So many people do it that epic made hiding your levels a thing, because kids said they were getting bullied for being 100 the first week

That’s kinda hilarious

u/LeaveArtistic137 5h ago

💀that's what I did, I was talking to someone on discord we were running squads and there was some random kid he was level 200 already during C5S4 within 2 weeks of the battlepass and he left the match

1

u/TravisV_ 7h ago

That’s not why. The reason they did it is because if you bought levels directly you’d be able to get like 4 rewards for 150 vbucks. They wanted rewards to be bought separately per pass and in order to do that, you can’t buy levels.

there was a really funny reddit post at the beginning of Chapter 6 of a guy 1 week into the season feeling like he wasn't going to finish the Battlepass by the end of the season which was in 3 months so he panic bought as many levels as he could and was making the post basically fishing for support of his decision

u/BlueberryMiserable96 Wild Card 9h ago

The only time I did that was with my first battle pass in season 5. It was the first season I played and I was really really bad at the game like a true noob. I either spent the v-bucks you'd get in the battle pass for things in the item shop or to buy levels (I wasn't smart enough to realize that in the pass you get enough v-bucks to buy it again next season and I also was like "yeah who cares I've started spending money on item shop skins at this point why not buy even the next pass with money?") and by the last day of the season I had completed only 4 weeks of challenges and I was at level 96 and there wasn't a challenge I was able to complete because I was too noob (it took me the entire season to complete the challenge "get 3 kills in a single match") so I had to buy 1000 v-bucks to buy the last levels

u/Death_of_Evangelion 8h ago

I've done it on occasion if I know i probably won't be playing enough that season to outright finish it

The argument would be that you aren’t paying for a whole battle pass. You’re paying for the ability to earn those rewards in a set amount of time

With similar logic u could argue u aren’t paying for the battlepass for exclusive skins but skins at an exclusive price lol

u/allthepinkthings Splatterella 1d ago

Now, you would be correct as the BP can come back after 18months. Before their whole selling point was the BP was exclusive to this moment in time and will never come back.

u/Master_Chief_00117 Hybrid 1d ago

I could care less about the super styles, but my brain just drops games sometimes so I don’t level anything up then relizes I didn’t play so I spend too much time trying to get all the extra items thar they decided to spread out further.

9

u/ArwingElite 1d ago

One of the games in my rotation is Super Animal Royale. Its a top-down battle royale that the devs update very often. Whats cool is their Battle Passes are always accessible. If you miss a season the pass costs a little more (which is fair) but you can always go back and buy it. I keep this game in my rotation because I know I can wlays go back to it.

u/Aicethegamer 9h ago

Same which is why I don’t buy the passes anymore.

I only buy things that’s are permanent now. If I can lose it, then I won’t buy it.

It was advertised how it works before purchase, when you purchase it you agree to those terms of only having until those specific dates to unlock them.

First time I've seen this implemented was with Halo Infinite, and it is amazing. You can even buy previous passes you may have missed.

Now if only Infinite was worth grinding....

2

u/Indifferent9007 11h ago

I downloaded it and played a few games because of the ability to get previous passes and then deleted it. When I was a kid, there was a YMCA I went to that literally had a dedicated LAN Halo room for kids to play against each other. I doubt that’s a thing today

u/StormStriker42069 1d ago

So something similar to how halo infinites pass system works, once you buy it you own it and can finish it whenever

60

u/EcnavMC2 1d ago

This isn’t really controversial to anyone except Epic themselves. Maybe make it so that you have to pay for it again once the season is over, make it so you can only get a certain amount of levels (probably around 50 or something) per payment, and make it stop progressing the current pass, bada bing bada boom, new income source.

Totally, they have all these old cosmetics (and seasons) they could make more money off of.

Yeah, I agree with this. I didn’t finish Mega City BP.

If they really cared, they could let you pay an extra 800 or something. Then they’d make a profit of it.

u/toilet_for_shrek 1d ago

Negates the battle pass business model. It's supposed to be grind-heavy because Epic wants player retention throughout the season. If you give people what is essentially infinite time to complete a battle pass, then players will probably feel less obligated to play as frequently or as long since they know there's no rush to level up anymore. 

