As long as the rewards are limited to cosmetics i think it is a great idea

it creates fomo " fear of missing out " and there is nothing healthy about that at all, completely against it.

I mean, not really, if you are impulsed to buy something you dont want to buy due to FOMO, thats a you problem, not the games. Never had FOMO with battlepasses, if I didnt see anything I liked in them, I didnt buy them. Im sure people do have this issue though, but that isnt really the games issue. I get your point tho.
Letās then blame the developers for adding skins with a limited offer to the store? I did not have time to buy a skin winged knight. Thatās not cool? Should I no longer play the game? Should I complain about the developers? Your statement is terrible.

thatās not the same as having to grind say 80+ hours of a battle pass within a given time frame for 1 item that you want from it
I was just about to bring that up. Limited time skins are already in the game, the FOMO is already here for those who have those issues. The fact that both he and I completely forgot about it is proof enough to reinforce my opinion, this games got terrible monetization in the sense that its almost like its not even in the game, the skins are terrible or mediocre, theres only like, 2 or 3 new things per catagory at most, and the currency is easily obtained through prime gaming anyways. Its not sustainable.
that is not fomo, you can buy them instantly there is no required grind to get the item you want
If you are not interested in this item - donāt play for this item. Why complicate everything? If you like the new armor skins, well, take a couple of hours a day for it.
you do the same with a battlepass, battlepasses arent that much of a grind, especially when most allow you to buy all the tiers. its still FOMO, cool skin I want in the shop goes away in a few days? I should buy it, cool battlepass items? I should buy the battlepass, same issue. The issue is personal, not a problem with the monetization design. Its just that one requires you to grind, giving you something to do, while the other is instant. Both make you shell out money in the sense that it wont be there forever, get it or its gone type deal.
Battlepass is a dumb ass thing that degrades every game it touches. It has no place in an mmo ever.

How so?
And how is it stupid? Explain your statement.
Because this is an mmo not a battleroyale or call of duty. It creates a mandatory chore of forcing people to log in daily to get max value out of a purchase. Its shit on every single level.
No. Just no. And it has no place in an mmo format at all. Dumbest idea Iāve ever heard in my life.

Things are simple, 6/7 years ago (before fortnite happen) you was paying for what the game offered at launch if you wanted more content you had to pay those content and for me it was great.
Donāt be a fool thinking all the gaming industry sudently decided to make all content after launch for free, itās because today every games are full of cosmetics, boosters and a battlepass.
Today skins are already made even if the game is still in pre-production (hello ubisoft)
Things are changing and even if iām not liking it, a game like new world need to adapt and a battlepass would be profitable for everyone and I would be happy to give 10/15$ each 3 months to support them.

You mean like timegating everything and having to do dailies? im suprised you are complaining about grinds in an MMO. What you just described about the battlepass is literally a main feature of this game.
we already have a āfree battlepassā in the form of a pvp track, its literally a battlepass with a twist offering 3 options per checkpoint, all being randomized, and it not being limited time.
This doesnt matter? a battlepass doesnt have to be restricted to FPS games or battle royales.
No thats not the same thing at all. TImegating is one thing and its annoying. But when you buy a battle pass you get stressed out because you have to log on every day and put in effort so you dont lose the items in the battle pass you paid for before the battle pass ends. Its dogshit. get over it and move on to the next idea

Pvp track is not a battlepass. it doesnt have a FOMO timelimit. It doesnt cost money everything even the best rewards are accessible for free. And it doesnt change per season.
You are peddling horseshit labeled as diamonds. go back to call of duty with your battlepass trash. This is an mmo not a seasonal fps

yes it is, just a little different. To maxmize your dailies, logging on daily or before the cap resets is literally why a lot of people even log on this game.
well true, thats a good point, except almost every battlepass offers a free track, and a premium, you can level up both regardless of whether you bought the premium or not. So you can stick with the free one, level it, then buy the premium and get all the rewards. If you dont make it, no sweat, u didnt buy the premium.
Why donāt buying the BP only when you have reached the 100 tier ?
I said that,
^ right there, but it follows a battlepass format. If you can unironically look at the pvp track and think āthe devs didnt take notes from battlepassās at allā then thats just denial. Both have tiers/checkpoints in which you earn a different form of XP to earn rewards from each tier. Only difference is this one is free, not time based, randomized, and offers 3 reward choices per tier.
