We could certainly set it up that way. There is a simple way to reset progress of everyones pass to start them over. At this time, we are uncertain on how long the period would be that a pass would last but, if i had to guess it would be every 2-3 months. That way we can explore new items and new things to add. Make it actually a season change.
- Would this reset after a period like other games' passes and have new seasons, giving players more opportunities to get different items? If so, how long would that period be
Right now we are planning for 40-50 tiers of rewards. Community items will not be included as the server must draw a .mdl file in order to get the reward. I envision that the lower the tier, the lower the rarity of the item so the further along you progress, the more rare the items will be. There will likely be a mix of stuff you get currently on shop and possibly some exclusive items that can only be earned through the reward pass.
- How many tiers would there be? What kind of rewards would be allotted? Are legendary or epic rarity items something that we'd see, or will we see less of those and more of rare, uncommon and common tier items? What about community items?
Yes! So once you unlock the tier, you will redeem the reward in the GUI menu. Once redeemed, the item will be placed in your inventory. I am unsure what will happen if you have a full inventory but, that can be tested. In theory, the reward should not redeem and you should be able to redeem it when someone clears a few items.
- How would this work in the concept of rewards? Would it work similarly to a crate where when you "win" something, it is automatically placed in your inventory? What if there is a situation with a player not having enough room in their inventory?
We could explore that idea but, as of right now, there is no integrated way to do that. We have also explored the idea of making the "PREMIUM" pass buyable with premium points via pointshop but, that is a project on its own.
- You mentioned that there is no monetary value involved to participate in this; would you allow people to use Premium Points to "buy tiers" similarly to other games' approach to battle passes?
I would love some more feedback or questions :)