10

u/OoooohYeahCanDo 1d ago

Do they make more money if I play 5 times a week than if I play once a month? Or do they only make money when i buy the pass?

Think of all the people who don’t buy the pass because they know they won’t have the time to make it worth the money.

24

u/glyiasziple 1d ago

in theory the more you play the more you want to spend money on the game. if you dont play enough to complete the battle pass your probably not playing enough to warrant spending money in the shop

6

u/azurejack 1d ago

If i may make a small point, i skipped the "icecrophone" the first time i saw it in the shop. After i got sub-zero, i bought the frozen fillis (ice drums i probably misspelled) yesterday when the icecrophone came back, i picked it up, specifically for sub-zero.

If i was 100% sure i could get sub zero (i didn't know the season would go on this long or how quickly XP builds, seriously i maxed out in like 2.5 weeks) i would have gotten the icecrophone the first time. The same goes for any themed stuff. I got the current OG pass for the raven stuff, because i got gifted Ravage as one of my first skins. And picked up the fatal pinfeathers? Wrap the one in the bird stuff in yesterday's shop update... specifically for ravage.

The more i know i can get, the more likely i am to buy stuff for that theme. Halloween stuff is an autobuy for me. XD.

12

u/DerekMilewski Spider-Man (No Way Home) 1d ago

Actually, no because you won’t be checking the item shop you won’t be helping their player count if you only play one day a month you’re definitely not buying anything and you’re definitely not gonna be buying the battle pass

2

u/OoooohYeahCanDo 1d ago

More often than not, the battlepass is much better value than any shop item. But I see your point.

However, as far as player count goes, and eyes on the shop etc. Here’s a counterpoint:

I’ve just now reached lvl 200. I’ve maxed all the current passes. And aside from the next festival pass , the new content is a whole month away. I’m more inclined now to check the shop every now and then on the website, and go play another game for a bit.

I bought the pass with Mando in, and then found myself unable to play for the whole duration. But if I still had access to that pass I’d be playing everyday between now and next season trying to unlock my Beskar armour. (just as an example). If keeping player count high was important, then they’re missing a trick by not letting us finish old passes. Just a thought.

1

u/DerekMilewski Spider-Man (No Way Home) 1d ago

But like you said for the Star Wars season stuff if you just stopped, playing it the whole season and not even doing a single challenge that doesn’t help epic have any players. If it was something smaller like Marvel rivals where they’re just gonna give costumes then yeah they could afford to have battle passes last forever but epic is a 100 player battle Royale they need players that’s why we have item shops every two weeks we get a big update if anyone could just buy the battle pass and then just be done with the season their player accounts would go down. People would not be buying from the item shop. That’s why they’re making people wait. Two years to get all the new battle pass stuff since chapter 5 season four because if they just made it a week, then people would just buy the one skin they want to be done. Like you said your level 200 but there’s obviously gonna be some more free rewards coming up either next week or the week after there’s gonna be updates to keep you playing and we should be getting like adventure time next week which is gonna be a big collaboration and the festival pass. I’m level 180 and I have tons of challenges that I haven’t done. I’m waiting for my group when I’m done with my challenges I’ll be 200 but they’ve had me online for most of the season. There’s only two more updates so they got my money because I bought a skin.

u/Deceptiveideas Leviathan 1d ago

Do they make more money if I play more often

Nobody wants to play a dead game. By having an active player base, people will spend more money on passes/crew/cosmetics.

Think of all the people who don’t buy because they don’t have enough time

These players are low priority for epic. If they have no time, they’re likely not going to be spending money on the game as much as someone playing it every day.

5

u/EvYeh 1d ago edited 17h ago

Every day you day is a day you check the item shop, a day you are advertised to, a day you're just a click away from spending, a day you have to stare at their predatory currency model.

2

u/Maruf- 1d ago

That number is likely much smaller than you think. The "this is how it is for me so surely a billion other people agree" mentality is why we always hear the vocal minority, but minority nevertheless. The fact this post even exists and almost every reply in agreement suggests that despite your proposition, way more DO buy the pass not knowing if they'll finish it or not - go one step further in that specific group and there are those who will panic buy levels to finish if they feel they're out of time.

