I'm seeing a lot of confusion about the double hunt pass this season, which frankly needs to be cleared up ASAP because it will impact peoples decision to purchase part 1 - the Fortune & Glory Hunt Pass (F&G HP).
Last season we had 1 50 tier Hunt Pass and 2 months to complete it. In-game right now is a 33 day count down on the F&G HP suggesting we only have 1 month to complete it.
What I am okay with: Unlocking the Zephyr Strike Hunt Pass after the 1st month, but still being able to progress through the F&G HP if we haven't completed it after 1 month. Yes I understand this scenario still only gives people 1 month to complete the ZS HP, but at least it let's people play catch-up if they have more time available to play in month 2 than 1.
What I am not okay with: giving us roughly half the time as last season to complete a HP of the same length, when we might not even want to purchase the 2nd one, which is what the in-game countdown currently suggests.
Now there's also the question of pricing: the F&G HP is 1000 plat.
Will the ZS HP also be 1000 plat?
What about for those who purchase the F&G HP before ZS HP releases, will it still cost 1000 plat for us?
Many optimists think having 2 HPs this season means getting twice the content for the same price, as if we're getting a sort of 100 tier HP akin to fortnites battle pass - which costs the equivalent of 1000 platinum in v-bucks for 100 tiers btw. Phoenix Labs this absolutely needs to be cleared up! I hope the cost of 2 50 tier HPs is not 2000 platinum because having to pay twice the price of a fortnite battle pass for a similar amount of content is going to drive a lot of people, myself included, away from purchasing current and future HPs.
- Last thing: how will bonus loot and mastery work? If we've purchased the F&G HP will our bonuses only last 1 month now instead of the full season?
The FAQ on the Dauntless site says these bonuses last until the season ends, but there's nothing there that suggests this section has been updated to correspond with Season 6 so clarification here is still needed. The weird thing is if they do last 'til the seasons end this will push people to buy F&G so they get a full season of bonuses instead of 2. Mind you, if ZS can be purchased with ≤ the amount of plat in F&G this doesn't matter, but we need to know these things before making our decisions on what to purchase
The ideal scenario: ZS can be purchased with ≤ the amount of plat in F&G, this is basically what fortnite does with their BPs. Also, bonuses last the whole season regardless of if someone chooses to purchase ZS or not.
What the lack of information implies: each pass costs 1000 plat, and you need to buy both passes for a full season of bonuses. This is a shady change and I'll be extremely disappointed if it's the case so please Phoenix Labs tell us what in the world is going on.
EDIT: I want to support this game that I love and give you guys money, but will not support devs pushing people to pay them twice as much as the season before just because they've made a pseudo 100 tier pass, which is what 1000 plat should've been able to buy in the first place.
TL/DR: We don't know anything about the 2nd HP except for the name. The lack of information implies each pass costs 1000 plat, we only have 1 moth to complete each pass, and you need to buy both passes for a full season of bonuses, which is a super lame change and will deter many people from buying current and future HPs.
