Introducing Kirac's Vault Pass

Not a fan of this price point nor the general trajectory of this business practice. This delves into terrible FOMO practices and is absolutely among the worst monetization practices of the industry.

GGG, titans can fall. Good will can be lost.This battle pass won't be the end of PoE, but don't let it be the first domino in that line.

PS: Also, how is it, 2 leagues in a row, it feels like you've completely abandoned the league? These bare minimum changes are pitiful. Archnem has absolutely failed outside of league start and MAYBE ssf? It is a mechanic that both feels and plays like a complete afterthought. I dunno honestly, but please, do better. At least, communicate. Radio silence since you guys went into crisis mode on 3.15.

Nice joke, GGG.

Why the fuck is everyone crying? no1 is forcing you to buy, it DOES NOT give you any items or power in game, its just visual, i think its cool if you have the money to spend, stop crying about everything

I wish that aurora effect would be like side effect that would flash using ANY shield skin.

Between the poor content quality of leagues, their follow up on performance and stability issues, and overall lack and increasingly distant stance with the community this is discouraging.

What implications does this have for future revenue and monetization of this game.

uf

I think many here fail to understand that this is similar to the alt art for items that were offered as prizes in races years ago (which were extremely difficult to win). I'm ok with this pass, items/effects look nice, but it's not for me. Although I may consider it if I make it to 117.

Why the fuck does this shit require xsolla?

Most of the folks who complain about the pricing won't pay for the vault pass, unless it's priced absurdly low, like $5.

I don't think GGG is trying to make vault pass a major income stream. My guess is they want to make people who actually buy the pass feel special, in a good way. No, I'm not being sarcastic.

We should have noticed how expensive the cosmetics are in general, especially the good ones. This is on purpose. If GGG makes vault pass easy to access, there would be no feeling special for the buyers, because too many people would have the pass and subsequently access to the skins. We also see that line of thinking in the pricing of supporter packs. GGG is only trying to make money and satisfy the actual buyers' egos.

And yes, while there are things to be said about how niche the rewards are, I'll repeat the same points as other "whiteknights:" you are not forced to buy the pass, nor do you have to. If you can't afford it, just don't buy it. If you don't know if you can get all the rewards, don't buy immediately. You can always wait until the last day before making the decision.

You might be right to say GGG "miscalculated" their move, but you won't know, until they change the next vault pass to be more preferable for you. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that the ones who complain about pricing will probably just complain either way.

Damn I didnt think something like this would leave such a lasting impression on me. I have not been able to play this game since. Such a fuckin bummer. This game just feels...tainted for me now. Like im a lab rat being targeted by scientists to exploit a larger demographic version of myself. Hey its a business I get it, I just hate when that wall is broken down and the inner workings become so transparent. Was a nice run for me though. A lot of fun over the years. Peace out GGG
