Question regarding purchase of past Batttlepasses

[desert kernel]

I didn't purchase the Winterfest battlepass when it came out. I simply wasn't interested in the premium rewards. I did however complete the free pass up to the max level of 30 or whatever it was at the time.

If I were to purchase the battlepass now would I simply unlock everything I missed immediately or would I have to start over from the beginning?

If you buy a battle pass after completing it you unlock everything immediately, however since we're no longer on the winter fest battlepass buying the current "wrath of the ascended" battlepass will not give you the rewards from winter fest as it's different battlepasses.

You may not have heard but in the upcoming update you will be able to purchase previous battlepasses starting with winterfest and shadow ops, with ashes of the damned being added later.

I found out about a few hours after I stated this. However I'd think that yea if you had it finished already you should get the whole thing at once, it seems marvel rivals sparked a new trend with battle passes

except they copied the idea from warframe's nightwave and applied it to battlepasses

give credit where credits due

[lament lodge]

I would have to of had a reason to have played Warframe in the last 2 years to know that. However afaik previous night waves are still unobtainable unless they bring old rewards into new night waves like I've seen. Also just checked with a buddy old nightwaves are still unbuyable so how about maybe not spreading false information about where credits due

[full nebula]

they dont do it all the time, but usually the rewards have come back at least once, they are just in other nw in different orders, or the entire nightwaves were available for replay for months at a time. same with all the purchasable prime items, they do it on rotation via varzia.
if you dont play the game you cant complain that you missed a time-limited event. even plaguestar rotates back every year or two.

and nightwave were never buyable they are and were always free. its not false info to give credit to the people who created the trend.

just because another company took that idea and put money spin on it doesnt make it less true. but way to rage for no reason.

[lament lodge]

I'm not raging my guy, if you think so that's hilarious. However adding old content to a new pass is extremely different from literally allowing anyone to buy any pass that's been out whenever they want. Rivals started it not warframe

[full nebula]

by your metric, fortnite did it before rivals, even halo infinite did it before rivals. moba and fomo isnt new and neither is battlepass logistics, games that have come and gone have done this, it isnt new or unique.