1

u/ComfortablePatience Galaxy 1d ago

Do they make more money if I play 5 times a week than if I play once a month?

Yes. Maybe not from you specifically, but on the aggregate, yes. Each time Little Timmy opens the shop, that's one temptation to buy something. Temping every day versus once a month is the decision Epic makes with these design choices. Every single f2p game does this because it works. If anything, Epic is pretty lighthanded with the predatory techniques. Gacha games use a similar concept, but 100x more aggressively

2

u/Linnieshutter A.I.M. 1d ago

The fear of not getting to max level in time, which I only started feeling after seeing enough instances of Epic nerfing XP, leads me to use whatever exploits or, if there are none, strongest low-effort grinding methods are available to get there in 2-4 weeks. If anything it makes me play much less than otherwise.

1

u/-Elgrave- 1d ago

Terrible, anti-consumer take. Newer games with battle passes have implemented an eternal system to continually earn rewards if you bought the pass in the first place. Marvel Rivals is the most recent, and popular, example. I'd argue it's even a way to retain players as many get disinterested if they lost the chance to get something they paid for

8

u/Deceptiveideas Leviathan 1d ago

Marvel Rivals is a bit different.

First, your progress will get reset once the season ends. So you have to grind all the way back to page 8 to unlock page 8 of rewards if you didn’t finish the pass. People are in for a shock for how grindy that’s going to be.

Second, Marvel Rivals does not give you back your currency the way Fortnite does. Fortnite gives you a surplus, rivals you have to sell out ~$3-4 every season if you want the paid pass.

1

u/Death_of_Evangelion 8h ago

I don't think you have to grind all the way back up to page 8. You don't lose anything that wasn't finished. And once you do finish the pass every 1000 purple currency can be turned to 100 blue currency used for actual purchases. If your doing enough of the quests you can get a good chunk of currency.

1

u/Deceptiveideas Leviathan 6h ago

u/Strange_Kiwi__ 10h ago

Marvel Rivals does this and honestly, it’s amazing.

I’d’ve bought every pass since I started if we could progress them after the season.

How would it work with crew though, is my question?

1

u/Death_of_Evangelion 8h ago

From my understanding, there is already something in the works to bring back old crew cosmetics.

1

u/Strange_Kiwi__ 8h ago

I meant what about people who got passes through Crew.

I’ve been subscribed since mid 6-1, having bought that and the MIKU pass, but nothing else since Jan 30th.

Should I still be able to progress those passes afterwards like the post is suggesting? I never bought the passes, but I had them.

1

u/Death_of_Evangelion 7h ago

In that case I'd say no because it was a special deal that you received by being in their 'crew club' the moment you unsubscribe you lose access to the passes you had anyways and would need to actually buy the individual passes if you wanted to continue progressing them. It's basically a member exclusive included with that subscription and not the same as outright buying the passes. Much cheaper too. However I also think if you were subscribed long enough and were paying crew during the entire duration of the pass that was active you should be able to keep that pass you had paid the whole duration for.

5

u/belle_enfant 1d ago

Not controversial at all. As crap as Halo Infinite is, this was one thing they did better than anyone else. You buy a pass, it's yours forever to work on. Every game should follow suit...but we know FOMO rules all.

u/VegetaRS Shadow 20h ago

We used to be able to do that actually. Well, mainly if you have a skin unlocked already from an old pass you could earn exp in future passes to get their styles but at some point Epic changed it. That's how I finished Drift and Lynx after their seasons were over.

1

u/i-dont-hate-you 9h ago

unfortunately evolving styles is not something that epic has brought back since then

3

u/other-other-user 20h ago

Isn't the whole point of the battle pass to make you want to grind the CURRENT season? If you miss an old season, that's epic punishing you for not playing enough, they don't care how many skins you have, they just want you to keep paying and keep playing.

It's a legal issue. When you bought the battle pass, you entered an agreement to perform whatever tasks in the allotted time frame to obtain the cosmetics and Epic agreed to make them exclusive to that contract.

There are lawyers who would find 1 or 2 people to sign a class action suit against epic.

