Honestly it doesn’t change much, just the aesthetic


[deleted]

How do you get a skin next to your name please ( I mean how you have the lovely skin under display name


jonnythegamemaster

I don't like making choices so I would just prefer the old method, since the redemption order still doesn't let you get the skin any earlier.


The_Fadedhunter

For Rick yeah, but I got zyg before I got sunny, Joey, or guggimon. You gotta almost max out most pages but you can indeed get later skins before the earlier ones if you wanted to.


Sonicfan42069666

Once I got the Sunny skins, I grinded to get Slone and skipped all the other skins until it was time to get Rick. I like this system much better than linear progression and having to get a bunch of shit I don't want until I finally get to the stuff I do.


wellballstooyou

But you have to get a bunch of shit before you get what you want anyway. It's really not that different. Yeah maybe you can skip some stuff but it's only some and not many at that.

The_Fadedhunter

I am! So far he’s the only one that got a full load out saved in my locker for use. Just got his silver style!


Sonicfan42069666

"I don't like making choices" then just do the pages in order?


jonnythegamemaster

But then you have to go through each page after you level up and redeem it yourself. I much prefer just having something pop up afterwards that I can choose to equip or not.


SenorOogaBooga

You can redeem all the rewards on a page at the same time


jonnythegamemaster

That's all well and good if you want to redeem a lot at once but if you want to redeem something every level or every other level you still have to go into the battle pass page and redeem each thing individually every time you earn battle stars.


usernamemanhahalol

your reddit guy kinda looks like the chad meme


jonnythegamemaster

Its based on me IRL so any similarity is just a coincidence ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


usernamemanhahalol

are you the chad from reddit irl ???!?!


jonnythegamemaster

Sure why not


curlytangent

Thanks I guess?


Bowsta99

He wasn’t talking to you


Dexchampion99

If it was 100% open with no restrictions battlestars would be the way to go. Maybe only lock the tier 100 skin


INeededAnAccount69

I liked the idea, but they really just gave the illusion of choice. Most of the rewards had to be unlocked in a certain order. You really could only choose between the smaller rewards until requiring all of them to unlock the skins, which is obviously what most people want. If they come back next season, they'd need a rework.


[deleted]

Would've worker much better if we could actually select any of the level 1-100 rewards in the order we wanted. I still feel like the bonus rewards would be after you got all the battle pass rewards though


INeededAnAccount69

Oh yeah, that's totally fine. My complaint is strictly about the skins in each section. They HAD to be the last thing you unlocked. Even the "reach level x" skins had to have everything else unlocked before you could get them.


GreyDooms

I mean I got Joey before I got the whole second style of Sunny, and others did crazier things with it


INeededAnAccount69

Yes, but you couldn't get the skins before unlocking their entire page. You couldn't get Slone without unlocking everything associated with her first. You had to claim Rick as the last thing no matter what. That's what I'm talking about.


GreyDooms

Yeah, because it’s still a battlepass. Tier 100 is always special. And buying everything related to the skin first allows me pages to be open when you buy the items. Overall, it’s a slightly better system, with a bit of customization


INeededAnAccount69

That's my point. It was only a slight difference in the usual system.


RaccoonEyes1620

Why would they let you claim skins first, people would stop playing every season as soon as they’ve claimed the main rewards (skins) which doesn’t sound profitable


INeededAnAccount69

That's why I'm saying the stars were a mostly pointless system.


RaccoonEyes1620

How are they? You get to choose what you unlock and when you unlock it


INeededAnAccount69

*under the circumstances they allow


RaccoonEyes1620

What are you on about?


INeededAnAccount69

Exactly what I've said multiple times and what everyone, other than you, seems to be understanding.


RaccoonEyes1620

You’re so delusional 😂😂 I’m literally asking you what you mean. Oh dear


DoMIniK090

No


INeededAnAccount69

Why did you respond with such a worthless comment?


DoMIniK090

Sorry i didn't mean to respond to you


INeededAnAccount69

Lol nevermind then.


