It would be really cool if this game had a battle pass like fortnite, you could add cosmetics and stuff to it, and make it like 10 dollars
#Battle Pass

If it’s just cosmetic I don’t see a problem with it
thorn belfry
it very commonly builds toxicity in communities
a kind of elitism that can very easily ruin games with smaller fan bases
ruin the community* not necessarily the game itself but those kinda go hand in hand
hollow palm
making a free pass would fix the elitism

Deep Rock Galactic did battle passes the best

Absolutely not , please , battle pass Are. Not . Fun.

please do not. battle pass is worse than everything for people that havn't time to play everyday and pay something that is temporary or they can't finish.

that's why battle passes can only be implemented like they were in DRG or it will cause toxicity/elitism in the fanbase
DRG allows you to go back to previous battle passes whenever you want. and the passes are always 100% free
if they went that route, it still gives the incentive to play for the current battle pass cause you can get the gear before people and show it off. but it also allows people who are busy with real life to get stuff and not get harassed for not being "good enough" cause you don't have some random s1 skin

DRG style gamepassed be pretty good
its really just a well bassically a proggres bar

Only reason we would add a battle pass is for a few exclusive cosmetics for the time. The majority of cosmetics will probably be available for the future.
Another way it can be done is that people can get the cosmetics for free in the initial battle pass but, when the time is done, they can buy it at a later time.
but keeping it proportionate to the original tier for each cosmetic

If its a paid game, I thin a paid pass would be so weird, kinda annoying to add a paid section even for just cosmetics. I will now list games where paid cosmetics made the game kinda cringe
Fortnite
Call Of Duty
PubG
Valorant
OverwatcH
Mordhau
Halo
Sea Of Thieves
Rocket League
Dead By Daylight
Genshin Impact
Fall Guys
Brawlhalla

Overwatch went from having a mix of a real-money shop and crates that were both buyable/possible to EARN. Soon as OW2 dropped, they removed the one actual attraction for people wanting to get cosmetics and play more often during seasonal events to get season-exclusive character skins.
I agree paid passes can cause lots of trouble but most, if not all, games you listed there are from AAA games
Which is a stark difference to a smaller indie game
Some form of f2p 1-time battle pass with cosmetics the higher you level up (no seasonal reset) would probs be way more suitable

you should do gambling cases like r6 and csgo

A permanent "battle pass" (smth that's just for the whole game's time of existence) could work so it makes it fair for whoever wants to get into the game and get the same cosemtic as another

God damn you and your fortnite suggestion, we play real games here none of this battle pass pay to win bullshit
austere mauve
A battle pass has ALWAYS been cosmetic-based and never has had any form of p2w. Fall Guys had a cosmetic battle pass, same for fortnite (they just made a few oversights in their character designs)

i think simply unlocking a random rarity cosmetic every level up would be nice but i also like gambling so maybe give me a choice of 3 random cards

i agree
adding cosmetic armor and weapons in a battle pass would take nothing away from the gameplay

A permanent level-up pass would be nice and a currency that allows for card packs like kolanis said can work but we will probs run a poll to decide which is better

I think that battle passes add a returnability factor that the game might not have
I think it's a great idea to keep people coming back

By adding a premium side to it, it can lead to some backlash since people don't like how some of the GOOD cosmetics are locked behind a paywall
That's why, if ever implemented, I would make it solely free as the game itself is paid. Some form of donation system will possibly be put in place to help the indie dev, Legatus, and to allow him to continue making new content for the consistent playerbase to have.
Cosmetics are nice and all but putting a forceful paywall on it will lead to disaster and hate from the community, as i'd expect, since the game itself is paid.
Take COD and COD points for example
They made cosmetics paid in an extremely expensive game. Their backlash was a nightmare yet they still use that business model because there's still loyal enough players that want to stand out.

so something like helldivers 2 or the deep rock galactic gamepass (i didnt played so not usre but heard its something that style in 1 of these 2)

yes.
although id wait to see how that lawsuit with CSGO goes for exposing gambling to minors

I would really say don't add a battle pass. The devs should put their effort into the game and gameplay itself instead of thousands of cosmetics.
hollow palm
you could put like different eras of weapons and armor behind a battle pass or maybe an unlock system based on xp earnings. so that, to get new weapons and armor, you have to unlock them. not necessarily a paid unlock system though

I would still argue that an XP unlock system would be better
battle passes just take a lot of work to add content to and this game is developed by a really small team
I feel like asking them to add that much content, cosmetics, and other useless knick-knacks would delay the launch so much and take from development time for actual content outside of cosmetics (e.g. game modes, features)
I would prefer for the development time to go towards things to do ingame rather than just cosmetics
don't get me wrong, cosmetics are awesome and I love them, but for a small indie team like this I think they should focus on other things

maybe instead of a battle pass just add slot machines you can use real money with

The system allows more people to try to protect each other's interests or evaluate each other and swear at each other. Even if this is added, there will be people who enjoy it, but when the system is added, some people here have been able to respect each other's values, but I think there will be people who are stressed out by the ranking system!
Judging each other in these games can also worsen relationships. Critics of each other can cite the system as a reason.

I think they should have a point kinda system, like if you win this many rounds, you get this many dabloons(coin,Money,Ect.) and then that could be used towards different cosmetics, armor, amd weapons, also name one game that has a battle pass and not a Toxic community. Battle passes kinda just ruin the game and it becomes a pay to win, I also think that you should be able to earn what you fight with instead of paying 10 bucks for it

dosent deep rock galactic has something similar to battlepass?
idk i didnt played it (tho it be cool to play)
fringe anvil
Honestly, just no. Unless it is completely free all the time for the bp, just no.
So what I mean by this is a xp unlock system

As much as I enjoy playing this game. I think keeping customization free and open to the public (also without grinding) is fair. I’d be more than happy to fair for a copy of the game, but keep personalization free
hollow palm
i think a little bit of extra rewards for putting in more effort is worth it
like some sort of unlockable customization for those who are dedicated to the game
proper wing
Hmm, could you explain to me the purpose of doing it? I know why other games do it, but why this game?
