Patch v15.13 - Extended Battlepass and Offline Reward Changes

New Content:

• The Battlepass now goes up to Lv. 100+ and contains tons of new powerful resources, such as Supreme Tech, Supreme Tokens, and Mastery Points!

Changes:

• Slightly rebalanced many of the Battlepass rewards. They may have increased or decreased for you depending on what stage of the game you're at due to how they scale with your progress. The permanent Rank Exp rewards in particular received a huge buff. If you had previously claimed these Rank Exp rewards already, you'll be able to reclaim them again now with the much larger bonus.

• Prestige Power is now automatically included in your Offline Progress rewards again (no need to spend gems on an upgrade to unlock it). If you had already spent gems on that previously required unlock, they will be automatically refunded.

• The gem cost of adding the other resources to offline rewards (runes, tech, battlepass exp, and mastery points) were significantly reduced by roughly 50%. If you had already spent gems on these, the difference will be automatically refunded.

  • My reasoning for moving some of these resources from being previously freely included to now requiring a small gem cost is because these are very powerful resources that, in the early-game, are hard to come by due to shadows/aliens being difficult to kill with their HP scaling. It wouldn't make sense for these to be freely obtained from offline progress, because then early-game players would just be able to go offline to get better rewards (for free) than if they played actively and had to deal with the HP scaling limitations. That's just silly. So, I think it's fair they have to pay a few gems to unlock this benefit. For late-game players, these offline resources barely make a dent and so aren't too important, but also the gem cost should feel pretty negligible for them at that point anyways.