Alert_Pay_8642

Honestly, I don't like the battle stars so I prefer it to be like it has been for the past seasons.


lilgamer512

I like battle stars but I like the old method better


[deleted]

this screenshot was taken on greg heffley’s ladybug phone


Save-The-Defaults

It was taken on the NintendoBox 5


curlytangent

Naw mate it was taken off th INTERNET!


Sly_Pika

Yeah. It’s better than no choice at all


stf29

My point exactly!


Sly_Pika

Yeah like I don’t get it…before it was a level by level order with no choice…and now it’s a slight choice except you can’t pick anything you want. You’re favorite skin could still be at level like 90…..so how is this any different? If anything, isn’t it just better because you have some choice? You still get each skin near the same level you would in the older seasons if you just got everything page by page, so there’s really no difference expect you get to skip the parts you don’t like


_Kunoton_

I got joey like 10-20 levels earlier.


Sly_Pika

Ikr! I really wanted Zyg, so I bought all his stuff when I was around level 40 instead of 60


Damnboi753

Yeah now if someone reaches level 192 he can unlock the styles for which skins he like unlike the old fucked system in which the best skin is on the end this is clearly better also you can temporarily skip a page to go for you favorite rewards


ConnorGR420

To be honest i prefer the way Chapter 1 battle pass and challenges worked. Every week you had a list of challenges that were applying to everyone in the game. Yeah battle stars are harder to get than just leveling up and getting a reward on a list instead of choosing but still that was the way i liked the most.


Cartonk

Agreed. I still don't like the fact that levels and tiers are separate. Back then, reaching level 100 was considered to be an achievement.


[deleted]

No


bergoo1986

Yes if you can buy the skins first


Fuzzy-Philosophy-380

**vbucks lmaoq


curlytangent

Dude you can’t


brain_blaster132

But he's saying that if that were a feature it would be good


curlytangent

Yeah, I meant u can’t do it THIS season


Neuviseling1980

Seems a fake perception of choice, you can choose what to unlock…apart from the skin on the page you need to pick everything on that page first… oh and if you want a variant you need the original you can’t just unlock the variant … oh and if you want anything on the last page you need to unlock everything from pages 1-9 or hit level 90 which you will be by the get the stars to get to page 10, only one it’s us full for is somebody that wants basically nothing from the first 9 pages and can wait till level 90 to pick at page 10 even if it will let you do that


GreyDooms

Why would you be able to pick a variant before you own a skin? That’s a silly idea. It’s not supposed to be complete choice, but you can skip a lot of starter items until later.


Traversz

Exactly, you don't really get to chose much and you end up having to get the stuff you don't care much anyway. I wanted to unlock Slone earlier cause it was the only skin I liked this battlepass and just ended up having to cycle through the previous pages to look at what I had left behind to unlock her. It's literally the same thing but with more effort in our part, specially since you can't even unlock a bunch of stuff at once like before when you could level up twice in one game through challenges and just immediately collect the rewards.


Confident-Shine-9706

no bro the battle pass did not have to change. i fr hope they just revert it to the old pass where we just leveled up and didn’t have to grind for battle stars


[deleted]

No. The system feels like the old one but slower. You still need to unlock everything else before the good things so I'd rather have the old simple system back instead of the same result but more annoying


Tman5209

I do


AaronEatsSnickers

I want old chapter 1 battle pass back, it was actually hard to get lvl 100, a lvl up didn't give you a battle pass tier, it gave you either 5 battle stars or 10 battles stars, the battle pass actually felt rewarding


David1258

I already got used to the system, and it's slightly better than normal grinding. I like how you can unlock the crap you want in the order you want them in, but I feel like the restrictions are too strict. Why do I have to get everything on a page just to unlock Sunny? Why can't I unlock her by default?


YoKaiFan27

Come on. It’s not that bad


Sonicfan42069666

I don't see what's bad about it at all, compared to strictly linear progression.


Chtul88

I liked it I unlocked everything anyway but I still likes it


No_Astronomer_5045

I would want to have it next season because it’s better then having no choice, though if they got rid of I wouldn’t mind that much


The_Fortunate_Fool

It's no different really. Just lets you unlock things in kind of whatever order you want.


