Really happy to see more acknowledgement from the team these days in threads. Also, Battle pass =/= story pass
When can we have new Chinese New yr sign shards like rat/horse/dog/goat/roaster/pig and etc etc, I miss those
Im pritty sure the chinese new year doesnt start in jan its later in the year. Should get horse stuff then
Bring back the elaborate stories with dialogue choices and different completion tasks like the original story pass. A special room would be nice, like with the mermaid story pass. Offering random recolors for coins like the bakery pass was a cool concept, too.
Woop, my bad. Confirmed with the team that it is indeed a story pass that’s out soon, not a battle pass!
I'm so sorry to be the bearer of this news, but after triple confirming with the team, as of right now, it is a battle pass that is scheduled soon. In the past within our team, the terms 'battle pass' and 'story pass' have been used interchangeably though they are now two different types of content 🥴 However! We are now aware of the huge appetite for a story pass and this is going to be taken into account for future content. To clarify though, when you folks say "story pass" – do y'all mean like Escape the Grave? Or like Here Lies the Truth?
Thank you for taking the time to clarify within the team and communicate back with us. Like Here Lies the Truth (my favorite has been Beauty and the Beast). Where there are specific, various game functions required to pass on to the next chapter. I specifically like Beauty and the Beast for the low level misc that dropped from parties, as I loved collecting it.
If it helps, the only battle pass we had so far is Tied Up at Work. Every pass prior to the first battle pass were called story passes but had varying mechanics and formats that were being tested. From forum feedback in threads, players leaned towards the older mechanic of going at their own pace such as once a task was completed, another continued vs. waiting one full week before a new one opened to progress, etc. Woven Scales and Here Lies the Truth were some of my favorites.
Was really excited when I read story pass, now it's disappointment seeing battle pass. Tied Up at Work and the entire format was just not it for me. Having it only able to be purchased with real life cash was an ick. The only thing I liked about that entire thing was being able to see upfront what the rewards were and what was needed to achieve them, but.....for a casual player who doesn't flash or sit in ec clubs it was impossible to finish it so I didn't even bother buying it. Everything before was a story pass. Like Here Lies the Truth. Those are the ones that make the game more interesting. Requiring us to do different tasks on the game (like sending gifts, adding friends, spinning the spinner).
Yeah, all of the story passes prior the "office romance" were what we wanted. No one wants to pay with real life money when everything else needs to be brought with real life money, like seriously. We were able to buy story passes with EC's and that was fantastic as it was, plus we were able to get a "cash pass" to get the T1 avatars of the story pass The only thing nice about the "battle pass" was, that you could see the rewards. And I highly doubt anyone has asked for a "battle-pass". My personal favourite story passes were: A Rain of Peach Blossoms, Myth Fulfillment, A friend in Mead & Cruising for Love.
I dont know if i have a favorite one coz i dont really remember them but i like the setup of a cash version for a little bit of things then ec version for the rest of it
