New Battle Pass Like Watching Paint Dry

You got to ram them too! Do not forget to ram them!

Oh man! I had to edit!
First 30 seconds I rammed an enemy, a dual Caucasus, my mortal enemy, and knocked all his frames off in the encounter circle map with all the overpasses, Sinto City. Then, I kept cloaking and ramming him more and while he took out many turrets, I over powered him with ramming and turrets and rammed more enemy. Ram them all!

Ya, I love me some passive melee too. I wish they had a teal cab or something that buffed passive melee, or maybe a co-driver with a perk that buffed it a little…Maybe I’ll try something with a Tusk and some drones. That might help me get that fix…but I have a cannon challenge I need to do…nah, still not doing it. I like the Tusk drone-boat idea better.

You have to ram the enemy turrets, wheeled drones and kapkans too! No drones allowed except yours! If they have Falcons, then you drop your turrets at distance and tank the falcons until they die. The bots at my power score range always have drones.
The Tusk is a light cabin, so less durable than the Call, but faster and ramming bonus. I now use Phobos and Cheetah to boost my Call’s top speed. The Call gets the power boost for ramming or relocating for every drone deployed. It was the Dev’s worst idea ever.

I may have gone off topic. Should I edit my post above or post anew? I never know the proper etiquette.

So, my point was about running around using only Rare and Special Weapons and having fun does not require any of the goodies in the Battle Pass., thus the Battle Pass is not designed to please the long-time player.
The 3 BP’s I did buy rewarded Coins for extra levels plus the Coins unlocked for leveling the Season. Plus, I crafted the most expensive Legendary Weapons ASAP and made big coin depleting my stockpiles. I can now buy anything I desire, use it until I am bored and sell it back and lose the tax and not care. Many players are also in my position. If we want it, we can just buy it. So, I have no need of the BP’s anymore. I have made my fortune.
I will continue to jump through the hoops and complete every challenge, because challenges relieve boredom, but they mostly cause me frustration, to have to modify my blueprints for Autocannons or Cannons but I have weekends to waste time or enjoy building a new vehicle for the various challenges and I like to obtain the highest level a free to play player can gain. They got 30.00 out of me and now I have no need to give them anymore.
I do not fault players who buy the BP and make the most out of early access to the Blueprints and make their fortune. That is how I did it. 30.00 to never need anything in the game but to log on and ram stuff was well worth it.
They should go back to coins if they want my money. The coins alone were worth more than ten dollars.

No. The “large” ones have all been 3 months. People are confusing mini passes with the main ones.

They bitched about the small ones being too short.

This is just a thread of people that want to cry about every little thing instead of just sitting back and playing the game for fun.

No one yet has stated they planned to quit the game by October or demonstrated any actual reason it’s to long other than:

“i’m a little baby and don’t want to wait”…

There is the cash payment system for that.

It’s like people forgot the game has monetization for the impatient.

Me either.

Well, calling everyone who thinks the BP is too long “little babies” probably isn’t the best etiquette you could come up with.

Monetizing the game is fine by me. I’ve plopped down plenty of cash.

Doing it with incredibly long and boring seasons… Meh… It’s not interesting. You could come up with worse ways to try to make the game more fun and encourage people to both play and pay, but I’m kinda hard pressed to do that at the moment.

You could probably come up with ways to respond to another person’s opinion that you disagree with other than ridiculing them, too.

Yeah, but just having a new engine is not going to offer than much new gameplay compared to a new weapon or movement parts

It’s be kind of like if this was the syndicate battlepass and the first new item you get is the enlightenment, followed by 2 weeks of nothing but filler

This is incorrect. Pegasus is an extremely weird and game changing part. Its perk increases the power needed for power draining movement parts without limit.

In this video, there is 6 ML 200 and 4 Goliath Tracks. That is -280 power. The Pegasus responds by adding 143 percent power in addition to its base 44 percent power. The effect of this is that you can have an unlimited amount of tank tracks and still have a working ride with a Pegasus. This is new and creates the option for new builds that have never been seen before. My Pegasus firedog with 5 wheels only has a 5 percent Pegasus bonus.

In addition, no one knows the formula for how the Pegasus works to know what is possible in builds with it.

This should be something to keep the Crossout kiddies occupied for months. In addition, it is not just a competitive or Clan wars item. The Pegasus works on art builds and other wierdness that you may want to try out. Too bad Sandbland quit crossout again. I would have liked to see what he can do with the Pegasus.

So basically a build goes a bit faster and/or responds slightly less sluggishly
Yay but an engine is an engine, it’s going to be equally as exciting as sticking any build specific engine on a build that profits from the engine. Pretty cool but if I am running a build that needs a Cheetah, I’m never specifically excited about the Cheetah when it comes to a build. I’m not going “Heck yeah Colossus” on a build that runs a Colossus. I’m still not bouncing all over the walls in excitement over it rather than new guns or cabins or movement parts

The difference is that other engines buff builds. Pegasus makes never before seen builds possible. Maybe you want a 30 leg Gerrida millipede Levi or an 8 Goliath machine gun sandwich, or a working train on Sleipnir tracks. You can do that now. It wasn’t possible before.