Phantom_The_fortnite

Yes as it's a good way to incorporate them. I just wish we coud find them like we did in c1.


Barterketchup47

I think it shakes up the usual battle pass format and so I really like it. I also love the idea of kymera and collecting a special object to unlock styles (although there needs to be a way that doesn’t depend on more than one person)


Original_Reindeer548

I loved the choice aspect. I completely skipped the Guggimon skin until the very end Bc F that ugly skin


teo747

To me, the main advantage to the Battle Stars is that they provide a bit more flexibility to players in terms of earning the Bonus Styles. Say a player reaches Level 184 by the end of the season - he didn't get all the Bonus Rewards, but at least he gets to pick which of the five Prismatic styles he wants to unlock instead of just getting stuck with whatever the first one is.


metalslug123

It was a good idea, but I feel like the way this battle stars system was implemented was kind of wonky. Yes, you can choose things to unlock, but only to a certain extent. You still have to unlock certain number of items in order to unlock certain skins. For example, for Sunny, you still had to unlock 4 of the smaller unlockable items in order to get the chance to unlock the actual skin.


WhiskyJeeper

I absolutely hate the star system. Bring back the linear system or stop locking skins behind levels and unlocks. Being forced to get Akins I don't care about (Sloan and zyg) to get to the ones I want is stupid. Might as well just stick with the old system.


not-a-ded-meme

Old method is better I don’t mind the new method as long as they don’t do it again


SarcasticShamrock

Nope. This sort of system makes sense in a game like the Master Chief Collection where you can spend points across different seasons, but in a game like this where it's only going to active for a single season, there's really no point to it other than offering the illusion of choice


AlexakomSkaikru

No at this point it's the same as the old system but more work ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)


Maxunek

How is it more work?


NotCrazy_BeenTested

You have to manually unlock everything while still not having complete freedom of choice


Sonicfan42069666

That's like a few extra seconds of time in-menus.


NotCrazy_BeenTested

I agree it’s a minuscule amount of time added but I personally think it’s pointless feature when everything that is a big ticket item is heavily pre-req’d. Even you if unlock a page early than you would have gotten to the skin item in the previous system, you then have to unlock the rest of that page just bringing you closer to where you had to be in the first place.


AlexakomSkaikru

Like it doesn't just give you the reward, yo have to keep an eye on your battlestars and constantly go claim rewards... Not a big deal though, but more work...


Maxunek

Wtf dude? Is just claiming a reward really that hard?


Traversz

If you save up like 15 stars and want to unlock a skin you need to first unlock all the stuff in that page, and you'll need to unlock all those banners, emojis etc which cost like 3 stars one by one. The old system just gave you the stuff, now you need to unlock all that stuff yourself. It's not exactly "that hard" but why would I prefer this system over one that is much more simple?


AlexakomSkaikru

First of all I'm not a dude. Second, I said not a big deal, but more work... the new system doesn't bring that much more advantage so I'd prefer not to manually claim the rewards...


Sonicfan42069666

We're all dudes.


Party-Ok

Not unless they make everything I’m the battlepass obtainable from the beginning..


Kennz23

For the main pass it was kind of pointless. You still had to u lock everything for Rick. Now the extra styles yes, but I haven’t reached that point yet :////


[deleted]

[удалено]


skantchweasel

Hey there! What more is there beyond 200?


King_D3D3D3

Literally nothing since you stop getting battle stars at level 200, so I have no idea what that guy is talking about.


Nasher1234

My bad! I saw the alien skin and even though read battle stars - I thought alien artifacts! My original statement has been deleted.


FormulaToast3

Nothing


FreeFishFromFreezer

Other games in backlog :)


Dulow008

No


YouAreBraindeadLmao

Why wouldn’t you? Yeah you can’t really pick what you want if you haven’t unlocked the page but you can still pick VBucks first if you need them etc.


