Apex Legends players slam \u201cgrindy\u201d Season 7 Battle Pass Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 7 may have introduced an exciting new map and Legend to the game, but the new Battle Pass system is being heavily criticized by the community. The much-anticipated Season 7 of Apex Legends has arrived. Players are exploring the new map whilst getting grips with Horizon, Apex\u2019s latest Legend to be added to the roster. Alongside these major additions, Season 7 introduced a new Battle Pass system to the game involving the collection of \u2018Battle Stars\u2019. Unfortunately, this new system has been labeled as unrewarding and \u201cgrindy\u201d by the community. Ascension Battle Pass labeled as unrewarding A thread posted to the Apex Legends subreddit criticizing the Season 7 Battle Pass has received nearly 10,000 upvotes. The majority of the criticism aimed towards the Battle Pass revolves around the new \u2018Battle Star\u2019 System: \u201cthese new challenges and battle star system is extremely grindy\u2026I\u2019ve finished all of my daily quests and I still haven\u2019t levelled from 1-2.\u201d For developers, finding a middle-ground between a satisfying challenge and worthwhile rewards is key in keeping players engaged. It\u2019s obvious that Respawn\u2019s Season 7 Battle Pass is imbalanced and may need to be addressed. The thread continues, going into detail on the differences between this Season\u2019s Battle Pass and the previous: \u201cIt takes 10k xp to get 1 star\u2026 so 100k xp for 1 BP lvl. Previous BP xp track was 9\/18\/27\/36\/54\u2026 so basically we\u2019re getting 1 BP lvl for every 4 we would have gotten last season.\u201d It appears Respawn have significantly increased the grind between Battle Pass levels. This is disappointing for players who had become accustomed to the unlock tracks of the previous Seasons. Of course, players wouldn\u2019t be complaining as much if the Battle Pass was offering rewards that were worth the increased grind time. However, the post describes Season 7\u2019s Battle Pass rewards as mediocre and encourages Respawn to address the issue. A few displeased commenters on the thread have directly accused Respawn of making the changes for increased monetary gain: \u201cThey\u2019re doing it on purpose to try and get as much money as possible from the new influx of players from Steam.\u201d Another wrote: \u201cplayed for just over an hour and finished 3 dailies\u2026 this is a terrible idea.\u201d With the thread continuing to garner more upvotes, it will likely get the attention of Respawn, who always have their ear to the ground for community feedback. The question is, will they choose to fix the Battle Pass and implement a more satisfying system? Unfortunately, no one has the answer to that question at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
