I was looking out for the polls on hero pass and must have missed them but I just wanted to say thank you for trying out the hero pass, I love it, it’s a better yaktrack to me. I don’t like having to log on every day and this was a perfect way to play and still feel rewarded. Thank you for your hard work and I’m sorry it didn’t go well with some of the community. If you decide to not do another can we still get a system to be rewarded for playing your way? The daily challenges feel dated and out of the way to do and pulls away from me just playing, also if you miss a day then it’s impossible to get all the rewards and that makes me not even want to start them. Any ways, love the game, love the mods, thank you for reading this if you do.

the link was in the news posts on the main page. always check there for the newest things. this is the third cycle of the pass style content.

first was the runepass. only reason it was "successful" was they added a legendary pet for buying the premium version and that was half cost of any other legendary pet. go rot water dog.

second was the yak track. evolved over time, eventually settled on the "skill as you want or do focused mission that became too impossible to finish before the skill timer anyway and do 5 hours of grinding per level at the end" we had. was decent but was hard to reach the end without spending far far too much time invested on it.

third was hero pass. culled the daily challenges, added a bunch of pay to win bonuses, and locked anything worth it behind premier membership. was it set to fail from the start? hell yes.

now what do we need? take the rewards and just make them available as you go. set the time to complete so 99% of players WILL complete not CAN complete, if this means majority are done half way through the run then oh well. keep the hero pass mission system BUT DONT remove other similar systems. the missions are actually nice, they give you objectives to do or ignore. im not gonna do the 10 chronicles one, but 800 fish is something i will for cooking and hunter anyway. long as its NOT set that completing the missions is even needed there wont be an issue.

the biggest compliment they can get from us with this is they didnt wait 6 months, tell us we were the problem, then release another even more bs pass like pretty much any other game nowadays. that they actually pulled back is more than proof they are worth it.

I also enjoyed it. Unfortunately bad news travels faster than good news. We need to speak up in future when we enjoys something, or we'll get drowned out by complainers. That said, there are some good points made by "the other side" about pay-to-win features it had. Bob says:

I also missed the poll and am very sad that they are discontinuing :( I really enjoyed the flexibility of the hero pass vs. the Yak Trak, so I can decide which missions I want to tackle. Also having multiple missions at the same time to choose from was great so I didn't feel like I had to spend my time on something I didn't really feel like doing. Pretty sure I mostly play for the cosmetics, so I loved this.

The loss of the hero pass is a little sad. Far better than the Yak Track imo. OK, it needed work and less pay wall, but I did far more of the hero pass than I ever do of the daily challenges.

Hopefully the next iteration of passes will learn from this one.