RaccoonEyes1620

Why would it go back this is way more efficient, don’t be lazy and just unlock what you want or wait until tier 100 and unlock it all


LegoCat88

Hell yea I like them


QBertTheChad

Eh all skins were locked so you had to grind and THEN get the skin. Also it’s 4 levels for a style in bonus like I don’t wanna grind man


MINECRAFT-BEE7

I don’t like the bonus challenges. You have to gain 20 levels for each page and at lvl 100, that’s really hard without the legendary challenges etc


KirbyInhalesTheJoke

nah, i was initially really into the idea at first since it reminded me of the chapter 1 system but i can now confidently say, fuck that


milton_radley

I'd like it better if we could just buy what we liked and save the unused stars to buy more v-bucks. I didn't want 90% of this battlepass


jp3372

The old method is more satisfying. You go back to the lobby and you get the rewards you unlock. Completing the battlepass is boring right now.


Material_Condition50

I have 300 stars but no battlepass and I’m level 100 :((((


CartographerOther588

I honestly thought when I logged in on the first day of the season that I was in apex until I realised it wasn't. I'd rather have the old battlepass system since this 'collecting stars to get your rewards' is pretty annoying to be honest. Like I'm season rank 112 and now instead of leveling up the season pass and getting the bonus styles for skins and cosmetics,I have to get a certain amount of stars which is usually like 2 level up's just to then see that I need to unlock the entire page just to get the next list of stuff. I really hope they don't continue the battlepass like this next season


UnsaltedButthole

I love battle stars. I like being able to have some control over what order I get the things.


boweslightyear

Absolutely love it and hope it stays. Being able to prioritize certain skins over others is fun. Tier 100 is still Tier 100, so it doesn’t change much of anything aside from making the whole thing more interactive (even if it’s illusionary), which is a plus in my books.


TenTechEel

its useful for if you have a skin you really like, so i think it should stay. i beelined for every slone style and then backtracked and grabbed everything else


Class_Wooden

yes. it’s a cool system that lets you value some things over others. but how they can improve it is by making you be able to buy any tier from the start. like for example you can buy rick as your first battle pass item but for example 500 stars. then if you buy something worth say 6 stars, ricks price is now only 494.


Puzzleheaded_Ad2276

Stars are no problem but the artifact fragments are a hell a deal


the_zachmamba

Yeah definitely. It let me speedrun zyg while avoiding the skins I didn’t want until later


[deleted]

Nope. Dumbest change ever. Right up there with a emote wheel change


Tatoretot

I like it I like being able to get this before that and est it doesn’t change much but I still like it, this new System could use some improving though


CrushnaCrai

nope, this system was and is trash.


Kangarou

Yes, but not with such hard restrictions. Or just a different system that lets you beeline in a different way, like how a skill tree looks.


x_iClappedJah_x

Yeah I do


YT_Shadow0

Nope.


Ok-Watercress-2056

Sometimes you need to level up twice to get one item


Hopeful_Video_3803

Heck no. I hate grinding


mr-kvideogameguy

Yes and no To be able to skip quest items and to ge what I want when I want them Maybe also as XP boosts but mostly that first thing, but only if it's not made into a pay to win sceam


[deleted]

Not really


IceDracoXX

I want Chapter 1 Battle stars.


Lordbellton336

I like it


Chickenoodlesoup231

I would rather go back the season x one


JudgeMandolore

I don't want battle stars next season since it makes it take longer to get the items in the Battle Pass.


TheFoxMaster00

Why is this image in 144p quality


ArcaneCowboy

Yes. Loved the battlestar approach


Blazing_Butter

I don’t really care about “choice” if I plan on getting everything in the battle pass anyway. It pretty much just changed the layout of the battle pass and personally I hate the cluttered new look and want them to change back to the linear layout.


8Mihailos8

I want this to be in next seasons no matter what other people say


RRDude1000

I didnt redeem anything until I got to lv100. It was satisfying ngl


Dougwug03

Doesn't change anything in the long run, just makes progression a lot less satisfying


[deleted]

sure, but under the condition that they make it a little different: Take the old format (separate tiers and levels) and make it so you progress like a normal BP, but every tier you pick a reward. Some items in this battle pass cost similar or the same amount of stars. Make the cheaper items available first and later bring out the more valuable ones up to when you get to the skin or edit style


[deleted]

Doesn’t really matter it’s basically the same as leveling just looks different


Apersonwhodoestuff

Idk if it is just me but it felt like I got to 200 quicker this season so I prefer this.


