Marvel Rivals players slam \u201cpointless\u201d Closed Beta Battle Pass rewards NetEase GamesMarvel Rivals players are frustrated by the game\u2019s Closed Beta Battle Pass and rewards, raising concerns about how the game will handle timed content moving forward. Following an Alpha in May, Marvel Rivals is back with a Closed Beta on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S that runs until August 5. The latest test allows players to try out the game and its various superheroes, including new characters Thor and Jeff the Land Shark. It also features a Battle Pass called Galacta\u2019s Quest, with various tiers that unlock rewards, including character skins. However, since this is a Closed Beta, very little of its content will carry over to the full game at launch, much to the frustration of players. In a Reddit post, one player called the Battle Pass and its higher tiers \u201cpointless,\u201d focusing particularly on the Herald of Thunder Thor skin unlocked as the final reward at level 42. The only Battle Pass rewards that will carry over from the Closed Beta are the Cyan Clash Venom skin (level 30) and Golden Abyss nameplate (level 40), which are both labeled as \u201cPermanent.\u201d Those who participated in the Closed Alpha and unlocked Scarlet Witch\u2018s Moonlit Witch skin will also be able to keep that. Many players are disinclined to even try reaching higher levels, with one top comment saying, \u201cI\u2019m getting to 30, and that\u2019s it.\u201d Making it more frustrating for players is that there\u2019s no way to grind for Battle Pass XP since new missions only unlock after a certain amount of time. That means, even if you manage to grab the Thor skin, you\u2019ll likely only have it for a day or two before the Beta ends, and most of your unlocks are wiped. That made one commenter joke, \u201cMy favorite part of this game is grinding for sh*t that I\u2019ll just lose in 7 days.\u201d While some have pointed out that the Battle Pass will help the developers gather data so they can make tweaks and improvements ahead of Marvel Rivals\u2019 official launch, some players are concerned about the game\u2019s handling of its timed content. \u201cI\u2019m tired of games only giving BP XP from missions\/challenges,\u201d said one player. With Marvel Rivals still in Closed Beta and no release date currently announced, the developers have time to adjust how the Battle Pass works and incorporate more ways to make progress in the future \u2013 even if that won\u2019t help anyone who wants to keep the skins and other content they\u2019ve unlocked so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
