posting. kthxbye.

That applies to most of the whiny kids that post here. None of them think. They exist on the left side of the bell curve.

18

I don’t care for this BP design

Bring back the XP bar and BP ”Levels” or no money from me.

Not buying this new weird thing.

It is sad how many people are apparently buying the season passes, while being completely aware that they are being taken advantage of, and then wondering why it happens…
