Introducing Kirac's Vault Pass

I don't think anyone is against the idea of a Battle pass with actually good rewards.... But this battle pass featuring skins for FLASKS??? Are you mental? Why not just give us some mouse skins instead and then spit in our face.

And unique specific? Who brought up these rewards and who in their right mind thought it was "good"?

This is just insulting....

I am against any form of battle passes in any game whatsoever. They are predatory monetization schemes relying on FOMO and that is pure BS. I don't want any of this in PoE...

Too expensive, make it $15 to even begin considering.

Thanks.

Pay to win !!!

What?

Got to squeeze every possible second of that playtime out of the players.
Why play for fun because game is fun. Thats hard.
Add funpass to give players incentive. Because we cant make game fun to play.

I like it. I dont see the problem.
Make it cheaper, then it is even better.

i could see myself paying $10 for this... 30... no thanks

30$? lmao

i would maybe consider that for 10$.

Also, what about the permanent skin transfers to use our race rewards?

At first I read this expecting a punchline, but it never came.

Cosmetics in this game have always largely been either pay for exactly what you want(often usable on many items/item types), or work for the free league challenge items. This is 30usd to then work for a handful of incredibly specific usage skins.

It feels like an insult.

It would have been less offensive and probably made more money to offer these skins piecemeal, or even include this extra set of cosmetics progression in the lowest tier of supporter pack.

The implementation of this concept feels like the brainchild of a tonedeaf corporate overlord entirely removed from the actual game and community, and then it was both somehow greenlit and met no resistance.

Where was the community dialogue in all this? Who was in charge of gauging the target audience?

I've been playing this game since Act2 was all there was. I've seen it grow and improve steadily over the years, with a stumble now and then, but always the ship has right itself.

Herein lies the dissonance. I cannot reconcile this with what I have come to know. Conceptually this feels like a malignant object lodged in an otherwise healthy body.

I remain hopeful that the ship will once again right itself.

ok, you lost it. 30$ ??? LMAO

If this was for free to get people to play the league this would have been so cool but asking 30$ for it will almost certainly not get people to play, it comes off as greedy and pushes players AWAY

this is a blatant re-packaging of the old racing reward system that gave us unique item skins / unique items with alternate art, except now you have to pay for the rewards and you also have to race in the league for them.
It's re-monetizing systems that were already present in the game. So i guess in the future the unique item skins won't be racing rewards but just part of battle passes ?

Its a really bad precedent and a slippery slope.
What old system is going to get replaced and monetized next, no more skin transfers so you have to use the new unique item skin system?

I'm worried where this will go and i think it is a lazy cashgrab. If you want to motivate players to play the league and get people out of standard, this is certainly not the way to do it.

I couldn't agree more, these game companies need to realize that people aren't going to pay for these senseless cash grabs anymore. I got a little excited when I got on and saw there was going to be a pass and a way to earn some stuff but as soon as I saw $30 I was instantly drawn away from it. Give your people some skins they can look forward to unlocking for free later on to improve the looks of their characters without further investment, and maybe you'll continue to make money off your other microtransactions.
