U get less shit overall. U are capped at XP per week and u dont even get to chose gold spending when compared to an old model. 8k compared to 4k and a change in the form of packs from latest and one expanison before. For me personally this sounds so bad.
Absolutely an abomination. You can tell they spent a lot of time on it too which makes it even more sad. They are definitely going to lose a ton of long time customers if they implemented this as is.
if they add this in ADDITION to the normal gold accumulation then I’m all for it, but don’t supplement the flexibility of Gold rewards for a far inferior and quite frankly, predatory model. Battlepasses are known to create FOMO and are extremely addicting to certain types of people. Not a fan at all.

If this was a Dota2 style of battle pass i wouldnt bat an eye (they are just cosmetic). I dont get to play much of a game these days and it wont affect me in a long run but it will fuck up so many people with grind.
Frankly, given how generous the complete rewards are for the FTP player base, I don't actually hate this. The XP requirements seem extremely dodgy though. The 9K expected max per week for a regular player means you need to keep it up for 17 weeks in order to unlock everything. That part seems ridiculous. If that was halved, that regular players could be expected to hit cap at 8-9 weeks, and the rest is gravy, giving even casual players a chance to get to higher levels, I'd say this could be really positive for the game.
Also price point is obviously the clincher on whether it's worth it or not. Given how paid rewards cut out at 50, it's clear they expect players to be able to get to that one much easier.
If that's how things will go, I'll simply drop hs, to be honest. I have no intention of spending a dime on the game (like the majority of the playing base, incidentally) and it becoming even worse to f2p players (especially when compared to quite literally all other digital CCG out there) will be the nail in the coffin for me. I'll keep watching the streamers I do now since I enjoy watching the game anyway, but goodness knows I have no intention of spending more time in it if it'll be akin to a full time job in order to get half the rewards I currently do in a fraction of the time. Hard pass for me.
The battlepass did not got "leaked". Blizzard just has this battlepass concept which they are not sure about, so they are gathering some feedback before they are developing this concept further. Nothing more, nothing less.
Easy quit if they did this. But it's nice for them right? Force the players to play stupid amounts of time to get XP, and not even reward them for their wins because then they'd have gold to buy packs with instead of milking them more and since we're talking about gold for packs, they capped the gold too at an abominably low amount.

Pay-walling an uncraftable legendary...err yeah that sounds right up Blizzard's alley. Great.
They can try it if they like, the back-lash on reddit (and here too I guess lol) would be massive, and probably justified. They don't need to be borrowing crap ideas from fortnite.
IMO fuck anything in the games industry to do with "Passes" - pre-order passes...DLC 'premium' passes...now fucking Battlepasses...wtf is this shit? Can we please stop encouraging the suits to squeeze and bleed us dry. This shite is rotting the game industry from the inside and its nothing to do with devs, just suits pushing for more and more profit all the time with zero connection to the players or the artform and it's itegrity.
Fuck those guys and fuck the publishers and shareholders.
Yeah, because average FTP players rack up that much gold. Yes, it is a net decrease of gold per 4 months, I don't deny that. But the 18 free current cycle packs, 12 old school packs, 4 arena tickets and 2 free legendaries easily make up for more than that discrepancy. Easily netting you 7k worth of gold and packs, as well as whatever we value a legend and arena tickets at (personally I draw legends at 5 packs, and tickets at 1.5 on average). If we can actually reliably complete the ladder of rewards, it is better. The question is that if. I don't consider getting 100 gold a day from 30 wins a viable option for FTP, so instead if you can get through all these rewards on about 3 wins a day/6 games, I'd say it's better for the average player. I just get the feeling that's not going to be the case.

Well i know who did it before most of the people successfully and wasnt abusive with its implementation but i gues people are that greedy and stupid to implement/buy into it.
People complain NON-STOP! It's not even a thing yet. Maybe (probably?) they'll implement it...we don't even know.
I also like how everyone is clairvoyant. "If they implement this, their already small player base is going to get smaller. A bunch of people will just quit." Where are you getting these numbers? In YOUR opinion, this will happen.
Maybe you'll quit, but it doesn't mean a bunch of other people will. It seems a lot of people, on these forums at least, are unhappy (or just like to complain) with the game. If you are, then quit! You are not forced to play.
I get so tired of reading the same boring shit in all the posts. If you are not getting enough as F2P, then spend some money for all the hours of play you get. If not, then stop complaining. "I don't get enough free stuff." :sigh:
Please let this be in addition to quests. Quests themselves are basically my only source of gold as I'm a really casual player. Imagine getting punished even more for not playing a lot.

Idk what they were thinking. But i can gues that they wanna people to play more this game. Probably will backfire in the long run.

The 1st step towards a better game is firing Mike Donais! We had enough of his "skillful" balances!

Where can i see that "leak" ?
