Battlepass isn't bad and here is why:
The Battlepass isn't that bad just because we get FREE Items and MORE challenges. If you want to buy it then do it and if not then just don't buy it. IT IS !NOT! a must buy for you so stop blaming the devs for it. I dont see why it makes so much trouble. it only has positive things that i count now:
- Free Items / Cosmetics
- (from the leak) Free Aura Cells and Shards
- More challenges also for FREE
- you can support the devs with even more money so WE can also get more licensed chapters.
As i said .. you dont have to buy it if you dont want to!

update: wow only vote downs ... WHY?
tell me what your problem is with that survivor pass.
(of course it's a game that you have to pay for but that isn't a reason why they shouldn't implement it)
5 -
"Free" is always included in the cost you pay for those "free" items.
15 -
of course it is. ... its not more different then now .. only that you have to pay 10 Dollars / Euros for EACH purple Skin. the Battlepass will give you more then one Purple Skin for 10 Dollars / Euros. If we go after your thinking then it would be ... "Oh yeah lets pay 10 Dollars / Euros for a purple Skin but not for a pass that would give me more then one for the same money, and hey the game is stupid because we dont have everything in it unlocked and i have to unlock them with grinding but i don't want to grind for that stuff" that would just be boring. the pass combines it both... it gives you Challenges and gives you free stuff without even paying for it. we have to grind for our skins too with the shards we get for a level up and with bloodpoints to get the prestige clothing. it's nothing else with the pass then.

Bah they should just charge a flat 12$ a month pay to play and give away cosmedics.
Honestly thou I don't know why they don't just make for example a Easter theme for 2019.
And every month if u reach rank 1. u get to pick one so 2 a month if u get both killer and survivor .
So 8 charcters or 24 different peices if u wanted so they only have to make one set per year.
0 -
that would be a good idea but its not aesy to reach rank 1 with the other players on rank 15 to 10 they are mostly searching for the hatch when 1 generator is left and won't unhook you so you are mostly stuck with the current rank.
1 -
Ya it shouldn't be easy. U can still get 12 for just killer rank 1. 2 survivor 2 killer if u wanted
0 -
i know that it shouldnt be that easy but you have to be lucky to get to rank one if you want to get out of the "looping" being stuck on a specific rank. (i had such good rounds for example in which i got followed really long so the gens could get made until 1 was left. then i got downed and no one wanted to save me so i died on the hook. (these rounds where the teammates are searching the hatch with 1 generator left are just too many times its not even funny) Killer would be the better option then that i would take ^^

I play so much I'd get both lol

Just a couple of questions ^

Check fortnite battle pass and you will understand it.
And no, this is Left 4 dead shirt you get if you own the game. You can read about legacy here: https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Legacy_Prestige

Oh dear god, don't say that.
I'd delete it right away.

Free?
Battlepass will cost money, right?
That's like saying i need to buy a ticket to be able to enter the amusement park and then riding rides is free.
5 -
Battle Passes are just the modern version of a subscription-based monetization model that heavily exploits the fear of missing out, which a potent psychological trigger used to get people to spend money.
And once they've spent money, they feel the urge to complete the Battle Pass, otherwise they feel like they've lost money.
This process repeats over and over, and over and over.
21 -
well it is Free.. only the other stuff is locked that requires payment for the pass.
1 -
In order to take the free stuff, you must complete some missions on both sides and even if you do you will get the stuff only for one side that you may no play. So this thing forcing you to play something that you don't want in order to get something that you don't want so you can have stuff you want in the future.
2 -
wow ok yes that is right but its not for me with only that thinking. for me it is to farm stuff and the thought that i would like to support behaviour with my money so we all can get more out of the game like more licensed chapters.
1 -
not entirely correct, the missions are challenges to get more bloodpoints and shards. the pass will have the aura cells and skins
1 -
So purple outfits for example will now not require money nor playtime, but are completely free?
0 -
i dont know if the purple skins will be in the free version. but there will be definetly aura cells and shards as well as green skins i think. (and no you need playtime to unlock the level for the pass.)
1 -
All addons in the game on Xbox. (doesn't include Bill on PC).
A battlepass would make the game + all of it's addons cost over $200+ I'd rather buy a bundle pack than a Battlepass.. IMO.
Also... WE DO support the Devs with $200 per player...
I see a battlepass as a waste of code.
If you want a battlepass that says alot. Like... Do you play Fortnite? PUBG? Bo4 Blackout?
If you said yes to any of those... think about this... What does that game have what we don't Cosmetics wise?
DUH GUNS and you can shoot and it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more competitive.
Having skins as battlepass items are pointless same as currency.
I just earn the stuff I want and move on. I don't need a battlepass to be like: "Hey here's an easy way to get the skin" I want a challenge not some bogus stuff the Devs cook up.
Hell make it so you earn Cells and Shards when you Level up to another Player level.
Then guess what? You get EVERY SKIN LEGIT and guess what? FREE
No payment required unless you want that skin faster by buying Cells.
No one needs a battlepass. But if you played Fortnite or any battle Royal then your point is invalid if you actually like their battlepass system. I played litterally all of them. All their battlepasses make me not want to play the game. Am I playing any Battle Royal anymore?
NOPE.
Leave battlepasses in Battle Royal games.