This is how I thought the BP was gonna go after they introduced battle stars but nah

u/Jordyissappig 1d ago

no just play the game getting xp is so easy

u/firesale053 Power Chord 1d ago

To an extent we used to be able to, but that was too consumer friendly for epic

u/NOSWT-AvaTarr Meow Skulls 1d ago

I agree but y'all don't realise the point of the battle pass is the sunk cost fallacy right? You buy the pass, then you feel the need to grind it in order to not lose what you paid for, leading you to play the game more often, leading you to buy more stuff.

1

u/JoinedForSESHShirt 1d ago

nah, if they don't wanna bring back old passes then they shouldn't do this either.

people love to tell others they should've just been playing when they missed an older pass, so I'm just giving that energy back

u/Darkbossjayden777 1d ago

Dont know how this is controversial I want my goddamn Spider-Man And dr Strange skins

Got BOTH their battle passes and COULDNT finish them cause I had school

And was focused on that

u/chizzipsandsizalsa 23h ago

Just play super red vs blue for like an hour a day. You’ll level up that pass fast

1

u/Chargercord069 23h ago

I personally love this. I didn't finish the omega lights but if they brought the old challenges, damn I'd be happy. No not "get to level 80" translate whatever level 80 was then to today's levels and make players get to that level in OG only

u/AreAFatMother Trunks 23h ago

Not a hot take, that would be peak as fuck.

Now, pray to the heavenly chicken sandwich.

u/youmadbrad Abstrakt 23h ago

Plenty of other games let you. Epic likes to look after the " but I'm am og and should get a extra style because I brought it the 1st time" people

1

u/Tardis5474832 22h ago

I wish I finished the Chapter 1 S6 and S8 battepasses when I had them but I was like 12 so I didn't really do Challanges :/

1

u/birdcreeper22 22h ago

We should be able to have access to buy all BP and able to grind them all. Only 1 "main" BP selected at a time. They aren't going to lose money and is not an F you to players that have them. What's there to be upset about them ever returning? There is none.

1

u/Onenoobiieboi 22h ago

PLEASE. I could finish C1S8 and get my queen Luxe😩

1

u/ChucksterRay 22h ago

If they allowed battle passes to come back and if it was unlockable by leveling it can’t be done at same time as your current season pass and also there must be a time limit on when you can complete it, one shot finish all of it or never get a second chance

This would objectively only benefit the players. But yeah Marvel Rivals is doing this and I fully support it

1

u/FactsKellerman 20h ago

Nah they shouldn’t. If people didn’t play back then aren’t able to get those battle pass, people who didn’t finish them shouldn’t be able to get rewards they missed out on either.

1

u/LonelyWolf023 20h ago

Totally agree, missed out on the chapter 2 remix skins

1

u/Crackly_Silver_91 19h ago

I really dislike how in Chapter 1 they said that any progression skin would be able to be grinded for in later seasons, but they ended up removing it after chapter 9-X because I vividly remember getting full Calamity like that, and then one day seeing how I could not do another one.

1

u/Makiiatoo 19h ago

if you really want this then spam epic. I wish we had this option cuz it makes paying for marvel rivals more worthy

1

u/DarkstarBinary 18h ago

I think we should be able to get older passes, or rather grind old content. Especially uf we are paying for it. He'll I'd still be playing fortnite tycoon if I had stuff to collect.

u/NorthernOrca2 15h ago

They won’t because they want money

To the people who bought their accounts yes

u/GametheSame 11h ago

I want omega and carbide lights :(

1

u/Ghjjiyeks 11h ago

Controversial? Buddy, what year are you living in?

I guarantee you that anyone, and I mean anyone, would love the opportunity to finish the battle passes they never truly finished, especially the ones from C1S2 to C5S3, as all other passes after that one are bound to come back in a year and a half’s time.

1

u/KoriJenkins Stealth Reflex 11h ago

Not really controversial imo, but they're clearly not taking any risks with BP content.

Epic hasn't exactly fared well with the other lawsuits against them, and a lawsuit over 6 years of BP content that encompassed the majority of their revenue from this game in that time could legitimately kill its profitability for years.

