Introducing Kirac's Vault Pass

eh, its pricey. But then again every MTX is.

Well isn't this just a fresh pile of horse shittery.

Wait... Wait... I was on board until I read:

"Is the Pass available for Standard players?
No. At this stage it is only available to players in the current challenge league because many Standard players can instantly unlock their whole Atlas by completing a single map."

Excuse me...? What is this discrimination? Again Standard players being treated like second-hand citizens. I don't play leagues... How am I supposed to take advantage of this pass then? Come on GGG, you couldn't come up with a solution for Standard? This makes me sad.

bad idea.

I don't count how much I spend in this game (you are welcome),
but this time, no thanks ggg.

These mtx looks beautifull tbh, just, it's too situationnal for me for 30bucks, and this is not a big deal, keep the good work :)

quick question though... in paradoxica's example, would that effect be the new weapon skin? or weapon effect skin? can they be combined? is it like a gem mtx?

cause it would be detrimental if the weapon effect cannot be combined with other weapon mtx's imo,

It's a weapon skin. You cannot combine it.

Yet another FOMO-based (Fear of missing out) system after supporter packs and chests. For me personally, at this point it feels just predatory towards impulse buyers. All of those skins could've easily be just added in the shop at the price of current battle pass. This would encourage people to get the vault pass (all skins in price of one!) without punishing people who just simply can't (or SHOULDN'T) afford this at the moment, since they could just get it once their finances are more stable. Or maybe tie the entire battle pass system with the supporter packs along with in-game challenges (similar to how battle passes in other free to play games do it).

Yes, the game is free to play. Yes, we already had chests and supporter packs. But neither of those two facts excuse this kind of practice, especially once it starts to pile up like this.

If we just assume that it's all good because the game is free and purchase is just an optional skin that doesn't affect the game, then what argument would you have to make against having 10 more concurrent battle pass system like this? GGG must make money, some limited skins are fine, but there is the point at which enough is enough.

I guess you can also just say "Don't like it, don't buy it", but then you could make the same argument about any game-related aspects by just saying "Don't like it, don't play it". Reasonable? Yeah. But it's even more reasonable to try speaking out and sharing our feedback trying to change what we believe needs to be changed first, then depending on response to that decide if we gonna just swallow that pill or quit.

Edit: To end this message on a somewhat positive note, I'm just going to say that after all, I'm still glad that GGG is looking towards new ways of monetization and trying to bring in some new systems along with it. I just wish it wouldn't go into the direction of time-limited paid skins any more than I already was.

I stopped buying MTX a while ago when the recolor spam started. This is just proof it was the right decision

PAY for the right to EARN these MTX rofl. What a joke

30 dollars is pretty ridiculous honestly.... most battle passes arnt even close to that and they usually offer more...

Granted some of the stuff does look nice.. but wow O.o

You dont seem to understand, so I will clarify this for you. No one is upset that they want to make money (they kinda need to as a company), no one is upset about MTX in general, what people are upset about is a battle pass system being put into place.

Many companies start with a battle pass system and it ALWAYS goes downhill from there. Frankly this is a HORRIBLE thing to put into POE. This also means the start of the death of POE as a game for ARPG fans, and the start of a game for pure greed.
I have not yet seen a game that put a Battle Pass in and that has NOT fallen into garbage.

I have 24k hours into this game. I have spent thousands of dollars on this game.
I will not be spending ANY more. PERIOD.

This is a bad idea.
