At first I was excited, now I'm just angry

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

I’ve never pretended otherwise. Thankfully I’m not delusional, and I know that not all battle passes are predatory.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

theres the free battle pass which is currently implemented. then later on they will add tier 2 that costs 9.99 with better rewards

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

@Nobully-blackrock

they like it because it gives them an opportunity to access the things which they asked for… like more cosmetics, and items which have become unobtainable during the duration of the game.

Yeah, that sounds much more appropriate than “i like broccoli because it’s in my fridge”

@Nobully-blackrock

yeah… they’re subbed because they play the game.

And are more likely to stay subbed if they know next month might or does have juice for the squeeze.

@Titanspite-stormrage

then later on they will add tier 2 that costs 9.99 with better rewards

Speaking of conspiracy theories…

How is this a battle pass ?

Nothing about this content is paid for. It’s literally “get currency in game for doing in game activities”.

[Aprilìs-moon-guard]

Woops. I got the mount without even trying to finish the log out for the month… uh.

Are we still able to keep earning more currency for any further logs we finish, even after hitting 1000/1000 for the month? I’ve got a few more things I’d like to buy.

@Aprilìs-moon-guard

Nope, 2k is cap.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

so a battle pass. in genshin there is the free tier then the second tier has the better stuff

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

@Raiimir-stormrage

How is this a battle pass ?

“Battle Pass” has connotation that doesn’t fit, that’s why I call it a parallel rather than outright naming it a BP.

Also, Titan, are you ever gonna answer me?

@Snowpine-ghostlands

How many sources do you want, and what kind of variety? I can focus on their parallels, a battle pass, or I can go even deeper with studies that dive into player psychology.

[Aprilìs-moon-guard]

2k as in held, or 2k for the entire month? Because I’m sure I’ve gone past 2k currency, just not having held it all at one time…

[Titanspite-stormrage]

add the second tier and a 9.99$ price tag and its a battle pass

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

So now you’re saying it’s not a battle pass.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

its going to be the battle pass
are you being intentionally obtuse?

we got the free beta version they are testing out

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

@Titanspite-stormrage

are you being intentionally obtuse?

@Titanspite-stormrage

its a battle pass

@Titanspite-stormrage

its going to be the battle pass

I wonder who’s being obtuse here…

[Titanspite-stormrage]

i agreed with you that its a battle pass

at least, the roots of one

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

No, you put words in my mouth to which I capitulated. I said it’s a parallel to a battle pass.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

parallel is 2 lines going the same way , so in essence.

its a battle pass

[Vulpeslupus-moon-guard]

@Titanspite-stormrage

its going to be the battle pass

Sorry to umm interrupt your bantering but do you have any proof this trading post is going to be a battle pass thingie or this just another GD conspiracy.

[Raiimir-stormrage]

@Titanspite-stormrage

bfa soloable

Soloable.

[Titanspite-stormrage]

its a GD conspiracy but its lookin more true by the day

[Snowpine-ghostlands]

Ducks and robins are parallels. Trucks and sedans.

Parallels are not identical, in context.
