With the old battle pass. We could leisurely play the game and unlock what we wanted on the track either as we go, or all at a single time. You could play the season, complete the pass and take a break. You could come back at the end of the season and unlock the pass since exp is saved. You could gain enough exp to fully complete the entire battle pass.
With reliquaries and the 99 cap on coins you are FORCED to keep playing. You can’t save a bunch of coins and unlock the entire pass before season reset. You have to keep playing and collect 99 coins by grinding for hours. You can no longer take your time. You can no longer wait to decide if you really want to unlock the pass. So, if you decided you wanted to unlock the battle pass on the last few days, you are out of luck because it takes forever to farm the coins you need.
Overall this system is bad. A band aid fix is to remove the cap on the coins so we can collect enough to unlock everything at once. Why do we need a 99 cap on the coins anyway?
I wont even mention how every single item in the reliquary has an obnoxiously slow loading screen. This ui feels like something out of Windows XP.

Wow, another topic about the same thing…
The 99 coins will be transferred to the next Reliquary. Season 9.
Buy what you want, Don’t buy what you don’t want.
If so many people are complaining about it them perhaps they should rethink this system. It’s terrible.

Considering the amount of people who “post on the forums” vs those Who DON’T… that’s hard to say.
But it’s what ever, you have options/choices, do what you will.
And here you are again, you can ignore my posts you know? 
Is the gist of the problem that the grind to unlock the entire pass is huge? (If so, idk what “99 cap on coins” means. Can you explain that part? I’m out of the loop.)
It wasn’t an improvement for you. Should have known that as soon as Mr. Mediocrity opened his mouth about it.
With the old pass, you collected exp and filled up a bar, unlocking everything along the way. You were able to fill the entire bar then unlock everything when you were ready.
With the reliquary, you don’t fill an exp bar, you collect coins. There is a cap of 99 coins before you have to spend some. To unlock everything in the reliquary it takes 200+ coins. You aren’t allowed to collect enough coins to unlock everything at once. With the old pass you could unlock everything at once. Now you have to play get 99 coins, play some more get 99 coins then play some more. Also if you wait until the final week of the season you will have to grind coins for hours.

It’s a terrible system just because they make the unlock slow as snail. And that the battle pass is obviously worse than previous seasons. Apart from that it could have been a good idea.
And where exactly is the problem of spending your coins directly? Where is the advantage of collecting everything and only spending it at the end?
What makes the system bad? Except that you have found a reason to complain again?
I believe their point is that you could wait out on buying the BP as long as you wanted. Then if you decide in the last week to buy it, you will unlock everything.
They are correct that the new system somewhat forces you to decide sooner whether to buy the BP or not because once you hit 99 coins you no longer gain any. Of course if you buy it you want to unlock everything but that’s not possible with 99 coins. So after buying you need to play a fair bit more to get the coins for the remaining unlocks.
I’m not sure the actual number for everything… bear in mind you can unlock all of the Belial one and the free ones in each Rq (do those cost coins?) so the amount of coins you would need to complete everything over and above the 99 coins you have saved is maybe 50 or so?
IDK… it’s not the worst thing, but it is a thing. Not nearly such an issue as removing 500 platinum from it, for me anyway.

I don’t think you get the point. Before you could complete the whole pass and then at the end decide to unlock it if you wanted to and get all the rewards. Benefit being you didn’t get in the situation of paying for something you didn’t end up unlocking.
This new system kinda has that where for any sub section you can buy individually and then get the rewards with 99 coins, but you can’t save up enough coins to then unlock the full pass at the discounted 1000 plat and then get all the rewards without playing more to earn the coins you were artificially capped on.

thanks for the explanation. Now i get it.
Of course it’s bad.
But how you know what I thought?
exactly. the platinum is already exorbitant, and then we make ourselves their live-service-ecommerce-slaves.
The problem is why the f*** are they trying to Force me to unlock things immediately instead of letting me take my time to decide? There was never a problem before now all of a sudden they had to add this coin crap.
I thought that was pretty obvious - because when players hit the cap some % of them will feel like they are wasting coins unless they buy the BP, and therefore decide to buy it so they have something to spend their coins on.
Hitting the cap is a sale trigger for the BP.
I’m sure that’s the reason they went with the coins system - I’m not saying we should like it.
Yeah but for me I don’t want most of the armors which are the most expensive. Instead I just went for the mounts, pet, and some other things and was pretty much done with it. You can tell they put far less time in the battlepass armors and weapons then they do in the super premium shop stuff selling for half a AAA game.
Clearly to Blizzard the more money you spend the better they treat you. Gotta live that high roller Diablo casino lifestyle one day.
