Developer Stream May 10th - Countdown and Link
burningapolloSo they said repeatedly there is no "pay for power" in the battlepass, only cosmetic items. In the battlepass, all tiers including free, will have the "ashes" currency to buy power ups like XP boost, etc. which seem non-cosmetic but everyone can earn (what showed on screen seemed to be about level 5 or 10, can't recall exactly).
If you can purchase a premium battlepass (i.e. the ~25 USD tier) to skip the first 20 or so levels, then does that mean I get that "ashes" currency sooner, and therefore can essentially buy an XP boost? Isn't that essentially "pay of power" and purely not cosmetic?
Legitimately curious if I've misunderstood the info session today, so feel free to correct anything I've said that's incorrect.
FuenteHey Burning!
While Tier Skips can be used to unlock Tiers of the Battle Pass, there is still a level requirement for your character to meet before they can use certain amounts of Ashes acquired from the Tiers. Our blog goes into more detail about it here:
