[2020] Suggestion: Make the Battle Pass XP Based

Hi battle pass designer here. Thanks for your feedback. In the short term based on feedback like this I’ve replaced a number of challenges that require the player to take specific actions with “play games”. It should be deploying somewhere among the next couple builds. I recognize that folks want to see a battle pass that doesn’t require you to think about it while in the game. In future passes I’ll be restructuring the challenges to be more along these lines.

Some have noted this already but the reason pass progression is designed around challenges is so that we can offer value in the pass to all players willing to make a certain minimum time commitment. Some players can only play a few hours a week, others play 40. The challenges mean that everyone has a chance to complete the pass, and all players complete it within an order of magnitude of time of each other. That said, we’re watching closely feedback like this and player behavior and we will take it into account when designing future passes.

Thanks again, threads like these are actually very helpful.

It will be changed to “play games”. If you’ve already finished the alpha hunters challenge you’ll keep your stars and you’ll be able to earn the stars again on “play games”.

I feel you and I’m often in the same boat. I’ll be rebalancing battle stars in future passes to make sure weekend players can complete the pass. In the meantime at some point in the next couple releases daily challenges will get an increase in how many stars they award to help weekend players.