Pegasus also buffs the build, unless allowing more than usual of movement parts somehow is not buffing the entire build. And a 30 leg gerrida with say double reapers is still just a double reaper build, 8 goliath machine gun sandwich is still a machine gun sandwich. All it does is allow more movement parts to be used as armor or bloat the survivability of a build, and that’s already being done by almost all the parts in general.

Just because I can now put 60 wheels on a build with Gun A and B, it’s still a wheeled build with gun A and B. I still am not excited over it like it’s something amazing, it’s just an engine that you slap on to have more movement parts. You want to put many omni wheels on a build? You need to slap an engine onto it at some point, but now you can put 20 instead of 8. It’ll still handle almost like the 8 Omni build because with 20 wheels you probably beef up the whole build everywhere, leaving 8 omnis on a colossus and 20 omnis on a pegasus being mostly the same, many movement parts and an engine to make it possible. Once again, not that exciting of a part

I’m excited about the engine.
Seems like a godsend for heavy builds, especially ones using legs and/or augers.
Definitely will allow for some things I could never do before.

Leviathans are another part of the game I don’t participate in, and I don’t know if you mentioned it or not, but I’m curious as to what kind of effect the Pegasus will have on that feature. What do you think? Is it gonna break things or make it cooler there?

Not pile on, but that engine is very exciting. It can be hard to appreciate a piece of hardware that doesn’t do anything by itself. I get that.

This game is all about the synergies among the parts. It’s why knowing the right combination of wheels, engines, cabs, and modules can turn a turd of a build into an OP beast.

It’s very hard to predict how it will be used, but I can see it completely shutting down the Fire Dog situation we currently have.

I like the legs, but pretty much only because I think they look really cool. If I buy this battle pass, the parts I think I will actually be using the most are that little fast cab and this engine. Not necessarily together, though.

I think it has potential to break Levi wars. Here’s why:

Levi wars is about inventory. A good Levi Wars team is a hover levi with 12 fused hovers, Scorps, Rippers, Mastodons and Helicons with 3-5 Barrier 9s fused for an extra barrier. Then for the minions, generally you want 2 Porc builds, 1 with 4 Porcs and 1 with 3 Porcs and Kapkans or a Flash, then you want 1 machine gun hover with Nothungs or Stillwinds or a Ripper Hadron hover. You want your minions to be able to switch to fire dogs if you run into other hover teams and they’re not running sausage levis. One firedog can KO a hover levi by pinning it, getting past the weapons and burning it to death.

This costs too much money. On Xbox, our clan can’t get hardly any wins for Levi wars because too many of our guys are new players or old returning players whose builds are out of meta. Levi wars teams have to be perfect and only levi wars specialists generally play the mode anymore.

Now, consider the Pegasus. What if the new Meta is 10 Goliaths or 30 Gerridas or something? Those parts will add exponential expense to what is already an unreasonably expensive game mode. Once one clan makes it work, then they all want to do it. Soon, no one can afford Gerrida legs because clan wars A-holes bought, hoarded and fused them all.

I’m not sure what is going to take off and be the new thing with the Pegasus, but I know that something will stick in Levi wars and it is likely to make the game more expensive.

I could. But I don’t guild the lilly.

Long ago my grandfather told me “get your finger out of that, it’s bullsh*t.”

It was a lesson that has served me well in life.

As soon as they announced the new engine when everyone was excited, I was like “be careful what you ask for”

This engine is the gateway to the next level of builds as more Legendary modules are added to the game.

Legendary modules are going to be a big money maker for the Devs. Clan wars guys will not be able to live without them.

I’m excited to see the new monsters it brings to the game, but it is going to make an even bigger divide between the haves and have nots.

This is why I’m glad they are adding this “band” system. This may even become some peoples end game. They might just want to fuse their builds up to the modes max PS and never worry about the big leagues.

Pretty much if you didn’t start playing clan war right from the start years and years ago… your sooooooo far behind. And only money can make up years.

Yep. Wait for the legendary radar that shows all mines and where your Heather is projected to land. Every legendary module will be game breaking in some way.

This one can, for all the 16-hover/8-Goliath cars.

The weird part is it doesn’t help any vehicle with small number of movement parts. I did put it on 4 omni (with medium cabin) and it was of no use whatsoever.

Even worse: I’ve tried to move uphill on my garage ramp and the vehicle speed dropped to 16 km/h.

Come to think about it, I paid for the whole $35 pass instead of the $10 one just to get this engine early. Nothing else really interested me in this pass. They got me.
