exclusive crap
why did they have to make this a thing? what's the point of making rewards on the rift time-limited?
just explain to me, why.
all it is making is making players that want to move to pc lose all the stuff they have and not being able to earn it back because it was a timed-exclusive, even though they've been playing for thousands of hours and several years.
just ew

From what I last heard, and don't quote me on it, items in the rift (excluding charms) will appear in the store 6 months after the rift ends.
I think it's a good compromise to exclusives if what I remember is good.
Can this yikes meme die already? I hate it. Yikes is the worst meme of the last decade.
Most of the cosmetics will go to the store 6 months after the rift has ended so you can still get them after the rift.
Money.
Psychologically manipulating people into feeling like they're missing out on something in order to push them towards purchasing the Rift.
There is literally no other reason. If there is, it's a PR spin to make the system sound less manipulative.
the key word here is most.
fixed it for you <3
Yeah it sucks. I assume charms will be the exclusives. :/
Lol thanks <3
The only thing they have seemed to confirm is going to be locked to the Rift is charms
The Blight Nurse will probably be a Rift exclusive also.
If it wasn't, it'd be on the menu along with the others in the shop.
You will find people on this forum who want exclusive items. Why? I guess to feel important.
Incentive to get the premium pass from nurse mains however
They mentioned seasonal cosmetics coming out when the seasonal event comes out again.
While it might not be exclusive it's probably not going to appear on the store for a year
everything from the rift will be added to the store or probaply reappear at some point in other rifts (regarding charms).
the only exclusive item i would argue is the ultra rare one at the end, which imo is perfectly fine.
It's just charms...
Does it really matter if charms are exclusive to those tomes?
Yikes
I remember when people said "It's just a cosmetics store"
And now we're getting a battle pass.
Right now "it's just cosmetics"
But for how long?
It's a slippery slope argument for sure, but there is no evidence so far that shows this game is not following in the footsteps of EA and Activision when it comes to monitization.
The question really is.. how long until it gets to EA and Activision levels of absurdity?
I still don't see why it matters, like seriously... it's just charms on a hook or the hip of a Survivor, does it really matter if its exclusive?
You know that thing... that battlepass... If you complete the whole thing on the free track or the premium track than you'll get all of your Auric Cells back on the premium track... I say the free track also because if you completed either track, and buy the premium track or just already bought it at the start and finished it... than you'll make the 1k Auric Cells you spent back in interest.
And if you think its worth buying the Premium track to get something you could get on the free track, than you can and you'll unlock everything on both tracks (depending on how far you're in said track)
It's more rewarding towards people who will put the time into it, and if you can't for some reason than you don't really have to buy the premium track if you don't want to. And if you do, you'll get all the progress on the premium track that you did on the free track.
We're no where near the levels that EA and Activation has stooped to, and I doubt we'll ever get there.
"The question really is.. how long until it gets to EA and Activision levels of absurdity?"
If that ever happens I'm packing my bags and leaving pronto lmao screw that.
The word "Exclusive", while we're all using it correctly the implications of something that's exclusive now, but not exclusive later are purely PR spin.
The Blight Nurse and all other cosmetics are exclusive right now for $10 (if you complete the tiers). But "might not be" exclusive in the future for roughly the same price several months later.
Right now, when someone might just want to purchase the Nurse Blight skin can't because it's exclusive to the battlepass along with all the other cosmetics.
No, no one cares about the charms, but those aren't the draw of the battlepass. The cosmetics are.
In order to push sales of the current battlepass, cosmetics aren't available in the store, but are exclusive to the pass.
Thats the thing because its time gated and the last two weeks is only very hard master challenges that no ones going to complete in two weeks before the rift closes along with every other challange along with a 140 hour time commitment.
So yea you could hypothetically get your shards back and complete it and somalia could put a man on the moon but they wont and you wont complete the rift without paying for teirs one challenge is pallet slam a killer 5 times in a match in two years of playing this game ive never done that and tbh i dont think its going to happen.
i care about charms :(
honestly though, i see why most people are either meh or dont like the charms, but i do like them, which makes this battlepass more of a pain for me. i'll probably just do the free track then decide near the end, like everyone should.
IF you complete 68 tiers of the battlepass. 680 fragments, 350 IF you complete the entire archive (a task that is out of reach of many players) plus 264,000 player xp (800xp x 330 frags) which can be estimated at 500 xp per 12 minute match minus the number of matches it takes to complete the archive for the remaining 330 fragments within the time limit.
The only purchase guarantee a player has is purchasing the tiers they've already unlocked
"We're no where near the levels that EA and Activation has stooped to, and I doubt we'll ever get there."
I think many of us never imagined a battlepass would have been implemented in the game either... I love this game. I also greatly dislike with fiery passion many of the decisions that are made.
I guess we'll all see what happens to the game eventually.
I mean, Legacy skins are exclusive, so was the 2018 BBQ Summer event skins, and the 2018 Lunar event skins... But... you don't see those being sold on the shop by next week right? They said the same thing with those skins and they've never been brought back...
So how do you know if this is any different? Yes, it could be because its linked to money and those skins I mentioned weren't, but you've got to consider the possibility no?
I mean, to each their own. That's why the challenges are optional and not demanding. If you want the charms, and skins for an early grab than all the more power to ya, but that's kind of why its optional.
Yeah, you could argue its a manipulation tactic for "artificial panic" to occur and make you buy the pass to not miss out on the charms, skins, whatever. But the fact they even gave you an option to make back all your Auric Cells is a step in the right direction.
I doubt, highly, that it will ever go in the direction that EA and Activition has taken with its titles. The devs here actually care about their community, and you can see the proof with the progression of balance over the years since 2016... You can see it in the support team they have... and the devs that take their time to answer questions they honestly don't have to put time into answering.
Yes, the devs can make mistakes, but we're all human... at least they're actually trying, and I for one respect that heavily.
They messed up the order though. You usually release a skin and wait for everyone to buy it then nerf them into the ground. Tsk tsk.
If they are time limited, you are more likely to pay real money to advance the tiers. They also have specific sets split up in multiple levels. If you have 2 pieces of the set and the battle pass will end before you can get the last piece, you won't complete it unless you pay real money to advance the tiers.
They are just trying to make that coin, like everyone else.