i dont know if the purple skins will be in the free pass, but there will be aura cells and green skins as far as i have seen. (the pass needs to be leveled so you get these things)

People need to stop parroting this FOMO bullshit. None of you are psychologists. None of you actually know what you are talking about. You got a buzz word from a Youtuber that complains about the game way too much yet does not play survivor AT ALL and even admits himself he does not even play the game that much. As much as I like the dude, he has a propensity to make very whiney videos about stuff he personally just doesn't like.

It depends on what they limit the battle pass too.
If you get double shards for instance you can then buy bloodpoints in the shrine which in turn helps you get more add-ons, offerings and level faster which then has a p2w aspect since anything which is monetized which can give an advantage in game is the definition of p2w.
The grind should be set the same for all users when it comes to bloodpoints as people have asked for this for a long time, if you can get more BP using shards it makes it unequal and they are monetizing the grind which is completely wrong, they also need to make sure the dlc stays the exactly same way and price and not make them a part of the pass as that would again be wrong as you would pay more even if you didn't want the cosmetics.
These are my concerns with a battle pass as long as it's just cosmetics or chars leaving in the current options it's ok in my eyes, if it gives you any advantage over the BP grind then it's very scummy.
1 -
well i dont think about it that much just because it wouldnt even be pay2win ... yes the aspect with getting more bloodpoints is there but it doesnt matter for any match since you can only get 1 item with you with its addons and and offering. it doesnt change anything.

i dont know if the purple skins will be in the free pass, but there will be aura cells and green skins as fr as i have seen. (and no you need playtime to level up your pass so you get these things)

@thesuicidefox What is FOMO?
And I have no clue what youtuber you're talking about.
I'll never understand why people want to normalize this crap. Its like if they want to be treated like cattle in a barn, getting milked for money.

And to make it clear: Those Auric Cells and Green outfits will be IN the Battlepass?
1 -
In the Free one .. yes :D

The free Battlepass?
There's 2?

I'm a player that doesnt want more killers atm (at least not killers that cant stand against a team that wants to escape) especially liscienced killers!!..... theres not enough to this game..... we have had the same damn items for 3 years now.... toolbox, medkit, FL, map, key............ we've had the same boring A$$ gen sim objective for the last 3 years.... the game is prettymuch bare bones still... "battlepass" (which I dont like calling it that because it makes me feel like I'm talking about COD or some #########) isnt going to fix that... DBD needs more objectives, quests.... it needs cults that can give quests and in return BP or something...... it needs game modes and more...

You forgot to talk about the actual downsides of Battlepasses.
- The segregation of a playerbase in which if you've got people playing for the same length of time, but suffers a huge disparity in content due to not being able to afford a battlepass when the entire player base could have been better served with short term events so everyone regardless of cash in had a fair shot at getting the free content.
- Battlepass gaming often can lead to player burn out as playing now has to happen on a more scheduled basis for longer periods to progress the battlepass.
- The pricing of a battlepass is almost always predatory as there is no way to roll battlepasses over from season to season if you were for any reason unable to play. I.E. you've invested the money, but couldn't get a return due to life issues, equipment failure, game failure which dbd has had issues with for going on 3 years.
- The same amount of content could be given to the players through subsidized brand promotions which wouldn't pass the cost on to the consumer.
- Often battlepasses reduce content put out for straight purchase and cause price increases on content that can be bought directly. The reason for the price increase is the addition of more currency being "given away" even though that same currency is gated behind the paid pass. So players who spend money in the ingame shop that don't want the pass can and have been hit with a price hike.
13 -
Nope it is the same. if you dont pay for it you will level the battlepass anyways and get the items from the "Free" line. If you buy the pass then the complete pass will unlock with even more shards / aura cells and purple skins.