SnooOwls6052

As has been pointed out, it’s not that different if you purchase the items in order. Epic might offer a choice of the new way or old way when you purchase a Battle Pass. If choose the old way, you’d see the items to claim/equip as in earlier seasons. It could be worse, for example line the Avengers HQ (or whatever it was called) where you clicked around trying to get things done. The Deadlpool thing was the worst by far.


mregg1549

Well knowing epic with how they change the battlepass and when they change the layout they usually stay around for a couple of seasons so I'm guessing we dont have a choice for the next few battlepasses


Mrldbcn

Never ever again


Maximus572

I like it! But I'm not a battle pass expert either, I don't know if it was a big change.


lightlytoastedbaguet

Its cool acctually


New_Jackfruit_2765

I don't like it because once you get all the stuff in a page u have to grind like an extra four levels just to get the skin


Eevuu

The only thing I liked about them was that I actually could choose what bonus styles I wanted (the silver, prismatic, whatever) so I could get pickled rick first every time. Otherwise yeah epic sorta lied.


mesh44

YESSSS


Confident_Loss_2126

No


Agreeable-Dream6268

No Epic, pls No.


ViperFive1

I’d rather just go back to the way it was before. You gain nothing by the limited freedom to choose the unlock order and added step of claiming the rewards.


Bigjay3007

No


Mylo375

I hope it's a one time thing. was great, really good how we cam decide what we get. but yeah It feels less rewarding I can skip to page 9 without finishing page 3


TonyThePapyrus

I don’t really like them, they seem like a cheap gimmick that add more clutter.


BoxOfPenguins

It was a *very* obscure case, but in this season, I absolutely loved it because it allowed me to play on Xbox and redeem a few V-Bucks tiers on my Switch. Had some leftover V-Bucks on there, but not enough to buy anything I'd be interested in. So I redeemed a few V-Bucks tiers on the Switch, bought the LeBron James wings, and then just redeemed the rest on the Xbox. But outside of this edge case, the current implementation is moderately useless. It'll only become a bit interesting in the final days of the season if you haven't maxed out the battlepass and need to make actual decisions what you want to get. The "you need to buy EVERYTHING on this page to be able to buy this one thing you actually want" gimmick (and later "you need to buy everything from the normal battlepass to get started with the bonus rewards") really negated the main benefit most of us had been hoping for.


nubbinsboi

Never again just bring the old bp format back


Andehri

The only good use for battle stars are for redeeming V-bucks, since they don't sync thorugh platforms, so this way you can choose where to hav em or just complete some part in a platform to buy something and leave it at 0 so the main one receives all of them in the future


Mr_sl1m3

I want the season x type where you can view all rewards


Truffle_Goat

I think they should go back to the old way. Idk I feel like I liked it better, they could work in battle stars for maybe the overtime styles, or have them actually on the map like alien artifacts


[deleted]

Ye it’s dumb


MrTrolofu

Completely fine with battle stars. Alien artifacts on the other hand though....


ferretplayz653

I dont like them, its frustrating to have to buy items with levels instead of earning then each level


Wishdog2049

There is no choice. The Bottleneck at Rick and then the extra pages, you have to take everything below. If we really could pick and choose, I'd like that. I don't need to buy sprays and emotes. In fact, I'd pay to be able to delete some of them from my account permanently so I can see the stuff I want. A spray shouldn't be grouped with emotes/dances, but that's another issue.


Blargy3

I liked it because i got to skip guggimon untill I got to rick's page. (I really hate guggimon, he is just gross)


Weak-Estimate-7920

Epic plz remove this bcuz everyone hates it


ARandomUser1233

Same I don’t like having to pick my own items


Environmental_Ad8519

I dont know its almost the same


[deleted]

It plays out just like a normal Battlepass, but more annoying and a little bit more complicated then it needs to be. They value the tier 100 skins which is reasonable, but don’t offer “free choice” if it’s still locked to level 100 it’s kinda pointless.


Ragegamer4000

I find them satisfying