I suspect they made the decision a long time ago not to bring BP skins back in any capacity, through any means. Perhaps they even decided it because, by some metric, RR and AAT didn't sell well with certain demos when they returned, I do not know.

1

u/FinesseofSweats Blue Team Leader 10h ago

What you said makes no sense since battle passes going forward arent exclusive anymore.

1

u/ToxicShock567 9h ago

One of the reasons the marvel rivals battle pass so good

1

u/Extension_Guitar2148 9h ago

In the policy or something it says “up to _____ rewards” so it would have to be from now on

1

u/Spaketchi 9h ago

The word in question here is "own"

u/Ok-Still6696 9h ago

Havent maxed c1s5 and c1s6 bp's this would be amazing to do

1

u/b0ks_GD Double Helix 9h ago

You have no idea how long i've had this same exact idea

1

u/RybatGrimes 8h ago

Controversial opinion: OG should only come around once a year for a month where anyone can buy 1 past battle pass and complete it + the new OG BP for players who may already have older content.

2

u/MrEdu813 5h ago

Your idea doesn't sound bad. It sounds good to me. But as always, there's going to be a comment like, "No, they don't deserve it because they're not OG" or "You lost it, womp womp."

1

u/RybatGrimes 4h ago

Thanks! Yeah, haha, there’s always going to be the gatekeepers but whatever, Epic can do something to bring stuff back and still have it be limited or exclusive in a way, they just don’t want to.

I know some people are tired of hearing about it, but I hope people keep bringing it up until Epic does something, because I’m tired of being locked out of content I’d be willing to pay for just because I didn’t play and understand how limited things were in the game 5 years ago.

1

u/Swipwastaken 7h ago

I would personally like this. I missed out on chapter 1 season 9 battle pass and return, I didn’t get my favorite skin that I just loved so much.

1

u/GypsyTony416ix Munitions Major 7h ago

But, But, But then epic wouldn’t make money, we can’t have that guys!!! 💔💔💔

1

u/GypsyTony416ix Munitions Major 7h ago

No but Fr, epic wouldn’t allow that, and if they did which they’ll never do, they’d remove the extra v bucks too, also keep in mind they love to do FOMO on players so everyone can keep playing, if they make battle passes permanent then nobody would really play because “oh I don’t gotta level up 100-200 times since the Battle pass is permanent”

1

u/Silver-Meteor1115 Ghost 7h ago

So, kinda like how Marvel Rivals battle passes work?

1

u/titannish 6h ago

Marvel Rivals has literally said FOMO doesn't work with their monetization. They want players to enjoy the game so when you buy the Rivals pass, you can finish the pass in any season. I think Fortnite should do the same.

1

u/LittleDoge246 Scourge 6h ago

"CONTROVERSIAL: fomo is bad"

this subreddit has exactly one post on it that will be repeated to infinity

1

u/Matweus 5h ago

They could sell old passes in a similar way to Sucide Squad, Minecraft Dugeons.

If you had Fortnite Crew you would have all access to previous Passes, but if you don't have the crew you would pay a Higher price than when was originally released

1

u/EchosWarpath 5h ago

Lololol and how would you do that if half the styles are tied to quests that require things that are not in the game anymore for example you could never get golden Lara croft due to the boss not on the island anymore nor is the mini poi where the boss was found... and many skins from passes required shit like that to acquire😂 some people don't think rationally what so ever.

1

u/HannahOwO88 Raven Team Leader 2h ago

“Controversial” and it’s the same fuckass opinion that gets posted here every hour 😭 karma can’t be this important

1

u/HumaniodinTraining60 1d ago

The most annoying thing is, if you have the crew pass, and you start to get the battle pass and you cancel the crew pass It should still let you finish your battle passes

2

u/SensitiveEffective11 1d ago

Not really when I pay for Netflix for a month and just before it ends I start watching a show only to fail to finish before the subscription expires I don’t expect to get to continue to watch that show just because I started it

1

u/tom-of-the-nora 1d ago

Hot take, battle pass shouldn't expire, and if you own one, it's yours, and you can work on it after the season ends.

(I do not hold this opinion for all games, just games like fortnite where cosmetics are offered. If in-game resources are offered, see mobile games that have a 2 week pass turnover, those passes should expire.)
