Massive change to the way i will play, i have relied on this to take up the slack in skills i dont enjoy. On the plus side it means that for the first time in many years i wont feel pressure to log on every day as there is nothing im missing out on now

I'm not a fan, I prefer the old daily task system.
I used to pick a skill, lock the rest and concentrate on levelling that skill.

I also think the Hero Pass is overcomplicated and cluttered.
The number appearing on the Upgrades and Extras menu button is annoying too.

Apart from the many other smaller annoyances already mentioned by various people (such as loss of max skill blocking, daily keys, taking way longer) Hero Pass has one glaring issue that just breaks it for me as a concept.

It cannot be completed in the given timeframe, literally, unless you pay heavily for bonds. It's 120 levels + 94 more (at 3k hero points each) to complete, meaning it requires over 1600 hours to do all that.

Even considering the rewards from the tasks you do, it still requires more than 12 hours a day if you want all the rewards. The amount of FOMO introduced with this, sigh, again.... I'm getting rather sick of it.

Amazing cosmetics, that's the only positive feedback I have on this. Shame that even that is turned into a negative part of it by the fact they are inaccessible unless paid for in bonds, many bonds.

No. Just... no. Be the change you would like to see in the world.

I dont like it, is putting it mildly....


If this happend once a year, ugh maybe, but the planning is every 3 months a new Hero pass, puke,

Every minute we can get 4 hero points, so the FOMO is strong.


Where can I get the Deathtouch dart from the Daily challenges?

Also 3 daily challenges(5-8 minutes of gameplay) got replaced by 1600+ hour grind. GG

Im still bugged btw, reported many times, that this character cant make UNF pots on a portable well.

I'm sure I read somewhere that vis wax can be used to reroll missions but I cannot find out how to do that. I didn't look until after I'd already finished the daily task. Is it only the daily missions that can be rerolled?

edit to add: Its
very
annoying that the special missions cannot be completed unless you do exactly what it says. With yak track we
always
had the skill and kill option.

I’ll be honest, I don’t care about Hero Pass. Plain and simple. I will engage with it to the extent of clearing the notifications. I would appreciate a way to control how much I’m notified about it. I also don’t understand why it can’t coexist with dailies or why it meant TH key rewards were taken away. The whole thing reeks of bad faith towards the community and greed. I get that this is a company that needs to remain profitable, but this is the wrong way about it.

Advertising a huge game update just to drop a new MTX thing blindsided everyone and it’s very frustrating as a player, especially when it takes away the daily challenges that got me geared up to play. While my day to day life in-game hasn’t changed much, it’s a lot less focused since I don’t have my daily challenges to set me on a path. At the very least, more freedom to decide on a particular skill in the pass would be nice since I could choose one skill for my dailies. My current pass objectives are in skills that do not go beyond 99, and I have several 120 skills that I would like to focus on instead.

On top of that, the ratio of premiere to non-premiere rewards is absurd. For someone who is on a budget and doesn’t expect to be a premier member anytime soon, there doesn’t feel like much incentive to care about it, despite it being drilled into my brain that it exists.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