But you forget again that you dont have to pay anything for it ^^ its free only the additional stuff is behind a paywall. I dont see anything bad with it just because either way you would support the game with money so we can get more content.
0 -
Not only would I uninstall the game right away if they did that, I would even demand for a refund and report them to the better business bureau.

nope they will be in the free version. you get more in the payed version.

Battlepass = Fortnite
Fortnite = Bad.
It all checks out.

K
2 -
lol. you say free. like it doesnt cost money in the first place. therefore it is not FREE! monetised crap ....
2 -
That doesn't sound much different than what we have now.
- You don't buy Auric Cells? Okay, so you collect Iridescent Shards over time and can eventually get AC-exclusives anyway.
- You don't buy the Battlepass? Okay, so you play and eventually you'll get the stuff anyway.
This just feels like Purple Outfits Locked Behind Auric Cells 2.0.
No wait, what this feels like is a new merchant coming over every month, offering very specific deals per merchant, and they won't allow you to buy half of them unless you buy their pass.
I'd much prefer to have a simple: Buy it or don't.
And just have more things like the Daily Rituals.
I'm not really calling it bad, the pass.
It just feels incredibly unnecessary.

Battle passes are bad.
This game is unbalanced as ######### and then just release premium content for a overpriced game (including dlcs), i mean #########?
5 -
I really don't understand the hate. Battlepasses have a free line (get some rewards) but not as many and a premium pay for line that gets the free items and more per level.
The largest complaint I see is that it feeds on want, like I want everything, or I want what others have. The question I have is how is that any different then the store or sale packs for clothing that exists today?
You don't have to buy in to play, or you can buy in and get more. Often the cost is like 15$ a season, its not a lot but if it is to much then don't buy in. When they start bringing in chug jugs you can start doing the Fortnite comparisons.

I agree with you.

The "Free Line" isn't there, because "Oh, Good Guy Dev just wants everyone to have Content, even if they can't pay." It's there to ensure you're looking at the Battlepass Progression Bar, and seeing everything that you're not getting right now, but could get, if you're just spend a little bit of money, honey, we got your disease. Jungle, welcome to the jungle. Watch it bring you to your shun n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees. Uh I, I wanna watch you bleed.
And buzz off with this "Oh, you're just repeating what that YouTuber said," Nonsense. Just because someone else said something, doesn't mean the idea is wrong. And it isn't like all you people saying "Oh, Battlepasses Are Actually Good" aren't all parroting each other, as well.

The issue is you’re dealing with a player base that lacks a basic understanding of economics. The game is not free to maintain- they need money coming in to pay developers, testers, get licenses, etcetera.
The money the game has already made? It’s gone. It’s not like every dollar sits in a vault- they paid employees, taxes, overhead, and investors. Without money coming in, the company, and the game, will die.
Selling cosmetics and Battle Passes is a way to NOT just charge everyone an access fee. Money has to come in- the game will die without it.
1 -
You expect games to keep going with no money coming in? Come on, you have to be trying to be that dumb.
1 -
You’d be laughed at, and frankly, you leaving the game doesn’t matter. Anyone who refuses to spend any more money on the game is not someone I’d advise BHVR to listen to.
1 -
“Without passing the cost on to consumers.”
You don’t understand business, do you?

@TheAntiSanta "And buzz off with this "Oh, you're just repeating what that YouTuber said," Nonsense. Just because someone else said something, doesn't mean the idea is wrong. And it isn't like all you people saying "Oh, Battlepasses Are Actually Good" aren't all parroting each other, as well."
But it does mean it's wrong if said Youtuber was wrong. He found a buzzword and used it to back up his opinion. He's not a psychologist AFAIK so he clearly misrepresented things to fit an agenda.
Likewise I could argue that the Free Line is there to avoid the fear of missing out, as it gives you something at least even when you do have a battle pass.
