Battlepass: Buying to Rank 100 and Why You Shouldn't

I’m honestly loving the BattlePass. My first, foremost, and ONLY complaint is that people can buy to Rank 100 within the first day of release. I get it, money is great. It’s just, wouldn’t it be more sensible to allow people a buyout option closer to the end of the season?

The progression isn’t even bad (in regards to BattlePass), but it’s not a very enjoyable experience when the game is barely a month old and people are, to put it bluntly, unnecessarily flexing. Isn’t the whole point of a BattlePass is that it’s a >pass< to justify more >battle<?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

People can do whatever they want with their money. Personally I think it’s a waste of 150$. Odds are people who spent that money are going to continue playing the game regardless so why waste the money if you don’t have to

No, its entire purpose is to make people buy it out. Thats why grinding is as slow as it is.

And then what happens when you buy the battlepass? There is nothing else to grind for so do you just stop playing the game? You can rank up 10 times a week with the challenges and the season will last until May 2022. You have plenty of time to “grind”

343 doesn’t care, you paid the monies.

That said, there’s weekly challenges to obtain, or rotating store stuff to buy.

That said, you don’t ‘need’ to have something to grind to enjoy a game. You could just play the game for the joy of playing it.

I think you’re saying two different things. I agree people should just play the game to have fun. However I don’t think the purpose of slow progression is for people to “buy” ranks. 6 months is well more than enough time to complete the battle pass. Hell I’m already rank 50 and it’s been 2 weeks

??? You act like “rotating stuff to BUY in the store” is a good thing LOL

“huhuhuh tHaT bEiNg sAiD just go spend more money on the store and stop complaining”

Where did I say anything in my post was a good thing?

I’m just saying there is indeed things to do after you’ve paid more money than the average halo game for arguably still less cosmetics than the last 3 halo games.

When you say stuff like this, you are clearly in support of people buying stuff in the store and spending time on weekly challenge unlocks. You also really like to say “that said” as if you were making solid points but all you did was tell people to buy from the store and grind more lmao

One of your “things to do” was to buy from the store LOL

I will never understand why someone would pay real money to rank up and obtain cosmetics that only your opponents will actually see in a game lol

Maybe I’m just old but that seems like the most unrewarding way to spend money.

Honestly put, its for the people that are not above average/elite in skill. That’s why most pros/competitive players don’t care about it or at least would never spend real money to unlock the stuff.

Checking the store, by definition, is still a thing to do. If you’re such a whale that you’d buy out all levels of the pass, going to the store to look for more ways to spend money is in fact, a thing to do.

But again, I’m not suggesting people actually do any of this. I’m saying this is 343’s intent. They want you to spend money and then spend more money.

Exactly, that is what is wanted by them. You are also encouraging it. Period.

Cool factor, and some “pride and accomplishment”, or what did EA say?

Well, completing a battlepass by purchase shouldn’t activate the achievement.
Completing a battlepass through purchases should show up on your profile how you completed it.

Now, let’s have i343 implement something where it matters.
Encounter and level skipping in campaign.
Let people pay to skip playing.

But does buying ranks make them feel better?
Like if I sucked at the game and then resorted to paying to make myself look better to other people I’d feel like even more of a loser lol

You weren’t good enough to unlock something properly so you had to resort to paying. That would just remind me how unskilled I am. Maybe some people’s brains are just wired different.

Yeah it’s crazy that you can pay to unlock that achievement.

If you pay the achievement should be called ‘Hey Big Spender’ or something like that instead.

What?
The thread is about people buying rank, which is why we’re here talking about it lol

Someone buying rank doesn’t bother me at all, I just said I didn’t really understand why someone would do it.

Buying battle pass levels and buying a rank are two completely different things.

A rank is what you get from playing ranked mode and nothing else.

Ranks = Bronze, Silver, Gold, Plat, Diamond, Onyx

Battle Pass TIERS= 1-100

My mistake with terminology then.
I was talking about battlepass levels and paying to level up that little number.

Yeah I understand now, you might consider editting the title of this thread from “rank” to “tier” or “level”
